Description

This invention relates to a vertical movement device provided in an item acquisition game device capable of acquiring items stored inside an item storage section, and which moves the item acquisition device in the vertical direction based on the player's operation. Conventionally, there are known item acquisition game devices in which an item acquisition device is moved vertically based on the player's input to acquire items stored inside an item storage compartment. In such an item acquisition game device, for example, Patent Document 1 shows a descent stop device that includes a swingable swing arm, a lift-down sensor dog provided on the swing arm, a tension pulley rotatably supported on the swing arm, a coil spring that biases the swing arm in the direction of lifting the prize acquisition unit by pressing the tension pulley against the wire that lifts the prize acquisition unit, and a lift-down sensor that detects whether the lift-down sensor dog is in an up or down position. This device detects when the prize acquisition unit has bottomed out and the wire has loosened. Patent No. 6307721 This diagram illustrates a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention.This is a diagram illustrating the main body of a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention.This is a side view illustrating the displacement section of a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention.This is a side view illustrating the displacement section of a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention.This is a side view illustrating the displacement section of a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention.This is a cross-sectional view of an expandable member in one embodiment of the present invention.This is a cross-sectional view of an expandable member in one embodiment of the present invention. The present invention will be described in more detail below using preferred embodiments. However, the embodiments described below are merely examples of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited thereto. [Configuration of the vertical movement device] The configuration of the vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention will be described. Figure 1 illustrates a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention. The item acquisition game device equipped with the vertical movement device 1 comprises a base (not shown) installed on the floor, an item storage section (not shown) placed on the base and containing items (prizes, etc.), a movement device (not shown) provided above the item storage section, a vertical movement device 1 attached to the movement device and moving the item acquisition device 100 capable of acquiring items in the vertical direction, and a control unit 50 that controls the operation of the movement device, the vertical movement device 1, and the item acquisition device 100. The item acquisition game device (not shown) operates, for example, based on the player's operation of an operating unit such as a switch on the base. A moving device (not shown) located above the item storage section moves the vertical movement device 1 horizontally and in the front and rear directions, then moves the vertical movement device 1 downwards. The item placed on the vertical movement device 1 is then grasped by a pair of arms 110 of the item acquisition device 100. After moving the item onto a drop-off opening on the base, the pair of arms 110 are opened, causing the item to fall into the drop-off opening and thus discharged to the outside. This allows the player to acquire the item placed in the item storage section. The vertical movement device 1 is provided within the item storage section (not shown) of such an item acquisition game device (not shown), and is connected to a movement device (not shown) provided at the upper part of the item storage section. It comprises a main body 10 attached to the movement device, and an expandable/contractable member 20 whose upper end is connected to the main body 10 and whose lower end is connected to the item acquisition device 100. The telescopic member 20 expands and contracts in the vertical direction due to the feeding or winding of a wire 5 (for example, a wire, etc., which is flexible and has a linear shape that can be wound onto a pulley, etc.) by the main body 10. The main body 10 is connected to a moving device (not shown) and, under the control of the control unit 50, feeds out or winds up the wire 5. The main body 10 comprises a drive unit 11, a wire extension direction changing unit 12, a displacement unit 13, a detection unit 14, and an adjustment unit 15, all mounted on the base 10a that forms the main body 10. Figure 2 is a diagram illustrating the main body of a vertical movement device in one embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 is a view of the main body 10 with the lid and part of the side cover
