Abstract

PURPOSE:To enable safe balls and out balls to be detected on the board surface of a PACHINKO game machine by forming return-shaped signal transmitting line patterns and signal receiving line patterns arranged to be crossed over each other, with metallic evaporation on both surfaces of a substrate, and by forming metallic plating patterns on the patterns. CONSTITUTION:A signal transmitting line 22 is formed by forming return-shaped signal transmit ting line patterns with the evaporation of Al-like metal on the one-side surface of a glass base substrate 17b, and by forming copper-like metal plating patterns along the patterns. A signal receiving line 26 is formed on the other side surface of the substrate 17b in the same manner, to be arranged to be crossed over the signal transmitting line patterns. When current is permitted to flow to the return-shaped signal transmitting line 22 and a magnetic field is generated, then an electromotive force is generated on the signal receiving line 26 connected electromagnetically to the signal transmitting line. In this case, when conductors like pin balls B approach, then the current is changed, and according to this change, by the signal receiving line 26, the scale of the electromotive force is changed, and so the approach of the conductors can be discriminated. Accordingly, by the sensor of the conductors, the movement of safe balls and out balls can be followed on the board surface of a PACHINKO game machine.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION "Industrial Application Field" The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a conductor pattern, a conductor sensor, and a pachinko game machine, and particularly relates to a pachinko game machine having a mechanism for sensing a conductor.

``Prior Art'' As a conductive sensor, for example, there is a sensor in a pachinko game machine that detects the passage of a pachinko ball, which is a conductive material, on its path. In pachinko game machines, it is important to accurately understand the balls played by players, the so-called input balls, and the balls that go out as prizes for balls that enter the safe holes for each pachinko game machine. This is the most important information.

Therefore, as a conventional technique for detecting the passage of pachinko balls through the path of a pachinko game machine, there is a technique disclosed in Japanese Patent Publication No. Sho 64-3506.

That is, the publication discloses that an upper sheet and a lower sheet are provided with a pair of contacts, and when a pachinko ball is placed on the upper sheet, the weight of the pachinko ball causes the contact pair to conduct, thereby detecting the pachinko ball. has been done.

``Problem to be solved by the invention'' However, with the above conventional technology, pachinko balls can only be detected through the flow path of the pachinko game machine. It was not possible to detect how the pachinko balls entered the machine, it was not possible to know how the game was progressing, and there was a problem that there was a lack of functionality for accurate management of the pachinko game machine.

In addition, since detection is performed by physical contact between a pair of contacts,
There were problems in that the contact pair lacked durability, and it was impossible to detect objects that were not in contact, making it difficult to adjust the reaction sensitivity.

The present invention has been made by focusing on these conventional problems, and detects safe balls and out balls on the board of a pachinko game machine, which allows detection without physical contact and is durable. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a conductive pattern, a conductive sensor, and a pachinko game machine equipped with such a conductive sensor.

[Means for Solving the Problems] The gist of the present invention to achieve the above object is as follows: 1. Forming a folded transmission line pattern and a reception line pattern by intersecting each other by depositing metal on both sides of a substrate. A method for manufacturing a conductor pattern, comprising forming a metal plating pattern on the pattern along the pattern.

2. The method for manufacturing a conductor pattern according to item 1, wherein the substrate is a glass substrate, the metal vapor deposition is aluminum vapor deposition, and the metal plating is copper plating.

3. Arranging a folded receiving line in a plane-parallel position and electromagnetically coupled in a cross direction to the folded transmitting line, detecting a change in the electromagnetic characteristics of the receiving line due to the approach of a conductor,
The conductor sensor detects a conductor, and the transmission line and the reception line are formed by depositing metal on a substrate to form a folded pattern, and forming a metal plating pattern on the pattern along the pattern. A conductive sensor comprising:

4 A detection matrix is formed by electromagnetically coupling and arranging a plurality of parallel folded reception lines in a horizontal row in a direction crossing the plurality of parallel folded transmission lines, and A transmitting line whose electromagnetic characteristics have changed due to the approach of a conductor and a receiving line whose electromagnetic characteristics have changed due to the approach of a conductor among the plurality of receiving lines are detected, and the intersection position of the transmitting line and the receiving line is detected. a conductor sensor that senses the position of a conductor in the detection matrix, the transmission line and the reception line are formed by metal vapor deposition on a substrate to form a folded pattern, and the pattern is formed on the substrate by metal vapor deposition. A conductive sensor characterized in that it is configured by forming metal plating along the .

5. The conductor sensor according to item 3 or 4, wherein the substrate is a glass substrate, the metal evaporation is aluminum evaporation, and the metal plating is copper plating.

