[0008] At least the following points will become apparent from the description of this specification and the accompanying drawings. That is, a storage section for storing prizes; An opening and closing door provided on the front surface of the storage section; An operation console provided to protrude forward from the storage unit; a prize acquisition unit that performs an operation to acquire the prize based on a game operation performed on the operation console; a lock mechanism that locks or unlocks the door by rotating a key inserted in a keyhole; Equipped with This is a prize acquisition game device characterized in that the keyhole mounting surface is arranged on the side of the operation table facing diagonally forward. With this type of prize acquisition game device, the keyhole for inserting the key is attached to the side of the operating table, so the design of the prize acquisition game device is not marred when viewed from the front, and since the keyhole is positioned on the side of the operating table with the mounting surface facing diagonally forward, visibility is also improved, making it easier to insert and remove the key in the keyhole.

[0009] In addition, in the prize acquisition game device, The opening and closing door has a left door and a right door, The lock mechanism includes a first lock mechanism for the left door and a second lock mechanism for the right door, A mounting surface of a keyhole into which a key for locking or unlocking the left door is inserted is disposed on the left side surface of the operation console so as to face diagonally forward; A keyhole for inserting a key for locking or unlocking the right door may be provided on the right side of the operation console so as to face obliquely forward. With this type of prize acquisition game device, even if a locking mechanism is provided for each of the left and right doors, the keyholes for inserting the key are attached to the left and right side surfaces of the control console, respectively, so the design of the prize acquisition game device is not compromised when viewed from the front.Furthermore, by arranging the mounting surfaces of the keyholes on the left and right side surfaces of the control console with each facing diagonally forward, visibility is also improved, making it easier to insert and remove the key into the keyhole.

[0010] In addition, in the prize acquisition game device, The left-right length of the operation console may be made shorter than the left-right length of the storage section, thereby forming a key operation space on both the left and right sides of the operation console for performing key operations on the keyhole. With this type of prize acquisition game device, even if the prize acquisition game device is installed with the side of the storage section close to a wall, or installed next to other game devices, key operation space is secured on both the left and right sides of the operating table, making it easier to insert and remove the key into the keyhole.

[0011] === Implementation form === <<Configuration of the prize acquisition game device>> An example of the configuration of the prize acquisition game device 1 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2. Fig. 1 is an external view showing the configuration of the prize acquisition game device 1 according to this embodiment. Fig. 2 is a schematic view showing the configuration of a moving unit 50 according to this embodiment.

[0012] In the following explanation, each direction is defined as shown in each figure. That is, the vertical direction is defined as the "up-down direction," and "up" and "down" are defined according to gravity. Furthermore, based on the view from the player playing the game facing the prize acquisition game device 1, the near side is defined as the "front" and the far side is defined as the "rear," forming a "front-to-rear direction." Furthermore, the direction perpendicular to the up-down and front-to-rear directions is defined as the "left-to-right direction," and based on the view from the player, "right" and "left" are defined.

[0013] The prize acquisition game device 1 of this embodiment is used when a player plays a prize acquisition game, and is equipped with a storage section 10 that stores one or more prizes, and a base section 60 provided below the storage section 10.

[0014] As shown in Fig. 1, the front and left and right sides of the storage unit 10 are made of transparent materials (e.g., transparent resin, glass, etc.) so that players can see the prizes stored in the storage space. An opening and closing door 11 made of a transparent material is provided on the front of the storage unit 10, allowing workers (e.g., store staff) to display and replenish the prizes. Pillars 12 are provided at the four corners of the storage unit 10.

[0015] The opening and closing door 11 is a sliding door type door that opens and closes by sliding along a rail extending in the left-right direction. The opening and closing door 11 can be locked or unlocked by turning a key inserted in a keyhole 76 provided on the side of the operation console 70, as shown in Fig. 1, through the operation of a locking mechanism provided on the base unit 60.

[0016] 1, the opening and closing door 11 in this embodiment has a left door 11a and a right door 11b, and can be opened and closed from both the left and right sides. In this embodiment, locking mechanisms (a first locking mechanism and a second locking mechanism) are provided corresponding to the left door 11a and the right door 11b, respectively.

[0017] Therefore, when opening the left door 11a, the key inserted into the left keyhole 76 is turned to operate the first locking mechanism for the left door, thereby changing the left door 11a from a locked state to an unlocked state, and then the left door 11a is slid to the right.

