Description

本発明は、遊技者が投入する遊技球及び払い出された賞球を受け得る受け皿を具備したパチンコ遊技機に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a pachinko gaming machine equipped with a tray that can receive a game ball thrown by a player and a prize ball that has been paid out.

一般のパチンコ遊技機においては、その前面枠に上皿及び下皿を具備しており、上皿に遊技者が遊技球を投入するとともに、上皿で受けきれない賞球等を下皿にて受け得るよう構成されていた。しかしながら、上皿及び下皿の両者を上下2段に配設する必要上、高さ方向におけるスペースを広く必要とするため、遊技盤の大きさ等に制限が生じてしまうという不具合があった。   In general pachinko gaming machines, the front frame is equipped with an upper plate and a lower plate, and the player throws game balls into the upper plate, and prize balls that cannot be received by the upper plate are placed on the lower plate. It was configured to receive. However, since it is necessary to dispose both the upper and lower dishes in two upper and lower stages and a large space in the height direction is required, there is a problem that the size of the game board is limited.

この不具合を解消すべく、従来、上皿及び下皿を共通の受け皿として単独配設させ、かかる受け皿にて遊技者が投入する遊技球及び払い出される賞球などを受け得る構成としたパチンコ遊技機が提案されるに至っている(例えば、特許文献1参照)。かかるパチンコ遊技機は、受け皿から遊技球の発射装置まで延設して遊技球を一列に整列させ得る球通路レールと、該球通路レールの遊技球を発射装置に送る球送り装置とを具備しており、受け皿及び球通路レールにおける球送り装置直前の位置には、遊技球を落下させ得る球抜き孔が形成されている。   Conventionally, in order to solve this problem, a pachinko gaming machine in which an upper plate and a lower plate are separately arranged as a common receiving plate and can receive a game ball thrown by the player and a prize ball to be paid out in the receiving plate. Has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such a pachinko gaming machine includes a ball passage rail that extends from a tray to a game ball launching device to align the game balls in a line, and a ball feeding device that sends the game balls of the ball passage rail to the launching device. In addition, a ball punching hole through which a game ball can be dropped is formed at a position immediately before the ball feeding device on the tray and the ball passage rail.

そして、遊技終了後の球抜き時には、球抜きのための操作手段を操作することにより受け皿に形成された球抜き孔を開放させ、当該受け皿上の遊技球を賞球箱に落下させるとともに、別途の操作手段を操作して、球通路レールに形成された球抜き孔を開放させ、当該球通路レール上の遊技球をも賞球箱に落下させるよう構成されていた。これにより、単独の受け皿により、遊技終了の際の受け皿及び球通路レールにおける双方の遊技球の回収が行われていた。
特開2004−201963号公報
Then, when removing the ball after the game is finished, by operating the operation means for removing the ball, the ball removal hole formed in the saucer is opened, and the game ball on the saucer is dropped into the prize ball box, and separately By operating the operating means, the ball hole formed in the ball passage rail is opened, and the game ball on the ball passage rail is also dropped into the prize ball box. Thus, both the game balls on the tray and the ball passage rail at the end of the game are collected by the single tray.

A receiving tray 5 that can receive a game ball to be thrown in and a prize ball that has been paid out, and a ball removal button 6 as an operation means are mainly disposed on the front frame 3.

ハンドル4は、遊技者が把持しつつ回動操作することにより、内部の発射装置(不図示)を駆動させ、連続的に遊技盤上へ遊技球を発射させ得るものである。かかるハンドル4には、遊技者の手が触れているか否かを検知するタッチセンサ15(図9参照)が配設されており、該タッチセンサ15の検知状態により、遊技球が遊技盤に発射されているか否かを間接的に判別できるよう構成されている。   The handle 4 is capable of driving an internal launching device (not shown) and continuously launching a game ball onto the game board by being rotated by the player while holding the handle 4. The handle 4 is provided with a touch sensor 15 (see FIG. 9) for detecting whether or not the player's hand is touching, and a game ball is emitted to the game board according to the detection state of the touch sensor 15. It is configured so that it can be indirectly determined whether or not it is performed.

