Description

  The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine, and in particular, to a game board, a sorting game that changes a center game and a movement path of a game ball guided in the center game so as to make the player interested. The present invention relates to a pachinko machine provided.

  Conventionally, pachinko machines described in Patent Document 1 below have been proposed for pachinko gaming machines. On the stage provided on the game board of this pachinko machine, a structure corresponding to a so-called sorting role is provided. This structure has both left front and left back rotation rollers, and these left front and left back rotation rollers are parallel to each other in the left-right direction in a receiving hole formed on the back side of the stage. And is provided between the left wall portion and the common wall portion. Further, both the right front side and right right side rotation rollers are provided between the common wall portion and the right wall portion so as to be parallel to each other in the left-right direction in the accommodation hole.

  Here, the rotation rollers on the left front side and the left back side are positioned on the front side and the back side between the left wall portion and the common wall portion, and the rotation rollers on the left front side and the left back side are located. Each has a circular cross-sectional shape and the same vertical cross-sectional shape, and is formed in a converging shape from the left end to the right end. However, the left back side rotation roller is positioned above the drive shaft of the left front side rotation roller on its drive shaft. For this reason, the left back side rotation roller is located above the left front side rotation roller.

  Moreover, each rotation roller of a right front side and a right back side is located in a near side and a back side between a common wall part and a right side wall part. Each of the right front and right rear rotating rollers has a circular cross section and the same vertical cross section, and the right end is opposite to the left front and left rear rotating rollers. It is formed in a converging shape from the part to the left end part. However, the right front rotation roller has a common drive shaft with the left front rotation roller, and the right rear rotation roller is positioned coaxially with the left rear rotation roller. For this reason, the right back side rotation roller is located above the right front side rotation roller.

  Further, the left back side rotation roller has both magnets, and these both magnets are spaced apart from each other on the outer peripheral surface portion along the drive shaft of the left back side rotation roller among the outer peripheral surfaces of the left back side rotation roller. Are housed in the two housing recesses respectively provided. Further, the right back side rotation roller also has both magnets, and these both magnets are spaced apart from each other on the outer peripheral surface of the right back side rotation roller along the drive shaft of the right back side rotation roller. Are housed in the two housing recesses respectively provided. However, both receiving recesses of the right back side rotating roller are at the same rotation angle position as both receiving recesses of the left back side rotating roller.

  On the other hand, the left front side rotating roller also has both magnets, and these both magnets are respectively housed in both housing recesses provided on the outer peripheral surface of the left front side rotating roller with a space left and right. However, the two housing recesses of the left front rotation roller are located 90 degrees apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the left front rotation roller. Further, the right front rotating roller also has both magnets, and these two magnets are respectively housed in both housing recesses provided on the outer peripheral surface of the right front rotating roller at left and right intervals. However, the two housing recesses of the right front rotating roller are positioned 90 degrees apart from each other in the circumferential direction of the outer peripheral surface of the right front rotating roller.

Thus, the left and right front side rotation rollers and the left and right back side rotation rollers are driven by a step motor via a plurality of gears, and both rotate in the same direction. However, the rotating direction of each rotating roller coincides with the clockwise direction when the rotating roller is viewed from the right side.
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2005-237843

  By the way, in the pachinko machine configured as described above, when each rotating roller rotates in the clockwise direction as described above, the game ball rolling on the front floor of the stage is, for example, any of the left front rotating roller. When the magnet is attracted by the magnet, the attracted game ball rides on the outer peripheral surface of the left front rotating roller as the left front rotating roller rotates clockwise. Move towards the surface.

  After that, when the game ball moved in this way is attracted by the magnet of the left back side rotation roller, the adsorbed game ball is separated from the outer peripheral surface of the left front side rotation roller by the left back side rotation roller. Ride on the outer surface. Then, the game ball that has ridden in this manner rolls in the inclined direction along the outer peripheral surface of the left back side rotation roller and falls into the opening hole of the common wall portion.

  However, as described above, even when the game ball is attracted by the magnet of the left front rotation roller and rides on the outer peripheral surface of the left front rotation roller from the front floor, the game ball is hardly attracted by the magnet of the left rear rotation roller. When it is in position occurs.

  In such a case, even if both the left front and left back rotation rollers are rotating clockwise, the left back rotation roller has a circular cross section, so that the game ball is rotated by the left front rotation roller. Even after being released from the attraction by the magnet, it does not move in the inclined direction of the outer peripheral surface of the left front rotating roller while contacting the outer peripheral surface of the left rear rotating roller, and on the outer peripheral surface of the left front rotating roller. The situation of stopping is likely to occur.

  As a result, when such a situation occurs, the game ball does not move, and the effect of the game ball on the folded stage is intriguing.

