DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electric prize winning device for a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a prize winning area for a pachinko ball (also referred to as a game ball) struck in a game board by using electric power means. The present invention relates to an electric winning device that can be used to change between a closed state and an open state.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art In an electric prize winning device of this kind which is implemented on a game board of a pachinko machine, a main body having a required outer shape and size has a door shape, a wing shape or the like constituting a prize area for a game ball. The opening and closing member has a basic structure that is opened and closed using an opening and closing drive mechanism including an electromagnetic solenoid and a linking member. One of the typical examples according to the type classification is a form in which a door plate-like opening / closing member opposed to a horizontally long winning opening in the main body is changed into a closed state and an open state. There is a large prize device also called. Therefore, in such an “attacker type”, the respective types of pachinko machines referred to in the art as “Pachinko game machines with a type 1 accessory continuous action device” and “Pachinko game machines with a type 3 starting port” The setting of the opening time of the opening / closing member is based on the premise that the special game conditions are established or the right to operate is established and the operating conditions are established during this period as the game operation adapted to each game content. A predetermined opening operation is performed within a specified range for setting the number of winning balls in the special winning opening.

[0003]

By the way, the above-mentioned "attacker type" prize apparatus is adapted to the respective game contents of the above-mentioned "first kind of pachinko machine" and "third kind of pachinko machine". Under the above-described implementation conditions, the game operation functions are restricted from being divided, so that in the configuration of the device itself, a basic portion including a main body having a required outer shape and size, a winning area and an opening / closing member, an opening / closing drive mechanism, and the like. Is common
However, in the case of "Type 1", the prize ball counting function (commonly known as 10 count switch) and the opening continuation function
(Commonly known as continuation switch).
The “special” type has only the counting function. However, in any of the winning devices according to the types, there is a problem in handling, assembling, and the like due to the restriction of the configuration of the opening and closing drive mechanism in the basic components.

That is, conventionally, "for the first kind, for the third kind"
In this type of winning device that is used separately, the opening and closing drive mechanism for the opening and closing member is configured for a vertical type mainly using an electromagnetic solenoid, a rod, a linking member, and the like,
The main body is separated from the main body. For this reason, when the entire apparatus is viewed, it is divided into two separate parts, the main body side and the opening / closing drive mechanism side, and its handling and storage are troublesome. Also, in the production of each of the "type 1 and type 3" gaming boards, while the main body is attached from the front side, the opening and closing drive mechanism is positioned and installed vertically on the back side,
The connecting member must be aligned with the operating lever of the opening / closing member of the main body, and the entire operation is troublesome and requires skill. Furthermore, since the opening / closing drive mechanism on the back side is vertically assembled to the main body on the front side, the winning device itself, particularly the opening / closing drive mechanism, is located at a different position in the limited-sized game surface of the game board. Due to restrictions on the layout of the various game components placed on the back of the game board, it has been difficult to design and configure a game board with a variety of game contents.

[0005]

And a detection switch 28 as a basic configuration. In this basic configuration, a special detection switch 30 required for generating the opening continuation condition and a lid used when the switch 30 is not required are selected and changed in accordance with the game operation function (game content). A piece 32 is detachably attached to the second through-hole on the back side of the main body 1.
A detection restricting mechanism 34 used to restrict the detection condition of 0 is detachably mounted on the other side on the back side of the main body 1.

The electric winning device according to the present embodiment will be described for each of the above-described components under the condition that it is roughly classified as a unitized component on the main body side and on the opening / closing drive mechanism side. First, the main body 1 is composed of a horizontally long front substrate 2 attached to the front of the game board P, and a box body 5 attached to the center of the back side of the front substrate 2, and is generally up and down. The size in the direction has been minimized. In the front substrate 2, a large winning opening 3 in the shape of a horizontal rectangular frame is opened at the center of the front, and a passage guide plate 4 is formed behind the lower edge of the opening 3. In the box 5, a large-diameter winning opening 3 and a passage room 6 having a size matching the passage guide plate 4 are defined therein.

