【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明はパチンコ機の遊技主体である遊技盤に組み付けられた遊技部品の動態を検査する設備に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来のパチンコ機の遊技部品動態検査設備は搬送装置と検査装置とを備える。そして、遊技部品の組み付けられた組立の完了した遊技盤が搬送装置に搭載され、遊技盤が搬送装置で横方向に移動して検査領域に到達すると、搬送装置の搬送動作が停止した後、検査領域に対応する位置に設置された検査装置が次のように作動して遊技盤に組み付けられた遊技部品の検査を行う。検査装置の球供給装置が球を遊技盤の例えば始動入賞部品に投入すると、遊技盤の図柄表示器が図柄変動を開始した後に停止し、その停止した確定図柄が当たり図柄で揃った後、遊技盤のアタッカーや大入賞口と呼ばれるような可変入賞部品の開閉体が開閉する。上記球の投入後、検査装置のCCDカメラが上記図柄変動の状態、図柄停止の状態、開閉体の開閉状態を撮像したデータを検査装置の制御装置に出力し、当該制御装置が撮像データを制御装置に格納された判定データと比較して図柄変動状態の良否、図柄停止状態の良否、開閉体の開閉状態の良否を判定する(例えば、特許文献1参照)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、前記従来例は電動チューリップや可変入賞部品或いは図柄表示器などのような駆動系を有する能動形の遊技部品の動態を検査する構造であるので、風車やランプ風車或いはシーソーのような駆動系を持たずに球で動かされる受動形の遊技部品における動態の検査は人為的に行わなければならず、遊技部品動態検査設備と作業者による検査とを必要とするものであって、にわかに採用しがたいという問題点があった。
【0005】
そこで、本発明は受動形の遊技部品の検査を行うことができるパチンコ機の遊技部品動態検査設備を提供するものである。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明にあっては、遊技部品の組み付けられた組立の完了した遊技盤を検査領域に搬送するとともに停止する搬送装置と、検査領域に対応する位置に設置された検査装置とを備えたパチンコ機の遊技部品動態検査設備において、検査装置が遊技盤に組み付けられた受動形の遊技部品を動かすための空気を吹き付ける空気噴射装置と、当該空気の吹き付けによる受動形の遊技部品の動態を捕らえて2値化されたデータを出力する動態検出装置と、動態検出装置から出力された検出データと制御装置に格納されている判定データとを比較した結果を検査結果として出力する制御装置とを備えたことによって、空気噴射装置が搬送装置で検査装置の前に搬送されて停止した遊技盤における受動形の遊技部品を動かし、動態検出装置が上記受動形の遊技部品の動態を電気的に捕らえ、制御装置が受動形の遊技部品の良否を判定するというように、受動形の遊技部品の検査を行うことができる。また、本発明にあっては、動態検出装置がCCDカメラを備えれば、制御装置がCCDカメラからの2値化データを利用した良否判定を行うことができる。また、本発明にあっては、動態検出装置が光センサを備えれば、制御装置が光センサからの受光量を利用した良否判定を行うことができる。また、本発明にあっては、遊技部品の組み付けられた組立の完了した遊技盤を検査領域に搬送するとともに停止する搬送装置と、検査領域に対応する位置に設置された検査装置とを備えたパチンコ機の遊技部品動態検査設備において、搬送装置が遊技盤から排出される球を受け取る球受皿を備え、検査装置が遊技盤に組み付けられた能動形の遊技部品に動かすための球を投入する球供給装置と、当該球の投入による能動形の遊技部品の動態を捕らえて2値化されたデータを出力する動態検出装置と、動態検出装置から出力された検出データと制御装置に格納されている判定データとを比較した結果を検査結果として出力する制御装置とを備え、球供給装置が搬送装置の運搬台における球受皿から排出される球を受け取って貯蔵する球タンクと、球タンクに貯蔵された球を昇降して球ノズルに導く揚送機構とを備えたことによって、遊技盤の受動形および能動形の遊技部品の動態を検査することができる。
