Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to automatic control and a management bag layer for gaming machines such as pachinko machines.

Conventionally, in pachinko parlors, etc., there is a device that automatically collects data such as the number of additional balls and balls released from each gaming machine, as well as centrally controls and manages automatic stoppages, automatic replenishment of game balls, etc. It is more used.

By using such a control management device, it is possible to centrally manage a large number of gaming machines at once, which saves labor, and also improves service to players because game balls are continuously and automatically replenished. I was able to do it.

However, ``This kind of conventional control management system did not have a device to check whether each part was working properly, so once something went wrong, it was time-consuming to find the abnormal part.
There was a drawback that recovery was delayed, service to players deteriorated, and the operating rate of gaming machines also decreased. The purpose of the present invention is to
If there is an abnormality in the supply of game balls to the game machine, such as when the game balls are being replenished even though they should be in a stopped state, or when they are not being replenished even though they should be, this is detected and displayed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a control management device for a gaming machine that is capable of quickly discovering and recovering from an abnormal state.

The invention will now be explained by way of example embodiments shown in the drawings. In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates one of the many pachinko machines installed in the gaming hall. A prize ball tank 2 is provided at the upper part of the back of the pachinko machine, and above the tank 2, the lower end of a tubular pachinko ball supply path 3 is open. The supply route 3 is provided with an opening/closing detector 4 that serves both as a switch for opening and closing the supply route and as a detector for detecting the number of balls that encounter the supply route. Game balls are supplied to the tank 2 through an open/close detector turtle. Open and close.

Detector 4 is constructed as shown in FIG. That is, in Fig. 3, a locking cam T having a star-shaped fin having a one-needle semicircular notch on the periphery of the fin and a locking step 7a is fixed to the rotation track S. A part of the edge of the fin extends into the supply channel 3 from the slit 8a of the supply channel. A permanent magnet wing is fixed to the surface of the star-shaped crab on the side opposite to the mounting side of the cam 7, and a reed switch eel is fixed at a position opposite to the rotation locus of the magnet. Therefore, when there are game balls carried in the supply route, the balls fall one by one into the notches of the star-shaped ring 6, and the weight of the balls causes the star-shaped ring to
Rotate ~ Every time io balls pass through the supply route, the star-shaped ring turtle rotates once, and each time, the magnet arm passes in the vicinity of the reed switch vine and activates the switch. It is designed to emit a pulse signal. However, in the illustrated state, the locking Katatomi 2, which is substantially integrated with the plunger turtle of the electromagnetic force 0 fixed to the left side of the star-shaped ring 6, is engaged with the cam 7. By engaging with the protrusion a, the rotation of the star-shaped theory 6 is prevented, and the passage of the ball in the supply path is also prevented.
When moved to the left in the figure, the star-shaped roller becomes rotatable and allows game balls to pass through within the supply path 3. In other words, the component parts including the star ring @, the electromagnet gun, and the locking piece constitute a switch that opens and closes the supply route crab, and the component part including the magnet 8 and IJ switch 9 passes through the supply route 3. It constitutes a counting section that counts the number of game balls and issues a counting signal.The plunger military turtle slides to the left or right depending on the direction of the electromagnet 8 turtle's excitation current. After working hard, the plunger is attracted by the permanent magnet built into the electromagnet, and the turtle maintains the above sliding position against the elasticity of the Samane Tatami 3. Also, the plunger, the turtle, moves to the right side. After sliding, it is a so-called latching solenoid that maintains the above-mentioned sliding position by the elasticity of the prize ball 13. In Fig. 1, the prize ball tank 21
This is the empty ball detection switch (hereinafter also referred to as "empty contact") mother 4
is provided.

Empty contact 1 - It detects whether game balls should be replenished into the prize ball tank 2 according to the amount of game balls in the tank 2, and remains open while there are balls in the tank 2. , it closes when the ball runs out.

is provided.

The signal processing system of each part explained above has a configuration similar to that of a general information processing system, as shown in FIG.

