1. Overview of the game

First, an example of a game executed by the game device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The game device 1 can use the game-related discharge (hereinafter also referred to as "recording medium") 100 to execute, for example, a competitive game. Specifically, the game device 1 acquires character information (hereinafter referred to as "character information") recorded in the recording medium 100 by scanning the recording medium 100 . Thereafter, the game device 1 displays the character image on the display unit 6 . As a result, the game device 1 can execute a match-up game in which the corresponding character and the opponent character compete. After the game ends, the new recording medium 100 is ejected from the game device 1 . In addition, the game executed in the present game device 1 is not limited to the above-described fighting game, and may be a role-playing game, a board game, a simulation game, or the like.

2. Recording medium (discharge)

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

3. Gaming device

The sound output by the speaker 5 includes music pieces, sound effects, and the like stored in the storage unit 7 .

<Display part>

The display unit 6 has a function of displaying a game image (predetermined image). The display unit 6 is installed on the speaker 5 on the upper surface of the case 2 as shown in FIG. 1 . Although the display part 6 is comprised with one display panel, a touch panel may be sufficient. In addition, the display unit 6 is formed in a rectangular shape as shown in FIG. 1 , but is not limited thereto, and may be formed in a circular shape or a triangular shape.

The display unit 6 has a full screen area 61 for displaying 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 a 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, the game image is displayed on the entire screen area 61 .

An individual area 611 displays an area for displaying game images for the first sub game device 1A (a first area, that is, a first screen section) 611A, and for displaying a game image for the second sub game device 1B. a region (a second region, that is, a second screen section) 611B. The regions 611A and 611B are configured to have the same area as each other through the partition region 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 of the regions may be configured to be smaller than the area of the other region. For example, when a competitive game is executed, 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, it is possible to give the player the impression that the player of the first sub game device 1A is dominant.

The first area 611A is provided corresponding to the first sub operation unit 3A of the first sub game device 1A. The first region 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 region 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. Also, the first area 611A and the second area 611B may independently display an image.

The partition area (third area, that is, the third screen section) 612 has a function of dividing the first area 611A and the second area 611B. Accordingly, the partition area 612 is provided between the first area 611A and the second area 611B. The shape of the partition area 612 is not particularly limited, and may be an elongated 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. Also, as shown in FIG. 6 , the partition area 612 may have two partition areas divided along the longitudinal direction thereof. 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. By configuring in this way, a plurality of images and different images can be displayed on the partition area 612 .

The frame 62 is provided on the speaker 5 . The frame body 62 is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. For example, the frame body 62 may be formed in any shape such as a circular shape or an elliptical shape. The frame body 62 has a junction part 621 concave inwardly in the center of a long side. The frame body is formed symmetrically by this junction part 621. As shown in FIG. 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 body 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. 4 to 6 , the first rim member 62A and the second rim member 62B are formed in a substantially “C” shape. In addition, one end and the other end of the first frame member 62A are in contact with 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 symmetrically with respect to the joint portion 621 . Accordingly, the display unit 6 can be viewed as two display units.

As shown in Fig. 4, one end and the other end of the first frame member 62A are provided to face each other. Accordingly, an image identical to the external appearance of the short side of the frame body 62 (a partition image) can be displayed on the first partition area 612A from one end to the other end. For this reason, the annular frame member (62A of 1st frame members) can be formed by the 1st frame member 62A and a partition image. That is, the partition image appears to be integrally formed with the first frame member 62A. Accordingly, the player can be made aware that the display unit 6 has a separate sub display unit 6A.

On the other hand, one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B are provided to face each other. Therefore, the same image (partition image) as the external appearance of the short side of the frame body 62 can be displayed on the 2nd partition area|region 612B toward the other end from the one end. For this reason, an annular frame member (second frame member 62B) can be formed with the second frame member 62B and the partition image. That is, the partition image appears to be integrally formed with the second frame member 62B. Accordingly, the player can be made aware that the display unit 6 has a separate sub display unit 6B.

In this way, the frame 62 for the first sub game device 1A is constituted by the first frame member 62A and the partition image. Further, the second frame member 62B and the partition image constitute the frame body 62 for the second sub game device 1B. For this reason, one frame body 62 can be divided into two frame members 62A, 62B, and it is possible to give the player the impression that there are two game devices although it is one game device 1 . and the first frame member 62A (first area 611A) and the first sub-operation unit 3A, and the second frame member 62B (the second area 611B) and the second sub-operation unit 3B, The partition image is arranged symmetrically with respect to the central axis. Thus, it can further give the player the impression that there are two game devices.

＜Memories＞

Next, the storage unit 7 will be described. The storage unit 7 stores game programs and game data. The game program is a program for causing the game device 1 to execute a game and is realized through cooperation with hardware. In addition, game data is game-related data and includes character data, music data, image data, sound effect data, and the like.

Character data is data such as a character's name, special moves, weapons, toughness, rarity, and images. That is, the character data corresponds to the above-described character information and is identification information for identifying each character from each other. The music data is music data flowing from the speaker 5 . The music data includes a plurality of pieces of music data, such as a singer's music piece and a game piece, for example. The image data is game image data. The game image data includes, for example, data such as a character image, a background image, and various effect images. Sound effect data is sound data reproduced during game play and is different from music data. The sound effect data includes, for example, evaluation sound data that flows out according to the operation result of the player.

The storage unit 7 can store a predetermined event. The predetermined event includes a boss character appearance event, a bonus event, an intrusion battle event, and the like. Such a predetermined event is stored in association with a display area in which a game image is to be displayed and a partition image dividing the display area. For example, in the boss character appearance event A, the display area is only the entire screen area 61 and is matched so that there is no partition image. In addition, in the boss character appearance event B, the display area 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 full screen area 61, and another player plays with the second sub game device 1B, an event is triggered. That is, when the 2nd sub operation part 3B of the 2nd sub game apparatus 1B receives the intrusion battle operation input by another player, an intrusion battle B event is invoked. At this time, in the intrusion battle B, the display area|region is the individual area|region 611 and the partition area|region 612, and it respond|corresponds so that a partition image may be a bar image. At this time, the partition area 612 displays a partition image as shown in FIG. 4 .

In addition, since the accommodating part 11 of the discharge mechanism 10 mentioned later in this embodiment has the several stocker 111, the memory|storage part 7 is the information regarding the several stocker 111 (hereinafter referred to as "stocker information"). ") can be remembered. The stocker information includes, for example, information on what kind of discharge 100 is accommodated in the stocker 111 , information on which the number of discharge 100 of the stocker 111 becomes zero, and the like. Specific examples of the stalker information include the information shown in Tables 1 to 3 below.

Stalker number Emissions (100) types Emissions (100) Remaining first stocker (111) memory only 50 sheets remaining 2nd stocker (111) memory only 50 sheets remaining 3rd stocker (111) For rare discharges only 50 sheets remaining 4th stocker (111) For rare discharges only 50 sheets remaining 5th stocker (111) For rare discharges only 50 sheets remaining 6th stocker (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 stocker (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 (eg, 50) of the memory discharge 100 . In addition, the third to fifth stockers 111 each function exclusively for the rare discharge accommodating only the rare discharge 100 of a predetermined number (eg, 50 sheets). In addition, the sixth to tenth stockers 111 each function exclusively for normal discharges accommodating only a predetermined number of (eg, 50) normal discharges 100 . In addition, in Table 1, 50 sheets of memory discharge 100 remain in the first stocker 111 , and 50 memory discharge 100 sheets remain in the second stocker 111 . In addition, each of the third to fifth stockers 111 has 50 rare discharges 100 remaining. In addition, 50 sheets of normal discharge 100 remain in each of the sixth to tenth stockers 111 .

