  The plate-like member 32 includes a plate 121 on which an article is placed and a fixture 122 that is detachably disposed on the bottom surface of the plate 121 and is detachably attached to the rod-like member 31. The plate 121 has an arbitrary size, and a claw portion insertion hole 124 into which a claw portion 123 of a fixture 122, which will be described in detail later, is removably inserted, is provided at a predetermined position in the thickness direction of the plate 121. Is formed through. (See especially FIGS. 5 and 6).

  The fixture 122 includes a receiving portion 126 in which a concave portion 125 for receiving the rod-shaped member 31 is formed, and a claw portion 123 that is formed to protrude from the upper portion of the receiving portion 126. The receiving part 126 receives the rod-shaped member 31 in the recessed part 125 by elastically deforming, and grips the received rod-shaped member 31 with the elastic restoring force. The claw portion 123 has a pair of claw pieces 123A and 123B erected on the upper surface of the receiving portion 126 so as to be opposed to each other with a gap of about 90 degrees between the claw pieces 123A and 123B. Bent portions 126A and 126B bent outward at an angle of are formed. These claw pieces 123 </ b> A and 123 </ b> B are elastically deformed in a direction approaching each other to be inserted into the claw portion insertion hole 124 and fixed to the plate 121 by the elastic restoring force thereof. At this time, the bent portions 126 </ b> A and 126 </ b> B abut on the upper surface of the plate 121, and the claw portion 123 is securely fixed to the plate 121.

  For example, if the plate 121 is substantially rectangular in a plan view and its long side is set to be substantially the same length as the rod-shaped member 31, the plate-like member 32 is attached along the end portion that becomes the long side of the plate 121. For example, as shown in FIGS. 3, 5, 15, and 16, the tool 122 can be fixed to the rod-shaped member 31 via the fixture 122, and the frame member 33 and the frame member 34 can be connected to each other. It is possible to fill the gap with a predetermined width (form an article placement surface). And the area | region where the plate 121 is not arrange | positioned can be made into the article drop opening 120. FIG. For example, when the plate 121 is substantially square in a plan view, the plate 121 can be fixed at an arbitrary position in the longitudinal direction of the rod-shaped member 31 as shown in FIG. In this case, as shown in FIGS. 1, 12, and 17, an area where the plate 121 is not disposed can be an article drop opening 120.

An article input guide plate 128 may be disposed on the side surface of the plate 121 that defines 120. Further, the article placement portions may be arranged in multiple stages, and the rod-like members 31 arranged on the frame members 33 and 34 arranged on either the upper and lower sides may be used in place of the guard plate 127. In this case, the article acquisition unit 5 has a configuration in which one end of the rod-shaped member 31 is attached to the frame member 33, the other end is attached to the frame member 34, and the plate 121 is placed on the rod-shaped member 31. It is preferable in terms of opening / closing operations of the gripping arms 51A and 51B.

  Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 17, a tapered surface 129 for preventing the gripping arms 51A and 51B of the article acquisition unit 5 to be described in detail later is formed on the side surface of the plate-like member 32. it can. The tapered surface 129 may be formed by obliquely bending the plate 121 so that the tip thereof is inside, or may be separately attached to the side surface of the plate-like member 32. By forming the tapered surface 129 in this way, for example, when the gripping arms 51A and 51B are about to close, even if they contact the side surface of the plate-like member 32, they are fixed to the tips of the gripping arms 51A and 51B. The claws 56 </ b> A and 56 </ b> B are guided by the tapered surface 129 and can be closed by a normal operation without being caught by the plate-like member 32. It is particularly preferable that the tapered surface 129 is disposed on the side surface of the plate-like member 32 that defines the article dropping port 120 that is expected to be easily caught by the gripping arms 51A and 51B. A curved surface may be formed instead of the tapered surface 129.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 13 and FIG. 14, the plate-like member 32 includes the back surface 17 and the vicinity of the side surface in the article storage unit 3, or between the article acquisition game area 1 </ b> A and the article acquisition game area 1 </ b> B. In addition, it is also possible to dispose a fixture 140 that engages with the support bars 130 and 131 disposed above and below and detachably fixes the plate member 32 to the support bars 130 and 131. The fixture 140 extends from the upper part of the main body 141 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, is detachably fixed to the lower surface of the plate-like member 32 and supports the plate-like member 32, and the upper part of the main body 141. A recess 143 is formed and receives the support bar 130 and engages with the support bar 130, and a recess 144 is formed at the lower portion of the main body 141 and receives the support bar 131 and engages with the support bar 131. . For example, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the fixture 140 is attached to the support bars 130 and 131 by engaging the recesses 143 and 144 with the support bars 130 and 131, respectively. Further, when there is a single support bar 130, the concave portion 143 or the concave portion 144 is engaged with the support bar 130, and the rear surface 146 and the rear surface 17 of the fixture 140 (or the article accommodating portion 3 are present). By adjusting the distance from the wall), the plate-like member 32 can be disposed obliquely at an arbitrary angle. In addition, articles can be hung or hooked on the support bars 130 and 131.

