Description

【０００１】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、電動式パチンコ台の人体のハンドルへの接触を検知する接触検知装置及びパチンコ台の製造方法に関する。
【０００２】
【従来の技術】
電動式のパチンコ台では、人がハンドルに接触している場合のみ、玉の発射等の動作を行わせるので、人がハンドルに接触したか否かを検知している。従来、この人の接触検知には、電磁誘導ノイズを増幅したり、自己発振回路で発振を行い、人がハンドルに接触することにより、発振が停止するのをレベル弁別する静電容量レベル検知方式や人の持っている対地との静電容量と回路上との抵抗により、発振回路で発振された信号が遅延することにより生じる位相差を測定する位相差検知方式等が採用されている。
【０００３】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
上記した従来の人体接触検知は、いずれの方式にしろ、検知動作に対し、人体などのインピーダンス以外に、ハンドルから発振回路を含む検知回路部のインピーダンスが影響し、またパチンコ台毎の静電容量がそれぞれ相違するため、パチンコ台毎の人体接触検知の精度を上げるために、パチンコ台毎の検出感度をボリュウム等で調整する必要があった。
【０００４】
例えば、静電容量式検知方式を例にとると、パチンコ台の静電容量が個々のパチンコ台によって、大、中、小の値域にバラツクとし、中の静電容量であるとして、人体接触検知装置の発振回路の感度を設定すると、これをパチンコ台の静電容量の小なるものに組み込むと感度が大となり、静電容量が大なる人が近づいただけで接触ＯＮの出力を出すことになり、ボリュウムを調整する必要が生じる。また逆に、パチンコ台の静電容量が大なるものに組み込むと感度が小となり、静電容量の小なる人がハンドルに接触してもＯＮしない、つまり検知しないことも生じる。この場合もボリュウムを再調整する必要が生じる。
【０００５】
この発明は上記問題点に着目してなされたものであって、ボリュウムによる再設定などが不要で、それでいて精度良く、人体等の物体の接触を検知し得るパチンコ台の接触検知装置を提供することを目的としている。
【０００６】
【課題を解決するための手段】
この発明のパチンコ台の接触検知装置は、発振回路を有し、パチンコ台の所定の箇所に人体等の物体が接触すると発振強度が変化することにより、人体等の物体の接触を検出するパチンコ台の接触検知装置において、前記所定の箇所を含むパチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ３が予め測定されており、前記発振回路の発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を、前記パチンコ台の静電容量値Ｃ３と、人体等の物体がパチンコ台の所定の箇所に接触した時発生する静電容量値Ｃ１と、この静電容量値Ｃ１に直列接続されることとなり、かつ、その直列接続が前記パチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ３に並列接続されることになるパチンコ台の電源系に影響する静電容量値Ｃ２とを合成した所定の静電容量検知基準値Ｃｄ＝Ｃ３＋Ｃ１・Ｃ２／（Ｃ１＋Ｃ２）で前記発振回路の発振強度が人体等の物体検知となるように設定している。
【０００７】
このパチンコ台の接触検知装置によれば、パチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ３が予め測定されており、発振回路の発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を、測定された静電容量値Ｃ３と、人体が所定箇所に接触した時の静電容量値Ｃ１と、この静電容量値Ｃ１に直列接続されることとなり、かつ、その直列接続が前記パチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ３に並列接続されることになるパチンコ台の電源系に影響する静電容量値Ｃ２とを合成した所定の静電容量検知基準値Ｃｄ＝Ｃ３＋Ｃ１・Ｃ２／（Ｃ１＋Ｃ２）で前記発振回路の発振強度が人体等の物体検知となるように設定している。これにより、パチンコ台の設置後、パチンコ台の所定の箇所（ハンドル）に人体等が接触しない間は発振回路は発振している。人体等が接触すると、検知部の合成容量が所定の静電容量検知基準値Ｃｄとなり、インピーダンスが小さくなり、発振強度が所定レベル以下となり、人体の接触が検知される。
【０００８】
また、この発明のパチンコ台の製造方法は、ハンドルに人体が接触していない状態でパチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ３を測定し、この測定したパチンコ台の静電容量値Ｃ３と、人体等の物体がパチンコ台の所定の箇所に接触した時発生する静電容量値Ｃ１と、この静電容量値Ｃ１に直列接続されることとなり、かつ、その直列接続が前記パチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ３に並列接続されることになる前記パチンコ台の電源系に影響する静電容量値Ｃ２との合成静電容量値Ｃｄ＝Ｃ３＋Ｃ１・Ｃ２／（Ｃ１＋Ｃ２）を検知基準にして、前記人体接触検知装置の発振回路の発振強度が人体等の物体検知となるように、発振回路の発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を選定して、その定数選定した回路素子を前記人体接触検知装置の基板に組み込むようにしている。