  Further, as described above, when the rotation rollers on the left front side and the left back side are rotated, the rotation rollers on the left front side and the left back side are configured to have a circular cross section. The rotation trajectory of the outer peripheral surface is uniform regardless of the rotation position of each rotation roller. For this reason, the player cannot predict the installation position of the magnet with respect to the rotating roller at all. Therefore, even when the rotating roller rotates, it is difficult to predict at what timing the magnet moves to a position visible to the player.

  As a result, the player can only be interested in the result of whether or not the game ball is attracted by the magnet with the rotation of the rotating roller, and the game ball attracted by the magnet of the front rotating roller is An interest in predicting whether or not the magnet is attracted by the magnet of the side rotating roller cannot be given to the player, and the effect of playing the game ball on the stage is intriguing.

  Therefore, in order to deal with the above-described problems, the present invention devised a cross-sectional shape of the rotating body of the sorting accessory provided on the stage of the center accessory and the arrangement of the permanent magnets on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating body. The game ball is moved without stopping on the outer peripheral wall of the rotating body, while making it possible to predict the position of the permanent magnet, so that the player can be more interesting by the movement of the game ball on the stage. The purpose is to provide a pachinko machine that has been made.

According to the above problem, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present invention, according to the description of claim 1,

Among them, the outer wall portions 41a, 41a adjacent to each other are fitted along the longitudinal direction in the respective center holes in the width direction. Thereby, both the permanent magnets 41b and 41b are facing each other at 90 degrees different from each other. Here, both the permanent magnets 41b and 41b have a magnetic force that can attract the game ball and move it toward the rear rotating body 40d.

  The rear rotating body 40d has a long rectangular column 43, and the rectangular column 43 forms an outer peripheral wall having a square cross-section that is the same as the rectangular column 41 by four outer wall portions 43a to 43a. It is formed in a longitudinal shape. The rear rotating body 40d has left and right side shaft portions 44a and 44b. These left and right side shaft portions 44a and 44b are formed from the center of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular column 43 as shown in FIG. They are integrally extended in opposite directions.

This means that the rear rotating body 40d is located obliquely above the rear rotating body 40c so that its lower portion in the longitudinal direction is positioned directly above the opening of the recess 32a of the middle stage section 32. It means that it is rotatably supported by the left and right side shaft portions 44a and 44b.

  Further, the rear rotating body 40d has both band-like permanent magnets 43b and 43b, and these both permanent magnets 43b and 43b are four outer wall portions 43a to 43a of the quadrangular column 42 as shown in FIG. Among them, the outer wall portions 43a, 43a facing each other are fitted along the longitudinal direction in the center hole portion in the width direction. Thereby, both permanent magnets 43b and 43b face outward in opposite directions on each surface. Further, the permanent magnets 43b and 43b have a magnetic force that can attract and move the game balls attracted to the permanent magnets 41b and 41b of the front rotating body 40c backward. Therefore, the widths of the permanent magnets 43b and 43b are set so that the permanent magnets 43b and 43b have a magnetic force stronger than the magnetic forces of the permanent magnets 41b and 41b, respectively. It is wider than the width. The permanent magnets 41b, 41b, 43b, and 43b have the same thickness.

  In the first embodiment, when the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41 is parallel to the outer wall portion 43a of the quadrangular column 43 and faces the outer wall portion 43a, a predetermined value is given between the outer wall portions 41a and 43a. The gap G (see FIG. 6) is, for example, 9.51 (mm), which is narrower than the outer diameter (11 (mm)) of the game ball. The axial distance between the front and rear rotating bodies 40c and 40d is selected so as not to interfere with each other.

As shown in FIG. 5, the gear train 40e has a plurality of spur gears 45 to 48, and the spur gear 45 is located between the quadrangular column portion 41 of the front side rotating body 40c and the right support wall 40b. The shaft 40b is coaxially supported by the right shaft portion 42b of the front rotating body 40c. The spur gear 46 is positioned obliquely above the rear side of the spur gear 45, and this spur gear 46 is located between the quadrangular column portion 43 of the rear side rotary body 40d and the right support wall 40b. It is coaxially supported by the right shaft portion 44b of 40d. In the first embodiment, the gear ratio of the spur gears 45 and 46 is selected so that the spur gear 46 has a larger outer diameter than the spur gear 45.

The spur gear 47 is rotatably supported by the right support wall 40b on a shaft 47a parallel to the right shafts 42b and 44b so as to mesh with both the spur gears 45 and 46. Is larger than the outer diameters of both spur gears 45 and 46. The remaining spur gear 48 is coaxially supported on the output shaft 48a of the step motor 40f so as to mesh with the spur gear 47 from the lower rear side of the spur gear 47, and the outer diameter of the spur gear 48 is The outer diameter of the spur gear 47 is larger. The spur gear 48 serves as a driving gear, the spur gear 47 serves as an intermediate gear, and both spur gears 45 and 46 serve as driven gears.

