Abstract

<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine which enables the reporting of the opening of a door to a specified device even when a power source of the game machine is kept off. <P>SOLUTION: A terminal plate output circuit 300a for the inner frame can get one end of a capacitor CD7 grounded with a switch SW3-3 when the inner frame 12 is closed. As a result with the inner frame 12 closed, the electric charge already accumulated in the capacitor CD7 when the inner frame 12 is kept open is discharged instantaneously through the switch SW3-3 to be down to zero. In this manner, the electric charge normally accumulated in the capacitor CD7 always stays down to zero until the inner frame 12 is reopened and so, even when the inner frame 12 is opened in succession more than once for a short period of time, an integration circuit 281 operates normally. This can keep the period of a voltage fall to be applied to the TRG terminal of a timer IC1 constant (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT

Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a pachinko machine, a spinning machine (for example, a slot machine), or a spinning machine using a game ball.

  Next, the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 7 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261. In FIG. 7, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is described first, and then the external output terminal plate 261 is described.

  A frame opening detection circuit 260 that detects opening of the inner frame 12 or opening of the front frame 14 includes a DC power source DC1 that supplies a DC voltage of 12 volts, a diode D1, capacitors CD1 to CD5, resistors R1 to R4, It mainly includes a timer IC1 (LMC555 manufactured by National Semiconductor) that is a C-MOS timer and a transistor TR1 provided with an internal resistor R5 and an internal resistor R6.

  In order to detect the opening of the inner frame 12 when the switch SW1 is turned on and to detect the opening of the front frame 14 when the switch SW2 is turned on, the frame opening detection circuit 260 has the above components shown in FIG. Connected according to block diagram. Since the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are connected in parallel and connected to the frame opening detection circuit 260, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is connected to the inner frame 12 or the front frame if either switch is turned on. 14 can be detected.

  The DC power source DC1 is a power source that supplies a DC voltage of 12 volts to the open frame detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal board 261. Power (power) to the DC power supply DC1 is supplied from a power supply unit 251 provided in the power supply device 115 through a power supply path (not shown). This DC power supply DC1 is connected to the anode terminal of the diode D1. One end of a 0.1F (farad) capacitor CD1 is connected to the cathode terminal of the diode D1. The other end of the capacitor CD1 is grounded. One end of the capacitor CD1 is connected to one end of the switch SW1, one end of the switch SW2, and the VDD terminal and the RES terminal of the timer IC1.

  The capacitor CD1 is a charge that supplies a DC voltage to the frame open detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261 when the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. It is a part that demonstrates the function of the battery.

  This is because when the capacitor CD1 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine 10 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the capacitor CD1 has a capacitance of 0.1 F (farad) and the capacitor CD1. Charges obtained by the product of the applied DC voltage (about 11.3 volts obtained by subtracting about 0.7 volts from the diode D1 from 12 volts supplied from the DC power supply DC1) are stored.

  On the other hand, the capacitor CD1 is stored in the capacitor CD1, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off and no DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1. A DC voltage (about 11.3 volts) based on the generated charge is supplied to the open frame detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal board 261.

  Therefore, the frame opening detection circuit 260 operates naturally when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, and further, for example, a game hall business Even if the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off after the time is over and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the internal power supply operates by the DC voltage supplied by the capacitor CD1, The opening of the frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 can be detected. In the present embodiment, the capacitor CD1 is used as a component for supplying a DC voltage to the open frame detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261 when a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power source DC1. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the capacitor CD1 may be a secondary battery (rechargeable battery) with a larger amount of stored electricity or a primary battery that does not require charging.

  In addition, a cathode terminal of a diode D1 is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1, and this diode D1 serves to prevent a backflow of current. Therefore, a direct current is passed from the capacitor CD1 to the open frame detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261. Even when a voltage (about 11.3 volts) is supplied, the DC voltage is not applied to the DC power source DC1, and the DC power source DC1 is not damaged.

  The timer IC1 is a C-MOS timer, and detects the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 by connecting the resistors R1 and R2 of 100 kΩ and the capacitors CD3 to CD5 of 0.1 μF, and an external output terminal It functions as a circuit for energizing the photocoupler PR1 of the plate 261 for about 10 ms.

  The operating voltage range of the timer IC 1 is that of the MPU 201 mounted on the main control device 110, the MPU 211 mounted on the payout control device 111, the MPU 221 mounted on the sound lamp control device 113, and the MPU 231 mounted on the display control device 114. It is set in a wider range than each operating voltage range. Specifically, the operating voltage range of the timer IC 1 is about 1.5 volts to about 12.0 volts, while the operating voltage ranges of the MPUs 201, 211, 2221, and 231 are about 4.5 volts. It is about 5.5 volts (each operating voltage in this embodiment is about 5.0 volts). Therefore, the timer IC 1 can operate at a voltage lower than the operating voltages of the MPUs 201, 211, 211, and 231. Therefore, even if the charge stored in the capacitor CD1 decreases and the voltage supplied by the capacitor CD1 drops below about 4.5 volts, the timer IC1 can operate sufficiently. Further, the timer IC1 is, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off and no DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, that is, the capacitor CD1 is connected to the timer IC1. The case where the voltage is supplied and the case where the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is performed and the DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1 are combined. Therefore, of course, the timer IC 1 can operate at a DC voltage of 12 volts or less supplied to the frame opening detection circuit 260 when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10. Furthermore, since the timer IC1 is a timer composed of a C-MOS semiconductor, power consumption during operation can be suppressed and operation can be performed for a long time.

  The VDD terminal of the timer IC1 is a terminal for inputting a DC voltage supplied to the timer IC1, and is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1. The VDD terminal of the timer IC1 is connected to one end of a 0.1 μF capacitor CD4, and the other end of the capacitor CD4 is connected to the GND terminal of the grounded timer IC1. The capacitor CD4 reduces noise generated at the VDD terminal of the timer IC1 when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are turned on or off (when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are opened or closed). .

  The RES terminal of the timer IC 1 is a terminal for operating a reset function for forcibly stopping the voltage output from the OUT terminal (zero volts) when a pulse signal is input to the RES terminal. However, since the reset function is not used in the open frame detection circuit 260, the RES terminal of the timer IC1 is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1 so that the reset function is not activated. Since the VDD terminal of timer IC1 and the RES terminal of timer IC1 are connected to one end of capacitor CD1 as described above, a DC voltage of about 11.3 volts is applied to the VDD terminal and RES terminal of timer IC1. Applied.

  When the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off (when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed), the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 reduces the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1. When one of the switches SW1 and SW2 or both of the switches SW1 and SW2 is in a conductive state (either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, Or, when both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are in an open state), the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 is a terminal for setting from about 10.6 volts to zero volts after about 10 ms. . The TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is connected to one end of the resistor R2, one end of the capacitor CD5, the other end of the switch SW1, the other end of the switch SW2, one end of the resistor R1, and one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261. The other end of the resistor R2 and the other end of the capacitor CD5 are grounded.

  The resistor R2 connected to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is connected to the timer R1 when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are in an open state and the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in a conductive state (see FIG. 5B). This is a resistor for applying a DC voltage (about 11.3 volts) to the TRG terminal of IC1. The capacitor CD5 is a capacitor for reducing noise generated in the resistor R2 when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are turned on or off (when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are opened or closed). It is.

  With the above connection, when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in the cut-off state (when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are in the closed state), no voltage is supplied to the resistor R2 and the capacitor CD5. The applied voltage (the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1) is zero volts. At this time, the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 is about 10.6 volts.

  On the other hand, when either the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 or both the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in a conductive state (either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 or both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are Since the voltage is supplied to the resistor R2 and the capacitor CD5 (when in the open state), the voltage applied to the resistor R2 and the capacitor CD5 (the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1) is applied to one end of the capacitor CD1. It is about 11.3 volts which is the same as the applied voltage. At this time, the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is about 10.6 volts for about 10 ms after either the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 or both the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are turned on. And then zero volts.

  In this way, the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 can be set to about 10.6 volts or zero volts by the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1. Note that the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on (the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened), and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 (voltage applied to the resistor R2) is from zero volts to about 11.3 volts. As described above, the voltage of about 10.6 volts output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts with a delay of about 10 ms from the rise of the voltage as described above. As will be described in detail later, the time difference between the rising edge of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 (voltage applied to the resistor R2) and the falling edge of the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 ( (About 10 ms), a current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 for about 10 ms, and the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is energized for about 10 ms.

  When the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off (the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed) and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 becomes zero volts, the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 has a voltage of about 10.6 volts. On the other hand, when the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on (the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened) and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 rises to about 11.3 volts, This is a terminal for setting the output voltage of about 10.6 volts to zero volts with a delay of about 10 ms. This OUT terminal is connected to one end of a 10 kΩ resistor R3. The other end of the resistor R3 is connected to one end of a capacitor CD2 and one end of a 10 kΩ resistor R4, and the other end of the capacitor CD2 and the other end of the resistor R4 are grounded.

  The resistors R3 and R4 are voltage dividing resistors for dividing the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1. Therefore, the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is divided into the resistor R3 and the resistor R4 according to the ratio of the resistance value of the resistor R3 and the resistance value of the resistor R4. Since both the resistor R3 and the resistor R4 are 10 kΩ, the voltage of about 10.6 volts output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is divided into a maximum value of about 5.3 volts by the resistors R3 and R4, respectively. Pressed.

  The 10 μF capacitor CD2 connected in parallel with the resistor R4 is a capacitor for stabilizing the voltage applied to the resistor R4. One end of the capacitor CD2 is connected to one end of the resistor R4, and the other end of the capacitor CD2 is connected to the other end of the resistor R4 and grounded. The capacitor CD2 stabilizes the voltage applied to the resistor R4, thereby stabilizing the bias voltage applied between the base terminal b of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1. The operation can be stabilized.

  The transistor TR1 is a switching element that switches between the conduction terminal and the interruption terminal between the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 based on the voltage applied to the resistor R4. The transistor TR1 is provided with an internal resistance R5 of 10 kΩ. One end of the internal resistor R5 is connected to one end of the resistor R4, and the other end of the internal resistor R5 is connected to the base terminal b. The transistor TR1 is provided with an internal resistance R6 of 10 kΩ. The other end of the internal resistor R5 is connected to one end of the internal resistor R6, and the emitter terminal e is connected to the other end of the internal resistor R6.

  Therefore, when a voltage of about 10.6 volts is output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 (when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed, and the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened). The voltage is divided by the resistors R3 and R4, and the voltage applied to the resistor R4 (about 5.3 volts) is connected to one end of the internal resistor R5 of the transistor TR1. It is applied between the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1. As a result, the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 are electrically connected. At this time, if the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state), the voltage of about 10.6 volts output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is switched to zero volts. That is, a current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal board 261 for about 10 ms after the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened. If a current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7, the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 can be energized for about 10 ms, and a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms can be output to the hall computer 262. However, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed and the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off, the connection between one end of the capacitor CD1 and the resistor R7 provided on the external output terminal plate 261 is cut off. Therefore, no current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261. Accordingly, the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is not energized, and no pulse signal is output to the hall computer 262.

  On the other hand, when the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is zero volts (when about 10 ms has elapsed since the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened), no voltage is applied to the resistor R4, so the internal resistance R5 of the transistor TR1. No voltage is applied between one end of the transistor and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1. Thereby, the terminal between the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 is cut off. Therefore, even if the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state), no current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261. Accordingly, the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is not energized, and no pulse signal is output to the hall computer 262.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state, the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 can be energized for about 10 ms. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms can be output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262.

  The TH terminal of the timer IC1 is a terminal that measures a voltage applied to the TH terminal, and is connected to the other end of the resistor R1, one end of the capacitor CD3, and the DCH terminal of the timer IC1. The DCH terminal of the timer IC1 has a voltage (about 7.5 volts) that is 2/3 of the direct current voltage (about 11.3 volts) applied to the VDD terminal of the timer IC1. In this case, the terminal switches the impedance of the DCH terminal from an infinite state to a zero state. When the impedance of the DCH terminal becomes zero (ground state), a voltage cannot be applied to the capacitor CD3. On the other hand, when the impedance of the DCH terminal is infinite, a voltage can be applied to the capacitor CD3.

  The resistor R1 and the capacitor CD3 connected to the TH terminal of the timer IC1 and the DCH terminal of the timer IC1 open the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 based on the time constant that is the product of the resistance value of the resistor R1 and the capacitor CD3. In this case, it is a component for determining the period until the voltage of about 10.6 volts output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 is switched to zero volts to about 10 ms. One end of the resistor R1 is connected to the other end of the switch SW1, the other end of the switch SW2, and one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal board 261. The other end of the resistor R1 is connected to the TH terminal of the timer IC1, the DCH terminal of the timer IC1, and one end of the capacitor CD3. The other end of the capacitor CD3 is grounded.

  Here, the resistor R1 and the capacitor CD3 will be described together with the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, the TH terminal of the timer IC1, the DCH terminal of the timer IC1, and the OUT terminal of the timer IC1.

  When the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are in the closed state (when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in the cut-off state), no voltage is supplied to the resistor R1, so the voltage applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC1 is zero volts (about 7.5 volts). Thus, the impedance of the DCH terminal of the timer IC 1 is set to an infinite state. Therefore, a voltage can be applied to the capacitor CD3, and the capacitor CD3 is in a chargeable state (a state in which charge can be stored). However, when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off, the connection between one end of the capacitor CD1 and the resistor R1 is cut off, so that no voltage is applied to the capacitor CD3, and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD3 is zero volts. It becomes. Thus, the capacitor CD3 is in a chargeable state, but is not charged. At this time, the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is about 10.6 volts, and the collector terminal c and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 are electrically connected. However, since the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in the cut-off state, no current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261. Accordingly, the energization of the external output terminal plate 261 to the photocoupler PR1 is not performed, and no pulse signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262.

  Next, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened (see FIG. 5B) and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 (resistor R7) The applied voltage) switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts. At this time, the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is about 10.6 volts, and the collector terminal c and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 are conducted. Therefore, current supply to one end of the resistor R7 is started, and the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is energized. As a result, output of a signal to the hall computer 262 is started.

  At the same time that the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 (the voltage applied to the resistor R7) switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts, the voltage is applied to the capacitor CD3, and the capacitor CD3 is charged. Be started. At this time, the voltage applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC1 starts to rise.

  The voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is 2 / of the voltage (about 11.3 volts) applied to the VDD terminal of the timer IC1 (the voltage applied to the capacitor CD3) applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC1. Continue to maintain about 10.6 volts until equal to a voltage of 3, ie, about 7.5 volts. When the voltage applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC1 (the voltage applied to the capacitor CD2) rises and becomes equal to about 7.5 volts, the impedance of the DCH terminal of the timer IC1 is changed from an infinite state to a zero state (ground To the ( Then, the voltage applied to the capacitor CD3 becomes a zero volt state, and the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD3 is discharged. As a result, the voltage applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC 1 is switched from about 7.5 volts to zero volts. By switching the voltage applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC1, the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is switched from about 10.6 volts to zero volts. Then, the conduction between the collector terminal c and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 is cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7 is stopped. As a result, energization of the external output terminal plate 261 to the photocoupler PR1 is stopped, and signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (see FIG. 5B), the signal is output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1. A period until the voltage of about 10.6 volts is switched to zero volts, that is, a period until the voltage applied to the TH terminal of the timer IC1 (voltage applied to the capacitor CD3) changes from zero volts to about 7.5 volts. Based on the time constant which is the product of the resistance value of the resistor R1 and the capacitance of the capacitor CD3, it is determined to be about 10 ms. Then, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state, supply of current is started to one end of the resistor R7 of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261. After about 10 ms from the start of supplying current to one end of the resistor R7, the voltage of about 10.6 volts output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 switches to zero volts, and the collector terminal c and emitter terminal of the transistor TR1. The conduction with e is interrupted, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7 is stopped. As a result, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, a current is supplied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 for about 10 ms, and the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is supplied for about 10 ms. It can be energized only during Therefore, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms can be output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262.

  When the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are changed from the open state to the closed state (the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off from the conductive state), that is, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 (applied to the resistor R7). When the voltage is switched from about 11.3 volts to zero volts, the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 is switched from zero volts to about 10.6 volts. In this state, as described above, the collector terminal c and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 are in conduction, but the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in the cut-off state, so that one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 is connected. Is not supplied with current. Therefore, the external output terminal plate 261 is not energized to the photocoupler PR1, and no pulse signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state, one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 is based on the time constant that is the product of the resistance value of the resistor R1 and the capacitor CD3. A current is supplied for about 10 ms, and the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 can be energized for about 10 ms. Thereby, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms can be output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262.

  Returning to the description of FIG. The CNT terminal of the timer IC 1 is a terminal that adjusts the output period of the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 by a signal input to the CNT terminal. However, in this frame open detection circuit 260, the output period of the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is not adjusted (the output period of the voltage output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is fixed to 10 ms). The CNT terminal is not connected to any part of the frame open detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261 and is open.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (see FIG. 5B), the frame open detection circuit 260 has an external output terminal plate 261. The current supply to one end of the resistor R7 is started. On the other hand, the frame open detection circuit 260 cuts off the connection between the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 from the conductive state after about 10 ms has passed since the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened. The current supply to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 is stopped. As a result, the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is energized for about 10 ms, and a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262.