Stalker number Emissions (100) types Emissions (100) Remaining first stocker (111) memory only 45 sheets remaining 2nd stocker (111) memory only 50 sheets remaining 3rd stocker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 0 sheets remaining 4th stocker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 30 sheets remaining 5th stocker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 50 sheets remaining 6th stocker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 50 sheets remaining 7th Stalker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 50 sheets remaining 8th Stalker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 50 sheets remaining 9th Stalker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 50 sheets remaining 10th stocker (111) 20 rare discharges / 30 normal discharges 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 (eg, 50) of the memory discharge 100 . In addition, the third to tenth stockers 111 each function as a multi-stalker that receives the rare discharge 100 and the normal discharge 100 in a predetermined ratio (rare discharge: normal discharge = 20:30 in Table 2). In relation to this accommodation, a shrink (package) in which a set of 20 rare discharges 100 and a set of 30 normal discharges 100 following it are bundled may be accommodated in the stocker 111 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 on which kind of waste 100 each stocker 111 is accommodating according to the remaining amount of the waste 100 . For example, in Table 2, the remaining amount of the discharge 100 of the fourth stocker 111 is 30 sheets. Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the information that the fourth stocker 111 is in a state that all of the 20 rare discharges 100 set in order from the bottom are discharged. That is, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the information that the fourth stocker 111 is in a state in which 30 normal discharges 100 remain, and is dedicated to normal discharges. In addition, since the remaining amount of the discharge 100 of the fifth to tenth stockers 111 is 50 sheets, these stockers 111 are from the bottom 20 sheets of rare discharge 100 followed by 30 normal discharges 100. The acquisition means 81 can acquire the information. That is, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the information that the stockers 111 are in the exclusive state of the rare discharge 100 until all of the 20 rare discharges 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 (eg, 50) of the memory discharge 100 . In addition, the third to eighth stockers 111 function as random stockers that receive the rare discharge 100 and the normal discharge 100 at random, respectively. In addition, the ninth stocker 111 functions exclusively for normal discharges accommodating only a predetermined number of normal discharges 100 (eg, 50 sheets). In addition, the tenth stocker 111 functions exclusively for rare discharges accommodating only a predetermined number of rare discharges 100 (eg, 50 sheets). In addition, in the example of Table 3 above, as stocker information regarding the remaining amount of discharged material 100 , only information regarding the presence or absence of discharge 100 of each stocker 111 is stored in the storage unit 7 . The acquisition means 81 can acquire information regarding which stocker 111 is in an empty state also through such stocker information.

The information described in Tables 1 to 3 is an example of stalker information, and the stalker information is not limited to the above-described information. For example, the memory-only stocker 111 does not need to be provided. And a set in which the rare discharge 100 and the normal discharge 100 are randomly arranged may be accommodated in all the first to tenth stockers 111 . In addition, even when the storage unit 7 does not store the stocker information, as shown in the above-described stocker information, the stocker 111 can actually accommodate various discharges 100 . This can be achieved, for example, through a store employee or the like in which the game device 1 is installed.

Moreover, the discharge candidate holding|maintenance part 131 of the discharge|emission mechanism 10 mentioned later has the holding plate 1311 of several (1st - 50th in this embodiment). Therefore, the storage unit 7 provides information on the ratio of the memory discharge 100, the rare discharge 100, or the normal discharge 100 to the plurality of retention plates 1311 (hereinafter, “retention plate ratio information”). ") can be remembered. As the retention plate ratio information, for example, the information shown in Table 4 below is exemplified.

1st - 5th holding plate (1311) Emissions for Memory (100) 6th to 25th retention plate (1311) Rare Discharge (100) 26th to 50th retention plate (1311) Normal emissions (100)

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

<control unit>

Next, the control part 8 is demonstrated. The control unit 8 controls all functions related to game execution. As shown in FIG. 3 , the control unit 8 includes an acquisition unit 81 , a game processing unit 82 , a display control unit 83 , a sound output control unit 84 , and an operation control unit 85 .

(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, and the like. 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, information about character selection, and the like. In addition, the acquisition means 81 acquires the character information and the like read by the reading unit 4 . In addition, various information acquired through the communication unit 9 described later is acquired.

Moreover, the acquisition means 81 has a function of acquiring the positional information etc. of each part of the discharge mechanism 10 detected by the detection part 17 mentioned later. For example, the acquisition means 81 can detect the positional information of each of the plurality of stockers 111, the positional information of each of the plurality of holding plates 1311, and the like.

(game processing means)

The game processing means 82 has a function of processing the information and game progress acquired by the acquisition means 81 . For example, the game processing means 82 determines the game image information stored in the storage 7 and provides it to the display control means 83 . The game processing means 82 determines the sound information and provides it to the sound output control means 84 . Further, the game processing means 82 determines and activates a predetermined event. As such, the game processing means 82 processes the overall game progress.

Here, the determination of the predetermined event by the game processing means 82 may be executed randomly, periodically, or by receiving an operation input from a player. In addition, the game processing means 82 can specify a specific partition image corresponding to a predetermined event, and can determine to display a predetermined image in addition to the partition image.

In addition, the game processing means 82 may temporarily select or select the discharge 100 to be a discharge candidate according to player information (the number of players, character information connected to each player, etc.). In addition, the game processing means 82 may check what kind of discharge 100 has been discharged. The game processing means 82 may check whether there is a predetermined number of discharges 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, which will be described later. Further, the game processing means 82 may process the game progress based on the number or type of discharges 100 arranged in the emission candidate holding unit 131 and/or based on the types of discharges 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 the game image information provided by the game processing means 82 and the display of the partition image. For example, the display control means 83 independently controls the game image display in both the first area 611A and the second area 611B of the display unit 6 as shown in FIG. 4 . Further, the display control means 83 controls the display of the game image in the entire screen area 61 as shown in FIG. In addition, the display control means 83 controls the display of a partition image (FIG. 6) such as a linear partition image (FIG. 4), a game image, or a character image in the partition area 612. As shown in FIG. In this way, the display control means 83 can control the image display to separately display a predetermined image 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 a piece of music or sound determined by the game processing means 82 . When the sound output control means 84 provides sound or music information to the speaker 5 , the speaker 5 can output the sound or music.

(motion control means)

The operation control means 85 has a function of controlling the operation of each part of the discharge mechanism. For example, the operation control means 85 can independently control each of 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 controls the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 simultaneously or separately. It can be rotated separately. In addition, the rotation direction may be either a clockwise direction or a counterclockwise direction. Moreover, the operation control means 85 may be able to change these rotation speeds freely.

In addition, the operation control means 85 has a function of controlling a process related to the discharge of the discharge 100 of the discharge mechanism 10, which will be described later. For example, the operation control means 85 controls various discharges 100 to the first to 50th holding plates 1311 to be described later based on the holding plate ratio information (for example, the ratio described in Table 4 above). The first operation unit 12 , the second operation unit 13 , and the extrusion mechanism 14 may be independently controlled to each other.

<Communication Department>

The communication unit 9 has a function of communicating with an external network (LAN, WAN, Internet, etc.) or a 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 communicate with other devices to obtain music data or game programs. Therefore, the game program can be updated to provide the latest games. Also, the game device 1 may not have the communication unit 9 .

<Ejection mechanism>

The game device 1 of the present invention has a discharge mechanism 10 capable of efficiently discharging the discharge 100 according to the game result. The discharge mechanism 10 is an example of the discharge mechanism of the present invention. Hereinafter, the structure of the discharge mechanism 10 is demonstrated in detail based on preferable embodiment shown in an accompanying drawing.

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 forward to the left. In addition, a case for accommodating a coin, a CPU of the game device 1, etc. are accommodated inside the case 2, but are omitted for convenience of explanation.

7 and 8, the discharging mechanism (dispensing mechanism) 10 includes a receiving portion 11, a first operation portion 12, a second operation portion 13, an extrusion mechanism 14, and a discharge guide portion. 15 , an imaging unit 16 , a detection unit 17 , and a pedestal unit 18 .

(receptor)

The accommodating part 11 has a function of accommodating a plurality of discharges 100 . In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7 , the accommodating part 11 includes 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 part 11 is provided with a plurality of stockers 111 as a plurality of accommodating parts. Accordingly, various discharges 100 may be accommodated in a predetermined ratio for each of the plurality of stockers 111 . Accordingly, it is possible to adjust the ratio of the types of the discharges 100 disposed in the emission candidate holding unit 131, which will be described later, so that the discharges 100 can be efficiently discharged according to the game result.

In addition, although the number of the stockers 111 is ten in this embodiment, it is not limited to this. It is preferable that it is two or more, and, as for the number of the stockers 111, it is more preferable that it is three or more. In addition, the number of discharges 100 that can be accommodated in each stocker 111 is not particularly limited and may be, for example, 50 sheets. The plurality of stockers 111 may each receive a different type of discharge 100, for example, as described in the above-mentioned stocker information.

As shown in FIG. 9 , each stocker 111 includes a body portion 112 and a foot portion 113 . The main body 112 has a cylindrical shape with a rounded angle to correspond to the shape of the discharge 100 . In addition, the body portion 112 has a notch portion 112A on one side thereof. Through the notch portion 112A, for example, a part of a hand (a finger) can be inserted into the body portion 112 . For this reason, it can be easily accommodated in the stocker 111 while supporting the plurality of discharges 100 by hand. Also, there is an advantage in that the game device 1 is easy to manage because, for example, the discharge 100 accommodated when the front door of the case 2 is opened can be seen with the naked eye. As a result, it is possible to avoid a state in which the discharge 100 is not accommodated in the stocker 111 , and the discharge 100 can be efficiently discharged more reliably according to the game result.

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

9 and 10 , the foot part 113 has a base part 1131 and a rim-shaped part 1132 provided above the base part 1131 . In addition, the foot part 113 has a bottom plate part 1133 installed to be supported inside the base part 1131 .

The base portion 1131 has a box shape with an open top, and has a front surface 1131a, a rear surface 1131a', a right side surface 1131b, and a left side surface 1131b' (FIGS. 10(a) and 10(b)). ) Reference). The upper ends of the base portion 1131 corresponding to the front surface 1131a and the rear surface 1131a' are formed to support the frame portion 1132 . On the other hand, 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.

