Description
本発明はパチンコ遊技機の球誘導装置に関し、特に、ガイド筒体に螺旋回転体が回転自在に収容支持されて、ガイド筒体の内部に螺旋通路が形成されたものである。 The present invention relates to a ball guidance device for a pachinko gaming machine, and in particular, a guide cylinder is rotatably accommodated and supported by a spiral rotating body, and a spiral passage is formed inside the guide cylinder.
従来、パチンコ遊技機において、遊技領域に発射された遊技球を誘導する球誘導装置として、球入口と球出口とを上下両端部に有するガイド筒体と、このガイド筒体に回転自在に収容支持されてガイド筒体の内部に球入口と球出口とに連通する螺旋通路を形成する螺旋回転体とを備えたもの（例えば、特許文献１，２参照）が公知である。 Conventionally, in a pachinko gaming machine, as a ball guidance device for guiding a game ball launched into a game area, a guide cylinder having a ball inlet and a ball outlet at both upper and lower ends, and a guide cylinder that is rotatably accommodated and supported There is a known one having a spiral rotating body that forms a spiral passage communicating with a sphere inlet and a sphere outlet inside the guide cylinder (for example, see Patent Documents 1 and 2).
特許文献１に記載の球誘導装置では、螺旋回転体が電動モータで回転駆動されて、遊技球が螺旋回転体から落下する位置が変化する。この球誘導装置は、所謂羽根物パチンコ機のセンタ役内に設けられ、遊技球をセンタ役物内の上部ステージから下部ステージに誘導する。遊技球が螺旋回転体から落下する位置が変化するため、遊技球がセンタ役物内のＶゾーンに入賞し易くなったり入賞しにくくなったりする。 In the ball guiding device described in Patent Document 1, the position where the game ball falls from the spiral rotating body changes when the spiral rotating body is rotationally driven by the electric motor. This ball guidance device is provided in the center role of a so-called feather pachinko machine, and guides the game ball from the upper stage in the center role to the lower stage. Since the position at which the game ball falls from the spiral rotating body changes, it becomes easy for the game ball to win the V zone in the center accessory or difficult to win.
特許文献２に記載の球誘導装置では、螺旋回転体が遊技球の自重で回転して、遊技球が螺旋回転体から落下する位置が変化する。この球誘導装置は、センタ役物に設けられ、遊技球をセンタ役物の上部から下部のステージに誘導する。そのステージの下側に始動入賞口が設けられ、この始動入賞口への遊技球の入賞を契機に所定条件が成立した場合に大入賞口が開放される。遊技球が螺旋回転体から落下する位置が変化するため、遊技球が始動入賞口に入賞し易くなったり入賞しにくくなったりする。 In the ball guiding device described in Patent Document 2, the position of the game sphere falling from the spiral rotator changes as the spiral rotator rotates with its own weight. This ball guidance device is provided in the center role and guides the game ball from the upper part of the center role to the lower stage. A start winning opening is provided below the stage, and the large winning opening is opened when a predetermined condition is established when a game ball wins the start winning opening. Since the position at which the game ball falls from the spiral rotating body changes, it becomes easier for the game ball to win the start winning opening or it becomes difficult to win.
特許文献１，２のようなガイド筒体と螺旋回転体とを備えた球誘導装置では、球入口からガイド筒体の内部に先の遊技球が入ってから次の遊技球が入る迄の入球間時間と、球出口からガイド筒体の外部に前記先の遊技球が出てから次の遊技球が出る迄の排出間時間は略同一になる。特許文献１には、螺旋回転体の回転速度や回転方向を変化させることで、遊技球の落下に変化を持たせることが開示されているが、前記入球間時間に対して前記排出間時間を変化させることは困難である。 In the ball guiding device including the guide cylinder and the spiral rotating body as in Patent Documents 1 and 2, the entry from the entrance of the ball to the inside of the guide cylinder until the next game ball enters The inter-ball time is substantially the same as the discharge time from the ball exit to the outside of the guide cylinder until the next game ball comes out. Patent Document 1 discloses that the fall of the game ball is changed by changing the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the spiral rotating body. It is difficult to change.
この球誘導装置において、遊技球を入賞口近くに誘導するものでは、複数の遊技球が入賞口近くに短時間間隔で連続的に誘導される場合があり、こうして連続誘導され複数の遊技球が互いに接触して、入賞口に入賞し易い状態の遊技球が他の遊技球に阻害されて入賞口に入賞しにくい状態になる場合がある。例えば、パチンコ遊技機が、始動入賞口と、この始動入賞口への遊技球の入賞を契機に所定条件が成立した場合に開放される大入賞口と、始動入賞口の上側に設けられ遊技球が転動すると共に遊技球を始動入賞口へ案内する入賞案内部を有するステージを備え、そのステージに遊技球を誘導する場合である。 In this ball guidance device, in which a game ball is guided near the winning opening, a plurality of gaming balls may be continuously guided near the winning opening at short intervals, and thus the plurality of gaming balls are continuously guided and In some cases, the game balls that are in contact with each other and are likely to win the winning hole are blocked by other game balls and are difficult to win the winning hole. For example, a pachinko machine is provided with a start winning opening, a large winning opening that is opened when a predetermined condition is established with the winning of a game ball in the starting winning opening, and a gaming ball provided above the starting winning opening. This is a case where a stage having a winning guide section for guiding the game ball to the start winning opening is provided and the game ball is guided to the stage.
