Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a prize ball rectification and delivery device for a pachinko machine, and more specifically, the prize balls supplied from the prize ball storage and supply section are transferred to the downstream prize balls. The present invention relates to a rectifying and sending out device for sending out prize balls in an aligned state to the ejection section side.

[Conventional technology]

As a reward for a winning (gaming level winning) that occurs during a game in a pachinko machine, a predetermined number of prize balls are ejected and provided to the player (ball tray). Regarding the configuration related to storing and discharging prize balls, on the back side of the pachinko machine, there is a storage tank that stores a considerable number of prize balls, starting from the upstream side, and a plurality of prize balls received from this tank are lined up and sent out. A rectifying gutter is arranged, and a sending gutter is arranged to send out prize balls that have passed through the rectifying gutter to a downstream prize ball discharging device. Note that, downstream of this prize ball ejecting device, a discharge path is formed that connects to each of the upper and lower ball trays on the front of the pachinko machine.

Regarding the above-mentioned prize ball storage and discharge configuration, one of the important technical matters is that it is essential to be able to maintain smooth delivery at all times by avoiding clogging of prize balls, poor circulation, etc.

In other words, it is desirable for the storage tank to have as large a storage capacity as possible, and the ball outlet is set to an opening width commensurate with the capacity, so that a plurality of prize balls can be easily distributed. .
On the other hand, in the rectifying gutter, in order to receive the multiple prize balls naturally flowing out from the storage tank over as wide a range as possible, and then naturally aligning them and flowing them out,
A ball receiving part with a width that matches the ball outlet of the storage tank is formed on the upstream side, and a double row of rectifying channels is formed in parallel downstream from this ball receiving part, so that excessive ball pressure does not act on the downstream side. They are laid horizontally at a generally gentle slope, and are devised so that they can be smoothly connected to the next delivery gutter while remaining in a double row state.

On the other hand, the prize ball discharging device, on the premise that prize balls are received from the sending gutter, inserts a predetermined number of prize balls (ball filling) and discharges (ball cutting) in each operation corresponding to the establishment of the entered prize. ) are performed alternately, and in connection with this, the prize balls on the upstream side flow by a predetermined number and stand still for a while. For this reason, in order to maintain smooth flow of prize balls on the upstream side at all times, the device requires that the ball case and ball storage gutter, which are the counting and storage members for prize balls, have a double-row path that matches the delivery gutter. is said to be the most suitable.

To summarize, regarding the winning ball storage and discharge route of a pachinko machine, if the aforementioned storage tank is installed, it is recommended that the rectifying gutter and delivery gutter be of a double-path type in order to maintain a good and smooth flow of balls. It is considered to be optimal, and it is also important that the prize ball ejecting device has a similar double-path type to ensure equal discharge and flow of prize balls in both rows. However, if both gutters are arranged in a single row, ball clogging will occur between the ball outlet of the storage tank and the ball receiving part of the rectifying gutter, which will not only prevent the rectification of prize balls but also prevent them from flowing downstream. It stops completely. In addition, if the prize ball ejecting device is configured in a single row for a dual-row delivery path, no matter which delivery path you try to receive the prize balls from, ball clogging or poor accommodation (accommodation of less than a constant number) will occur. At the same time, problems such as poor flow of prize balls in the delivery path and one-sided passage occurred, making it impossible to implement in either case.

[Problem to be solved by the invention]

With the above-mentioned technical background, in recent pachinko machines, one of the settings for the game content is to change and set the number of prize balls in advance for the safe balls that enter the winning section at each position on the game board. Proposals have been made to separate and discharge balls that have won many individual awards and balls that have won a few individual awards. Technical examples related to prize ball storage and discharge according to this proposal can be broadly classified as follows: (1) On the premise that the rectifying gutter, sending gutter, and prize ball ejecting device are all two-row type, one storage path of the ball case. An opening/closing control means is attached to the storage path to appropriately separate and discharge the multiple prize balls from both storage paths and the small number of prize balls from one storage path.