Than when the selected first engaged portions 28A and 28B and the second engaged portions 29A and 29B are at the same height (when the frame body 14 is installed horizontally). The distance between the selected first engaged parts 28A and 28B and the second engaged parts 29A and 29B is increased. Here, the first engaged portions 28A and 28B are formed from long holes extending in a direction approaching the second support members 19A and 19B, and a plurality of locking portions 39 are formed in this direction. Since they are formed at a distance from each other (see FIG. 4), the first engaging portions 24 and 25 are moved beyond the locking portion 39 in the selected first engaged portions 28A and 28B. Since the second engaging portions 26 and 27 can be moved, the positions of the first engaging portions 24 and 25 can be moved to the first engaged portion 28A without changing the length of the frame body 14. And 28B can be engaged in place.

  In the frame 14 supported by the support portion 9 in this way, the second engaging portions 26 and 27 are in contact with the bottom surfaces (the bottom surfaces of the recesses) of the second engaged portions 29A and 29B. The engaging portions 26 and 27 are prevented from falling off from the second engaged portions 29A and 29B. Further, the first engaging portions 24 and 25 are locked to a predetermined locking portion 39 formed in the first engaged portions 28A and 28B, and from the first engaged portions 28A and 28B. It is prevented from falling out. Therefore, the frame 14 is supported by the support portion 9 in a stable state.

  When the article placement unit 4 is supported by the support unit 9, as described above, first, after the frame body 14 is supported by the support unit 9, the rod-shaped member 31 or the plate shape is placed at an arbitrary position of the frame body 14. The member 32 may be disposed, or the frame body 14 in which the rod-shaped member 31 is disposed in advance, and the frame body 14 in which the rod-shaped member 31 and the plate-shaped member 32 are disposed in advance may be supported by the support portion 9. In the first embodiment, since the first engaged portions 28A and 28B are formed from long holes, the first engaging portions 24 and 25 can be formed by both ends of the first connecting frame member 35. In addition, it is not necessary to separately perform processing for forming the first engaging portions 24 and 25, and the structure of the frame body 14 can be simplified. Further, since the second engaged portions 29A and 29B are formed from the recesses, the second engaging portions 26 and 27 can be formed by the end portions of the frame members 33 and 34, respectively. It is not necessary to separately perform processing for forming the two engaging portions 26 and 27, and the structure of the frame body 14 can be simplified.

  Further, the article placement unit 4 may be configured by the frame body 14 and the rod-shaped member 31. In the case of this configuration, for example, the interval at which the bar-shaped members 31 are arranged is narrowed, and an article is sandwiched or hooked between the bar-shaped member 31 and the bar-shaped member 31 adjacent to the bar-shaped member 31. be able to. In this configuration, for example, when the article is an elastic object such as a stuffed animal, the article can be dropped by applying a predetermined force to the article by the article acquisition unit 5 or the like. Further, as described above, if the rod-shaped member 31 is movably disposed with respect to the frame members 33 and 34 or the rod-shaped member 31 as the first connecting frame member 35 and the second connecting frame member. The article can also be dropped by moving the rod-shaped member 31 and increasing the distance between the rod-shaped members 31 by the gripping arms 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B of the article acquisition unit 5. Further, if the interval at which the bar-shaped members 31 are arranged is narrowed, the article can be arranged on the bar-shaped members 31 arranged side by side without arranging the plate-like members 32.

  As described above, the article placement unit 4 can be placed in a horizontal state or tilted and placed in the article storage unit 3, and the layout can be changed. When the article placement section 4 is disposed at an inclination, the article placement section 4 is disposed so that the inclination of the article placement section 4 is steep if the article drop opening 120 is disposed below the inclination of the article placement section 4. However, it is easy to roll on the plate-like member 32 (or the rod-like member 31), and the article can be easily dropped to the article dropping port 120. Further, when the article placement section 4 is steep, if the guard plate 127 is not provided, the article dropped on the article placement section 4 rolls on the plate-like member 32 (or the rod-like member 31) and the article is discharged. Since it can also reach the unit 20, it can also serve as a simulated article dropout. In addition, if the inclination of the article placement unit 4 is made gentle, it is possible to make it difficult for the article to drop to the article drop opening 120. Therefore, the difficulty level of the game can be adjusted. Further, in the case of a layout in which an article is sandwiched or hooked between the bar-shaped members 31, the difficulty level of the game can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between the bar-shaped members 31.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 and 19 in particular, the article acquisition unit 5 includes a motor 50 as a power source, and an arm opening / closing unit 52 that opens and closes a pair of gripping arms 51A and 51B based on the rotation output of the motor 50. And spring portions 53A and 53B for determining the maximum gripping force when gripping an article by the gripping arms 51A and 51B, and a part including the motor 50 is covered with the cover 58. The gripping arms 51A and 51B are tiltably and detachably attached to the brackets 55A and 55B via base end members 54A and 54B, respectively. The open ends of the gripping arms 51A and 51B are claw 56A and 51B, respectively. Each of 56B is fixed. The motor 50 is connected to the control means 100 shown in FIG. 23, and the driving of the motor 50 is controlled by the control means 100. In the first embodiment, these gripping arms 51A and 51B are configured to open and close in the left-right direction (X direction).