受け皿5は、前面枠3から正面側(遊技者側)に膨出して形成され、遊技者が投入する遊技球、払い戻される賞球又はファウル球等を多数収容し得るもので、その底面の一部に球抜き用の第1球抜き孔9(図5等参照)が形成されるとともに、球通路レール7(図2及び図3参照)と連結されている。かかる球通路レール7は、遊技球を遊技盤に発射する発射装置(不図示)と受け皿5とを連結したもので、当該受け皿5上の遊技球を一列に整列させつつ発射装置まで送るためのものである。   The tray 5 is formed to bulge from the front frame 3 to the front side (player side), and can accommodate a large number of game balls thrown by the player, prize balls or foul balls to be paid back, and the like. A first ball extraction hole 9 (see FIG. 5 and the like) for ball extraction is formed in the portion, and is connected to the ball passage rail 7 (see FIG. 2 and FIG. 3). The ball passage rail 7 is a combination of a launching device (not shown) for launching a game ball onto a game board and a receiving tray 5 for sending the game balls on the receiving tray 5 to the launching device while aligning them in a row. Is.

球通路レール7における発射装置の直前の位置には、図3に示すように、当該球通路レール7上の遊技球を発射装置に送るための球送り装置8が配設されている。即ち、受け皿5上の遊技球は、球通路レール7にて整列されつつ球送り装置8に1個づつ送り込まれ、そこから発射装置内に至った後、該発射装置の駆動により遊技盤に発射されるよう構成されているのである。   As shown in FIG. 3, a ball feeding device 8 for sending a game ball on the ball passage rail 7 to the launching device is disposed at a position immediately before the launching device on the ball passage rail 7. In other words, the game balls on the tray 5 are fed one by one to the ball feeder 8 while being aligned by the ball passage rail 7, and after reaching the launcher from there, they are launched onto the game board by driving the launcher. It is configured to be.

また、受け皿5の底面に形成された第1球抜き孔9は、図4及び図5に示すように、第1作動部材10の動作により、開放又は閉塞され得るものであり、開放により受け皿5上の遊技球が下方に落下し得るよう構成されている。かかる第1作動部材10は、その基端側の揺動軸10aを中心に揺動自在とされるとともに、先端には第1球抜き孔9を閉塞し得る閉塞部10bが形成されている。   Moreover, as shown in FIG.4 and FIG.5, the 1st ball | bowl hole 9 formed in the bottom face of the saucer 5 can be open | released or obstruct | occluded by operation | movement of the 1st operation member 10, and the saucer 5 is opened by opening. The upper game ball is configured to fall downward. The first actuating member 10 is swingable about a rocking shaft 10a on the base end side, and a closing portion 10b capable of closing the first ball extraction hole 9 is formed at the tip.

また、第1作動部材10の基端は、ソレノイドS1(駆動手段)の作動軸S1aと連結されており、当該ソレノイドS1の電気的な駆動により、閉塞位置(図4の状態)にある第1作動部材10を、開放位置(図5の状態)まで揺動させ、第1球抜き孔9を開放させるよう構成されている。尚、ソレノイドS1の駆動が停止すると、スプリングB1の付勢力により、開放位置の第1作動部材10が閉塞位置(初期位置)まで揺動し、第1球抜き孔9を再び閉塞し得るよう構成されている。 Further, the base end of the first actuating member 10 is connected to the actuating shaft S1a of the solenoid S1 (driving means), and the first actuating member 10 is in the closed position (state shown in FIG. 4) by electrical driving of the solenoid S1. The actuating member 10 is swung to the open position (the state shown in FIG. 5) to open the first ball removal hole 9. Incidentally, when the driving of the solenoid S1 is stopped, the biasing force of the spring B1, first actuating member 10 in the open position is swung to the closed position (initial position), as may again closes the first ball vent hole 9 It is configured.

一方、球通路レール7における球送り装置8直前の位置(即ち、球通路レール7の先端位置)には、図6及び図7に示すように、第2球抜き孔11が形成されている。かかる第2球抜き孔11は、同図に示すように、第2作動部材12の動作により、開放又は閉塞され得るものであり、開放により球送り装置8に送られる直前の遊技球が1個づつ下方に落下し得るよう構成されている。かかる第2作動部材12は、その基端側の揺動軸12aを中心に揺動自在とされるとともに、先端には第2球抜き孔11を閉塞し得る閉塞部12bが形成されている。   On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, a second ball removal hole 11 is formed at a position immediately before the ball feeding device 8 on the ball passage rail 7 (that is, the tip position of the ball passage rail 7). As shown in the figure, the second ball punching hole 11 can be opened or closed by the operation of the second actuating member 12, and one game ball immediately before being sent to the ball feeding device 8 by the opening is provided. It is configured to be able to fall downward one by one. The second actuating member 12 is swingable about a swing shaft 12a on the base end side, and a closing portion 12b capable of closing the second ball extraction hole 11 is formed at the tip.