  In the gear train 40e configured as described above, the spur gears 45 and 46 are both rotated by the step motor 40f via the spur gears 47 and 48 so as to rotate in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. Although driven, since the spur gear 46 has a larger outer diameter than the spur gear 45, the rotational speed of the spur gear 46 is lower than the rotational speed of the spur gear 45. In the first embodiment, the spur gears 45 to 48 are both made of a synthetic resin material.

The step motor 40f is supported by the motor main body at the lower rear side of the right support wall 40b, and the output shaft 48a of the step motor 40f supports the spur gear 48 coaxially as described above. Extends to the left. Thereby, the step motor 40f is supplied with power by turning on the power (not shown) of the pachinko gaming machine, and rotates in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 5, thereby rotating the spur gear 48 in the same direction. This means that the following rotating bodies 40c and 40d on the front side and the rear side respectively rotate in the same direction as the step motor 40e with a predetermined drive pattern. The drive pattern is mainly specified by the rotation pattern of the step motor 40f and the rotation pattern of each gear of the gear train 40e.

  The gaming machine main body B has a group of obstacle nails (not shown) made up of a number of obstacle nails and an image display 50 (see FIG. 2). On the inner side of 20, from the left side to the lower side of the center accessory 30, the game board 10 is distributed and driven from the board surface 11 side. Thus, according to the obstacle nail group, the game ball guided from the guide rail 20 into the game area 12 rolls downward along the board surface 11 of the game board 10 through collision with each obstacle nail. .

  The image display 50 is disposed on the back surface of the game board 10 so as to face the front from an opening provided in the center of the game board 10 and displays various images.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 2, the gaming machine main body B includes a start chucker 60, an electric tulip 70, a through gate 80, a windmill 90, a plurality of (three) normal winning openings 100, an attacker 110, and a plurality of starboards.

The start chucker 60, the electric tulip 70, the through gate 80, the windmill 90, each of the regular winning openings 100, the attacker 110, and each of the starboard lamps 120 are shown in FIG. Are arranged in the game area 12 on the board surface 11 of the game board 10 at each position indicated by. Further, each star-shaped movable accessory 130 is disposed on the right side of the center accessory 30 as shown in FIG.

  Here, the start chucker 60 is located directly below the lower end opening 35b of the guide passage 35 of the stage 30a. The start chucker 60 is provided with a start winning opening 61. The start chucker 60 is provided with a game ball guided by a plurality of obstacle nails (so-called road nails) located on the left and right sides of the start chucker 60 and the guide passage 35 of the stage 30a. The game ball falling from the lower end opening 35b is given an opportunity to win a start winning opening 61 (start winning prize). Further, the start chucker 60 forms an opportunity for a big win lottery (a lottery for determining whether or not a big hit is made) based on the winning of a game ball in the start winning opening 61.

  The electric tulip 70 is positioned directly below the start chucker 60 in order to play a role as an ordinary electric accessory, and the electric tulip 70 includes an electric chew winning opening 71. Thus, the electric tulip 70 gives the game ball an opportunity to win the electric chew winning opening 71 in the closed state (the state shown in FIG. 2). In addition, the electric tulip 70 increases the chance of winning the game ball into the electric chew winning opening 71 in the opened state. It should be noted that the electric chew winning opening 71 also serves as a starting winning opening for game balls similar to the starting winning opening 61.

  The through gate 80 is located on the left side of the central portion of the left edge of the center accessory 30. Thus, when the game ball rolls downward from directly above the through gate 80 along the board surface 11 of the game board 10, the game ball gets an opportunity to pass through the through gate 80. The windmill 90 is located below the through gate 80, and the windmill 90 rotates when it is hit along the board surface 11 of the game board 10 by the game ball rolling downward from the through gate 80 or its periphery. While rolling the game ball downward. The plurality of normal winning holes 100 are located on both the left and right sides of the start chucker 60, and the both left normal winning holes 100 give an opportunity to win a game ball rolling downward from directly above. Further, the right normal winning opening 100 gives an opportunity to win a game ball that rolls downward from directly above.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the attacker 110 is provided on the game board 10 from the board surface 11 side immediately below the start chucker 60, and the attacker 110 intermittently opens the door so that a game ball can be won. Open to. The plurality of star disk lamps 120 are located two between the two left normal winning holes 100 and the right side of the right normal winning hole 100. The plurality of star disk lamps 120 are respectively A predetermined effect is performed by blinking.

In the configuration the first embodiment as described above, player, each game balls paid out in the upper tray, the original operation by rehearsal bundle H on the sphere launcher sequentially guide When launched toward the rail 20, each of these game balls is guided into the game area 12 by the guide rail 20. When the game ball guided in this way falls, for example, through the left warp passage of the center accessory 30 toward the stage 30a, the game ball is moved to the front, middle, and rear stage portions of the stage 30a. Roll toward 31-33.