【０００９】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、実施の形態により、この発明をさらに詳細に説明する。先ず、この発明の実施形態パチンコ台の接触検知装置の採用原理について説明する。図１は、一般的なパチンコ台の前面図を示している。図１のパチンコ台１の前面には、ハンドル２が設けられている。このハンドル２は、図２に示すように、パチンコ台１の内部でリード線３により、人の検知回路を搭載した基板４に接続されている。
【００１０】
パチンコ台１のハンドル２に人が接触したことにより、静電容量が変化し、この静電容量の変化によって、人体を検知する場合、パチンコ台１に関し、図３に示すように、人の静電容量Ｃ1 、電源・トランス系に影響する静電容量Ｃ2 、及びパチンコ台１自身の持つ静電容量Ｃ3 を考慮する必要がある。
今、検知装置が静電容量式のタッチセンサ５を使用するものとする。人がパチンコ台１のハンドル２に接触していない場合の等価回路は図４に示す通りとなり、タッチセンサ５の入力側にパチンコ台１自身の静電容量Ｃ3 が接続される態様となる。このパチンコ台１自身の静電容量Ｃ3 は、個々の台により異なる値をとるものである。
【００１１】
人がパチンコ台１のハンドル２に触ると、その等価回路は図５に示すものとなる。すなわち、人体の静電容量Ｃ1 に電源系の静電容量Ｃ2 が直列に接続され、この直列回路がパチンコ台１自身の静電容量Ｃ3 に並列に接続された態様となる。その結果、タッチセンサ５側からハンドル２側を見た合成静電容量は、Ｃd ＝Ｃ3 ＋｛Ｃ1 ・Ｃ2 ／（Ｃ1 ＋Ｃ2 ）｝となり、人体が接触した場合に静電容量が増加する。つまり、インピーダンスが減少する。
【００１２】
したがって、タッチセンサ５をパチンコ台１にセットした場合、ハンドル２に人体が接触しない状態でパチンコ台１の静電容量Ｃ3 を測定する。そして、人の静電容量Ｃ1 と、電源系に影響する静電容量Ｃ2 と、パチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ3 とを合成した静電容量を検知基準容量Ｃd とする。これにより、パチンコ台１の静電容量Ｃ3 が個々に相違しても、測定値Ｃ3 を考慮し、タッチセンサ５の発振回路の定数を検知基準容量Ｃd に設定し、Ｃd −Ｃ3 ＝一定となるようにし、人体接触前の全体静電容量を一定としている。
【００１３】
この発明の一実施形態パチンコ台の接触検知装置は、上記の原理を採用し、ボリュウムによる調整を不要としたものである。
この実施形態パチンコ台の接触検知装置では、先ず図６に示すように、ハンドル２と、回路基板４の入力の一端４Ａと、回路基板４のアースパターンの一端４Ｂ間に静電容量計６を接続し、予めこのパチンコ台の静電容量Ｃ3 を測定しておく。この場合、静電容量計６と端子４Ａ、４Ｂを結ぶリード線はできるだけ短くする。
【００１４】
図７は、この実施形態パチンコ台の接触検知用のタッチセンサの構成を示すブロック図である。このタッチセンサ５は、サージ保護回路１１と、発振回路１２と、検波回路１３と、比較回路１４と、出力回路１５と、定電圧回路１６とを備えている。このタッチセンサ５は、タッチ電極（ハンドル）２に、人体が接触していない時、発振回路１２が自励発振しており、その発振出力が検波回路１３で検波され、比較回路１４で比較されて出力回路１５より接触無しを出力する。タッチセンサ５に人体が接触すると、静電容量がパチンコ台１自身の静電容量Ｃ３よりも増加し、インピーダンスが小となるので、発振回路１２の発振が減衰し、比較回路１４には、比較電圧よりも小さな電圧が入力され、出力回路１５は、人体の接触検知を出力する。
【００１５】
この実施形態接触検知装置のタッチセンサでは、パチンコ台１に組み込んだ状態で、上記したように、先ず静電容量計を用いてパチンコ台１自体の静電容量Ｃ3 を測定する。次に、その測定結果に基づいて発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を選択する。今、測定した静電容量Ｃ3 が大、中、小の３段階で中の値であると、発振回路１２の回路定数を検知容量中の定数を選択設定し、測定した静電容量Ｃ3 が大であると、発振回路１２の回路定数を検知容量大の定数を選択設定し、逆に測定した静電容量Ｃ3 が小の値であると、発振回路１２の回路定数を検知容量小のものを選択設定し、いずれの場合も、パチンコ台の静電容量値と選択設定した静電容量の合成値が一定の容量検知基準値となるようにする。
【００１６】
この実施形態パチンコ台の接触検知装置では、いかなる静電容量を持つパチンコ台に接触検知装置をセットしても、人体を接触した状態での静電容量は一定の容量検知基準値となるので、人体をハンドルに接触させると、その容量検知基準値では確実に、発振が減衰して、比較回路１４には、比較電圧より小さな電圧が入力されて、人体の接触を検知することができる。また、静電容量が検知基準値を越えれば発振を停止するようにしておくことにより、確実に発振回路の発振が停止し、精度良く、人体の接触を検知することができる。
【００１７】
また、上記実施形態では、パチンコ台自体の測定値を大、中、小の３段階にして、それぞれ対応して発振回路の発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を選択設定するようにしたが、表等により、さらに細かく選択設定するようにしてもよい。
さらにまた、他の実施形態として、検知装置内にパチンコ台自体の静電容量Ｃ3 を検出する容量検出回路を内蔵し、その検出結果に応じ、発振回路の発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を自動的に選択設定し得るようにしてもよい。
【００１８】
【発明の効果】
