The infrared light emitted from the photosensor 1 passes through the perforations 6b formed in the detected portion 6a.
The light is received by 9.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, a coin shooter 20 for detecting the insertion of a coin and a speaker 21 for producing a sound effect are provided on the front surface of the control device 4. Also,
A score display panel 22 and a high score display panel 23, which constitute a display means composed of LEDs, are provided on the upper front portion of the control device 4. Score display panel 22 and high score display panel 23
Both are composed of upper and lower three-stage display units, and the upper row shows the "turning kick" score, the middle row shows the "right kick up" score, and the lower row shows the "left kick up" score. . Further, the control device 4 is internally provided with a microcomputer C as a calculation means.

Next, the electrical configuration of the kick force measuring type game machine 1 will be described with reference to FIG. As shown in FIG. 3, the microcomputer C provided in the control device 4 comprises a central processing unit (hereinafter referred to as CPU) 24, a ROM 25 for storing control programs and the like in advance, and a RAM 26 for temporarily storing calculation results of the CPU 24 and the like. Has been done. CPU2

25, a kick force value calculation program for calculating a kick force value and voice data for causing a predetermined voice to be generated from the speaker 21 are stored. Further, the CPU 24 uses the timer 24a.
Built in.

As shown in the figure, a coin shooter 20, a photo sensor 19, and micro switches 16 and 17 are connected to the input side of the CPU 24. Coin shooter 2
When 0 detects the insertion of a coin, it outputs a start signal to the CPU 24, and based on the start signal, the CPU 24 causes the ROM 2
5, the control program stored in 5 is executed. The photo sensor 19 outputs a light receiving signal to the CPU 24 when receiving the infrared light from the photodiode 18. Further, the microswitches 16 and 17 output an ON signal to the CPU 24 when a proximity object is detected in the detection area, and output an OFF signal to the CPU 24 when the proximity object is no longer detected.

On the other hand, the drive circuit 2 is provided on the output side of the CPU 24.
Photodiode 18, electromagnetic cylinder 15,
The motor 10, the speaker 21, the score display panel 22, and the high score display panel 23 are connected. The CPU 24 executes the control program stored in the ROM 25 based on the start signal of the coin shooter 20. Then, the CPU 24 controls the photodiode 18, the electromagnetic cylinder 15, the motor 10, and the speaker 2 according to the control program.
1, the score display panel 22 and the high score display panel 23 are driven and controlled via the drive circuit 27. Further, the RAM 26 stores high score kicking force value data, and the kicking force value data is constantly displayed on the high score display panel 23 when the kick force measuring game machine 1 is started.

Next, the operation of the kick force measuring type game machine configured as described above will be described. The player can enjoy three types of kicks, "turning kick", "right kick up", and "left kick up" by the kick force measuring type game machine 1. Before the game of the kick force measurement type game machine 1 is started, the kick force value stored in the RAM 26 is displayed as a high score on the high score display panel 23 of the control device 4, and the kick bag 3 is indicated by a chain double-dashed line in FIG. It is in a state of falling as shown in. At this time, the electromagnetic cylinder 15 is contracted inside the base 2.

When a coin is inserted into the coin shooter 20, the coin shooter 20 detects the insertion of the coin and detects CP.
The start signal is output to U24, and the CPU 24 executes the control program stored in the ROM 25 based on the start signal. At this time, the CPU 24 causes the photodiode 18 to emit infrared light through the drive circuit 27 based on the start signal, and extends the electromagnetic cylinder 15 to strongly press the belt 13 and the detected portion 6a against the pressing member 14. Let

Next, the CPU 24 determines the falling direction of the kicking bag 3 based on the ON / OFF signals from the micro switches 16 and 17, and drives and rotates the motor 10 in the direction in which the kicking bag 3 is upright. At that time, when the kicking bag 3 reaches the upright position, the photo sensor 19 receives the infrared light emitted from the photodiode 18 through the perforation 6b of the detected portion 6a as shown in FIG. Is output. The CPU 24 stops the drive of the motor 10 via the drive circuit 27 based on the received light signal, and immediately after that, the electromagnetic cylinder 15 is contracted to separate the pressing member 14 from the belt 13. As a result, the kicking bag 3 is shown in FIG.
Stop in the upright position as shown in. At this time, even if the pressing member 14 is separated from the belt 13, the kicking bag 3 does not fall due to its own weight or some lateral force due to friction between the end surface 6c and the belt 13. Thus, the kicking bag 3 is in a state where the first kicking is performed.

First, the CPU 24 gives a voice instruction to start the "turning kick" from the speaker 21 via the drive circuit 27. Then, the turning kick is performed on the kicking bag 3. For example, when the kicking bag 3 is kicked by a counterclockwise kick, the kicking bag 3 vigorously falls to the right in the figure around the rotation axis 7 as shown in FIG. To do.