In addition, 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 discharge 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 discharge 100 to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 .

The edge-shaped portion 1132 is formed to protrude from the base portion 1131 . Accordingly, the frame portion 1132 can be fitted with the lower end of the beam portion 1121 of the body portion 112 . In addition, the frame portion 1132 has a slit portion 113D corresponding to the notch portion 112A of the body portion 112 (refer to Fig. 9). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 ( c ), the slit part 113D is installed adjacent to the bottom plate part 1133 . Therefore, through the slit part 113D, it is possible to correct a positional shift of the discharge product 100 in contact with the bottom plate part 1133, and the game device 1 can be easily managed. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress or prevent clogging of the discharge 100 in the accommodating part 11 , and it is possible to more reliably and efficiently discharge the discharge 100 according to the game result. The position of the slit portion 113D may be provided so as to correspond to the notch portion 112A. Therefore, in a state in which the stocker 111 is installed in the first operation part 12, the notch part 112A and the slit part 113D are on the outer surface of the stocker 111 (the left surface 1131b' of the base part 1131). side of the corresponding position). That is, in a state in which the stocker 111 is installed in the first operation unit 12 , the notch portion 112A and the slit portion 113D are placed in the stocker 111 to face the opposite to the center of the first operation unit 12 . can be installed. Thereby, even when a plurality of stockers 111 are arranged side by side, the above-mentioned effect can be exhibited more remarkably.

Further, the frame 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 edge-shaped portion 1132 , the long skirt portion 1132a is installed downward from one side corresponding to the right side 1131b of the base portion 1131 , and the short skirt portion 1132a ′ is the base portion 1131 . ) is installed downward from one side corresponding to the left side 1132b'.

The lower end of the long skirt portion 1132a is angled with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operation portion 12 in a state in which the stocker 111 is installed vertically on the first operation portion 12 . is formed by forming For this reason, the lower end of the long skirt portion 1132a is configured to correspond to the inclination of the bottom plate portion 1133 to be described later (refer to FIG. 10(b) ). Also, a gap 113B is formed between the lower end of the long skirt portion 1132a and the bottom plate portion 1133 as shown in FIG. 10(b) . Through the gap 113B, a first extruded portion (extruded member for placement) 144 described later extrudes the discharged material 100 provided on the bottom plate portion 1133 toward a discharge candidate holding portion 131 described later. can do.

On the other hand, the lower end of the short skirt portion 1132a' is also configured to form an angle with respect to the first operation unit 12 to correspond to the inclination of the bottom plate portion 1133 to be described later. Also, 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 effluent 100 can be reliably discharged to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 .

The bottom plate 1133 has a function of supporting the discharge 100 . The bottom plate portion 1133 is formed to be inclined from the upper end of the front surface 1131a of the base portion 1131 toward the middle portion of the rear surface 1131a'. That is, in a state in which the stocker 111 is vertically installed on the first operation unit 12 , the bottom plate part 1133 forms an angle with respect to the first operation unit 12 . The inclination angle is, for example, preferably in the range of 10° to 45°, and more preferably in the range of 15° to 30°, with respect to the upper surface of the mounting unit 121 of the first operation unit 12 . This inclination angle is set so that it may correspond (preferably coincide) with the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 mentioned later. Thereby, the extruded discharge 100 can be reliably discharged to the discharge candidate holding part 131 . In addition, the bottom plate portion 1133 of this configuration can support the discharge 100 in an inclined state, and can reduce the width of the stocker 111 by the inclined portion. As a result, the mechanism itself can be downsized. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce the cost required for the device. In addition, the corresponding or coincident inclination angle of each member points out the angle at the time of the state combined by the discharge mechanism 10 with each member. In addition, the corresponding or coincident inclination angle of each member means that the inclination angle of each member with respect to the corresponding installation surface corresponds or coincides with the installation surface (for example, the ground or floor) in a state where the game device 1 is installed on the installation surface (eg, the ground, floor surface). can mean Each member having a corresponding or coincident inclination angle may also be said to have a corresponding inclination structure.

In addition, the bottom plate portion 1133 is installed parallel to the first operation unit 12 in a state in which the stocker 111 is installed vertically on the first operation unit 12 and does not support the discharge 100, It may be configured to move by a predetermined angle in the downward direction with the weight of the discharge 100 . That is, the bottom plate portion 1133 may be elastically applied by a spring or the like to be inclined to move. In this way, when the bottom plate part 1133 is configured to move at an angle, each stocker 111 itself is set at a certain angle with respect to the upper surface of the placing part 121 of the first operation part 12 (for example, 45° to 80°). It is preferable to install it to form a furnace angle. The angle is formed by the upper surface of the placing unit 121 and the side surface of the stocker 111 (the main body 112) opposing the upper surface of the stocker 111 in a state where the stocker 111 is installed in the first operation unit 12. means the angle. Accordingly, the force applied to the bottom plate portion 1133 (and the discharge 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133) due to the weight of the discharge 100 itself is reduced. Therefore, while inclining the bottom plate part 1133, which is in a state of supporting the discharge 100, at a predetermined angle (for example, 10 ° to 45 °) with respect to the upper surface of the mounting part 121 of the first operation part 12, the bottom plate part The discharge 100 in contact with 1133 can be smoothly discharged to the discharge candidate holding unit 131 .

In addition, the bottom plate part 1133 protrudes in the left and right direction of the foot part 113 beyond the right side surface 1131b and the left side surface 1132b' of the base part 1131 (FIG. 10(a)). In addition, the end of the bottom plate portion 1133 protruding from the right side surface 1131b has a tapered portion 1133a whose thickness is gradually reduced. For this reason, the first extrusion part 144 can be smoothly guided to the upper surface of the bottom plate part 1133, and the discharge 100 installed on the bottom plate part 1133 can be reliably extruded.

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

(1st operation part)

The first operation unit 12 has a function of operating with respect to the second operation unit 13 to be described later in a state in which the accommodation unit 11 is installed. In the present embodiment, the first operation unit 12 includes a mounting unit 121 formed in a disk shape, and a first motor 122 for driving the mounting unit 121 . Meanwhile, in FIG. 11 , only a portion of the motor (the first stator and the first bearing) is described as the first motor 122 for convenience of description.

The mounting unit 121 has a function of placing various members, and each stocker 111 is mounted at an outer peripheral end thereof along the circumferential direction. In other words, a plurality of stockers 111 as a plurality of accommodating portions are provided on the first operation portion 12 in an annular shape. In addition, a second extruding unit (a pair of extruded units) 145 to be described later is installed at the outer peripheral end of the mounting unit 121 , which will be described later. In addition, the mounting unit 121 is configured to be able to insert the shaft of the first motor 122 through the central portion. Accordingly, the first operation unit 12 may be rotated by the driving force of the first motor 122 . Therefore, the first operation unit 12 can efficiently move the receiving unit 11 installed in the annular shape on the mounting unit 121 in the circumferential direction. For this reason, it is possible to efficiently discharge the discharge 100 according to the game result. Moreover, since the mounting part 121 is formed in the disk shape, the operation|movement (rotation) of the 1st operation part 12 can be performed efficiently. As described above, the mounting unit 121 is preferably formed to correspond to the operation of the first operation unit 12 . For example, when the first operating unit 12 operates linearly, the mounting unit 121 may be formed in a rectangular shape.

In addition, accommodation and replenishment of the discharge 100 for the plurality of stockers 111 is basically performed in a state in which the discharge mechanism 10 is disposed inside the case 2 . In general, it is difficult to replenish the discharge 100 to the stocker 111 on the inside of the case 2 in this state. However, in this embodiment, since the first operation unit 12 in which the receiving unit 11 is installed rotates, the discharge 100 can be easily replenished. An operation button for automatically performing the rotation of the first operation unit 12 may be separately installed on the pedestal portion 18 of the discharge mechanism 10 . Accordingly, it is possible to supplement the discharge 100 more easily. In addition, the stocker 111 may be detachably provided in the mounting unit 121 . Due to this, it is possible to more easily replenish the discharge 100 with respect to the accommodating part 11 .

(Second operation part)

The second operation unit 13 has a function of operating in a state of holding a plurality of discharges 100 to be discharge candidates emitted from the receiving unit 11 . As shown in FIG. 12 , the second operation unit 13 includes a discharge candidate holding unit 131 , an arrangement unit 132 , an arm-shaped support unit 133 , and a second motor 134 . Meanwhile, in FIG. 12 , only a portion of the motor (the second stator and the second bearing) is described as the second motor 134 for convenience of description.

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 holding a plurality of discharge candidates (50 in this embodiment). That is, each of the plurality of holding plates 1311 holds the exhaust 100 to be a discharge candidate. By the emission candidate holding unit 131 , the greater the number of emission candidates 100 to be held, the greater the effect of the discharge mechanism 10 discharging the emission 100 on demand.