  In addition, when the step motor 40f rotates in the clockwise direction shown in FIG. 5 in accordance with the operation of the sorting accessory 40, the spur gear 48 rotates in the same direction as the step motor 40f, and the spur gear 47 rotates. The spur gears 45 and 46 rotate in the opposite direction to the gear 48, and the spur gears 45 and 46 rotate in the same direction as the step motor 40f (the clockwise direction). Therefore, the front and rear rotating bodies 40c and 40d rotate in the same direction as the spur gears 45 and 46 as the spur gears 45 and 46 rotate.

  In such a state, the game ball rolls on the left end of the upper surface 33a of the rear stage portion 33 of the rear stage portion 33a as indicated by the symbol N in FIG. 7, for example, as indicated by the symbol N1. It rolls to the upper surface of the middle stage part 32, and further rolls to the central raised surface part 31a of the front stage part 31.

  Thus, when the game ball rolled in this way further rolls toward the quadrangular column 41 side of the front rotating body 40c, one of the permanent magnets 41b and 41b becomes one of the two permanent magnets 41b shown in FIG. As indicated by the dotted line, if the game ball is in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30, the game ball is moved by the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c as indicated by reference numeral N2 in FIG. Adsorbed. Thereafter, the game ball adsorbed in this way is rotated in accordance with the clockwise rotation of the quadrangular column 41, as shown by reference numeral N4 in FIGS. 7 and 8B, and the one permanent magnet 41b. In the state where it is lifted by the first permanent magnet 41b and moved onto the one of the permanent magnets 41b, it moves toward the quadrangular prism 43 side of the rear rotating body 40d.

  In such a moving process, one permanent magnet 43b of both the permanent magnets 43b and 43b of the rear rotating body 40d is rotated as the square pillar 43 is rotated, as shown in FIGS. 7 and 8C. When the position facing the front of the object 30 is reached, the game ball on the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c is moved to the one of the rear rotating body 40d as indicated by reference numeral N5 in FIG. It is attracted by the permanent magnet 43b.

  Here, since the magnetic force of the one permanent magnet 43b is stronger than the magnetic force of the one permanent magnet 41b as described above, the game balls attracted by the one permanent magnet 43b are the two square poles 41, With the rotation of 43, after being separated from the one permanent magnet 41b against the magnetic force, the one permanent magnet 43b as shown by reference numerals N6 and N7 in FIGS. It moves upward and rearward while being adsorbed by. Thereafter, the game ball falls from the upper end opening 35a into the guide passage 35 as indicated by reference numeral N8 in FIG.

  The game ball dropped in this way is guided by the guide passage 35 and falls from the lower end opening 35b toward the front lower side in the same manner as the game ball indicated by the symbol M in FIG. The game ball that has fallen in this way has a possibility of winning in the start winning opening 61 of the start chucker 60 located therebelow.

  Further, as described above, the rotational speed of the rear rotating body 40d is lower than the rotational speed of the front rotating body 40c. Therefore, when the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c is in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30 as shown in FIG. 8A, as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9A, the one permanent magnet 43b of the rotating body 40d may be in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30 in the same manner.

  At this time, in the same manner as described above, the game ball attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b is the same as in FIG. 8 (b) as the quadrangular column 41 rotates as indicated by reference numeral N4 in FIG. 9 (b). In addition, while moving upward toward the square pillar 43 side, the one permanent magnet 43 b also rotates upward on the rear side as the square pillar 43 rotates.

  For this reason, even if the game ball attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b reaches the same position as in FIG. 8C, as indicated by reference numeral N5 in FIG. As shown in FIG. 9C, the one permanent magnet 43b is not already in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30, but is in a position facing the upper side.

  Therefore, as described above, the rotation speed of the rectangular column 43 is lower than the rotation speed of the quadrangular column 41, and the square columns 41 and 43 have a square cross section, so that the game attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b. Without stopping on the outer wall 41a having the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c, the sphere is pushed forward by the square pillar 43 as indicated by reference numeral N8 in FIG. 9 (d), It is reliably separated from the one permanent magnet 41b against the magnetic force, and falls toward the central raised surface portion 31a of the front stage portion 31 as indicated by reference numeral N9 in FIG. 9 (e). When the game ball rolls in the direction indicated by the two-dot chain line in FIG. 7, it falls into the guide passage 35 or to the front of the stage 30a.

  Thus, the game ball that has fallen in this way rolls along the central raised surface portion 31a in accordance with the surface shape under the momentum, and, for example, falls from the central raised surface portion 31a to the start chucker 60 side. .

  As described above, in the first embodiment, in the sorting tool 40, the square pillars 41 and 43 of the rotary bodies 40c and 40d on the front and rear sides are not circular in cross section but square in cross section. The rotation speed of the quadrangular prism 43 is lower than the rotation speed of the quadrangular prism 41.

