Power is supplied. In addition, the detailed description regarding the power generation device 400, the frame control device 300, the prize ball payout device 60, and the launching device 301 is omitted.

  The main control device 100 can be broadly divided to monitor input signals from the start winning port sensor 101, the general winning port sensor 102, the large winning port sensor 103, and the gate sensor 104, and whether or not the hit ball has won each winning port. A winning determination means 110 for determining whether or not the hit ball has passed through the gate, and a special control that controls the fluctuation of the special symbol based on the determination that the hit ball has won the start winning opening sensor 101 by the winning determination means 110. The symbol variation control means 120, the special game execution means 130 for executing a special game advantageous to the player based on the special symbol being stopped in a predetermined manner, and the winning determination means 110 determine that the hit ball has passed the gate sensor 104.

A command for operating the ordinary electric accessory (electric tulip) to create a slightly advantageous state for the player and a command for transmitting the control contents of the main controller 100 to the sub controller 200 as a command. Sending means 160, prize ball command transmission / reception means 170 for sending control contents such as prize ball number information and firing permission information as commands to the frame control apparatus 300 and receiving control information from the frame control apparatus 300, game information (hit information) And game information output means 180 for outputting the winning information of the start winning opening) to the external information terminal board 107. The prize ball command transmission / reception means 170 and the game information output means 180 are configured in the same manner as in the prior art, and will not be described in detail.

  The special symbol variation control means 120 performs control related to the determination of the variation time (variation mode) of the special symbol according to the determined special symbol, the special symbol determination unit 121 that performs control related to the determination of the special symbol stop mode. Special symbol variation time (mode) determining means 122 and special symbol variation time monitoring means 123 for managing the time from the start of variation of the special symbol to the end of variation.

  First, the special symbol determining means 121 will be described in detail. The special symbol determining means 121 includes a winning random number generating means 121a for generating a winning random number for determining whether or not the special symbol is a jackpot symbol, and a gaming state for checking the gaming state at the start of the variation of the special symbol. The determination means 121b, the winning random number acquisition means 121c for acquiring a winning random number based on the hitting of the hit ball at the starting winning opening 29, and the value of the winning random number (winning value) for determining the special symbol as a jackpot according to the gaming state. The stored winning determination table 121d has a winning symbol determination means 121e for determining which of the plurality of jackpot symbols to be used when the special symbol is determined to be a jackpot pattern.

  The winning random number generation means 121a is constituted by a random number generation circuit built in the CPU which is the center of the main controller 100, and values from 0 to 65535 are substantially synchronized with a reference clock of the CPU or an external clock. It is configured to change randomly (for example, 500 → 60504 → 32527 → 2 →...). Note that a hardware counter combined with a software counter, a logic counter, or the like that increments using software interrupt processing or processing wait may be used.

  The gaming state determination means 121b is a normal gaming state in which the probability that a special symbol will be a big win mode as a gaming state at the start of symbol variation is a normal gaming state in which a special probability (for example, 1/399) is drawn, or a special symbol is a big hit mode. It is determined whether the game state is a probability variation gaming state in which a probability of becoming a lottery (for example, 1/40) is drawn. Here, in this embodiment, the special symbol is shifted to the probability variation gaming state based on the end of the special game generated by stopping in the specific jackpot mode, and continues until the special symbol becomes the jackpot mode again. It is configured. Note that the probability variation gaming state may be terminated based on a special symbol variation that has been performed a predetermined number of times, and whether or not to continue the probability variation gaming state is determined appropriately for each special symbol variation game. It may be determined by (for example, a lottery based on falling (normal return) lottery random numbers or winning random numbers). Incidentally, the fall (normal return) lottery based on the random number for fall (normal return) lottery is performed before the selection of the hit determination table 121d related to the symbol variation, and the determination table related to the symbol variation is selected based on the result. It is desirable that the above-described configuration be configured, and thereby, the falling lottery can be reliably performed from the first symbol variation. Further, the probability variation gaming state may be shifted according to the determination result by another lottery or the like without being shifted due to the special symbol jackpot mode, or set so that the special game is continuously executed a predetermined number of times. These may be combined as appropriate.