  The door opening detection circuit 260 uses the LMC 555 for the timer IC 1 to detect the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 and realizes a circuit for energizing the photocoupler PR1 for about 10 ms. It is not limited. That is, a circuit that generates one pulse signal for one opening of the inner frame 12 or one opening of the front frame 14 by using another integrated circuit or the like for the timer IC 1 is realized. Any device may be used as long as the photocoupler PR1 is energized for a predetermined period based on the pulse signal.

  Next, the external output terminal board 261 connected to the frame opening detection circuit 260 and connected to the hall computer 262 will be described. The external output terminal plate 261 has a function of outputting a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms to the hall computer 262, and is mainly composed of a 1 kΩ resistor R7 and a photocoupler PR1.

  The resistor R7 is a resistor that limits the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1, and one end of the resistor R7 is connected to one end of the resistor R1 of the frame opening detection circuit 260, the other end of the switch SW1, and the other end of the switch SW2. The other end of the resistor R7 is connected to the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 (the anode terminal of the light emitting diode). The photocoupler PR1 is a current switch including a light emitting diode and a light receiving element (phototransistor) that receives light emitted from the light emitting diode. As described above, the light emitting diode which is the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 has an anode terminal connected to one end of the resistor R7 and a cathode terminal connected to the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 of the frame open detection circuit 260. The light receiving element (phototransistor) that is the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 is connected to the hall computer 262.

  Accordingly, the terminal between the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 is electrically connected for about 10 ms after the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened (the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is conductive). Then, a current is supplied to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 through the resistor R7, and the light emitting diode emits light for about 10 ms. Then, the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 receives the emitted light, changes the received light of about 10 ms into a pulse signal (electric signal) having a pulse width of about 10 ms, and A pulse signal is output to the hall computer 262. The hall computer 262 can store the pulse signal output from the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1. Therefore, the hall computer 262 can store that the inner frame 12 has been opened or the front frame 14 has been opened.

  On the other hand, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed (when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are shut off), no voltage is supplied to one end of the resistor R7, so that the light emitting diode that is the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 Is not supplied with current. Therefore, no pulse signal is output to the hall computer 262 from the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1.

  Here, an advantage of using the photocoupler PR1 for the external output terminal plate 261 that outputs a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 will be described. The photocoupler PR1 is configured to convert a current supplied to the light emitting diode on the primary side into light, receive the light in a light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side, and output a pulse signal (electric signal) (light emission) A configuration in which a signal is transmitted in one direction from the diode to the light receiving element). Therefore, an electrical signal such as a pulse signal cannot be transmitted from the secondary side light receiving element (phototransistor) to the primary side light emitting diode. Thereby, even if the open frame detection circuit 260 is connected to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1, and the hall computer 262 is connected to the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, the hall computer 262 is connected. It is impossible to transmit an electrical signal such as a pulse signal from the main controller 110 or the like provided with the frame opening detection circuit 260 or the frame opening detection circuit 260. Therefore, the use of the photocoupler PR1 prevents the transmission of an electrical signal such as an illegal pulse signal from the hall computer 262 to the frame opening detection circuit 260, the main controller 110, and the like, and prevents the hall computer from the external output terminal plate 261. 262 has an advantage that a pulse signal can be transmitted.

  Further, in the photocoupler PR1, the primary side light emitting diode and the secondary side light receiving element (phototransistor) are electrically insulated. Therefore, for example, even if electric current is included in the current supplied to the light emitting diode of the photocoupler PR1, the electric noise is not transmitted to the secondary side phototransistor. Therefore, by using the photocoupler PR1, the external output terminal plate 261 has an advantage that it can output an accurate pulse signal to the hall computer 262.

  As described above, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is provided with the 0.1-F capacitor CD1, so that the frame opening detection circuit 260 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine 10 and is supplied with 12 volts from the DC power supply DC1. When the DC voltage is supplied, the operation is naturally performed. Further, for example, the business hours of the amusement hall are terminated, the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off, and the DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1. Even if it is not done, the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 can be detected. When the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 is detected by the frame opening detection circuit 260, a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms can be output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262. The pulse signal output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours.

  Here, in general, the amusement hall has a security contract with a private security company, and if there is an intruder into the amusement hall, the security company's guards immediately rush to the amusement hall. However, since the cheating is carried out in a short time, when the security guard rushes, in most cases, the intruder has already escaped from the playground, and it is impossible to determine which pachinko machine 10 has been cheated. There was a problem. The pachinko machine 10 that has been cheated must return to a normal state, but if it is not known which pachinko machine 10 has been cheated, the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 of all the pachinko machines 10 are Opening them and inspecting them one by one, and performing this work at the amusement hall where a large number of pachinko machines 10 are installed, was a heavy labor.

  However, according to the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, when the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 is detected by the frame opening detection circuit 260, the pulse width of about from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 is reduced. A 10 ms pulse signal is output. The outputted pulse signal is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 in which the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened can be specified by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262. Further, the hall computer 262 outputs a pulse signal from the external output terminal plate 261 and stores the output time of the output pulse signal, thereby enabling the specified opening time of the inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine 10 or The opening time of the front frame 14 can be detected.

  For example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is shut off, and a DC voltage is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261, the internal When the total supply period of the current from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 due to the opening of the frame 12 or the front frame 14 is increased or the number of times of detecting the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is increased, the capacitor The capacity of CD1 may be increased (for example, the capacity of the capacitor CD1 is set to 1F), or the capacitor CD1 may be changed to a secondary battery with a large storage amount.

  Next, referring to FIG. 8, the TRG terminal voltage (external output terminal plate) of timer IC1 that changes in accordance with the state of switch SW1 (the state of inner frame 12) and the state of switch SW2 (the state of front frame 14). The relationship between the voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of 261), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1, and the output of the external output terminal plate 261 (input of the hall computer 262) will be described. 8 shows the state of the switch SW1 (the state of the inner frame 12), the state of the switch SW2 (the state of the front frame 14), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 (the voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261). ), A timing chart showing the relationship between the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 and the output of the external output terminal plate 261 (input of the hall computer 262).

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the switch SW1 becomes conductive (the inner frame 12 is open) at t1, the TRG terminal voltage (external output terminal plate) of the timer IC 1 is shown in FIG. The voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of 261) switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts at t1. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8D, the timer IC1 continues to output a voltage of about 10.6 volts from the OUT terminal until about 10 ms elapse from t1. As a result, current supply to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 (see FIG. 7) is started (at time t1). Then, as shown in FIG. 8E, the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 is switched from the low state to the high state at t1. Change. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  When about 10 ms elapses from time t1, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 10.6 volts to zero volts as shown in FIG. 8 (d). Then, the current supply to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 stops. Therefore, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state when 10 ms elapses from t1. In this way, by switching the output of the external output terminal plate 261, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the switch SW1 is in a cut-off state (inner frame 12 is closed) at t2, the TRG terminal voltage (external output) of the timer IC 1 is shown in FIG. The voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of the terminal board 261 is switched from about 11.3 volts to zero volts, and the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is switched from zero volts to about 10.6 volts (at time t2). As a result, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is set to a state in which the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 can be detected again.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), when the switch SW2 becomes conductive (the front frame 14 is in the open state) at t3, as shown in FIG. 8 (c), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 (external) The voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of the output terminal board 261 is switched from zero volts to about 11.3 volts at t3. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8D, the timer IC1 continues to output a voltage of about 10.6 volts from the OUT terminal until about 10 ms elapse from t3. As a result, the current supply to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 (see FIG. 7) is started (at time t3). Then, as shown in FIG. 8E, the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 is switched from the low state to the high state at t3. Change. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  When about 10 ms elapses from t3, as shown in FIG. 8D, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 10.6 volts to zero volts. Then, the current supply to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 stops. Therefore, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state when 10 ms elapses from t3. In this way, by switching the output of the external output terminal plate 261, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, when the switch SW2 is cut off (the front frame 14 is closed), as shown in FIG. 8C, the TRG terminal voltage (external output terminal plate 261) of the timer IC1 is obtained. The voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 is switched from about 11.3 volts to zero volts, and the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is switched from zero volts to about 10.6 volts (at time t4). As a result, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is set to a state in which the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 can be detected again.

  Finally, a case will be described where the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (the front frame 14 is in an open state) when the switch SW1 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in an open state). As shown in FIG. 8A, at time t5, the switch SW1 becomes conductive (inner frame 12 is open), and as shown in FIG. 8B, at time t6, switch SW2 becomes conductive (front surface). When the frame 14 is in the open state), as shown in FIG. 8C, the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 (the voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261) is about zero volts at t5. Switch to 11.3 volts. At this time, as shown in FIG. 8D, the timer IC1 continues to output a voltage of about 10.6 volts from the OUT terminal until about 10 ms elapse from t5. As a result, current supply to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 (see FIG. 7) is started (at time t5). Then, as shown in FIG. 8E, the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 is switched from the low state to the high state at t5. Change. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  When about 10 ms elapses from t5, as shown in FIG. 8D, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 10.6 volts to zero volts. Then, the current supply to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 stops. Therefore, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state when 10 ms elapses from t5. In this way, by switching the output of the external output terminal plate 261, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 8A, at time t7, the switch SW1 is in a cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed), and as shown in FIG. 8B, at time t8, the switch SW2 is in a cut-off state. When the front frame 14 is closed, as shown in FIG. 8C, the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 (the voltage applied to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261) is about 11.3 volts. From 0 to 0 volt, and the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 is switched from zero volt to about 10.6 volt (at t8). As a result, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is set to a state in which the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 can be detected again.

  As described above, even when the switch SW1 is in the conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in the open state) and the switch SW2 is in the conductive state (the front frame 14 is in the open state), the timer IC1 is in the conductive period of the switch SW1. Regardless of the length of the inner frame 12 (the length of the opening period of the inner frame 12) and the length of the conduction period of the switch SW2 (the length of the opening period of the front frame 14), either the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in the conductive state. When about 10 ms elapses from when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is open, the voltage at the OUT terminal is switched from about 10.6 volts to zero volts. Thereby, the supply period of the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is about 10 ms.

  Therefore, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1 to the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261. That is, when a DC voltage of about 11.3 volts is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the frame open detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261, the supply period of the current supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 is set as follows. 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 can be limited to about 10 ms. Therefore, power consumption due to the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be reduced.

  Here, since the capacitor CD1 has a capacitance of 0.1 F and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD1 is approximately 11.3 volts, the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 is the capacitance of the capacitor CD1 and the applied voltage of the capacitor CD1. From the product of this, it becomes about 1.13C (Coulomb). The charge of about 1.13C stored in the capacitor CD1 corresponds to about 500 times of current supply when the supply period of one time of the current supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 is about 10 ms. To do. Therefore, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is shut off and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the inner frame 12 is opened (the switch SW1 is turned off). Continuity) or the opening of the front frame 14 (conduction of the switch SW2) is performed a number of times, the frame opening detection circuit 260 opens the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 (conduction or conduction of the switch SW1). The conduction of the switch SW2) can be reliably detected every time up to about 500 times, and a pulse signal can be output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262. At this time, when the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 is about 500 times, the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 decreases, and the current value supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 decreases. By increasing the detection sensitivity of the pulse signal of the computer 262 (by reducing the threshold for the amplitude of the pulse signal), the pulse signal can be stored in the hall computer 262.

  In this embodiment, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, a pulse signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262. It is not limited to this. That is, when the connection of each component of the frame opening detection circuit 260 is changed, the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, and the opened inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is closed, the photocoupler PR1 is connected. A current may be supplied for about 10 ms to output a pulse signal from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262.

  However, in the frame open detection circuit 260 of this embodiment, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, a pulse signal is sent from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262. Therefore, the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be detected quickly. Therefore, the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be detected before the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and an illegal act is performed on the main controller 110 or the game board 13. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent an abnormal operation due to an illegal act occurring when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10.

  The pulse signal output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 in which the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened can be specified by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262. Further, the hall computer 262 outputs a pulse signal from the external output terminal plate 261 and stores the output time of the output pulse signal, thereby enabling the specified opening time of the inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine 10 or The opening time of the front frame 14 can be detected.

  When the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed (when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are shut off), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 10.6 volts. The terminal between the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e (see FIG. 7) of the transistor TR1 is brought into conduction. However, at this time, the current flowing through the transistor TR1 is only the base current. The resistors R3 and R5 that determine the current value of the base current both have a resistance value of 10 kΩ, which is sufficiently larger than the resistance value (1 kΩ) of the resistor R7 that limits the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1. Therefore, the current value of the base current can be kept at about 100 μA (note that the current value supplied to the photocoupler PR1 when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are turned on is about 11.3 mA). Therefore, the consumption of the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 due to the conduction state of the transistor TR1 can be stopped very slightly.

  When the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed (when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are shut off), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 10.6 volts, so that the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 Current is consumed via the resistor R3 and the resistor R4 connected in series between the resistor and the ground. However, both the resistance R3 and the resistance R4 have a resistance value of 10 kΩ, which is sufficiently larger than the resistance value (1 kΩ) of the resistance R7 that limits the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed, the current value flowing from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 to the ground via the resistor R3 and the resistor R4 can be kept at about 530 μA. Therefore, the consumption of the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 by the resistors R3 and R4 can be stopped very slightly.

  When the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed (when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off), the consumption of the charge stored in the capacitor CD1 due to the base current of the transistor TR1 and the resistance R3 and In order to further suppress the consumption of the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 by the resistor R4, the resistance values of the resistors R3, R4, and R5 may be made larger than 10 kΩ.

  Further, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed and the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off, the consumption of charge stored in the capacitor CD1 due to the base current of the transistor TR1 and the capacitor CD1 due to the resistors R3 and R4 In order to reduce the consumption of the electric charge stored in the battery, the following configuration may be used. The switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are further provided with a male switch SW1b and a male switch SW2b, respectively, so that the male switch SW1b and the male switch SW2b disposed in the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are respectively two. Correspondingly, the female switch SW1a and the female switch SW2a are further provided in the switch SW1 and the switch SW2, respectively, and the female switch SW1a and the female switch SW2a provided in the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are respectively 2 One by one. Accordingly, one new combination of the male switch SW1b and the female switch SW1a is added to the switch SW1. Similarly to the switch SW1, one combination of the male switch SW2b and the female switch SW2a is also added to the switch SW2. Then, the connection between the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 in the frame opening detection circuit 260 and one end of the resistor R3 is disconnected, and the female switch SW1a newly added to the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 after the disconnection is built in. One end of the pair of terminal pairs SW1c is connected. Then, the other end of the pair of terminal pairs SW1c incorporated in the newly added female switch SW1a is connected to one end of the resistor R3 after the disconnection. Similarly, one end of a pair of terminal pairs SW2c incorporated in the newly added female switch SW2a is connected to the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 after disconnection. Then, the other end of the pair of terminal pairs SW2c incorporated in the newly added female switch SW2a is connected to one end of the resistor R3 after the disconnection. With this configuration, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed and the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are shut off, about 10.6 volts, which is the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1, is set to the resistor R3, It is not applied to the resistor R4 and the resistor R5, and the consumption of the charge stored in the capacitor CD1 by the base current of the transistor TR1 and the consumption of the charge stored in the capacitor CD1 by the resistor R3 and the resistor R4 can be made zero. it can. On the other hand, when either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 or both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are open (one of the switches SW1 or SW2, or both the switches SW1 and SW2). Is supplied), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is divided and applied to the resistor R3, the resistor R4, the resistor R5, the resistor R6, and the capacitor CD2, thereby supplying the current to the photocoupler PR1. This can be done normally via the resistor R7.

  Note that the connection between the terminal pair SW1c and the terminal pair SW2c by cutting the connection with the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is not limited to the above. For example, the other end of the resistor R3 and one end of the resistor R4, the resistor R5, and the capacitor CD2 are disconnected, and the other end of the resistor R3 after the disconnection is paired with a female switch SW1a newly added. One end of the terminal pair SW1c is connected. Then, the other ends of the pair of terminals SW1c built in the newly added female switch SW1a are connected to one ends of the resistor R4, the resistor R5 and the capacitor CD2 after the disconnection. Similarly, one end of a pair of terminal pairs SW2c incorporated in the newly added female switch SW2a is connected to the other end of the resistor R3 after disconnection. Then, the other ends of the pair of terminals SW2c incorporated in the newly added female switch SW2a may be connected to one ends of the resistors R4, R5, and the capacitor CD2 after the disconnection. That is, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed by the newly added male switch SW1b and female switch SW1a and the newly added male switch SW2b and female switch SW2a. (When the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are cut off), the conduction between the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 and the ground is cut off, while one of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 or the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 Are open (when either switch SW1 or switch SW2 or both switch SW1 and switch SW2 are conductive), resistor R3, resistor R4, resistor R5, resistor R6 and What is necessary is just to comprise so that the OUT terminal voltage of timer IC1 may be divided and applied to the capacitor CD2.