That is, each pachinko machine 1, each medal machine 71, "Tamako machine 72,"
The data output signals from the medal lending machine 73 and the prize counter 74 are input to the input/output control device 75.
It is controlled by a control signal from 6. The input/output control device 75 is connected to a main OPU 77 and a sub CPU 78 via a terminal interface 76.
Each CPU 77, 78 is connected to a memory 79.
The operation consoles 18, 19, printer 2, screen 22
, 23 and 24 are connected to the main CPU 77. The details of the electrical connection between each pachinko machine 1 and the input/output control device 75 are as shown in FIG.

That is, "In FIG. 8, a series branch consisting of the electromagnet IQ and the empty contact 14 is connected between the line 81 common to each gaming machine and the solenoid control signal terminal 82 of the control device 75, A diode 8Q is connected in parallel to the electromagnet 0 to allow current to flow in the opposite direction.The reed switch 9 is connected between the common line 81 and the replenishment ball count signal 83, and the common line 81 A counting reed switch 16a in the ejected ball counter 16 is connected between the ejected ball counting signal terminal 84 and the ejected ball counting signal terminal 84.Next, the operation of the present invention will be explained.However, in the following explanation, " The term "balls put out" refers to balls released into the player's hands as prize balls, and the counting signal for the number of balls put out is replaced by an additional ball counting signal from the reed switch 9. Further, "balls received" refers to balls consumed by the player, and the counting signal of the balls received is replaced by a signal of the number of balls discharged from the reed switch turtle 6a. First, when the power switch 25 (see Fig. 4) is turned on, each part starts, and the switch 25
The power indicator light located near the will light up. The key switch 26 in FIG. 4 is turned on only when setting constants, operating the test switches 52, 53, and 54, and printing data related to ball lending machines and prize exchanges, and is turned off in other cases. put.

The changeover switch 4 in Fig. 4 is used to switch between controlling and managing the pachinko machine or the token machine, and the contents of the changeover are as follows: '1' {2} constant setting, {31 test switch ``{4' level difference.

When the preparation for operation is completed in this way, the simultaneous replenishment key 29 of the console i8 is pressed to replenish game balls to each gaming machine at the same time. The program is designed to operate in the order shown in Figure 9 from the time the power is turned on until the simultaneous replenishment is completed. First, when the power switch is turned on, if there are no game balls in the prize ball tank 2 and the empty contact 14 is closed, the indicator light of the corresponding machine number on the screen 22 lights up, and if there are game balls in the tank 2, the contact turtle 4 is closed. When opened, the indicator light of the corresponding machine number on the screen 22 goes out. Next, when you press the simultaneous replenishment key 29, the indicator light lights up, and the counting data up to that point, ie, the number of balls added, the number of balls discharged, the number of balls rented, the number of prizes exchanged, and even the error code are cleared all at once. In addition, L simultaneous supply key 2
The operation in step 9 shall be enabled only after stopping the replenishment and turning off the power.Next, the 16 gaming machines are considered as one unit, and the electromagnets for opening and closing the supply path of each of these gaming machines are 101 A set pulse is applied twice while scanning.Each set pulse has a duration of about 10 seconds, for example, as shown in Fig. 11, and the reference voltage level is set to about +15V. The set pulse is generated by using an oscillator in the CPU 7 or the CPU 78 as a signal generator at predetermined intervals sufficient to replenish the prize ball tank 2 with a predetermined number of game balls. The electromagnet iQ is excited in the positive direction through the empty contact turtle, the plunger head 1 is attracted to the left in FIG. Game balls are replenished into the prize ball tank 2, and the switch 9 emits a ball counting signal.However, for some reason, the balls are not replenished. If the additional ball abnormality indicator light 6S (see each figure) lights up and prompts you to take care of the abnormality.Even if the balls are replenished, the number of additional balls set in advance by operating the constant setting knob 48 and the numeric key Grave Crab continues. When the number of additional balls has been reached, a reset signal of a negative level is applied via the electromagnet rich skin diode crab pupil of the gaming machine that has reached the number of additional balls (at this time, the empty contact turtle W is already open due to the supply of balls). As shown in the electromagnetic diagram, the sine wave alternating current is full-wave rectified, and the overall internal speed is set to about 3 hs.This reset signal excites the electromagnet in the opposite direction. Even if the plunger mother turtle returns to its original position, the rotation of the star ring 6 is blocked as shown in Figure S, and the replenishment of balls is prevented.Even in this way, the empty contact force 4 opens due to the replenishment of balls. Even though the corresponding machine number display on the second base screen goes out, this ends the supply of supplies all at once.
By the way, even if the above reset signal is being output, the empty contact may not be open for some reason. In that case, the screen mine turtle's empty point abnormality indicator light 66 lights up and says "
Promote troubleshooting. When the simultaneous replenishment of each game machine is completed in this way, automatic replenishment is switched to and games can be played on each machine.