また、第2作動部材12の基端は、ソレノイドS2(駆動手段)の作動軸S2aと連結されており、当該ソレノイドS2の電気的な駆動により、閉塞位置(図6の状態)にある第2作動部材12を、開放位置(図7の状態)まで揺動させ、第2球抜き孔11を開放させるよう構成されている。尚、ソレノイドS2の駆動が停止すると、スプリングB2の付勢力により、開放位置の第2作動部材12が閉塞位置(初期位置)まで揺動し、第2球抜き孔11を再び閉塞し得るよう構成されている。 Further, the base end of the second operating member 12 is connected to the operating shaft S2a of the solenoid S2 (driving means), and the second operating member 12 is in the closed position (state shown in FIG. 6) by electrical driving of the solenoid S2. The actuating member 12 is swung to the open position (state shown in FIG. 7) to open the second ball extraction hole 11. Incidentally, when the driving of the solenoid S2 is stopped, the biasing force of the spring B2, the second actuating member 12 in the open position is swung to the closed position (initial position), again as it may obstruct the second ball vent hole 11 It is configured.

上記した第1球抜き孔9及び第2球抜き孔11は、図8に示すように、球抜き通路13及び連結路14により連結されており、当該球抜き通路13には、下方に開口した排出口13aが形成されている。即ち、第1球抜き孔9から落下した遊技球は、連結路14を介して球抜き通路13を通過し、排出口13aから排出される一方、第2球抜き孔11から落下した遊技球は、球抜き通路13を落下して排出口13aから排出される。これにより、遊技終了の際、排出口13aの下方に賞球箱を保持しておけば、受け皿5上の遊技球と共に球通路レール7上の遊技球をも当該賞球箱に落下させ、回収することができる。   As shown in FIG. 8, the above-described first ball extraction hole 9 and second ball extraction hole 11 are connected by a ball extraction passage 13 and a connection passage 14, and the ball extraction passage 13 opens downward. A discharge port 13a is formed. That is, the game ball dropped from the first ball punch hole 9 passes through the ball pull passage 13 via the connecting path 14 and is discharged from the discharge port 13a, while the game ball dropped from the second ball punch hole 11 is Then, it falls through the ball passage 13 and is discharged from the discharge port 13a. Thus, if the prize ball box is held below the discharge port 13a at the end of the game, the game balls on the ball path rail 7 together with the game balls on the tray 5 are dropped into the prize ball box and collected. can do.

然るに、球抜き通路13は、透明樹脂にて成形されたものから成り、図3に示すように、揺動軸L1及びロックL2を有している。これにより、球抜き通路13に遊技球が詰まっているか否かを外部から目視することができるとともに、ロックL2による係止を外して揺動軸L1を中心に揺動させれば、内部に詰まった遊技球を容易に取り除くことができるよう構成されている。   However, the ball passage 13 is made of a transparent resin, and has a swing shaft L1 and a lock L2 as shown in FIG. As a result, it is possible to visually inspect whether or not the game balls are clogged in the ball removal passage 13, and if the lock by the lock L <b> 2 is released and the rocking shaft L <b> 1 is swung around, the clogging passage 13 is clogged. The game ball is configured to be easily removed.

操作手段としての球抜きボタン6は、ソレノイドS1又はS2による駆動を任意に開始又は停止させ得るものであり、押圧操作している間、ソレノイドS1又はS2を駆動させて、球抜き作業を継続して行わせるとともに、押圧操作を止めることにより、当該ソレノイドS1又はS2の駆動を停止させ、球抜き作業を終了させるよう構成されている。   The ball removal button 6 as an operation means can arbitrarily start or stop driving by the solenoid S1 or S2, and during the pressing operation, the solenoid S1 or S2 is driven to continue the ball removal operation. When the pressing operation is stopped, the driving of the solenoid S1 or S2 is stopped, and the ball removing operation is terminated.

ここで、本実施形態に係る球抜きボタン6は、図9に示すように、アンド回路16及びタイマ回路17と電気的に接続されているとともに、当該アンド回路16はハンドル4に配設されたタッチセンサ15と電気的に接続されている。また、アンド回路16の出力側端子は、配線H1を介してソレノイドS2と電気的に接続されている一方、タイマ回路17の出力側端子は、配線H2及びH3を介してソレノイドS1と電気的に接続されている。   Here, as shown in FIG. 9, the ball removal button 6 according to the present embodiment is electrically connected to the AND circuit 16 and the timer circuit 17, and the AND circuit 16 is disposed on the handle 4. The touch sensor 15 is electrically connected. The output side terminal of the AND circuit 16 is electrically connected to the solenoid S2 via the wiring H1, while the output side terminal of the timer circuit 17 is electrically connected to the solenoid S1 via the wirings H2 and H3. It is connected.

