Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、パチンコ機の遊技盤に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
実開昭５５−７２９８６号公報には入賞口装置を備えたパチンコ機の遊技盤が開示されている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
前記従来の遊技盤では、遊技盤の前面側より取込まれた入賞球を遊技盤の前面側に排出する通過型入賞口装置と、通過型入賞口装置より下方で遊技盤の前面側より取込まれた入賞球を遊技盤の裏面側に排出する取込型入賞口装置とが混在するか、又は、全部の入賞口装置が取込型に形成されており、取込型入賞口装置が遊技盤の裏面側に排出した入賞球を集めて所定の方向に誘導排出する、セット盤や集合樋等と呼ばれる球寄せ部材が遊技盤の裏面に取付けられた構造である。このため、球寄せ部材が入賞口装置に設けられた球検出器と遊技盤の裏面側に設けられた制御装置とを接続する配線の邪魔となり、配線の引回しが制約を受けることがある。又、球寄せ部材が上記制御装置やその他の電気部品と遊技盤との間に存在した場合には、遊技盤の前後幅が大きくなり、パチンコ店におけるパチンコ機を設置する設備である島の前後幅を小型化するにも限度がある。
【０００４】
そこで、本発明は、遊技盤の裏面より球寄せ部材を除去し得るパチンコ機の遊技盤を提供するものである。
【０００５】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明にあっては、遊技盤の前面である化粧盤面のガイドレールで囲まれた内側の遊技領域に設けられた複数の入賞口装置の全部が遊技領域の前面側より取込まれた入賞球を遊技領域に排出する通過型に形成され、これらの入賞口装置が入賞球検出器を個別に備える一方、化粧盤面には発射された球をガイドレールと内側レールとの間で化粧盤面に沿って下部より取込んで遊技領域の上部に誘導排出する発射球通路と、球を遊技領域からガイドレールの右側下部と発射球通路の内側面を形成する内側レールとの間を経由して化粧盤面に沿って上部より取込んで遊技盤の裏側に排出することなく下方に誘導して排出する集合通路とが設けられ、集合通路には全球検出器が設けられ、上記入賞球検出器と全球検出器とのそれぞれが遊技盤を前後方向に貫通し、これらの入賞球検出器と全球検出器とのそれぞれにおける球検出孔が化粧盤面より前側に突出し、これらの入賞球検出器と全球検出器とのそれぞれにおける外部端子が遊技盤の裏面側に突出したことを特徴としている。よって、本発明によれば、遊技領域に設けられた複数の入賞口装置の全部が入賞球検出器を備えた通過型であるので、遊技盤の裏面に球寄せ部材を設ける必要がなく、遊技盤の裏面側での配線の引回しが容易となるうえ、遊技盤の裏面に設けられる制御装置等の電気部品を含む遊技盤の前後幅を小さくすることができる。しかも、集合通路が遊技領域から取込んだ球を化粧盤面の裏側に排出することなく化粧盤面から化粧盤面の下部に排出する形態であって、この集合通路が全球検出器を備えたので、球の計数管理が遊技盤側で一括して行える。さらに、入賞球検出器と全球検出器とのそれぞれにおける外部端子が遊技盤の裏面側に突出しているので、これらの遊技盤の裏面側に突出した外部端子に遊技盤の裏面側における制御装置の外部端子を容易に接続することができる。又、本発明にあっては、複数の入賞口装置が、普通入賞球検出器を備えた普通入賞口装置と、始動入賞球検出器を備えた始動入賞口装置と、特別入賞球検出器と左右の一般入賞球検出器とを備えた変動入賞口装置であって、変動入賞口装置が始動入賞口装置よりも下方に分離して配置され、変動入賞口装置の特別入賞球検出器の球検出孔が始動入賞球検出器の球検出孔の下方に配置され、一般入賞球検出器の球検出孔が特別入賞球検出器の球検出孔の左右両側に配置されれば、球が遊技領域から始動入賞口装置に入り、始動入賞球検出器の球検出孔を通った球が特別入賞球検出器の球検出孔に入り易くなるとともに特別入賞球検出器の球検出孔に入らなくとも一般入賞球検出器の球検出孔に入り易くなる。