[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a device for managing a plurality of pachinko game machines, and particularly to a management device for pachinko game machines for obtaining data necessary for nail adjustment of the pachinko game machines. The purpose of this is to develop a pachinko game machine that can quantitatively detect the fluctuation state of the difference in balls gained and lost, which is a guideline for nail adjustment, and that can accurately adjust the nails of the pachinko game machine. To provide management equipment.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

In Fig. 1, reference numeral 1 indicates a pachinko game machine, one of which is a pachinko game machine, which has an output terminal A for counting winning balls that generates one pulse for every 10 balls won, and an output terminal A for counting winning balls, which generates one pulse for every 10 balls won. It is equipped with an output terminal B for counting batted balls, which generates one pulse per pulse. 2 and 3 are calculation means and auxiliary calculation means, and calculation means 2 and auxiliary calculation means 3 calculate the difference between the hit ball and the prize ball (hit ball) based on each pulse from the output terminals A and B of the pachinko game machine 1. A value obtained by subtracting the total number of prize balls from the total number of pitches included) is calculated, and the calculation results are output as numerical signals S2 and S3, respectively. In particular, the arithmetic means 2 is configured to initialize the arithmetic contents when a pulse signal is received at its reset terminal R. 4 is a first comparison circuit, which compares the numerical signal S2 and a positive set value +Xa preset in the storage section 5, and outputs one pulse signal P4 when the relationship S2≧Xa is established. Output. 6 is the second comparison circuit,
This compares the numerical signal S2 with a negative set value -Xb preset in the storage section 7, and outputs one pulse signal P6 when the relationship S2≧Xb is established. And pulse signal P4 from each comparison circuit 4 and 6
and P6 are applied to the reset terminal R of the arithmetic means 2 via an OR circuit 8 serving as an initialization means, and are also input to the arithmetic means 9. 10 is a third comparison circuit, which compares the numerical signal S3 from the auxiliary means 3 with the stop setting value Xc preset in the storage unit 11, and stops when the relationship S3≧Xc is established. A signal S10 is output and given to the storage means 9. In the storage means 9, 12 is a detection circuit that receives the numerical signal S2, and this detects it every time the direction of displacement of the numerical value indicated by the numerical signal S2 is reversed from the positive direction to the negative direction or from the negative direction to the positive direction (i.e., the calculation (Every time the displacement direction of the calculation result of means 2 is reversed)
outputs one pulse signal P12. Furthermore, in the storage means 9, the above-mentioned pulse signals P4,
The numbers of P6 and P12 are counted by counting circuits 13, 14 and 15, respectively. In this case, counting circuit 1
3 is provided to receive the output of the second comparison circuit 6 and the print command signal Sc to be described later at the reset terminal R, and every time the reset terminal R receives the pulse signal P6 or the above-mentioned print command signal Sc. Initialize the count value. Further, the counting circuit 14 is
The reset terminal R is provided to receive the output of the first comparison circuit 4 and the print command signal Sc, and the pulse signal S4 is connected to the reset terminal R.
Alternatively, the count value is initialized every time the print command signal Sc is received. 16 is a classification circuit which receives as input the count value just before the counting circuit 13 is initialized each time the counting circuit 13 is initialized;
The input circuit for each count value "1", "2", "3"... is stored in the storage circuit 17. 18 is a classification circuit which receives as input the count value just before the counting circuit 14 is initialized each time the counting circuit 14 is initialized;
The number of inputs for each count value "2", "3", etc.) is accumulated, and the cumulative result for each count value "1", "2", "3" is stored in the storage circuit 17. . Note that the storage circuit 17 is provided to also store the counting results of the counting circuit 15. Further, 19 is a counting circuit that counts the number of outputs of the stop signal S10, and a memory circuit 17 is a count result of the counting circuit 19 (i.e., the number of times the stop signal S10 is output).
I am also starting to remember things.

On the other hand, 20 is an operation rate calculating means, which calculates the number of balls hit by the pachinko game machine 1 in a predetermined time based on the pulses from the output terminal B of the pachinko game machine 1. It is divided by the number of balls, and the division result is output as the operating rate signal S20 indicating the operating rate of the pachinko game machine 1. 2
Reference numeral 1 denotes a data processing circuit which receives the operation rate signal S20 and the contents stored in the storage circuit 17 as input, and this circuit receives each data of the pachinko game machine 1 obtained from the above inputs, that is, (A) the classification result by the classification circuit 16;
It outputs a data signal S21 including (B) the classification result by the classification circuit 18, (C) the number of times the displacement direction has been reversed as a result of the calculation by the calculation means 2, (D) the number of stoppages, and (E) the operating rate.
Further, 22 denotes a data signal S21, a numerical signal S3 (corresponding to the difference between balls won and lost in the pachinko game machine 1), and signals Sa indicating the number of winning balls and the number of batted balls of the pachinko game machine 1 output from a counting circuit (not shown). , Sb, etc. via the driver 23. When this printer receives the print command signal Sc, it prints (F) the date and time of the business day, (G) the machine number of the pachinko game machine 1,
(H) Number of batted pitches, (I) Number of prize pitches, and (J) The difference between the above (A) ~
For example, print out the data as shown in FIG. 2 along with each data in (E). Note that the print command signal Sc can be generated as required by the operator.