  Further, when it is desired to separately store in the hall computer 262 which of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 is opened, the following configuration may be used. First, the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261 used in this embodiment are newly provided one by one, the switch SW2 connected in parallel to the switch SW1 is disconnected, and the disconnected switch SW2 is newly installed. It may be connected to the provided frame opening detection circuit 260. Specifically, one end of the disconnected switch SW2 is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1 of the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, the VDD terminal of the timer IC1, one end of the capacitor CD4, and the RES terminal of the timer IC1 and disconnected. The other end of the switch SW2 may be connected to one end of the capacitor CD5 of the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, one end of the resistor R1, and one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal board 261. Thus, the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal board 261 are newly provided, and only the switch SW2 is connected to the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, and the existing frame opening detection circuit 260 has a switch By connecting only SW1, when the switch SW1 is conductive (the inner frame 12 is opened), the pulse signal output from the existing external output terminal plate 261 and the switch SW2 are conductive (the front frame 14 is opened). ), The pulse signal output from the newly provided external output terminal board 261 can be output separately to the hall computer 262. Here, the hall computer 262 includes an input terminal for a pulse signal output from the existing external output terminal board 261 (for detecting conduction of the switch SW1 (for detecting opening of the inner frame 12)), and a newly provided external output terminal. Input terminals for pulse signals output from the plate 261 (for detecting conduction of the switch SW2 (for detecting opening of the front frame 14)) are separately provided. With this configuration, the conduction of the switch SW1 (opening of the inner frame 12) and the conduction of the switch SW2 (opening of the front frame 14) can be distinguished and stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, according to the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262, there was conduction of the switch SW1 (opening of the inner frame 12), conduction of the switch SW2 (opening of the front frame 14), or both. Is accurately detected.

  In addition, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 10, the hall computer 262 separately stores which of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 is opened, and between the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14. When it is desired to notify the pachinko machine 10 when one of them is opened, the following configuration may be used. First, the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal plate 261 used in this embodiment are newly provided one by one, the switch SW2 connected in parallel to the switch SW1 is disconnected, and the disconnected switch SW2 is newly installed. Connected to the provided frame opening detection circuit 260. Next, the male switches SW1b and SW2b and the female switches SW1a and SW2a are newly provided for the switch SW1 and the switch SW2, respectively. Then, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened using the newly provided male switches SW1b and SW2b and the female switches SW1a and SW2a and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, a signal is sent to the MPU 201. What is necessary is just to comprise so that it may be input.

  Specifically, one end of the disconnected switch SW2 is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1 of the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, the VDD terminal of the timer IC1, one end of the capacitor CD4, and the RES terminal of the timer IC1 and disconnected. The other end of the switch SW2 may be connected to one end of the capacitor CD5 of the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, one end of the resistor R1, and one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal board 261. Thus, the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal board 261 are newly provided, and only the switch SW2 is connected to the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, and the existing frame opening detection circuit 260 has a switch By connecting only SW1, when the switch SW1 is conductive (the inner frame 12 is opened), the pulse signal output from the existing external output terminal plate 261 and the switch SW2 are conductive (the front frame 14 is opened). ), The pulse signal output from the newly provided external output terminal board 261 can be output separately to the hall computer 262.

  Next, male switch SW1b and male switch SW2b are further provided for switch SW1 and switch SW2, respectively, and male switch SW1b and male switch SW2b disposed in switch SW1 and switch SW2 are respectively provided in two. To do. Correspondingly, the female switch SW1a and the female switch SW2a are further provided in the switch SW1 and the switch SW2, respectively, and the female switch SW1a and the female switch SW2a provided in the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are respectively 2 One by one. As a result, one new combination of the male switch SW1b and the female switch SW1a is added to the switch SW1. Similarly to the switch SW1, one combination of the male switch SW2b and the female switch SW2a is added to the switch SW2. Then, one end of a pair of terminal pairs SW1c built in the newly added female switch SW1a is connected to the DC power source DC1 of the existing frame opening detection circuit 260, and built into the newly added female switch SW1a. The other end of the paired terminal pair SW1c is connected to the input / output port 205 of the MPU 201 via a voltage dividing circuit constituted by a resistor. Similarly, one end of a pair of terminal pairs SW2c incorporated in the newly added female switch SW2a is connected to the DC power source DC1 of the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, and the newly added female type The other end of the pair of terminals SW2c built in the switch SW2a is connected to the input / output port 205 of the MPU 201 via a voltage dividing circuit constituted by a resistor and to a port different from the other end of the terminal pair SW1c. Further, the MPU 201 is supplied from the DC power source DC1 by a voltage of 5 volts (the voltage dividing circuit detects the opening of the inner frame 12 when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on. 12 volt voltage is reduced to 5 volts) or 5 volt voltage to detect the opening of the inner frame 14 (12 volt voltage supplied from the DC power supply DC1 is lowered to 5 volt by the voltage dividing circuit) ) Is input to the input / output port 205, a command indicating that the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is detected is transmitted to the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114. At this time, the command transmitted from the MPU 201 includes a command when the opening of the inner frame 12 is detected (hereinafter referred to as “inner frame command”) and a command when the front frame 14 is released (hereinafter referred to as “ This is referred to as “front frame command”. Then, the audio lamp control device 113 that has received these commands performs different notifications depending on whether the inner frame command is received or the front frame command is received. For example, a different warning sound is emitted from the audio output device 226 or the lighting mode of the lamp display device 227 is changed. Further, the display control device 114 that has received each command displays different modes depending on whether the inner frame command is received or the front frame command is received. For example, when the display control device 114 receives an inner frame command, the third symbol display device 81 displays “the inner frame is open” or the display control device 114 receives a front frame command. May be configured to display “front frame is open” on the third symbol display device 81.

  Thus, one new combination of the male switch SW1b and the female switch SW1a is added to the switch SW1, and the new combination of the male switch SW2b and the female switch SW2a is added to the switch SW2 as well as the switch SW1. When one switch is used and the switch SW1 is turned on (when the inner frame 12 is opened), the MPU 201 sends an inner frame command to the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114. Configure to send. Further, when the switch SW2 is turned on (when the front frame 14 is opened), the MPU 201 is configured to transmit a front frame command to the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114. By configuring in this way, notification of a different aspect between when the inner frame 12 is opened and when the front frame 14 is opened is performed using the audio lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114. Can do. As a result, the pachinko machine 10 can be used to accurately determine whether the switch SW1 is conductive (the inner frame 12 is opened), the switch SW2 is conductive (the front frame 14 is opened), or both. Can be detected.

  Further, a frame opening detection circuit 260 and an external output terminal plate 261 are newly provided, and only the switch SW2 is connected to the newly provided frame opening detection circuit 260, and the existing frame opening detection circuit 260 has a switch SW1. Only when the switch SW1 is conductive (the inner frame 12 is opened), the pulse signal output from the existing external output terminal plate 261 and the switch SW2 are conductive (the front frame 14 is opened). In the case where there is, the pulse signal output from the newly provided external output terminal board 261 can be separately output to the hall computer 262. Therefore, according to the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262, there was conduction of the switch SW1 (opening of the inner frame 12), conduction of the switch SW2 (opening of the front frame 14), or both. Is accurately detected.

  In the present embodiment, the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 is output to the hall computer 262 having a different installation location from the pachinko machine 10, but the present invention is not limited to this. A dedicated storage device having the function of the hall computer 262 may be provided for each pachinko machine 10, and the dedicated storage device may be provided on the back side of each pachinko machine 10 provided with the main control device 110 and the like. In this case, more preferably, a dedicated storage device such as the main control device 110, the payout control device 111, and the launch control device 112 is stored in the substrate box, and the box base and the box cover provided in the substrate box are stored. Are connected by a sealing unit (not shown) so that they cannot be opened (connection by caulking structure). Then, a seal seal (not shown) is attached to the connecting portion between the box base and the box cover so as to cover the box cover and the box base.

  Next, the display content of the third symbol display device 81 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the display screen of the third symbol display device 81, and FIG. 9A is a diagram schematically showing the area division setting and the effective line setting of the display screen, FIG. 9B is a diagram illustrating an actual display screen.

  The third symbol is composed of ten types of main symbols with numbers from “0” to “9” and one type of sub-shaped petal shape formed smaller than this main symbol. Each main symbol is composed of numbers from “0” to “9” on the rear symbol consisting of a wooden box, of which the main symbols with odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9) are A large number is added to almost the front of the wooden box. On the other hand, the main symbols with even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) are attached to the front of the wooden box almost fully, and attached symbols imitating characters such as furoshiki and helmets are added. An even number is small in green on the lower right side of the attached symbol and is added so as to be displayed on the front side of the attached symbol.

  Further, in the pachinko machine 10 according to the present embodiment, when the lottery result by the main control device 110 is a big win, a variable display in which the same main symbols are arranged is performed, and a big hit occurs after the variable display is finished. It is configured to When shifting to the high probability state (probability variation state) after the big hit, the variable display in which the main symbols (corresponding to “high probability symbols”) to which odd numbers are added is arranged. On the other hand, when shifting to the low probability state after the big hit, the variable display is performed in which the main symbols to which the even numbers are added (corresponding to “low probability symbols”) are arranged. Here, the high probability state refers to a state in which the subsequent jackpot probability is increased as an added value after the jackpot ends, that is, a so-called probability fluctuation (probability change). Further, the normal state (low probability state) refers to a time when the probability of hitting is not probable, and refers to a state where the probability of jackpot is normal, that is, a state where the probability of jackpot is lower than that during probability change.

  As shown in FIG. 9 (a), the display screen of the third symbol display device 81 is roughly divided into two vertically, and the lower 2/3 is the main display area Dm in which the third symbol is variably displayed, and the others. The upper third is a sub display area Ds for displaying a notice effect and a character.

  In the main display area Dm, three symbol rows Z1, Z2, and Z3 of left, middle, and right are displayed. In each symbol row Z1 to Z3, the above-described third symbols are displayed in a prescribed order. That is, in each symbol row Z1 to Z3, main symbols are arranged in ascending or descending numerical order, and one sub symbol is arranged between each main symbol. For this reason, a total of 20 third symbols of 10 main symbols and 10 sub-designs are set in each symbol row, and each symbol row Z1 to Z3 scrolls from top to bottom with periodicity. The display is changed. In particular, the left symbol row Z1 is arranged so that the numbers of the main symbols appear in descending order, and the middle symbol row Z2 and the right symbol row Z3 are arranged so that the numbers of the main symbols appear in ascending order.

  In the main display area Dm, the third symbols are displayed in the upper, middle, and lower three rows for each symbol row Z1 to Z3. Accordingly, the third symbol display device 81 displays a total of nine third symbols of 3 rows × 3 columns. In the main display area Dm, five effective lines, that is, an upper line L1, a middle line L2, a lower line L3, a right rising line L4, and a left rising line L5 are set. In each game, the variable display stops in the order of the left symbol row Z1 → the right symbol row Z3 → the middle symbol row Z2, and the combination of jackpot symbols on any active line at the time of the stop (in this embodiment, A jackpot video is displayed as a jackpot if the same combination of main symbols) is arranged.

  The sub display area Ds is horizontally long above the main display area Dm, and is further equally divided into three notice areas Ds1 to Ds3 in the left-right direction. Here, the left and right notice areas Ds1, Ds3 are usually covered with double-open opaque doors that are electrically opened and closed by solenoids (not shown), and sometimes the solenoids are excited and the doors are on the front side. It is a display area that is visible to the player when it is opened. The center notice area Ds2 is a display area that is always visible without being covered by the door.

  As shown in FIG. 9B, on the actual display screen, a total of nine main symbols and sub-designs of the third symbol are displayed in the main display area Dm. In the sub display area Ds, the left and right doors are closed, and the left and right notice areas Ds1, Ds3 are covered and the display screen cannot be visually recognized. If either one of the left and right doors or both doors are opened during the variable display, a video is displayed in the left and right notice areas Ds1 and Ds3, and it is easy for the player to change to a big hit than usual. It is suggested. In the notice area Ds2 in the center, a predetermined character (a boy with a bee in this embodiment) usually performs a predetermined action, sometimes performs a special action different from the predetermined action, or another character A notice effect is performed by appearing. The display screen of the third symbol display device 81 is divided into upper and lower display areas Dm and Ds in principle, but the third symbol and characters are displayed larger across the display areas Dm and Ds. A display effect can be performed.

  Next, a counter and the like provided in the RAM 203 of the main controller 110 will be described with reference to FIG. These counters and the like are used by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110 to perform jackpot lottery, display setting of the first symbol display device 37, lottery of display results of the second symbol display device 82, and the like.

  For the jackpot lottery or display setting of the first symbol display device 37, the first hit random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery, the first hit type symbol counter C2 used for the jackpot symbol selection, and the stop pattern selection counter C3, a first initial value random number counter CINI1 used for setting an initial value of the first per-random number counter C1, and variation type counters CS1, CS2, CS3 used for variation pattern selection are used. The second symbol random number counter C4 is used for the lottery of the second symbol display device 82, and the second initial random number counter CINI2 is used for setting the initial value of the second random number counter C4. Each of these counters is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value.

  Each counter is updated at an interval of 4 ms, which is an execution interval of the main process (see FIG. 12), or at an interval of 2 ms, an execution interval of the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 15), and the updated value is set in a predetermined area of the RAM 203. Stored in the counter buffer as appropriate. The RAM 203 is provided with a holding ball storage area composed of one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to fourth areas). The values of the first per-random number counter C1, the first per-type counter C2, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 are stored in accordance with the ball winning timing.

  Each counter will be described in detail. The first random number counter C1 is configured so that, for example, 1 is added in order within a range of 0 to 738, and after reaching the maximum value (that is, 738), it returns to 0. In particular, when the first random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the first random number counter C1. The first initial value random number counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the first per-random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 738), and each time the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 15) is executed. It is updated once and updated repeatedly within the remaining time of the main process (see FIG. 12). The value of the first per-random number counter C1 is updated, for example, periodically (in this embodiment, once for each timer interrupt process), and the stored ball is stored in the RAM 203 at the timing when the ball wins the first entrance 64. Stored in the area. The number of random number values that are jackpots is set at low probability and high probability, and the number of random numbers that are jackpots at low probability is 2, and the value is “373, 727” There are 14 random numbers that are big hits at high probability, and the values are "59, 109, 163, 211, 263, 317, 367, 421, 479, 523, 631, 683, 733".

  The first hit type counter C2 determines the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 at the time of the big hit. In the present embodiment, the first hit type counter C2 is incremented one by one within the range of 0 to 4, and the maximum value ( That is, it is configured to return to 0 after reaching 4). The value of the first hit type counter C2 is updated, for example, periodically (once every timer interruption process in this embodiment), and the stored ball is stored in the RAM 203 at the timing when the ball wins the first entrance 64. Stored in the area. In addition, the value of the random number that becomes a high probability state after the jackpot is “1, 2, 3”, the value of the random number that becomes the low probability state after the jackpot is “0, 4”, and two types of hits are determined. The Therefore, the display mode corresponding to the stop symbol displayed on the first symbol display device 37 is a display mode corresponding to two types of jackpots of a high probability state and a low probability state, and one type of display mode corresponding to a deviation. Any one of the three display modes is selected.

  The stop pattern selection counter C3 is, for example, incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 238, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 238). In the present embodiment, after the stop pattern selection counter C3 selects the effect pattern displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the reach occurs, the final stop symbol is shifted by one before and after the reach symbol. “Stop before and after detachment reach” (for example, a range of 0 to 8) and “Leach other than detachment before and after detachment” (for example, a range of 9 to 38) after the reach has occurred and the final stop symbol stops at other than before and after the reach design. The three stop (effect) patterns are selected as “completely out” (for example, a range of 39 to 238) that does not cause reach. The value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 is updated, for example, periodically (once every timer interrupt process in the present embodiment), and the reserved ball storage area of the RAM 203 at the timing when the ball wins the first entrance 64. Stored in

  Further, the stop pattern selection counter C3 is provided with a plurality of tables having different ranges of random number values from which the stop pattern is selected. This is based on whether the current state of the pachinko machine 10 is a high probability state or a low probability state, in which area of the reserved ball storage area each random number value is stored (that is, the number of reservations), etc. This is to change the stop pattern selection ratio.

  For example, in a high probability state, a table with a wide random value range of 10 to 238 corresponding to the stop pattern of “completely out” is selected so that a jackpot is likely to occur and a reach effect is not selected more than necessary. It becomes easy to select “completely off”. In this table, “front / rear out of reach” is narrowed to 0-5, and “reach other than front / rear out of reach” is also narrowed to 6-9, making it difficult to select “rear out of front / rear out of reach” or “reach out of front / rear out of reach”. Further, if each random number value is not stored in the holding ball storage area in a low probability state, a disturbance corresponding to the stop pattern of “completely off” in order to secure the time for the ball to enter the first entrance 64. A table with a narrow numerical value range of 51 to 238 is selected, and “completely out” is difficult to select. In this table, the range of random numbers corresponding to the stop pattern of “reach other than front / rear deviation” is as wide as 9 to 50, and “reach other than front / rear deviation” is easily selected. Therefore, in the low probability state, the ball entry time to the first entrance 64 can be secured, and therefore, the variable display by the third symbol display device 81 is easily performed continuously.

  Of the two variation type counters CS1 and CS2, one variation type counter CS1 is incremented one by one in the range of 0 to 198, for example, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 198) and then returns to 0. On the other hand, the other variation type counter CS2 is, for example, incremented by 1 in order within a range of 0 to 240, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 240). In the following description, CS1 is also referred to as “first variation type counter”, and CS2 is also referred to as “second variation type counter”.