  First, the winning random number acquisition means 121c directly inputs the input signal from the start winning port sensor 101 to a random number generation circuit (not shown) built in the CPU via the filter circuit. By latching one of the values (winning random number value) from 0 to 65535 generated by the winning random number generation means 121a at the timing when the start winning port sensor 101 detects the game ball, and storing it in a dedicated register, The winning random number is temporarily acquired at the timing of hitting the starting ball 29.

  Second, when the special symbol variation control means 120 determines that the software winning determination means 110 has determined that the start winning opening 29 has been won, and that the special symbol random number can be acquired. The winning random number value temporarily acquired is taken in. Here, in the present embodiment, if the symbol variation cannot be performed immediately when the hit ball is won at the start winning opening 29, for example, during the variation of the special symbol, the symbol variation is suspended up to a predetermined number (4). It is determined that it is impossible to obtain a special symbol random number when the symbol fluctuation holding means is provided and the symbol fluctuation holding means has already held a symbol upper limit of a predetermined upper limit. If the number has not been reached, it is determined that a special symbol random number can be acquired.

  In addition, the value (winning random number value) generated by the winning random number generation means 121a is acquired based on the determination result of the winning determination means 110 without directly inputting the input signal from the start winning opening sensor 101 to the random number generation circuit. May be. This is also applicable when the above-described software counter or hardware counter is employed.

  The winning determination table 121d stores a winning value corresponding to the gaming state in the ROM. In the normal gaming state, “1 to 163” is set as the winning value, and in the probability varying gaming state, “1 to 1630”. Is set. As a result, in the normal gaming state, the special symbol becomes a big hit with a probability of “163/65536”, that is, “1/399”, and in the probability varying gaming state, it has a probability of “1630/65536”, that is, “1/40”. Special design is a big hit. In addition, it is desirable that the winning value in the probability variation gaming state is configured to include all the winning values in the normal gaming state as in the present embodiment, so that the random value acquired in the normal gaming state is the winning value. In this case, even if the game is shifted to the probability variation gaming state, it is always a big hit, and it is possible to accurately realize the execution of the production that grasps the winning value in advance. In addition, the winning value may be set in a range as in the present embodiment to facilitate the determination program, or it may be set individually and aiming that occurs when a simple +1 or -1 counter is adopted. May be prevented.

  The winning symbol determining means 121e determines which winning symbol is to be stopped when it is determined that the special symbol becomes a big hit mode based on the winning symbol determining random number updated asynchronously with the winning random number generating means 121a. Based on the fact that the winning determination means 110 determines that the winning winning opening 29 has been won, a value generated by the winning symbol determination random number (winning symbol random number value) is acquired, and the special symbol becomes a big hit mode. Is determined, the winning symbol to be stopped and displayed is determined by the acquired winning symbol random number value and the winning symbol determination table stored in the ROM. The winning symbol determination random number employs a software counter that increments by one for each software interrupt process, and the random number range is set to 1 to 3000. In addition, the winning symbol determination table has numbers “0”, “1”... “9” as the winning symbols, such as “1 to 300”, “301 to 600”, “2701 to 3000”, respectively. It is distributed. Of course, the display probabilities may be set so as to be biased evenly.

  As described above, the special symbol determination means 121 acquires the winning random number, and stops the symbol that becomes the big hit mode as a special symbol by comparing the acquired winning random number and the hit determination table 121d, or stops the symbol that becomes the off mode In the case of a big hit mode, the hit symbol determining means 121e determines which jackpot type to use. In the present embodiment, when it is determined to stop the symbol that is in the off mode, “−” is determined as the stop symbol as the loss symbol. Of course, there may be a plurality of missing symbols, and it may be determined by lottery.

  Next, the special symbol variation time (mode) determining means 122 will be described in detail. The special symbol variation time (mode) determination unit 122 includes a variation pattern determination random number generation unit 122a for generating a variation pattern determination random number for determining a variation time from the variation start to the symbol stop, and a ball hitting the start winning opening 29. Fluctuation pattern determination random number acquisition means 122b for acquiring a variation pattern determination random number based on the winning of the game, the variation pattern (variation time) determined according to the gaming state and the number of pending, and the acquired variation pattern random value And a variation pattern determination table 122c attached.