6. A pachinko game machine, characterized in that the front glass is constituted by the conductive sensor according to item 3, 4, or 5.

7. A pachinko game machine characterized in that the game board surface is constituted by the conductive sensor according to item 3, 4, 5, or 6.

``Effect'' When a current is passed through the folded transmission line and a magnetic field is generated,
An electromotive force is generated in the receiving line electromagnetically coupled to the transmitting line due to mutual induction. At this time, when a conductor such as a pachinko ball approaches a conductor sensor, an eddy current is generated on the surface of the conductor in a direction that cancels out the magnetic flux produced by the conductor sensor. The impedance of the transmission line changes due to the influence of the eddy current, causing the current to change. Correspondingly, the receiving line changes the magnitude of the electromotive force. By detecting this change, it is possible to determine whether the conductor is approaching.

When a detection matrix is configured by having a plurality of transmitting lines and receiving lines and arranging them in a crossing direction, the transmitting line and the receiving line whose electromagnetic characteristics have changed are detected, and the detection 71 is performed from the crossing position.
- It is possible to grasp the position of the conductor at the risk as coordinates.

Conductive sensors track the movement of pachinko balls as changes in coordinates on the board of a pachinko game machine, and monitor the progress of the game by attaching conductive sensors to key points on the board, such as safe holes and out holes. The information can be used to know the status of balls in and out, to manage play and stop, check for irregularities due to fraud, and to use as data for nail adjustments, etc.

The conductor pattern is manufactured by forming a metal plating pattern on the transmission line pattern and reception line pattern formed by metal vapor deposition, and by changing the thickness of the metal plating, the DC resistance value between the transmission line and the reception line can be changed. By controlling the reaction sensitivity, the reaction sensitivity can be easily adjusted.

Is there something that can detect this?

Contrary to the above synchronization mode, for one transmission of one transmission line 22 among the plurality of transmission lines 22, the reception line 26.26
There are also cases where -... is detected by scanning - times.

The output of the multiplexer 52 of the output system 50 is connected to the external connection connector 38 of the CPU unit 30 via an impedance converter 54.

Next, the effect will be explained.

When address signals and control signals are output from the CPU unit 30 to the logic controller 31, these signals are transmitted to the pachinko game machine 10 via the external connection connector 38.

In the pachinko game machine 10, the logic sequencer 43 of the input system 40 issues a sequence signal based on the input signal, and the signal is sent to the decoder 42 and the timing generator 44. It is output to the transmission line row counter 45 and the reception line column counter 53.

For each transmission of one of the two transmission lines 22, the plurality of reception lines 26 are scanned once for detection.

When a pachinko ball hits the detection unit 20a, the impedance, which is the electromagnetic characteristic of the detection unit 20a, changes, and this change appears on the receiving lines 26, 26-... at that position, and the transmitting lines 22, 22,... at that position. and the corresponding receiving line 26.26・

The hold unit 34 stores the data sent at high speed to the next A.
The data is temporarily held and stored until the A/D conversion by the /D converter 35 is completed.

The A/D converter 35 converts the analog signal from the detection matrix 20 into a digital signal in units of predetermined bits, such as 12 bits, for example, and sends the digital data to the CPU unit 30 via the data bus. Hold @34.
The operation of the A/D converter 35 is controlled by the logic controller 3.
1 or a signal from a timing generator 36.

A separate output terminal may be provided in the A/D converter 35, and all movements of pachinko balls on the detection matrix 20 may be stored for a long time.

By detecting the transmission line 22 whose impedance value has changed and the reception line 26 whose reception current has changed, the position of the pachinko ball can be determined as the coordinates of the intersection of these lines.

Note that the detection matrix 20 includes a transmission line 22 and a reception line 26.
Since the wires are arranged in parallel folds in a U-turn and are perpendicular to each other, the pattern is simple and unobtrusive, and can be easily manufactured using wire materials such as copper wire. Furthermore, the length of the transmission line 22 and reception tiA 26 of the detection matrix 20 is shorter and the DC resistance is lower than when the transmission line 22 and reception line 26 are bent, so the response sensitivity is good. be.

The conductor pattern of the detection matrix 20 is manufactured by forming a plating pattern of a metal 22b such as copper on a transmitting line 22 pattern and a receiving line 26 pattern formed by vapor deposition of a metal 22a such as aluminum, By changing the thickness of the copper plating, the DC resistance value of the transmitting line and the receiving line can be controlled, and the response sensitivity can be easily adjusted.

Moreover, the transparent conductive film 28 on the surface of the outer glass plate 17c is