  Rough display modes such as so-called normal reach, super reach, and premium reach are determined by the first variation type counter CS1. Specifically, the display mode is determined by determining the variation time of the symbol variation. Further, the second variation type counter CS2 determines a variation time (in other words, the number of variation symbols) until the final stop symbol (in this embodiment, the middle symbol) stops after the occurrence of reach. Based on the variation time determined by the variation type counters CS1 and CS2, the display control device 114 determines the reach type of the third symbol displayed on the third display device 81 and the detailed symbol variation mode. Therefore, a variety of variation patterns can be easily realized by combining these variation type counters CS1 and CS2. It is also possible to determine the symbol variation mode only by the first variation type counter CS1, or to determine the symbol variation mode similarly by the combination of the first variation type counter CS1 and the stop symbol. The values of the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 are updated once every time a main process (see FIG. 12) described later is executed once, and are repeatedly updated within the remaining time in the main process.

  For example, the value of the variation type counter CS3 is sequentially incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 162, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 162). In the following description, CS3 is also referred to as a “third variation type counter”. The 3rd symbol display device 81 of this Embodiment performs the decorative production according to the display mode of the 1st symbol display device 37, and can slide the symbol which is changing in addition to the variation of a symbol. A notice effect such as passing a notice character for notifying the occurrence of the reach effect is performed. The effect pattern of the notice effect is selected by the variation type counter CS3. Specifically, the time required for the notice effect is added to the variable time, or on the contrary, the variable time is subtracted to shorten the variable display time, or an effect pattern that does not add or subtract the variable time is selected. . As with the stop pattern selection counter C3, the variation type counter CS3 is provided with a plurality of tables with different ranges of random values from which the production pattern is selected, and whether the current state of the pachinko machine 10 is in a high probability state. Depending on the low probability state or in which area of the reserved ball storage area each random value is stored, the selection ratio of each effect pattern is different.

  As described above, the variation time of the symbol variation is determined by the variation type counters CS1 and CS2, and the time to be added to or subtracted from the variation time is determined by the variation type counter CS3. Therefore, the final fluctuation time until the final stop symbol stops is determined by the fluctuation type counters CS1, CS2, CS3.

  The second random number counter C4 is configured as a loop counter that is incremented one by one within a range of 0 to 250, for example, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 250). In the present embodiment, the value of the second random number counter C4 is updated periodically, for example, every timer interrupt process, and the ball has passed through the second entrance (through gate) 67 on either the left or right side. Obtained when detected. The number of random number values to be won is 149, and the range is “5 to 153”. The second initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter that is updated within the same range as the second per-random number counter C4 (value = 0 to 250), and is once per timer interrupt process (see FIG. 15). In addition to being updated, it is repeatedly updated within the remaining time of the main process (see FIG. 12).

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110 will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 11 to 17. The processing of the MPU 201 is roughly divided into a startup process that is started when the power is turned on, a main process that is executed after the startup process, and a timer that is started periodically (in this embodiment, at a cycle of 2 ms). There are an interrupt process and an NMI interrupt process activated by the input of the power failure signal SG1 to the NMI terminal. For convenience of explanation, the timer interrupt process and the NMI interrupt process are described first, and then the startup process The main process will be described.

  FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing the timer interrupt process. The timer interrupt process is executed by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110, for example, every 2 ms. In the timer interrupt process, first, a process for reading various winning switches is executed (S501). That is, the state of various switches connected to the main controller 110 is read, and the state of the switch is determined and the detection information (winning detection information) is stored.

  Next, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S502). Specifically, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 is incremented by 1 and cleared to 0 when the counter value reaches the maximum value (738 in the present embodiment). Then, the updated value of the first initial value random number counter CINI 1 is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 203. Similarly, 1 is added to the second initial value random number counter CINI2, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value (250 in the present embodiment), it is cleared to 0, and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 is updated. The value is stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 203.

  Further, the first per-random number counter C1, the first per-type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the second per-random number counter C4 are updated (S503). Specifically, the first per-random number counter C1, the first per-type counter C2, the stop pattern selection counter C3, and the second per-random number counter C4 are each incremented by 1 and their counter values are the maximum values (this embodiment) Then, when they reach 738, 4, 238, 250), they are cleared to 0. Then, the updated values of the counters C1 to C4 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 203.

  Thereafter, a start winning process (see FIG. 16) associated with winning in the first entrance 64 is executed (S504), a firing control process is executed (S505), and the timer interrupt process is terminated. Note that the launch control process detects that the player is touching the operation handle 51 with the touch sensor 51a and turns on the launch of the ball on the condition that the stop switch 51b for stopping the launch is not operated. This is a process of determining / off. The main controller 110 instructs the launch controller 112 to launch a sphere when the launch of the sphere is on.

  Here, the start winning process executed in the process of S504 will be described with reference to the flowchart of FIG. FIG. 16 is a flowchart showing the start winning process (S504) executed in the timer interruption process (see FIG. 15).

  When this start winning process is executed, first, it is determined whether or not the ball has won a first winning opening 64 (start winning) (S601). If it is determined that the ball has won the first entrance 64 (S601: Yes), whether or not the number N of the operation reserved balls of the first symbol display device 37 is less than the upper limit (4 in the present embodiment). Is determined (S602). If there is a winning at the first entrance 64 and the number of reserved balls N <4 (S602: Yes), the number of reserved balls N is incremented by 1 (S603), and further updated in step S503. The values of the first per-random number counter C1, the first per-type counter C2, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 are stored in the first area among the free reserved areas in the reserved ball storage area of the RAM 203 (S604). On the other hand, if there is no winning at the first entrance 64 (S601: No), or even if there is a winning at the first entrance 64, if the number N of operational balls is not less than 4 (S602: No) , S603 and S604 are skipped, the start winning process is terminated, and the process returns to the timer interrupt process.

  FIG. 17 is a flowchart showing the NMI interrupt process. The NMI interrupt process is a process executed by the MPU 201 of the main controller 110 when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. By this NMI interrupt processing, information on occurrence of power interruption is stored in the RAM 203. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. Then, the MPU 201 interrupts the control being executed and starts the NMI interrupt process, stores the power-off occurrence information in the RAM 203 as a setting of the power-off occurrence information (S651), and ends the NMI interrupt process. To do.

  The above NMI interrupt process is executed in the same manner in the payout and emission control device 111, and information on the occurrence of power interruption is stored in the RAM 213 by the NMI interrupt process. That is, when the power of the pachinko machine 10 is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like, the power failure signal SG1 is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252 to the NMI terminal of the MPU 211 in the payout and emission control device 111, and the MPU 211 interrupts the control being executed. Then, the NMI interrupt process is started.

  Next, referring to FIG. 11, a startup process when the main controller 110 is powered on will be described. FIG. 11 is a flowchart showing start-up processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. This start-up process is activated by a reset at power-on. In the start-up process, first, an initial setting process associated with power-on is executed (S101). Specifically, a predetermined value set in advance in the stack pointer is set, and the sub-side control devices (peripheral control devices such as the audio lamp control device 113 and the payout control device 111) become operable. In order to wait, a wait process (1 second in this embodiment) is executed. Next, access to the RAM 203 is permitted (S103).

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the RAM erase switch 122 (see FIG. 3) provided in the power supply device 115 is turned on (S104). If it is turned on (S104: Yes), the process proceeds to S110. On the other hand, if the RAM erasure switch 122 is not turned on (S104: No), it is further determined whether or not the power-off occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S105), and if not stored (S105: No). Since there is a possibility that the process at the time of the previous power shutdown has not been completed normally, the process proceeds to S110 also in this case.

  If power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S105: Yes), a RAM determination value is calculated (S106). If the calculated RAM determination value is not normal (S107: No), that is, the calculated RAM If the determination value does not match the RAM determination value stored at the time of power-off, the backed up data has been destroyed. In such a case as well, the process proceeds to S110. Note that the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value at the work area address of the RAM 203, as will be described later in the processing of S213 in FIG. Instead of the RAM determination value, the validity of the backup may be determined based on whether or not the keyword written in a predetermined area of the RAM 203 is correctly stored.

  In the process of S111, a payout initialization command is transmitted in order to initialize the payout control device 111 as a sub-side control device (peripheral control device) (S111). Upon receiving this payout initialization command, the payout control device 111 clears an area (work area) other than the stack area of the RAM 213, sets an initial value, and enters a state in which game ball payout control can be started. After transmitting the payout initialization command, main controller 110 executes initialization processing (S112, S113) of RAM 203.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, when RAM data is initialized when the power is turned on, for example, when the hall starts business, the power is turned on while the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed. Therefore, if the RAM erase switch 122 is pressed during the start-up process, the RAM initialization process (S112, S113) is executed. Similarly, initialization processing (S112, S113) of the RAM 203 is executed even when the information on occurrence of power interruption is not set or when a backup abnormality is confirmed by the RAM determination value (checksum value or the like). . In the RAM initialization process (S112, S113), the used area of the RAM 203 is cleared to 0 (S112), and then the initial value of the RAM 203 is set (S113). After executing the initialization process of the RAM 203, the process proceeds to S110.

  On the other hand, if the RAM erasure switch 122 is not turned on (S104: No), the information on occurrence of power interruption is stored (S105: Yes), and the RAM judgment value (checksum value etc.) is normal ( S107: Yes), the information on the occurrence of power interruption is cleared while the backed up data is held in the RAM 203 (S108). Next, a payout return command at the time of power recovery for returning the sub-side control device (peripheral control device) to the gaming state at the time of driving power interruption is transmitted (S109), and the process proceeds to S110. When the payout control device 111 receives this payout return command, the payout control device 111 is in a state where the payout control of the game ball can be started while holding the data stored in the RAM 213. In the process of S110, the interruption is permitted and the process proceeds to a main process described later.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 12, the main process executed after the above-described startup process will be described. FIG. 12 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. In this main process, the main process of the game is executed. As an outline, each process of S201 to S206 is executed as a periodic process with a period of 4 ms, and the counter update process of S209 and S210 is executed in the remaining time.

  In the main process, first, output data such as a command updated in the previous process is transmitted to each control device (peripheral control device) on the sub-side (S201). Specifically, the presence / absence of winning detection information detected in the switch reading process of S501 is determined, and if there is winning detection information, a winning ball command corresponding to the number of acquired balls is transmitted to the payout control device 111. In addition, by this external output process, a variation pattern command, a stop symbol command, a stop command, an effect time addition command, etc. necessary for the third symbol variation display by the third symbol display device 81 are transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113. Further, when launching a sphere, a sphere launch signal is transmitted to the launch controller 112.

  Next, each value of the variation type counters CS1, CS2, CS3 is updated (S202). Specifically, the variation type counters CS1, CS2, CS3 are incremented by 1, and are cleared to 0 when their counter values reach the maximum value (198, 240, 162 in this embodiment). Then, the update values of the variation type counters CS 1, CS 2 and CS 3 are stored in the corresponding buffer area of the RAM 203.

  When the update of the variation type counters CS1, CS2 and CS3 is completed, the winning ball counting signal and the payout abnormality signal received from the payout control device 111 are read (S203), and the process for displaying on the first symbol display device 37 is performed. A variation process for setting a variation pattern of the third symbol and the like by the three symbol display device 81 is executed (S204). Details of the variation process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  After the end of the variation process, a large opening opening / closing process for opening or closing the specific winning opening (large opening) 65a of the variable winning device 65 is executed in the case of the big win state (S205). That is, the specific winning opening 65a is opened for each round of the big hit state, and it is determined whether the maximum opening time of the specific winning opening 65a has elapsed or whether a specified number of balls have won the specific winning opening 65a. When any of these conditions is met, the specific winning opening 65a is closed. The opening and closing of the specific winning opening 65a is repeated for a predetermined number of rounds.

  Next, a display control process of the second symbol (for example, the symbol “◯” or “x”) by the second symbol display device 82 is executed (S206). Briefly, on the condition that the ball has passed through the second entrance (through gate) 67, the value of the second random number counter C4 is acquired at the timing of the passage, and the second symbol display device 82 is obtained. In the display unit 83, the second symbol variation display is performed. Then, the lottery of the second symbol is performed according to the value of the second winning random number counter C4, and when the winning state of the second symbol is reached, the electric accessory attached to the first entrance 64 is released for a predetermined time.

  Thereafter, it is determined whether or not the power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S207). If the power failure occurrence information is not stored in the RAM 203 (S207: No), a power failure signal is output from the power failure monitoring circuit 252. SG1 is not output and the power supply is not shut off. Therefore, in such a case, it is determined whether or not the execution timing of the next main process has been reached, that is, whether or not a predetermined time (4 ms in the present embodiment) has elapsed since the start of the previous main process (S208). If the predetermined time has already elapsed (S208: Yes), the process proceeds to S201, and the processes after S201 described above are repeatedly executed.

  On the other hand, if the predetermined time has not yet elapsed since the start of the previous main process (S208: No), the first time is reached until the predetermined time, that is, within the remaining time until the next main process execution timing. The updating of the initial value random number counter CINI1, the second initial value random number counter CINI2, and the variation type counters CS1, CS2, and CS3 is repeatedly executed (S209, S210).

  First, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S209). Specifically, 1 is added to the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2, and when the counter value reaches the maximum value (738, 250 in this embodiment), it is cleared to 0. To do. Then, the updated values of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are stored in the corresponding buffer areas of the RAM 203, respectively.

  Next, the fluctuation type counters CS1, CS2, and CS3 are updated (S210). Specifically, the variation type counters CS1, CS2, CS3 are incremented by 1, and are cleared to 0 when their counter values reach the maximum value (198, 240, 162 in this embodiment). Then, the update values of the variation type counters CS1, CS2, and CS3 are stored in the corresponding buffer areas of the RAM 203, respectively.

  Here, since the execution time of each process of S201-S206 changes according to the state of the game, the remaining time until the next main process execution timing is not constant and varies. Therefore, by repeatedly performing the update of the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 using the remaining time, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 (that is, , The initial value of the first per-random number counter C1 and the initial value of the second per-random number counter C4) can be updated at random. Similarly, the variation type counters CS1, CS2, and CS3 can be updated at random.

  In the process of S207, if the power failure occurrence information is stored in the RAM 203 (S207: Yes), the power failure is caused by the occurrence of a power failure or the power is turned off, and the power failure monitoring circuit 252 outputs the power failure signal SG1. As a result, since the NMI interrupt process of FIG. 17 has been executed, the power-off process after S211 is executed. First, the generation of each interrupt process is prohibited (S211), and a power-off command indicating that the power has been cut off is sent to other control devices (peripheral control devices such as the payout control device 111 and the voice lamp control device 113). (S212). Then, the RAM determination value is calculated and stored (S213), access to the RAM 203 is prohibited (S214), and the infinite loop is continued until the power supply is completely shut down and the process cannot be executed. Here, the RAM determination value is, for example, a checksum value in the stack area and work area to be backed up in the RAM 203.

  Note that the processing of S207 is performed at the timing when the series of processing corresponding to the game state change performed in S201 to S206 is completed, or at the end of one cycle of the processing of S209 and S210 performed within the remaining time. It is running. Therefore, in the main process of the main controller 110, the occurrence information of the power supply interruption is confirmed at the timing when each setting is completed. Therefore, when returning from the power interruption state, the process is performed after the start-up process is completed. It can start from the process of S201. That is, the process can be started from the process of S201 as in the case where the process is initialized in the startup process. Therefore, in the process at power-off, the stack pointer is not stored in the initial setting process (S101) without saving the contents of each register used by the MPU 201 to the stack area or saving the value of the stack pointer. By setting to a predetermined value (initial value), it is possible to start from the process of S201. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the control burden on the main control device 110 and to perform accurate control without causing the main control device 110 to malfunction or run away.

  Next, the variation process (S204) will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 13 is a flowchart showing the variation process (S204) executed in the main process (see FIG. 12). In this variation process, first, it is determined whether or not a big hit is currently being made (S301). The jackpot includes the jackpot game displayed on the third symbol display device 81 and the first symbol display device 37 in the jackpot and the middle of a predetermined time after the jackpot game ends. As a result of the determination, if it is a big hit (S301: Yes), this processing is terminated as it is.

  If it is not a big hit (S301: No), it is determined whether or not the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is changing (S302), and if the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is not changing. (S302: No), it is determined whether or not the number N of active suspension balls is greater than 0 (S303). If the number N of active balls is 0 (S303: No), this process is terminated as it is. If the number of the operation hold balls N> 0 (S303: Yes), the operation hold ball number N is decremented by 1 (S304), and the data stored in the hold ball storage area is shifted (S305). This data shift process is a process of sequentially shifting the data stored in the reserved first to fourth areas of the reserved ball storage area to the execution area side, and the reserved first area → execution area, reserved second area → The data in each area is shifted such as the first hold area, the third hold area → the second hold area, the fourth hold area → the third hold area. After the data shift process, the fluctuation start process of the first symbol display device 37 is executed (S306). The variation start process will be described later with reference to FIG.

  In the process of S302, if it is determined that the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is changing (S302: Yes), it is determined whether or not the change time has elapsed (S307). The display time during fluctuation of the first symbol display device 37 is determined according to the fluctuation pattern selected by the fluctuation type counters CS1 and CS2 and the addition time selected by the fluctuation type counter CS3. If it has not elapsed (S307: No), the display of the first symbol display device 37 is updated (S308).