この場合、遊技球がステージに誘導され入賞案内部に入ると、始動入賞口に入る可能性が高くなるが、複数の遊技球がステージに短時間間隔で連続的に誘導されると、ステージ上で互いに接触して、入賞案内部に入り易い動きの遊技球が他の遊技球に阻害されて入賞案内部に入りにくい動きとなり、遊技球が入賞案内部に入る可能性、つまり遊技球が始動入賞口に入賞する可能性が低くなることがある。 In this case, when the game ball is guided to the stage and enters the winning guidance section, the possibility of entering the start winning opening increases. However, if a plurality of game balls are continuously guided to the stage at short intervals, The game balls that are in contact with each other and easily move into the winning guide part are blocked by other gaming balls and become difficult to enter the winning guide part, and the game ball may enter the winning guide part, that is, the game ball starts. There is a possibility that the chance of winning a prize is reduced.
本発明の目的は、パチンコ遊技機の球誘導装置において、球入口からガイド筒体の内部に先の遊技球が入ってから次の遊技球が入る迄の入球間時間に対して、球出口からガイド筒体の外部に前記先の遊技球が出てから次の遊技球が出る迄の排出間時間を変更し、特に、前記入球間時間よりも前記排出間時間を長くすることで、複数の遊技球が入賞口近くに短時間間隔で連続的に誘導されないようにして、複数の遊技球が入賞口近くで互いに接触して、入賞口に入賞し易い状態の遊技球が他の遊技球に阻害されて入賞口に入賞しにくい状態になることを抑制すること、等である。 It is an object of the present invention to provide a ball guidance device for a pachinko gaming machine, in which the ball exit is determined with respect to the time between entering the ball from the ball entrance to the inside of the guide tube until the next game ball enters. By changing the discharge time from the previous game ball to the outside of the guide cylinder until the next game ball comes out, in particular, by making the discharge time longer than the inter-ball time, A plurality of game balls are not continuously guided near the winning opening at short intervals, so that a plurality of gaming balls come into contact with each other near the winning opening and a game ball in a state where it is easy to win the winning opening is another game. For example, it is possible to prevent the ball from being in a state where it is difficult to win a prize opening due to being blocked by the ball.

次に、ステージ１５と球誘導装置１６について詳しく説明する。
図２、図３に示すように、ステージ１５は、始動入賞口１０ａ，１０ｂの上側に設けられ、遊技球Ｂが転動すると共に遊技球Ｂを上始動入賞口１０ａへ案内する入賞案内部４０を有する。ステージ１５は、前面が遊技盤４の盤面（前面）と略同じ前後方向位置となるステージ前面部４１と、ステージ前面部４１の上端部から後方へ連なるステージ上面部４２と、ステージ上面部４２の後端部に形成されたステージ後端起立部４３とを有し、ステージ後端起立部４３が画像表示器１４の下端部に近接している。
Next, the stage 15 and the ball guidance device 16 will be described in detail.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the stage 15 is provided on the upper side of the start winning ports 10a and 10b, and the winning ball guide section 40 guides the gaming ball B to the upper starting winning port 10a while rolling. Have The stage 15 includes a stage front surface portion 41 whose front surface is substantially in the same longitudinal direction as the board surface (front surface) of the game board 4, a stage upper surface portion 42 that extends rearward from the upper end portion of the stage front surface portion 41, and the stage upper surface portion 42. The stage rear end standing part 43 is formed at the rear end part, and the stage rear end standing part 43 is close to the lower end part of the image display 14.
ステージ上面部４２には、最も後側に左右方向に細長い第１転動面４５が形成され、第１転動面４５の左右方向中央部分の前側に第２転動面４６と１対の山部４７とが形成され、第１転動面４５の前側及び第２転動面４６と１対の山部４７の前側に左右方向に細長い第３転動面４８が形成されている。 The stage upper surface portion 42 is formed with a first rolling surface 45 elongated in the left-right direction on the rearmost side, and a pair of peaks with the second rolling surface 46 on the front side of the central portion in the left-right direction of the first rolling surface 45. A portion 47 is formed, and a third rolling surface 48 elongated in the left-right direction is formed on the front side of the first rolling surface 45 and on the front side of the second rolling surface 46 and the pair of peak portions 47.
第１転動面４５は緩やかな山形に形成されるとともに、その左右両端部分は緩やかな谷形に形成されている。第２転動面４６は１対の山部４７の間の谷底となるように形成され、第３転動面４８は緩やかな谷形に形成されている。第１，第３転動面４５，４８の両端部同士は連続面となるように繋がっている。第１転動面４５を転動する遊技球Ｂは、第２転動面４６又は第３転動面４８へ移動可能であり、第２転動面４６を転動する遊技球Ｂは第３転動面４８へ移動する。第３転動面４８を転動する遊技球Ｂは、第２転動面４６と１対の山部４７の前側における左右方向位置から落下する。 The first rolling surface 45 is formed in a gentle mountain shape, and both left and right end portions thereof are formed in a gentle valley shape. The second rolling surface 46 is formed to be a valley bottom between the pair of peak portions 47, and the third rolling surface 48 is formed in a gentle valley shape. Both end portions of the first and third rolling surfaces 45 and 48 are connected to form a continuous surface. The game ball B rolling on the first rolling surface 45 is movable to the second rolling surface 46 or the third rolling surface 48, and the gaming ball B rolling on the second rolling surface 46 is the third. Move to the rolling surface 48. The game ball B rolling on the third rolling surface 48 falls from the position in the left-right direction on the front side of the second rolling surface 46 and the pair of mountain portions 47.
