FIG. 5 shows an example of a configuration of a mechanism portion for discharging an article stored in a housing portion of the article discharge portion. Here, the mechanism portion of the article discharge portion 22 will be described as an example, but the mechanism portion of the article discharge portion 23 and the mechanism portion of the article vending portions 24, 25 also have substantially the same structure. to make. The article 2 is stored in the accommodating portion 31 of the article discharge portion 22 in a state of being stored in the towed egg 70 made of synthetic resin, but the form thereof is arbitrary.

The turntable 60 is rotatably provided below the accommodating portion 31 of the article discharge portion 22, and rotates in conjunction with the rotation operation of the operation portion 32. Further, in the turntable 60, a plurality of article holding portions 63 are arranged side by side in the circumferential direction, and the plurality of article holding portions 63 hold the twisted eggs 70 in which the articles 2 are housed.

Each of the plurality of article holding portions 63 is formed in a cylindrical shape that is opened up and down, and when the turntable 60 is rotated, one of the article holding portions 63 is aligned with the discharge hole 67. The twisted egg 70 is formed by rolling or sliding on the bottom surface of the accommodating portion 31 in a state where the article holding portion 63 does not coincide with the discharge hole 67, but the self-discharging hole is formed when the article holding portion 63 coincides with the discharge hole 67. 67 falls into the discharge port 33.

A peripheral wall 65 is formed on the outer circumference of the turntable 60. The article holding portion 63 has a substantially cylindrical shape, and the height of the article holding portion 63 is equal to the height of the peripheral wall 65. A notch 66 that opens the article holding portion 63 to the side is provided on the peripheral wall 65.

The lock arm 71 is disposed near the outer circumference of the turntable 60 so as to be rotatable via the support shaft 72. The front end portion 73 of the lock arm 71 is bent in an L shape, and can be advanced (returned, retracted) from the side via the notch 66 with respect to the article holding portion 63 that holds the twisted egg 70 that is discharged next time. Further, a tension coil spring 75 is provided in the lock arm 71. The tension coil spring 75 stretches the end portion opposite to the distal end portion 73 via the support shaft 72, and always presses the lock arm 71 in the direction in which the distal end portion 73 enters the article holding portion 63.

That is, the lock arm 71 is pressed against the side wall of the twisted egg 70 or the peripheral wall 65 of the turntable 60, and can be retracted from the article holding portion 63 against the elasticity of the tension coil spring 75. Thus, the lock arm 71 does not prevent the turntable 60 from rotating, but allows the turntable 60 to rotate. A cylindrical projection 76 that protrudes upward is formed at the base end of the lock arm 71.

A coupling mechanism 80 is provided between the lock arm 71 and the stock-out display unit 100 to interlock the operation of the stock-out display unit 100 with the lock arm 71. The coupling mechanism 80 includes the first member 81 and the second member 86. And the third member 88.

The first member 81 is provided at a front portion of the accommodating portion 31 so as to be rotatable via the support shaft 82. The first member 81 has long holes 83a and 83b that engage with the projections 76 of the lock arm 71, a rod 84, and a reflection plate 85. The long holes 83a and 83b are formed by an arm rotation long hole 83a that allows the movement of the projection 76, and a display tribe lower long hole 83b that is connected to the end of the arm rotation long hole 83a. The reflecting plate 85 reflects the infrared rays radiated from the infrared ray sensor 87. The detecting unit 112 for detecting the presence or absence of an article in the article discharge unit 22 includes the infrared sensor 87, and the non-twisted egg 70 is detected by always emitting infrared rays from the infrared sensor 87 and detecting the reflected light.

When the front end portion 73 of the lock arm 71 elastically contacts the outer side of the twisted egg 70 or the outer circumference of the turntable 60 and is to be retracted from the article holding portion 63, the first member 81 allows the projection 76 to move in the arm rotation long hole 83a, and The protrusion 76 prevents the rotation about the support shaft 82. On the other hand, when the front end portion 73 of the lock arm 71 penetrates into the article holding portion 63 without the twisted egg 70, the projection 76 moves in the long hole 83b under the display tribe, thereby allowing the support shaft 82 of the first member 81. The center of the rotation.