  A pinion 61 is attached to the tip of the output shaft of the motor 50, and a rack 62 is fixed to the inner surface of the arm opening / closing portion 52 so as to be engaged with the pinion 61 in substantially parallel to the spring portions 53A and 53B. The arm opening / closing part 52 can be moved integrally with the rack 62 in the direction toward the base end members 54A and 54B or in the opposite direction by driving the motor 50 forward or backward. Further, the spring parts 53A and 53B are constituted by a coil spring 63 and a rod-shaped pin 64, and one end of the pin 64 is attached to a spring receiving member 65 provided in the arm opening / closing part 52. Further, the other end of the pin 64 is inserted into the coil spring 63 from the one end 63A of the coil spring 63 and fixed, and the pin 64 is almost removed from the other end 63B of the coil spring 63 at the center. A locking portion (not shown) for preventing this is formed.

  With such a configuration, when the gripping arms 51A and 51B are opened, when the proximal end members 54A and 54B are pushed by the arm opening / closing portion 52 and move in the direction to open the gripping arms 51A and 51B, the engagement of the pin 64 is increased. Since the pin 64 moves in the opening direction without extending the coil spring 63 until the stop portion reaches the other end 63B of the coil spring 63, it is possible to prevent the coil spring 63 from extending and generating a biasing force. Further, when the spring receiving member 65 provided on the arm opening / closing portion 52 is moved by the movement of the rack 62 to extend the coil spring 63, the locking portion reaches the other end 63B of the coil spring 63. Until only the pin 64 moves together with the arm opening / closing part 52, the coil spring 63 can be prevented from extending.

  In the article acquisition unit 5, the grip arms 51A and 51B are closed in the initial state. During the opening operation of the gripping arms 51A and 51B, the motor 50 is driven in the normal direction to rotate the pinion 61 in the clockwise direction, whereby the rack 62 and the arm opening / closing part 52 are moved toward the base end members 54A and 54B. Moving. As a result, the base end members 54A and 54B are pushed to one end of the arm opening / closing part 52, and the gripping arms 51A and 51B are opened. On the other hand, when the gripping arms 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B are closed, the pinion 61 rotates counterclockwise by driving the motor 50 in the reverse direction, whereby the rack 62 and the arm opening / closing unit 52 are moved to the center of the article acquisition unit 5. Move towards. As a result, as the arm opening / closing portion 52 moves, the gripping arms 51A and 51B are closed. The motor 50 continues to rotate until the rack 62 and the arm opening / closing unit 52 are in the initial position.

  In addition, an elevating device 7 that lifts and lowers the article acquiring unit 5 is attached to the upper part of the article acquiring unit 5. As shown in FIGS. 21 and 22, the lifting device 7 is attached to the upper part of the article acquisition unit 5 and can be expanded and contracted in the vertical direction, and is fixed to the upper part of the expansion and contraction unit 70 and includes the expansion and contraction unit 70. An elevating unit 80 that elevates and lowers the article acquiring unit 5 is provided.

  As shown in FIG. 21, the expansion / contraction part 70 is formed by fitting four pipes 71 </ b> A to 71 </ b> D, which are sequentially reduced in diameter, so as to be slidable in a telescopic manner. A boss 74 of the coupler 73 is fitted and fixed to the lower end of the pipe 71D disposed on the article acquisition unit 5 side. The article acquisition unit 5 is connected to the end of the coupler 73 via a bracket 89 (see FIG. 18). The expansion / contraction unit 70 moves the article acquisition unit 5 up and down by sliding the four pipes 71 </ b> A to 71 </ b> D in a telescopic manner and changing the overall length (length in the vertical direction).

  Specifically, elongated holes 72A to 72C extending in the axial direction are formed in the pipes 71A to 71C, respectively. A penetrating pin 66B that passes through the long hole 72A and can move up and down through the long hole 72A is fixed to the upper part of the pipe 71B. The upper part of the pipe 71C passes through the long hole 72B and moves the long hole 72B up and down. A through pin 66C that can move in the direction is fixed, and a through pin 66D that passes through the long hole 72C and can move in the up and down direction through the long hole 72C is fixed to the upper portion of the pipe 71D. The through-pin 66B moves downward in the long hole 72A, the through-pin 66C moves in the long-hole 72B, and the through-pin 66D moves downward in the long-hole 72C. From the pipe 71B, the pipe 71D extends downward from the pipe 71C, respectively, so that the entire length of the expandable portion 70 is increased. Further, the penetration pins 66B to 66D move upward in the elongated holes 72A to 72C, respectively, so that the entire length of the expandable portion 70 is shortened. These through-pins 66B to 66D can move through the long holes 72A to 72C in the vertical direction, respectively, but do not move in the circumferential direction of the pipes 71A to 71C, so that the pipes 71A to 71D rotate in the circumferential direction. There is nothing. Therefore, the article acquisition unit 5 does not rotate. In addition, the expansion / contraction part 70 can be lowered | hung to the position which can apply a load to rotation board 24A-24F in the lower end of the holding arms 51A and 51B of the article | item acquisition part 5. FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 22, the elevating unit 80 includes a winding / unwinding device 82 mounted on a carrier 81 and a wire 83 wound up by the winding / unwinding device 82. The entire length (length in the vertical direction) of the expansion / contraction part 70 is changed according to the length wound up by the winding / rewinding device 82. . The winding / rewinding device 82 includes a wire motor 84, a worm 85, a worm gear 86, a wire reel 87, and a guide reel 88. The wire 83 is fed out from the wire reel 87, wound around the guide reel 88, introduced into the inside of the expansion / contraction section 70, and a cylindrical connector 76 that can move up and down in the pipe at the outlet end of the pipe 71D. Is bound to. The connector 76 has a receiving hole 77 at the center, and the upper end of a mandrel 78 having a switch actuator 75 fixed to the lower end is coupled to the receiving hole 77. A coil spring 79 is mounted on the switch actuator 75 so as to surround the mandrel 78. A Z-direction limit switch 90 that limits the lowering of the wire 83 is set at the center of the bracket 89.