入賞案内部４０は、第１転動面４５の山頂部の後方位置においてステージ後端起立部４３に形成された案内入口４０ａと、この案内入口４０ａよりも前方且つ下方に位置してステージ前面部４１に形成された案内出口４０ｂと、案内入口４０ａと案内出口４０ｂとを繋ぐ案内通路４０ｃとを有する。遊技球Ｂが、第１転動面４５を左右方向へ転動し、特にその転動速度が遅いときに、第１転動面４５の山頂部から案内入口４０ａに入り易く、そうなると、案内通路４０ｃを通って案内出口４０ｂから排出される。 The winning guide section 40 includes a guide inlet 40a formed in the stage rear end upright section 43 at a position rearward of the top of the first rolling surface 45, and a front stage portion of the stage positioned in front of and below the guide inlet 40a. And a guide passage 40c connecting the guide inlet 40a and the guide outlet 40b. When the game ball B rolls the first rolling surface 45 in the left-right direction, particularly when the rolling speed is slow, the game ball B easily enters the guide entrance 40a from the top of the first rolling surface 45. It is discharged from the guide outlet 40b through 40c.
案内出口４０ｂの真下に上始動入賞口１０ａが上方開口状に配置され、故に、案内出口４０ｂから排出された遊技球Ｂは上始動入賞口１０ａに入賞する可能性が非常に高くなる。案内出口４０ｂから排出された遊技球Ｂが、上始動入賞口１０ａに入賞しない場合でも、開閉部材１０ｃが開放位置のときには、下始動入賞口１０ｂに入賞する可能性が高くなる。また、開閉部材１０ｃが開放位置のときには、第２転動面４６から第３転動面４８を介して落下した遊技球Ｂも下始動入賞口１０ｂに入賞する可能性が高くなる。 The upper start winning opening 10a is arranged in an upper opening just below the guide outlet 40b. Therefore, the possibility that the game ball B discharged from the guide outlet 40b wins the upper start winning opening 10a becomes very high. Even when the game ball B discharged from the guide outlet 40b does not win the upper start winning opening 10a, there is a high possibility that the opening and closing member 10c wins the lower start winning opening 10b when the open / close member 10c is in the open position. Further, when the opening / closing member 10c is in the open position, there is a high possibility that the game ball B that has dropped from the second rolling surface 46 through the third rolling surface 48 will win the lower start winning opening 10b.

ガイド筒体５０は、筒状の周壁５１と、周壁５１の上端を塞ぐ上壁５２と、周壁５１の下端を塞ぐ底壁５３とを有する。上壁５２に球入口５０ａが形成され、周壁５１の下端部に球出口５０ｂが形成されている。球出口５０ｂは、ステージ１５の中央部分（右方）に向くようにして、その下端が底壁５３の上面に連なるように形成されている。底壁５３の上面は、球出口５０ｂに向かって下方へ傾斜する傾斜面に形成されている。 The guide cylinder 50 includes a cylindrical peripheral wall 51, an upper wall 52 that closes the upper end of the peripheral wall 51, and a bottom wall 53 that closes the lower end of the peripheral wall 51. A spherical inlet 50 a is formed in the upper wall 52, and a spherical outlet 50 b is formed in the lower end portion of the peripheral wall 51. The ball outlet 50 b is formed such that its lower end is connected to the upper surface of the bottom wall 53 so as to face the central portion (right side) of the stage 15. The upper surface of the bottom wall 53 is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the ball outlet 50b.
ガイド筒体５０は、遊技者が視認可能な位置に配置され、ガイド筒体５０の少なくとも周壁５１が透明又は半透明で構成されている。つまり、ガイド筒体５０の内部の遊技球Ｂの動き（回転、落下）を遊技者が見ることができる。尚、上壁５２と底壁５３の一方と周壁５１とを一体成形し、周壁５１の内部に螺旋回転体６０を収容した後、上壁５２と底壁５３の他方を周壁５１に固着するようにしてもよい。 The guide cylinder 50 is disposed at a position where the player can visually recognize, and at least the peripheral wall 51 of the guide cylinder 50 is configured to be transparent or translucent. That is, the player can see the movement (rotation, dropping) of the game ball B inside the guide cylinder 50. It should be noted that one of the upper wall 52 and the bottom wall 53 and the peripheral wall 51 are integrally formed, and after the helical rotating body 60 is accommodated in the peripheral wall 51, the other of the upper wall 52 and the bottom wall 53 is fixed to the peripheral wall 51. It may be.
螺旋回転体６０は、軸部６１と、軸部６１に固着され軸部６１の外周外側（径方向外側）へ張出す連続した１つの螺旋部６２とを有し、この軸部６１と螺旋部６２は一体成形されている。螺旋部６２の上面は、外周外側へ向かって下方へ傾斜する傾斜面に形成されている。また、螺旋部６２の下面は、外周外側へ向かって上方へ傾斜する傾斜面に形成されている。螺旋部６２の外周外端と周壁５１との間には、そこから遊技球Ｂが落下しない適度な隙間６３が形成されている。 The spiral rotator 60 includes a shaft portion 61 and one continuous spiral portion 62 that is fixed to the shaft portion 61 and extends outward (outside in the radial direction) of the shaft portion 61. 62 is integrally molded. The upper surface of the spiral portion 62 is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the outer periphery. Moreover, the lower surface of the spiral part 62 is formed in the inclined surface which inclines upward toward the outer periphery outer side. A moderate gap 63 is formed between the outer peripheral outer end of the spiral portion 62 and the peripheral wall 51 from which the game ball B does not fall.
金属製の回転軸６５が軸部６１に挿通状に固着され、その上下両端部分が軸部６１から突出している。軸部６１の上端部は上壁５２に接近対向し、回転軸６５の上端部分が上壁５２に回転自在に係合支持されている。軸部６１の下端部は底壁５３に回転自在に内嵌支持され、回転軸６５の下端部分が、回転駆動機構７０のギヤ７５に貫通状に固着されるとともに、ガイド筒体５０の下側に配設されガイド筒体５０と固定関係にある駆動系ベース７６に回転自在に係合支持されている。 A metal rotation shaft 65 is fixed to the shaft portion 61 so as to be inserted therethrough, and upper and lower end portions thereof protrude from the shaft portion 61. The upper end portion of the shaft portion 61 is close to and opposed to the upper wall 52, and the upper end portion of the rotation shaft 65 is rotatably supported by the upper wall 52. The lower end portion of the shaft portion 61 is rotatably fitted and supported on the bottom wall 53, and the lower end portion of the rotation shaft 65 is fixed in a penetrating manner to the gear 75 of the rotation drive mechanism 70, and the lower side of the guide cylinder 50 And is rotatably supported by a drive system base 76 that is disposed in a fixed relationship with the guide cylinder 50.