Although FIG. 1 shows a circuit configuration for controlling only one pachinko game machine 1, it is of course possible to actually control a large number of pachinko game machines.

Next, the operation of the above configuration will be explained. The difference between balls won and lost in the pachinko game machine 1, that is, the calculation result of the auxiliary calculation means 3, changes in a wavy manner from the opening time Ts to the closing time _TE of the pachinko hall, as shown in FIG. 3a, for example. It is. In this case, as shown in FIG. 3b, when the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reaches a positive set value +Xa at time t1, the pulse signal P4 from the first comparator circuit 4 is output. The calculation contents of the calculation means 2 are initialized by P4, and the calculation means 2 restarts the calculation of the difference between the hit ball and the prize ball from the beginning, and the count value of the counting circuit 13 steps up to "1". . Thereafter, when the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reaches the positive set value +Xa again at time t2, the calculation contents of the calculation means 2 are initialized as described above, and the counting circuit 13
The count value steps up to "2". Furthermore, at time t3, when the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reaches a negative set value -Xb, the second comparison circuit 6 outputs the pulse signal P6.
As a result, the calculation contents of the calculation means 2 are initialized, and the count value of the counting circuit 14 is stepped up to "1". At the same time, the above pulse signal
P6 disables the count value of the counting circuit 13, and the count value "2", which is about to initialize the counting circuit 13, is input to the classification circuit 16. The memory circuit 9 stores information that the number of inputs for "2" is one. After this, the same operation as described above is repeated (however, the classification circuit 18
is the classification circuit 1 when the counting circuit 14 is initialized.
6), and the closing point time T _E
When the print command signal Sc is generated at
The counting circuits 13 and 14 are initialized, and the count values of the counting circuits 13 and 14 on the verge of initialization are other than "0" (in the example of FIG. 3, the counting circuit 13
The count value "3") is input to the classification circuit 16 or 18. As a result, in the example of FIG.
The number of times that the count value of 3 reached "3" (corresponding to the number of times that the calculation result of the calculation means 2 reached 3 times the positive setting value + Xa) is stored in the storage means 9 as 2 times, and The number of times the count value reaches "2" and "1" is stored in the memory circuit 9 as 1 time and 0 time, respectively, and the count value of the counting circuit 14 becomes "3", "2", and "1".
The number of times the value is reached is stored as 1 time, 0 time, and 1 time, respectively. On the other hand, every time the displacement direction of the calculation result of the calculation means 2 is reversed, a pulse signal is sent from the detection circuit 12.
P12 is output, and the count value of the counting circuit 15 that counts the pulse signal P12 is H1 to H8 in the example of FIG.
The count becomes "8" as shown by , and the counted value is stored in the storage means 9. Note that when the numerical signal S3 from the auxiliary calculation means 3 exceeds the stop setting value Xc (that is, when the pachinko game machine 1 is stopped), the third
The abort signal S10 is outputted from the comparison circuit 10 to perform abort, and the count value of the counting circuit 19 corresponding to the number of times of abort is stored in the memory circuit 17. Then, as described above, when the print command signal Sc is generated at the closing time T _E , the printer 22
As shown in FIG. 2, each of the data (A) to (J) is printed out.

By the way, it is generally said that for pachinko game machines, the more the fluctuations in the difference between balls gained and lost and the shorter the period of the fluctuations, the better for the business of the pachinko hall. This is used as a guideline for adjustment. However, in the past, although devices have been provided that can detect the peak value of the slump mentioned above, there is no device that can detect the slump itself as a quantitative value, and therefore it is difficult to adjust the nails of pachinko game machines. There was a problem that it could not be done properly. On the other hand, according to this embodiment,
The data as shown in FIG. 2 printed out by the printer 22, in particular, (A) classification results by the classification circuit 16, that is, data on the degree of fluctuation in the direction of increasing the difference between balls won and lost in the pachinko game machine 1; (B) The classification result by the classification circuit 18, that is, the data of the degree of variation in the direction in which the difference in balls gained and lost, (C) the number of times the displacement direction of the calculation result of the second calculation means 3 is reversed, that is, the ball gained and lost of the pachinko game machine 1 Based on the data on the number of times the direction of change in the difference has reversed, it is possible to grasp the fluctuation state of the ball difference as shown in FIG. 3a, as well as the aforementioned slump, as a quantitative value. Moreover, this printed data also includes the operating rate of the pachinko game machine 1, which is necessary as a guideline for nail adjustment, so the nail adjustment of the pachinko game machine 1 can be made appropriately based on such data. can be done.

In addition, the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described above and shown in the drawings; for example, the functions of the first and second calculation means, storage means, etc. may be obtained by a program of a microcomputer. Of course, the present invention can be modified and implemented in various ways without departing from the gist thereof.

According to the present invention, as is clear from the above explanation, it is possible to quantitatively determine the fluctuation state of the difference in balls gained and lost of a pachinko game machine, which is a guideline for nail adjustment, and to It is possible to provide a management device for a pachinko game machine that has the practical effect of accurately adjusting the nails.