At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the infrared light to the photo sensor 19 is blocked inside the base 2 by the movement of the perforation 6b which rotates integrally with the detected portion 6a.
The received light signal input to 24 is cut off. At the same time when the light receiving signal is cut off, the CPU 24 causes the timer 24a to start counting, and the rotated detected portion 6a causes the microswitch 16 to operate.
Is detected and the ON signal is input to the CPU 24, the timer 24a stops counting time.

The CPU 24 reads the measured time T1 at this time from the timer 24a, calculates the kicking force value from the measured time T1 using the kicking force calculation program stored in the ROM 25, and causes the drive circuit 27 to respond to the kicking force value. Output the display command signal. The drive circuit 27 displays the kicking force value on the upper stage of the score display board 22 based on the display command signal, for example, "135 Kg" in FIG. Further, the CPU 24 compares the calculated kicking force value with the kicking force value data of “high score” stored in the RAM 26, and determines which one has the larger kicking force value on the high score display panel 23 via the drive circuit 27. Display in the upper row. When the kicking force value data of “high score” is larger, the display does not change, for example, “189 Kg” in FIG. At this time, the CPU 24 outputs the voice command signal based on the voice data stored in the ROM 25 to the drive circuit 27, and the drive circuit 27 outputs the voice command signal to the speaker 2 based on the voice command signal.
Sound effects such as screams and cheers are generated from 1. In this way, the first kick is completed.

When the first kicking is completed, the kicking bag 3 is in a state of falling to the right side of the figure as shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. The second kick is started from this state. First, the CPU 24 recognizes from the ON signal from the micro switch 16 that the second kick is “right kick up”. The CPU 24 controls the speaker 21 via the drive circuit 27.
To give the start signal for "right kick up" by voice.
When the player kicks the kicking bag 3 to the right, the kicking bag 3 rotates to the left in the figure and vigorously collides with the left mat 8 to stop.

At this time, inside the base 2, the detected portion 6a rotates counterclockwise about the rotary shaft 7 from the state shown by the chain double-dashed line in FIG. At the initial stage of this rotation, the detection of the micro switch 16 by the detected portion 6a is released, and when the kicking bag 3 passes through the upright position, the infrared light is perforated for a moment 6
After passing through b, it is incident on the photosensor 19, and a photodetection signal is output from the photosensor 19.

In this process, the CPU 24 causes the timer 24a to start counting at the same time when the ON signal from the micro switch 16 is switched to the OFF signal. When a light receiving signal is input from the photo sensor 19, the timer 24a stops counting time. The CPU 24 measures the time T at this time.
2 is read from the timer 24a, a kick force value is calculated from the time count T2 using the kick force calculation program stored in the ROM 25, and a display command signal corresponding to the kick force value is output to the drive circuit 27. The drive circuit 27 displays, for example, “92 Kg” in FIG. 1 in the middle of the score display panel 22 based on the display command signal.
To display the kick force value. Further, the CPU 24 compares the calculated kicking force value with the kicking force value data of “high score” stored in the RAM 26, and determines the one having the larger kicking force value on the high score display panel 23 via the drive circuit 27. Display in the middle row. At this time, the CPU 24 outputs a voice command signal based on the voice data stored in the ROM 25 to the drive circuit 27, and the drive circuit 27 causes the speaker 21 to produce a sound effect such as a scream or a cheer based on the voice command signal. In this way, the second kick is completed.

When the second kick is completed, the kick bag 3 is in a state of falling to the left side in FIG. The third kick is started from this state. The CPU 24 recognizes from the ON signal from the microswitch 17 that the third kick is “left kick up”. CPU 24 is a drive circuit 27
A start signal for "left kick up" is given by voice from the speaker 21 via the. When the player kicks the kicking bag 3 to the left, the kicking bag 3 rotates rightward in the figure and collides with the mat 8 on the right side to stop.

At this time, inside the base 2, the detected part 6a rotates clockwise around the rotation shaft 7. That is,
The detected part 6a rotates so as to restore the rotational motion at the time of the second kick. And in this rotation process, C
The PU 24 causes the timer 24a to start counting at the same time when the ON signal from the micro switch 17 becomes an OFF signal, and when the light receiving signal is input from the photo sensor 19, the timer 24a
Stop the clock. The CPU 24 reads the measured time T3 at this time from the timer 24a, calculates the kicking force value in the same manner, and displays the kicking force value on the lower stage of the driving score display panel 22. The lower display of the high score display panel 23 is changed according to the kicking force value. At this time, the CPU 24 causes the speaker 21 to audibly generate a sound effect such as a scream or cheer and a kick force evaluation of the player through the drive circuit 27. Thus 3
All kicks are completed.

When all three kicks are completed, the CPU 24
Outputs a game completion signal, and the drive circuit 27 causes the photodiode 18 to stop emitting infrared light based on the game completion signal. In addition, when the "turning kick", which is the first kicking, is performed by "clockwise turning", the second and third kicks are "left kicking up" and "right kicking up", respectively, and the CPU 24 Judge them.

