Description

The present invention relates to a pachinko machine having a movable member on a game board, for example.

  2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, pachinko machines are known in which a movable member is provided on a game board and driven to increase the effect on decoration and performance. In recent years, in particular, as shown in Patent Document 1, for example, many movable members are provided with electrical components such as LEDs.

  By the way, in order to supply electric power to the electrical components provided in such a movable member, it is necessary to connect the power supply device and the movable member with a power feeding cable. In the case of a pachinko machine, the movable member is generally provided on the front side of the game board, while the power supply device is generally provided on the back side of the game board. Therefore, in order to connect the power supply device and the movable member, it is necessary to connect the power feeding cable connected to the power supply device from the back side to the front side of the game board and connect to the movable member. At the same time, the power supply cable is preferably connected to the back surface of the movable member in order to make it difficult for the player to see.

  However, a drive mechanism that drives the movable member is often provided on the back side of the movable member so that it is difficult for the player to see. Therefore, in a structure in which the power supply cable is simply inserted through the gap of the drive mechanism and connected to the back surface of the movable member, the power supply cable may be caught in the drive mechanism and damaged, or the drive of the movable member may be hindered. It was.

  Therefore, for example, as shown in Patent Document 2, an insertion hole extending along the moving direction of the movable member is provided, and the power supply cable is inserted and arranged through the insertion hole. It is general that the power supply cable is not caught in the drive mechanism by being provided separately and independently.

  However, it is obvious that it is not preferable to separately provide the wiring structure and the driving mechanism in the pachinko machine having a limited arrangement space. In particular, when the width of the power feeding cable is large, the width of the insertion hole must be increased accordingly, which further reduces the space efficiency. In addition, since there is a problem of complicating the design, it is not always an effective measure.

JP 2000-107377 A JP 2005-58257 A

  Here, the present invention has been made in the background as described above, and the problem to be solved is to prevent the feeding cable connected to the electric component of the movable member from being caught in the drive mechanism. On the other hand, it is an object of the present invention to provide a pachinko machine having a novel structure that can be easily arranged with excellent space efficiency.

  Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention made to solve the above-described problems will be described. In addition, the component employ | adopted in each aspect as described below is employable by arbitrary combinations as much as possible.

  That is, according to the present invention, in a pachinko machine having a movable member, a transmission pin that transmits a driving force of a driving source to the movable member and a power supply cable that supplies electric power to an electrical component provided on the movable member are passed through the substrate. While being inserted through the provided pin holes separately, a driving member for transmitting the driving force of the driving source to the movable member via the transmission pin is disposed on the opposite side to the movable member in the insertion direction of the transmission pin, The present invention is characterized in that a cable holding means for holding the power supply cable is provided on the opposite side of the movable member across the substrate so as to be displaced integrally with the transmission pin.

  If it does in this way, it will become unnecessary to provide the penetration hole for inserting a feeding cable separately from the pin hole of a movable member. As a result, excellent space efficiency can be obtained, the design can be facilitated, and the degree of design freedom can be improved. In particular, in the present invention, by providing the cable holding means for holding the power supply cable, it is possible to displace the power supply cable integrally with the power transmission pin, so that the power supply cable has a gap between the power transmission pin and the pin hole. Intrusion is prevented. Thus, the drive mechanism and the wiring structure can be provided at one place while effectively avoiding the problem of the entrainment of the power feeding cable caused by providing the drive mechanism and the wiring structure at one place.

  The transmission pin in the present invention may be formed integrally with the movable member, or may be formed separately from the movable member, for example, formed on the drive member side. The formation part of the cable holding means is not limited as long as it is a part that can be displaced integrally with the movable member. For example, it is formed on a transmission pin formed integrally with the movable member. Alternatively, it may be formed on the driving member.

  Further, the present invention allows the connecting portion between the drive member and the transmission pin to be oscillated and displaced along the pin hole, and uses a belt-shaped cable having a predetermined width as the power supply cable, while the curved through-hole has a belt-like shape. A mode in which the cable holding means is configured by the curved through-hole by inserting the cable can be suitably employed.

  In this way, since the through hole has a curved shape, even if the connecting portion is swung and displaced with respect to the pin hole, the portion of the through hole that overlaps with the pin hole is formed. The extending direction of the power supply cable can be kept substantially constant. Thereby, the possibility of bending the power supply cable inserted through the through hole can be reduced, and a belt-like cable having a predetermined width can be suitably employed.

  Hereinafter, in order to clarify the present invention more specifically, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

The through-hole 145 has a substantially arc shape with a substantially 1/4 circumference that protrudes upward. As a result, the through hole 145 has the same size as the insertion hole 144 over the entire swing range of the swing rod 120 in the width direction of the pin hole 86. Further, an opening / closing portion 146 that can be opened and closed is formed at the end of the through hole 145 in the extending direction of the swing rod 120, and the opening / closing portion 146 is opened to the outside to open the side of the through hole 145. While this is communicated with the outside of the fitting portion 143, it is normally maintained in the closed state by the elasticity of the fitting portion 143.