又、本発明にあっては、入賞球検出器と全球検出器とのそれぞれにおける遊技盤の裏面側に突出した外部端子には、遊技盤の裏面側における制御装置の外部端子が嵌め込まれて接続されれば、入賞球検出器と制御装置との配線および全球検出器と制御装置との配線が簡素化される。又、本発明にあっては、制御装置が遊技盤の裏面に取付けられれば、入賞球検出器の外部端子と制御装置の外部端子との接続および全球検出器と制御装置の外部端子との接続ががたつくことなく適切に維持できる。
【０００６】
【発明の実施の形態】
図１〜図４は本発明の第１実施形態であって、図１は遊技盤１の正面を示し、図２は図１をＡ−Ａ線に沿い切断した断面を示し、図３は図柄始動入賞口装置の外観を示し、図４は変動入賞口装置の外観を示す。
【０００７】
図１を参照し、遊技盤１の前面側について説明する。遊技盤１の前面はデザイン図で装飾された化粧盤面として形成されており、化粧盤面にはガイドレール２で囲まれた内側の遊技領域３を備える。遊技領域３には、センター役物としての図柄表示装置４、風車５、始動入賞口装置６、普通入賞口装置７、変動入賞口装置８、集合通路９、発射球通路１０、図外の多数の遊技釘や障害釘と呼ばれる釘又は釘に代る突起等の遊技部品が配置される。始動入賞口装置６と普通入賞口装置７及び変動入賞口装置８等の全部の入賞口装置は、遊技盤１の化粧盤面側より取込まれた入賞球を遊技盤１の化粧盤面側に排出する通過型に形成される。始動入賞口装置６、普通入賞口装置７、変動入賞口装置８や集合通路９には球検出器１１；１２；１３；１４；１５が遊技盤１の前面側より直接的には見えないように個別に設けられる。遊技盤１は外枠とこれにヒンジで片開き可能に取付けられた前枠とからなる遊技機枠体に装着されたものであって、遊技機枠体と分離自在な形態である。
【０００８】
以下、始動入賞口装置６の球検出器１１は始動入賞球検出器と称呼し、普通入賞口装置７の球検出器１２は普通入賞球検出器と称呼する。変動入賞口装置８には複数の球検出器１３；１４が設けられており、そのうち１つの中央の球検出器１３は特別入賞球検出器と称呼し、左右２つの球検出器１４は一般入賞球検出器と称呼する。集合通路９の球検出器１５は全球検出器と称呼する。
【０００９】
集合通路９はガイドレール２の右側下部１６と発射球通路１０の内側面を形成する内側レール１７とによりそれらの間に形成されており、遊技領域３から球を遊技盤１の化粧盤面に沿って上部より取込んで下方に誘導して排出する。発射球通路１０はガイドレール２と内側レール１７とによりそれらの間に形成されており、図外の球発射装置より発射された球を遊技盤１の化粧盤面に沿って下部より取込んで遊技領域３の上部に誘導排出する。
【００１０】
図２を参照し、遊技盤１と遊技部品との前後関係について説明する。ガイドレール２は遊技盤１の化粧盤面より前側に突出するように遊技盤１に取付けられる。図柄表示装置４、始動入賞口装置６、普通入賞口装置７、変動入賞口装置８及び全球検出器１５は遊技盤１を前後に貫通するように遊技盤１に取付けられる。図柄表示装置４の笠状の上部飾り４ａやフランジ４ｂ、始動入賞口装置６の入賞口部６ａやフランジ６ｂ、普通入賞口装置７の入賞口部７ａやフランジ７ｂ、変動入賞口装置８の入賞口部８ａやフランジ８ｂ、始動入賞球検出器１１の球検出孔１１ａ、普通入賞球検出器１２の球検出孔１２ａ、特別入賞球検出器１３の球検出孔１３ａ、一般入賞球検出器１４の球検出孔１４ａ、全球検出器１５の球検出孔１５ａやフランジ１５ｃは遊技盤１の化粧盤面より前側に突出する。図柄表示装置４の液晶のようなディスプレイ４ｃは図柄表示装置４のケーシング４ｄの内部に格納されている。
【００１１】