[0018] In addition, when opening the right door 11b, the key inserted into the right keyhole 76 (not shown) is turned to operate the second locking mechanism for the right door, thereby changing the right door 11b from a locked state to an unlocked state, and then the right door 11b is slid to the left.

[0019] The storage space enclosed by the storage section 10 is used as a play area for players to play the prize acquisition game. If the pillars 12 on both sides of the opening and closing door 11 are made of mirror-like or transparent materials, they will not stand out visually, making the play area appear larger.

[0020] As shown in FIG. 2, the storage unit 10 in this embodiment has a prize capturing unit 20 that performs a prize capturing operation in the storage space, and a moving unit 50 that moves the prize capturing unit 20 in the storage space.

[0021] In this embodiment, a first play area where a player plays a prize acquisition game is formed on the left side of the storage space, and a second play area is formed on the right side of the storage space. Prize acquisition units 20 are arranged corresponding to the first play area on the left side and the second play area on the right side. Therefore, each prize acquisition unit 20 is configured to be able to move within each play area and acquire prizes.

[0022] The prize capturing section 20 is for capturing the prizes stored in the storage section 10 by opening and closing the arms. As shown in Fig. 2, the prize capturing section 20 in this embodiment is configured so as to be able to grasp the prizes by three arms 21, and is connected to the lower end of the lifting section 52a.

[0023] 2, the moving unit 50 is disposed in the upper part of the storage unit 10 and moves the prize capture unit 20 within the play area formed by the storage unit 10. The moving unit 50 in this embodiment has a horizontal moving unit 51 and a vertical moving unit 52, as shown in FIG.

[0024] The horizontal movement unit 51 moves the prize capture unit 20 horizontally (i.e., forward / backward and left / right) in the play area. As shown in FIG. 2, the horizontal movement unit 51 in this embodiment has a left / right movement unit 53 and a front / back movement unit 54.

[0025] The left-right movement unit 53 moves the prize capture unit 20 left-right in the play area.

[0026] As shown in FIG. 2, the left-right movement section 53 in this embodiment has a pair of fixed rails 53a extending in the left-right direction, a left-right movement motor 53b, an encoder (not shown), and a limit sensor (not shown).

[0027] The pair of fixed rails 53a are fixed to the upper part of the storage unit 10 so as to be parallel to each other in the left-right direction. A front-rear moving unit 54 is attached to the pair of fixed rails 53a so as to be slidable in the left-right direction. The front-rear moving unit 54 can be moved in the left-right direction along the fixed rails 53a by driving the left-right movement motor 53b.

[0028] The encoder detects the number of rotations of the left-right movement motor 53b. Based on the output of the encoder, the left-right position of the forward-rear movement unit 54 (i.e., the left-right position of the prize capture unit 20) can be detected.

[0029] The limit sensor is for detecting when the forward / backward moving section 54 reaches its limit position in the left / right direction (that is, when the prize capturing section 20 reaches its limit position in the left / right direction).

[0030] The forward / backward movement unit 54 moves the prize capture unit 20 forward / backward in the play area.

[0031] As shown in FIG. 2, the front-rear movement unit 54 in this embodiment has a movable rail 54a extending along the front-rear direction, a front-rear movement motor 54b, an encoder (not shown), and a limit sensor (not shown).

[0032] The vertical moving part 52 is attached to the movable rail 54a so as to be slidable along the front-rear direction. The vertical moving part 52 can be moved in the front-rear direction along the movable rail 54a by driving the front-rear movement motor 54b.

[0033] The encoder detects the number of rotations of the forward / backward movement motor 54b. Based on the output of this encoder, the position of the vertical movement unit 52 in the forward / backward direction (i.e., the position of the prize capture unit 20 in the forward / backward direction) can be detected.

[0034] The limit sensor is for detecting when the vertical moving section 52 has reached its limit position in the front-rear direction (i.e., when the prize capturing section 20 has reached its limit position in the front-rear direction).

[0035] The vertical movement unit 52 moves the prize capture unit 20 in the vertical direction (that is, up and down) in the play area.

[0036] As shown in FIG. 2, the vertical movement unit 52 in this embodiment has a lifting member 52a that is configured to be freely expandable and contractable along the vertical direction, a wire winding unit (not shown), a vertical movement motor (not shown), an upper limit sensor (not shown), and a lower limit sensor (not shown).