回転駆動機構７０は、電動モータ７１と、電動モータ７１の駆動力を回転軸６５に伝達するギヤ機構７２とを有する。ギヤ機構７２は３個のギヤ７３〜７５を有し、これらギヤ７３〜７５は互いに噛合した状態で、駆動系ベース７６に回転自在に取付けられている。ギヤ７３，７５に夫々に電動モータ７１の出力軸７１ａと回転軸６５が固着されている。 The rotation drive mechanism 70 includes an electric motor 71 and a gear mechanism 72 that transmits the driving force of the electric motor 71 to the rotation shaft 65. The gear mechanism 72 has three gears 73 to 75, and these gears 73 to 75 are rotatably attached to the drive system base 76 while being engaged with each other. The output shaft 71a and the rotating shaft 65 of the electric motor 71 are fixed to the gears 73 and 75, respectively.
メイン制御装置２１は、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向を一定とするように、或いは、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向の一方を変化させるように、或いは、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向の両方を変化させるように、電動モータ７１を制御するように構成できる。但し、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向の少なくとも一方を変化させる場合には、螺旋回転体６０の動きに周期性を持たせることが好ましい。 The main control device 21 makes the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the spiral rotator 60 constant, changes one of the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the spiral rotator 60, or The electric motor 71 can be configured to control both the rotation speed and the rotation direction. However, when changing at least one of the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the spiral rotator 60, it is preferable that the movement of the spiral rotator 60 has periodicity.
以上説明した球誘導装置１６において、ガイド筒体５０、螺旋回転体６０により、球入口５０ａからガイド筒体５０の内部に入った遊技球Ｂは、螺旋部６２の上面と周壁５１の内周面に接触した状態で螺旋通路６０ａを回転しながら落下し、最終的に、球出口５０ｂからガイド筒体５０の外部に出てステージ１５（第１又は第３転動面４５又は４８）に誘導され、その際、回転駆動機構７０により、螺旋回転体６０（即ち螺旋通路６０ａ）も回転する独特な球誘導が行われ、更に、メイン制御装置２１により、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向の少なくとも一方を変化させることで、螺旋通路６０ａにおける遊技球Ｂの回転速度や落下速度が変化する。 In the ball guiding device 16 described above, the game ball B that has entered the guide cylinder 50 from the ball inlet 50 a by the guide cylinder 50 and the spiral rotating body 60 is the upper surface of the spiral portion 62 and the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 51. It falls while rotating through the spiral passage 60a in a state of contact with the lens, and finally exits the guide cylinder 50 from the ball outlet 50b and is guided to the stage 15 (first or third rolling surface 45 or 48). At that time, the rotation driving mechanism 70 performs a unique ball guidance for rotating the spiral rotator 60 (that is, the spiral passage 60a), and the main controller 21 controls the rotational speed and the rotational direction of the spiral rotator 60. By changing at least one of them, the rotation speed and the falling speed of the game ball B in the spiral passage 60a change.
さて、球誘導装置１６は、更に、図７、図８に示すように、球入口５０ａからガイド筒体５０の内部に先の遊技球Ｂ１（Ｂ）が入ってから次の遊技球Ｂ２（Ｂ）が入る迄の入球間時間ｔαに対して、球出口５０ｂからガイド筒体５０の外部に先の遊技球Ｂ１が出てから次の遊技球Ｂ２が出る迄の排出間時間ｔβを変更する排出タイミング変更機構８０（排出タイミング変更手段）を備えている。 As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the ball guidance device 16 further receives the next game ball B2 (B) after the previous game ball B1 (B) enters the guide cylinder 50 from the ball inlet 50a. ) Is changed from the ball exit 50b until the next game ball B2 comes out after the previous game ball B1 comes out of the guide cylinder 50 from the ball entry time tα until the ball enters the ball. A discharge timing changing mechanism 80 (discharge timing changing means) is provided.
この排出タイミング変更機構８０は、ガイド筒体５０（周壁５１）の内周面の高さ方向の一箇所に、遊技球Ｂと接触可能に設けられた合成樹脂製の障害突起部８１を有する。この障害突起部８１は、螺旋回転体６０が接触して回転不能とならないように、螺旋部６２の外周外端と周壁５１との間の隙間６３に配設されている。 The discharge timing changing mechanism 80 has a synthetic resin obstacle protrusion 81 provided at one location in the height direction of the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 50 (the peripheral wall 51) so as to be able to come into contact with the game ball B. The obstacle protrusion 81 is disposed in the gap 63 between the outer peripheral outer end of the spiral portion 62 and the peripheral wall 51 so that the spiral rotating body 60 does not rotate due to contact.
