Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to a pachinko game machine, and more particularly to a pachinko game machine provided with means for pachinko ball out balls, safe ball tracking, and position acquisition.

"Prior art" In a pachinko game machine, it is necessary to accurately grasp the so-called ball-in game played by the player and the ball-out as a prize for the ball in the safe hole. This is the most important information for management.

Conventionally, for the above-mentioned purpose, the number of balls supplied to the upper plate of a pachinko game machine is counted, input to a computer as a payout, and given as a payout prize to a safe ball when the game proceeds later. There was that.

In addition, there is also one that attaches a safe ball sensor to the safe ball discharge port on the back of the pachinko game machine to detect the ball.

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] However, in the above-mentioned conventional technology, if the number of balls supplied to the upper plate of the pachinko game machine is counted and input to the computer, the ball output is prior to the ball input. It will be input, and it will be a predictive value of the payout rather than an accurate payout, and the management such as stopping will be inaccurate.

Also, in the case of detecting a safe ball and making it a ball,
It is possible to manage the incoming and outgoing balls accurately, but in this case, if the position and dimensions of the safe ball detection sensor vary depending on the type of pachinko game machine, it is necessary to respond to that. In addition, there is a problem in that it takes a lot of time to attach the sensor, requires a large amount of labor, and is complicated.

The present invention has been made in view of such a conventional problem, and a safe ball and an out ball are detected on the front glass of a pachinko game machine, and a pachinko ball detector that does not require complicated installation and adjustment is provided. It is intended to provide a pachinko game machine equipped with.

“Means for Solving Problems” The gist of the present invention for achieving the above object is to provide a first thin wire group composed of conductors arranged in one direction, and a first thin wire group. The intersection with the second fine line group made of conductors arranged in the cross direction constitutes a switch matrix that forms a switch when the pachinko balls come close to each other, and the first fine line group of the switch matrix is connected to the pachinko game machine. Wiring is performed on the outer surface of the glass body that covers the board surface, and the second thin wire portion is wired in proximity to the outer surface of the glass body, and has the same size as the glass body on the outside of the second thin wire portion. Glass bodies are provided, and both of the above-mentioned glass bodies are integrally fixed, and the integrated glass body is formed so as to be freely inserted into and removed from a pachinko machine, and the end portions of the first and second thin wires are formed. Is an external connection terminal It exists in the pachinko game machine that is arranged.

"Action" To attach the switch matrix to a pachinko game machine, just like inserting two pieces of glass into the glass frame of the pachinko game machine as before, open the glass frame and use the inner side of the first group of fine lines from the top. The switch matrix plate on which the transparent thin film having the second thin wire group is set and the protective glass may be dropped on the outside of the glass, and each connection terminal of the switch matrix plate is connected.

The pachinko ball played by the player flies on the board surface and the glass surface side of the switch matrix plate and enters the safe hole or the out hole.

In the magnetized second thin wire group, the second thin wire group is absorbed by the pachinko balls as the pachinko balls fly.
Conduction is generated at each crossing point corresponding to the pachinko ball track, and a signal is emitted, and conduction is lost at the safe hole or out hole.

In the case where the magnet is provided on the transparent thin film provided with the second thin wire group, when the magnet is provided at the position where the magnet is provided, for example, immediately before the safe hole or the out hole, at the moment when the pachinko ball enters the safe hole or the like. It conducts and emits a signal.

Not only is it possible to control the number of balls entered and released, but it is also possible to capture the track of the pachinko balls in addition to the record of the hole penetration rate of each safe hole. It can be useful.