The balls consumed by the player are counted as ejected balls by the counter electric needle, and the counting pulse signal is sent from the lj-de switch turtle a to the input/output control device. By entering the hole, the balls in the prize ball tank are delivered to the player's hand as prize balls.Tank 2
The number of balls held within is decreasing. Then, when there are no more balls in tank 2, the empty contact point closes. As already explained with reference to FIG. 11, a set signal is emitted from the electromagnet control signal terminal flea 2 of the input/output control device 75 after a certain scanning time. A predetermined number of balls are added to the electromagnetic turtle 0, which forms part of the ball, as in the previous case. The number of additional balls is counted from the reed switch 9'. Is this counting signal the input/output control device? It is sent to the supply ball count signal terminal 83 of No. 5. The signal of the number of ejected balls and the signal of the number of additional balls to be replenished thus counted are stored in the memory 791 each time. To recap the above operation, it is fine as long as balls are being added normally, but it is also a bad idea if something goes wrong and V balls continue to be replenished even though they should have been stopped. There may be cases where balls are not replenished even though they should be replenished.

In such a case, according to the present invention, the additional ball abnormality is notified by the following operating sequence. First of all, as shown in the Momoren Gun Turtle Diagram, after the lj set signal technique is issued to stop the supply of balls, the additional ball counting signal is sent before the subsequent set signal S is issued. This is the case when the number is issued twice or more.In this case, the counting signal A is issued because the game balls are being replenished even though the supply of game balls should be stopped by the !J set signal R. However, the reason why the counting signal A was set more than twice during this period is because depending on the timing of the reset signal, even if each part is properly activated, the "reset signal" may be issued due to a delay in the operation of the electromagnet. This is because there may be cases where the counting signal is issued only once.As shown in the second gun figure of the additional ball abnormality, the electromagnet official sends a set signal through the empty contact Tomizuru to add balls. This is a case where the additional ball counting signal is not emitted even once after adding 8 and before the next set signal is emitted.In this case, "the set signal S is added to the electromagnet through the empty contact gun". Even though a replenishment order has been issued, no additional balls are being replenished, so no additional ball counting signal is issued.In the case of such an additional ball abnormality, the screen cod turtle additional ball abnormality indicator light $flea is displayed. It lights up and displays the corresponding number on the screen Tsurumai 1 to prompt troubleshooting.Next, the ejected ball count ``If balls are normally added to the additional ball count, and the game is being played normally.'' There is no problem with this, but if illegal games are played, the number of balls ejected, the number of balls entered, and the number of additional balls will be abnormal. needs to be checked.

According to the present invention, such abnormalities can also be automatically discovered.
To do this, first, the ball output abnormal value setting section 44 of the operation console 19
, arbitrarily select the number of balls to reach with the knob 42,
The number of balls to be subtracted per minute is arbitrarily selected using the knob 43.The above-mentioned number of balls to be reached means that even though it is impossible to reach this number during normal operation, the number of balls that are rolled out per unit time due to fraud etc. If there is an abnormally large number of balls, this is the standard number of balls in order to consider it as fraud.
As shown in FIG. 15, the number of balls to be replenished at one time is indicated by a circle, and the time required for it is indicated by to. Each curved green with the peak at the time of to is a line corresponding to the set value of the number of subtracted balls, and the one with the highest peak value is set to 75.Then, the lower lines are 85, 100, and 1201 in order. The case where the setting value is set is shown here. However, the change over time according to such a setting value is
controlled within. The number of balls reached is ``If this is Tn, it is set to a value larger than the peak value of the line corresponding to the set value of the number of subtracted balls.Currently, it is assumed that the number of subtracted balls is set to 75. If a game is being played, the actual addition of balls will occur after the line representing the number of subtracted balls, 75, falls to 0. However, if the number of balls put out becomes abnormally large due to fraud, the actual ball addition operation is performed at an earlier point in time. For example, as shown in FIG. As shown by the chain line 75A in Fig. 5, from the time t, the level of the line 75 reached at that point is controlled again to represent a line similar to the line 75, and the level represented by the line 75 is finally reached. At this point, the ball output abnormality indicator light 5 on the screen 24 lights up to alert you to take appropriate measures.The various constants can be set using the setting knobs on the operation console 9. Turtle fin and operation table turtle 8
This is done by operating the numeric keys 28, continuous selection keys 35, etc.