  The Z-direction limit switch 90 is a normally closed switch incorporated in an electric circuit that drives the wire motor 84, and is connected to the control means 100 shown in FIG. The Z-direction limit switch 90 includes a downward limit switch 90D that detects a downward movement limit position, and an upward limit switch 90U that detects an upward movement limit position.

  The downward limit switch 90D detects that the article acquisition unit 5 is in a bottomed state when the article acquisition unit 5 is lowered by the lifting device 7. Specifically, in the case of the article acquisition game apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment, if the Z-direction moving motor 106Z sequentially sends out the wires 83, the article acquisition unit 5 is lowered by an amount corresponding to the amount of delivery of the wires 83. To do. When the article acquisition unit 5 lowered in this manner hits the upper surface of the article or the article arrangement unit 4 and is placed on the article, the lowering of the article acquisition unit 5 stops there once, Since the direction moving motor 106Z continues to send out the wire 83, the tension of the wire 83 temporarily disappears and the wire 83 becomes loose. The downward limit switch 90D detects that the wire 83 is loose, thereby grasping that the article acquisition unit 5 has been lowered to the downward movement limit position. When the article acquisition unit 5 moves to the downward movement limit position, the downward limit switch 90D outputs a movement limit detection signal corresponding to the movement limit detection signal to the control means 100. On the other hand, when the article acquisition unit 5 moves to the upper movement limit position, the upper limit switch 90U outputs a movement limit detection signal corresponding to the upper limit switch 90U to the control means 100.

In addition, this raising / lowering part 80 is accommodated in the base 161 for articles | goods acquisition parts of the horizontal movement apparatus 6 explained in full detail later (refer FIG. 20). 21 is a cable for supplying power to the motor 50 of the article acquisition unit 5.

  The horizontal moving device 6 includes a pair of left and right moving fixed rails 162 fixedly arranged in the left and right direction (X direction) above the interior of the article storage unit 3, and is slidable on the left and right moving fixed rails 162 in the front and rear direction. A movable rail 163 for back-and-forth movement taken in the (Y direction) and an article acquisition unit base 161 slidably attached to the movable rail 163 for back-and-forth movement are provided.

  The forward / backward moving rail 163 can be moved in the left / right direction (X direction) along the left / right moving fixed rail 162 based on the rotational output of the X direction moving motor 106X (see FIG. 23). The base 161 can be moved in the front-rear direction (Y direction) along the front-rear movable rail 163 based on the rotational output of the Y-direction moving motor 106Y (see FIG. 23). Further, the Z-direction moving motor 106Z (see FIG. 23) can drive the winding / rewinding device 82 of the lifting device 7 and expand / contract the expansion / contraction portion 70 based on the rotation output. Therefore, by operating the X-direction moving motor 106X, the Y-direction moving motor 106Y, and the Z-direction moving motor 106Z to desired states, the article acquisition unit 5 can be moved to a desired position in the article storage unit 3. . These X-direction moving motor 106X, Y-direction moving motor 106Y, and Z-direction moving motor 106Z are connected to the control means 100 shown in FIG.

  Further, the X-direction limit switch 107X (see FIG. 23) is provided at the movement limit position in the X direction of the fixed rail 162 for left-right movement, and the Y-direction limit switch is provided at the movement limit position in the Y direction of the movable rail 163 for back-and-forth movement. 107Y (see FIG. 23) is provided. The X direction limit switch 107X and the Y direction limit switch 107Y are connected to the control means 100 shown in FIG. The X-direction limit switch 107X and the Y-direction limit switch 107Y are the movement limits corresponding to the movement when the article acquisition unit 5 moves to the respective movement limit positions in the left-right direction (X direction) and the front-rear direction (Y direction). A detection signal is output to the control means 100.

  The control means 100 has a microcomputer configuration including a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and a RAM (Random Access Memory). As shown in FIG. 23, the control means 100 includes an X-direction moving motor 106X, a Y-direction moving motor 106Y, as well as the first operation switch 13X and the second operation switch 13Y as the operation unit described above. Z-direction moving motor 106Z, motor 50 for opening and closing arms 51A and 51B of article acquisition unit 5, X-direction limit switch 107X, Y-direction limit switch 107Y, Z-direction limit switch 90, for example, storage unit 101 including a nonvolatile memory, A communication unit 102, which is an interface for communicating with an external device via a network, is connected.