具体的に、障害突起部８１は、周壁５１の下部（例えば、螺旋部６２の下端から２〜３回転上方の高さ部分）に、周方向に適当角度（例えば、３０〜４０度）に亙って設けられ、螺旋部６２のピッチ程度の上下幅を有する。障害突起部８１は、回転する遊技球Ｂを受止める球受面８１ａを有し、断面略３角形に形成され、周壁５１の内周面にビスや接着剤（図示略）等で強固に固定されている。尚、周壁５１と障害突起部８１とを一体成形してもよい。この場合、周壁５１を軸心を通る鉛直面に対して２分割したものを夫々成形し、後で結合するものとして、その一方に障害突起部８１を一体成形することが可能である。 Specifically, the obstacle protrusion 81 is formed at an appropriate angle (for example, 30 to 40 degrees) in the circumferential direction at the lower portion of the peripheral wall 51 (for example, a height portion two to three times above the lower end of the spiral portion 62). And has a vertical width about the pitch of the spiral portion 62. The obstacle projection 81 has a ball receiving surface 81a for receiving the rotating game ball B, is formed in a substantially triangular cross section, and is firmly fixed to the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 51 with a screw or an adhesive (not shown). Has been. The peripheral wall 51 and the obstacle projection 81 may be integrally formed. In this case, the peripheral wall 51 can be divided into two parts with respect to the vertical plane passing through the axial center, and the obstacle projections 81 can be integrally formed on one of the parts to be joined later.
ここで、遊技球Ｂが螺旋通路６０ａに滞在する螺旋通路滞在時間について考える。そこで、障害突起部８１を設けなくても、先の遊技球Ｂ１が螺旋通路６０ａに滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的な動き（回転速度、回転方向）と次の遊技球Ｂ２が螺旋通路６０ａに滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的動きとが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるように、メイン制御装置２１が、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向の少なくとも一方を変化させるように、電動モータ７１を制御するように構成する。そうすれば、先の遊技球Ｂ１の螺旋通路滞在時間と次の遊技球Ｂ２の螺旋通路滞在時間とが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるため、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させることが期待できる。この場合、メイン制御装置２１が排出タイミング変更機構８０を構成する。 Here, consider the spiral passage stay time in which the game ball B stays in the spiral passage 60a. Therefore, even if the obstacle protrusion 81 is not provided, the overall movement (rotation speed, rotation direction) of the spiral rotating body 60 while the previous game ball B1 stays in the spiral passage 60a and the next game ball B2 are the spiral passage. The main control device 21 changes at least one of the rotational speed and the rotational direction of the spiral rotator 60 so that the overall movement of the spiral rotator 60 staying at 60a is often different or different. The electric motor 71 is configured to be controlled. If so, the time spent in the spiral path of the previous game ball B1 and the time spent in the spiral path of the next game ball B2 are often different or different, so the time between discharges tβ is changed with respect to the time between entrances tα. You can expect In this case, the main control device 21 constitutes the discharge timing changing mechanism 80.
しかし、障害突起部８１を設けた場合には、より確実に、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させ、この場合、入球間時間ｔαよりも排出間時間ｔβを長くするように変更させるように構成することができる。 However, when the obstacle protrusion 81 is provided, the discharge time tβ is more reliably changed with respect to the inter-ball time tα, and in this case, the discharge time tβ is made longer than the inter-ball time tα. It can be configured to be changed as follows.
詳述すると、遊技球Ｂが螺旋通路６０ａを回転しながら落下する途中で、１回は障害突起部８１に接触して受止められ、また、そうなるように、障害突起部８１等を構成する。障害突起部８１に受止められた遊技球Ｂは回転を停止するが、螺旋部６２の上面は外周外側へ向かって下方へ傾斜する傾斜面に形成されているため、遊技球Ｂは周壁５１の内周面に接触して、障害突起部８１で確実に受け止められた状態になる。この状態で、螺旋回転体６０が回転すると、その回転方向に応じて、遊技球Ｂが障害突起部８１にガイドされ上昇又は下降する。つまり、螺旋回転体６０が遊技球Ｂの落下側の回転方向と逆方向（以下、下降対応方向という）へ回転すると、遊技球Ｂが下降し障害突起部８１から下側へ外れて、再度、螺旋通路６０ａを回転しながら落下する。 More specifically, while the game ball B is falling while rotating through the spiral passage 60a, the game ball B is contacted and received once by the obstacle protrusion 81, and the obstacle protrusion 81 and the like are configured to be so. . The game ball B received by the obstacle projection 81 stops rotating, but the upper surface of the spiral portion 62 is formed as an inclined surface that is inclined downward toward the outer periphery, so that the game ball B is formed on the peripheral wall 51. It comes into contact with the inner peripheral surface and is reliably received by the obstacle projection 81. When the spiral rotator 60 rotates in this state, the game ball B is guided by the obstacle projection 81 and raised or lowered according to the direction of rotation. That is, when the spiral rotating body 60 rotates in the direction opposite to the rotation direction on the falling side of the game ball B (hereinafter referred to as the descent-corresponding direction), the game ball B descends and comes off from the obstacle projection 81 and again, The spiral passage 60a falls while rotating.
以上の動作を利用して、螺旋回転体６０の回転方向について、その大半を、螺旋回転体６０が遊技球Ｂの落下側の回転方向と同方向（以下、上昇対応方向という）へ回転するようにしておく。即ち、遊技球Ｂが障害突起部８１で受け止められた状態で、螺旋回転体６０が上昇対応方向へ回転すると、遊技球Ｂが上昇し障害突起部８１から上側へ外れるが、約１回転すると、再度、障害突起部８１で受け止められ、また、そうなるように、障害突起部８１等を構成する。 Using the above operation, most of the rotation direction of the spiral rotator 60 is rotated in the same direction as the rotation direction of the game ball B on the falling side (hereinafter referred to as the ascending correspondence direction). Keep it. That is, in a state where the game ball B is received by the obstacle projection 81, when the spiral rotating body 60 rotates in the ascending correspondence direction, the game ball B rises and disengages from the obstacle projection 81. The obstacle projection 81 is configured to be received again by the obstacle projection 81 and to be so.