Each retaining plate 1311 has a hoe-shaped placement surface 1311a on which the discharge 100 is placed. In the arrangement surface 1311a, three arrangement areas 1311a extend to one side through the central portion thereof, and two arrangement areas 1311a extend to the other side. Through the configuration having such a disposition area, the contact area between the disposition surface 1311a and the surface of the discharge 100 is reduced. As a result, disposing of the discharge 100 on the holding plate 1311 and discharging (discharging) of the discharge 100 from the holding plate 1311 can be performed smoothly.

Also, a bent portion 1311b is provided at the tip of each of the five arrangement regions 1311a extending in the opposite direction so as to be bent upward. Since the retaining plate 1311 has such a bent portion 1311b, the discharge 100 can be supported by the bent portion 1311b even when the retaining plate 1311 is in an inclined state. Therefore, the holding plate 1311 can reliably hold the discharge 100 in the inclined state. Each retaining plate 1311 is provided on the arrangement 132 .

The arrangement unit 132 has a function of arranging and placing the holding plate 1311 . The arrangement part 132 has an annular shape, and its inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting part 121 of the first operation part 12 so as to surround the first operation part 12 . The plurality of retaining plates 1311 are arranged on the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132 so that the adjacent retaining plates 1311 partially overlap each other. In this arrangement state, the plurality of retaining plates 1311 are inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement unit 132 . The inclination angle is, for example, preferably in the range of 10° to 45°, more preferably in the range of 15° to 30°, with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132 . For this reason, more holding plates 1311 can be installed than when the discharge 100 is laid flat on the upper surface of the arrangement 132 (there is no angle with respect to the upper surface). By holding more emission 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 angle of inclination of the retaining plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement 132 and the angle of inclination of the bottom plate 1133 with respect to the upper surface of the mounting unit 121 of the first operation unit 12 correspond to each other (preferably). matches). In this way, each of the plurality of retaining plates 1311 forms an angle to correspond to the inclination angle of the bottom plate portion 1133 . For this reason, the discharge 100 can be smoothly and reliably discharged from the stocker 111 installed in the first operation unit 12 to the holding plate 1311 .

The female support part 133 has a function of supporting the arrangement part 132 . The female support part 133 includes five arms 1331 , and a support plate 1332 is installed at the tip of each arm. The bottom surface of the arrangement part 132 is in contact with the upper surface of each support plate 1332 , whereby the arrangement part 132 is supported by the female support part 133 . The driving force of the second motor 134 is transmitted to the arrangement portion 132 via the female support portion 133 , and the emission candidate holding portion 131 operates (rotates in the present embodiment).

In the present embodiment, the second operation unit 13 is installed to surround the first operation unit 12 . Accordingly, the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 may rotate adjacent to each other. For this reason, the predetermined stocker 111 among the plurality of stockers 111 installed in the first operation unit 12 and the predetermined retention plate 1311 among the plurality of retention plates 1311 can be efficiently matched, and the predetermined stocker 111 can be effectively matched. The discharge 100 of (111) can be smoothly and reliably discharged to a predetermined holding plate. As described above, since the first operation unit 12 can efficiently operate with respect to the second operation unit 13 , it is possible to efficiently discharge the waste according to the game result.

(Extrusion mechanism)

The extrusion mechanism 14 has the function of pushing the effluent 100 . Specifically, the function of extruding the discharge 100 contained in the accommodating part 11 to the emission candidate holding unit 131 and the discharge 100 held in the emission candidate holding unit 131 to the discharge inducing unit 15 . It has an extruding function. As such, the extrusion mechanism 14 is configured to discharge the effluent 100 from the receiving portion 11 to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 , and also to discharge the discharge 100 from the discharge candidate holding portion 131 to the discharge guide portion 15 . In this way, the configuration of the extrusion mechanism 14 is not particularly limited as long as the function of discharging the discharge 100 between the respective parts can be exhibited. That is, the extrusion mechanism 14 should just have a structure functioning as a discharge|emission sending part. This extrusion mechanism 14 may be referred to as a third operation unit.

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

The mounting plate 141 has a small disk shape and has a function of placing various members. The diameter of the mounting plate 141 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting unit 121 of the first operating unit 12 , and the mounting plate 141 is supported by an axis different from the axis of the first operating unit 12 . (121) is installed in the central part. For this reason, the mounting plate 141 is in a fixed state 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 . Thus, although the mounting plate 141 of the extrusion mechanism 14 is fixed in this embodiment, it may be movable, for example, it may be rotatable.

The third motor 142 has a function of driving the first extrusion unit 144 through the elastic belt member 143 taut. When the elastic belt member 143 is operated to rotate by the driving force of the third motor 142 , the first extruded part 144 may be operated in two directions left and right, that is, in a straight line. In this embodiment, the first extrusion unit 144 operates in unison. In addition, the first extrusion unit 144 may be configured to operate independently for each of its both ends. For example, when one end of the first extruded portion 144 operates, the other end may be stationary, or they may operate in different directions at the same time.

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 such a function can be exhibited. For example, the inner surface of the elastic belt member 143 may be comprised in a plane, and may have a some convex part arrange|positioned and provided at predetermined pitch.

The first extruding unit 144 has a function of extruding the discharge 100 so that the discharge 100 accommodated in the receiving unit 11 is disposed in the discharge candidate holding unit 131 . Both ends of the first extruded portion 144 are composed of two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b having dimensions capable of extruding the discharge 100 . The two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b are installed inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the mounting plate 141 in a state in which they face different directions while having a common axis like the blades of a pinwheel. The inclination angle is preferably, for example, in the range of 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 extrusion unit 144, the inclination angle of the retaining plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement 132, and the upper surface of the mounting unit 121 of the first operation unit 12 described above. The inclination angles of the bottom plate part 1133 correspond to each other (preferably coincident). Accordingly, the first extruding unit 144 may extrude the discharge 100 accommodated in the stocker 111 to be surely exported to the holding plate 1311 .

Next, the second extrusion unit 145 will be described. The second extruding unit 145 has a function of extruding the discharge 100 held in the holding plate 1311 by being extruded by the first extruding unit 144 to the discharge inducing unit 15 . The second extruding part 145 is spaced apart from each other in the mounting part 121 . More specifically, the second extrusion portion 145 is installed spaced apart 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 mounting unit 121 . In addition, the second extruded parts 145 are continuously installed with a plurality of stockers 111 along the circumferential direction. By configuring in this way, if the operation of the first operation unit 12 is controlled, the second extrusion unit 145 and the plurality of stockers 111 can be positioned. In this way, positioning of a plurality of members can be performed efficiently.

The second extrusion unit 145 includes a rail member 1451 , a contact member 1452 , and an extrusion member 1453 for discharging as shown in FIG. 11 . The extruding member 1453 for discharging is installed on the rail member 1451 together with the contact member 1452 in a state in which it is urged toward the center of the mounting unit 121 . In addition, the first extrusion portion 144 is installed between the second extrusion portion (a pair of extrusion portions) 145 . Accordingly, as the mounting unit 121 of the first operation unit 12 rotates, the extruding member 1453 for discharging is positioned adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a or 144b of the first extruding unit 144 . In this state, when the first extruded portion 144 contacts the contact member 1452 , the extruded member 1453 for discharge is extruded toward the retaining plate 1311 .

In this way, the second extrusion portion 145 exhibits its function by being extruded by the first extrusion portion 144 . In order to reliably exert this mechanism, it is preferable to make the second extruded part 145 and the first extruded part 144 correspond (they are positioned on the same straight line). In this embodiment, the two second extruding parts 145 are spaced apart from each other and installed in the first operating unit 12 , and the first extruding unit 144 is installed between the two second extruding units 145 . . Accordingly, if one of the two second extruded parts 145 is made to correspond to the first extruded part 144 (they are positioned on the same straight line), the function can be reliably exhibited. Therefore, the function of the second extrusion unit 145 can be efficiently exhibited. In addition, the second extrusion unit 145 may have 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 of the extruded members 1453 for discharging of the second extruded portion 145 is at a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the mounting unit 121, similarly to the two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b of the first extruded 144 described above. It is installed at an inclined angle. It is preferable that it is the range of 10 degrees - 45 degrees with respect to the upper surface of the mounting part 121, and, as for this inclination angle, it is more preferable that it is the range of 15 degrees - 30 degrees.