図柄表示装置４の外部端子４ｅ、始動入賞球検出器１１の外部端子１１ｂ、普通入賞球検出器１２の外部端子１２ｂ、特別入賞球検出器１３の外部端子１３ｂ、一般入賞球検出器１４の外部端子１４ｂ、全球検出器１５の外部端子１５ｂは遊技盤１の裏面側に突出する。これらの外部端子４ｅ；１１ｂ；１２ｂ；１３ｂ；１４ｂ；１５ｂと制御装置１８の外部端子１８ａ；１８ｂ；１８ｃ；１８ｄ；１８ｅ；１８ｆとが互いに前後方向で嵌め込まれて接続される。制御装置１８の脚部１８ｇが遊技盤１の裏面に止ねじ１９で締結されることにより、制御装置１８が遊技盤１に取付けられる。
【００１２】
第１実施形態では始動入賞口装置６の構造と普通入賞口装置７の構造とは基本的に同じであるが、始動入賞口装置６に入賞した球を検出した始動入賞球検出器１１からの信号により賞球払出制御と図柄表示装置４による図柄合せ遊技制御とが行われるのに対し、普通入賞口装置７に入賞した球を検出した普通入賞球検出器１２からの信号により賞球払出制御だけが行なわれる点が相違する。よって、始動入賞口装置６と普通入賞口装置７との内部構造については、始動入賞口装置６を図３に例示して説明する。
【００１３】
図３において、始動入賞口装置６では、前後に長い本体部６ｃの内部に前後方向に貫通するように形成されたセンサ用孔６ｄ、本体部６ｃの前後方向中間部より外側に突出するように形成された装飾性の有るフランジ６ｂ、フランジ６ｂに前後方向に貫通するように形成された取付孔６ｅ、フランジ６ｂより前側に突出した本体部６ｃに上下方向に貫通するように形成された入賞口部６ａが合成樹脂により一体に形成される。入賞口部６ａとセンサ用孔６ｄとは互いに直交する状態で互いに連なる。
【００１４】
始動入賞球検出器１１の球検出孔１１ａは１個の球は通過可能であるが２個以上の球は同時に通過不可能な孔径である。球検出孔１１ａが先頭となるように、始動入賞球検出器１１が始動入賞口装置６の後側よりセンサ用孔６ｄに嵌め込まれて本体部６ｃに装着される。その状態において、外部端子１１ｂは本体部６ｃより後側に突出する。そして、球が入賞口部６ａより球検出孔１１ａを通過する際に、始動入賞球検出器１１が球を検出した信号を図２の制御装置１８に外部端子１１ｂ；１８ｃを経由して出力する。
【００１５】
図４を参照し、変動入賞口装置８について説明する。変動入賞口装置８では、横長な本体部８ｃの内部に前後方向に貫通するように形成された３つのセンサ用孔８ｄ、本体部８ｃの前後方向中間部より外側に突出するように形成された装飾性の有るフランジ８ｂ、フランジ８ｂに前後方向に貫通するように形成された取付孔８ｅ、フランジ８ｂより前側に突出した本体部８ｃに上下方向に貫通するように形成された３つの入賞口部８ａが合成樹脂により一体に形成される。入賞口部８ａとセンサ用孔８ｄとは互いに直交する状態で互いに連なる。
【００１６】
特別入賞球検出器１３の球検出孔１３ａは１個の球は通過可能であるが２個以上の球は同時に通過不可能な孔径である。球検出孔１３ａが先頭となるように、特別入賞球検出器１３が変動入賞口装置８の後側より中央のセンサ用孔８ｄに嵌め込まれて本体部８ｃに装着される。その状態において、外部端子１３ｂは本体部８ｃより後側に突出する。そして、球が入賞口部８ａより球検出孔１３ａを通過する際に、特別入賞球検出器１３が球を検出した信号を図２の制御装置１８に外部端子１３ｂ；１８ｄを経由して出力する。
【００１７】
一般入賞球検出器１４の球検出孔１４ａは１個の球は通過可能であるが２個以上の球は同時に通過不可能な孔径である。球検出孔１４ａが先頭となるように、一般入賞球検出器１４が変動入賞口装置８の後側より両側のセンサ用孔８ｄに嵌め込まれて本体部８ｃに装着される。その状態において、外部端子１４ｂは本体部８ｃより後側に突出する。そして、球が入賞口部８ａより球検出孔１４ａを通過する際に、一般入賞球検出器１４が球を検出した信号を図２の制御装置１８に外部端子１４ｂ；１８ｅを経由して出力する。
【００１８】