[0015]

The operation of the electric prize winning apparatus of the present embodiment constructed as described above differs in the game state and the opening operation mode depending on the contents of the game on the game board of the pachinko machine to be implemented. Basically, the following state is achieved. That is, in the implementation state of the winning device in the gaming board,
When a preset opening condition is satisfied during the pachinko game, the opening operation is given to the device itself. Under this,
When the electromagnetic solenoid 23 of the opening / closing drive mechanism 21 is energized and energized for a predetermined time from an appropriate point in time, the opening / closing member 18 in the upright closed state is changed to the forward tilting open state, and presents a ball receiving plate and a large winning opening 3. (FIGS. 2, 3, and 6)
reference). Thereby, the game balls received by the opening / closing member 18 in this state enter the exit room 6 as safe balls from the special winning opening 3.

When the special detection switch 30 is worn in the second exit 9 in accordance with the operating conditions of the device itself, the ball passes through the ball detection port 31 as the subsequent exit processing of the safe ball. (The first special ball is regarded as an effective special safe ball) and the safe ball detected and counted through the ball detection port 29 of the detection switch 28. Will be issued. On the other hand, the second
If the special detection switch 30 is not worn at the exit 9 of the vehicle, that is, if it is unnecessary, all the safe balls are directed toward the detection switch 28 using the lid piece 32 set at the exit 9. After being guided, the count is detected by the switch 28 and the vehicle is discharged. When one special safe ball is detected by the special detection switch 30, the electromagnetic solenoid 36 of the detection restricting mechanism 34 is energized and energized for a predetermined time from an appropriate time based on the detection signal. The opening / closing lever 39 is pivotally moved in the closing direction, and the opening / closing piece 40 of the opening / closing lever 39 is moved to the ball detecting port 3 of the switch 30.
1 is closed, and further detection of the safe ball is stopped.

In the above-described safe ball detection disabled state, the safe balls that have entered the passage chamber 6 are guided to the detection switch 28 by the open / close piece 40 of the open / close lever 39, and are counted and detected. This state is determined when the opening / closing member 18 returns to the upright / closed state, that is, the electromagnetic solenoid 2
3 is released at a predetermined point in time between the demagnetization point 3 and the next opening operation (opening of the opening / closing member 18).
Is set to return to the original open position, and the special detection switch 30 is returned to the original detectable state again.

The electric winning device of this embodiment is
In the premise of a configuration suitable for a game state and opening operation, a typical embodiment thereof is schematically illustrated in FIG. 11 as a “Pachinko game machine with a first-class accessory continuous operation device” and in FIG. 12. In each of the gaming boards P in the “Pachinko gaming machine with a third-type starting port”, the main body is inserted and set from the front side with respect to a set opening opened at a required portion, as schematically shown in FIGS. The first embodiment is installed by being attached to the first, and predetermined operating conditions suitable for each game content are set and can be suitably implemented. Each embodiment example will be described below. However, the basic configuration and game contents of each pachinko machine are the same as those of the conventional one, and only the gaming board P is illustrated. In addition, since the electrical control technology and the like are not the gist of the present invention, the description thereof is omitted.

First, in the embodiment of the game board P shown in FIG. 11, the setting conditions relating to the prize-winning device include the operable time T seconds of the electromagnetic solenoid 23, the specified number of safe spheres (counted number), the opening operation. The detection switch 28 is used only for counting, the special detection switch 30 is used for counting detection, and the continuation condition based on the detection of the special safe ball is satisfied (see FIGS. 7 and 8). Is used as a first-class start winning opening. Under this, the game ball launched on the game board P,
By entering the variable winning opening 51 or each winning tool 10 at the center of the board, the symbol variable display device 52 performs symbol variation display and combination determination in response to the detection signal of the switch 14. When the special game state is established based on this, the opening operation is given by the winning device and the opening / closing member 18 is turned into the special winning opening 3 by the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 23.
To release.

In the meantime, the safe ball entering the exit room 6 from the special winning opening 3 is basically connected to the detection switch 2.
8 and the special detection switch 30
When one of the first balls is detected as a special safe ball (including count detection) by the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 36 of the detection restricting mechanism 34, the opening / closing lever 39 moves the opening / closing piece 4
When the value is 0, the special detection switch 30 is closed to stop the detection. Then, as a game condition of the winning device itself,
The opening operation of this time is terminated or stopped at an earlier time of the detection of the specified number of safe balls by the detection switch 28 and the time-up of the electromagnetic solenoid 23, and the opening / closing member 18
As a result, the special winning opening 3 is closed. Further, based on the detection of the special safe ball by the special detection switch 30, a continuation condition for enabling the next opening operation is established, and on this premise, the opening operation up to the set number of times can be continued. . Reference numeral 53 in FIG. 11 indicates another winning tool.