  Under such a premise, the front and rear square pillars 41 and 43 are the same or different in the number of the outer wall portions, and as described above, the game ball is the front raised surface portion. By rolling toward the quadrangular column 41 on 31a, the game ball is attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c and moved from the upper side to the quadrangular column 43 side as the quadrangular column 41 rotates. When the outer wall portion 41a having the permanent magnet 41b in the quadrangular column 41 is in a position facing upward, the outer wall portion 43a having the permanent magnet 43b in the quadrangular column 43 is in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30. There is no limitation, and there may be a position facing the upper side.

  Therefore, as described above, since the rotation speed of the quadrangular column 43 is lower than the rotation speed of the quadrangular column 41, the outer wall portion 43a having the one permanent magnet 43b of the rear rotating body 40d is If it is in a position facing the front, the game ball attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b is attracted by the one permanent magnet 43b and rides on the permanent magnet, and the upper end opening portion in the rear guide passage 35 Fall from 34a.

  On the other hand, when the game ball moves to the quadrangular prism 43 side as described above, the outer wall portion 43a having the one permanent magnet 43b of the rear rotating body 40d is not in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30, If it is in a position facing the upper side, the rotational speed of the square pillar 43 is lower than the rotational speed of the front rotating body 40c as described above, and both the square pillars 41 and 43 have a square cross section. The game ball attracted by the permanent magnet 41b is pushed forward by the square pillar 43 without stopping on the outer wall 41a having the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c. It is separated from the permanent magnet 41 b against the magnetic force and falls toward the central raised surface portion 31 a of the front stage portion 31.

  In this way, the quadrangular columns 41 and 43 of the rotating bodies 40c and 40d on the front and rear sides of the sorting tool 40 are formed so as to have a square cross section, and the rotation speed of the quadrangular column 43 is set to be equal to that of the quadrangular column 41. By making the rotational speed lower than the above, as described above, the game ball can be rolled to the upper end opening 35a side of the guide passage 35 along with the rotation of both the square pillars 41 and 43. Without dropping on the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41, it is surely dropped from the outer wall portion 41a onto the central raised surface portion 31a of the front stage portion 31.

  As a result, it is more interesting to the player with respect to the movement of the game ball on the stage 30a by giving the smooth movement without stopping of the game ball on the stage 30a by the sorter 40 as described above. Can be given.

  Further, as described above, each of the square columns 41 and 43 on the front side and the rear side is configured by connecting a plurality of outer wall portions so as to have a quadrangular cross section at the outer peripheral wall thereof. 43, the rotation trajectory of the outer peripheral wall changes in a cross-sectional quadrilateral shape with the rotation of the respective square pillars. Therefore, the player can predict the arrival of the permanent magnets at the visually recognizable position from the rotation state of each quadrangular prism without directly viewing the permanent magnets.

  Thereby, it is possible to favorably give the player an interest in predicting whether or not the game ball attracted by the permanent magnet 41b is attracted by the permanent magnet 43b, and as a result, the stage as described above It is possible to further improve the interest in the movement of the game ball.

  According to the above, it is possible to predict the position of the permanent magnet and move the game ball on the outer peripheral wall of each of the front and rear rotating bodies without moving the game ball on the stage to the player. It is possible to provide a pachinko gaming machine that is more interesting by the movement of the game.

  In the first embodiment, as described above, the front rotating body 40c and the rear rotating body 40d have the front rectangular column 41 and the rear rectangular column 43. Therefore, the front rectangular column 41 and the rear rectangular column 43 are Thus, the number of the outer wall portions is set to the same minimum number, and both are configured so as to have a simple rectangular shape in cross section. As a result, in this case, the above-described operational effects can be achieved with a simple configuration common to the front square column 41 and the rear square column 43.

  Further, in the first embodiment, as described above, when the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41 is parallel to the outer wall portion 43a of the quadrangular column 43 and faces the outer wall portion 43a, the outer wall portion 41a is interposed between the outer wall portions 41a and 43a. The given interval G to be given is 9.51 (mm) and narrower than the outer diameter (11 (mm)) of the game ball, and the square column 41 is between the square column 43, The axial distance between the front and rear rotating bodies 40c and 40d is selected so as not to interfere with each other. For this reason, even if the front square column 41 corresponds to any outer wall portion of the plurality of outer wall portions and the outer wall portion of the plurality of outer wall portions of the rear square column 43, It is not caught between the quadrangular columns 41 and 43, and does not fall between the quadrangular columns 41 and 43.

  FIG. 10 shows a main part of a modification of the first embodiment. In this modification, the guide passage 36 is employed instead of the guide passage 35 described in the first embodiment. Unlike the guide passage 35, the guide passage 36 is formed in a straight line. The guide passage 36 is replaced by an upper end opening portion 36 a instead of the upper end opening portion 35 a of the rear passage portion 33. The upper surface 33a is opened upward from the central portion in the left-right direction. The guide passage 36 extends downward in a straight line from the upper end opening 36a and opens downward at the lower end opening 36b.

  Thus, the game ball moving rearward through the respective quadrangular columns 41 and 43 of the sorting tool 40 described in the first embodiment falls into the guide passage 36 from the upper end opening 36a, and the lower end opening. It is discharged from 36b to the back side of the game board 10.