そして、螺旋回転体６０が上昇対応方向へ回転した後に下降対応方向へ回転して、遊技球Ｂが下降し障害突起部８１から下側へ外れるようにし、ここで、先の遊技球Ｂ１に次の遊技球Ｂ２が接触している状態を想定し、先の遊技球Ｂ１のみが障害突起部８１から下側へ外れ、次の遊技球Ｂ２が障害突起部８１に接触するように、螺旋回転体６０が下降対応方向へ回転した後に直ちに上昇対応方向へ回転する。こうした螺旋回転体６０の動きとなるように、この場合、好ましくは、周期性のある動きとなるように、メイン制御装置２１が電動モータ７１を制御する。 Then, the spiral rotating body 60 rotates in the upward corresponding direction and then rotates in the downward corresponding direction so that the game ball B descends and comes off from the obstacle projection 81, where the next game ball B1 is next to the previous game ball B1. Assuming a state in which the game ball B2 is in contact, only the previous game ball B1 is detached downward from the obstacle projection 81, and the next game ball B2 is in contact with the obstacle projection 81. Immediately after 60 rotates in the corresponding direction, it rotates in the corresponding upward direction. In this case, the main control device 21 controls the electric motor 71 so that the movement of the spiral rotator 60 is preferably periodic.
つまり、先の遊技球Ｂ１が障害突起部８１から下側へ外れる時から、次の遊技球Ｂ２が障害突起部８１から下側へ外れる時迄の時間を、少なくとも螺旋回転体６０が上昇対応方向へ回転している間の時間以上とすることができ、故に、特に、先の遊技球Ｂ１と次の遊技球Ｂ２が短時間間隔で球入口５０ａからガイド筒体５０の内部に入った場合に、入球間時間ｔαよりも排出間時間ｔβを長くするように変更させることができる。この場合、メイン制御装置２１と障害突起部８１が排出タイミング変更機構８０を構成する。 That is, at least a time period from when the previous game ball B1 is released downward from the obstacle projection 81 to when the next game ball B2 is released downward from the obstacle projection 81 is at least the direction in which the spiral rotating body 60 rises. More than the time during the rotation, and therefore, particularly when the previous game ball B1 and the next game ball B2 enter the inside of the guide cylinder 50 from the ball entrance 50a at short intervals. The time between discharges tβ can be changed to be longer than the time between entrances tα. In this case, the main control device 21 and the obstacle projection 81 constitute a discharge timing changing mechanism 80.
以上説明した球誘導装置１６によれば次の効果を奏する。
ガイド筒体５０と螺旋回転体６０と回転駆動機構７０とを備えたので、遊技球Ｂが回転しながら落下し、その際、螺旋回転体６０（即ち螺旋通路６０ａ）も回転する独特な球誘導を行って、遊技者の興趣を高めることができる一方、排出タイミング変更機構８０を備えたので、球入口５０ａからガイド筒体５０の内部に先の遊技球Ｂ１が入ってから次の遊技球Ｂ２が入る迄の入球間時間ｔαに対して、球出口５０ｂからガイド筒体５０の外部に先の遊技球Ｂ１が出てから次の遊技球Ｂ２が出る迄の排出間時間ｔβを変更することができる。
The ball guiding device 16 described above has the following effects.
Since the guide cylinder 50, the spiral rotator 60, and the rotation driving mechanism 70 are provided, the game ball B falls while rotating, and at this time, the unique sphere guide in which the spiral rotator 60 (that is, the spiral passage 60a) also rotates. Since the player's interest can be enhanced by providing the discharge timing changing mechanism 80, the next game ball B2 after the previous game ball B1 enters the guide cylinder 50 from the ball entrance 50a. The interval between discharges tβ until the next game ball B2 comes out after the previous game ball B1 comes out of the guide cylinder 50 from the ball outlet 50b is changed with respect to the time tα between the balls until the ball enters. Can do.
ここで、ステージ１５へ遊技球Ｂを導くワープ通路５５の一部に、ガイド筒体５０の内部の螺旋通路６０ａが設けられている。そして、遊技球Ｂが球誘導装置１６によりステージ１５の特に第１転動面４５に誘導された場合、その遊技球Ｂが単独の場合には、第１転動面４５を転動し、場合によって数回Ｕターンするように第１転動面４５を転動して、ステージ１５の入賞案内部４０に案内入口４０ａから入り易い動きとなることが多い。 Here, a spiral passage 60 a inside the guide cylinder 50 is provided in a part of the warp passage 55 that guides the game ball B to the stage 15. When the game ball B is guided to the first rolling surface 45 of the stage 15 by the ball guiding device 16, when the gaming ball B is alone, the first rolling surface 45 rolls. In many cases, the first rolling surface 45 rolls so as to make a U-turn several times to easily enter the winning guide portion 40 of the stage 15 from the guide entrance 40a.
しかし、複数の遊技球Ｂがステージ１５に短時間間隔で連続的に誘導されると、ステージ１５上で互いに接触して、入賞案内部４０に入り易い動きの遊技球Ｂが他の遊技球Ｂに阻害されて入賞案内部４０に入りにくい動きとなり、遊技球Ｂが入賞案内部４０に入る可能性、つまり遊技球Ｂが始動入賞口１１ａに入賞する可能性が低くなることがある。 However, when a plurality of game balls B are continuously guided to the stage 15 at short time intervals, the game balls B that are in contact with each other on the stage 15 and easily enter the winning guide section 40 are moved to other game balls B. The game ball B may be difficult to enter the winning guide section 40, and the possibility that the game ball B enters the winning guide section 40, that is, the possibility that the game ball B wins the start winning opening 11a may be reduced.