  The variation pattern determination random number generation means 122a is configured by a software counter that increments by 1 using software interrupt processing, and is configured to be able to extract a value in the range of 0 to 49999. It is desirable that the variation pattern determining random number generating means 122a has different value change timings so as not to synchronize with the winning random number generating means 121a or the winning symbol determined random number. When the two random number generating means are configured by software counters It is also desirable for the ranges to be relatively prime so that both random values are hardly acquired synchronously even if they change at a common timing.

  The variation pattern determination random number acquisition unit 122b acquires the value (variation pattern random number value) generated by the variation pattern determination random number generation unit 122a based on the determination that the winning determination unit 110 has won the start winning opening 29. .

  In the variation pattern determination table 122c, the correspondence between the variation pattern and the variation pattern random number value is stored in the ROM in accordance with the game state and the special symbol mode (whether or not the jackpot mode is set). Specifically, as shown in Table 1, the number of game states held by the symbol variation holding means, whether the probability variation gaming state or the normal gaming state, or whether the special symbol is a big hit mode or a shift mode Correspondingly stored. In addition, you may comprise so that the part which has a common range (For example, the case where hold | maintenance is 0 and 1 in the off mode in a normal gaming state and a 1) may use a common table. Further, as shown in Table 2, the production patterns selected at a common rate regardless of the number of holdings may be set as a common table, and only portions selected at different rates may be set according to the state. By doing so, an increase in data capacity due to the construction of the fluctuation pattern table can be suppressed. As shown in Tables 1 and 2, the variation pattern number corresponds to the variation time. For example, the variation pattern 1 has a variation time of 12 seconds, the variation pattern 2 has a variation time of 15 seconds, and so on. In the pattern n, the variation time is set to 120 seconds. In addition, for convenience when sending a command, which will be described later, a different variation pattern number is provided in spite of the same variation time in the case where the special symbol is in the big hit mode and in the case of the off mode. It is configured to be able to determine whether or not.

  As described above, the special symbol variation time (mode) determining means 122 acquires the variation pattern determination random number, and determines the variation time (variation mode) of the special symbol by comparing the acquired variation pattern random number with the variation pattern table. . In this embodiment, the variation pattern determination random number is acquired based on the winning timing at the start winning opening 29, and the variation pattern determination itself (comparison processing with the variation pattern table) is the variation start of the special symbol. It is done just before. This is set in consideration that the gaming state at the time of winning the start winning opening 29 is not necessarily the same as the gaming state at the time of starting the change. In addition, since the acquisition timing of the variation pattern determination random number is set as the winning timing for the start winning opening 29, it is possible to prevent the acquisition timing from being uniform when continuously changing.

  The special symbol variation time monitoring unit 123 monitors the variation time of the special symbol according to the variation pattern determined by the special symbol variation time (mode) determination unit 122 using a timer function by software. The special symbol variation time monitoring means 123 sets the variation time of the variation pattern in the timer at the start of variation of the special symbol. Then, when the timer reaches zero, it is determined that the variation time of the special symbol corresponding to the variation pattern has ended.

The special symbol variation control means 120 terminates the special symbol variation when the special symbol variation time monitoring unit 123 determines that the special symbol variation end timing is reached, and the special symbol variation control unit 120 terminates the special symbol variation determination unit 121. The symbol is displayed on the special symbol display device. Further, during the change of the special symbol, “−” and “7” which are misaligned display modes in a very short time (about 500 ms) shorter than the time (1000 ms) during which the stop display is performed when the stop is confirmed so that the fact is visible. "Is repeatedly displayed. In this display during change, when switching to the big hit mode, “−” is displayed about 500 ms before the change end time of the change pattern, and “7” is displayed when the change mode is set to be off. You may provide the display pattern adjustment means to adjust time.