In this embodiment, the positions of the two detection switches 28 and 30 can be changed left and right. That is, as shown in FIGS. 1, 7 and 8, both switches 28, 3 having the same shape and size are used.
0, the ball detection ports 29, 31 are arranged in a horizontal direction and the ball detection ports 29, 31 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the left side in the figure is changed to the special detection switch 30 and the right side in the figure is changed to the detection switch 28. It is possible. In this case, in the detection processing of the safe spheres with the prescribed number N of winnings, for example, 右側 N or more can be counted and detected by the right detection switch 28 and で N or less by the left special detection switch 30, respectively. If the condition can be maintained, the detection regulating mechanism 34 can be removed in advance and omitted.

Next, in the embodiment of the game board P of FIG. 12, the electromagnetic solenoid 2
3 operable time T ₁ second, the number of safe prizes won n
The number of times that the opening operation can be continued is set to N times, the detection switch 28 is exclusively used for counting, and both of the prize-winning tools 10 are used as third-type starting prize holes. Then, the cover piece 32 is set in accordance with the case where the special detection switch 30 is omitted, and the detection restricting mechanism 34 is omitted (FIG. 9 shows a state in which only the holding case 35 is left attached). 9, Figure 10
reference). In the process in which the game ball hit on the game board P enters the special prize tool 54 at the center of the board, the opening operation is performed based on the operation of the special device (including the detecting means and the symbol means) 55. A right condition is generated, and during the right generation (survival), one opening operation condition is established based on another game ball entering each winning tool 10 and being detected by the switch 14.

Thus, in the winning device, the opening and closing member 18 opens the special winning opening 3 by the operation of the electromagnetic solenoid 23 in a state where the opening operation is given.
Switch that detects all safe balls that have entered the exit room 6
The count is detected at 8. Then, as the game state condition of the winning device itself, the opening operation of this time is terminated or stopped at an earlier time of the detection of the specified number of safe balls by the switch 28 and the time-up of the electromagnetic solenoid 23, and the special winning opening 3 is opened. Will be closed. Then, the game ball is set at each winning opening 10
The next opening operation condition is satisfied on the basis of the detection and the detection is made again, and the opening operation up to a set number of times can be continued every time this condition is satisfied.

In this embodiment, however, a symbol selecting device 56 and a small electric accessory 57 which is opened based on the symbol judgment of the device 56 are arranged at required other portions of the game board P. In the case where the three kinds of starting prize-winning tools 58 are arranged at different positions, both prize-winning tools 10 in the prize-winning device of the present embodiment can be used as operating prize holes for the symbol display device 56. The special detection switch 3
In the case where the wearer keeps wearing it without omitting “0”, it can be used only for counting like the detection switch 28. The detection restricting mechanism 34 may be detached in units of the holding case 35. Reference numeral 59 in FIG. 12 indicates another winning tool.

As described above, according to the electric winning device of the present embodiment, each of the first and third types of pachinko machines (game boards).
When the basic configuration including the main body 1, the opening / closing member 18, the opening / closing drive mechanism 21 and the detection switch 28 is made common, the necessary selection parts of the special detection switch 30, the cover piece 32 and the detection regulating mechanism 34 are By selecting a simple configuration change by simply attaching / detaching / exchanging, it is possible to suitably execute the game by classifying into the game state and the opening / closing operation condition of the “first-class attacker” and the “third-class attacker”. In addition, since the opening / closing drive mechanism 21 and the detection regulating mechanism 34 are basically configured in units of the respective holding cases 22 and 35 and are assembled horizontally in the front-rear direction according to the outer shape and size of the main body 1, the entire apparatus is vertically The size may be reduced, that is, the size may be reduced to a range corresponding to the vertical height of the main body 1. As a result, the device itself can be suitably worn on the limited-sized game surface of each game board without being restricted by the layout of other game components. In other words, since the winning device is vertically small, many game components and large game components can be arranged, and a game board with a variety of game contents can be designed and configured.