  In the present embodiment, among the LEDs 37a of the first symbol display device 37, for example, if the currently lit LED is red until the variation time elapses after the variation starts, the red LED is Turn off and turn on the green LED. If the green LED is on, turn off the green LED and turn on the blue LED. If the blue LED is on, turn on the blue LED. A display mode is set for turning off the red LED and turning on the red LED.

  Note that the variation process is executed every 4 ms, but if the LED lighting color is changed every time the variation process is executed, the player cannot confirm the change in the LED lighting color. Therefore, a counter (not shown) is counted once each time the variation process is executed so that the player can confirm the change in the lighting color of the LED. Change the lighting color of. That is, the lighting color of the LED is changed every 0.4 s. The counter value is reset to 0 when the lighting color of the LED is changed.

  On the other hand, if the variation time of the first symbol display device 37 has elapsed (S307: Yes), a display mode corresponding to the stop symbol of the first symbol display device 37 is set (S309). Whether or not the stop symbol is set is determined according to the value of the first random number counter C1, and if it is a big hit, the symbol that becomes a high probability state after the big hit by the value of the first hit type counter C2 Or a symbol that is in a low probability state is determined. In this embodiment, a red LED is turned on when a high probability state is reached after a big hit, a green LED is turned on when a low probability state is reached, and a blue LED is turned on when it is out of place. . In addition, although the lighting of each LED is released when the next fluctuation display is started, it may be turned on only for a few seconds after the fluctuation stops.

  When the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 corresponding to the stop symbol is set in the processing of S309, the variation stop of the third symbol display device 81 is stopped to synchronize with the lighting of the LED in the first symbol display device 37. A command is set (S310). When the sound lamp control device 113 receives this stop command, it instructs the display control device 114 to stop. When the variation time elapses, the third symbol display device 81 stops the variation, and receives the stop command, whereby one variation effect in the third symbol display device 81 ends.

  Next, the variation start process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a flowchart showing the change start process (S306) executed in the change process (see FIG. 13). In the variation start process (S306), first, it is determined whether or not a big hit is made based on the value of the first hit random number counter C1 stored in the execution area of the reserved ball storage area (S401). Whether or not it is a big hit is determined based on the relationship between the value of the first random number counter C1 and the mode at that time. As described above, “373,727” is a winning value among the numerical values 0 to 738 of the first random number counter C1 at the normal low probability, and “59, 109, 163, 211, 263, 317, 367, "421,479,523,631,683,733" is the winning value.

  When it is determined that it is a big hit (S401: Yes), the value of the first hit type counter C2 stored in the execution area of the reserved ball storage area is confirmed, and the display mode for the big hit is set (S402). ). In the process of S402, based on the value of the first hit type counter C2, whether to shift to the high probability state or shift to the low probability state after the big hit is set. When the transition state after the big hit is set, the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 (the lighting state of the LED 37a) is set. Further, based on the transition state after the jackpot, the jackpot stop symbol stopped and displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is set by the sound lamp control device 113 and the display control device 114. That is, the stop symbol in the third symbol display device 81 is set by setting the transition state after the big hit by the process of S402. Of the numerical values 0 to 4 of the first hit type counter C2, when “0, 4”, the state shifts to the low probability state, and when “1, 2, 3”, the state shifts to the high probability state. .

  Next, a variation pattern at the time of jackpot is determined (S403). When the variation pattern is set in the process of S403, the display time of the first symbol display device 37 is set and the variation time of the third symbol until the third symbol display device 81 stops at the jackpot symbol is determined. The At this time, the values of the fluctuation type counters CS1 and CS2 stored in the counter buffer of the RAM 203 are confirmed, and rough symbol fluctuations such as normal reach, super reach, premium reach, etc. are determined based on the value of the first fluctuation type counter CS1. In addition to determining the variation time, the variation time (in other words, the number of variation symbols) until the last stop symbol (in this embodiment, the middle symbol Z2) stops after the occurrence of reach is determined based on the value of the second variation type counter CS2. decide.

  The relationship between the numerical value of the first variation type counter CS1 and the variation time, and the relationship between the numerical value of the second variation type counter CS2 and the variation time are respectively defined in advance by a table or the like. However, the fluctuation time can be set using only the value of the first fluctuation type counter CS1 without using the value of the second fluctuation type counter CS2, and can be set only with the value of the first fluctuation type counter CS1. Whether or not to set with both values of both variation type counters CS1 and CS2 is appropriately determined according to the value of the first variation type counter CS1 and the game conditions each time.

  If it is determined in the process of S401 that it is not a big hit (S401: No), the display mode at the time of disconnection is set (S404). In the process of S404, the display mode of the first symbol display device 37 is set to the display mode corresponding to the off symbol, and based on the value of the stop pattern selection counter C3 stored in the execution area of the reserved ball storage area, An effect to be displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is set to indicate whether the reach is front / rear out of reach, reach other than front / rear out, or complete out. In the present embodiment, as described above, the range of values corresponding to each stop pattern of the stop pattern selection counter C3 depends on whether the state is a high probability state, a low probability state, and the operation suspension number N. Different tables are set up.

  Next, the variation pattern at the time of detachment is determined (S405), the display time of the first symbol display device 37 is set, and the variation time of the third symbol until the third symbol display device 81 stops at the detachment symbol. Is determined. At this time, as in the process of S403, the values of the variation type counters CS1 and CS2 stored in the counter buffer of the RAM 203 are confirmed, and the normal reach, super reach, and premium reach are determined based on the value of the first variation type counter CS1. In addition, the fluctuation time (in other words, the middle symbol Z2 in the present embodiment) is stopped after the reach has occurred based on the value of the second fluctuation type counter CS2 For example, the number of fluctuation symbols) is determined.

  When the process of S403 or the process of S405 is completed, the effect time to be added to or subtracted from the variation time determined by the first and second type counters CS1 and CS2 is determined (S406). At this time, the addition / subtraction of effect time is determined based on the value of the third type counter CS3 stored in the counter buffer of the RAM 203, the display time of the first symbol display device 37 is set, and the third symbol display The variation time of the device 81 is set. In the present embodiment, the effect time addition / subtraction is determined according to the value of the third variation type counter CS3 when the variation display time is not changed and when the variation display time is added for one second, the variation display time is set to 2 In the case of adding seconds, four types of addition values are determined for the case of subtracting 1 second from the variable display time.

  In addition, when the variable display time is added or subtracted, a notice effect that increases the expected value of the jackpot on the third symbol display device 81 (for example, a slip effect that causes the change time of the variable symbol to be longer than usual and is accompanied by a slip) An effect of displaying a notice character is produced, for example, an effect of making the change time of one change symbol shorter than usual and stopping it immediately). In addition, when the value of the first random number counter C1 is a big hit, the probability that an added value of 2 seconds is selected is set high, so that the player expects a big hit by confirming the notice effect. Can do.

  Next, a variation pattern command is set according to the variation pattern (variation time) determined in S403 or S405 (S407), and a stop symbol command is set according to the stop symbol set in S402 or S404. (S408). Then, an effect time addition command is set according to the added value of the effect time determined in the process of S406 (S409), and the process returns to the variation process.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in the open state and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in the conductive state (see FIG. 5B), the frame open detection is performed. The circuit 260 supplies a current to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261 until about 10 ms elapses after the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened (for about 10 ms). Then, a current is supplied to the primary light emitting diode of the photocoupler PR1 provided on the external output terminal plate 261 via the resistor R7, and the light emitting diode emits light for about 10 ms. When the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 receives light from the light emitting diode, the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 has a pulse width of about 10 ms of received light. Is changed to a pulse signal (electrical signal) of about 10 ms, and the pulse signal is output to the hall computer 262. The output pulse signal is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, by using the frame opening detection circuit 260 and the external output terminal board 261, the hall computer 262 can memorize that the inner frame 12 has been opened or the front frame 14 has been opened. The hall computer 262 continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the frame opening detection circuit 260 detects the time when the pulse signal is output from the external output terminal board 261 and the time when the pulse signal is output, that is, the time when the inner frame 12 is opened and the front frame 14 is opened. 262 can be stored.

  In addition, since the frame opening detection circuit 260 is provided with the 0.1-F capacitor CD1, the frame opening detection circuit 260 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine 10, and the DC voltage of 12 volts from the DC power supply DC1. Of course, for example, the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is cut off, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1. Even if it is not, the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 can be detected. Thus, for example, even when the game hall is closed and power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is interrupted, a pulse signal with a pulse width of about 10 ms is output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262. can do.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 18 and 19. The pachinko machine of the second embodiment is obtained by changing the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment to a frame opening detection circuit 270 having another configuration. The frame opening detection circuit 270 of the second embodiment has a simplified circuit configuration compared to the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment. Specifically, the frame opening detection circuit 270 of the second embodiment removes the timer IC1, resistors R1 to R3, and capacitors CD3 to CD5 from the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment, and the capacitor CD1 has a different capacity. The circuit configuration is simplified by changing to the capacitor CD6 and changing the connection of each component.

  According to the frame open detection circuit 270 of the second embodiment, a high signal whose output period varies according to the open period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be output to the hall computer 262. Alternatively, in addition to being able to detect the opening of the front frame 14, it is also possible to detect the opening period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14.

  FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the frame opening detection circuit 270 of the second embodiment. In addition, the same number is attached | subjected to the part same as the frame open | release detection circuit 260 of 1st Embodiment mentioned above in FIG. 7, the description is abbreviate | omitted, and only a different part is demonstrated.

  The capacitor CD6 is obtained by changing the capacitance of the capacitor CD1 used in the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment from 0.1 F (Farad) to 1F (Farad). The capacitor CD6 is a component that functions as a rechargeable battery like the capacitor CD1 of the frame open detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment. One end of the capacitor CD6 is connected to the cathode of the diode D1, and the other end of the capacitor CD6 is grounded. Yes.

  Similarly to the capacitor CD1 (see FIG. 7), the capacitor CD6 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine according to the second embodiment, and when a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, It is obtained by the product of the capacitance 1F of the capacitor CD6 and the DC voltage applied to the capacitor CD6 (approximately 11.3 volts obtained by subtracting 0.7 volts from the diode D1 from 12 volts supplied from the DC power supply DC1). Stores charge.

  On the other hand, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is cut off, and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the capacitor CD6 is Then, a DC voltage (about 11.3 volts) based on the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD6 is supplied to the frame open detection circuit 270 and the external output terminal plate 261.

  Specifically, the capacitor CD6 has a capacitance of 1F (farad), and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD6 is approximately 11.3 volts. Therefore, the charge stored in the capacitor CD6 is equal to the capacitance of the capacitor CD6 and the capacitance of the capacitor CD6. It becomes about 11.3 C (coulomb) from the product of the applied voltage. The charge of about 11.3 C stored in the capacitor CD6 is about 10 minutes in the output period of the high signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262. Therefore, for example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is shut off, and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, Until the total output period of the high signal output from the output terminal plate 261 reaches about 10 minutes, the frame opening detection circuit 270 can detect the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. The frame opening detection circuit 270 can also detect the opening period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. When the total output period of opening the inner frame 12 or opening the front frame 14 approaches about 10 minutes, the charge stored in the capacitor CD6 decreases, and the current value supplied from the capacitor CD6 to the photocoupler PR1 decreases. However, the high signal can be stored in the hall computer 262 by increasing the detection sensitivity of the high signal of the hall computer 262 (by lowering the threshold for the amplitude of the high signal).

  In this way, when the power is supplied to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, it operates as a matter of course. Even when the power supply to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is shut off and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the frame opening detection circuit 270 has 1F ( Since the Farad capacitor CD6 is provided, the frame opening detection circuit 270 can detect the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14. Note that the cathode terminal of the diode D1 is connected to one end of the capacitor CD6, and this diode D1 performs a function of preventing the backflow of current. Therefore, a direct current is passed from the capacitor CD6 to the open frame detection circuit 270 and the external output terminal plate 261. Even when a voltage (about 11.3 volts) is supplied, the DC voltage is not applied to the DC power source DC1, and the DC power source DC1 is not damaged. In the present embodiment, the capacitor CD6 is used as a component for supplying a DC voltage to the open frame detection circuit 270 and the external output terminal plate 261 when a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power source DC1. . However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the capacitor CD6 may be a secondary battery (rechargeable battery) with a larger amount of stored electricity or a primary battery that does not require charging.

  One end of the capacitor CD6 is connected to one ends of the switch SW1 and the switch SW2, and is also connected to one end of the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261. One end of a resistor R9 is connected to the other ends of the switch SW1 and the switch SW2. The other end of the resistor R9 is connected to one end of the capacitor CD2, one end of the resistor R4, and one end of the internal resistor R5 of the transistor TR1.

  With this connection, either the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 (one of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14) or both the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in a conductive state (both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are open). During a certain period, since a DC voltage is supplied to the resistor R4, the collector terminal c of the transistor TR1 and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 are electrically connected. Then, during this period, current is supplied to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 through the resistor R7 of the external output terminal plate 261. Thereby, one of the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 (one of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14) or both the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in a conductive state (both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are in an open state). ) During the period, a high signal is output from the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 to the hall computer 262. Therefore, according to the frame opening detection circuit 270 of the second embodiment, since the frame opening detection circuit 270 is provided with the 1F (Farad) capacitor CD6, the power supply to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment can be performed. Even when the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power source DC1, the high output signal whose output period varies according to the open period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is output to the external output terminal plate 261. To the hall computer 262. Therefore, in addition to being able to detect the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, it is also possible to detect the opening period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. The hall computer 262 continues to operate for 24 hours. Accordingly, the frame opening detection circuit 270 is configured to output the high signal from the external output terminal board 261 and the time at which the high signal is output, that is, the opening time of the inner frame 12 and the opening time of the front frame 14 is also the hall computer. 262 can be stored.

  Furthermore, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 10 is interrupted, and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1 to the frame opening detection circuit 270 and the external output terminal plate 261. That is, when a DC voltage of about 11.3 volts is supplied from the capacitor CD6 to the frame open detection circuit 270 and the external output terminal plate 261, the supply period of the current supplied from the capacitor CD6 to the photocoupler PR1 is set as follows. 12 or the period when the front frame 14 is opened. Therefore, power consumption due to the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be reduced.

  For example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off, and the DC voltage is supplied from the capacitor CD6 to the frame opening detection circuit 270 and the external output terminal plate 261, the inner frame 12 or when the total supply period of the current from the capacitor CD6 to the photocoupler PR1 due to the opening of the front frame 14 is increased or the number of times of detecting the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is increased. (For example, the capacity of the capacitor CD6 is set to 10F), or the capacitor CD6 may be changed to a secondary battery with a large amount of charge.

  Next, referring to FIG. 19, the voltage (A) of the frame open detection circuit 270 changes according to the state of the switch SW1 (the state of the inner frame 12) and the state of the switch SW2 (the state of the front frame 14). 18) and the output of the external output terminal board 261 (input of the hall computer 262) will be described. FIG. 19 shows the state of the switch SW1 (the state of the inner frame 12), the state of the switch SW2 (the state of the front frame 14), the voltage A of the frame open detection circuit 270, and the output of the external output terminal plate 261 (of the hall computer 262). 6 is a timing chart showing the relationship of input). Each time from t1 to t8 shown in FIG. 19 is the same as each time from t1 to t8 shown in the timing chart of the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, when the switch SW1 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in an open state) at t1, the frame open detection circuit 270 follows this, as shown in FIG. 19C. The voltage of A (see FIG. 18) switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts (at time t1). Then, as shown in FIG. 19 (d), the output of the secondary light receiving element (phototransistor) of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the low state to the high state (t1). Time). As a result, output of a high signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the switch SW1 is in the cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed) at t2, as shown in FIG. 19C, the voltage of A of the frame open detection circuit 270 is obtained. Switches from about 11.3 volts to zero volts (at t2). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 19D, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state (at time t2).

  The switching of the output of the external output terminal plate 261 becomes a high signal, and the high signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 from time t1 to time t2. That is, a high signal that is an output period from t1 to t2 is output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 19 (a), when the switch SW1 becomes conductive (the inner frame 12 is in the open state) at t3, the frame opens as shown in FIG. 19 (c). The voltage of A in the detection circuit 270 (see FIG. 18) switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts (at time t3). Then, as shown in FIG. 19D, the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the low state to the high state (t3). Time). As a result, output of a high signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  Then, as shown in FIG. 19A, when the switch SW1 is in the cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed) at t4, as shown in FIG. Switches from about 11.3 volts to zero volts (at t4). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 19D, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state (at time t4).

  The switching of the output of the external output terminal plate 261 becomes a high signal, and the high signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 from t3 to t4. That is, a high signal having an output period from t3 to t4 is output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262.

  Finally, a case will be described where the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (the front frame 14 is in an open state) when the switch SW1 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in an open state). As shown in FIG. 19A, at time t5, the switch SW1 becomes conductive (inner frame 12 is open), and as shown in FIG. 19B, at time t6, switch SW2 becomes conductive (front surface). When the frame 14 is in the open state), as shown in FIG. 19C, the voltage A (see FIG. 18) of the frame open detection circuit 270 switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts at t5. Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 19D, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the low state to the high state as shown in FIG. 19D (at time t5). As a result, output of a high signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  As shown in FIG. 19 (a), at time t7, the switch SW1 is in the cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed), and as shown in FIG. 19 (b), at time t8, the switch SW2 is in the cut-off state. When the front frame 14 is in the closed state, as shown in FIG. 19C, the voltage of A in the frame open detection circuit 270 switches from zero volts to about 11.3 volts at t8. Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 19D, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state (at time t8).