  Next, the special game execution means 130 will be described. The special game executing means 130 is for executing a special game based on the special symbol having become a big hit by the special symbol variation control means 120 described above. In the present embodiment, as a special game, a unit game is executed a plurality of times to drive and control the big prize opening solenoid 105 to release the big prize opening 31 until a predetermined time or a predetermined number of prizes are won. Here, the predetermined number of winnings is determined by the winning determination means 110 based on the signal from the big winning opening sensor 103, and is counted and managed by the special game executing means 130. In the present embodiment, the number of executions of the unit game is set according to the special symbol jackpot mode, and in the case of an odd number “1.3.7.9”, 15 times, “0. In the case of an even number of “2.4.6.8”, it is set to 8 times. The number of times of execution may be set regardless of the symbol, or the number of times of execution may be set according to different conditions (for example, lottery means for lottering the number of unit game executions) different from the special symbol jackpot mode.

  Next, the normal symbol variation control means 140 will be described. The normal symbol fluctuation control means 140 includes a normal symbol determining means 141 for determining a normal symbol stop mode, and a normal symbol change time for performing control related to determination of a normal symbol change time according to the determined normal symbol stop mode. Monitoring means 142 is provided.

  The normal symbol determining means 141 includes a normal symbol winning random number generating means 141b for generating a normal symbol winning random number for determining whether or not the normal symbol is a jackpot symbol, and a game state at the time of starting the variation of the normal symbol. The game state determining means 141a for confirming and the normal symbol winning random number acquiring means 141c for acquiring the normal symbol winning random number based on the fact that the hit ball has passed through the gate sensor 104 are included.

  The normal symbol determining means 140 has a technical idea substantially equivalent to the contents described in the special symbol determining means 121, and is a configuration for determining a normal symbol instead of determining a special symbol. In the present embodiment, the symbol that is displayed when the normal symbol is determined to be the hit mode is “7”, and the symbol that is displayed when the normal symbol is determined to be the off mode is “−”. Therefore, no means related to the process of determining the type of symbol for the normal symbol is installed. Needless to say, these functions can be configured in the same manner as the special symbol process without omitting these functions.

  The normal symbol variation time determining means determines whether to perform the variation of the normal symbol by the first variation time or the variation of the normal symbol by the second variation time shorter than the first variation time according to the gaming state. Is. The normal symbol variation time determination process by the normal symbol variation time determination means has a simpler configuration than the special symbol variation control means 120. Specifically, the normal symbol variation determining means 140 determines the normal symbol variation time according to the normal gaming state, the special gaming state, or the probability varying gaming state. In addition, the variation time is not changed depending on whether the normal symbol is a hit mode or a shift mode. It should be noted that, similarly to the special symbol variation time (mode) determination means 122, the variation time may be finely selected by random number lottery.

  The normal symbol variation time monitoring unit 142 monitors the variation time of the normal symbol determined by the normal symbol variation time (mode) determination unit 122 using a timer function by software. The normal symbol fluctuation time monitoring unit 142 sets the fluctuation time of the fluctuation in the timer at the start of the fluctuation of the normal symbol. Then, when the timer reaches zero, it is determined that the variation time of the normal symbol corresponding to the variation pattern has ended.

  The normal symbol fluctuation control means 140 terminates the normal symbol fluctuation when the normal symbol fluctuation time monitoring means 142 determines that the normal symbol fluctuation end timing is reached, and the normal symbol change means 141 determines the normal symbol fluctuation means 140 The symbol is displayed on the normal symbol display device. Similarly to the special symbol, the normal symbol is repeatedly displayed as “−” and “7” which are misalignment display modes in a very short time (about 500 ms) so that the fact can be visually recognized. In the display during fluctuation, the switching time is adjusted so that “-” is displayed about 500 ms before the fluctuation end time in the case of hitting, and “7” is displayed in the case of falling off. Ordinary symbol display pattern adjusting means may be provided.