  Next, an operation for causing the article acquisition game apparatus 1 to execute the article acquisition game by the player according to the article acquisition game execution processing procedure shown in FIGS. 24 and 25 will be described. In the first embodiment, a case where an article acquisition game is played in the article acquisition game area 1A will be described. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, the initial position (home position) of the article acquisition unit 5 is set to the front right side toward the article acquisition game apparatus 1.

  First, when the control means 100 recognizes that a predetermined number of coins for one play set in advance has been inserted into the coin insertion slot 12 (see FIGS. 1 and 2), it starts this article acquisition game execution processing procedure. To do. First, in step SP101, it waits for the first operation switch 13X (see FIGS. 1 and 2) of the console 11 (see FIGS. 1 and 2) to be pressed. Then, when the control means 100 recognizes that the player has pressed the first operation switch 13X based on the operation signal from the first operation switch 13X (step SP101: YES), the control means 100 proceeds to step SP102.

  In step SP102, the X-direction moving motor 106X of the horizontal movement device 6 (see FIG. 20) is operated to start the movement in the left direction (X direction) of the article acquisition unit 5 located at the home position. Next, the control means 100 proceeds to step SP103, and based on the movement limit detection signal from the corresponding X-direction limit switch 107X, the article acquisition unit 5 has finished moving to the movement limit position in the left direction (X direction). It is determined whether or not. Further, in the subsequent step SP104, the control means 100 determines whether or not the pressing of the first operation switch 13X is released based on the operation signal from the first operation switch 13X. And the control means 100 will return to step SP103, if a negative result (step SP103: NO, step SP104: NO) is obtained in both these step SP103 and step SP104.

  On the other hand, if the control means 100 obtains an affirmative result (step SP103: YES or step SP104: YES) in either step SP103 or step SP104, the control means 100 proceeds to step SP105 and performs the X-direction movement motor 106X of the horizontal movement device 6. Is stopped, the movement of the article acquisition unit 5 in the left direction (X direction) is terminated, and then the process proceeds to step SP106 where the second operation switch 13Y (see FIGS. 1 and 12) of the console 11 is pressed. I will wait for you.

  When the control means 100 recognizes that the second operation switch 13Y has been pressed based on the operation signal from the second operation switch 13Y (step SP106: YES), the control means 100 proceeds to step SP107 and proceeds to the horizontal movement device 6. The Y-direction moving motor 106Y is actuated to start the backward movement (Y direction) of the article acquisition unit 5.

  Thereafter, the control means 100 proceeds to step SP108, and based on the movement limit detection signal from the Y direction limit switch 107Y, has the article acquisition unit 5 finished moving to the movement limit position in the backward direction (Y direction)? Judging. Further, in the subsequent step SP109, the control means 100 determines whether or not the pressing of the second operation switch 13Y is released based on the operation signal from the second operation switch 13Y. If the control means 100 obtains a negative result (step SP108: NO, step SP109: NO) in both step SP108 and step SP109, it returns to step SP108.

  On the other hand, if the control means 100 obtains an affirmative result (step SP108: YES or step SP109: YES) in either step SP108 or step SP109, the control means 100 proceeds to step SP110 to move the Y-direction moving motor 106Y of the horizontal moving device 6. Is stopped and the movement of the article acquisition unit 5 in the backward direction (Y direction) is terminated. Then, it progresses to step SP111 and the motor 50 of the article | item acquisition part 5 is operated, and the holding arms 51A and 51B of the article | item acquisition part 5 are open | released.

  Next, in step SP112, the control means 100 operates the Z-direction moving motor 106Z of the horizontal movement device 6 to start the lowering of the article acquisition unit 5, and then proceeds to step SP113 to execute the article acquisition unit 5 Waits until it has moved to the lower limit position. On the other hand, when it is not recognized that the article acquisition unit 5 has moved to the movement limit position in the downward direction (Z direction) (step SP113: NO), the process returns to step SP113.

  And the control means 100 recognizes that the article | item acquisition part 5 finished moving to the downward movement limit position based on the movement limit detection signal from the downward direction limit switch 90D (step SP113: YES), Proceeding to step SP114, the Z-direction moving motor 106Z of the horizontal movement device 6 is stopped, and the descent of the article acquisition unit 5 is ended. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SP115, and the gripping arms 51A and 51B are closed by operating the motor 50 of the article acquisition unit 5.

  At this time, for example, if the gripping arms 51A and 51B are at appropriate positions with respect to the article, the gripping arms 51A and 51B grip the article. Further, when the rod-shaped member 31 is disposed so as to be movable with respect to the frame body 14, and when a predetermined force is applied to the rod-shaped member 31 in a predetermined direction by the operation of closing the grip arms 51A and 51B. The rod-shaped member 31 moves in that direction.

  Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SP116, where the Z-direction moving motor 106Z is operated to start raising the article acquisition unit 5. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SP117 and waits for the article acquisition unit 5 to finish moving to the upper limit (Z direction) movement limit position. Next, the control means 100 confirms that the article acquisition unit 5 has finished moving to the upward movement limit position based on the movement limit detection signal from the upward limit switch 90U (step SP117: YES). Then, the process proceeds to step SP118 to stop the Z-direction movement motor 106Z of the horizontal movement device 6 and finish the ascent of the article acquisition unit 5. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SP119.