この発明によれば、所定の箇所を含むパチンコ台の静電容量が予め測定されており、発振回路の発振強度に係わる回路素子の定数を、パチンコ台の静電容量値と、人体がパチンコ台の所定の箇所に接触した時の静電容量値と電源系に影響する静電容量値とを合成した所定の静電容量検知基準値で人体等の物体検知となるように設定するので、パチンコ台が個別に静電容量が異なる場合でも、人体接触した状態での静電容量は一定の検知基準値なので、人体が接触すると、発振回路の発振が所定レベル以下となるので、人体接触を確実に検知できる。しかも、調整用のボリュウムは不要となる。

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a contact detection device for detecting contact of a motorized pachinko machine with a human body handle and a method for manufacturing the pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
In the electric pachinko machine, since the ball is fired only when the person is in contact with the handle, it is detected whether or not the person has touched the handle. Conventionally, this human contact detection is a capacitance level detection system that amplifies electromagnetic induction noise or oscillates with a self-oscillation circuit, and discriminates that the oscillation stops when a person touches the handle. In addition, a phase difference detection method for measuring a phase difference caused by a delay of a signal oscillated by an oscillation circuit due to a capacitance between the ground and a person and resistance on the circuit is employed.
[0003]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In any of the above-described conventional human body contact detection methods, the impedance of the detection circuit unit including the oscillation circuit from the handle affects the detection operation in addition to the impedance of the human body and the electrostatic capacity of each pachinko machine. Therefore, in order to increase the accuracy of human body contact detection for each pachinko machine, it is necessary to adjust the detection sensitivity for each pachinko machine with a volume or the like.
[0004]
For example, taking the capacitance type detection method as an example, the capacitance of the pachinko machine varies depending on the individual pachinko machine, large, medium, and small value ranges, and the human body contact is detected as the medium capacitance. When the sensitivity of the oscillation circuit of the device is set, if this is incorporated into a pachinko machine with a small electrostatic capacity, the sensitivity will be large, and a contact ON output will be output only by approaching a person with a large electrostatic capacity. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the volume. On the other hand, if the pachinko machine is incorporated in a device with a large capacitance, the sensitivity becomes low, and even if a person with a small capacitance contacts the handle, it does not turn on, that is, does not detect. In this case, it is necessary to readjust the volume.