【0007】
【発明の実施の形態】
図1−図3は第1実施形態であって、図1は遊技部品動態検査設備の側面を示し、図2は搬送装置1の外観を示し、図3は受動形の遊技部品であるランプ風車54や風車55を動かす形態を示す。
【0008】
図1を参照し、遊技部品動態検査設備について説明する。遊技部品動態検査設備は搬送装置1と検査装置2とが互いに連結部材3で結合された形態である。搬送装置1は運搬台4を横方向一方(図1の紙面の例えば表側から裏側に向う方向)に搬送する形態であって、運搬台4に組立の完成した遊技盤45を装着する。検査装置2は土台を構成する装置本体5に、空気噴射装置6、球供給装置7、動態検出装置8;9、制御装置10、入力機器11、出力機器12;13を搭載した形態である。そして、搬送装置1の位置検出器14が搬送装置1によって検査装置2の前である検査領域に到達してきた運搬台4または遊技盤45のいずれかを検出した信号を検査装置2の制御装置10に出力することで、制御装置10が空気噴射装置6、球供給装置7を制御する。当該制御の結果として、遊技盤45に取り付けられている能動形の遊技部品(例えば、図2に示す電動チューリップ形の入賞部品49、可変入賞部品51)や受動形の遊技部品(例えば、図2に示すランプ風車54、風車55)が動く。その状態において、動態検出装置8;9が能動形の遊技部品や受動形の遊技部品が動いている態である動態を捕らえて2値化されたデータを制御装置10に出力し、制御装置10が入力された検出データと制御装置10に格納されている判定データとを比較し、比較した結果を検査結果として出力機器12;13に出力する。
【0009】
空気噴射装置6は空気噴射機構15と駆動機構16とを備える。空気噴射機構15はエアーノズル(空気噴射管)17、電磁開閉弁18、圧力調整タンク19、エアーコンプレッサ(圧力空気生成源)20を備える。そして、エアーコンプレッサ20が制御装置10からの制御で作動し、エアーコンプレッサ20で生成された圧力空気がエアーコンプレッサ20から圧力調整タンク19に供給され、電磁開閉弁18が制御装置10からの制御で開放されると、エアーノズル17が圧力調整タンク19に貯蔵された定圧の圧力空気を噴射する。駆動機構16は制御装置10からの制御で作動し、エアーノズル17および電磁開閉弁18を1つのまとまりとして組み付けたユニット構成体21が搬送装置1に近づいたり離れたりする前後方向であるX方向、搬送装置1の搬送方向と平行する方向であるY方向、X方向とY方向とに直交する上下方向であるZ方向、Z方向に対する仰角であるθ方向に移動し、そのユニット構成体21の移動に伴い、エアーノズル17が遊技盤45の受動形の遊技部品(例えば、図2に示すランプ風車54、風車55)に圧力空気を吹き付けることで当該受動形の遊技部品に動く力を与えるのに最適な検査姿勢となるように姿勢制御される。
【0010】
球供給装置7では駆動機構23が制御装置10の制御で作動し、球ノズル24や電磁開閉弁25を1つのまとまりとして組み付けたユニット構成体26がX・Y・Z・θ方向に移動し、そのユニット構成体26の移動に伴い、球ノズル24が遊技盤45の能動形の遊技部品(例えば、図2に示す電動チューリップ形の入賞部品49、可変入賞部品51)に球を投入するのに最適な検査姿勢となるように姿勢制御される点は公知であるのに対し、球供給装置7の球ノズル24に球を供給する球タンク27が搬送装置1の運搬台4における球受皿39から排出される球を受け取って貯蔵する点と、揚送機構28が制御装置10の制御で球受皿39に貯蔵された球を上方に搬送して球タンク27に導く点は新規である。
【0011】