そこで、排出タイミング変更機構８０により、入球間時間ｔαよりも排出間時間ｔβを長くするように変更することができるので、複数の遊技球Ｂがステージ１５に短時間間隔で連続的に誘導されないようにして、複数の遊技球Ｂがステージ１５上で互いに接触して、入賞案内部４０に入り易い動きの遊技球Ｂが他の遊技球Ｂに阻害されて入賞案内部４０に入りにくい動きとなることを抑制することができる。 Therefore, the discharge timing changing mechanism 80 can change the discharge time tβ to be longer than the inter-ball time tα, so that the plurality of game balls B are not continuously guided to the stage 15 at short intervals. In this way, the plurality of game balls B come into contact with each other on the stage 15 and the movement of the game ball B that is likely to enter the winning guide part 40 is blocked by other game balls B and is difficult to enter the winning guide part 40. It can be suppressed.
また、メイン制御装置２１は、螺旋回転体６０の回転速度と回転方向の少なくとも一方を変化させるように制御することで、螺旋通路６０ａにおける遊技球Ｂの回転速度や落下速度を変化させ、遊技球Ｂの動きに変化を持たせることができる。特に、この実施例１の具体例では、螺旋通路６０ａの回転方向へ変化させることで、入球間時間ｔαよりも排出間時間ｔβを長くするように確実に変更することができる。 In addition, the main control device 21 controls to change at least one of the rotation speed and the rotation direction of the spiral rotating body 60, thereby changing the rotation speed and the falling speed of the game ball B in the spiral passage 60a. The movement of B can be changed. In particular, in the specific example of the first embodiment, by changing in the rotational direction of the spiral passage 60a, the discharge time tβ can be reliably changed to be longer than the inter-ballistic time tα.
ここで、実施例１の変形例として、ガイド筒体５０（周壁５１）の内周面の高さ方向の複数箇所に、遊技球Ｂと接触可能に設けられた合成樹脂製の複数の障害突起部８１を設けてもよい。これにより、入球間時間ｔαよりも排出間時間ｔβを長くするように一層確実に変更することが期待できる。 Here, as a modified example of the first embodiment, a plurality of obstacle projections made of synthetic resin provided in contact with the game ball B at a plurality of positions in the height direction of the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 50 (the peripheral wall 51). The part 81 may be provided. As a result, it can be expected that the time between discharges tβ is made longer than the time between calls tα to make the change more reliably.
実施例２の球誘導装置１６Ａは、実施例１の球誘導装置１６において、排出タイミング変更機構８０を変更したものであり、排出タイミング変更機構８０以外の構成は同様である。故に、実施例１と基本的に同じものには同一符号を付して説明を省略する。 The ball guiding device 16A of the second embodiment is obtained by changing the discharge timing changing mechanism 80 in the ball guiding device 16 of the first embodiment, and the configuration other than the discharge timing changing mechanism 80 is the same. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
図９に示すように、この球誘導装置１６Ａの排出タイミング変更機構８０Ａは、ガイド筒体５０の内周面の高さ方向一部分に設けられ、ガイド筒体５０の内周面の他の部分よりも摩擦係数が大きい高摩擦部８２と、螺旋回転体６０の螺旋部６２の上面の高さ方向一部分に設けられ、螺旋部６２の他の部分よりも摩擦係数が大きい高摩擦部８３とを有する。 As shown in FIG. 9, the discharge timing mechanism 80A of the sphere guide device 16A is provided in the height direction a portion of the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 50, than the other portions of the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 50 A high friction part 82 having a large friction coefficient, and a high friction part 83 provided at a part in the height direction of the upper surface of the helical part 62 of the helical rotating body 60 and having a larger friction coefficient than the other parts of the helical part 62. .
具体的に、高摩擦部８２は、ガイド筒体５０の下部の内周面にシリコン塗膜を形成して構成され、高摩擦部８３は、螺旋部６２の下部の上面にシリコン塗膜を形成して構成されている。遊技球Ｂは、螺旋通路６０ａの上部において高摩擦部８２，８３のないガイド筒体６０の内周面と螺旋部６２の上面に接触して回転しながら落下するが、螺旋通路６０ａの下部において高摩擦部８２，８３に接触して回転しながら落下する。 Specifically, the high friction portion 82 is configured by forming a silicon coating film on the inner peripheral surface of the lower portion of the guide cylinder 50 , and the high friction portion 83 forms a silicon coating film on the upper surface of the lower portion of the spiral portion 62. Configured. The game ball B falls while rotating in contact with the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 60 without the high friction portions 82 and 83 and the upper surface of the spiral portion 62 at the upper portion of the spiral passage 60a, but at the lower portion of the spiral passage 60a. It falls while rotating in contact with the high friction portions 82 and 83.
つまり、螺旋通路６０ａの上部よりも下部の方が、遊技球Ｂの転がりが悪くなり、遊技球Ｂの速度変化が制動側へ移行する故、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させることが期待できる。ここで、実施例１において、先の遊技球Ｂ１が螺旋通路６０ａに滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的な動き（回転速度、回転方向）と次の遊技球Ｂ２が螺旋通路６０ａに滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的動きとが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるようにすれば、先の遊技球Ｂ１の螺旋通路滞在時間と次の遊技球Ｂ２の螺旋通路滞在時間とが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるため、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させることが期待できることは述べた。 That is, in the lower part than the upper part of the spiral passage 60a, the rolling of the game ball B becomes worse, and the speed change of the game ball B shifts to the braking side. It can be expected to change. Here, in Example 1, the overall movement (rotation speed, rotation direction) of the spiral rotating body 60 while the previous game ball B1 stays in the spiral passage 60a and the next game ball B2 stays in the spiral passage 60a. If the overall movement of the spiral rotator 60 is different or different, the time spent in the spiral path of the previous game ball B1 and the time spent in the spiral path of the next game ball B2 are different or different. Therefore, it can be expected that the time between discharges tβ can be changed with respect to the time between entrances tα.