The second member 86 is a rod-shaped member that extends in the front-rear direction. One end of the second member 86 is coupled to the front end of the rod 84 of the first member 81. The second member 86 is movable in the front-rear direction. When the protrusion 76 of the lock arm 71 prevents the first member 81 from being rotated, the second member 86 is located at the rearmost position and cannot move from the position, but when the permission is allowed When the member 81 is rotated, it can move forward.

The third member 88 is a rod-shaped member having a rectangular cross section extending in the left-right direction. The left and right ends of the third member 88 are supported by the accommodating portion 31 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction via the bearing 91. A swinging portion 92 is attached to one end of the third member 88. The front end portion of the swing portion 92 (the end portion opposite to the one end attached to the third member 88) is slidably fitted into the long hole (not shown) of the second member 86. The tension coil spring 93 assists the third member 88 to rotate rearward.

The front side inner wall of the long hole (not shown) of the second member 86 abuts against the front end portion of the swing portion 92, whereby when the second member 86 is prevented from moving at the rearmost position, the swing portion 92 is The front end portion is moved rearward by being stretched by the second member 86, and is prevented from moving forward. Therefore, when the second member 86 is prevented from moving at the rearmost position, the third member 88 attached to the swing portion 92 is also rotated rearward about the bearing 91, and is prevented from being rotated forward.

On the other hand, when the second member 86 is allowed to move forward, the front end portion of the swing portion 92 can also move forward, whereby the third member 88 can also be rotated forward. At this time, when the third member 88 is rotated forward due to the weight of the out-of-stock display unit 100, the front end portion of the swing portion 92 also moves forward. Further, since the front end portion of the swing portion 92 abuts against the long hole (not shown) of the second member 86, the second member 86 is moved forward by the swing portion 92, and the first member 81 is also desired. Rotate. Further, since the projection 76 of the lock arm 71 is located in the display tribe lower long hole 83b, the first member 81 is not prevented from being rotated, and as a result, the first member 81 is rotated, and the front end of the second member 86 and the swing portion 92 are both forward. Moving, the third member 88 is rotated forward.

The stock-out display unit 100 is fixed to the other end of the third member 88, and is provided with a display surface 101 for displaying a stock-out. The stock-out portion 100 always exerts a force to rotate forward and downward due to its own weight. However, when the twisted egg 70 is present in the article holding portion 63, the rotation of the first member 81 is prevented, so that the second member 86 and the swing The portion 92 is prevented from moving forward in the rearmost position. Thereby, the third member 88 is also prevented from being rotated forward, and therefore the stock-out display unit 100 is also prevented from rotating forward and downward.

In other words, in a state in which the arm rotation long hole 83a and the projection 76 are engaged with each other, the first member 81, the second member 86, and the third member 88 are restrained, and therefore the rotation of the shortage display unit 100 is blocked. . On the other hand, when the front end portion 73 of the lock arm 71 penetrates into the article holding portion 63, the projection 76 moves to the display lower long hole 83b, and the first member 81 is allowed to rotate, so the second member 86 is allowed to be the first The member 81 is restrained, and the swinging portion 92 and the third member 88 are also released from the constraint of the second member 86. Therefore, the stock-out display portion 100 can also be rotated forward and downward by its own weight.

FIG. 6 shows an operation of the mechanism unit when the player performs a rotation operation on the operation unit 32.

When the player performs a rotation operation on the operation portion 32, the turntable 60 rotates to make the twisted egg 70 Move to the discharge hole 67. At this time, the front end portion 73 of the lock arm 71 slightly retreats from the article holding portion 63 in the direction indicated by the arrow (2), but continues to allow the turntable 60 to rotate while elastically contacting the peripheral wall 65 of the turntable 60. At the same time, the projection 76 of the lock arm 71 moves in the direction indicated by the arrow (3). However, since the long hole 83a is moved along the arm, the first member 81 does not rotate, and the connection mechanism 80 is not affected. Therefore, the stock-out display unit 100 is rotated rearward and upward, and the display surface 101 is also retracted into the storage unit 31.

Fig. 7 shows the operation of the mechanism portion when the article in standby is sequentially ejected and the last article has moved to the discharge hole.