In the modification, a winning sensor 37 is provided at an axially intermediate portion of the guide passage 36. As a result, the winning sensor 37 detects a game ball falling inside the guide passage 36 as a winning game ball. This means that the guide passage 36 and the winning sensor 37 function as a start chuck separately from the start chucker 60 described in the first embodiment. As described above, even in the game board including the guide passage 36 and the winning sensor 37 as the start chucker provided separately from the start chucker 60, the same function and effect as in the first embodiment can be achieved by providing the sorting accessory 40. Can be done.
(Second Embodiment)
FIG. 11 shows a main part of the second embodiment of the present invention. In the second embodiment, the rear rotating body 40g is employed in place of the rear rotating body 40d in the sorting tool 40 described in the first embodiment, and the rear rotating body 40g is The longitudinal triangular prism 49, the belt-like permanent magnet 49b, and the left and right side shaft portions 44a and 44b described in the first embodiment are configured.

  The triangular prism 49 is formed in a longitudinal shape so as to form a regular triangular shape in cross section by the three outer wall portions 49a to 49a, and the triangular prism 49 is formed at the both ends in the longitudinal direction, respectively. It is formed coaxially and integrally with the left and right side shaft portions 44a, 44b described in the embodiment. However, in the second embodiment, when the outer wall portion 49a of the triangular prism 49 is parallel to the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41 and faces the outer wall portion 41a, the gap between the outer wall portions 41a and 49a is As in the first embodiment, a predetermined gap G = 9.51 (mm) is given (see FIG. 13).

  As shown in FIG. 11, the strip-shaped permanent magnet 49b is fitted along the longitudinal direction of the center hole in the width direction of one outer wall 49a of the three outer walls 49a of the triangular prism 49, and this permanent magnet 49b. The surface of is facing outward. The permanent magnet 49b has the same outer dimensions and magnetic force as the permanent magnet 41b described in the first embodiment. Other configurations are the same as those in the first embodiment.

  In the second embodiment configured as described above, as in the first embodiment, when the spur gears 45 and 46 rotate in the same direction as the step motor 40f, the front and rear rotating bodies 40c and 40g The square column 41 and the triangular column 49 rotate in the same direction as the spur gears 45 and 46.

  In such a state, as in the first embodiment, the game ball adsorbed by the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c is moved along the clockwise direction of the quadrangular column 41. In a state where it is lifted by the permanent magnet 41b and rides on the one permanent magnet 41b, it moves to the triangular prism 49 side.

  In such a movement process, when the permanent magnet 49b reaches a position facing the front of the center accessory 30 as the triangular prism 49 rotates, the game ball on the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c is moved to the permanent magnet. It is adsorbed by 49b.

  Here, since the magnetic force of the permanent magnet 49b is stronger than the magnetic force of the one permanent magnet 41b in the same manner as the permanent magnet 43b of the rear rotating body 40g, the game ball attracted by the permanent magnet 49b is a quadrangular prism. With the rotation of the 41 and the triangular prism 49, after being separated from the one permanent magnet 41b against the attracting force, it moves upward and rearward while being attracted by the permanent magnet 49b. After that, the game ball falls into the guide passage 35 from the upper end opening 35a with the further rotation of the triangular prism 49. Thereafter, the game ball dropped in this way passes through the guide passage 35 and falls from the lower end opening 35b toward the front side and downward in the same manner as in the first embodiment. The game ball falling in this way has a possibility of winning a winning winning opening 61 of the start chucker 60 located below the gaming ball.

  Further, the rotational speed of the triangular prism 49 is lower than the rotational speed of the quadrangular prism 41 as in the quadrangular prism 43 described in the first embodiment. For this reason, when the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c is in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30, the one permanent magnet 49b of the rear rotating body 40g is similarly centered. There is a case where it is in a position facing the front of the.

  At this time, the game ball adsorbed by the one permanent magnet 41 b moves upward toward the triangular prism 49 side as the quadrangular column 41 rotates in the same manner as described above, but the permanent magnet 49 b also rotates the triangular column 49. Accordingly, it rotates rearward and upward. For this reason, even if the game ball attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b reaches a position facing upward, the permanent magnet 49b of the rear rotating body 40g is similarly positioned at the position facing the front of the center accessory 30. It is not already there and is in a position facing upwards.

  Therefore, as described above, the rotational speed of the triangular prism 49 is lower than the rotational speed of the quadrangular prism 41 and the triangular prism 49 has a regular triangular shape in cross section. Therefore, the game ball attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b is The rotating body 40c is pushed toward the front of the triangular prism 49 without stopping on the outer wall 41a having the one permanent magnet 41b, and is reliably separated from the one permanent magnet 41b against its attracting force. Then, it falls toward the central raised surface portion 31a of the front stage portion 31. The game ball falling in this way rolls according to the surface shape along the central raised surface portion 31a under the momentum, and, for example, falls from the central raised surface portion 31a to the start chucker 60 side.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the sorting accessory 40 is different from the first embodiment, and is different from the cross-sectional shape of the rear square column 43 instead of the rear square column 43. A triangular prism 49 having a cross-sectional shape is provided.