[0005]
The present invention has been made paying attention to the above-mentioned problems, and provides a pachinko machine contact detection device that can detect the contact of an object such as a human body with high accuracy without the need for resetting by volume and the like. It is an object.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The contact detection device for a pachinko machine according to the present invention includes an oscillation circuit, and a pachinko machine for detecting contact of an object such as a human body by changing an oscillation intensity when an object such as a human body comes into contact with a predetermined portion of the pachinko machine. In this contact detection device, the capacitance C3 of the pachinko machine including the predetermined portion is measured in advance, and the constant of the circuit element related to the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit is set to the capacitance value C3 of the pachinko machine. The capacitance value C1 generated when an object such as a human body comes into contact with a predetermined location of the pachinko machine is connected in series to the capacitance value C1, and the series connection is the static value of the pachinko machine. the oscillation circuit in predetermined capacitance obtained by combining the capacitance value C2 detected reference value Cd = C3 + C1 · C2 / (C1 + C2) that affect the pachinko machine power supply system which is to be connected in parallel to the capacitors C3 Oscillation intensity is set to be object detection such as a human body.
[0007]
According to this pachinko machine contact detection device, the capacitance C3 of the pachinko machine is measured in advance, the constant of the circuit element related to the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit, the measured capacitance value C3, and the human body The capacitance value C1 when contacting a predetermined location and the capacitance value C1 are connected in series, and the series connection is connected in parallel to the capacitance C3 of the pachinko machine. A predetermined capacitance detection reference value Cd = C3 + C1 / C2 / (C1 + C2) obtained by synthesizing the capacitance value C2 affecting the power supply system of the pachinko machine so that the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit can detect an object such as a human body. Is set. As a result, after the pachinko machine is installed, the oscillation circuit oscillates while a human body or the like does not contact a predetermined portion (handle) of the pachinko machine. When a human body or the like comes in contact, the combined capacitance of the detection unit becomes a predetermined capacitance detection reference value Cd , the impedance becomes small, the oscillation intensity becomes a predetermined level or less, and the contact of the human body is detected.
[0008]
In addition, the manufacturing method of the pachinko machine of the present invention measures the capacitance C3 of the pachinko machine in a state where the human body is not in contact with the handle, the measured capacitance value C3 of the pachinko machine, and an object such as a human body. There the capacitance value C1 which occurs when in contact with a predetermined portion of the pachinko machine, will be connected in series to the capacitance value C1, and the series connection is in parallel to the pachinko machine capacitance C3 connected the combined capacitance value of the capacitance value C2 that affect the pachinko stand power supply system which will be Cd = C3 + C1 · C2 / (C1 + C2) in the detection reference oscillation circuit of the human body contact sensor unit The circuit element constant related to the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit is selected so that the oscillation intensity of the human body is detected, and the constant-selected circuit element is incorporated into the substrate of the human body contact detection device . .
[0009]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to embodiments. First, the principle of adoption of a contact detection device for a pachinko machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described. FIG. 1 shows a front view of a typical pachinko machine. A handle 2 is provided on the front surface of the pachinko machine 1 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 2, the handle 2 is connected to a substrate 4 on which a human detection circuit is mounted by a lead wire 3 inside the pachinko machine 1.
[0010]
When a person touches the handle 2 of the pachinko machine 1 and the electrostatic capacity changes, and when the human body is detected by the change of the electrostatic capacity, as shown in FIG. capacitance C 1, the capacitance C 2 which affects the power transformer system, and it is necessary to consider the capacitance C 3 with the pachinko machine 1 itself.
Now, it is assumed that the detection device uses a capacitive touch sensor 5. An equivalent circuit when a person is not in contact with the handle 2 of the pachinko machine 1 is as shown in FIG. 4, and the capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine 1 itself is connected to the input side of the touch sensor 5. The capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine 1 itself has a different value depending on the individual machine.
[0011]
When a person touches the handle 2 of the pachinko machine 1, the equivalent circuit is as shown in FIG. In other words, the capacitance C 2 of the power supply system is connected in series to the capacitance C 1 of the human body, and this series circuit is connected in parallel to the capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine 1 itself. As a result, the combined capacitance when the handle 2 side is viewed from the touch sensor 5 side is C d = C 3 + {C 1 · C 2 / (C 1 + C 2 )}. Capacity increases. That is, the impedance decreases.