  In step SP119, the X direction moving motor 106X and the Y direction moving motor 106Y of the horizontal moving device 6 are sequentially operated to move the article acquiring unit 5 in the right direction and the forward direction, thereby moving the article acquiring unit 5 to the home position position. Return to. Thereafter, the process proceeds to step SP120. Next, in step SP120, the motor 50 of the article acquisition unit 5 is operated to open the gripping arms 51A and 51B of the article acquisition unit 5. At this time, when the gripping arms 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B are gripping the article, the article falls to the article dropping port 120 and reaches the article take-out port 15 from the article discharge unit 20. Then, the gripping arms 51A and 51B are closed again to end the game.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the rod-shaped member 31 is disposed on the frame body 14 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the plate-shaped member 32 is not disposed on the frame body 14 if desired. May be provided. In this case, the plate-like member 32 may be simply placed on the frame body 14 by being attached to the frame members 33 and 34, but the plate-like member 32 can be attached to and detached from the frame body 14. If the lock member fixed to is arranged, the plate-like member 32 can be arranged in a more stable state. The locking member disposed on the plate-like member 32 may be, for example, a member obtained by modifying the insertion portion 138 of the locking member 37 described above into a configuration that can be fixed to the plate-like member 32. May be.

  In the first embodiment, the case where the lock members 37 having the structure shown in detail in FIGS. 8 and 9 are provided on the frame members 33 and 34 and the rod-shaped member 31 is not limited to this. If the frame members 33 and 34 and the rod-shaped member 31 can be detachably fixed, they may have other structures as shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, for example. Further, the lock member 37 is not necessarily provided.

  The lock member 137 shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 27 is formed at the same insertion portion 138 as the lock member 37 and at the tip of the insertion portion 138. The first connecting frame member 35, the rod-shaped member 31, and the frame members 33 and 34 are formed. A receiving portion 233 in which a recess 232 for receiving the light receiving portion 233 is formed, and a lock portion 235 rotatably attached to the receiving portion 233 by rotating shafts 234 and 236. A rotation shaft 234 is inserted into the lock portion 235, a shaft hole 237 for moving the inserted rotation shaft 234 relatively, and a rotation shaft 236 are inserted, and the inserted rotation shaft 236 is relative to the lock portion 235. And a recess 239 capable of receiving the first connecting frame member 35, the rod-shaped member 31, and the frame members 33 and 34. And when the lock part 235 rotates to a lock position (refer FIG. 27), a part of wall part which demarcates the recessed part 239 protrudes in the recessed part 232, The 1st connection frame member 35, the rod-shaped member 31 By pressing the frame members 33 and 34, the first connecting frame member 35, the rod-shaped member 31, and the frame members 33 and 34 are locked.

  In the first embodiment, the elevating unit 80 is in contact with, for example, the gripping arm 51A and / or the gripping arm 51B of the article acquisition unit 5 (such as the bar-shaped member 31 when the bar-shaped member 31 is to be moved). After (hit), the time until the winding of the wire 83 by the winding / unwinding device 82 is started (that is, the time until the article acquisition unit 5 is raised) may be arbitrarily determined in advance. For example, by making the time longer than usual, the gripping arm 51A and / or the gripping arm 51B can take a long time to press the article (the rod-shaped member 31 when the rod-shaped member 31 is moved). It may be possible to facilitate the acquisition and rolling operation of the article (movement of the rod-shaped member 31). On the other hand, the time for which the gripping arm 51A and / or the gripping arm 51B presses the article (the rod-shaped member 31 when the rod-shaped member 31 is to be moved) can be shortened by shortening the time. It may be possible to make it difficult to acquire or roll the article (movement of the rod-shaped member 31). Thus, the difficulty level of a game can be changed also by changing the said time. In this case, a timer (not shown) may be connected to the control means 100, and the time may be measured by this timer.

(Embodiment 2)
Next, an article acquisition game device according to a second embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. In the second embodiment, the same members as those described in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  FIG. 28 is a perspective view showing components constituting the article placement unit of the article acquisition game device according to the second embodiment, FIG. 29 is a perspective view of the corner guard shown in FIG. 28, and FIG. 30 is a corner shown in FIG. 31 is a front view of the guard, FIG. 31 is a perspective view of the article placement portion before attaching the corner guard, and FIG. 32 is a perspective view showing a state in which the plate-like member is disposed on the rod-like member. In addition, in each said figure, in order to make an explanation easy to understand, the thickness, size, enlargement / reduction ratio, etc. of each member are described without matching with actual ones.

  As shown in FIGS. 28 to 32, the main differences between the article acquisition game apparatus according to the second embodiment and the article acquisition game apparatus 1 according to the first embodiment are the configuration of the plate-like member 332 and the board. The guard plate 240 is disposed on each of the side surfaces 333 and 334 of the shaped member 332, and the corner guard 250 is disposed between the guard plate 240 and the guard plate 240.