  Then, when the swing rod 120 is attached to the attachment plate portion 45, the rear end portion of the transmission shaft 56 projected rearward of the cover member 78 is inserted into the insertion hole 144. At the same time, the flat cable 54 is inserted into the through hole 145 by inserting the flat cable 54 from the opening / closing portion 146 in the through hole 145. Accordingly, the flat cable 54 is held by the fitting portion 143, and in this embodiment, the cable holding means is configured by the through hole 145.

  The swing rod 120 having such a structure is configured such that the contact portion 140 is brought into contact with the cam portion 136 of the fourth transmission gear 118d. Here, the cam portion 136 has a substantially semicircular shape, and the fourth transmission gear 118d is rotated (in the present embodiment, counterclockwise in FIG. 9), thereby contacting the cam portion 136. The contact state and the non-contact state of the portion 140 can be expressed alternately.

  Note that a curved surface 138 that slightly protrudes toward the non-forming portion of the cam portion 136 is formed on the non-circumferential portion that is brought into contact with the contact portion 140 in the rotation direction of the cam portion 136. When the portion 136 is brought into contact with the contact portion 140, the contact portion 140 is smoothly guided to the outer peripheral portion of the cam portion 136 by applying a downward component force to the contact portion 140.

Thereby, the decoration effect on an external appearance can be improved. Furthermore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to predict the moving direction of the dropping member 48, and when the dropping member 48 is dropped, the player can be given a great surprise.

  In addition, particularly in the present embodiment, since the swing member 50 is formed with a size that can cover the entire arc-shaped groove 94, the swing member 50 has an arc shape at the steady position. The entirety of the groove 94 can be made difficult for the player to visually recognize by the swing member 50. As a result, not only the decorative effect and the effect for the player can be further improved, but also the dropping member 48 and the swinging member 50 are fixedly provided to the center decoration 42 as a decorative member. By driving the dropping member 48 and the swinging member 50 that can be shown and look like a stationary decorative member, a greater surprise can be given to the player.

At the same time, due to the guide action of the drive shaft 128 and the shaft insertion hole 132 provided on the slide member 126, the swing plate 96 is rotated about the rotation shaft 98, and the support shaft 92 is formed in the arc-shaped groove 94. Along the display screen 34 side. Thereby, the swinging member 50 is positioned at the moving end position shown in FIG. At the moving end position, the swing member 50 is displaced toward the display screen 34 so that a part of the swing member 50 overlaps the display screen 34. In addition, the leg 148 of the doll 90 is fixed above the arc-shaped groove 94 on the front surface of the mounting plate 45, and the swinging member 50 is overlapped in a state where the swinging member 50 is in a steady position, so that it is difficult to see. On the other hand, the swinging member 50 is made to appear so as to be visible by being displaced to the moving end position.

  On the other hand, in the fourth transmission gear 118d, the contact state between the cam portion 136 and the contact portion 140 is released when the swinging member 50 is displaced toward the display screen 34 and deviates from the vertically lower side of the dropping member 48. It has become so. Then, the contact state between the cam portion 136 and the contact portion 140 is released, and the downward displacement of the fitting portion 143 is allowed, so that the dropping member 48 has both the leg portions 58, 60 in the upper and lower leg grooves. It is guided by 66 and 68 and falls by its own weight vertically downward along the pin hole 86.

  In this way, the dropping member 48 dropped by its own weight has the upper leg portions 58a and 58b and the lower leg portions 60a and 60b before being locked to the lower end edges of the upper and lower leg grooves 66 and 68. It is made to contact | abut to the buffer member 104 arrange | positioned below. Then, the buffer member 104 is displaced downward, and the coil spring 112 is compressed. Thus, the downward force of the dropping member 48 is limited by the urging force of the coil spring 112 so that the dropping member 48 and the buffer member 104 are moved to the moving end position shown in FIG. ing. Further, the buffer member 104 can be moved by the dropping member 48 falling by its own weight, and the buffer member 104 can be realized as a movable member with a simple configuration.

  As described above, the swinging member 50 positioned at the steady position is overlaid on the lower portion of the pin hole 86. The entire pin hole 86 is made to appear by displacing the oscillating member 50 to the displacement position, and the dropping member 48 is in the region formed by displacing the oscillating member 50. It can be displaced to. Thereby, it is possible to advantageously secure the drive region of the dropping member 48 and arrange the dropping member 48 and the swinging member 50 with excellent space efficiency.

  When the electric motor 116 is further rotated after the dropping member 48 and the swinging member 50 are displaced to the moving end position, the cam portion 136 and the contact portion 140 are contacted again, and the contact portion. The fitting portion 143 is displaced upward by guiding the 140 downward. As a result, the upward driving force of the fitting portion 143 is exerted on the dropping member 48 via the transmission shaft 56, and the dropping member 48 is returned to the steady position.

  At the same time, when the first transmission gear 118a is further rotated, the slide member 126 is positioned at the upper moving end and then displaced downward. As a result, the swing plate 96 is rotated to the outside of the mounting plate portion 45 along the arcuate groove 94, and the swing member 50 is returned to the steady position.