(2) In the same two-row format as in (1) above, a separate opening/closing regulation means is attached to the middle stage of the ball case, so that a large number of balls can be awarded when both storage channels are fully open, and a small number of balls can be awarded when the lower part is open. A format that separates and discharges prize balls as appropriate.

(3) On the premise that both gutters are of the 3-row type, the prize ball discharge device can be used to separate the 2-row ball case and the 1-row ball case, or to arrange them in 3 rows in parallel, and to remove a large number of balls from the 2-row ball case. A method of separately discharging individual prize balls and a small number of prize balls from a single-row ball case has been adopted and is being implemented in each pachinko machine.

However, in any of these formats, complexity and size cannot be avoided, especially in the formats (1) and (3) above.
During actual gaming, the ratio of the number of ejected balls for a large number of winning balls and for a small number of winning balls varies considerably depending on the time of day, so that a one-sided flow state of winning balls is likely to occur in both troughs, and this is caused by Therefore, ball clogging often occurs in the ball joint connection between the storage tank and the rectifying gutter. In addition, in the above-mentioned format (2), balls are likely to become clogged in both gutters when a small number of winning balls are stored after being ejected each time.

Therefore, as an example of solving the technical problems related to the prize ball ejecting device of each type mentioned above, if a new prize ball ejecting device of the prize ball single row rectified ejection type is proposed, when implementing it, the prize ball storage and ejection In this case, a single track for prize balls is absolutely required upstream of the prize ball discharge device. However, in reality, the rectifying gutter cannot be made into a single channel, and there is no suitable solution other than making the delivery gutter into a single channel. Therefore, in such technology, technical correspondence related to communication between the double-row path and single-row path in both gutter comrades, changing rectification of prize balls from double-row to single-row, etc. is extremely important, and it is necessary to skillfully achieve this. A technology that allows rectification and delivery of prize balls that can be changed is a necessary issue.

The present invention has been newly proposed in order to suitably solve the above-mentioned problems, and is based on the premise that it is possible to implement a prize ball discharging device that receives and discharges prize balls in a single row rectification state. The prize balls received from the prize ball storage supply section at the upstream end are changed from a double row state to a single row state and rectified so that they can be sent to the prize ball discharge device side,
To provide a prize ball rectification and delivery device for a pachinko machine which maintains a smooth and stable flow of prize balls and avoids ball clogging, poor circulation, etc.

[Means to solve the problem]

The present invention overcomes the previously mentioned problems and
As a technical means to achieve the above object, in the prize ball delivery path that connects the prize ball storage and supply section on the upstream side to the prize ball single row discharge section on the downstream side on the back side of the pachinko machine, supply from the prize ball storage and supply section. A double-row parallel rectifying channel receives the prize balls and allows them to flow down naturally along a gentle slope, sequentially arranging them and sending them out in a daisy chain state, and a communication channel is provided as appropriate to the downstream end outlet of both of the rectifying channels. A single row of delivery channels are connected to each other through a single row of prize balls, and a single row of delivery channels are connected to the prize ball single row discharge section. A ball-feeding rectifying member in which ratchet-shaped rectifying plates for prize balls in the path are arranged with appropriate displacement differences in the rotation direction is rotatably provided by ball pressure, and this ball-feeding rectifying member distributes prize balls to each rectifying plate. Under conditions that allow the balls to rotate in response to downward pressure, the winning balls flowing down the rectifying channels in each row are taken in alternately one by one with a predetermined timing difference in advance order and sent into the communication channel. A means is adopted in which the particles are fed into the delivery path in a single row.

[Effect]

In the prize ball rectification and delivery device of the present invention, the ball feeding rectifying member is connected to the prize ball rectifying member at the connecting portion between the double row rectification path connected to the prize ball storage supply section and the single row delivery path connected to the prize ball single row discharge section. Under the ball pressure of This is used to change and rectify the flow from a double-row state to a single-row state.