一方の動態検出装置8では駆動機構30が制御装置10からの制御で作動し、受動形の遊技部品(例えば、図2に示すランプ風車54、風車55)の動態を検出するCCDカメラ31がX・Y・Z・θ方向に移動して遊技盤45の受動形の遊技部品における動態を撮像するのに最適な検査姿勢となるように姿勢制御される。他方の動態検出装置9では駆動機構32が制御装置10からの制御で作動し、能動形の遊技部品(例えば、図2に示す電動チューリップ形の入賞部品49、可変入賞部品51)の動態を検出するCCDカメラ33がX・Y・Z・θ方向に移動して遊技盤45の能動形の遊技部品における動態を撮像するのに最適な検査姿勢となるように姿勢制御される。
【0012】
制御装置10ではコンピュータがROMに記憶された検査プログラムによる検査処理を実行する。入力機器11はコンピュータに接続されたキーボードのような操作機器である。出力機器12はコンピュータから出力される検査結果を画像表示する表示器、出力機器13はコンピュータから出力される検査結果を印字するプリンタである。
【0013】
図2を参照し、搬送装置1について説明する。搬送装置1は土台である装置本体35に位置検出器14、搬送機構36、案内機構37を備え、運搬台4の下部が搬送機構36の上に搭載され、運搬台4の上部が案内機構37に嵌め込まれることで、運搬台4が自立した格好で搬送装置1に取り付けられる。運搬台4は遊技盤45の外形よりもひとまわり小さな方形な中央開口38を囲む額縁状であって、遊技盤45を運搬台4に装着することで、運搬台4が遊技盤45の周縁部を支持し、遊技盤45の前面である意匠盤面に取り付けられた前側の部品が中央開口38に配置される。また、遊技盤45の周縁部が運搬台4に支持されることで、遊技盤45の意匠盤面の上部が下部よりも後側に位置する例えば5度程度の傾斜角度となるように、遊技盤45が後傾状の姿勢に確保される。5度程度の傾斜角度はパチンコ機がパチンコ店の島と呼ばれる遊技設置設備に設置された場合に遊技盤45が傾く角度である。このように遊技盤45が後傾状となることで、遊技盤45がパチンコ店で遊技に使用されるのと同じ姿勢で検査を受ける。
【0014】
搬送機構36はローラコンベアのような搬送体が運搬台4を矢印X1方向に搬送することで、運搬台4の上部が案内機構37で前後方向に倒れることがないように支持されつつ矢印X1方向に誘導される。運搬台4の下部には球受皿39が設けられる。球受皿39は運搬台4に装着された遊技盤45から排出された球を受け取る。球受皿39の底部には受け取った球を落下するための排出口40が設けられる。運搬台4が図1の検査装置2と対応する位置に停止することで排出口40が図1の揚送機構28における受樋41の受口と出合い、球受皿39に受け止められた球が排出口40から受樋41を流下して揚送機構28に捕集される。
【0015】
遊技盤45は意匠盤面のガイドレール46で囲まれた内側の遊技領域47にポケット形の入賞部品48、電動チューリップ形の入賞部品49、アタッカーや大入賞口と呼ばれるような電動開閉体50を備える可変入賞部品51、図柄表示器52、球の流れや飛びを演出する図外の多数本の遊技釘、遊技を光で演出するサイドランプ53、遊技を光と自分の動きで演出するランプ風車54、遊技を球の流れと自分の動きで演出する風車55などの遊技部品を備え、裏面に遊技制御・図柄制御・音制御・ランプ制御などのための遊技制御部品56を備える。電動チューリップ形の入賞部品49や可変入賞部品51および図柄表示器52は遊技制御部品56で制御される駆動系を有する能動形の遊技部品である。ランプ風車54および風車55は遊技制御部品56で制御される駆動系を持たずに遊技領域47に発射された球で動かされる受動形の遊技部品である。
【0016】
第1実施形態の動作について説明する。位置検出器14が搬送装置1上の運搬台4または遊技盤45のいずれかを検出した信号を制御装置10に出力すると、制御装置10が空気噴射装置6、球供給装置7、動態検出装置8;9を制御して、検査装置2による遊技盤45に設けられた受動形の遊技部品や能動形の遊技部品の動態検査が開始される。受動形の遊技部品の動態検査では、空気噴射装置6のエアーノズル17が図3に矢印Fで示す空気をランプ風車54または風車55における軸57で回転可能に支持された風車前板58の裏面に突出した風車羽根59に側方から吹き付けることで、ランプ風車54または風車55が図3に示す矢印W方向に回転する。この受動形の遊技部品であるランプ風車54または風車55における回転し得る動態を動態検出装置8が捕らえて2値化されたデータを制御装置10に出力し、制御装置10が入力された検出データと制御装置10に格納されている判定データとを比較し、比較した結果を検査結果として出力機器12;13に出力する。