The inclination angle of the extruding member 1453 for discharge, the inclination angle of the retaining plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132, and the inclination angle of the first extrusion unit 144 with respect to the upper surface of the mounting unit 121 described above The inclination angles of the figure and the bottom plate part 1133 correspond to each other (preferably coincidentally). For this reason, the first extruding part 144 can extrude the discharge 100 accommodated in the stocker 111 to be reliably exported to the holding plate 1311 . In addition, the first extruding unit 144 may extrude the discharge 100 held in the holding plate 1311 through the second extruding unit 145 and discharge (discharge) to the discharge induction unit 15 reliably. As described above, in the present embodiment, the inclination angles of the plurality of (at least two) members correspond (preferably coincide) with each other in the plurality of operation units that operate correspondingly. Accordingly, the discharge 100 can be efficiently discharged. In other words, the discharge 100 can be efficiently discharged by having the inclined structure corresponding to the plurality of members.

(Exhaust induction part)

The discharge guide part 15 has a function to guide the discharge 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 structure, two discharge guide parts 15 are provided. According to the configuration of the game device 1, the number of discharge guide portions 15 can be appropriately selected. In the present embodiment, the two discharge guide portions 15 are provided adjacent to the discharge candidate holding portions 131 on both sides of the discharge mechanism 10 . Each discharge guide part 15 has a gate part 151 and a discharge path 152 .

The gate portion 151 has a function of reliably guiding the discharge 100 extruded from the candidate discharge holding portion 131 to the discharge guide portion 15 to the discharge path 152 . As long as it has such a function, the structure is not specifically limited. In the present embodiment, the gate portion 151 is provided adjacent to the emission candidate holding portion 131 as shown in FIG. However, a part of the gate portion 151 may be configured to cover the upper portion of the emission candidate holding portion 131 . In other words, the discharge guide portion 15 may have a cover portion above the emission candidate holding portion 131 . For this reason, it is possible to prevent the discharge 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 from escaping to a portion other than the discharge path 152 .

In addition, the gate part 151 may be provided with a gate sensor for detecting that the discharge 100 has passed there. Accordingly, the detection unit 17 may detect an abnormal discharge of the emission 100 . And when an abnormality occurs, abnormality information is acquired by the acquisition means 81, and the game processing means 82 may temporarily suspend the game. As a result, the exhaust can be efficiently discharged.

The discharge path 152 has a function of guiding the discharge 100 passing through the gate unit 151 to the discharge port 21 . As long as it has the function, the configuration of the discharge path 152 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, the discharge path 152 is configured to have a sloped surface so that the discharge 100 slides down to the discharge port 21 due to its own weight.

(imaging unit)

The imaging unit 16 has a function of reading identification information of the discharge 100 held in 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 arrangement unit 132 . Also, when an identification code (eg, micro QR code) is attached to the mounting surface 1311a of the holding plate 1311 , the imaging unit 16 may read the identification code.

Specifically, after the discharge 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 positioned below the imaging unit 16 . . Accordingly, the camera 161 can read the identification information of the discharge 100 from above the holding plate 1311 . Also, after the discharge 100 of the holding plate 1311 is discharged, the second operation unit 13 rotates so that the holding plate 1311 is positioned below the image pickup unit 16 . Accordingly, the camera 161 may 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 discharge 100 and the identification code of the arrangement surface 1311a, the abnormality information is acquired by the acquisition means 81 . And the game processing means 82 may suspend the game.

The type of the camera 161 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a visible light camera, an infrared camera, and a full spectrum camera. In this embodiment, the camera 161 is constituted by an infrared camera.

(detection unit)

The detection unit 17 has a function of detecting and sensing information about the state of the discharge mechanism 10 . The information on the state of the discharging mechanism 10 includes, for example, position information of each part, information on the number of sheets of the discharging product 100 accommodated in each stocker 111 , and the like. For example, the detection unit 17 may detect position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 installed in the first operation unit 12 . In addition, the detection unit 17 may detect position information of each holding plate 1311 installed in the second operation unit 13 . In order to detect these positional 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 a stocker 111 serving as a reference among each stocker 111, and each stocker ( 111) has a second sensor 172 for detecting the location information (see FIGS. 8 and 13). 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 has a third sensor (index sensor) 173 for detecting the holding plate 1311 serving as a reference among the holding plates 1311, and holding each holding plate 1311 as a reference in this order. 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 disposed so as to detect the positional information of each retaining plate 1311 from the lower side of each retaining plate 1311 .

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, and a mechanical contact sensor, respectively. In addition, the types, number, and installation positions of the first to fourth sensors 171 to 174 are not particularly limited as long as their functions can be exhibited. In addition, the detection unit 17 may include a fifth sensor for detecting the number of discharges 100 accommodated in the stocker 111 . The fifth sensor may be configured to detect the number of discharges 100 through the notch portion 112A of the stocker 111 body portion 112 . In addition, the fifth sensor may detect, for example, whether the number of discharges 100 accommodated in the stocker 111 is greater than or equal to a predetermined number or less than a predetermined number. Accordingly, replenishment (replacement) of the exhaust 100 is facilitated. The installation position or number of the fifth sensor may be adjusted according to the position of the notch portion 112A.

(pedestal part)

The pedestal unit 18 includes the aforementioned receiving unit 11 , the first operating unit 12 , the second operating unit 13 , the extrusion mechanism 14 , the discharge guide unit 15 , the imaging unit 16 , and the detection unit ( 17) and a function of supporting the pedestal portion 18 . Further, the pedestal portion 18 may have a function of housing the first motor 122 , the second motor 134 , the storage unit 7 of the game device 1 , and the like. The pedestal part 18 may have any shape and structure as long as it can exhibit such a function.

B. How the ejection mechanism works

Next, an operation method of the discharge mechanism according to the present invention will be described. Fig. 14 is a flowchart showing a method for disposing the discharge of the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 15 is a flowchart showing processing of the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. 16 is a flowchart illustrating a method for replenishing the discharge of the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 17 is a plan view schematically showing the extruding section, the receiving section, and the discharge candidate holding section provided in the discharging mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 18 is a plan view schematically showing an extruding section, an accommodating section, a discharge candidate holding section, and a discharge path provided in the discharging mechanism installed in the game device according to the first embodiment of the present invention. Meanwhile, in FIGS. 17 and 18 , some members (such as the discharge material 100 ) are omitted for convenience of description.

(1) How to place the discharge

An example of a method of arranging the effluent in a state in which the effluent 100 is not disposed at all in the emission candidate holding unit 131 (initial state) will be described with reference to Tables 1, 4, 14 and 17 . In this example, the plurality of discharges 100 accommodated in the first to tenth stockers 111 of the accommodating portion 11 are respectively disposed on the first to 50th holding plates 1311 of the candidate discharge holding portion 131 . Further, as described above, the storage unit 7 may or may not store the stocker information and the holding plate ratio information. However, in the following description, the case where the storage unit 7 stores these information will be described.

First, start disposing the discharge 100 in the initial state (S100). "S" means step. At this time, the acquisition means 81 acquires specific stocker information (for example, stocker information described in Table 1) from the stocker 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 extrusion unit 145 (S101). For example, the detection unit 17 detects the position information (index information) of the stocker 111 serving as a reference by the first sensor 171 , and the stocker 111 serving as the reference 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 extrusion unit 145 are detected in order. Thereby, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the positional information of the 1st - 10th stocker 111 and the 2nd extrusion part (a pair of extrusion parts) 145. In addition, the method of detecting position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 is not limited thereto. Further, the detected positional information is stored in the storage unit 7 .

Similarly, the detection part 17 detects the positional information of the 1st - 50th holding plate 1311 (S102). For example, the detection unit 17 detects positional information (index information) of the holding plate 1311 serving as a reference by the third sensor 173 . Then, the detection part 17 detects the positional information (position with respect to an index) of each holding plate 1311 sequentially from the holding plate 1311 used as a reference|standard by the 4th sensor 174. Thereby, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the positional information of the 1st - 50th holding plate 1311. As shown in FIG. The method of detecting the position information of each holding plate 1311 is not limited thereto. Further, the detected positional information is stored in the storage unit 7 .

In this way, the detection part 17 detects the positional information of each stocker 111 and the 2nd extruding part 145, and the positional information of each holding plate 1311. Then, the operation control means 85 sends the memory discharge 100 and the rare discharge to the first to 50th holding plates 1311 based on the retention plate ratio information (for example, the ratio described in Table 4 above). Place (100) or normal discharge (100).

To this end, first, the operation control means 85 extrudes the memory discharge 100 from the memory discharge stocker (eg, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) (S103). Accordingly, the memory discharge 100 is disposed on the predetermined retaining plate 1311 (eg, the first retaining 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, respectively. Thereby, the predetermined stocker 111 (for example, the 1st stocker 111 of Table 1) and the predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the 1st holding plate 1311 of Table 4) are each 1st extruded part. It is arrange|positioned so that it may 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 in the first stocker 111 adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a, and the first holding adjacent to the first stocker 111 The longitudinal directions of the plates 1311 coincide with each other. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the members adjacent to each other through the first stocker 111 may coincide. That is, the longitudinal direction of each of the plate-shaped member 144a, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the first stocker 111, and the first holding plate 1311 can be matched.