〔Example〕

Next, a preferred embodiment embodying the prize ball rectification and delivery device for a pachinko machine according to the present invention will be described with reference to the attached drawings.

In the pachinko machine P posted in this example, the first
As schematically shown in the figure, in the main body 1 of the back mechanism set wall S set on the back side, a considerable number of pachinko balls are installed at the upper end and periodically supplied from the side of the ball supply device (not shown). A storage tank 2 that stores the balls so as to be able to flow out is used as a prize ball storage and supply section, and downstream from this, in order, there is a horizontal rectification gutter 4 installed directly below the tank 2, and a horizontal rectification gutter 4 installed at the right end of this rectification gutter 4 in the illustration. A prize ball storage and delivery route R is configured in which a downward delivery gutter 11 is connected, and a prize ball discharge device 31, which will be described later, is installed in communication with the downstream end of the route R (the middle part on the right side in the figure). And this device 3
Upper ball tray 3 on the front of the pachinko machine on the downstream side of 1
4, and a prize ball ejection path 33 which is branched and communicated with the lower ball tray 35, respectively.

In the prize ball storage and delivery route R described above, the prize ball rectification and delivery device of this embodiment has a rectification gutter 4 and a delivery gutter 1.
1 is used as a basic flow straightening path member, and a rotary ratchet type ball feeding straightening member 19 is provided above the direction change connecting portions of both 4 and 11. To explain the flow straightening channel member side, first, the straightening gutter 4 is installed horizontally on the outside of the main body 1 of the back mechanism setting board S with a gentle slope toward the downstream (right side in Figure 1), and the upstream end ( A ball receiving part 5 of almost the same width is molded in the left end part of the storage tank 2 and has a direct communication with the ball outlet 3 of the storage tank 2.The ball receiving part 5 extends from the ball receiving part 5 to the downstream end to receive two rows of prize balls each. Straight rectifying channels 6A and 6B are arranged in parallel in the inner and outer directions.

The two rows of rectifying channels 6A and 6B are arranged between the outer wall 7 of the rectifying gutter 4, the partition wall 8 at the center of the gutter, and the outer surface of the main body 1 of the setting board S, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4. , are divided into sections with the same road width and slope, and each road bottom surface is formed by bottom plates 9 arranged in parallel at predetermined slit-like intervals, so that the prize balls B of each row rectify the slit-like interval parts. It is designed to be rectified in a string of beads at the center. Further, above the downstream part of the rectifying gutter 4, both rows of rectifying channels 6A, 6 are provided.
A ball leveling guide plate 10 for rectifying and guiding the winning balls in B is attached with an appropriate downward slope.

On the other hand, the sending gutter 11 is formed in a direction hanging down from the outlet of the downstream end of the rectifying gutter 4, and one sending path 12 for one row of prize balls is formed over the entire length of the gutter. In the center of Figure 1), a ball pressure reducing path 13 is formed which is approximately dogleg-shaped to reduce the ball pressure of the winning ball. However, in this delivery gutter 11, whether it is integrally formed with the main body 1 of the setting board S or separately molded, at least the upstream end inlet is aligned in the center of both flow rectification channels 6A and 6B. It has been done.

A communication gutter 14 for guiding balls is interposed between the rectifying gutter 4 and the delivery gutter 11. This communication gutter 14 is for inheriting two rows of prize balls into one row and rectifying and guiding them, and is connected to the outer end of the outlet of the rectifying gutter 4 as shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 4. This example shows the case where the outlet of two rows of rectifier channels 6A, 6B and one
A communication passage 15 communicating with the entrance of the column delivery passage 12 is opened. Ball-closing guide pieces 17 are formed symmetrically on both sides (upper and lower in FIG. 4) inside this communication path 15, and guide slopes 18 of each guide piece 17 are formed.
As a result, the entire communication port 15 is formed into a substantially semicircular shape when viewed from above.