  The switching of the output of the external output terminal plate 261 becomes a high signal, and the high signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 from t5 to t8. That is, a high signal having an output period from t5 to t8 is output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262.

  As described above, when the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are in the conductive state (the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are in the open state), the frame open detection circuit 270 has either the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 in the conductive state (the inner frame 12). 12 until the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are both shut off (both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed). A high signal can be output from the output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262. Therefore, in addition to being able to detect the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 from when either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened. It is possible to detect the open period until the closed state.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment, the frame opening detection circuit 270 is provided with the 1F (farad) capacitor CD6, so that the power supply to the pachinko machine of the second embodiment is cut off. Even when a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power source DC1, the frame open detection circuit 270 generates a high signal whose output period varies depending on the open period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. The data can be output to the hall computer 262. In addition, when the high signal is output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 and the output period of the output high signal is stored, the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be detected. In addition to being able to detect, the opening period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can also be detected. The high signal output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the pachinko machine in which the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened can be specified by the high signal stored in the hall computer 262. Further, the hall computer 262 outputs a high signal from the external output terminal board 261 and stores the output time of the output high signal, thereby enabling the opening time or front surface of the specified inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine to be stored. The opening time of the frame 14 can also be detected.

  Next, a pachinko machine according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine of the third embodiment is obtained by changing the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment to a frame opening detection circuit 280 having another configuration. The frame opening detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment has a simplified circuit configuration compared to the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment. Specifically, the frame opening detection circuit 280 according to the third embodiment removes the resistor R2, the capacitors CD4 and CD5 from the frame opening detection circuit 260 according to the first embodiment, and the resistor R1, the capacitor CD3, the resistor R7, and the switch SW1. And the connection of the switch SW2, the timer IC1 is made to function as a monostable multivibrator, and the integrating circuit 281 including the resistor 10 and the capacitor CD7 is connected to the preceding stage of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 to thereby form a circuit configuration. Is simplified. Then, the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment is outputted from the frame open detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment from the mode of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 and the OUT terminal of the timer IC1. The mode of voltage is changed.

  According to the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment, the integration circuit 281 makes the falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1 constant regardless of the open period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. By setting the period (about 2 ms), the falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is made longer than the period (about 10 ms) in which a voltage of about 9.6 volts is output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1. Can be adjusted short. Therefore, regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, the supply period of the current supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 is limited to about 10 ms per opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. be able to. Therefore, the frame opening detection circuit 280 can simplify the circuit configuration as compared with the frame opening detection circuit 260, and can keep the period during which a voltage of about 9.6 volts is output from the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 to about 10 ms. Thus, the power consumption due to the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be further reduced as compared with the frame opening detection circuit 260.

  FIG. 20 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the frame opening detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment. In addition, the same number is attached | subjected to the part same as the frame open | release detection circuit 260 of 1st Embodiment mentioned above in FIG. 7, the description is abbreviate | omitted, and only a different part is demonstrated.

  When the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, one end of the capacitor CD1 that supplies the DC voltage to the frame open detection circuit 280 and the external output terminal plate 261 is: It is connected to one end of a 100 kΩ resistor R10, and is connected to the VDD terminal of the timer IC1, one end of a 100 KΩ resistor R1a, the RES terminal of the timer IC1, and one end of a 1 KΩ resistor R7a.

  The other end of the resistor R1a is connected to one end of a 0.1 μF capacitor CD3a and to the DCH terminal of the timer IC1 and the TH terminal of the timer IC1. The other end of the capacitor CD3a is grounded. Due to the connection between the capacitor CD3a and the resistor R1a, the timer IC1 opens the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14, whereby the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is increased. When it falls to zero volts, it functions as a monostable multivibrator that raises the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 from zero volts to about 9.6 volts for about 10 ms. Note that about 10 ms, which is a period for raising the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 from zero volts to about 9.6 volts, is the product of the resistance value of the resistor R1a (100 kΩ) and the capacitance value of the capacitor CD3a (0.1 μF). It is determined by a certain time constant.

  The resistor R10 is a resistor that stabilizes the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, and that constitutes the integrating circuit 281 with the capacitor CD7. The other end of the resistor R10 is connected to the anode terminal of the diode D2, the cathode terminal of the diode D2 is connected to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, and a Zener whose limiting voltage (zener voltage) is about 10.5 volts. The cathode terminal of the diode D3 is connected to one end of each of the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 connected in parallel. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed and the switches SW1 and SW2 are cut off, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is about 11.3 volts supplied from the capacitor CD1. Is approximately 10.3 volts obtained by subtracting approximately 0.3 volts of the voltage drop at the resistor R10 and approximately 0.7 volts of the voltage drop at the diode D2.

  The 0.02 μF capacitor CD7 constitutes an integration circuit 281 with the resistor R10, and controls the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. One end of the capacitor CD7 is connected to the other end of each of the switch SW1 and the switch SW2, and the other end of the capacitor CD7 is grounded. The integrating circuit 281 composed of the capacitor CD7 and the resistor R10 is applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or SW2 is turned on. This is a circuit that lowers the voltage of about 10.3 volts to zero volts and returns the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 to about 10.3 volts again about 2 ms after the fall.

  Specifically, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on in response to the opening, a voltage of about 10.3 volts supplied from the capacitor CD1 is applied to the capacitor CD7. Application is started, and charging of the capacitor CD7 is started. At the start of charging, the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 instantaneously becomes zero volts, so that the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 instantaneously becomes zero volts. As the capacitor CD7 is charged, the capacitor CD7 increases the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, and finally controls the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 to about 10.3 volts. It is.

  It should be noted that the period until the capacitor CD7 is fully charged, that is, the voltage of about 10.3 volts applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts, and from the fall, the voltage of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 becomes Again, about 2 ms, which is a period until returning to about 10.3 volts, is determined by a time constant which is a product of the resistance value of the resistor R10 (100 kΩ) and the capacitance value of the capacitor CD7 (0.02 μF).

  Thus, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls, and the integration circuit 281 has a period (about 2 ms) until the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 returns to about 10.3 volts after the fall. Thus, regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14, the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 is adjusted to a period shorter than the period (about 10 ms) rising from zero volts to about 9.6 volts. Note that the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls after changing the resistance value of the resistor R10 and the capacitance value of the capacitor CD7, and then the voltage of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is about 10.3 volts. It is possible to freely change the period until the voltage returns to (5) within about 10 ms, which is the period until the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volt to about 9.6 volt.

  Here, the monostable multivibrator does not normally output a signal from the output terminal unless the input period of the signal input to the input terminal is shorter than the output period of the signal output from the output terminal (from the output terminal). Signal continues to be output). For this reason, when the timer IC1 is made to function as a monostable multivibrator without using the integration circuit 281, the timer IC1 is more effective than the period in which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts. The period until the TRG terminal voltage returns to about 10.3 volts again from zero volts, that is, the open period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 (the conduction period of the switches SW1 and SW2) must be short. However, since the open period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 is completely unpredictable, the inner frame 12 and the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are longer than the period in which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts. In order to always shorten the opening period of the front frame 14, it is necessary to set a period in which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts with a sufficient margin. For example, if the opening period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 is predicted to be several tens of seconds to several minutes, the period during which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts is sufficient. It must be set from several minutes to several tens of minutes. Then, since the DC voltage is continuously supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the frame opening detection circuit 280 and the external output terminal plate 261 during the set period, the consumption of the capacitor CD1 becomes significant. Therefore, a special circuit configuration is required to make the timer IC1 function as a monostable multivibrator without using the integration circuit 281 and to further suppress the consumption of the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1. there were.

  However, by providing the integration circuit 281 in front of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the timer IC1 regardless of the open period (the conduction period of the switch SW1 and the switch SW2). The period until the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts again and returns to about 10.3 volts is adjusted to be shorter than the period when the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts can do. In this way, by setting the falling period of the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 to a certain period (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14, the integration circuit 281 makes the timer IC1 normal. The time period during which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts can be kept at about 10 ms.

  When the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts for about 10 ms, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 conduct for about 10 ms, and through the resistor R7a, A current is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 for about 10 ms. Thus, a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 for each opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. As described above, even if the timer IC1 is made to function as a monostable multivibrator, by providing the integration circuit 281 in front of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, the consumption of the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 is suppressed, Without adopting a simple circuit configuration, the output period of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 can be limited to about 10 ms.

  The TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is connected to the cathode terminal of a Zener diode D3 having a limit voltage (zener voltage) of about 10.5 volts, and the ground is connected to the anode terminal of the Zener diode D3. In the Zener diode D3, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 and the voltage supplied from the capacitor CD1 are superimposed. This is an element that prevents an overvoltage (for example, a voltage of 12.3 volts) that can break the timer IC1 from being applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. Specifically, the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, and the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is regained again within a relatively short period of time. 14 is opened, and when the switch SW1 or SW2 is turned on, the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is discharged from the other end side to the one end side. The voltage of about 10.3 volts discharged from the capacitor CD7 and the voltage of about 10.3 volts supplied from the capacitor CD1 are superimposed, and an overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1 is applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. Can be applied. However, since a Zener diode D3 having a limit voltage (zener voltage) of about 10.5 volts is connected between the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 and the ground, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 The maximum value is about 10.5 volts, and an overvoltage that destroys the timer IC1 is not applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. In this way, by using the Zener diode D3 that has a simple configuration and is inexpensive, it is possible to prevent an overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1 from being applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, and to prevent damage to the timer IC1. it can.

  As described above, the limit pressure reduction (zener voltage) of the Zener diode D3 is about 10.5 volts, so that the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are closed and the switch SW1 and the switch SW2 are shut off. In this case, the current supplied from the capacitor CD1 does not flow to the ground via the Zener diode D3, and the charge of the capacitor CD1 is not consumed. In addition, the cathode terminal of the diode D2 is connected to one end of the switch SW1 and the switch SW2, and this diode D2 exhibits a function of preventing the backflow of current. Is applied to the VDD terminal of the capacitor CD1 and the timer IC1, and they are not damaged.

  As described above, in the timer IC1 of the frame open detection circuit 280, the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts. Then, it functions as a monostable multivibrator that raises the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 from zero volts to about 9.6 volts for about 10 ms from the fall. Further, by providing an integration circuit 281 in front of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the timer IC1 is connected regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14. Adjust the period from when the voltage applied to the TRG terminal falls to zero volts until it returns to about 10.3 volts, shorter than the period when the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts Can do. As described above, by setting the falling period of the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 to a fixed period (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 by the integration circuit 281, a monostable multivibrator is obtained. The functioning timer IC1 can be operated normally, and the period during which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts can be kept at about 10 ms. As a result, the period during which the current is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 can be kept at about 10 ms, and the output period of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms. it can.

  Further, since the frame opening detection circuit 280 is provided with a 0.1-F capacitor CD1, the frame opening detection circuit 280 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1. If it is supplied, it will naturally operate. Further, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off, and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. Even so, the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 can be detected. When the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 is detected by the frame opening detection circuit 280, a pulse signal having a pulse width of about 10 ms is sent from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 for each detection. Can be output. The pulse signal output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the pachinko machine in which the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened can be specified by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262. Further, the hall computer 262 outputs a pulse signal from the external output terminal plate 261 and stores the output time of the output pulse signal so that the opening time of the identified inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine or the front surface The opening time of the frame 14 can be detected.

  The door opening detection circuit 280 uses the LMC 555 for the timer IC 1 to detect the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 and realizes a circuit for energizing the photocoupler PR1 for about 10 ms. It is not limited. That is, a circuit that generates one pulse signal for one opening of the inner frame 12 or one opening of the front frame 14 by using another integrated circuit or the like for the timer IC 1 is realized. Any device may be used as long as the photocoupler PR1 is energized for a predetermined period based on the pulse signal.

  Further, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off and the DC voltage is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the frame opening detection circuit 280 and the external output terminal plate 261, the inner frame 12 or when the total supply period of the current from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 due to the opening of the front frame 14 is increased or the number of times of detecting the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is increased. (For example, the capacity of the capacitor CD1 is set to 1F), or the capacitor CD1 may be changed to a secondary battery with a large amount of charge.

  Next, referring to FIG. 21, the TRG terminal voltage of timer IC1 that changes according to the state of switch SW1 (the state of inner frame 12) and the state of switch SW2 (the state of front frame 14), The relationship between the OUT terminal voltage and the output of the external output terminal plate 261 (input of the hall computer 262) will be described. FIG. 21 shows the state of the switch SW1 (the state of the inner frame 12), the state of the switch SW2 (the state of the front frame 14), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1, and the output of the external output terminal plate 261 ( 6 is a timing chart showing a relationship of inputs of the hall computer 262. Note that the times from t1 to t8 shown in FIG. 21 are the same as the times from t1 to t8 shown in the timing chart of the frame opening detection circuit 260 of the first embodiment shown in FIG. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, when the switch SW1 is in a conductive state (inner frame 12 is in an open state) at time t1, charging of the capacitor CD7 is started, and as shown in FIG. The TRG terminal voltage falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts (at time t1). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at time t1). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the open frame detection circuit 280 are made conductive, and current supply is started to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 (see FIG. 20). (At t1). Then, as shown in FIG. 21 (e), the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 is switched from the low state to the high state at t1. Change. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21 (c), when about 2 ms elapses from time t1, the charging of the capacitor CD7 is completed, and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 returns from zero volts to about 10.3 volts again. However, since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 has risen from zero volt to about 9.6 volts (from t1), about 10 ms have not elapsed, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapse from t1, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts as shown in FIG. Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the frame opening detection circuit 280 are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the external output terminal plate 261 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. 21 (e) when about 10 ms elapses from t1. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. In this way, by switching the output of the external output terminal plate 261, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, when the switch SW1 is in the cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed) at t2, the frame opening detection circuit 280 detects the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 again. Set to possible state.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21B, at time t3, when the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (the front frame 14 is in an open state), charging of the capacitor CD7 is started, and as shown in FIG. The TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts (at time t3). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at time t3). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the open frame detection circuit 280 are made conductive, and current supply is started to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 (see FIG. 20). (At t3). Then, as shown in FIG. 21 (e), the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 is switched from the low state to the high state at t3. Change. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  The electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 between time t1 and time t2 is instantaneously discharged through the zener diode D3 at time t3. The discharge period of the capacitor CD7 is a period that is much shorter than about 2 ms in which the voltage at the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is changed from about 10.3 volts to zero volts and is again about 10.3 volts. It does not significantly affect the voltage applied to the terminals. In addition to this discharge, the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 from t1 to t2 is also discharged by self-discharge of the capacitor CD7.

  At time t3, a voltage of about 10.3 volts supplied from the capacitor CD1 and a voltage of about 10.3 volts associated with the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 are superimposed on the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. An overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1 may be applied. However, since a Zener diode D3 having a limit voltage (zener voltage) of about 10.5 volts is connected to the preceding stage of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, the maximum value of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is The overvoltage which is about 10.5 volts and destroys the timer IC1 is not applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21C, when about 2 ms elapses from t3, the charging of the capacitor CD7 is completed, and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 returns from zero volts to about 10.3 volts again. However, since about 10 ms has not elapsed since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rose from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (from t3), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapses from t3, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts as shown in FIG. 21 (d). Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the frame opening detection circuit 280 are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the external output terminal plate 261 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. 21 (e) when about 10 ms elapses from t3. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. In this way, by switching the output of the external output terminal plate 261, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (b), when the switch SW2 is in a cut-off state (the front frame 14 is closed) at t4, the frame open detection circuit 280 detects the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 again. Set to possible state.

  Finally, a case will be described where the switch SW2 is in a conductive state (the front frame 14 is in an open state) when the switch SW1 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in an open state). As shown in FIG. 21 (a), at time t5, the switch SW1 becomes conductive (inner frame 12 is open), and as shown in FIG. 21 (b), at time t6, switch SW2 becomes conductive (front surface). When the frame 14 is in an open state), at time t5, charging of the capacitor CD7 is started, and as shown in FIG. 21C, the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts (t5). Time). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 21 (d), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at time t5). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the open frame detection circuit 280 are made conductive, and current supply is started to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 (see FIG. 20). (At t5). Then, as shown in FIG. 21E, the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 is switched from the low state to the high state at t5. Change. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 to the hall computer 262 is started.

  The charge stored in the capacitor CD7 between t3 and t4 has a significant effect on the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, since the discharge is instantaneously completed through the zener diode D3 at t5. is not. In addition to this discharge, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 from t3 to t4 is also discharged by self-discharge of the capacitor CD7.