アンド回路16は、タッチセンサ15からの電気信号(遊技者がタッチセンサ15に触れていない非検知信号)と、球抜きボタン6からの電気信号とが両方入力された際、ソレノイドS2に対して駆動電力を供給し、何れか一方の信号の入力では、当該ソレノイドS2に対して駆動電力を供給しない(即ち、停止状態となる)よう構成された回路である。これにより、タッチセンサ15が遊技者のハンドル4への把持を検知せず(即ち、遊技球が遊技盤に発射されていない非発射状態)、且つ、球抜きボタン6が押圧操作された場合に限って、ソレノイドS2を駆動させることができる。   The AND circuit 16 receives the electrical signal from the touch sensor 15 (non-detection signal that the player does not touch the touch sensor 15) and the electrical signal from the ball removal button 6 to the solenoid S2. It is a circuit configured to supply driving power and not to supply the driving power to the solenoid S2 (that is, to enter a stop state) when any one of the signals is input. Thereby, when the touch sensor 15 does not detect the player's grip on the handle 4 (that is, in a non-launching state in which the game ball is not fired on the game board) and the ball removal button 6 is pressed. Only the solenoid S2 can be driven.

また、タイマ回路17は、球抜きボタン6から電気信号が入力されてからの時間を計数し、当該時間が予め設定した所定時間に達するまでは、配線H2を介してソレノイドS1を駆動させるとともに、所定時間経過後は、配線H3を介してソレノイドS1を駆動させ、時間による切り替え制御を可能とする回路である。しかして、配線H2を介してソレノイドS1へ供給される電力は、配線H3を介する電力より大きく設定されており、球抜きボタン6が押圧操作されてから所定時間までは、大きな電力にてソレノイドS1を駆動させ、その後においてはより小さな電力にてソレノイドS1を駆動させ得るよう構成されている。 The timer circuit 17 counts the time from when the electric signal is input from the ball removal button 6 and drives the solenoid S1 via the wiring H2 until the time reaches a predetermined time set in advance. After a predetermined time has elapsed, the solenoid S1 is driven via the wiring H3, and switching control according to time is possible. Thus, the power supplied to the solenoid S1 via the wiring H2 is set to be larger than the power via the wiring H3 , and the solenoid S1 is operated with a large power until a predetermined time after the ball release button 6 is pressed. And thereafter, the solenoid S1 can be driven with smaller electric power.

上記構成により、遊技終了後、遊技者が球抜き操作をしようとして球抜きボタン6を押圧操作すると、遊技球が遊技盤に発射されている発射状態(タッチセンサ15が遊技者のハンドル4への把持を検知)では、アンド回路16の条件に合致しないためソレノイドS2への駆動電力が供給されず、ソレノイドS1への駆動電力の供給のみが行われ、第1作動部材10が駆動して第1球抜き孔9のみを開放させる一方、遊技球が遊技盤に発射されていない非発射状態(タッチセンサ15が遊技者のハンドル4への把持を非検知)では、アンド回路16の条件に合致してソレノイドS2及びソレノイドS1の両者に駆動電力が供給され、第1作動部材10及び第2作動部材12が駆動して第1球抜き孔9及び第2球抜き孔11の両方を開放させる。   With the above configuration, after the game is over, when the player presses the ball removal button 6 in an attempt to perform the ball removal operation, the game ball is fired on the game board (the touch sensor 15 is applied to the player's handle 4). In the detection of gripping), since the condition of the AND circuit 16 is not met, the driving power is not supplied to the solenoid S2, only the driving power is supplied to the solenoid S1, and the first actuating member 10 is driven to perform the first operation. In the non-firing state in which only the ball punching hole 9 is opened and the game ball is not fired on the game board (the touch sensor 15 does not detect gripping of the player's handle 4), the condition of the AND circuit 16 is met. Then, driving power is supplied to both the solenoid S2 and the solenoid S1, and the first operating member 10 and the second operating member 12 are driven to open both the first ball extraction hole 9 and the second ball extraction hole 11.

即ち、遊技継続中である発射状態においては、球抜きボタン6を押圧操作しても第2球抜き孔11は開放されず、第1球抜き孔9からのみ球抜きが行われるため、誤って球通路レール7からの球抜きを行ってしまうことを確実に回避でき、意図せず遊技球が発射できなくなってしまうことを防止することができる。また、非発射状態においては、球抜きボタン6を押圧操作するだけで、第1球抜き孔9及び第2球抜き孔11の両方から球抜きが行われるため、別個の操作手段を具備したものに比べ、受け皿5及び球通路レール7の球抜き操作を良好とすることができる。   That is, in the launch state in which the game continues, the second ball removal hole 11 is not opened even if the ball removal button 6 is pressed, and the ball removal is performed only from the first ball removal hole 9. It is possible to reliably avoid removing the ball from the ball passage rail 7 and prevent the game ball from being unintentionally fired. In the non-firing state, the ball removal is performed from both the first ball removal hole 9 and the second ball removal hole 11 simply by pressing the ball removal button 6. Compared to the above, the ball removal operation of the tray 5 and the ball passage rail 7 can be improved.

