It is the front side of the game board 8, and the rear side of the support beam 35, the shaft portion 37, the solenoid 33 and the bearing 34 are arranged to be the back side of the game board 8. The solenoid 33 and the bearing 34 may be fixed to the back side of the game board 8 by an appropriate method using a bracket or the like.

図３及び図４に示すように、扉３０は、開閉装置４０によって開閉される。開閉装置４０は、軸４１、プッシュ型ソレノイド４２及び軸受４３から構成されている。軸４１は前後に移動自在に軸受４３に挿通されており、前端が扉３０の裏面に当接し、後端がソレノイド４２のプランジャー４２ａの前端に当接する。扉３０は上部左右に軸受部３０ａ，３０ｂが設けられており、軸受部３０ａと軸受部３０ｂの間には軸穴が同軸となるように軸受４４が配置され、軸受部３０ａ，３０ｂ及び軸受４４にはピン４５が挿通される。ピン４５は軸受部３０ａ，３０ｂまたは軸受４４のいずれか一方に固着されており、扉３０はピン４５を回動軸として上下方向に回動する。   As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the door 30 is opened and closed by an opening / closing device 40. The opening / closing device 40 includes a shaft 41, a push type solenoid 42, and a bearing 43. The shaft 41 is inserted into the bearing 43 so as to be movable back and forth, and the front end abuts on the back surface of the door 30 and the rear end abuts on the front end of the plunger 42a of the solenoid 42. The door 30 is provided with bearing portions 30a and 30b on the upper left and right sides. A bearing 44 is disposed between the bearing portion 30a and the bearing portion 30b so that the shaft hole is coaxial, and the bearing portions 30a and 30b and the bearing 44 are arranged. A pin 45 is inserted through the pin 45. The pin 45 is fixed to either one of the bearing portions 30a and 30b or the bearing 44, and the door 30 rotates in the vertical direction about the pin 45 as a rotation axis.

ソレノイド４２に通電がないときにはプランジャー４２ａは後方に引き込まれており、通電があるときにはプランジャー４２ａは前方に押し出される。プランジャー４２ａが押し出されると、軸４１は前方に付勢されて扉３０の裏面を前方に押圧し、軸４１が前方に移動するに伴って扉３０が上方に回動して特別入賞口１４を開く。プランジャー４２ａが後方に引き込まれているときには、扉３０は自重によって下方に回動し、軸４１を後方に移動させながら特別入賞口１４を閉じる。   When the solenoid 42 is not energized, the plunger 42a is pulled backward, and when the energization is energized, the plunger 42a is pushed forward. When the plunger 42a is pushed out, the shaft 41 is urged forward to press the back surface of the door 30 forward, and as the shaft 41 moves forward, the door 30 is rotated upward to rotate the special prize opening 14. open. When the plunger 42a is retracted rearward, the door 30 rotates downward by its own weight, and closes the special prize opening 14 while moving the shaft 41 rearward.

開閉装置４０は、軸４１が、遊技盤８の特別入賞口１４の上方に設けられた穴８ｃに前後方向に移動自在に挿通され、ソレノイド４２及び軸受４３が遊技盤８の裏側となるように配置される。なお、ソレノイド４２及び軸受４３は、ブラケット等を用いた適宜の方法で遊技盤８の裏側に固定すれば良い。また、軸受４４は遊技盤８の前面の、特別入賞口１４の上方に固着される。軸受４４を遊技盤８の前面に固着する方法は、接着や螺着など適宜の方法を用いれば良く、また、軸受４４と遊技盤８とが一体として形成されるものであっても良い。   The opening / closing device 40 is inserted so that the shaft 41 can be moved in the front-rear direction in a hole 8 c provided above the special winning opening 14 of the game board 8, and the solenoid 42 and the bearing 43 are on the back side of the game board 8. Be placed. The solenoid 42 and the bearing 43 may be fixed to the back side of the game board 8 by an appropriate method using a bracket or the like. The bearing 44 is fixed to the front surface of the game board 8 above the special winning opening 14. As a method for fixing the bearing 44 to the front surface of the game board 8, an appropriate method such as adhesion or screwing may be used, and the bearing 44 and the game board 8 may be integrally formed.