  Next, the ordinary electric accessory operation control means 150 will be described. The normal electric accessory operation control means 150 executes the opening operation of the normal electric accessory (electric tulip 29) based on the normal symbol having been hit by the normal symbol fluctuation control means 140 described above. In the present embodiment, the ordinary electric accessory solenoid 106 is driven and controlled so that the ordinary electric accessory (electric tulip 29) is released for a predetermined time or until a predetermined number of prizes are won. Here, the predetermined number of winnings is determined by the winning determination means 110 based on the signal from the start winning opening sensor 101, and is counted and managed by the ordinary electric accessory actuating control means 150.

  In this embodiment, the release time is changed depending on the game state. When the game state at the time of normal symbol fluctuation stop is the probability fluctuation game state, the release time is 5 seconds, and the normal game state In the case of, the opening time is set to 0.5 seconds. In addition, when the so-called open extended game state is adopted and the special game is set to be given an open extended game until the special symbol is changed a predetermined number of times when the game does not shift to the probability variation game state after the end of the special game, the release is performed. During the extended game, the same opening time as the probability-variable game state, which is 5 seconds, may be set.

  As described above, the game according to the winning of the hit ball in the game area, etc. by the winning determination means 110, the special symbol variation control means 120, the special game execution means 130, the normal symbol variation control means 140, and the ordinary electric actor operation control means 150. However, in order to produce effects related to these controls, information related to control in the main control device 100 is transmitted to the sub-control device 200 via the command transmission means 160. The command transmission unit 160 includes a variation pattern command transmission unit 161 and a gaming state command transmission unit 162.

  Fluctuation pattern command transmission means 161 is a game state at the start of the change of the special symbol, the stop state of the special symbol (whether it is a big hit mode, if it is a big hit mode, whether it is a special jackpot mode to shift to the probability variable game state after the special game It is a normal jackpot mode for shifting to the normal gaming state), and information that changes the special symbol variation pattern information into a command system is generated and transmitted to the sub-control device 200.

  Specifically, parallel communication using an 8-bit data signal line and a 1-bit strobe signal line is adopted, and these pieces of information are transmitted by a 2-byte command. Note that the command form has a configuration in which the first byte is mode information indicating the command outline, and the second byte is event information indicating the command details, and the variation pattern transmitted by the variation pattern command transmission means according to the type of mode information. It is set so that it can be seen whether it is information or a gaming state command transmitted by the gaming state command transmission means 162.

  The gaming state command transmission means 162 is a command similar to the variation pattern command transmission means 161 for information on the number of holds held in the symbol variation holding means as a gaming state, information on whether the game is a big hit, progress information of special games, etc. Systematically generated and transmitted to the sub-control device.

  Next, the sub-control device 200 that controls the liquid crystal display device 11, the movable accessory unit 600, and the like according to a command transmitted from the main control device 100 will be described. The sub-control device 200 receives a command transmitted from the main control device 100, a command receiving unit 210, and a command analyzing unit 220 that analyzes the contents of the command received by the command receiving unit 210 and determines what control is executed. According to the progress of the game, the movable accessory control means 240 for driving and controlling the movable accessory unit 600, the lamp control means 260 for controlling the light emission of the LED (light emission source) of the center decoration unit 7 and other illumination members, and the speaker. A voice control means 250 for generating voice is provided. Detailed descriptions of the voice control unit 250 and the lamp control unit 260 are omitted.

  The command receiving means 210 is configured such that, among the command signal lines, a strobe signal is input to the interrupt terminal of the sub-control CPU, and when the strobe signal is input, the command receiving means 210 performs command processing by interrupt processing performed in response to this signal. It is configured to read the contents of the signal line.

  Note that if the strobe signal is input to the NMI (highest priority interrupt) terminal of the sub control CPU, the command information can be reliably received. If the input port can be confirmed in a short interrupt cycle, the strobe signal may be input to the input port of the sub control CPU, and the content of the command signal line may be confirmed based on the content of the input port.

  The command analysis means 220 compares the command code stored in advance in the ROM of the sub-control device 200 with the command correspondence table indicating the contents of the code to determine what kind of contents the command input by the command reception means 210 has. It is a thing to analyze. If the received command does not correspond to the command correspondence table, it is processed as a command error.