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 at which the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharge 100 accommodated in the first stocker 111 . In addition, the first holding plate 1311 is in a state of being moved to a position that can accommodate the exhaust 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 pushed toward the first stocker 111 . As a result, the memory waste 100 accommodated in the lowermost portion 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, a 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 “a holding plate arrangement method”. . According to the arrangement method for holding plates, the predetermined stocker 111 and the predetermined holding plate 1311 respectively correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a (or the plate-shaped member 144b) of the first extruded portion 144 . And the discharge 100 accommodated in the lowermost part of the predetermined stocker 111 is sent to the predetermined holding plate 1311 . In addition, it is possible to match (match) the longitudinal directions of the members adjacent to each other through the predetermined stocker 111 . That is, the longitudinal direction of each of the plate-shaped member 144a or plate-shaped member 144b of the first extrusion portion 144, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the predetermined stocker 111, and the predetermined holding plate 1311 corresponds ( can be matched). Moreover, when performing the arrangement method for holding plates, the operation control means 85 may control the operation of either one of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 after controlling the operation of the other. 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 arrangement method for the holding plate, the discharge 100 for the memory is placed. 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 part 16 takes the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the discharge|emission 100 for memory arrange|positioned on the 1st holding plate 1311. Thereby, the acquisition means 81 acquires the information (hereinafter referred to as "retention plate information") that the memory discharge 100 is disposed on the first holding plate 1311 (S104).

Further, the game processing means 82 confirms, based on the already acquired holding plate information, whether there are a predetermined number (five sheets in Table 4) of the memory waste 100 in the emission candidate holding unit 131 (S105) . If the emission candidate holding unit 131 does not contain the predetermined number of discharges 100 for memory, the process returns to step 103 and steps 103 to 105 are repeated.

On the other hand, if there is a predetermined number of discharges 100 for the memory in the emission candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 106 . That is, in this example, when the memory discharge 100 is disposed in 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 100 from the rare discharge stocker (for example, the third stocker 111 in Table 1) by the above-described arrangement method for the holding plate (S106). Thereby, this rare discharge 100 is arrange|positioned on the predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the 6th holding plate 1311 of Table 4).

Specifically, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13, respectively. Accordingly, the third stocker 111 and the sixth holding plate 1311 in which the rare discharge 100 is accommodated are arranged to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a, respectively. 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 at which the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharge 100 accommodated in the third stocker 111 . In addition, the sixth retaining plate 1311 is in a state of being moved to a position for receiving the exhaust 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 accommodated 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 with respect to the sixth holding plate 1311 is executed. 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 captures 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 disposed on the sixth holding plate 1311 (including character information and the like regarding the rare discharge 100) (S107).

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

On the other hand, if there is a predetermined number of rare discharges 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 109. That is, in this example, when all the rare discharges 100 are arranged on 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 100 from the normal discharge stocker (for example, the 6th stocker 111 in Table 1) by the arrangement method for the holding plate (S109). Thereby, this normal discharge 100 is arrange|positioned on the predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the 26th holding plate 1311 of Table 4).

Specifically, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13, respectively. Accordingly, the sixth stocker 111 in which the normal discharge 100 is accommodated and the 26th holding plate 1311 are respectively arranged to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a. As a result, the sixth stocker 111 moves to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a (a position in which the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharge 100 accommodated in the sixth stocker 111). do. This corresponding position indicates a position at which the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the discharge 100 accommodated in the sixth stocker 111 . In addition, the 26th holding plate 1311 is in a state of being moved to a position capable of accommodating the exhaust 100 extruded from the sixth 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 lowermost part of the sixth stocker 111 is sent to the 26th holding plate 1311 .

In this way, the arrangement of the normal discharge 100 with respect to the 26th retaining 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 . The camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 captures 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 disposed on the 26th holding plate 1311 (including character information and the like related to the normal discharge 100) (S110).

Finally, the game processing means 82 confirms whether the discharge 100 has been disposed on all the holding plates 1311 (S111). That is, the game processing means 82 checks whether there are a predetermined number (50) of the discharges 100 in the discharge candidate holding unit 131 (S111). If the discharge candidate holding unit 131 does not contain the predetermined number of discharges 100, the process returns to step 109 and steps 109 to 111 are repeated.

On the other hand, when there is a predetermined number of discharges 100 in the emission candidate holding unit 131, the discharge 100 arrangement is finished (S112). That is, in this example, the memory discharge 100 is arranged on the first to fifth holding plates 1311 , the rare discharge 100 is arranged on the sixth to 25th holding plates 1311 , and the 26th to the 25th holding plates 1311 are arranged. 50 When the normal discharge 100 is placed on the holding plate 1311 (Table 4), the discharge 100 arrangement is finished (S112).

Through the above contents, the memory discharge 100, the rare discharge 100, and the normal discharge 100 are arranged on the first to 50th holding plates 1311 in the ratios shown in Table 4 above. An example of the information (hereinafter, referred to as "retaining plate table information") of the first to 50th holding plates 1311 on which the discharge 100 is disposed is described in Table 5 below. In Table 5, the 12th to 22nd retaining plates 1311 and the 32nd to 44th retaining plates 1311 are omitted for convenience of description. The holding plate table information is acquired by the acquisition means 81 and stored in the storage unit 7 . The storage unit 7 may also store the holding plate information acquired by the acquiring means 81 whenever the discharge 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311 .

In addition, for example, the type or ratio of the discharge 100 accommodated in each stocker 111 may be predetermined. And each time the discharge 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311 , the identification information of the discharge 100 disposed 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 the stocker information, the memory discharge 100, the rare discharge 100, and the normal discharge 100 are set in a predetermined ratio (for example, the ratio shown in Table 4 above) It may be disposed in the furnace emission candidate holding unit 131 .

(2) How to deal with emissions according to game play

With reference to Table 5, FIG. 15, FIG. 17, and FIG. 18, an example of the discharge processing method according to game play is demonstrated. Specifically, after the game play starts, how the discharge 100 is discharged according to the game play result will be described. This description is an example of control until a part of the discharge 100 held in the first to 50th holding plates 1311 is discharged from the discharge port 21 through the discharge induction part 15 .

First, the game is started (S1). At this time, if the player already has the discharge 100 for the memory, the identification information of the discharge 100 for the memory is read from the reading unit 4 . Thereby, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the player information included in the read identification information. It is also possible to start the game without using the effluent 100 for memory.

Then, the game processing means 82 temporarily selects the discharge 100 to be a discharge candidate based on the player information (the number of players, character information connected to each player, etc.) (S2). Since the game device 1 of the present embodiment has a 2 in 1 configuration, a case in which a game is played by two players will be described in the following description. In the case of two players, the game processing means 82 temporarily selects the discharges 100 to be six emission candidates for each player based on the holding plate table information (for example, 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 . Further, when the game is executed by one player, the motion control means 85 may temporarily select six discharges 100 to be discharge candidates, for example.

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

Thereafter, the game is executed by the player (S3). According to 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 of the emission candidates listed in Table 6 have been selected by the operation control means 85 . Thereafter, the display unit 6 displays the selected emission candidate (S4).

From among the displayed emission candidates, each player selects and determines the emission 100 to be discharged (S5). For example, player 1 selects the rare discharge 100A (the sixth holding plate 1311), and the player 2 selects the rare discharge 100H (the 24th holding plate 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, finally, the second extruding unit 145 discharges the rare discharge 100A from the sixth holding plate 1311 and discharges 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 the player 1, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13, respectively (S6) . Accordingly, as shown in FIG. 18 , the second extruded portion 145 and the sixth retaining plate 1311 are respectively disposed to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a of the first extruded portion 144 . In this regard, in FIG. 18 , the extruded member 1453 for discharging the second extruded portion 145 and the sixth retaining plate 1311 are disposed along the longitudinal direction of the plate-like 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 is shown. the lengthwise directions coincide with each other. In other words, the longitudinal direction of the members adjacent to each other through the second extrusion portion 145 can be matched (matched). That is, the longitudinal direction of each of the plate-shaped member 144a, the second extruded portion 145, and the sixth holding plate 1311 can be matched (matched).

As a result, the second extruding part 145 is in a state of being moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position indicates a position at which the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the contact member 1452 of the second extruded portion 145 . Further, the sixth holding plate 1311 is in a state in which the rare discharge 100A disposed there is moved to a position where it is extruded by the extruding member 1453 for discharging of the second extruding part 145 .

In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14 ( S7 ), and pushes the plate-shaped member 144a toward the contact member 1452 . Thereby, the extruding member 1453 for discharge is extruded toward the sixth holding plate 1311 . As a result, 100A of the rare waste material arrange|positioned on the 6th holding plate 1311 is sent to the discharge guide part 15 by the extrusion member 1453 for discharge|emission. After that, 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 a “discharge method for holding plate”. By the discharging method for the retaining plate, the second extruded portion 145 and the predetermined retaining plate 1311 can be made to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a (or the plate-shaped member 144b) of the first extruded portion 144, respectively. have. And the discharge 100 disposed on the predetermined holding plate 1311 may be discharged. In addition, the longitudinal directions of the members adjacent to each other through the second extrusion portion 145 may correspond (match) to each other. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the second extruded portion 145, and the predetermined holding plate 1311 can be made to correspond (match) with each other. Further, when performing the discharging method for holding plates, 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. Further, 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 retaining plate can be performed more quickly.