[0012]
Therefore, when the touch sensor 5 is set on the pachinko machine 1, the capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine 1 is measured in a state where the human body does not contact the handle 2. Then, a capacitance obtained by synthesizing the human capacitance C 1 , the capacitance C 2 affecting the power supply system, and the capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine is set as a detection reference capacitance C d . Thereby, even if the electrostatic capacitances C 3 of the pachinko machine 1 are different from each other, the measured value C 3 is taken into consideration, and the constant of the oscillation circuit of the touch sensor 5 is set as the detection reference capacitance C d , and C d −C 3 = Constant, and the total capacitance before human contact is constant.
[0013]
A pachinko machine contact detection device according to an embodiment of the present invention employs the above-described principle and eliminates the need for adjustment using a volume.
In this embodiment of the pachinko machine contact detection device, first, as shown in FIG. 6, a capacitance meter 6 is disposed between the handle 2, one end 4 </ b> A of the input of the circuit board 4, and one end 4 </ b> B of the ground pattern of the circuit board 4. Connect and measure the capacitance C 3 of this pachinko machine in advance. In this case, the lead wire connecting the capacitance meter 6 and the terminals 4A and 4B is made as short as possible.
[0014]
FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the touch sensor for contact detection of the pachinko machine according to this embodiment. The touch sensor 5 includes a surge protection circuit 11, an oscillation circuit 12, a detection circuit 13, a comparison circuit 14, an output circuit 15, and a constant voltage circuit 16. In the touch sensor 5 , when the human body is not in contact with the touch electrode (handle) 2, the oscillation circuit 12 self-oscillates, and the oscillation output is detected by the detection circuit 13 and compared by the comparison circuit 14. Then, no contact is output from the output circuit 15. When the human body is in contact with the touch sensor 5, the electrostatic capacity is increased from the capacitance C3 of the pachinko machine 1 itself, because the impedance is small, the oscillation is attenuated oscillation circuit 12, the comparator circuit 14, compares small Sana voltage is input than the voltage, the output circuit 15 outputs a human body contact sensing.
[0015]
In the touch sensor of the contact detection device according to this embodiment, as described above, the capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine 1 itself is first measured using a capacitance meter in a state of being incorporated in the pachinko machine 1. Next, the circuit element constant related to the oscillation intensity is selected based on the measurement result. If the measured capacitance C 3 is a medium value in three stages of large, medium, and small, the circuit constant of the oscillation circuit 12 is selected and set as a constant in the detection capacitance, and the measured capacitance C 3 Is large, the circuit constant of the oscillation circuit 12 is selected and set to a constant having a large detection capacity. Conversely, when the measured capacitance C 3 is a small value, the circuit constant of the oscillation circuit 12 is small. In either case, the combined value of the capacitance value of the pachinko machine and the selected capacitance is set to a constant capacitance detection reference value.
[0016]
In this embodiment of the pachinko machine contact detection device, even if the contact detection device is set on the pachinko machine with any capacitance, the capacitance in the state of contacting the human body is a constant capacitance detection reference value, When the human body is brought into contact with the handle , the oscillation is surely attenuated with the capacitance detection reference value , and a voltage smaller than the comparison voltage is input to the comparison circuit 14 so that the contact of the human body can be detected. Further, by stopping the oscillation when the capacitance exceeds the detection reference value, the oscillation of the oscillation circuit is surely stopped, and the contact of the human body can be detected with high accuracy.
[0017]
Further, in the above embodiment, the measured values of the pachinko machine itself are set in three stages of large, medium, and small, and the circuit element constants related to the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit are selected and set correspondingly. For example, it may be selected and set more finely.
Furthermore, as another embodiment, a capacitance detection circuit for detecting the capacitance C 3 of the pachinko machine itself is built in the detection device, and the constants of the circuit elements related to the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit are set according to the detection result. You may enable it to select and set automatically.
[0018]
【The invention's effect】
According to the present invention, the capacitance of the pachinko machine including the predetermined portion is measured in advance, the constant of the circuit element related to the oscillation intensity of the oscillation circuit, the capacitance value of the pachinko machine, and the human body is the pachinko machine. Because it is set to detect an object such as a human body with a predetermined capacitance detection reference value that is a combination of the capacitance value when contacting a predetermined location and the capacitance value that affects the power supply system. Even if the table has different capacitances, the capacitance when touching the human body is a constant detection reference value, so if the human body touches, the oscillation of the oscillation circuit will be below the specified level, ensuring reliable human body contact. Can be detected. Moreover, no adjustment volume is required.