  At t5, a voltage of about 10.3 volts supplied from the capacitor CD1 and a voltage of about 10.3 volts associated with the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 are superimposed on the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, An overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1 may be applied. However, since the maximum value of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is about 10.5 volts due to the Zener diode D3, an overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1 is applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. There is no.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 21C, when about 2 ms elapses from t5, the charging of the capacitor CD7 is completed, and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 returns from zero volts to about 10.3 volts again. However, since about 10 ms has not elapsed since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rose from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (from t5), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapses from t5, as shown in FIG. 21D, the timer IC1 switches the voltage of the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts. Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the frame opening detection circuit 280 are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the external output terminal plate 261 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the external output terminal plate 261 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. 21 (e) when about 10 ms elapses from t5. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. In this way, by switching the output of the external output terminal plate 261, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (a), at time t7, the switch SW1 is turned off (the inner frame 12 is closed), and as shown in FIG. 21 (b), at time t8, the switch SW2 is turned off. When the front frame 14 is in the closed state, the frame open detection circuit 280 is set again to a state in which the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 can be detected.

  As described above, even when the switch SW1 is in the conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in the open state) and the switch SW2 is in the conductive state (the front frame 14 is in the open state), the timer IC1 is in the conductive period of the switch SW1. Regardless of the (opening period of the inner frame 12) and the conduction period of the switch SW2 (opening period of the front frame 14), either the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in the conductive state (either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14). When the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts and about 10 ms elapses, the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is switched from about 9.6 volts to zero volts. Thereby, the supply period of the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1 of the external output terminal plate 261 is about 10 ms.

  Thus, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off, and no DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1 to the frame opening detection circuit 280 and the external output terminal plate 261, that is, When a DC voltage of about 10.3 volts is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the frame open detection circuit 280 and the external output terminal plate 261, the supply period of the current supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 is set as follows. Alternatively, the opening of the front frame 14 can be limited to about 10 ms. Therefore, power consumption due to the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be reduced.

  Here, since the capacitor CD1 has a capacitance of 0.1 F and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD1 is approximately 11.3 volts, the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 is the capacitance of the capacitor CD1 and the applied voltage of the capacitor CD1. From the product of this, it becomes about 1.13C (Coulomb). The charge of about 1.13C stored in the capacitor CD1 corresponds to about 500 times of current supply when the supply period of one time of the current supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 is about 10 ms. To do. Therefore, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the inner frame 12 is opened (the switch SW1 is turned on). ) Or the opening of the front frame 14 (the conduction of the switch SW2) is performed many times, the frame opening detection circuit 280 opens the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 (the conduction or switching of the switch SW1). SW2 conduction) can be reliably detected every time up to about 500 times, and a pulse signal can be output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262. At this time, when the opening of the inner frame 12 or the opening of the front frame 14 is about 500 times, the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD1 decreases, and the current value supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 decreases. By increasing the detection sensitivity of the pulse signal of the computer 262 (by reducing the threshold for the amplitude of the pulse signal), the pulse signal can be stored in the hall computer 262.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine of the third embodiment, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is in an open state and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is in a conductive state, the integrating circuit 281 Regardless of the open period of 12 or the front frame 14, the falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is set to a certain period (about 2 ms). Then, the timer IC1 functioning as a monostable multivibrator operates normally, and the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 is reduced from zero volts to about 10 ms after the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts. Raise to 9.6 volts. As a result, a current is supplied to the primary light emitting diode of the photocoupler PR1 provided on the external output terminal plate 261 via the resistor R7a, and the light emitting diode emits light for about 10 ms. When the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 receives light from the light emitting diode, the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1 has a pulse width of about 10 ms of received light. Is changed to a pulse signal (electrical signal) of about 10 ms, and the pulse signal is output to the hall computer 262. The output pulse signal is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, by using the frame opening detection circuit 280 provided with the integration circuit 281 and the external output terminal board 261, the hall computer 262 can memorize that the inner frame 12 has been opened or the front frame 14 has been opened. it can. The hall computer 262 continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the frame opening detection circuit 280 is configured so that the pulse signal is output from the external output terminal board 261, and the time when the pulse signal is output, that is, the opening time of the inner frame 12 and the opening time of the front frame 14 is also the hall computer. 262 can be stored.

  Further, since the frame opening detection circuit 280 is provided with a 0.1-F capacitor CD1, the frame opening detection circuit 280 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1. If it is supplied, it will naturally operate. Further, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off, and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. Even so, the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 can be detected. Therefore, for example, even when the game hall is closed and the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off, a pulse signal with a pulse width of about 10 ms is output from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262. be able to.

  In this embodiment, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, a pulse signal is output from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262. It is not limited to this. That is, when the connection of each component of the frame opening detection circuit 280 is changed, the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, and the opened inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is closed, the photocoupler PR1 is connected. A current may be supplied for about 10 ms to output a pulse signal from the external output terminal board 261 to the hall computer 262.

  However, in the frame open detection circuit 280 of this embodiment, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW1 or the switch SW2 is turned on, a pulse signal is sent from the external output terminal plate 261 to the hall computer 262. Therefore, the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be detected quickly. Therefore, the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be detected before the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened and an illegal act is performed on the main controller 110 or the game board 13. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an abnormal operation due to an illegal act that occurs when power is supplied to the pachinko machine.

  Next, a pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 to 32. In the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is When opened, the pachinko machine 500 is used to separately notify which one is opened, and the other is output to the hall computer 262 separately. On the other hand, the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment is, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine is shut off and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. Even if the control of the main control device 110 is stopped, when any of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 is opened, whichever is opened is separately output to the hall computer 262.

  Therefore, according to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, when a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, if either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, the inner frame The pachinko machine 500 can be used to separately notify whether there is 12 open, the front frame 14 open, or both open. Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, in addition to the case where a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, there is a case where a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. However, when either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, pulse signals can be separately output to the hall computer 262. Therefore, it is possible to identify whether the inner frame 12 has been opened, the front frame 14 has been opened, or both have been opened by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262.

  With reference to FIG. 22, the internal structure of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 22 is a perspective view of the pachinko machine 500 in a state where the inner frame 12, the front frame 14, and the lower dish unit 15 are opened. In the description of FIG. 22, the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment includes the switches SW1 (SW1a, SW1b) and SW2 (SW2a, SW2b) provided in the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. ) Is changed to switch SW3 and switch SW4. Therefore, the same parts as those of the pachinko machine 10 described above with reference to FIG. 4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and only different parts will be described.

  A switch SW3 for detecting opening and closing of the inner frame 12 is provided between the outer frame 11 and the inner frame 12, and between the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14, the opening of the front frame 14 and A switch SW4 for detecting closing is provided. With the switch SW3 and the switch SW4, the opening and closing of the inner frame 12 and the opening and closing of the front frame 14 can be detected separately.

  Next, the structure of the switch SW3 and the switch SW4 will be described with reference to FIG. Since the switch SW3 and the switch SW4 have the same structure, the structure of the switch SW3 will be described, and the description of the switch SW4 will be omitted.

  FIG. 23 is a cross-sectional view of the switch SW3. FIG. 23A is a cross-sectional view showing a state (cut-off state) of the switch SW3 in a state where the inner frame 12 is closed. FIG. 23B is a cross-sectional view showing a state (conductive state) of the switch SW3 in a state where the inner frame 12 is opened.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (a), the switch SW3 disposed on the surface of the outer frame 11 facing the inner frame 12 includes a movable shaft SW3a that contacts the closed state of the inner frame 12, and its movable shaft. Constructed from conductive plates SW3-1a and SW3-2a made of metal, which is a conductive member arranged in SW3a, and metals arranged in opposing positions of the conductive plates SW3-1a and SW3-2a. A pair of terminal plates SW3-1b, SW3-2b, a pair of terminal plates SW3-1b, SW3-2b, support plates SW3-1c, SW3-2c, and a conductor plate SW3, respectively. -2a is disposed on a surface opposite to the surface opposite to the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b, and generates a biasing force in the direction toward the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b with respect to the conductor plate SW3-2a. Spring SW3c It is provided. The conductor plate SW3-1a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-1b constitute a switch SW3-1, and the conductor plate SW3-2a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b constitute a switch SW3-2. Therefore, the switch SW3 includes two switches, a switch SW3-1 and a switch SW3-2.

  As shown in FIG. 23A, in a state where the inner frame 12 is closed, the movable shaft SW3a abuts on the inner frame 12, and the movable shaft SW3a is pushed into the housing SW3b. Therefore, the contact between the conductor plate SW3-1a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-1b is prevented, and the contact between the conductor plate SW3-2a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b is prevented. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed, both the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are disconnected.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23B, in a state where the inner frame 12 is opened, the contact of the movable shaft SW3a with the inner frame 12 is released. The plate SW3-1a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-1b are in contact with each other, and the conductor plate SW3-2a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b are in contact with each other. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened, both the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are in a conductive state.

  As described above, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 built in the housing SW3b are both in a cut-off state when the inner frame 12 is closed, and are in a conductive state when the inner frame 12 is opened. It becomes. That is, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 have a structure in which the conduction state and the cutoff state operate in conjunction with each other. However, the structure of the switch SW3 is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 23. When the inner frame 12 is closed, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off, while the inner frame 12 If the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are in a conductive state in a state in which is opened. The same applies to the structure of the switch SW4.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 500 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 500. Note that the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment is the same as the frame opening detection circuit 260 provided in the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. It is changed to the frame opening detection circuit 290, and the electrical connection of the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 290 is changed. And the pachinko machine 500 of 4th Embodiment changes the external output terminal board 261 mentioned above in FIG. 6 to the external output terminal board 291 for inner frames. In addition to this, the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment is provided with a front frame open frame detection circuit 292 in the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. is there. The pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment newly has a front frame external output terminal plate 293 corresponding to the front frame open frame detection circuit 292 newly provided in the main controller 110. It is. Therefore, the same parts as those of the pachinko machine 10 described above with reference to FIG.

  Main controller 110 is provided with an inner frame opening detection circuit 290 that detects opening of inner frame 12 when switch SW3 (switch SW3-1 and switch SW3-2) is turned on. The inner frame opening detection circuit 290 includes an input / output port 205 that is an input / output port of the MPU 201, a switch SW3 that detects opening of the inner frame 12, and an external output for the inner frame configured to be connectable to the hall computer 262. Connected to terminal plate 291. The connection between the switch SW3 and the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the connection between the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 include an input / output unit (input / output unit) for inputting and outputting signals. The connection is made through an input / output port (not shown) different from the input / output port 205.

  The inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine 500, and when a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the switch SW3 (switch SW3-1 and switch SW3-2). ) Is conducted and the opening of the inner frame 12 is detected, a signal having a DC voltage of 5 volts is output to the input / output port 205. When this signal is input to the input / output port 205, the pachinko machine 500 turns on an inner frame release flag 203a, which will be described later, and sends an inner frame release command indicating the release of the inner frame 12 via the input / output port 205. Output to the sound lamp controller 113. Then, the voice lamp control device 113 that has received this inner frame release command turns on an inner frame release command reception flag 223a, which will be described later, and outputs the inner frame release command to the display control device 114, as well as the voice output device 226 and The lamp display device 227 is used to notify the opening of the inner frame 12. In addition, the display control device 114 that has received the inner frame release command output from the sound lamp control device 113 turns on a display inner frame release command reception flag 233c, which will be described later, and displays a message indicating that the inner frame 12 is released. It is displayed on the 3 symbol display device 81. In addition to this, when the switch SW3 (switch SW3-1 and switch SW3-2) is turned on and the opening of the inner frame 12 is detected, the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 detects a hole from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the computer 262.

  On the other hand, the frame opening detection circuit 290 for the inner frame, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. When the switch SW3 (the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2) is turned on to detect the opening of the inner frame 12, no signal is output to the input port 205, and a hole is output from the outer output terminal plate 291 for the inner frame. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the computer 262. The pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, the opening of the inner frame 12 can be detected by analyzing the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262.

  Further, the main controller 110 is provided with a front frame opening detection circuit 292 for detecting the opening of the front frame 14 when the switch SW4 (switch SW4-1 and switch SW4-2) is turned on. The front frame opening detection circuit 292 includes an input / output port 205 that is an input / output port of the MPU 201, a switch SW4 that detects opening of the front frame 14, and a front frame external output configured to be connectable to the hall computer 262. Connected to terminal plate 293. The connection between the switch SW4 and the front frame opening detection circuit 292 and the connection between the front frame opening detection circuit 292 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 include an input / output unit (input / output) for inputting and outputting signals. The connection is made via an input / output port (not shown) different from the port 205.

  The front frame open frame detection circuit 292 has the same function as the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 described above. That is, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the switch SW4 (switch SW4-1 and switch SW4-2) is turned on and the front frame 14 is turned on. Is detected, a signal with a DC voltage of 5 volts is output to the input / output port 205. When this signal is input to the input / output port 205, the pachinko machine 500 turns on a front frame opening flag 203b described later, and issues a front frame opening command indicating opening of the front frame 14 via the input / output port 205. Output to the sound lamp controller 113. Then, the voice lamp control device 113 that has received this front frame release command turns on a front frame release command reception flag 223b, which will be described later, and outputs the front frame release command to the display control device 114, as well as the voice output device 226 and The lamp display device 227 is used to notify the opening of the front frame 14. In addition, the display control device 114 that has received the front frame release command output from the sound lamp control device 113 turns on the display front frame release command reception flag 233d and displays a message indicating that the front frame 14 is released as the third symbol. It is displayed on the display device 81. In addition to this, when the switch SW4 (switch SW4-1 and switch SW4-2) conducts and the opening of the front frame 14 is detected, the front frame opening detection circuit 292 detects a hole from the front frame external output terminal plate 293. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the computer 262.

  On the other hand, the front frame opening detection circuit 292 is, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1. When the switch SW4 (switch SW4-1 and switch SW4-2) is turned on to detect the opening of the front frame 14, no signal is output to the input port 205, and a hole is generated from the external output terminal plate 293 for the front frame. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the computer 262. The pulse signal output from the front frame external output terminal plate 293 is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, the opening of the front frame 14 can be detected by analyzing the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262.

  Here, the front frame open frame detection circuit 292 and the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 are connected to different input ports of the input / output port 205, respectively. Therefore, the signal output from the front frame opening detection circuit 292 and the signal output from the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 are individually input to the input / output port 205. Therefore, the MPU 201 mounted on the main controller 110 outputs the signal input to the input / output port 205 from the front frame opening detection circuit 292 or the inner frame opening detection circuit 290. Can be discriminated.

  The front frame external output terminal plate 293 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 are connected to different input terminals of the hall computer 262, respectively. Therefore, the pulse signal output from the front frame external output terminal plate 293 and the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 are individually input to the hall computer 262. As a result, the pulse signal output from the front frame external output terminal plate 293 and the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 can be individually stored in the hall computer 262. Accordingly, by analyzing the pulse signals individually stored in the hall computer 262, it is possible to detect whether the inner frame 12 is opened or the front frame 14 is opened.

  As described above, the main controller 110 includes the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 that operates when the inner frame 12 is opened and the front frame opening detection circuit 292 that operates when the front frame 14 is opened. Are provided separately. Therefore, when either or both of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are opened, it is possible to determine which has been opened by the notification performed by the pachinko machine 500, in addition to the hall computer. The determination can also be made based on the pulse signal stored in H.262.

  The RAM 203 of the main controller 110 is provided with an inner frame release flag 203a and a front frame release flag 203b. The inner frame opening flag 203a is a flag indicating the opened state or the closed state of the inner frame 12. As described above, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the inner frame 12 is opened, and the switch SW3 (switch SW3-1 and switch SW3 When -2) is turned on, a signal having a DC voltage of 5 volts is output from the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 to the input / output port 205. When this 5-volt signal is detected by the MPU 201 via the input / output port 205, the inner frame release flag 203a is turned on. When the inner frame release flag 203a is turned on, the MPU 201 transmits an inner frame release command that notifies the sound lamp control device 113 that the inner frame 12 has been released.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the inner frame 12 is closed, and the switch SW3 (switch SW3-1 and switch SW3-2) is closed. ) Is cut off, the signal output of DC voltage 5 volts from the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 to the input / output port 205 is stopped (the output from the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 to the input / output port 205 is zero volts). Become). When this stop of signal output is detected by the MPU 201 via the input / output port 205, the inner frame release flag 203a is turned off. When the inner frame opening flag 203a is turned off, the MPU 201 transmits an inner frame closing command that informs the sound lamp control device 113 that the inner frame 12 has been closed. Thus, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the inner frame release flag 203a is turned on, while when the inner frame 12 is closed, the inner frame release flag 203a is turned off.

  The front frame opening flag 203b is a flag indicating whether the front frame 14 is open or closed. When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the front frame 14 is opened and the switch SW4 (switch SW4-1 and switch SW4-2) is turned on. When conducting, a signal with a DC voltage of 5 volts is output from the front frame opening detection circuit 292 to the input / output port 205. When this 5-volt signal is detected by the MPU 201 via the input / output port 205, the front frame opening flag 203b is turned on. When the front frame release flag 203b is turned on, the MPU 201 transmits a front frame release command that informs the audio lamp control device 113 that the front frame 14 has been opened.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the front frame 14 is closed, and the switch SW4 (switch SW4-1 and switch SW4-2) is closed. ) Is stopped, the signal output of DC voltage 5 volts from the front frame opening detection circuit 292 to the input / output port 205 is stopped (the output from the front frame opening detection circuit 292 to the input / output port 205 is zero volts). Becomes). When this stop of signal output is detected by the MPU 201 via the input / output port 205, the front frame opening flag 203b is turned off. When the front frame opening flag 203b is turned off, the MPU 201 transmits a front frame closing command that informs the audio lamp control device 113 that the front frame 14 has been closed. Thus, when the front frame 14 is opened, the front frame opening flag 203b is turned on, while when the front frame 14 is closed, the front frame opening flag 203b is turned off.

