Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] [Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an improved structure of a pachinko game machine in which a game is played by bouncing pachinko balls.

[Prior Art] Currently, most pachinko game machines are constructed mainly of so-called "electric accessories" using motors, solenoids, decorative light bulbs, and the like.

[Problem that the invention aims to solve] Naturally, pachinko game machines that are mainly composed of electric accessories consume a lot of power, and when a large number of these machines are installed, a voltage drop occurs and the pachinko game machine There is a risk that sufficient voltage for normal operation may not be obtained. In reality, many malfunctions occur because the specified voltage is not applied, but it is difficult for the game store to determine the cause of the malfunction in these cases, and it will operate normally if the appropriate voltage is applied. Complaints were brought to the pachinko machine manufacturer, which was not responsible in the first place, which caused unnecessary trouble and caused great economic loss due to wasted efforts to investigate the cause.

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention detects whether or not a predetermined voltage is applied to a part of the pachinko game machine so that the pachinko game machine can operate normally. A display device is attached to display the information.

[Function] If an appropriate voltage is not being applied to the pachinko game machine, the display will clearly indicate this.
Therefore, anyone can accurately and easily determine whether the problem is caused by insufficient voltage.

[Examples] Examples of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings.

A pachinko game machine 1 has a game board 4 attached to the back side of a front frame 3 provided on the front side of a machine frame 2.
This is a well-known structure in which a mechanical plate 7 is provided on the back side of the ball tank 5, a prize ball ejecting device 6, and other functional parts are centrally installed.

The display device 8 of the present invention is arranged and fixed to this mechanism plate 7. FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of the display device 8. Based on this, the display device 8 will be explained. The AC power supply supplied to one pachinko game machine is led into the circuit, and the rectifier circuit 9 The power supply is replaced with a DC power supply, and the voltage actually applied is applied to the negative side of the voltage comparator 10. On the other hand, a reference voltage necessary for the pachinko game machine is loaded from a reference voltage circuit 11 to the positive side of the voltage comparator 10. Further, a light emitting diode 12 is connected to the voltage comparator 10. If the actually applied voltage is higher than the reference voltage, the voltage comparator 10 turns on the light emitting diode 12 to turn it on, and if it is lower than the reference voltage, the light emitting diode 12 turns off.

Needless to say, the display device 8 shown here is just one example, and many circuit configurations are possible. Further, even if the display is not performed using the light emitting diode 12, it is possible to attach a well-known voltmeter 13 as shown in FIG. 3 and color-code the reference voltage range 14 on the scale of the voltmeter 13.

It is considered suitable for handling wiring and other things to install the display 8 as a part of the mechanism board 7 as in this embodiment, but there are other locations such as the front frame 3, machine frame 2, etc. The display may be placed in an easily visible position or the light emitting diode 12 of the display 8 may face the surface of the front frame 3 so that the display can be seen from the front of the pachinko game machine 1.

[Effects of the invention] As described above, according to the invention, it is possible to determine at a glance whether the voltage applied to the pachinko game machine 1 is sufficient to operate it normally by looking at the display 8. becomes.

Therefore, appropriate measures can be taken quickly for malfunctions that were conventionally caused by insufficient voltage, preventing problems between pachinko machine manufacturers and game parlors, and eliminating wasted time in finding the defective location. This can significantly reduce labor costs.

In addition, if the display device 8 is installed in a position where it can be seen from the front of the pachinko game machine 1, it will be possible for workers to discover abnormalities in individual pachinko game machines 1 while patrolling, which will also be useful in the management of the game parlor. Demonstrate your sexuality.