On the other hand, the ball feeding rectifying member 19 is for alternately taking in prize balls one by one in both the rectifying channels 6A and 6B of the rectifying gutter 4 with a predetermined timing difference, and sending them out into the sending path 12 of the sending gutter 11. The entire structure is shaped like a plurality of rows of sawtooth gears, and is installed above the communication gutter 14 so as to be rotatable under the pressure of the ball. That is,
As shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4, this rectifying member 19
In this example, rectifier plates 21A and 21B having the same sawtooth (ratchet wheel) shape are formed in parallel at both the inner and outer ends of the shaft cylinder part 20, which is inserted through a support shaft 24 that is perpendicular to the plane of the rectifier trough 4. ing. For each of the current plates 21A and 21B, as shown in FIG. 5, the same number of serrated ball feeding teeth 22 and ball receiving portions 23 are formed at equal angular intervals, and both of them are properly aligned with each other in the direction of the rotation axis. They face each other at an interval appropriately smaller than the diameter of the balls with an angular displacement difference α, and are aligned parallel to the rectification centers of the rectifying channels 6A and 6B in each row, so that they are aligned in the direction of flow of the prize balls. They are placed at the same position (level).

And in each rectifier board 21A, 21B,
Each ball feeding tooth 22 takes in and sends out one prize ball at a time, and the six shown in the figure are arranged in the same direction in the rotational direction at 60 degree intervals suitable for one prize ball. The tips of the teeth are aligned to the same diameter circle. Further, each ball receiving portion 23 is opened approximately at right angles between the respective ball feeding teeth 22, so that a portion of the outer periphery of each winning ball can be held therein. Both rectifying plates 21A and 21B are set at a half pitch (30 degrees) for one ball feed tooth 22 as a predetermined angular displacement difference α.
They are displaced in the rotational direction and arranged in parallel. The support shaft 24 is installed horizontally between the main body 1 of the setting board S and the outer wall of the rectifying gutter 4.

Although the prize ball discharging device 31 described above is not the gist of the prize ball rectification and delivery device according to the present invention, in order to clarify the technical details of the prize ball rectification and delivery device, a summary thereof will be added for reference. It is of a type in which balls are received and discharged one by one in a single row rectified state, and although not shown in the case 32, one row of balls is connected to the delivery path 12 of the delivery gutter 11 and the prize ball discharge path 33. A ratchet-shaped ball feed control member adjacent to the passage, an electromagnetic solenoid and a control piece that control the rotation and stop of the control member, and a detection means that confirms the passage and ejection of each prize ball. etc., and the entire case is constructed of 32 units and can be attached and detached. Then, according to the drive control (ON, OFF) of the electromagnetic solenoid in response to the winning condition (detection of a safe ball) during the game, the ball feed control member instantly continues to rotate and stop for one ball at a time to move the ball in the ball path. Ball filling and ball cutting operations are performed to receive and discharge prize balls one by one, and based on this, the required number of prize balls are counted and discharged.

In the prize ball storage and discharge route R equipped with the prize ball rectification and delivery device of this embodiment configured as described above, the prize balls supplied from the storage tank 2 are changed from two rows to one row and rectified to be awarded. The ball is sent to the ball discharging device 31. First, an overview of the sending state will be explained. Prize balls in the storage tank 2 naturally flow from the ball outlet 3 and once pass into the ball receiving part 5 of the rectifying gutter 4. From the same part 5, the water is gradually arranged in sections using the slope of the gutter 4 itself, and enters the respective rectifying channels 6A and 6B, where the flow is rectified in a daisy chain state. The winning balls in each of the rectifying channels 6A and 6B are taken in alternately one by one while being subjected to the rectifying action of a ball feeding rectifying member 19, which will be described later, and are fed into the passage gutter 14 and sent from the communication port 15 to the sending gutter. 11 and is sent out to the sending path 12. Thereafter, the prize balls are quickly sent out toward the prize ball discharging device 31 in a daisy-chain rectified state within the sending path 12, and are passed through the ball passage in the case 32. And the stopped state of the device 31 (state before operation)
At the time when the first prize ball at the downstream end is stopped, the prize ball is sent out (distributed) over the entire route R.
is stopped and placed in a storage accommodation state.