If you change the knob 48 to "number of stops 1" and operate the numeric keys, the number of stops will be set uniformly for all games.
If you switch to "Additional Balls" and operate the numeric keys, the total will be 1.
The number of additional balls per round is set. Knob 40 is "out"
By operating the numerical keys in accordance with the number, the number of balls per ball output pulse signal is set. Therefore, if the counter is to emit one pulse at an appropriate time when a ball is put out, n0 will be set using the numerical keys. Knob 40 for the same machine
Switch to "Balls in" and set the number of balls in each ball incoming pulse signal by operating the numeric keys. Turn knob 40 to "rental number"
By operating the numerical keys in accordance with , the number of balls to be rented per pulse signal from the ball lending machine 72 and the amount to be paid are set. knob 4
By adjusting 0 to the "number of prize exchanges" and operating the numeric keys, the number of balls and amount of money per pulse signal from the prize exchange machine are set. When the knob 40 is set to the "rental machine number" and the numerical keys are operated, a number is set for each machine. In this case, once the first Takarai machine number is set, it can be automatically and consecutively set for each Takarai machine thereafter. When you set knob 4G to "prize counter" and operate the numerical keys, a number is set for each counter. In this case as well, automatic continuous setting is possible. By adjusting the knob QQ to the "machine number" and operating the numerical keys, a number is set for each gaming machine. In this case, continuous settings are always automatically made. knob 40
If you operate the numerical keys according to "island unit", the machine number will be divided into arbitrary blocks. This is useful when printing totals and other information for each block. When the knob 0 is set to "constant clear", all set constants are cleared. If you do not want to set constants, turn knob 40 to OFF.
”. Next, the key group 32 on the console i81
The operations and operations of 37 to 37 will be explained. The confirmation key 32 is used to confirm how far it will be before reaching the stop, and after first specifying the desired platform by operating the numeric keys 28, the confirmation key 32 is operated. When the numerical key 28 is operated, as shown in FIG.
Each data of the designated table is displayed on the screen 23.Next, by operating the key 32, the numerical value of the difference ball is displayed on the screen 23 as shown in Figure 6 of the wing. If it is displayed as shown in Figure 16, it means that special additions have been made three times, and the number of special additions is set to 300. Since "1230" is displayed, "Another -70" is displayed.
You can see that it will stop. The forced stop key 33 is used to forcibly stop the game regardless of the set value for the number of stops, and the key 33 is operated after specifying a predetermined machine by operating the numerical keys. In this case, it cannot be considered a cessation of Islam. The buzzer stop key 34 is used to stop the alarm buzzer. The conditions for buzzer dust are {11 AC power abnormality, ■DC power abnormality, '3} Additional ball abnormality, '4 Contact abnormality, '5 leg ball abnormality to '6' Paper cut, [7] Discontinuation occurrence. In these cases, each corresponding indicator light in Fig. 7 lights up.Then, if you press key 3 & when {1}, ■, the buzzer will stop, but unless the abnormality returns, indicator light 63? 6 Mother remains lit. Legs, ■
, [5} and '7-, the buzzer will stop if you press key 34, and the indicator light 65 663 87, S9 will go out. If you press key 8 in '6}, the buzzer will stop. It will stop, but the indicator light will remain lit unless the paper is replenished.Continuous key 3, Q-stop cancel key used to display each machine's message continuously on screen 3. 36! Used when commanding a table that is currently in suspension to cancel its suspension.

In this case, enter the machine number you want to cancel using the numeric key 2.
After specifying with the key, operate key 36. Stopping is valid only on designated stands. By operating the key 36, the difference between the number of balls out and the number of balls in the designated machine is set to oj. ``Specify the machine number using number key 2, then press key 3 blue.