When the stalled egg 70 is sequentially ejected, and the last twisted egg 70 is moved to the discharge hole 67, the front end portion 73 of the lock arm 71 penetrates into the article holding portion 63 by the elastic force of the tension coil spring 93 and is engaged in the gap. Edge of 66 (arrow (4)). That is, the lock arm 71 is also a locking portion for causing the turntable 60 to be engaged and stopped to rotate in accordance with the presence or absence of the twisted egg 70. Thus, the turntable 60 cannot be rotated.

The projection 76 is moved to the display lower long hole 83b as the lock arm 71 is rotated, so that the first member 81 can be rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow (5). Thereby, the connection mechanism 80 and the stock-out display unit 100 are released from the restraint of the lock arm 71. As a result, the stock-out display unit 100 is rotated in the direction indicated by the arrow (6) by its own weight, and the link mechanism 80 is also driven by the operation of the stock-out display unit 100.

Then, as shown in FIG. 8, the front portion of the display surface 101 of the stock-out display unit 100 protrudes from the insertion opening 31A of the accommodating portion 31 and faces the front surface of the apparatus. At this time, since the third member 88 is also rotated, the tension coil spring 93 is elongated. Thereby, the rotation speed of the third member 88 is suppressed, and therefore the rotation of the stock-out display unit 100 is also braked. By the rotational braking of the stock-out display unit 100, the shortage display unit 100 is brought into contact with the storage unit 31 or the like.

At this time, the reflecting plate 85 is moved in such a manner as to block the infrared rays radiated from the infrared ray sensor 87. The infrared rays emitted from the infrared ray sensor 87 are reflected by the reflection plate 85, and the reflected light thereof is received by the infrared ray sensor 87. Thereby, the detecting unit 112 detects that there is no twisted egg 70, that is, no article 2.

When the lock accommodating portion 31 is replenished with the twisted egg 70, the lock arm 71 is returned to the retracted position (the position of the lock arm 71 shown in FIG. 5), and the twisted egg 70 is placed in the article holding portion 63. By returning the lock arm 71 to the retracted position, the third member 88 is rotated by the first member 81 and the second member 86, and the stock-out display unit 100 is pulled up. Thereby, the stock-out display unit 100 retreats from the front side of the article discharge unit 22 and returns to the inside of the accommodating portion 31.

FIG. 9 is a flowchart for explaining the operation of the game processing executed in the article discharge device 1.

The control unit 131 causes the article 2 to be loaded into the reading unit 51 by an appropriate method such as displaying an image on the display unit 21, and waits for the article 2 to be loaded into the reading unit 51, that is, waits for the lottery to be entered (step S1).

The control unit 131 reads the QR code of the tag 11 of the article 2 loaded in the reading unit 51 by the player (step S2).

The control unit 131 refers to the storage unit 132, checks whether or not the identification information included in the read QR code is stored (step S3), and determines whether or not it is possible to enter the lottery using the read QR code based on the collation result. Whether the lottery is executed (step S4). Moreover, the control unit 131 determines whether or not the lottery can be executed based on the presence or absence of the first precious item in the article discharge unit 22 and the presence or absence of the second precious item. The case where it is determined whether or not the lottery can be executed based on the presence or absence of the articles in the article discharge units 22 and 23 will be described below.

When the control unit 131 determines that the identification information included in the read QR code is already stored in the storage unit 132, and cannot perform the entry using the read QR code (step S4: NO), The entry is rejected, and the data is revoked (step S17).

When the control unit 131 determines that the same information as the identification information included in the read QR code is not stored in the storage unit 132, it can enter the case where the lottery is performed using the read QR code (step S4: yes) (YES)), the entry is accepted, and the identification information included in the read QR code is stored in the storage unit 132 (step S5).

The control unit 131 uses an appropriate method such as displaying an image on the display unit 21 to promote the use for drawing. The tagged item 2 is loaded into the reading unit 51, and the player reads the QR code of the tag 11 of the article 2 loaded in the reading unit 51 (step S6). Furthermore, in the present embodiment, one or a plurality of (up to three) QR codes of the article 2 can be read, and unlike the entry lottery, the read QR code can also be read. Further, the lottery probability varies depending on the amount of the QR code read and the combination of the materials. Here, based on the QR code of the article 2, the information of the article 2 is memorized (registered) one by one in correspondence with the plurality of holding portions 53, and the corresponding articles 2 are respectively loaded into the holding portion 53. In the present embodiment, the article 2 registered in association with each holding unit 53 is appropriately determined every time the game is executed. Therefore, the player cannot know which item is registered in which holding unit. However, the article discharge device 1 of the present embodiment has the holding portion 53 into which the registered article 2 can be loaded. Therefore, during the execution of the game, the article can be registered in correspondence with each of the holding portions 53 (operation portion) without mistake. In the case of item 2, operate.