  However, even though the triangular prism 49 has a cross-sectional shape different from that of the rear rectangular column 43, the outer peripheral wall of the triangular prism 49 is different from the circular cross-sectional shape, and the three outer wall portions intersecting each other. Thus, the rear side quadrangular prism 43 having an outer peripheral wall composed of four outer wall portions intersecting each other is only different in the number of outer wall portions intersecting each other.

  Moreover, as described above, the rotational speed of the triangular prism 49 is lower than the rotational speed of the front square pillar 41. For this reason, when the outer wall 41a having the permanent magnet 41b in the quadrangular column 41 is in a position facing upward, the outer wall 49a having the permanent magnet 4bb in the triangular column 49 is in a position facing the front of the center accessory 30. There is no limitation, and there may be a position facing the upper side.

  Therefore, as described above, when the game ball rolls toward the quadrangular column 41 on the front raised surface portion 31a of the front stage portion 31, the game ball is attracted by the one permanent magnet 41b of the front rotating body 40c. If the outer wall portion 49a having the permanent magnet 49b in the rear rotating body 40g faces the front of the center accessory 30 when it moves from the upper side to the triangular prism 49 side with the rotation of the quadrangular column 41, the one side The game ball attracted by the permanent magnet 41b is attracted by the permanent magnet 49b, rides on the permanent magnet, and falls from the upper end opening 34a into the rear guide passage 35.

  On the other hand, when the game ball moves to the triangular prism 49 side as described above, the outer wall portion 49a having the permanent magnet 49b of the rear rotating body 40g is not at the position facing the front of the center accessory 30 but at the position facing the upper side. If the rotational speed of the triangular prism 49 is lower than the rotational speed of the quadrangular prism 41 as described above, and the quadrangular prism 41 and the triangular prism 49 have different cross-sectional shapes as described above, Since the quadrangular column 41 and the triangular column 49 are configured to cross each other at their adjacent outer wall portions, the game ball adsorbed by the one permanent magnet 41b becomes permanent magnet 49b in the rear rotating body 40g. The front stage is pushed toward the front of the triangular prism 49 without being stopped on the outer wall part 49a having the above-mentioned and separated from the one permanent magnet 41b against the attractive force. It falls toward the 31 of the central elevated surface portion 31a.

  As described above, in the second embodiment, the quadrangular column 41 of the front rotating body 40c and the triangular column 49 of the rear rotating unit 40g in the sorting accessory 40 are formed to have a cross-sectional square and a cross-sectional regular triangle, respectively. In addition, by making the rotational speed of the triangular prism 49 lower than the rotational speed of the quadrangular prism 41, the upper end opening 35a of the guide passage 35 is caused to move the game ball with each rotation of the quadrangular prism 41 and the triangular prism 49 as described above. The game ball is surely dropped from the outer wall portion 41a onto the central raised surface portion 31a of the front stage portion 31 without stopping on the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41. I made it.

  As a result, by giving a smooth movement without stopping of the game ball on the stage 30a by the sorter 40 as described above, the movement of the game ball on the stage 30a is similar to the first embodiment. On the other hand, the player can be more interesting.

  In the second embodiment, as described above, when the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41 is parallel to the outer wall portion 49a of the triangular column 49 and faces the outer wall portion 49a, it is applied between the outer wall portions 41a and 49a. And the rectangular column 41 does not interfere with the triangular column 49 so that the predetermined gap G is smaller than the outer diameter (11 (mm)) of 9.51 (mm) and the game ball. Thus, the axial interval between the quadrangular prism 41 and the triangular prism 49 is selected. For this reason, the game ball is not caught between the quadrangular column 41 and the triangular column 49, or falls between the quadrangular column 41 and the triangular column 49.

  Further, in the second embodiment, the front rotating body 40c and the rear rotating body 40g have the front rectangular column 41 and the rear triangular column 49, respectively, so that the outer walls of the front rectangular column 41 and the rear triangular column 49, respectively. The number of parts is three and four. For this reason, the front-side square column 41 and the rear-side triangular column 49 are configured to have a simple quadrangular cross-section while the numbers of the respective outer wall portions are different from each other. As a result, the above-described effects can be achieved based on such a simple configuration of the front rectangular column 41 and the rear triangular column 49. Other functions and effects are substantially the same as those of the first embodiment.