In this case, the difference between the number of balls put out and the number of balls put in at that point is considered to be "0" ~ The game will be stopped again when the difference between the number of balls put out and the number of balls put in reaches the special additional number of balls in subsequent games. become. Next, the action of the printer 2 turtle will be explained.

Various types of data to be printed can be specified depending on the purpose. First, when attempting to obtain data regarding the standoff difference, set the print designation knob 39 to the "standdown difference". Here, the machine constant difference is a value specified in advance as a constant value regarding the difference between the number of balls put out and the number of balls entered.
9 is done by operating the numeric key 28 in accordance with the machine standard difference j.Furthermore, if you press the print key turtle wing, it will display the number of machines that have reached the machine standard difference. are printed in order of machine number.Next, turn knob 39 to select the number to borrow.

When the fourth print key is operated in accordance with the number of prizes, the number of balls to be rented, the amount of balls to be paid, and the total of these for each ball rental machine, the number of balls to be exchanged for prizes, the amount of exchange, and the total of these for each of the prize exchange machines are printed. Align knob 39 with the "stopping base" and press print key turtle 1.
When you operate ``, the machine number that has been discontinued, the number of discontinuances, the number of special additions, the number of balls out, the number of balls in, and the number of these beautiful balls will be printed in the order of machine number.

Set the knob 39 to "Total" and operate the print key Kametomi to display the ball output, the ball in, the difference between these balls, the ball output rate, the amount of balls you have, the number of balls you have, the number of balls you can rent, the number of prize balls, and the number of balls you can rent. Tamakin ``Prize Tamakin t''
The total of each of these beautiful balls is printed.

When you set knob 39 to "Comprehensive" and operate the print key turtle, the 1st Army? As shown in the figure, all the machine numbers, the number of balls put out, the number of balls entered in each machine, the difference between these numbers, the subtotal for each island unit, and the total sum are printed on the printing paper 88. .

If you have both a pachinko machine and a medal machine, each machine will be printed separately. Not only in the case of the general display, but also in the case of each of the above-mentioned printing, the date set by dial 3 and the hours and minutes according to the built-in clock are printed on the right shoulder of the printing paper. Printing of the various data described above can also be performed automatically.

For example, if you turn on the automatic print switch on the control console, you may encounter an additional ball abnormality or an empty contact abnormality.
Each time an abnormality occurs, the corresponding machine number is printed in sequence. In this case, the type of each error is the error code display box of Printing Paper Ha@? (Refer to Figure 17), a code number (for example, 3 for an additional ball abnormality, 4 for an empty contact abnormality, and 5 for an out-of-ball abnormality) is printed.Additionally, in the case of an abnormality in the mother ball, ~ "These differences are also printed.Next, when you turn on the automatic printing switch 4 for the machines that have stopped, the number of machines that have stopped, the number of strikes, the special additional number, the number of balls entered, and the difference balls are automatically printed. be done.

Also, set the scheduled automatic print switch &9 to ``Pachinko'' or ``Pachinko''.

If any one of the "medals" is set, the comprehensive data regarding the pachinko machine or the pachinko island and the medal machine will be printed as shown in FIG. 7 every time a preset time arrives. To set the time on the clock, turn on the hour and minute switch 45, then press the "1" key in the numeric key group to set the first minute, and press the "2" key to set the tenth minute. This is done by pressing the "3" key. If you hold down each key, it will automatically count up. After completing the time setting, turn off the switch 45. Pressing the "C" key in the numerical key group cancels the calendar number.

In addition, when the constant setting dial 40 is turned off, press "C".
When you press the key, the previous data will disappear and the number of abort settings and the hour and minute will be displayed. The lighting of the machine number on the screen 22 is carried out under the conditions shown in Figure 0.

In other words, the situation is either "forced stoppage" or "supply stoppage".
And when the empty contact is on, the corresponding machine number lights up, and when there is no stop, forced stop, or replenishment stop, and the empty contact is on, the corresponding machine number lights up. Flashes at regular intervals. Other than that, the lights are off. When a certain machine is stopped, other equipment at that machine, such as a motor in an electric pachinko machine, may be automatically stopped.

In addition, in the case of the present invention, since not only numbers but also vague characters such as fuhiragana, katakana, etc. are used for printing, it is necessary to use predetermined characters on the printer's character ring. The objectives described in can be achieved.