【0017】
能動形の遊技部品の動態検査では、球供給装置7の球ノズル24が図2に示す入賞部品49に球を投入することで、入賞部品49が電動羽根を開閉し、図柄表示器52が図柄変動を表示し、可変入賞部品51が電動開閉体50を開閉する。入賞部品49に入賞した球を図外の球検出器が検出した信号を図2の遊技制御部品56に出力することで、図柄表示器52による図柄変動が開始して所定時間後に停止する。この図柄表示器52が図柄変動を停止する場合、遊技制御部品56が当たり図柄で揃うように図柄変動の停止を制御する。そして、図柄表示器52が当たり図柄で揃ったことを表示した後、遊技制御部品56が電動開閉体50を開閉するように制御する。この能動形の遊技部品である入賞部品49における電動羽根の開閉、図柄表示器52における図柄変動開始・停止、可変入賞部品51における電動開閉体50の開閉し得る動態を動態検出装置9が捕らえて2値化されたデータを制御装置10に出力し、制御装置10が入力された検出データと制御装置10に格納されている判定データとを比較し、比較した結果を検査結果として出力機器12;13に出力する。
【0018】
第1実施形態の構造によれば、検査装置2における空気噴射装置6、動態検出装置8、制御装置10が搬送装置1で検査装置2の前に搬送されて停止した遊技盤45のランプ風車54や風車55のような受動形の遊技部品を動かし、その受動形の遊技部品の動態を電気的に捕らえて、受動形の遊技部品の良否を判定することができる。例えば、ランプ風車54や風車55が空気噴射装置6から吹き付けられた空気で所定時間回り続ければ、ランプ風車54や風車55は良品であると、制御装置10が判定する。ランプ風車54や風車55が空気噴射装置6から吹き付けられた空気で所定時間回り続けなければ、ランプ風車54や風車55は不良品であると、制御装置10が判定する。
【0019】
また、検査装置2における球供給装置7、動態検出装置9、制御装置10が搬送装置1で検査装置2の前に搬送されて停止した遊技盤45の入賞部品49のような能動形の遊技部品に球を供給することで、遊技制御部品56が入賞部品49や図柄表示器52および可変入賞部品51のような能動形の遊技部品を動かし、その能動形の遊技部品の動態を電気的に捕らえて、能動形の遊技部品の良否を判定することができる。例えば、入賞部品49の電動羽根や図柄表示器52の表示形態および可変入賞部品51の電動開閉体50が所定態様に動けば、入賞部品49や図柄表示器52および可変入賞部品51は良品であると、制御装置10が判定する。入賞部品49の電動羽根や図柄表示器52の表示形態および可変入賞部品51の電動開閉体50が所定態様に動かなければ、入賞部品49や図柄表示器52および可変入賞部品51は不良品であると、制御装置10が判定する。
【0020】
検査装置2が空気噴射装置6、球供給装置7、動態検出装置8;9、制御装置10を備えているので、遊技盤45の受動形および能動形の遊技部品の動態を検査することができる。
【0021】
図4は第2実施形態の動態検出装置61を示し、動態検出装置61は図1示す動態検出装置8;9におけるCCDカメラ31;33を反射形の光センサ62に代えた構造である。つまり、光センサ62は発光素子63からの発光を検査対象である遊技部品の動く部分の表面に照射し、受光素子64が遊技部品の動く部分の表面からの反射光を受光する形態であって、遊技部品の動く部分の動いている場合と動いていない場合とで受光素子64の受光量が異なることを利用して、受動形および能動形の遊技部品の動態を検査することができる。
【0022】
図1では検査装置2が空気噴射装置6、球供給装置7、動態検出装置8;9、制御装置10を備えたが、検査装置2が空気噴射装置6、動態検出装置8、制御装置10を備えた形態であっても同様に適用することができる。