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

Similarly, in order to discharge the rare discharge 100H selected by the player 2, by the discharging method for the holding plate, the operation control means 85 has the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13 and the extrusion mechanism 14) control each operation independently. Accordingly, the rare discharge 100H is discharged from the 24th holding plate 1311 (S6 to S8). After that, the game ends (S9). In addition, the player may select a plurality of discharges 100 according to the game content, in which case steps 6 to 8 are repeated. Also, 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 executes cooperative play, so that, for example, a game image can be displayed on the entire screen area 61 (FIG. 5). Also, if the player does not have the effluent 100 for memory, the player can request evacuation of the effluent 100 for the memory. Upon such request, the operation control means 85 can discharge the discharge 100 for the memory by the discharge method for the holding plate.

Through the above description, the rare discharge 100A is discharged from the sixth holding plate 1311 and the rare discharge 100H is discharged from the 24th holding plate 1311 . Accordingly, the sixth retaining plate 1311 and the twenty-fourth retaining plate 1311 are in a state in which the discharge 100 is not disposed (empty state). In addition, when the memory discharge 100 is discharged at the start of the game, there is further a holding plate 1311 which is in a blank state. The acquisition means 81 can acquire the information regarding this blank state, for example by imaging|photographing the holding plate 1311 in which the imaging part 16 became a blank state. In this regard, it is preferable to attach an identification code (eg, micro QR code) to the arrangement surface 1311a of each holding plate 1311 . Thereby, 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 "retaining plate blank information") can be viewed. can be managed for sure. The holding plate blank information acquired by the acquisition means 81 is stored in the storage unit 7 .

In this case, it is preferable to replenish the discharge 100 after every game. Hereinafter, a method for replenishing the discharge 100 will be described. Also, the drain 100 replenishment does not have to be executed every after the game is over. For example, replenishment of the discharge 100 may be appropriately performed according to the number of remaining discharges 100 held in the candidate discharge holding unit 131 . Specifically, when the number of discharges 100 held in the candidate discharge holding unit 131 becomes less than half (25 or less), replenishment of the discharges 100 may be made.

(3) How to make up for emissions

With reference to Table 1, Table 4, Table 5, and FIG. 16, an example of the discharge replenishment method is demonstrated. Replenishment of the discharge 100 is started (S201). First, the game processing means 82 checks whether or not the memory discharge 100 has been discharged based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate blank information (S202).

If the effluent 100 for the memory has been evacuated, processing proceeds to step 203 . And the operation control means 85 executes the arrangement|positioning method for holding plates. Accordingly, the first extruding unit 144 extrudes a new memory discharge 100 from the memory discharge stocker (eg, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) (S203). As a result, this memory discharge 100 is placed on the empty retaining plate 1311 (for example, the first retaining plate 1311).

In this way, a new discharge 100 for memory is disposed on the first retaining plate 1311 . Thereafter, 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 . Then, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 captures the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new memory discharge 100 disposed on the first holding plate 1311 . Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires the retention plate information indicating that the new memory discharge 100 is disposed on the first retention plate 1311 (S204).

In addition, the game processing means 82 determines whether a predetermined number (five in Table 4) of the memory waste 100 is arranged in the emission candidate holding unit 131 based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate blank information. is confirmed (S205). If the predetermined number of discharges 100 for memory are not placed in the emission candidate holding unit 131, the process returns to step 203 and steps 203 to 205 are repeated.

On the other hand, if a predetermined number of the discharge materials 100 for memory are arranged in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 206. As shown in FIG. It also returns to step 202 and the process proceeds to step 206 even if the effluent 100 for the memory has not been discharged. Here, the game processing means 82 checks whether or not the rare discharge 100 has been discharged based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate blank information (S206).

If the rare discharge 100 has not been discharged, the process proceeds to step 207 . Here, the operation control means 85 executes the arrangement method for holding plates. Accordingly, the first extrusion unit 144 extrudes a new normal discharge 100 from the normal discharge stocker (eg, the sixth stocker 111 in Table 1) (S207). And this normal discharge 100 is arrange|positioned on the holding plate 1311 (for example, the 26th holding plate 1311) of a blank state.

In this way, the new normal discharge 100 is disposed on the 26th holding plate 1311 . Thereafter, 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 . In addition, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 captures 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 retention plate information indicating that the new normal discharge 100 is disposed on the 26th retention plate 1311 (S209).

Returning to step 206 , if the rare discharge 100 has been discharged, the process proceeds to step 208 . Here, the operation control means 85 extrudes the new rare discharge 100 from the rare discharge stocker (for example, the third stocker 111 in Table 1) by the arrangement method for the holding plate (S208). And this rare discharge 100 is arrange|positioned on the holding plate 1311 (for example, the 23rd holding plate 1311) of a blank state.

In this way, the new rare discharge 100 is disposed on the 23rd holding plate 1311 . Thereafter, 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 . Also, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 captures identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new rare discharge 100 disposed on the twenty-third holding plate 1311 . Accordingly, the acquisition means 81 acquires retention plate information indicating that the new rare discharge 100 is disposed on the 23rd retention plate 1311 (S209).

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

On the other hand, when a predetermined number of rare discharges 100 are arranged in the discharge candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 211. Here, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the discharge 100 is disposed on all the holding plates 1311 based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate blank information (S211).

If the discharge 100 has not been placed on all of the retaining plates 1311, the process returns to step 207. On the other hand, when the discharge 100 is disposed on all the holding plates 1311, the replenishment is finished (S212).

In addition, when replenishing the discharge 100 to the holding plate 1311 from which the rare discharge 100 is discharged, the normal discharge 100 may be supplemented instead of the rare discharge 100 . In this regard, it is preferable to discharge the rare discharge 100 . Accordingly, a certain number of rare discharges 100 can be disposed on the plurality of holding plates 1311 , that is, the candidate discharge holding units 131 . In other words, it is possible to control the proportion of the types of emissions 100 disposed in the emission candidate holding portion 131 . As a result, it is possible to efficiently discharge the discharge 100 according to the game result.

On the other hand, the conventional game device does not control the types of the plurality of discharges 100 to be emission candidates. Therefore, there was a case where it was difficult to discharge the discharge 100 according to the game result. For example, even if the rare discharge 100 is attempted to be discharged according to the game result, the rare discharge 100 is not included in the plurality of discharges 100 to be discharge candidates in some cases.

As described above, the above-described processing method can be created as a program executed in a computer. Such a program is realized through a central processing unit (CPU), a microprocessor (GPU), a graphic processing unit (GPU), a random access memory (RAM), a read only memory (ROM), and the like.

«Second embodiment»

Next, a 2nd embodiment of the discharge mechanism of this invention is described based on an accompanying drawing.

19 is a plan view schematically showing an accommodating portion and a candidate discharge holding portion provided in the discharge mechanism according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, although 2nd Embodiment is demonstrated, it demonstrates centering around the difference from 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate|omitted about the same thing. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the structure similar to 1st Embodiment mentioned above.

The discharge mechanism 10A of this embodiment differs from the discharge mechanism 10 of the said 1st 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 part 1133A includes a first slider member 1133b having a width approximately equal to that of the discharge 100 , and a second slider member 1133b built into the bottom plate part 1133 , which is narrower in 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 return immediately to its original position after sliding. Accordingly, the discharge 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133 may be sequentially discharged to the discharge candidate holding portion 131 .

Also, the second slider member 1133c is slidable separately from the first slider member 1133b. In addition, the second slider member 1133c is configured to slide toward the discharge candidate holding portion 131 and return immediately to the original position after sliding. The second slider member 1133c is built into the bottom plate part 1133 so that the discharge 100 in contact with the bottom plate part 1133 is slidable while being held by the stocker 111 . Accordingly, when the second slider member 1133c slides, the discharge 100 disposed on the holding plate 1311 is extruded by the second slider member 1133c and sent to the discharge guide portion 15 .

Thus, 10A of discharge mechanism of this embodiment has the effect similar to the effect which the discharge mechanism 10 of 1st Embodiment has. In other words, the accommodating part 11 has the same function as the function of the extrusion mechanism 14 of 1st Embodiment. Moreover, even if the accommodating part 11 and the discharge candidate holding|maintenance part 131 are equipped with the function similar to the function of the 1st extrusion part 144 and the 2nd extrusion part 145 of the extrusion mechanism 14 of 1st Embodiment, respectively, do.

