Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] (Field of Industrial Application) The present invention relates to a prize winning game machine that uses a rolling element such as a coin.

(Prior Art and its Problems) Conventionally, this type of game machine has been used to insert coins from the outside between a slider that moves back and forth in a fixed width from side to side on a base inside the case, and coins deposited in advance on the base. The coin slot is formed with a coin slot into which coins are inserted, and coins are inserted from the slot onto the above-mentioned table surface, and the deposited coins are dropped using the pressing force of the slider. .

Therefore, conventional game machines of this type had the disadvantage of being simple and lacking in fun, since the mechanism was simply to insert coins onto the stand inside the case.

(Purpose of the invention) Therefore, the purpose of the present invention is to have a prize opening into which a rolling element is placed, rotate the prize opening, and form it wide and narrow to set a difficulty level for winning a prize, and to set a difficulty level for winning a prize according to the difficulty level. To provide a prize winning game machine that is more interesting than conventional game machines of this type by returning prizes that have been collected.

(Structure of the invention) In order to achieve the above purpose, this invention adopts the following structure.

That is, in the present invention, a rolling element insertion part is formed in the upper part of the casing, and a rotary blade part having a plurality of radial blade rods is disposed inside the casing so as to be freely rotatable by an electric motor. At the same time, a prize return means is provided for returning the prize to the prize takeout port, and a prize opening is provided at the open end of the wing rod to receive the rolling element that is thrown into the inner space of the casing from the loading section. Each wing rod is formed with a different size, and the prize return means is configured to adjust the winning slot according to the difficulty level of the prize opening using a detector that detects the winning state of the rotor and a detection signal from the detector. and an operation control section that returns the prize to the prize outlet.

(Embodiment) Hereinafter, the configuration of the present invention will be explained according to a preferred embodiment shown in the attached drawings.

Reference numeral 1 denotes a rolling element insertion portion formed in the upper part 2a of the housing 2. The input portion 1 is formed into a rod shape, for example, and has a guide groove 1a for guiding a coin, for example, as a rolling element. In this embodiment, the input portion 1 formed as described above is disposed with its inner end 1c inclined downward inside the housing 2.

Further, inside the housing 2, a rotary blade section 3 having a plurality of blade rods 3a radially arranged is rotatably moved by an electric motor 4. In this embodiment, the blade rod 3a is formed with a groove-shaped guide path 3b extending in the longitudinal direction for guiding a rolling element such as a coin. The wing rods 3a formed in this way are arranged radially at the upper end of the cylindrical support 3c, with the groove-shaped guide path 3b and the inside of the support 3c communicating with each other. .

3b is a gear fixed to the lower part of the support 3c so as to be concentric with the support 3c. A rotational force transmitting gear 4b provided on the rotating shaft 4a of the electric motor 4 is meshed with the gear 3d, whereby the rotary blade portion 3
The present invention is configured such that it is rotated.

Further, a prize opening _3e for winning a rolling element such as a coin, which is input from the input section 1 into the internal space of the casing 2, is provided at the open end 3a1 of the blade rod 3a.
Each is formed with a different size.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a prize return means provided inside the casing 2, which returns the prize 7 to the prize outlet 6. The prize return means 5 includes a detector 5a that detects the winning state of the rotor, and a detection signal from the detector 5a to send prizes 7 to the prize outlet 6 according to the difficulty level of the winning opening. It is formed by an operation control section 5b that causes the reduction to occur. In this embodiment, the detectors 5a are formed of piezoelectric sensors disposed at predetermined positions of the groove-shaped guide path 3b.

The operation control section 5b includes a plurality of amplifiers _5b1 formed to amplify respective output signals from the detector 5a, and a plurality of electromagnetic valves operated by the output signals of the amplifiers _5b1 . 5b ₂ and a plurality of air cylinders 5b ₃ controlled and operated by the electromagnetic valve 5b ₂ . In this case, since a plurality of air cylinders _5b3 are provided according to the number of detectors, the cylinders _5b3
The above-mentioned prize storage cylinders 8 for storing prizes corresponding to the difficulty level of the prize opening 3e are arranged correspondingly.

In addition, 9 is a partition plate that partitions the inside of the housing 2 into upper and lower parts,
Reference numeral 10 designates a support portion formed at the center of the partition plate 9 to support the rotating support column 3c, 11 a bearing, 12 a base, and 13 a coin collection case.

Next, the effect of this proposal will be explained.

First, a player inserts, for example, a coin into the internal space of the housing 2 from the input portion 1 of the rolling element along the guide groove 1a. When the inserted coin enters the winning slot 3e formed at the open end _3a1 of the wing rod 3a, the coin passes through the groove-shaped guide path 3b and then falls inside the support 3c and enters the coin collection case 12. will be collected. In this case, the detector 5a formed in the groove-shaped guide path 3b is activated by the pressure when the coin passes.
Operated ON. This signal is amplified by the amplifier 5b ₁ and then sent to the solenoid valve 5b ₂ . Solenoid valve 5b ₂
receives this signal and controls the direction of the compressed air so as to cause the piston rod of the air shin lid _5b3 to protrude. When the piston rod of the air cylinder _5b3 is projected, the lowest prize 7a among the prizes 7 stacked on the prize storage cylinder 8 is pushed out to the prize outlet 6 and returned to the prize as shown in FIG. It is something that

In this embodiment, among the coins inserted from the input section 1, the coins that are not won into the winning slot 3e fall onto the partition plate 9 and are deposited.

In the above, the input portion 1 may be formed, for example, by a through hole formed in the upper surface of the casing 2, as shown in FIG.

Further, the above-mentioned winning opening 3e is formed, for example, in an annular frame as shown in the figure, and is configured to detect passage of coins with detectors 5a such as magnetic sensors arranged at appropriate locations on the frame. It's okay if you are.
Therefore, in the present invention, the groove-shaped guide path 3b does not need to be formed in the blade rod 3a, and the detector 5a
The arrangement location is not limited to the groove-shaped guide path 3b.

Further, in the present invention, the operation control section 5b may also be formed of, for example, a solenoid or a hopper, and is not limited to this embodiment.

(Effect of the invention) The present invention has a prize opening in which a rolling element is placed, and the prize opening is rotated and formed wide and narrow to set a difficulty level for winning a prize, and to set a difficulty level for winning a prize according to the difficulty level. It is configured to give back prizes. Therefore, if the present invention is used, it is possible to provide a prize winning game machine that is more interesting than conventional game machines of this type, which is a superior practical effect.