  Here, in this embodiment, the flat cable 54 is inserted into the through hole 145, so that the flat cable 54 is guided in accordance with the displacement of the transmission shaft 56. Thereby, for example, even when the transmission shaft 56 is displaced upward, the flat cable 54 is displaced together with a certain distance from the transmission shaft 56, so that the flat cable 54 and the pin hole 86 are displaced. Can be effectively prevented from being sandwiched between the two. Further, particularly in the present embodiment, since the through hole 145 has a curved shape, the extending direction of the portion overlapping the pin hole 86 can be brought close to the spreading direction of the flat cable 54, and the flat cable 54 The risk of bending is also reduced.

  In the present embodiment, the through hole 145 constituting the cable holding means is formed integrally with the swing rod 120, and the flat cable 54 is inserted and arranged using the pin hole 86. This eliminates the need to provide an insertion hole for inserting the power supply cable and a guide mechanism for guiding the power supply cable separately from the drive mechanism of the dropping member 48, and drives the power supply cable with excellent space efficiency and a simple configuration. It can be disposed while effectively preventing the mechanism from being caught. In particular, when a groove for a flat cable having a predetermined width as in the present embodiment is formed separately, the groove width for the power feeding cable also increases, which may lead to inefficiency in space efficiency. However, according to the present invention, it is not necessary to separately form a trench for wiring, so that more excellent space efficiency can be effectively exhibited.

  As mentioned above, although one Embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this is an illustration to the last, Comprising: This invention is not limited at all by the specific description in this Embodiment.

  For example, the specific structure of the movable member described above is merely an example, and it may be driven using a rack and pinion mechanism as schematically shown in FIGS. In the following description, the vertical direction refers to the vertical direction in FIG. 11, and the front-rear direction refers to the horizontal direction in FIG. Moreover, the front means the left direction in FIG.

  In this aspect, in substantially the same manner as in the above-described embodiment, the transmission shaft 162 as a transmission pin integrally protruded rearward of the movable member 160 has a pin hole extending in the longitudinal direction and penetrating the mounting plate portion 45. 164 is inserted. In this embodiment, a rack 166 as a driving member extending in substantially the same direction as the pin hole 164 is integrally provided with respect to the projecting portion of the transmission shaft 162 from the pin hole 164. On the other hand, a pinion gear 168 that is rotated by an electric motor (not shown) is meshed.

  A hook 170 as a cable holding means is integrally formed at the rear end of the transmission shaft 162. The hook 170 has a hook shape that extends upward from the transmission shaft 162 and then is folded back toward the transmission shaft 162, and a slight gap is formed between the folded end portion and the transmission shaft 162.

  Further, a linear cable 172 as a power feeding cable is connected to the rear surface of the movable member 160, and extends from the upper end portion of the pin hole 164 and the transmission shaft 162 to the rear of the mounting plate portion 45 through the pin hole 164. Has been. Then, a rearward extension portion of the linear cable 172 from the attachment plate portion 45 is passed through the hook 170 and is locked by the hook 170.

  In this way, since the linear cable 172 is displaced together with the transmission shaft 162, when the pinion gear 168 is rotated and the movable member 160 is driven upward, the linear cable 172 is transferred to the transmission shaft. By displacing upward together with 162, it is possible to effectively prevent the linear cable 172 from entering the gap between the transmission shaft 162 and the pin hole 164.

  Thus, in this aspect, the cable holding means is constituted by the hook 170. As is apparent from this, the cable holding means can be provided on the transmission pin side. In the above-described embodiment, a belt-like flat cable is used as the power supply cable. However, as is apparent from this aspect, as a power supply cable, of course, a generally used linear cable is also used. It can be adopted.

  Further, although the pin hole is formed in a linear shape in any of the above-described embodiments and aspects, the extending direction and specific shape of the pin hole are not limited in any way. The direction may be not only the vertical direction but also the horizontal direction or the oblique direction, and the shape may be not only a linear shape but also a curved shape.

  Furthermore, in the above-described embodiment, since the flat cable 54 is disposed above the transmission shaft 56, the through hole 145 is formed above the fitting portion 143. It is of course possible to form it below the portion 143. For example, a flat cable is disposed below the transmission shaft 56, and substantially the same as the through hole 145 in the above embodiment below the fitting portion 143. A curved through hole that protrudes downward may be formed so that the flat cable 54 extends from below the transmission shaft 56. In this case, since the dropping member 48 is quickly dropped downward due to its own weight, there is a higher risk of the power feeding cable being caught. Even if the power supply cable is provided in the drive mechanism that moves, the power supply cable can be effectively prevented from being caught.

  Moreover, as an electrical component provided in a movable member, it is not limited to the above-mentioned LED. For example, a speaker may be provided as another electrical component, or a second movable member may be further provided on the movable member, and an electric motor for driving the second movable member may be provided on the movable member. Also good.

  In addition, although not enumerated one by one, the present invention can be carried out in a mode to which various changes, modifications, improvements, and the like are added based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art. It goes without saying that all are included in the scope of the present invention without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