Since the discharge mechanism 10A of this embodiment does not have the extrusion mechanism 14, the mechanism itself can be downsized. Thereby, the cost required for the apparatus can be reduced. Also, the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13 operate, so that the arrangement method for the retaining plate and the discharge method for the retaining plate can be executed. Thereby, it is possible to efficiently discharge the discharge according to the game result.

«Third embodiment»

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

Hereinafter, although 3rd Embodiment is demonstrated, it demonstrates centering around the difference from 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and the description is abbreviate|omitted about the same thing. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the structure similar to 1st Embodiment mentioned above, and it demonstrates.

The discharge mechanism 10B of this embodiment is comprised so that the 1st operation part 12, the 2nd operation part 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 may operate linearly. And each member is comprised according to this structure. For example, the mounting unit 121 of the first operating unit 12 and the arrangement unit 132 of the second operating unit 13 have an elongated shape. The discharge mechanism 10B of this embodiment differs from the discharge mechanism 10 of the said 1st Embodiment in this point. In particular, the plurality of stockers 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 are linearly aligned and installed in the first operation unit 12 . In addition, the second operation unit 13 is installed along one side of the first operation unit 12 . In addition, a first extrusion unit 144 is installed on the other side of the first operation unit 12 . Accordingly, the first extruded portion 144 becomes operable (movable in parallel) adjacent to the first operating portion 12 and the second extruded portion 145 . This discharge mechanism 10B of this embodiment also has the same effect as the effect which the discharge mechanism 10 of 1st Embodiment has.

«Fourth embodiment»

Next, a fourth embodiment of the discharging mechanism of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

20 is a perspective view showing a discharging mechanism according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention. Fig. 21 is a partially exploded perspective view showing a discharging mechanism according to a fourth embodiment of the present invention; 22 is a partially exploded perspective view showing a stocker of an accommodation unit provided in the discharge mechanism according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. 23 is a partially exploded perspective view of the first operation unit, the receiving unit, and the extrusion mechanism provided in the discharging mechanism according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, although 4th Embodiment is demonstrated, the difference from 1st Embodiment mentioned above is mainly demonstrated, and the description is abbreviate|omitted about the same thing. In addition, the same code|symbol is attached|subjected to the same structure as 1st Embodiment mentioned above.

The discharge mechanism 10C of this embodiment differs from the discharge mechanism 10 of 1st Embodiment mainly in the structure of the accommodation part 11'. Moreover, 10 C of discharge mechanisms of this embodiment differ from the discharge mechanism 10 of 1st Embodiment in that the discharge guide part 15 has the cover part 153 above the discharge candidate holding|maintenance part 131. As shown in FIG. Moreover, 10 C of discharge mechanisms of this embodiment differ from the discharge mechanism 10 of the said 1st Embodiment in the point provided with the operation button 19 provided in the pedestal part 18. As shown in FIG. Further, the discharging mechanism 10C of the present embodiment is the first embodiment in that the detection unit 17 is provided with a fifth sensor 175 for detecting information on the number of sheets of the discharging product 100 accommodated in the stocker 111'. It is different from the discharge mechanism 10 of Hereinafter, these other points will be described in detail.

As shown in FIGS. 20, 21 and 23 , a plurality of stockers 111 ′ of the receiving unit 11 ′, that is, the first to tenth stockers 111 ′, respectively, are of the first operation unit 12 . It is installed by forming an angle at a certain angle (eg, 45° to 80°) with respect to the upper surface of the mounting unit 121 . The angle is in a state in which the stocker 111 ′ is installed in the first operation unit 12 , the upper surface of the mounting unit 121 and the side surface of the stocker 111 ′ (the body portion 112 ′) opposite to the upper surface. means the angle formed by The stocker 111 ′ installed in this way includes a body portion 112 ′, a foot portion 113 ′, and a clog-shaped portion 114 .

The 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 unit 12 , the notch 112A is provided on the outer side (the discharge candidate holding unit 131 side) of the main body 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 operation unit 12 , the number of discharges 100 accommodated in each stocker 111 ′ from the outside of the receiving unit 11 ′ is increased. can be checked easily. For example, by providing a fifth sensor 175, which will be described later, on the outer peripheral side of the accommodating part 11', information on the number of sheets of the discharge 100 accommodated in each stocker 111' can be detected.

Further, 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 portion of the rear surface 1131a'. On the other hand, the bottom plate part 1133' of the present embodiment is formed to constitute the bottom surface of the foot part 113' along a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction of the stocker 111' without such an inclination (see FIG. 22). Accordingly, the long skirt portion 1132a and the short skirt portion 1132a' of the edge-shaped portion 1132 are omitted. In addition, between the edge-shaped portion 1132 and the bottom plate portion 1133', the first extrusion portion 144 is inserted through the gap 113B, and the discharge 100 extruded by the first extrusion portion 144 is inserted A passable gap 113C is formed.

A clog-shaped part 114 is connected to the lower part of the foot part 113'. The clog-shaped part 114 holds the stocker 111' (the body part 112' and the foot part 113') at a predetermined angle (for example, 45° to 80°). Through this configuration, in a state in which the stocker 111' is installed in the first operation unit 12, the bottom plate part 1133' is rotated at a predetermined inclination angle ( For example, an angle of 10° to 45°) can be given.

Since the discharge mechanism 10C of this embodiment also has a corresponding inclination structure among several members, it has the effect similar to the effect which the discharge mechanism 10 of 1st Embodiment has. Further, according to the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the force applied to the bottom plate portion 1133' (and the discharge 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133') due to the weight of the discharge 100 itself is reduced. Therefore, the bottom plate part 1133' in the state supporting the discharge 100 is inclined at a predetermined angle (for example, 10° to 45°) with respect to the upper surface of the mounting part 121 of the first operation part 12 and In addition, the discharge 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 so as to cover the upper side and the outer peripheral side of the discharge candidate holding portion 131 . Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the discharge 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 of the discharge candidate holding unit 131 to the discharge guide unit 15 from escaping to a portion other than the discharge path 152 .

Moreover, 10 C of discharge mechanisms of this embodiment are equipped with the operation button 19 provided in the pedestal part 18. As shown in FIG. The operation button 19 is a button for automatically rotating the first operation unit 12 when replenishing the discharge 100 to the receiving unit 11'. The operation button 19 has a first operation button 19a, a second operation button 19b, and a third operation button 19c so as to be able to assign a function for exerting such a function. For example, a function of rotating the first operation unit 12 clockwise may be assigned to the first operation button 19a. In addition, a function of rotating the first operation unit 12 in a counterclockwise direction may be assigned to the second operation button 19b. In addition, the lock function/unlock function of the first operation button 19a and the second operation button 19b may be assigned to the third operation button 19c. When the operation button 19 is operated (pushed), the first operation unit 12 can be automatically rotated. Accordingly, it becomes easier to replenish the discharge 100 to the stocker 111 ′ on the inside of the case 2 . In addition, the structure of the operation button 19 is not limited to the structure mentioned above, For example, the number of buttons may be one.

In addition, in the discharge mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the detection unit 17 includes a fifth sensor 175 for detecting information on the number of sheets of the discharge product 100 accommodated in the stocker 111 . The fifth sensor 175 is configured to detect the number of sheets information of the discharge 100 through the notch portion 112A of the body portion 112' of the stocker 111'. Accordingly, the fifth sensor 175 may detect whether the number of discharges 100 accommodated in the stocker 111 is greater than or equal to a predetermined number or less than a predetermined number. Accordingly, the timing of replenishment (replacement) of the discharge 100 can be easily detected. In the present embodiment, the fifth sensor 175 is attached to the gate portion 151, but the installation position or number is not limited thereto.

As mentioned above, although the game device and discharge mechanism of this invention were demonstrated based on preferable embodiment, this invention is not limited to this. The configuration of each part can be modified or replaced with any configuration having the same function. In addition, any other means or components may be added to the present invention. Moreover, this invention can also combine arbitrary 2 or more structures (features) of each said embodiment.

For example, you may be comprised so that the bottom plate part of a accommodating part may be biased elastically by a spring member. In this case, the bottom plate part may not be inclined at a predetermined angle depending on the number of discharges accommodated in the stocker of the accommodating part. For this reason, a weight member can be installed on the top of the stocker. In addition, the structure of each part is not specifically limited as long as the function can be exhibited appropriately. For example, each part can be formed of a hard resin material, a metal material, a ceramic material, or the like. In addition, each motor may be defined as a driving unit separately from the operating unit.

The discharge mechanism of the present invention is configured to discharge the discharge related to the game, the receiving portion for receiving the discharge; a first operation unit provided with a receiving unit and configured to be operable; and a second operating portion configured to be operable and retain the discharge discharged from the receptacle, wherein the first operating portion operates relative to the second operating portion. For this reason, it is possible to provide a discharging mechanism capable of efficiently discharging waste in accordance with a game result, and a game device having such a discharging mechanism. Accordingly, the present invention has industrial applicability.