  Next, the movable accessory drive control means 240 will be described. The movable accessory drive control means 240 is a stepping motor 710 of the movable accessory unit 600 provided in the game board unit 5 based on the drive timing of the movable accessory unit 600 analyzed by the command analysis means 220 and the effects during the special game. , While identifying the position of the movable accessory unit 600 based on the first position detector 761 and the second position detector 762 incorporated in the drive mechanism 700 and the number of steps of the stepping motor 710 for driving the movable accessory unit 600. The movable accessory unit 600 is driven and controlled.

  The movable accessory drive control means 240 includes a first reference position calculation means 240a, a first gear reference position stop means 240b, a first gear position information storage means 240c, a second reference position calculation means 240d, and a second sub detection piece position calculation. Means 240e and second gear position information storage means 240f are provided.

  The first reference position calculation means 240a detects the position of the first reference detection piece 723 based on the detection signal from the first position detector 761 by rotating the first gear 720 one or more times in a predetermined direction. A process of calculating the center position of the length in the rotation direction of the first reference detection piece 723 as the first reference position of the first gear 720 is performed. The first gear reference position stop unit 240b performs a process of stopping the first gear 720 at the first reference position calculated by the first reference position calculation unit 240a. The first gear position information storage unit 240c stores the position information of the first reference position calculated by the first gear position information storage unit 240c, and the position information of the position separated from the first reference position by 180 degrees in the rotation direction. Is stored in a predetermined storage area set in the RAM as position information on the second reference position of the first gear.

  The second reference position calculation unit 240d rotates the second gear 730 by one or more rotations according to the rotation of the first gear 720, and thereby the second reference detection piece 733 is detected based on the detection signal from the second position detector 762. A process of detecting the position and calculating the center position of the rotation direction length of the second reference detection piece 733 as the reference position of the second gear 730 is performed. The second sub detection piece position calculating means 240e performs a process of calculating the positions of the two second sub detection pieces 734a and 734b based on the reference position information of the second gear 730. The second gear position information storage unit 240f includes the second gear reference position information calculated by the second reference position calculation unit 240d and the second sub detection piece position information calculated by the second sub detection piece position calculation unit 240e. Is stored in a predetermined storage area set in the RAM.

  The movable accessory drive control means 240 is based on the position information of the first gear 240 stored in the first gear position information storage means 240c and the position information of the second gear 730 stored in the second gear position information storage means 240f. Thus, the drive mechanism 700 is controlled so that one of the six display surfaces 633 formed on the outer periphery of the rotating body 630 is viewed from the front.

  The abnormality determination unit 230 determines whether or not the first gear 720 and the second gear 730, which are rotationally driven by the movable accessory drive control unit 240, have moved to their intended positions, and a drive pulse supplied to the stepping motor 710. A determination process is performed based on the number and detection signals of the first position detector 761 and the second position detector 762. When the abnormality determination unit 230 determines that the movement position of the first gear 720 is abnormal, the abnormality determination unit 230 rotates the first gear 720 and stops at a preset initial position (first reference position). An initial position stop means 230a for performing the process is provided.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the operation control of the movable accessory unit 600 according to the present embodiment will be described. FIG. 12 is a timing chart showing detection signals of the first position detector 761 and the second position detector 762, FIG. 12 (a) shows detection signals of the first position detector 761, and FIG. 12 (b). Indicates a detection signal of the second position detector 762. For example, the raw detection signal of the first position detector 761 becomes OFF (L level) when the first position detector 761 detects the first reference detection piece 723 of the first gear 720, and the first This signal is ON (H level) when the reference detection piece 723 is not detected. However, in the case of drive control, a signal obtained by inverting this raw detection signal is used. The signal is shown. FIG. 12 shows waveforms for about three rotations of the first gear 720 and about two rotations of the second gear 730.