Therefore, the rectification state in the above-mentioned prize ball delivery process will be explained with reference to FIGS. 6a and 6b. That is, the ball feeding rectifying member 19 is fed and rotated while being in mesh with each ball, while constantly receiving the flow pressure of the prize balls in the rectifying channels 6A and 6B of both rows of the rectifying gutter 4. On the premise that one ball feed dog 22 on each rectifier plate 21A, 21B is 1
The balls are taken in (raked in) and held in the ball receiving part 23 while being rotated continuously to change and rectify the winning balls one by one.

Looking at the rectifying action by the ball feed rectifying member 19, first of all, as shown in FIG.
As shown in , one (for convenience sake, the outer side) rectifying board 21A is displaced by half a pitch (30 degrees) with respect to the time when the ball receiving part 23 receives the first ball B of the outer row of rectifying channels 21A. The other side with a difference (inside)
In the rectifying path 21B, the ball feeding tooth 22 locks the leading ball B of the inner rectifying path 6B, as shown in FIG. 7b. When looking at the case where the rectifying member 19 is rotated by half a pitch from this rectifying start state, as shown in No. 7c, the outer rectifying plate 21A
, the first ball B of the ball receiving part 23 is connected to the communication gutter 1.
4 by a predetermined distance, and the ball feeding tooth 22 at the next position exhibits the same state as the state in which the next ball B is locked (FIG. 7b).
As shown in FIG. 7d, the inner rectifier plate 21B exhibits the same state as the state in which the first ball B is received by the ball receiving portion 23 at a timing delayed by half a pitch (FIG. 7a).

Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, in the process in which the rectifying member 19 rotates and changes while receiving ball pressure, both the rectifier plates 21A and 21B continuously change to the states shown in FIGS. 7a to 7d, and both alignment paths 6A , 6B prize balls B are taken in and sent out alternately one by one in the preceding order with a time difference and a rectification difference due to a timing delay of half a pitch, and are sent out to form a single row. Due to the rotational rectification effect of the member 19, the prize balls in both rows are always aligned and held with a radial displacement difference relative to the half-pitch displacement difference, and are also fluidly displaced.

As mentioned above, the winning balls that are alternately taken in and sent out one by one by the rectifying member 19 are moved forward by half a pitch (radius) from the position shown in FIG. In Fig. c), the ball is released from the ball receiving part 23 of the current plate 21A and sent into the communication gutter 14, and the guide slope 18 of the ball gathering guide piece 17 on the side in the communication path 15 is placed at the center of the communication port 15. Thereafter, the balls are rectified in a single line in the delivery path 12 of the delivery gutter 11 and fed into the prize ball ejecting device 31, where they are housed and held as they are. In addition, in this prize ball storage/accommodation state, the prize ball at the most upstream end in the sending gutter 11, the prize ball (one piece) located in the communication port 15 of the communication gutter 14, and one of the prize balls in the flow regulating member 19. The prize balls that have been sent out by the rectifier plate 21A and are still located in the ball receiving portion 23 contact each other, and the prize balls that are stopped and waiting by the ball feeding teeth 22 of the other rectifier plate 21B contact each other. They are not in contact.

The flow and rectification state of the prize balls on the storage side when the prize balls are discharged from the prize ball discharging device 31 in the above-mentioned prize ball alignment and accommodation state will be explained. In other words, when a predetermined number of prize balls are discharged by the operation of the device 31, the prize balls in the sending path 12 of the sending gutter 11 are newly ejected by the device 31.
The rectifier is sent out to the rectifier gutter 4 following this.
Half of the prize balls in both the rectifying channels 6A and 6B are also sent out in a supplementary manner. In this prize ball replenishment and sending process, the ball feeding rectifying member 19
A and 6B prize balls have a rectifying effect in the same intake and sending mode as described above, and both rectifying plates 21A and 21
In the half-pitch displacement difference rotation process of B, the prize ball that is in contact with the prize ball in the communication path 15 of the communication gutter 14 is taken as the first ball, and half of the number of balls to be ejected is taken in alternately one by one and communicated. It rectifies and sends out the water toward the gutter 14.