第１実施形態の構造によれば、遊技盤１に設けられる始動入賞口装置６、普通入賞口装置７、変動入賞口装置８等の全部の入賞口装置が、始動入賞球検出器１１、普通入賞球検出器１２、特別入賞球検出器１３、一般入賞球検出器１４等の球検出器を備えた通過型に構成されているので、遊技盤１の裏面に球寄せ部材を設ける必要がなく、遊技盤１の裏面側での配線の引回しが容易となる。しかも、遊技盤１の裏面に設けられる制御装置１８等の電気部品を含む遊技盤１の前後幅Ｈが小さくなる。遊技盤１の化粧盤面には集合通路９及び全球検出器１５が設けられたので、集合通路９が化粧盤面に発射された全部の球を遊技領域に沿って上部より取込んで下方に誘導して排出し、全球検出器１５が集合通路９を流下する球を検出するので、遊技盤１側で球の計数管理を一括して行うことができる。図柄表示装置４の外部端子４ｅ、始動入賞球検出器１１の外部端子１１ｂ、普通入賞球検出器１２の外部端子１２ｂ、特別入賞球検出器１３の外部端子１３ｂ、一般入賞球検出器１４の外部端子１４ｂ、全球検出器１５の外部端子１５ｂと、制御装置１８の外部端子１８ａ；１８ｂ；１８ｃ；１８ｄ；１８ｅ；１８ｆとが互いに前後方向で嵌め込まれて接続されたので、球検出器と制御装置１８との接続構造が配線で接続する場合に比べて簡素化できる。制御装置１８が遊技盤１の裏面に取付けられたので、上記外部端子４ｅ；１１ｂ；１２ｂ；１３ｂ；１４ｂ；１５ｂと外部端子１８ａ〜１８ｆとの接続ががたつくことなく適切に維持できる。
【００１９】
制御装置１８が起動して始動入賞球検出器１１や特別入賞球検出器１３及び一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号を入力しておらず、特別入賞球検出器１３及び一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号の入力を不許可とした状態において、遊技盤１の発射球通路１０から遊技領域３に打出された球が始動入賞口装置６に入賞し、始動入賞球検出器１１からの球検出信号が制御装置１８に入力されると、制御装置１８が賞球払出処理及び図柄可変遊技処理を実行する。その賞球払出処理結果として図外の球払出装置が賞球を払出し、図柄可変遊技処理結果として図柄表示装置４が図柄可変動作する。
【００２０】
そして、図柄表示装置４で図柄が停止し、その停止図柄が制御装置１８に設定された特定図柄のような当り図柄に揃うと、制御装置１８が大当り処理を実行し変動入賞口装置８の特別入賞球検出器１３からの球検出信号及び一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号の入力を許可する。その状態において、変動入賞口装置８に入賞した球が特別入賞球検出器１３又は一般入賞球検出器１４で検出されることにより、特別入賞球検出器１３からの球検出信号又は一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号が制御装置１８に入力されると、制御装置１８が賞球払出処理を実行する。その賞球払出処理結果として図外の球払出装置が賞球を払出す。
【００２１】
制御装置１８が上記図柄表示装置４による大当り処理の開始からの所定時間内又は所定個数の入賞計数内に特別入賞球検出器１３からの球検出信号の入力を検出しない場合は、制御装置１８は大当り処理を終了して大当りによる継続遊技を終了すると共に特別入賞球検出器１３又は一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号の入力を一旦不許可にする。逆に、制御装置１８が上記図柄表示装置４による大当り処理の開始からの所定時間内又は所定個数の入賞計数内に特別入賞球検出器１３からの球検出信号の入力を検出した場合は、所定時間内又は所定個数の入賞計数終了後に、制御装置１８は１回の大当り処理を終了すると共に特別入賞球検出器１３又は一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号の入力を一旦不許可とした後に次の回の大当りによる継続遊技処理を開始し特別入賞球検出器１３からの球検出信号又は一般入賞球検出器１４からの球検出信号の入力を再度許可する。
