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 on a pachinko board surface, safe ball tracking, and position capture. .

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

Conventionally, the number of balls supplied to the upper plate of a pachinko game machine is counted in order to obtain the above-mentioned ball input and ball output information, and it is input to the computer as a ball output, and is used as a safe ball when proceeding to the game later. On the other hand, there was a prize to be awarded.

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. Since it is input, it is not a correct payout ball but a predictive value of the payout ball, and accuracy in management such as stopping is lacking.

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 by paying attention to the conventional problems such as the above, and the detection of safe balls and out balls is performed on the front glass of the board surface of the pachinko game machine, and the pachinko ball does not require complicated installation or adjustment. The object is to provide a pachinko game machine equipped with a detector.

“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. A switch matrix whose intersections form a switch is formed by a second fine wire group composed of conductors arranged in the cross direction, and the switch matrix is arranged on the entire transparent glass surface of the pachinko machine, and the first matrix The intersection of the fine line group and the second fine line group is formed so that when the pachinko balls approach each other, they are attracted to each other to be conductive and generate a signal, and this signal is managed by a management device arranged outside. It is a thing.

"Action" To attach the switch matrix, which is a surface sensor, to the glass surface of the pachinko game machine, just open the glass frame and open the glass frame from the top, as if you were still fitting two glasses into the glass frame of the pachinko game machine. The switch matrix plate in which the transparent thin film having the second thin wire group is set on the inner glass having the thin wire group and the protective glass is dropped outside the switch matrix plate, and each connection terminal of the switch matrix plate Connect.

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 fine wire group, the second fine wire group is attracted to 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.

[Examples] Various examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.