揚送装置３１及び開閉装置４０のソレノイド３３，４２は、パチンコ機２の内部に設けられたソレノイド駆動装置５０によって通電制御されており、ソレノイド駆動装置５０は、パチンコ機２の全体を管制する主制御装置５１から入力される制御信号に応じてソレノイド３３，４２を通電制御する。   The solenoids 33 and 42 of the lifting device 31 and the opening / closing device 40 are energized and controlled by a solenoid driving device 50 provided inside the pachinko machine 2, and the solenoid driving device 50 controls the entire pachinko machine 2. The energization of the solenoids 33 and 42 is controlled according to a control signal input from the control device 51.

次に、上記構成のパチンコ機２の作用について説明する。図５（Ａ）に示すように、ソレノイド３３，４２が通電されていないときには、パレット３６は上下方向の移動範囲における下端に位置する。このとき、扉３０は特別入賞口１４を閉じており、遊技領域８ａを流下してきた遊技球５５は、パレット３６上に載ることができる。ソレノイド駆動装置５０によってソレノイド３３，４２が通電されると、図５（Ｂ）に示すように、扉３０が軸４１の移動に伴って開放され、パレット３６は上下方向の移動範囲の上端に移動する。このときパレット上に載せられた遊技球５５は上方に移動した後、パレット３６の傾斜に沿ってパレット３６から後方に転落して特別入賞口１４に入賞する。また、このとき、開放された扉３０は、上方から遊技領域８ａを流下してくる遊技球と、パレット３６上の遊技球５５とが衝突することを防ぐ。このように、揚送装置３２のパレット３６に載った遊技球５５は下方から上方へ移動した後に特別入賞口１４に入賞するので、遊技領域８ａにおいて入賞口に至る遊技球の動きを変化に富んだものとすることができる。   Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 2 configured as described above will be described. As shown in FIG. 5A, when the solenoids 33 and 42 are not energized, the pallet 36 is located at the lower end in the vertical movement range. At this time, the door 30 closes the special winning opening 14, and the game ball 55 flowing down the game area 8 a can be placed on the pallet 36. When the solenoids 33 and 42 are energized by the solenoid driving device 50, as shown in FIG. 5B, the door 30 is opened as the shaft 41 moves, and the pallet 36 moves to the upper end of the vertical movement range. To do. At this time, the game ball 55 placed on the pallet moves upward and then falls rearward from the pallet 36 along the inclination of the pallet 36 to win the special prize opening 14. At this time, the opened door 30 prevents the game ball flowing down the game area 8 a from above and the game ball 55 on the pallet 36 from colliding with each other. As described above, the game ball 55 placed on the pallet 36 of the lifting device 32 moves from the lower side to the upper side and then wins the special prize opening 14, so that the movement of the game ball reaching the prize opening in the game area 8a is varied. Can be.

なお、主制御装置５１がソレノイド駆動装置５０に制御信号を入力する契機及び回数は、遊技において通常入賞口１２のいずれかに入賞があったときや、遊技において単位時間に払い出された賞球の総数が所定値に達していないときなど、遊技に基づく適宜の契機及び回数とすれば良く、例えば、スルーチャッカー１０に設けた通過検知センサが遊技球の通過を検知したことに応じて主制御装置５１が抽選を行い、抽選結果が当選であれば所定回数（例えば、２回）制御信号を入力するするようにしても良い。このようにすることによって、遊技が単調となることを防ぎ、遊技を興趣に富んだものとすることができる。   The timing and number of times that the main control device 51 inputs a control signal to the solenoid drive device 50 is determined based on the prize balls that are paid out in a unit time in a game when a winning is made in any of the normal winning holes 12 in the game. For example, when the total number of games does not reach a predetermined value, an appropriate trigger and number of times may be set based on the game. For example, the main control is performed according to the passage detection sensor provided in the through chucker 10 detecting the passage of the game ball. The device 51 may perform a lottery, and if the lottery result is a win, a control signal may be input a predetermined number of times (for example, twice). By doing so, the game can be prevented from becoming monotonous and the game can be made interesting.