[0037] The lifting member 52a is configured by fitting a number of pipes of successively smaller diameters in a telescopic manner so as to be freely slidable. The prize capture unit 20 is attached to the lower end of the lifting member 52a in a state connected to a wire passing through the inside of the pipe.

[0038] The wire winding section is driven by a vertical movement motor to wind up the wire, thereby raising the prize capturing section 20 while successively storing the lower pipes in the upper pipe, or to lower the prize capturing section 20 by unwinding the wire, while successively sending out the lower pipes from the upper pipe.

[0039] The upper limit sensor detects whether the prize capturing section 20 has stopped rising by winding up the wire connected to the prize capturing section 20.

[0040] The lower limit sensor detects whether the descent of the prize capturing unit 20 has stopped based on a change in tension of the wire connected to the prize capturing unit 20 .

[0041] The base 60 is the base part of the housing provided below the storage part 10, and holds the storage part 10 at a high position so that the player can play the game while standing and facing forward.

[0042] 1, the base unit 60 in this embodiment has a prize outlet 61 for taking out prizes that have fallen from the play area after being captured by the prize capturing unit 20, an operation table 70 protruding forward of the storage unit 10, and a locking mechanism 80 (not shown) for locking or unlocking the opening and closing door 11. The specific configurations of the operation table 70 and the locking mechanism 80 will be described below.

[0043] <<Configuration of the operation console 70>> A configuration example of the operation console 70 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 1, 3, and 4. Fig. 3 is an external view showing the left end of the operation console 70 according to this embodiment. Fig. 3A is a perspective view showing the left end of the operation console 70 before the first operation unit 71a on the left side is removed. Fig. 3B is a perspective view showing the left end of the operation console 70 after the first operation unit 71a on the left side is removed. Fig. 4 is a plan view showing the left end of the operation console 70 according to this embodiment. Fig. 4A is a plan view showing the left end of the operation console 70 before the first operation unit 71a on the left side is removed. Fig. 4B is a plan view showing the left end of the operation console 70 after the first operation unit 71a on the left side is removed.

[0044] The operation console 70 is used when a player operates a game or when a store staff operates settings. As shown in FIG. 1, the operation console 70 in this embodiment has an operation section 71, a coin insertion slot 74, a setting section 75, and a keyhole 76.

[0045] The operation units 71 are provided on both the left and right ends of the operation console 70 , and have a joystick 72 and operation buttons 73 .

[0046] As shown in FIG. 1, the operation unit 71 in this embodiment has a first operation unit 71a on the left end and a second operation unit 71b on the right end, and is provided to correspond to the first play area on the left and the second play area on the right, respectively.

[0047] 4A, the left side surface of the first operating part 71a in this embodiment is configured with a first side surface formed so as to be inclined toward the front side in the front-rear direction, and a second side surface formed so as to be parallel to the side surface 10s of the storage part 10. The right side surface of the second operating part 71b is configured in the same manner.

[0048] By configuring it in this way, even if the prize acquisition game device 1 is installed at a corner of a store's aisle, it is unlikely to be an obstacle for passersby. Also, even if the prize acquisition game device 1 is installed close to a wall, the prize outlet 61 (see FIG. 1) for taking out the prizes is easy to see.

[0049] The joystick 72 is an operating lever used by the player to move the prize capturing unit 20 horizontally. The operation button 73 is an operating button used by the player to determine the horizontal position of the prize capturing unit 20. When the operation button 73 is pressed by the player, the prize capturing unit 20 starts to descend at the determined position.

[0050] The coin slot 74 is provided on the central upper surface of the console 70 and is used by the player to pay a play fee.

[0051] A prize acquisition game begins when a player inserts a predetermined number of coins into the coin insertion slot 74. In this embodiment, the coin insertion slots 74 are provided corresponding to the first play area on the left side and the second play area on the right side.

[0052] The setting unit 75 is provided on the central upper surface of the operation console 70, and is used by the store staff when performing operations related to the settings of the prize acquisition game. The setting unit 75 has a setting operation unit and a display unit. In this embodiment, the setting units 75 are provided corresponding to the first play area on the left side and the second play area on the right side.

[0053] The setting operation section is for receiving operational inputs relating to game settings. In this embodiment, the setting operation section is configured with a touch panel, and receives input instructions from the operator from a pressed position on the touch panel.

[0054] The touch panel is layered on top of the display unit, and when a touch operation is performed on the screen, the pressed position (contact position) can be detected based on a change in electrostatic capacitance between the fingertip and the conductive film.