また、単に球抜きボタン6を操作するだけで、受け皿5及び球通路レール7の球抜き操作を良好とするとともに、遊技中における球通路レール7の球抜きを防止することができるので、遊技者は、発射状態であるか非発射状態であるかを意識することがなく、良好に遊技を行うことができる。更に、一般にパチンコ遊技機への適用が普及しているタッチセンサ15が遊技者のハンドル4への把持を検知することにより発射状態を認識するので、既存のパチンコ遊技機への適用が容易であり、製造コストを抑制することができる。   Further, by simply operating the ball removal button 6, it is possible to improve the ball removal operation of the tray 5 and the ball passage rail 7, and to prevent the ball passage rail 7 from being removed during the game. Can play a game well without being aware of whether it is in a fired state or a non-fired state. Furthermore, since the touch sensor 15 that is generally applied to pachinko gaming machines recognizes the launch state by detecting the player's grip on the handle 4, it can be easily applied to existing pachinko gaming machines. The manufacturing cost can be suppressed.

また更に、球抜きボタン6が押圧操作されてから所定時間までは、大きな電力にてソレノイドS1を駆動させ、その後においてはより小さな電力にてソレノイドS1を駆動させ得るので、例えばハンドル4を把持しつつ球抜きボタン6の押圧状態を長時間に亘って維持させた場合であっても、ソレノイドS1が過熱して電気的不具合を生じるのを抑制することができる。   Furthermore, the solenoid S1 can be driven with a large electric power until a predetermined time after the ball release button 6 is pressed, and thereafter the solenoid S1 can be driven with a smaller electric power. However, even if the pressed state of the ball removal button 6 is maintained for a long time, it is possible to suppress the solenoid S1 from overheating and causing an electrical failure.

以上、本実施形態について説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えばタッチセンサ15が遊技者のハンドル4への把持を検知することにより発射状態が認識されるものに代え、ハンドル4の回動操作を直接検知し、これにより発射状態が認識されるものとしてもよい。かかる構成によれば、遊技球の遊技盤への発射状態を直接的に検知することができ、より正確な球抜き作業を行わせることができる。   As described above, the present embodiment has been described, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the touch sensor 15 detects that the player has grasped the handle 4, and the firing state is recognized. It is also possible to directly detect the turning operation of the handle 4 and thereby recognize the launch state. According to such a configuration, it is possible to directly detect the state in which the game ball is launched onto the game board, and it is possible to perform a more accurate ball removal operation.

更に、本実施形態におけるパチンコ遊技機においては、第1作動部材10及び第2作動部材12を駆動するための駆動手段として、ソレノイドS1及びS2の2つを具備しているが、これらを電気的に駆動可能とするものであれば、他の駆動手段としてもよく、或いは1つの駆動手段にて選択的に第1作動部材10及び第2作動部材12を駆動し得るものとしてもよい。   Further, the pachinko gaming machine according to the present embodiment includes two solenoids S1 and S2 as driving means for driving the first operating member 10 and the second operating member 12, but these are electrically connected. As long as it can be driven, other driving means may be used, or the first operating member 10 and the second operating member 12 may be selectively driven by one driving means.

操作手段による球抜き開始の操作が行われた場合、遊技球が遊技盤に発射されている発射状態では、第1球抜き孔のみを開放させるべく駆動手段が第1作動部材のみを駆動させ、遊技球が遊技盤に発射されていない非発射状態では、第1球抜き孔及び第2球抜き孔の両者を開放させるべく駆動手段が第1作動部材及び第2作動部材を駆動させるパチンコ遊技機であれば、外観形状が異なるもの或いは他の機能が付加されたものにも適用することができる。   When the operation of starting the ball removal by the operation means is performed, in the launch state in which the game ball is being fired on the game board, the drive means drives only the first operating member to open only the first ball removal hole, In a non-firing state in which the game ball is not fired on the game board, a pachinko gaming machine in which the driving means drives the first actuating member and the second actuating member so as to open both the first ball punching hole and the second ball punching hole. If so, the present invention can be applied to ones having different appearance shapes or other functions added.