なお、上記実施形態では、揚送装置３１及び開閉装置４０の駆動にはソレノイド３３，４２を用いていたが、例えばモーターなど、適宜の駆動装置を用いて良い。また、駆動装置によっては、抽選の結果などに基づく速度制御を行ってパレット３６の上昇速度を変化させることができ、遊技領域８ａを流下してきた遊技球がパレット３６に載る成功率を変化させることができる。   In the above-described embodiment, the solenoids 33 and 42 are used to drive the lifting device 31 and the opening / closing device 40, but an appropriate driving device such as a motor may be used. Further, depending on the drive device, speed control based on the result of the lottery can be performed to change the rising speed of the pallet 36, and the success rate of the game balls flowing down the game area 8a on the pallet 36 can be changed. Can do.

なお、上記実施形態では、パレット３６は傾きを固定した状態で腕部３５ａの先端に固着されていたが、パレット３６が腕部３５ａの先端で傾動自在としても良い。図６に示すように、腕部３５ａの先端に圧電バイモルフ６０（厚み方向に分極された２枚の厚い圧電素子であって、内部に電極が埋め込まれ貼り合わせた構造物）を介してパレット３６を固着する。圧電バイモルフ６０は、電圧が印加されると上方に屈曲するように配置する。揚送装置３１を駆動しないときは、圧電バイモルフ６０に通電せず、図中２点鎖線で示すように、パレット３６は後方より前方が低く傾斜する。揚送装置３１を駆動するときは、圧電バイモルフ６０に通電し、図中実線で示すように、パレット３６は圧電バイモルフ６０が屈曲することによって持ち上げられ、前方より後方が低く傾斜する。このようにパレット３６を傾動させることによって、揚送装置３１を駆動しないときには遊技球がパレット３６に載らないようにすることができ、例えば、パチンコ機２の電源断時などに遊技球がパレット３６に載ったまま放置されることを防げる。なお、パレット３６を傾動させる構成は上記のものに限られず、揚送装置３１を駆動しないときにパレット３６の後方より前方を低く傾斜させるものであれば、例えば、ソレノイド等を駆動源とするギア機構を用いるなど、適宜の構成として良い。   In the above embodiment, the pallet 36 is fixed to the tip of the arm portion 35a with the tilt fixed, but the pallet 36 may be tiltable at the tip of the arm portion 35a. As shown in FIG. 6, the pallet 36 is connected to the tip of the arm portion 35a via a piezoelectric bimorph 60 (two thick piezoelectric elements polarized in the thickness direction, in which electrodes are embedded and bonded together). To fix. The piezoelectric bimorph 60 is arranged to bend upward when a voltage is applied. When the lifting device 31 is not driven, the piezoelectric bimorph 60 is not energized, and the pallet 36 is tilted lower in the front than in the rear, as indicated by a two-dot chain line in the figure. When the lifting device 31 is driven, the piezoelectric bimorph 60 is energized, and as shown by the solid line in the figure, the pallet 36 is lifted by bending the piezoelectric bimorph 60, and the rear is inclined lower than the front. By tilting the pallet 36 in this manner, the game ball can be prevented from being placed on the pallet 36 when the lifting device 31 is not driven. For example, when the pachinko machine 2 is powered off, the game ball is placed on the pallet 36. Can be prevented from being left unattended. Note that the configuration for tilting the pallet 36 is not limited to the above, and any gear that uses a solenoid or the like as a drive source can be used as long as the front of the pallet 36 is tilted lower than when the lifting device 31 is not driven. An appropriate structure such as a mechanism may be used.