[0055] The display unit displays a setting screen for the prize acquisition game. In this embodiment, the display unit 102 is configured with a liquid crystal display. The display unit can also display a game screen related to the prize acquisition game and a guide screen that encourages the player to play the game.

[0056] 3A, the keyhole 76 is provided on a side surface 70s of the operation console 70, and a key can be inserted into the keyhole 76 for operating a lock mechanism 80 that locks or unlocks the opening and closing door 11. The keyholes 76 in this embodiment are provided corresponding to the left door 11a and the right door 11b, respectively.

[0057] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 3A and 4A, a mounting surface 77 of a keyhole 76 is arranged on a side surface 70s of an operation console 70 with the mounting surface 77 facing diagonally forward. That is, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B, the direction in which the key is removed from the keyhole 76 and the normal direction of the mounting surface 77 coincide with each other by facing diagonally forward, and the keyhole 76 is arranged so that the normal direction of the mounting surface 77 and the front-rear direction intersect diagonally.

[0058] By arranging in this way, even if the keyhole 76 is provided on the side surface 70s of the operation console 70, visibility is improved compared to when the normal direction of the mounting surface 77 (i.e., the direction in which the key is removed from the keyhole 76) intersects with the front-to-rear direction at a right angle, making it easier to insert and remove the key into and from the keyhole. Also, when viewed from the front of the prize acquisition game device 1, the design can be improved compared to when the keyhole is provided on the top surface of the operation console 70 or the front surface of the storage unit 10.

[0059] 3A and 4A, in this embodiment, in addition to the mounting surface 77 (first side surface) of the keyhole 76, a flat surface 78 (second side surface) parallel to the side surface 10s of the storage unit 10 is formed on the side surface 70s of the operation console 70 so as to be continuous with the mounting surface 77. In this way, the keyhole position is not unnecessarily noticeable when viewed from the front, which further improves the design.

[0060] 1, the left-right length of the operation console 70 is configured to be shorter than the left-right length of the storage unit 10. By configuring it in this way, as shown in FIG 4A, a key operation space A for performing key operations on the keyhole 76 can be formed on both the left and right sides of the operation console 70.

[0061] As a result, even if the prize acquisition game device 1 is placed with the side surface 10s of the storage section 10 close to a wall, or placed next to another game device, as shown in FIG. 4A, key operation space A is secured on both the left and right sides of the operation console 70, making it easier to insert and remove the key into the keyhole 76.

[0062] <<About the lock mechanism 80>> An example of the configuration of the lock mechanism 80 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Figs. 3 to 5. Fig. 5 is a schematic diagram showing the lock mechanism when the opening and closing door 11 is in a locked state. Fig. 5A is a schematic perspective view showing the first lock mechanism 80a when the left door 11a is in a locked state. Fig. 5B is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the first lock mechanism 80a when the left door 11a is in a locked state. Note that Fig. 5 shows a state in which the first operating part 71a on the left side has been removed.

[0063] The locking mechanism 80 is provided inside the base unit 60 and serves to lock or unlock the opening / closing door 11 by turning a key inserted into a keyhole 76 provided on the side of the operation console 70.

[0064] The locking mechanism 80 in this embodiment has a first locking mechanism 80a for the left door that is operated by turning a key inserted into a keyhole 76 on the left side of the operation console 70, and a second locking mechanism 80b for the right door that is operated by turning a key inserted into a keyhole 76 on the right side of the operation console 70, and is provided corresponding to each of the left door 11a and the right door 11b.

[0065] In the following, since the first locking mechanism 80a for the left door and the second locking mechanism 80b for the right door have the same configuration, the first locking mechanism 80a for the left door will be specifically described.

[0066] <Configuration of lock mechanism 80> As shown in FIG. 5, the first lock mechanism 80a in this embodiment uses a link mechanism having a plurality of link bars to lock or unlock the left door 11a.

[0067] 3B and 4B, the keyhole 76 on the left side surface of the operation console 70 is provided in a cylinder 77 that extends in the key insertion direction. The cylinder 77 is attached to the base member 81 so that the keyhole 76 faces diagonally forward.

[0068] As shown in FIGS. 3B and 5B, a cylinder cam 82 is attached to the inside of the cylinder 77 with a base member 81 sandwiched therebetween.