  The plate-shaped member 332 is fixed by screws 337 at the four corners of the plate 121 and side surfaces 333, 334, 335 and 336 formed substantially perpendicular to the four sides of the plate 121, and is detachable from the rod-shaped member 31. A mounting tool 338 is provided. The side surface 335 disposed opposite to the side surface 333 has the same shape, and screw holes 241 and 242 are formed at both ends thereof. An insertion hole 243 is formed between the screw hole 241 and the screw hole 242. A side surface 336 disposed opposite to the side surface 334 has a similar shape, and screw holes 241 and 242 are formed at both ends thereof. The fixture 338 is disposed on each of the side surface 334 and the side surface 336, and the plate-shaped member 332 is attached to and detached from the rod-shaped member 31 by sandwiching the rod-shaped member 31 by the claw portion 245 and the claw portions 246 and 247.

The guard plate 240 is movable in a substantially vertical direction (vertical direction in FIG. 28) with respect to the plate-like member 332 in a state where the shaft portion of the screw 260 screwed into the screw holes 241 and 242 passes through the elongated hole 248. The plate 260 is fixed to any one of the side surfaces 333 to 336 of the plate-like member 332 (in the second embodiment, the side surfaces 333 and 334) at any position, and the upper surface of the plate 121 However, it can be arranged at an arbitrary height. For this reason, the guard plate 240 is attached to the side surfaces 333 and 334 so as not to interfere with the rod-shaped member 31 when the movement is performed (see FIG. 31). 31) is formed. The guard plate 240 prevents, for example, an article placed on the plate 121 from falling from the plate 121, defines an article drop 120, and makes it difficult for the article acquisition unit 5 to acquire an article. It can be used for various purposes such as adjusting (for example, acting as a breakwater to prevent the article from being easily acquired), and the height relative to the upper surface of the plate 121 can be determined according to these purposes. it can.

  As shown particularly in FIG. 28, the corner guard 250 has a substantially L-shape bent at a substantially right angle so as to be mounted across the side surfaces 333 and 334 of the plate-like member 332. On the other hand, it has a substantially symmetrical shape. The corner guard 250 is detachably disposed between the guard plate 240 disposed on the side surface 334 of the plate-like member 332 and the guard plate 240 disposed on the side surface 335. A part of the gap S (see FIG. 31) formed therebetween can be closed (see FIG. 28). Further, at the lower end of the corner guard 250, as shown in FIGS. 28 to 30, an inclined portion 254 that protrudes downward from a substantially central portion of the bent portion 251 and the edge portion 252 facing the bent portion 251, 255 is formed. Note that inclined portions 254 and 255 are also formed at the lower end between the edge portion 253 opposite to the edge portion 252 and the bent portion 251.

  Further, notches 256 and 257 through which the screw 260 can pass are formed at the upper portions of the edges 252 and 253 of the corner guard 250, respectively. These notches 256 and 257 are formed by screw holes 242 formed in the side surface 333 and screw holes formed in the side surface 334 when the corner guard 250 is disposed on the side surfaces 333 and 334 of the plate-like member 332. The corner guard 250 is detachably fixed to the side surfaces 333 and 334 together with the guard plate 240 when the screw 260 passes therethrough. Further, a concave portion 258 is formed at the upper end of the corner guard 250 near the bent portion 251 to avoid interference with the rod-shaped member 31 when it is disposed on the plate-shaped member 332.

  As described above, when the corner guard 250 having this shape is disposed on the plate-like member 332, a part of the gap S formed between the two guard plates 240 (in FIG. 28, the gap S). (Upper part) can be blocked. For this reason, even when the gripping arms 51A and 51B are positioned between the two guard plates 240 when the gripping arms 51A and 51B of the article acquisition unit 5 try to acquire the articles, Since 51A and 51B are guided by the inclined portions 254 and 255 of the corner guard 250, the grip arms 51A and 51B are prevented from being caught in the corner guard 250, the guard plate 240, or a space formed by these members. can do.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 33, the height of the guard plate 240 with respect to the upper surface of the plate 121 of the plate-like member 332 is made higher than that shown in FIG. 28, and both corner guards 250 are used. A gap formed vertically between the guard plates 240 with the rod-shaped member 31 interposed therebetween may be closed. In this case, the corner guard 250 positioned below the rod-shaped member 31 serves to prevent the gripping arms 51A and 51B from being caught as described above. On the other hand, the corner guard 250 positioned above the rod-shaped member 31 can play a role of preventing articles placed on the upper surface of the plate 121 from falling from the gap.

  Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 34, the corner guard 250 is a plate that is detachably fixed at one end to the rod-shaped member 31 by a fixture 338 and the upper surface of the plate 121 is arranged in a substantially vertical direction. You may arrange | position at the both corners of the lower end of the shaped member 332. By doing in this way, the corner guard 250 can be used also when, for example, laying out articles on the back surface 17 of the article storage unit 3 or the like.

  Furthermore, the corner guard 250 has a corner from the edge 252 (253) toward the bent portion 251 as shown in FIGS. 35 and 36, for example, instead of the inclined portions 254 and 255 formed at the lower end thereof. An inclined portion 265 that is inclined so that the length of the guard 250 gradually increases may be formed. In the case of this configuration, similarly to the configuration in which the inclined portions 254 and 255 are formed, since the gripping arms 51A and 51B are guided by the inclined portion 265, the corner guard 250, the guard plate 240, or these members are used. It is possible to prevent the grip arms 51A and 51B from being caught in a space or the like.