【００２２】
制御装置１８による球検出信号の入力許可・不許可は図外の表示灯や音声又は効果音等で遊技者に報知しても良い。又、普通入賞口装置７に入賞した球が普通入賞球検出器１２で検出されることにより、普通入賞球検出器１２からの球検出信号が制御装置１８に入力されると、制御装置１８が賞球払出処理を実行する。その賞球払出処理結果として図外の球払出装置が賞球を払出す。
【００２３】
図５及び図６は本発明の第２実施形態であって、図５は変動入賞口装置２０の外観を示し、図６は変動入賞口装置２０周りの遊技盤１の断面を示す。図５において、変動入賞口装置２０では、横長な本体部２０ａの内部に前後方向に移動可能に嵌め込まれたセンサ配置部２０ｂ、センサ配置部２０ｂに前後方向に貫通するように形成された３つのセンサ用孔２０ｃ、本体部２０ａの前部より外側に突出するように形成された装飾性の有るフランジ２０ｄ、フランジ２０ｄに前後方向に貫通するように形成された取付孔２０ｅ、センサ配置部２０ｂの前部に上下方向に貫通するように形成された３つの入賞口部２０ｆを備える。センサ用孔２０ｃと入賞口部２０ｆとは互いに直交する状態で互いに連なる。
【００２４】
球検出孔１３ａや球検出孔１４ａが先頭となるように、特別入賞球検出器１３及び一般入賞球検出器１４が変動入賞口装置８の後側より中央のセンサ用孔８ｄに嵌め込まれてセンサ配置部２０ｂに装着される。その状態において、外部端子１３ｂ；１４ｂは本体部２０ａより裏面側に突出したセンサ配置部２０ｂより後側に突出する。外部端子１３ｂ；１４ｂと干渉しないように、センサ配置部２０ｂの裏面側に設けられたアクチュエータ連結部２０ｇには、センサ配置部２０ｂを本体部２０ａに対して前後方向に駆動するアクチュエータとしての電磁ソレノイド２１における可動部２１ａの先端部が、上方より下方に嵌め込み装着される。
【００２５】
図６において、変動入賞口装置２０が遊技盤１を前後に貫通するように遊技盤１に取付けられ、変動入賞口装置２０のアクチュエータ連結部２０ｇに結合された電磁ソレノイド２１が遊技盤１の裏面に取付けられ、特別入賞球検出器１３の外部端子１３ｂや一般入賞球検出器１４の外部端子１４ｂと制御装置１８の外部端子１８ｄ；１８ｅとが配線２２により接続された状態において、制御装置１８には電磁ソレノイド２１の逃げるための切欠部１８ｈが形成されている。
【００２６】
第２実施形態の構造によれば、センサ配置部２０ｂが電磁ソレノイド２１により遊技盤１に対し前後方向に駆動可能に設けられており、始動入賞球検出器１１からの球検出信号が制御装置１８に入力されるまで、制御装置１８が変動入賞口装置２０への入賞を禁止し得るために電磁ソレノイド２１を後退制御する。この後退制御により、センサ配置部２０ｂが本体部２０ａに対して矢印Ｘ１方向に後退し、本体部２０ａからの入賞口部２０ｆの前方への突出量が減少し、入賞口部２０ｆは球を取込むことが不可能となる。
【００２７】
そして、始動入賞球検出器１１からの球検出信号が制御装置１８に入力され、図柄表示装置４の停止図柄が特定図柄で停止すると、制御装置１８が変動入賞口装置２０への入賞を許可し得るために電磁ソレノイド２１を前進制御する。この前進制御により、センサ配置部２０ｂが本体部２０ａに対して矢印Ｘ２方向に前進し、本体部２０ａからの入賞口部２０ｆの前方への突出量が増大し、入賞口部２０ｆは球を取込むことが可能となる。
【００２８】
電磁ソレノイド２１の前進制御や後退制御は、制御装置１８による球検出信号の許可・不許可に合せれば良い。遊技盤１と制御装置１８との間には隙間が形成されており、センサ配置部２０ｂが後退した場合でも、上記隙間により、センサ配置部２０ｂや外部端子１８ｄ；１８ｅが制御装置１８と干渉することはない。
【００２９】
制御装置１８と電磁ソレノイド２１とは、図外の配線で接続されるか、又は、電磁ソレノイド２１の図外の外部端子と制御装置１８の図外の外部端子との前後方向での嵌め合いによって接続可能である。