The control unit 131 determines whether or not the operation input from the player who has completed reading the QR code is accepted (step S7), and when it is determined that the QR code has not been read (step S7: NO), the reading process is repeated. When the control unit 131 determines that the QR code has been read (step S7: YES), the control unit 131 determines the lottery probability based on the number of pieces of data of the read QR code or the combination of the data (step S8).

The control unit 131 executes the lottery based on the determined lottery probability (step S9). The control unit 131 determines whether or not the lottery result is the selected first precious item (step S10), and when it is determined that the first precious item is selected (step S10: YES), the performance processing when the first precious item is selected is executed ( In step S11), the locking operation of the lock portion 111 of the article discharge unit 22 is released (step S12). As the performance processing, for example, content for playing video or sound can be exemplified.

When the result of the lottery is not the first precious item (step S10: NO), the control unit 131 selects the second precious item (step S13: YES), and executes the performance when the second precious item is selected (step S14). The lock operation of the lock portion 121 of the article discharge portion 23 is released (step S15).

Further, when the control unit 131 determines that the lottery result is the unsuccessful selection (step S13: No), the performance processing at the time of the selection is performed (step S16). Further, in the present embodiment, during the execution of the performance processing, the holding unit 53 as the operation unit is pressed, and the performance processing corresponding to the stored item 2 is performed. In the present embodiment, the lottery result is not affected by pressing the holding portion. However, in the performance process of the lottery, for example, the player can participate in the lottery, and the interest can be further improved.

FIG. 10 is a flowchart for explaining whether or not the lottery can be executed based on the presence or absence of an article in the article discharge units 22 and 23, which is executed in the article discharge device 1.

The control unit 131 determines whether or not the first precious item is present in the article discharge unit 22 based on the detection result of the detecting unit 112 (first detecting unit) (step S31). As described above, when the infrared ray sensor 87 of the detecting unit 112 always emits infrared rays and there is no first precious article, the infrared sensor 87 detects the reflection from the position that has moved to the covering infrared ray sensor 87. The reflected light of the plate 85.

When the detection unit 112 detects the infrared rays, that is, when the first precious item is not present (step S31: YES), the control unit 131 displays "the first precious item is out of stock" on the display unit 21 (step S32).

Then, based on the detection result of the detecting unit 122 (second detecting unit), the control unit 131 determines whether or not the second precious item is present in the article discharging unit 23 (step S33). As described above, when the infrared ray sensor 87 of the detecting unit 122 always emits infrared rays and there is no second precious article, the infrared sensor 87 detects the reflection from the position moved to the covering infrared ray sensor 87. The reflected light of the plate 85.

When the detection unit 122 detects the infrared rays, that is, when there is no second precious item (step S33: YES), the control unit 131 displays "the second precious item is out of stock" on the display unit 21 (step S34).

The control unit 131 determines whether or not infrared rays are detected by both the detecting unit 112 (first detecting unit) and the detecting unit 122 (second detecting unit) (step S35), and when both the detecting unit 112 and the detecting unit 122 detect infrared rays (Step S35: YES), it is determined that the article discharge unit 22 and the article There is no article 2 in the discharge unit 23, and the operation of each unit is controlled so as not to perform the lottery (step S36).

When at least one of the detecting unit 112 (first detecting unit) and the detecting unit 122 (second detecting unit) does not detect infrared rays (step S35: No, step S33: No), the control unit 131 allows the lottery to be executed. The manner of controlling each part is controlled (step S37).

By playing the game using the material of the article 2 as described above and discharging the article based on the result of the game, the gameplay of the article discharge device 1 can be improved. Further, a plurality of items to be discharged are prepared, and it is determined whether or not the articles can be discharged depending on the types of the articles in association with the game results, whereby the gameplay of the article discharge device 1 can be further improved.