この実施例２においては、更に、先の遊技球Ｂ１が螺旋通路６０ａの上部に滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的な動き（回転速度、回転方向）と次の遊技球Ｂ２が螺旋通路６０ａの上部に滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的動きとが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるように、また、先の遊技球Ｂ１が螺旋通路６０ａの下部に滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的な動き（回転速度、回転方向）と次の遊技球Ｂ２が螺旋通路６０ａの下部に滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的動きとが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるようにすれば、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させることができる。 In the second embodiment, the overall movement (rotation speed and rotation direction) of the spiral rotating body 60 while the previous game ball B1 stays on the upper part of the spiral passage 60a and the next game ball B2 are further connected to the spiral passage 60a. So that the overall movement of the spiral rotator 60 staying at the upper part of the spiral rotator 60 is different or different from the overall movement of the spiral rotator 60 while the previous game ball B1 stays at the lower part of the spiral passage 60a. If the movement (rotation speed, rotation direction) of the next game ball B2 stays in the lower part of the spiral passage 60a and the overall movement of the spiral rotation body 60 is different or different, it is often The discharge time tβ can be changed with respect to the time tα.
実施例３の球誘導装置１６Ｂは、実施例１の球誘導装置１６において、排出タイミング変更機構８０を変更したものであり、排出タイミング変更機構８０以外の構成は同様である。故に、実施例１と基本的に同じものには同一符号を付して説明を省略する。 The ball guiding device 16B of the third embodiment is obtained by changing the discharge timing changing mechanism 80 in the ball guiding device 16 of the first embodiment, and the configuration other than the discharge timing changing mechanism 80 is the same. Therefore, the same reference numerals are given to the same components as those in the first embodiment, and the description thereof is omitted.
図１０に示すように、この球誘導装置１６Ｂの排出タイミング変更機構８０Ｂは、ガイド筒体５０の内周面の高さ方向略全体に亙って螺旋状に設けられ、ガイド筒体５０の内周面の他の部分よりも摩擦係数が大きい高摩擦部８４を有する。 As shown in FIG. 10, the discharge timing mechanism 80B of this sphere induction device 16B is provided in a spiral shape over the height direction substantially entire inner circumferential surface of the guide cylinder 50, of the guide cylinder 50 It has the high friction part 84 with a larger friction coefficient than the other part of a surrounding surface.
具体的に、高摩擦部８４は、螺旋通路６０ａの外周外端と並行するように、ガイド筒体５０の内周面にシリコン塗膜を形成して構成されている。螺旋回転体６０を回転させて、螺旋通路６０ａの遊技球Ｂが高摩擦部８４に接触する接触位置と接触しない非接触位置とに択一的に切換えることができる。例えば、螺旋回転体６０が接触位置に保持された状態で、遊技球Ｂが螺旋通路６０ａの全部を回転しながら落下すると、その際、遊技球Ｂは高摩擦部８４の全部に接触することになる。
Specifically, the high friction portion 84 is configured by forming a silicon coating film on the inner peripheral surface of the guide cylinder 50 so as to be parallel to the outer peripheral end of the spiral passage 60a. The spiral rotating body 60 can be rotated to selectively switch between a contact position where the game ball B of the spiral passage 60a contacts the high friction portion 84 and a non-contact position where the game ball B does not contact. For example, when the game ball B falls while rotating the entire spiral passage 60a in a state where the spiral rotating body 60 is held at the contact position, the game ball B contacts the entire high friction portion 84 at that time. Become.
つまり、螺旋回転体６０が非接触位置よりも接触位置の方が、遊技球Ｂの転がりが悪くなり、遊技球Ｂの速度変化が制動側へ移行する故、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させることが期待できる。ここで、螺旋回転体６０を回転させることで、螺旋回転体６０が非接触位置と接触位置とに択一的に切換えて、先の遊技球Ｂ１が螺旋通路６０ａに滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的な動き（回転速度、回転方向）と次の遊技球Ｂ２が螺旋通路６０ａに滞在中の螺旋回転体６０の全体的動きとが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるようにすることができ、先の遊技球Ｂ１の螺旋通路滞在時間と次の遊技球Ｂ２の螺旋通路滞在時間とが異なる或いは異なることが多くなるため、入球間時間ｔαに対して排出間時間ｔβを変更させることができる。 That is, when the spiral rotating body 60 is in the contact position rather than the non-contact position, the rolling of the game ball B becomes worse, and the speed change of the game ball B shifts to the braking side. It can be expected to change the interval time tβ. Here, by rotating the spiral rotator 60, the spiral rotator 60 is selectively switched between the non-contact position and the contact position, and the previous game ball B1 stays in the spiral passage 60a. The overall movement (rotation speed, rotation direction) and the next movement of the spiral ball 60 when the next game ball B2 stays in the spiral passage 60a can be different or different. Since the time spent in the spiral path of the previous game ball B1 and the time spent in the spiral path of the next game ball B2 are often different or different, the time between discharges tβ can be changed with respect to the time between entrances tα. .
その他、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲において、前記開示事項以外の種々の変更を付加して実施可能である。また、本発明は、遊技球Ｂを誘導する種々の球誘導装置、例えば、遊技球Ｂをステージ１５にではなく、種々の入賞口の近くに誘導するものや、入賞口の近く以外に誘導する球誘導装置にも適用できるものである。 In addition, various modifications other than the disclosed items can be added and implemented without departing from the spirit of the present invention. The present invention also provides various ball guidance devices for guiding the game ball B, for example, guiding the game ball B not to the stage 15 but to various winning holes, or to other than the vicinity of the winning hole. The present invention can also be applied to a ball guidance device.