  When other initialization processing is performed when the power is turned on, the first reference position calculation unit 240a rotates the first gear 720 one or more times in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise) to detect the detection signal of the first position detector 761. The position of the rising timing t1 is found, and the position information is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM by the first gear position information storage means 240c. In the present embodiment, the step number s1 of the stepping motor 710 in which the first gear rotates once is set to 360 steps. In addition, since the number of steps s2 corresponding to the rotation direction length of the first reference detection piece 723 of the first gear 720 is set to 140 steps, the first position detector 761 does not detect the first reference detection piece 733. The rotation direction length s3 corresponds to 220 steps. Accordingly, the first quasi-position calculation means 240a is only 70 steps s4, which is half of s2, from the position of the rising timing t1 of the detection signal of the first position detector 761 stored in the RAM by the first gear position information storage means 240c. The rotated position is calculated as the first reference position of the first gear 720 that is the center position of the first reference detection piece 723. The calculated first reference position information is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM by the first gear position information storage means 240c. Next, the first gear position information storage unit 240c performs a process of storing the position advanced 180 steps (s5 + s6) from the first reference position in the predetermined storage area of the RAM as the second reference position of the first gear 720. Next, a process of stopping the first gear at the first reference position is performed by the first gear reference position stopping means 240b. The second reference position may be stored as a position reversely rotated by 110 steps s7 corresponding to half of s3 from the detection rising position of the first reference detection piece 723.

  The second reference position calculation means 240d rotates the second gear 730 one or more rotations in a predetermined direction (for example, clockwise) according to the rotation of the first gear 720, and the rising timing t2 of the detection signal of the second position detector 762 And the position information is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM by the second gear position information storage means 240f. In the present embodiment, the step number s10 of the stepping motor 710 in which the second gear rotates once is set to 540 steps. Further, the step number s11 corresponding to the rotation direction length of the second reference detection piece 733 of the second gear 730 is set to 180 steps. Therefore, the second quasi-position calculating means 240d is only 90 steps s12 that is half of s10 from the position of the rising timing t2 of the detection signal of the second position detector 762 stored in the RAM by the second gear position information storage means 240f. The rotated position is calculated as the reference position of the second gear 730 that is the center position of the second reference detection piece 733. The calculated reference position information is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM by the second gear position information storage means 240f.

  In this embodiment, the length s14 in the rotation direction between the second reference detection piece 733 and the second sub detection piece 734a first detected in the rotation direction by the second position detector 762 (s22 at the time of reverse rotation) is 66 steps. The lengths s15 and s19 in the rotation direction of one second sub detection piece 734a and 734b are configured to correspond to 48 steps. Therefore, the rotation direction length s18 between the adjacent second sub detection pieces 734a and 734b corresponds to 132 steps. The second sub detection piece calculating means 240e detects the rising timing t3 of the detection signal of the second position detector 762 detected first after detecting the falling timing t′2 of the detection signal of the second reference detection piece 733. The second sub detection piece 734a is determined as a detection signal, and the position of the rising timing t3 is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM by the second gear position information storage unit 240f. The second gear position information storage means 240f is a predetermined storage in the RAM with the position advanced 24 steps s16, which is a half of s15, from the position of the rising timing t3 stored in the RAM as a reference position of the first second sub detection piece 734a. Processing to be stored in the area is performed. Next, the second sub detection piece calculating means 240e detects the rise timing t′3 of the detection signal of the first second sub detection piece 734a, and then the rise of the detection signal of the second position detector 762 to be detected next. The timing t4 is determined as a detection signal of the second second sub detection piece 734b, and the position of the rising timing t4 is stored in a predetermined storage area of the RAM by the second gear position information storage means 240f. The second gear position information storage means 240f uses a position advanced from the position of the rising timing t4 stored in the RAM for 24 steps s20, which is half of s19, as a reference position for the second second sub-detection piece 734b. Processing to be stored in the storage area is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the movable accessory unit 600 according to the present embodiment is a position where the first reference position of the first gear 720 and the reference position of the second reference detection piece 733 of the second gear 730 coincide. When the rotation of the stepping motor 710 is stopped, the display surface 633a of the output 1 of the rotating body 630 is configured to be viewed from the front. Further, when the rotation of the stepping motor 710 is stopped at a position where the second reference position of the first gear 720 and the reference position of the second gear 730 coincide with each other, the display surface 633d of the output 4 of the rotating body 630 is viewed in front. It is configured as follows. The rotation of the stepping motor 710 is stopped at a position where the second reference position of the first gear 720 and the reference position of the first second sub detection piece 734a adjacent to the first reference detection piece 723 in the clockwise direction coincide with each other. Then, the display surface 633b of the output 2 of the rotator 630 is viewed from the front, and the second sub detection piece 734b detected second in the clockwise direction from the first reference position of the first gear 720 and the first gear 720. When the rotation of the stepping motor 710 is stopped at a position where the reference positions coincide with each other, the display surface 633c of the output 3 of the rotating body 630 is configured to be viewed from the front. The rotation of the stepping motor 710 is stopped at a position where the first reference position of the first gear 720 and the reference position of the first second sub detection piece 734a adjacent to the first reference detection piece 723 of the first gear 720 in the clockwise direction coincide with each other. Then, the display surface 633e of the output 5 of the rotator 630 is viewed from the front, and the second sub detection piece 734b detected second in the clockwise direction from the second reference position of the first gear 720 and the first gear 720. When the rotation of the stepping motor 710 is stopped at a position where the reference positions coincide with each other, the display surface 633f of the output 6 of the rotating body 630 is configured to be viewed from the front.