As described above in detail, according to the kick force measuring type game machine 1 of this embodiment, the kicking bag 3 is swingably provided, and the kicking bag 3 is detected at the end of the support shaft 6 of the kicking bag 3. The portion 6a is formed, and the rotation speed of the detected portion 6a is detected by the photo sensor 19a.
And the microswitches 16 and 17 are used for measurement. Then, the kick force value of the player is calculated from the measured rotation speed of the detected portion 6a, and the score display board 2 of the control device 4 is calculated.
2 and the high score display panel 23 were made to display three types of kicking force values of “turning kick”, “right kick up”, and “left kick up”.

(Third Embodiment) A third embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. The kick force measuring type game machine 1 is different from the first and second embodiments in the method of detecting the rotation speed of the kicking bag 3 from the detected portion 6a. The same components as those in each of the above-described embodiments are designated by the same reference numerals and the description thereof will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 7, the support shaft 6 of the kicking bag 3 is provided.
In the detected portion 6a formed on the lower end side of the arc, a large number of perforations 6d formed at predetermined intervals at positions slightly inward in the radial direction of the arcuate end surface 6c are arcuate along the end surface 6c. It is provided to make. Belt 1 of detected part 6a
A photodiode 18 and a photo sensor 19 are installed in the vicinity of the contact point with the photo sensor 3 so as to face each other with the detected portion 6a interposed therebetween. The photo sensor 19 can receive the infrared light from the photodiode 18 passing through the perforations 6d by distinguishing it for each perforation 6d. That is, the photo sensor 19 does not receive infrared light from the plurality of perforations 6d at one time. When the detected portion 6a rotates, the photo sensor 19 receives the infrared light from each hole 6d as pulsed light and outputs a pulse signal (light reception signal) to the CPU 24.

Therefore, in the upright operation of the knocked kicking bag 3, the CPU 24 counts the number of pulses from the photo sensor 19 simultaneously with the driving of the motor 10, and the motor 10 is driven when the count value reaches a predetermined value. It is done by stopping. Then, in the upright state of the kicking bag 3, the photo sensor 19 is stopped in a state of receiving infrared light.

After that, as a result of the kicking bag 3 being kicked,
When the received light signal from the photo sensor 19 is momentarily cut off, CP
U24 starts counting the number of pulses from the photo sensor 19 and also causes the timer 24a to start counting time. Then, the CPU 24 stops counting the number of pulses when the timer 24a counts a predetermined time ΔT as shown in FIG. CPU 24 is a ROM from the count value n of the number of pulses
The kick force value is calculated based on the kick force calculation program stored in 25.

Further, the kicking force value due to the kicking up is calculated from the count value n of the number of pulses from the photo sensor 19 from the time when the micro switches 16 and 17 are switched from the ON signal to the OFF signal until the predetermined time Δt is counted. Desired.

According to this embodiment, a large number of perforations 6d are provided in the detected portion 6a and the detected portion 6 within a predetermined time Δt.
The rotation amount of a was determined as the number of pulses of intermittent pulsed light sent from each hole 6d. Therefore, the detection accuracy of the rotation amount depends on the distance between the holes 6d formed in the detected portion 6a,
By setting the intervals of the perforations 6d to be appropriately fine, it is possible to obtain a highly accurate rotation amount. That is, a kick value with high accuracy can be calculated from a rotation amount with high accuracy. Further, according to this configuration, the precision of the kicking force value can be arbitrarily selected by appropriately adjusting the distance between the perforations 6d.

For example, as shown in the figure, the kick force can be obtained by installing the encoder 30 on the rotary shaft 7 that rotates integrally with the kicking bag 3 and calculating the displacement amount from the number of encoder pulses. In this case, the detected part 6a becomes unnecessary. Further, any structure can be adopted as long as the amount of displacement corresponding to the kicking force can be obtained.

(2) In each of the above embodiments, the rotary shaft 7 and the motor 10 may be directly connected via an electromagnetic clutch. In this case, the electromagnetic clutch may be turned on when the kicking bag 3 is upright, and the electromagnetic clutch may be turned off when the kicking bag 3 is kicked. According to this configuration, the belt 13, the pressing member 14, and the electromagnetic cylinder 1
In addition to eliminating the need for 5 and the like, it is possible to reliably prevent detection errors due to slippage of the belt 13.

(3) In each of the above embodiments, the kicking force was calculated based on the rotation speed of the detected portion 6a.
The rotation speed may be obtained as the number of encoder pulses within a predetermined time from the encoder installed in, and the kick force may be calculated from the rotation speed. In addition, any configuration can be appropriately adopted as long as it is possible to obtain the rotation speed (may be the time required for the predetermined rotation amount) according to the kicking force.

(4) In each of the above embodiments, the kicking force was calculated based on the rotation speed of the detected portion 6a.
A torque converter may be installed in and the kick force may be obtained from the torque converter.

(5) In each of the above embodiments, the score display panel 22 and the high score display panel 2 each having LED as the display means are used.