After the operation of the prize ball discharge device 31 is stopped, the prize ball storage and discharge path R is maintained in the same prize ball alignment and accommodation state as described above, and the first ball of one prize ball row of the rectifying gutter 4, The prize ball in the communication gutter 14 and the prize ball at the most upstream end in the delivery path 11 are in contact with each other.

The gist of the prize ball rectification and discharge device that is the subject of the present invention is based on the idea of changing and rectifying the prize balls sent out from the upstream side in a double row state to the downstream side in a single row state. There are specific technical means and formats that can be applied to this, such as (a) Separate each of the rectifying plates 21A and 21B in the illustrated ball feed rectifying member 19 and separate them into a double row on the upper downstream side of the rectifying gutter 4. Each rectifying plate 21A,
21B, the prize balls of each train are sent out alternately (time displacement difference feeding). In addition, in this type, each of the rectifier plates 21A and 21B may be supported for displacement by individual support shafts.

(b) On the premise that the illustrated rectifying gutter 4 is a three-line gutter (three rows), the three rectifying plates for the prize balls in each row are rotatably supported at appropriate positions, and a predetermined row is formed. A format in which prize balls are sent out alternately in order. In this type, on the premise that the entire rectifier plate has a relatively large diameter and a small number of teeth,
It is desirable to arrange them at the same position with an angular displacement difference suitable for alternate delivery of prize balls, and when they are at different positions, to arrange them at upper, middle, and lower positions in the prize ball circulation direction with an appropriate distance difference.
According to this, it is suitably implemented corresponding to a storage tank having a wide depth. is possible.

In addition, for any type of prize ball rectification and delivery device including these, ejection means other than the above-mentioned prize ball ejection device 31 may be used, such as counting prize balls under single-row rectification conditions (ball filling, ball cutting, etc.). ) of course, it is also possible to carry out the counting and discharging as a target.

〔Effect of the invention〕

As can be understood from the explanation of the embodiments described above, in the rectifying and sending out prize balls of the present invention, the prize balls supplied from the prize ball storage and supply section on the upstream side are quickly received into the rectifying gutter, while the prize balls on the downstream end are In a pachinko machine in which prize balls are passed through and discharged from the ball discharge port in an edge-row rectified state, the double-row rectifying path of the rectifying gutter and the single-row sending path of the downstream sending gutter are connected. Due to the rotational rectification effect of the ball feed rectification member provided at the connection part, the prize balls in the double-row rectification path are separated from each other with a timing displacement difference due to a predetermined distribution level difference, delivery time difference, etc.
It is possible to take in each piece alternately and quickly send it out to a single-row delivery path.

As a result, the prize balls supplied in considerable numbers from the prize ball storage supply section can be smoothly changed from a double-row state to a single-row state, rectified, and sent to the downstream side. In addition to displacing the prize balls in the row rectifying path by the same number of balls each other to achieve an average delivery, this circulation state can be ensured at all times, so the ball flow is smooth and stable throughout the prize ball delivery path. It is possible to maintain this and avoid ball clogging and poor rectification.

In particular, in the prize ball rectification and delivery device of the present invention, the main component of the configuration is a single ball feeder in which ratchet-shaped rectifier plates for each row of rectifier channels are disposed opposite each other with an appropriate angular displacement difference in the rotational direction. By simply using a rectifying member and setting the rectifying member to rotate naturally in response to the ball pressure of the winning balls in each row, the entire device is extremely simple and there are no malfunctions.
Furthermore, since no motor or solenoid is needed to control the rotation of this rectifying member, it can be made compact and inexpensive.