  13 to 19 are flowcharts for explaining stop control of the movable accessory unit 600 according to the present embodiment. FIG. 13 shows a procedure for discriminating the processing to be performed according to the output request, and FIG. 14 to FIG. 19 show the processing procedure for the requests 1 to 6.

  In FIG. 13, when a request for operating a movable combination is transmitted to the movable combination drive control means 240 of the sub-control device 200 (step S1), the CPU of the sub-control device 200 causes the movable combination unit 600 to operate. A process of determining whether or not the position is the initial position is performed (step S2). When the movable accessory unit 600 is stopped at the initial position, no operation is performed (step S3). When it is determined that the stop position of the movable accessory unit 600 is not the initial position, the process proceeds to step S4, and processing for determining whether or not the operation request is to cause the output 1 of the movable accessory unit 600 to be viewed from the front. Do.

  If the operation request is the outcome 1 in the determination process of step S4, the process proceeds to step S5, the position detection process of the outcome 1 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S16. If it is determined in step S4 that the operation request is not the outcome 1, the process proceeds to step S6, and it is determined whether or not the operation request is to cause the outcome 2 of the movable accessory unit 600 to be viewed from the front.

  When the operation request is the outcome 2 in the determination process of step S6, the process proceeds to step S7, the position detection process of the outcome 2 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S16. If it is determined in step S6 that the operation request is not the outcome 2, the process proceeds to step S8, and it is determined whether or not the operation request is for causing the outcome 3 of the movable accessory unit 600 to be viewed from the front.

  When the operation request is the outcome 3 in the determination process of step S8, the process proceeds to step S9, the position detection process of the outcome 3 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S16. If it is determined in step S8 that the operation request is not the outcome 3, the process proceeds to step S10, and it is determined whether or not the operation request is to cause the outcome 4 of the movable accessory unit 600 to be viewed in front.

  When the operation request is the outcome 4 in the determination process of step S10, the process proceeds to step S11, the position detection process of the outcome 4 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S16. If it is determined in step S10 that the operation request is not the outcome 4, the process proceeds to step S12, and it is determined whether or not the operation request is for causing the outcome 5 of the movable accessory unit 600 to be viewed from the front.

  When the operation request is the outcome 5 in the determination process of step S12, the process proceeds to step S13, the position detection process of the outcome 5 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S16. If it is determined in step S12 that the action request is not the outcome 5, the process proceeds to step S14, and a process is performed to determine whether or not the action request is to cause the outcome 6 of the movable accessory unit 600 to be viewed in front.

  When the operation request is the outcome 6 in the determination process of step S14, the process proceeds to step S15, the position detection process of the outcome 6 is performed, and the process proceeds to step S16. If the operation request is not the outcome 6 in the determination process of step S14, the process proceeds to step S17, and a process for causing the movable accessory unit 600 to perform other operations is performed. In step S16, the movable accessory drive control means 240 performs a common deceleration process for each requested outcome.
