PURPOSE:To control pinball balls in a single unit by connecting a comparing device to a control device of pinball balls, providing the control member of the control device on the upstream of a sensor, and setting the distance between the control member and the detection center of the sensor larger than the radius of a pinball ball and smaller than its diameter. CONSTITUTION:Balls are dropped through the passage 1 of pinball balls and detected by a sensor 2 and counted by a counter 3 and outputted to a comparing device 5 and compared with the numerical value from a setting device 4, if both of them are equal, a control device is operated. In this case, the control member 7 of a control device 6 is provided on the upstream of the sensor 2 at the position with the distance 9 longer than the radius of a ball and shorter than the diameter from the detection center 8 of the sensor 2, when the control member 7 is excited and inserted into the passage 1, its tip 10 presses a sphere 13 on the back from the center 12 of a ball 11 at an angle alpha. The control member 7 applies downward pushing force to the ball 11 and interrupts other balls 11 being dropped.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Field of Industrial Application This invention relates to an individual control device for pachinko balls used in pachinko machines, ball lending machines, and the like.

BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, one example of a control device for pachinko balls is one installed in a pachinko machine.

Since this device is already well known, illustrations and detailed explanation will be omitted, but as an example, it is formed to be able to supply 400 pachinko balls as one unit, and is installed above the ball tank of the pachinko machine. It is being

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, the conventional devices have the following problems. In the case of operating a pachinko machine, due to the difference between the profit ball and the loss method, if the loss method reaches a certain number of pairs, the monthly f
When the ball tank was emptied, it was difficult to stop the ball when the ball tank was set at a certain point. Also, the prize ball device inside the pachinko machine is formed with a discharge valve 5 for ejecting a certain number of pachinko balls, but it is preferable that the number of balls be changed to 0 within one hit. It is conceivable that the customer's interest can be further increased if this is formed.It is also preferable that the ball rental machine etc. be capable of changing the number of balls rented according to fluctuations in the object @Ii.

This invention was made in order to solve such problems, and the first objective is to provide a control device for pachinko balls that can control pachinko balls in one step.

Means for Solving the Problems The device of the present invention that achieves the above object is described as follows: 1. A sensor 2 for detecting pachinko balls provided in the downward pachinko ball path. a counter 3 connected to the sense 2; a comparison device 5 connected to the numerical value setting device 4 connected to the counter 3; A control device 6 for controlling traffic; higher than the sensor 2;
The control unit 60 is provided in the passageway 1 so as to be able to freely enter and exit the passage 1, and the vertical distance 9 from the detection center 8 of the sensor 2 is selected to be longer than the radius and shorter than the diameter of the pachinko ball. This is an individual control device for pachinko balls, characterized in that the control member 7 also includes the control member 7.

When a ball passes through the pachinko ball path 1 while falling, the ball is detected by a sensor 2 and counted by a counter 3 connected thereto. L- and its value is output to the comparator 5, where it is compared with the numerical value provided in advance from the setting device 4, and when the two are the same, the comparator 5 outputs the above value. An output is made to the control device 6, and the device 6 is operated. In that case, the control device 60 control member 7 is provided above the sensor 2 and at a distance 9 from the detection center 8 of the sensor 2, which is longer than the radius of the ball (and shorter than the diameter), so that the control device 60 can be controlled. Part 7
When the ball is energized and inserted into the passage 1, its tip]0 makes an angle α to the spherical surface 13 behind the center of the same ball 1↑2, as shown in Figure 6. Hold it and press it. Therefore, the ball 1 has one side 14 in contact with the inner surface 15 of the passage 1, and the other side, the spherical surface j3, comes into pressure contact with the tip 10 at an angle α, and in this case, the angle α is always Because of the acute angle, and because the control member 7 is still biased inside the passage 1, the control member 7
It acts almost like a wedge on ball 11, and gives a force to push ball 11 downward. Moreover, in that case, since the upper IJ is falling and is receiving downward acceleration of gravity, the above-mentioned almost wedge-like action of the control member 7 acts smoothly, and the control member 7 With the insertion of the ball 11, the ball 11 corresponding to the set number is pushed down and advanced above the ball 11, and other balls 11 which are above the ball 11 and are falling are blocked.

In this way, the pachinko balls can be controlled reliably.

Embodiment In FIGS. 1 to 116, reference numeral 1 indicates a path for pachinko balls, which is provided in the vertical direction, and a sensor 2 is provided in this path. As an example, the sensor 2 includes a light emitting device and a light receiving device, but it may also be a Hall element, a coil wound around a magnet piece, or any other suitable device. As an example, a 3 m long rl] 14a of the sensor 2 was used. And the detection center 8
It is thought to be approximately in the center of the above, 15 feet from the top.

This detection center refers to the part where the sensor substantially operates or is considered to be able to operate.

By using a light-emitting device and a light-receiving device as the sensor 2, the distance 9 can be determined clearly and easily, and it is not affected by external influences such as magnetism.

Note that 3 is a counter, 4 is a numerical value setting device, 5 is a comparison device, 17 is a conductor, and 6 is a control device using, for example, a solenoid. Reference numeral 7 designates a control member, which is formed, for example, by a core reciprocated in a solenoid. As shown in FIG.
The balls are formed at intervals 9, and this interval 9 is selected to be longer than the radius and shorter than the diameter of the pachinko ball (as an example, the diameter of the pachinko ball is 7), and the diameter of the pachinko ball is It's 11 off. Reference numerals 20 and 21 indicate openings, and the slope 9 serves to make the nearly wedge-like action of the control portion 7 work more smoothly and favorably.

Next, 22 is a space forming part, which is formed by an inclined passage, and as shown in Figure 4, the angle θ is 70 as an example.
Formed at the same time. This angle θ is formed with an rlj of approximately 5 degrees in the front and back.

In addition, the space forming portion 22 and the like are formed to have a square cross section Jt, and the inner side of the path J is 12 mm x 12 mm, and the space forming portion 22 has a width of 12 mm and a height of 11 mm. ．．
It was formed to 3mm.

In this way, by forming the height to 11, it is possible to suppress the so-called dancing of pachinko balls, reduce the passing speed in this part, and start from the end of the interval forming part 22 as seen in Figure 4. This helps to reliably form the ball spacing 23 when the balls fall.In other words, it is easier to control if the ball spacing λ3 is formed in this way. Although this is a case where the control is performed by dropping the paper, this invention may be formed in a path that is inclined to the ground surface 24 as shown in Figure 51, and this invention also includes such a case.Please note that the above-mentioned control The thickness of the member 7 is, for example, 3 mm.

Effects of Invention 1 This invention has a groove formed as described above, a sensor is provided in the vertical path of the pachinko balls, the sensor is connected to a counter, and the counter is connected to a comparison device that is connected to a numerical value setting device. and the ratio softness device δ is connected to a control device for pachinko balls, and a control member of the control device is provided above the sensor,
By forming the distance between the control member and the detection center of the sensor to be larger than the radius (and smaller than the diameter) of the pachinko balls, the spherical surface behind the number of balls that matches the value set by the setting device, The control unit pushes the ball downward with an almost wedge-like action, and enters between the hit ball and the falling ball above it, blocking the space between the artist.
Wander. In this way, pachinko balls can be controlled easily. Further, if the tip of the control member is provided with a slope that becomes higher toward the tip, the wedge-like action of the control member on the pachinko balls can be made smoother and better. Furthermore, when the sensor is formed by a light emitting device and a light receiving device, the above-mentioned interval can be clearly determined, and it is not affected by external influences such as magnetism.