[0069] The cylinder cam 82 is rotatably connected to one end of a first link bar 83 via a first pin P1. The position of the first pin P1 can be changed in accordance with the rotation of the cylinder cam 82.

[0070] The other end of the first link bar 83 is rotatably connected via a third pin P3 to one end of each of the second link bar 84 and the third link bar 85. The position of the third pin P3 can be changed in accordance with the movement of the first link bar 83.

[0071] The other end of the second link bar 84 is rotatably connected via a second pin P2 to the inside of the base portion 60. The position of the second pin P2 is fixed.

[0072] The other end of the third link bar 85 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the lock pin 86 via a fourth pin P4. A roller 88 is attached to the back side of the fourth pin P4, with the lock pin 86 in between. The roller 88 engages with a guide rail 87 having a U-shaped cross section. The cross section of the guide rail 87 may be L-shaped.

[0073] The lock pin 86 is guided by a pin guide 89 in accordance with the movement of a roller 88, and its upper end fits into a lock hole 11h provided in the lower end of the left door 11a, thereby locking the left door 11a.

[0074] <Operation of the lock mechanism 80> The operation of the lock mechanism 80 according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6. Fig. 6 is a schematic diagram showing the lock mechanism when the opening and closing door 11 is in an unlocked state. Fig. 6A is a schematic perspective view showing the first lock mechanism 80a when the left door 11a is in an unlocked state. Fig. 6B is a schematic cross-sectional view showing the first lock mechanism 80a when the left door 11a is in an unlocked state.

[0075] When the left door 11a is in a locked state (see FIG. 5B), the key is inserted into the lock hole 76 to rotate the cylinder 77 clockwise. The cylinder cam 82 attached to the cylinder 77 also rotates clockwise at the same time.

[0076] When the cylinder cam 82 rotates clockwise, the first pin P1 also rotates clockwise in conjunction with the rotation of the cylinder cam 82, and the first link bar 83 pushed by the first pin P1 moves toward the rear (see FIG. 6B).

[0077] When the first link bar 83 moves to the rear, the third pin P3 moves to the rear in conjunction with the movement of the first link bar 83, and the second link bar 84 pushed by the third pin P3 rotates clockwise around the second pin P2 as an axis. At the same time, the third link bar 85 pushed by the third pin P3 moves the roller 88 of the fourth pin P4 downward in the vertical direction along the guide rail 87.

[0078] When the roller 88 of the fourth pin P4 moves vertically downward along the guide rail 87, the lock pin 86 moves vertically downward along the pin guide 89 in conjunction with the movement of the roller 88. As a result, the tip of the lock pin 86 comes out of the lock hole 11h of the left door 11a, and the left door 11a becomes unlocked (unlocked).

[0079] This allows the store staff to slide the left door 11a to the right, making it possible to display and replenish prizes in the first play area on the left side.

[0080] After the display and replenishing of prizes are completed, if the closed left door 11a is in an unlocked state (see FIG. 6B), the key is inserted into the lock hole 76 to rotate the cylinder 77 counterclockwise. At the same time, the cylinder cam 82 attached to the cylinder 77 also rotates clockwise.

[0081] When the cylinder cam 82 rotates counterclockwise, the first pin P1 rotates counterclockwise in conjunction with the rotation of the cylinder cam 82, and the first link bar 83 is pulled back by the first pin P1 and moves towards the front (see FIG. 5B).

[0082] When the first link bar 83 moves to the rear, the third pin P3 also moves to the front in conjunction with the movement of the first link bar 83, and the second link bar 84, which has been pulled back by the third pin P3, rotates counterclockwise around the second pin P2 as an axis. At the same time, the third link bar 85, which has been pulled back by the third pin P3, moves the roller 88 of the fourth pin P4 upward in the vertical direction along the guide rail 87.

[0083] When the roller 88 of the fourth pin P4 moves upward in the vertical direction along the guide rail 87, the lock pin 86 moves upward in the vertical direction along the pin guide 89 in conjunction with the movement of the roller 88. As a result, the tip of the lock pin 86 fits into the lock hole 11h of the left door 11a, and the left door 11a becomes in a locked state (locked).

[0084] ===Other embodiments=== The above-mentioned embodiment is for facilitating understanding of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention. The present invention may be modified or improved without departing from the spirit thereof, and the present invention also includes equivalents thereof. In particular, the following embodiment is also included in the present invention. In other words, the present invention can be configured by appropriately combining the above-mentioned embodiment and the following embodiment.