  Further, as other shape corner guards, for example, as shown in FIGS. 37 to 39, a guard plate 240 disposed on the side surface 333 of the plate-shaped member 332 and a side surface 334 of the plate-shaped member 332 are disposed. A guard body 351 that blocks a part of the gap S formed between the guard plate 240 and a first fixing part 352 that is continuously formed on the upper part of the guard body 351 and is detachably fixed to the side surface 333. In addition, a corner guard 350 having a configuration that includes a second fixing portion 353 that is bent substantially at right angles to the first fixing portion 352 and is detachably fixed to the side surface 334 can be provided.

At the upper end of the guard plate 440, when the guard plate 440 is attached to the side surface 333, notches 256 and 257 through which the screw 260 can pass are formed at positions overlapping with the screw holes 241 and 242, respectively. A convex portion 441 to be inserted into the insertion hole 243 formed in the side surface 333 is formed between the 256 and the notch portion 257. Since this convex portion 441 can be inserted into the insertion hole 243 when the guard plate 440 is fixed (screwed) to the plate-like member 332 with the screw 260, the guard plate 440 is stably attached to the plate-like member 332. In this state, it can be fixed (screwed), and the mounting workability can be improved. Further, even if the screw 260 is loosened with the guard plate 440 attached to the plate-like member 332, the guard plate 440 is removed from the plate-like member 332 because the convex portion 441 is inserted into the insertion hole 243. It can be prevented from falling.

  Further, on both sides of the upper end of the guard plate 440, concave portions 258 for avoiding interference with the rod-shaped member 31 when disposed on the plate-shaped member 332 are formed. For this reason, the part located below the rod-shaped member 31 of the guard plate 440 can be extended to the lower part of the rod-shaped member 31 as shown in FIGS.

  By arranging the guard plate 440 having this configuration on the plate-like member 332, when the article is to be acquired by the holding arms 51A and 51B of the article acquisition unit 5, the holding arms 51A and 51B Even if it tries to contact the bottom surface or corner portion of 332, the gripping arms 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B are guided by the curved surface of the guard plate 440, thereby preventing the plate member 332 from being caught near the bottom surface or corner portion.

For this reason, when the rod-shaped body 601 is rotated with the lock member 600 as a fulcrum, the crossing angle of the rod-shaped body 601 with respect to the frame member 33 (34) can be easily changed. When the crossing angle of the rod-shaped body 601 is determined, the connecting screw 690 may be tightened to fix the position of the rod-shaped body 601. Since the lock member 600 is configured to fix the position of the rod-shaped body 601 by fastening the upper lock piece 620 and the lower lock piece 650 with the connecting screw 690 with the base plate 610 as the center, a new member can be obtained with fewer parts. The crossing angle can be changed without needing to.

  In the fourth embodiment, instead of the substantially disc-shaped base plate 610, for example, a substantially L-shaped base plate 710 in plan view may be used as shown in FIGS. The base plate 710 is a curved portion 711 whose one edge is curved in a plan view. A horizontal portion 712 extending in the horizontal direction and a horizontal portion are provided on the edge portion shifted from the curved portion 711 by approximately 90 degrees. An inclined wall portion 713 extending obliquely downward from the tip of 712 is formed. That is, one end of the substantially L-shaped L in plan view described above is formed of a curved portion 711, the other end is formed of a horizontal portion 712 and an inclined wall portion 713, and corners are rounded. (See, for example, FIGS. 110 and 111). Further, by using the substantially L-shaped base plate 710 in a plan view, the base plate 610 is substantially fixed to the rod-like body 601 by the inclined wall portion 713 even when the connecting screw 690 is loosened. It is easy to change the intersection angle 601. Further, by making the base plate 710 substantially L-shaped in plan view, there is an advantage that it is less noticeable when attached than a substantially disk shape, and less material is required.

  The lock member 600 in which the base plate 710 is used has a frame member 33 in a space formed by the upper surface of the curved portion 711 and the wall portion 622, the horizontal wall portion 623, and the inclined wall portion 624 of the upper lock piece 620. (34) is inserted, and the tip of the rod-shaped body 601 is inserted into the space formed by the lower surfaces of the horizontal portion 712 and the inclined wall portion 713 and the wall portion 652, the horizontal wall portion 653, and the inclined wall portion 654 of the lower lock piece 650. The crossing angle of the rod-like body 601 with respect to the frame member 33 (34) can be easily changed by the same operation as described above.

  In the fourth embodiment, the case where the rod-shaped member 605 is stretched over the frame members 33 and 34 has been described. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the frame members 33 and 34 may be used as the second connection frame members. When the rod-shaped member 31 is attached and another rod-shaped body extending in the Y direction is disposed between the first coupling frame member 35 and the rod-shaped member 31 (second coupling frame member), one end of the rod-shaped member is disposed. And the first connection frame member 35 are connected via a lock member 600, and the other end of the rod-like member is connected to the rod-like member 31 (second connection frame member) via a lock member 600. Also good.

  In addition, the lock member 600 can appropriately select a constituent material such as a metal or a resin as desired, and can appropriately select a manufacturing method (molding method) suitable for the constituent material.