  FIG. 14 shows a main part of a modification of the second embodiment. In this modification, the triangular prism 49 of the sorting accessory 40 described in the second embodiment is reduced in cross section so as to have a regular triangular shape similar to the triangular prism 49 in the second embodiment. Thus, it replaces with the three outer wall parts 49a, and has the three outer wall parts 49c. Further, in this modification, the spur gear 46 of the sorting tool 40 described in the second embodiment is reduced in cross section in the same manner as the triangular prism 49, and the spur gear in the second embodiment is used. 46 has a similar shape. For this reason, in this modification, the rotational speed of the spur gear 46 is higher than the rotational speed of the spur gear 45.

  However, also in this modification, when the outer wall portion 41a of the quadrangular column 41 is parallel to the outer wall portion 49c of the triangular column 49 and faces the outer wall portion 49c, a predetermined interval is provided between the outer wall portions 41a and 49c. Similarly to the above, G is smaller than 9.51 (mm) and the outer diameter (11 (mm)) of the game ball, and the quadrangular columns 41 interfere with each other with the triangular column 49. The axial interval between the quadrangular column 41 and the triangular column 49 is selected so as not to be present. Other configurations are the same as those of the second embodiment.

  In this modified example configured as described above, as described above, the cross section of the triangular prism 49 of the rear rotating body 40g and the cross section of the spur gear 46 in the sorting member 40 are described in the second embodiment. The cross section of the triangular prism 49 of the rear rotating body 40g and the cross section of the spur gear 46 are similarly reduced, and the predetermined distance G and the axial distance are selected in the same manner as in the second embodiment. Has been.

  Thereby, the triangular prism 49 in this modification plays the same role as the triangular prism 49 described in the second embodiment with the quadrangular prism 41. As a result, as described above, unlike the second embodiment, in this modification, even if the rotational speed of the spur gear 46 is higher than the rotational speed of the spur gear 45, the second embodiment is substantially the same as the second embodiment. Similar effects can be achieved.

In carrying out the present invention, the following various modifications are possible without being limited to the above-described embodiments and modifications.
(1) In the first (or second) embodiment, the gear train is arranged so that the rotational speed of the quadrangular prism 41 is the same as or slower than the rotational speed of the quadrangular prism 43 (or triangular prism 49). Even if the gear ratio of both the spur gears 45 and 46 of 40e is selected, the same effect as the first embodiment and its modification (or the second embodiment and its modification) can be achieved. Note that the gear ratio described above may be changed in any way when the rotational speeds of the quadrangular prism 41 and the quadrangular prism 43 (or the triangular prism 49) are different from each other.
(2) The quadrangular columns 41 and 43 described above are not limited to a square cross-sectional shape, but may be any cross-sectional rectangular shape, and the triangular prism 49 described above is not limited to a cross-sectional regular triangular shape, but a cross-sectional shape. Any triangular shape may be used.
(3) Instead of the quadrangular prism 41 described above, a triangular prism 49 may be employed, and for example, a pentagonal prism or a hexagonal prism may be employed. Further, in place of the quadrangular prism 43 described above, for example, a pentagonal prism or a hexagonal prism may be adopted. In general, instead of the quadrangular column 41, the quadrangular column 43, or the triangular column 49 described above, a rectangular column main body may be employed.

Also by the above, the same effect as the said 1st or 2nd embodiment can be achieved.
(4) The number of permanent magnets (less than the number of outer wall portions) of the front side rotating body 40c or the rear side rotating body 40d (or 40g) and the outer wall portion on which the permanent magnets are provided may be different. Further, instead of the center hole in the width direction of the outer wall of the front rotating body 40c or the rear rotating body 40d (or 40g), for example, on the outer wall of the front rotating body 40c or the rear rotating body 40d (or 40g). A left and right central hole may be formed, and a permanent magnet may be fitted into the left and right central hole.
(5) In the sorting tool 40, the left and right support walls 40a and 40b are arranged so as to integrally extend upward from the left and right ends of the recess 32a provided in the middle stage portion 32 of the stage 30a. You may make it form integrally.
(6) Instead of the gear train 40e and the step motor 40f, the front rotating body 40c and the rear rotating body 40d (or 40g) are independently rotated by respective rotational drive sources such as separate geared motors. You may make it make it.

Further, the rotational drive source may be of any configuration as long as the front rotary body 40c and the rear rotary body 40d (or 40g) are rotated, and the drive pattern described above is the front rotary body 40c. The rear rotating body 40d (or 40g) may be configured to rotate at the same or different rotational speed.
(7) Unlike the first (or second) embodiment, the magnetic force of the permanent magnet of the rear rotating body 40d (or 40g) may not be stronger than the magnetic force of the permanent magnet of the front rotating body 40c. For example, it may be the same as or substantially the same as the magnetic force of the permanent magnet of the front rotating body 40c.

  Here, the number of permanent magnets of the rear rotating body 40d (or 40g) is less than the number of outer wall portions of the quadrangular columns (or triangular columns) of the rear rotating body 40d (or 40g), and the number of permanent magnets of the front rotating body 40c is small. The number of permanent magnets may be equal to or less than the number of outer wall portions of the quadrangular columns of the front rotating body 40c.