  The RAM 223 of the sound lamp control device 113 is provided with an inner frame opening command reception flag 223a and a front frame opening command reception flag 223b. The inner frame opening command reception flag 223a is a flag indicating whether the command received by the sound lamp control device 113 is an inner frame opening command or an inner frame closing command. As described above, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the inner frame release flag 203a is turned on. The MPU 201 transmits an inner frame release command to the audio lamp control device 113. When this inner frame release command is detected by the MPU 221 via the input / output port 225, the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is turned on. When the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is turned on, the MPU 221 transmits an inner frame release command that notifies the display control device 114 that the inner frame 12 has been released. In addition, the MPU 221 notifies the opening of the inner frame 12 using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, if the inner frame 12 is closed, the inner frame open flag 203a is turned off, and the voice The MPU 201 transmits an inner frame closing command to the lamp control device 113. When this inner frame closing command is detected by the MPU 221 via the input / output port 225, the inner frame opening command reception flag 223a is turned off. When the inner frame open command reception flag 223a is turned off, the MPU 221 transmits an inner frame closing command that notifies the display control device 114 that the inner frame 12 has been closed. In addition, the MPU 221 stops the notification that has been performed using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. Thus, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the inner frame opening command is detected by the MPU 221, the inner frame opening command reception flag 223a is turned on, while the inner frame 12 is closed and the inner frame closing command is sent to the MPU 221. When detected, the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is turned off.

  The front frame open command reception flag 223b is a flag indicating whether the command received by the sound lamp control device 113 is a front frame open command or a front frame close command. When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, when the front frame 14 is opened, the front frame open flag 203b is turned on and the sound lamp control is performed. The MPU 201 transmits a front frame release command to the device 113. When the front frame release command is detected by the MPU 221 via the input / output port 225, the front frame release command reception flag 223b is turned on. When the front frame opening command reception flag 223b is turned on, the MPU 221 transmits a front frame opening command that notifies the display control device 114 that the front frame 14 has been opened. In addition, the MPU 221 notifies the opening of the front frame 14 using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, if the front frame 14 is closed, the front frame opening flag 203b is turned off, and the voice A front frame closing command is transmitted from the MPU 201 to the lamp control device 113. When this front frame close command is detected by the MPU 221 via the input / output port 225, the front frame open command reception flag 223b is turned off. When the front frame opening command reception flag 223b is turned off, the MPU 221 transmits a front frame closing command that notifies the display control device 114 that the front frame 14 has been closed. In addition, the MPU 221 stops the notification that has been performed using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. Thus, when the front frame 14 is opened and the front frame open command is detected by the MPU 221, the front frame open command reception flag 223b is turned on, while the front frame 14 is closed and the front frame close command is sent to the MPU 221. When detected, the front frame open command reception flag 223b is turned off.

  The RAM 233 of the display control device 114 is provided with an effect permission flag 233a, a change start flag 233b, a display inner frame release command reception flag 233c, and a display front frame release command reception flag 233d. The effect permission flag 233a is a flag for permitting the start of display on the third symbol display device 81, and an effect permission command transmitted after the initial setting process of the main control device 110 is sent via the sound lamp control device 113. When the display control device 114 receives it (when an effect permission command is detected by the MPU 231 via the input port 237), it is turned on. In addition, once the effect permission flag 233a is turned on, the on-state is continued.

  The variation start flag 233b is a flag for permitting the start of variation display in the third symbol display device 81, and the display control device 114 sends the variation pattern command output from the main control device 110 to the voice lamp control device 113. (When the MPU 231 detects the variation pattern command output from the main control device 110 via the input port 237). The variation start flag 233b is turned off when variation display is started in the third symbol display device 81. Here, the fluctuation start flag 233b is turned off because, in the present embodiment, when the fluctuation start flag 233b is turned on, the third symbol display device 81 starts the fluctuation display. This is because, unless the fluctuation start flag 233b is turned off, a fluctuation start process (the process of S1010 in FIG. 31) described later is repeatedly executed, and a normal process is not executed.

  Next, the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c will be described. The display inner frame opening command reception flag 233c is a flag indicating whether the command received by the display control device 114 is an inner frame opening command or an inner frame closing command. As described above, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the main controller 110 is an audio lamp controller. An inner frame release command is transmitted to the display control device 114 via 113, indicating that the inner frame 12 has been released. When this inner frame release command is detected by the MPU 231 via the input port 237, the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c is turned on. When the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c is turned on, the MPU 231 displays a message indicating the release of the inner frame 12 on the third symbol display device 81.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the main controller 110 switches the sound lamp controller 113. Through this, an inner frame closing command for transmitting that the inner frame 12 has been closed is transmitted to the display control device 114. When this inner frame closing command is detected by the MPU 231 via the input port 237, the display inner frame opening command reception flag 233c is turned off. When the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c is turned off, the MPU 231 deletes the message indicating the release of the inner frame 12 displayed on the third symbol display device 81.

  Finally, the display front frame opening command reception flag 233d will be described. The display front frame opening command reception flag 233d is a flag indicating whether the command received by the display control device 114 is a front frame opening command or a front frame closing command. When power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, when the front frame 14 is opened, the main controller 110 passes through the sound lamp controller 113. Then, a front frame opening command is transmitted to the display control device 114 to notify that the front frame 14 has been opened. When this front frame release command is detected by the MPU 231 via the input port 237, the display front frame release command reception flag 233d is turned on. When the display front frame opening command reception flag 233d is turned on, the MPU 231 displays a message indicating the opening of the front frame 14 on the third symbol display device 81.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, when the front frame 14 is closed, the main controller 110 switches the sound lamp controller 113. The front frame closing command is transmitted to the display control device 114 to notify that the front frame 14 has been closed. When this front frame close command is detected by the MPU 231 via the input port 237, the display front frame open command reception flag 233d is turned off. When the display front frame opening command reception flag 233d is turned off, the MPU 231 deletes the message indicating the opening of the front frame 14 displayed on the third symbol display device 81.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 25, the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 used in the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment will be described. FIG. 25 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291. Note that the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 removes the switch SW2 connected in parallel to the switch SW1 of the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 20, and switches the switch SW1 to the switch SW3-1. The inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is changed, and the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b having a switch SW3-2 operating in conjunction with the switch SW3-1. The inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a has the same configuration as the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 20 except that the switch SW2 is removed and the switch SW1 is changed to the switch SW3-1. It is. Further, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 has the same configuration as the external output terminal plate 261 of the third embodiment described above with reference to FIG. Therefore, for the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 290 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the same parts as those of the frame opening detection circuit 280 and the external output terminal plate 261 described above with reference to FIG. The description thereof will be omitted, and only different parts will be described.

  Similarly to the configuration of the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290, the front frame open frame detection circuit 292 includes a front frame terminal board output circuit 292a (not shown) and a front frame input / output port output circuit 292b. (Not shown). The front frame terminal board output circuit 292a differs from the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a only in that the connected switch is changed from the switch SW3-1 to the switch SW4-1. This is the same configuration as the frame terminal board output circuit 290a. That is, the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a has the same function as the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 except that the switch to be connected is different from the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290. Similarly, the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is different from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b only in that the connected switch is changed from the switch SW3-2 to the switch SW4-2. Other configurations are the same as those of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b. That is, the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b has the same function as the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b except that the switch to be connected is different from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b. Further, the front frame external output terminal plate 293 has the same configuration as the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, that is, the same configuration as the external output terminal plate 261 of the third embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 20. is there. Therefore, description of the front frame open frame detection circuit 292 (front frame terminal board output circuit 292a and front frame input / output port output circuit 292b) and front frame external output terminal board 293 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 25, the switch SW3-2 used in the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b has one end of the switch SW3-2 (one end of the terminal board 3-2b) as the anode of the DC power source DC1 and the diode D1. The other end of the switch SW3-2 (the other end of the terminal plate 3-2b) is connected to one end of the resistor R11 having a resistance value of 140 kΩ while being connected to the terminal.

  The other end of the resistor R11 is connected to one end of the resistor R12 having a resistance value of 100 kΩ and the input / output port 205, and the other end of the resistor R12 is grounded. The resistor R11 and the resistor R12 constitute a voltage dividing circuit that divides a 12-volt DC voltage supplied from the DC power source DC1. Therefore, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 is turned on, the DC power supply DC1 The supplied 12-volt DC voltage is divided by the resistors R11 and R12. At this time, the DC voltage applied to the resistor R12 is about 5 volts. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 is turned on, a signal of 5 volts is input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205. When the pachinko machine 500 is supplied with power and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the inner frame 12 is opened and provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. When the switch SW3-1 is turned on, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a performs the same operation as that described in the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment in FIG. To the hall computer 262, a pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output.

  On the other hand, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the inner frame 12 is closed and provided in the input / output port output circuit 290b for the inner frame. When the switch SW3-2 is cut off, no DC voltage is applied to the resistors R11 and R12. Therefore, when the switch SW3 is cut off and the switch SW3-2 is cut off, no signal is input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 (input / output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b). DC voltage input to port 205 is zero volts). In addition, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the inner frame 12 is closed and provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. When the switch SW3-1 is cut off, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a performs the same operation as that described in the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment in FIG. 20, and the detection of the inner frame 12 is performed again. Set to possible state.

  In addition, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, so the switch SW3-2 is turned on. However, no signal is input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 (the DC voltage input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 is zero volts).

  However, the power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a as described in the frame open detection circuit 280 of the third embodiment in FIG. Therefore, for example, even when the business hours of the game hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, the inner frame 12 is opened and provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. When the switch SW3-1 is turned on, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a outputs a pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms from the inner frame external output terminal board 291 to the hall computer 262.

  As described above, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, the inner frame 12 is opened and the input / output port output circuit 290b for the inner frame is opened. When the provided switch SW3-2 is turned on, a signal of 5 volts is input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205. When a 5 volt signal is input to the input / output port 205, the pachinko machine 500 notifies the opening of the inner frame 12 using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. In addition, the pachinko machine 500 displays a message indicating the opening of the inner frame 12 on the third symbol display device 81. Further, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a is turned on, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a opens from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hole. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the computer 262.

  On the other hand, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, so the inner frame 12 is opened. Even when the switch SW3-2 provided in the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is turned on, no signal is input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 (input / output for the inner frame). The DC voltage input from the port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 becomes zero volts). However, for example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is interrupted, power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a is turned on, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a is connected to the inner frame external output terminal plate 291. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the hall computer 262.

  The pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the pachinko machine in which the inner frame 12 is opened can be specified by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262. Furthermore, the pulse signal is output from the external output terminal board 291 for the inner frame to the hall computer 262, and the output time of the output pulse signal is stored, so that the specified inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine is opened. The time can be detected.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 is opened when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 are cut off. When the inner frame 12 is opened, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 can be exhibited by the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a which is one circuit.

  One end of the switch SW3-2 of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is connected to the DC power source DC1 and the anode terminal of the diode D1. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is turned on, the switch SW3-2 is turned on, and power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b. Thus, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is in an operating state. On the other hand, when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is off, no power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the input / output port output circuit 290b for the inner frame, so the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 is opened. Even so, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is stopped.

  On the other hand, one end of the switch SW3-1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1 via the diode D2 and the resistor R10. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened while the power of the pachinko machine 500 is turned on, the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive, and power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. The inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is in an operating state. On the other hand, when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is turned off, the power supply from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is stopped, but the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 is turned on. Then, since electric power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a enters an operating state. Here, when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is turned off and power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a, the power supply to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is performed. It can be blocked by a diode D1 that exhibits a backflow prevention function. Therefore, when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is turned off, the number of times that the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a can be operated can be increased, and the number of times that the inner frame 12 can be detected can be increased.

  Also, the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is activated when the inner frame 12 is opened, the switch SW3-1 is turned on, and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts. It functions as a monostable multivibrator that raises the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 from zero volts to about 9.6 volts for about 10 ms from the fall. By providing the integration circuit 281 in front of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 can be increased regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12. The period from falling to zero volts until returning to about 10.3 volts can be adjusted to be shorter than the period in which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts. As described above, the integration circuit 281 makes the timer IC1 functioning as a monostable multivibrator by setting the falling period of the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 to a fixed period (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12. Is normally operated, and the period during which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts can be kept at about 10 ms. As a result, the period during which the current is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 can be kept at about 10 ms, and the output period of the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262 is about 10 ms. Can be fastened.

  Next, referring to FIG. 26, regardless of whether the power of pachinko machine 500 is on or off, the inner frame terminal board output changes according to the conduction cut-off state of switch SW3-1 (open state of inner frame 12). The TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the circuit 290a, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a, the output of the inner frame external output terminal board 291 (input of the hall computer 262), and the pachinko machine 500 The relationship between the switch SW3-2 and the output of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b that changes in accordance with the continuity cut-off state of the switch SW3-2 (the opened state of the inner frame 12) will be described. FIG. 26 shows an on / off state of the power source of the pachinko machine 500 (a state of a direct current voltage supplied from the direct current power source DC1), a conduction cutoff state of the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 (an open state of the inner frame 12), The TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the terminal board output circuit 290a for the inner frame, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the terminal board output circuit 290a for the inner frame, the output of the external output terminal board 291 for the inner frame (the input of the hall computer 262) And the output of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b.

  As described above, the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a provided in the front frame frame open detection circuit 292 is different from the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a in that the switch to be connected is changed from the switch SW3-1. It is only the place changed to switch SW4-1, and others are the same structures as the terminal board output circuit 290a for inner frames. Therefore, the operation of the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a is the same as the operation of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. Also, the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is different from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b only in that the connected switch is changed from the switch SW3-2 to the switch SW4-2. The other configuration is the same as that of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b. Therefore, the operation of the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is the same as the operation of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b. Further, since the front frame external output terminal plate 293 has the same configuration as the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the operation of the front frame external output terminal plate 293 is the same as that of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291. It is. Therefore, description of the operations of the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a, the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b, and the front frame external output terminal board 293 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (a), the power supply of the pachinko machine 500 is in an on state until t11 (the DC voltage supplied by the DC power supply DC1 is 12 volts until t11). The power supply of the machine 500 is turned off (the DC voltage supplied from the DC power supply DC1 is zero volts). Therefore, the power from the DC power supply DC1 is supplied to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a and the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b until time t11. Then, after time t11, the supply of power by the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a and the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is stopped. However, since the capacitor CD1 is provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a, power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a after t11. Therefore, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is operable even after t11.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (b), at time t9, when the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive (inner frame 12 is open), charging of the capacitor CD7 is started, and as shown in FIG. 26 (c), the timer The TRG terminal voltage of IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts (at time t9). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 26D, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at time t9). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a are conducted, and the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the outer output terminal plate 291 for the inner frame (see FIG. 25), Current supply is started (at time t9). Then, as shown in FIG. 26 (e), the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is changed from the low state to the high state at t9. Switch to state. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 to the hall computer 262 is started. Further, as shown in FIG. 26B, when the switch SW3-2 is in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in an open state) at t9, a direct current is applied to the resistors R11 and R12 of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b. The power from the power source DC1 is supplied, and the voltage applied to the resistor R12 is 5 volts (at time t9). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 26 (f), a signal having a DC voltage of 5 volts is output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 (at time t9).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 26C, when about 2 ms elapses from t9, the charging of the capacitor CD7 is completed, and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 returns from zero volts to about 10.3 volts again. However, since about 10 ms has not elapsed since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rose from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (from t9), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapses from t9, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts as shown in FIG. Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. Thus, by switching the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 26B, when the switch SW3-1 is in a cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed) at t10, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a again detects the inner frame 12. Is set to a possible state. As shown in FIG. 26 (b), when the switch SW3-2 is in a cut-off state (the inner frame 12 is closed) at time t10, the resistance R11 and the resistance R12 of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b are connected to each other. The power supply from the DC power supply DC1 is stopped, and the voltage applied to the resistor R12 becomes zero volts (at time t10). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 26 (f), the DC voltage 5 volt signal output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 is stopped at t10 (inner frame input). (The output from the output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 becomes zero volts at t10).

  As shown in FIG. 26 (a), when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is turned off after t11 (when the DC voltage supplied from the DC power supply DC1 becomes zero volts), the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a and the inner frame The supply of power by the DC power source DC1 to the input / output port output circuit 290b is stopped. However, even when the power of the pachinko machine 500 is off, the power from the capacitor CD1 is supplied to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), when the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive (the inner frame 12 is in the open state) at t12, charging of the capacitor CD7 is started, as shown in FIG. 26 (c). The TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts (at t12). Then, following this, as shown in FIG. 26D, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at t12). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a are conducted, and the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 (see FIG. 25), Current supply is started (at t12). Then, as shown in FIG. 26 (e), the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is changed from the low state to the high state at t12. Switch to state. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 to the hall computer 262 is started. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 26B, even when the switch SW3-2 is in the conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in the open state) at t12, the resistors R11 and R12 of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b are provided. Is not supplied with power from the DC power supply DC1 (since the DC voltage supplied by the DC power supply DC1 is zero volts), the voltage applied to the resistor R12 is zero volts (at t12). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 26 (f), the signal output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 maintains the stopped state (input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b). The output to output port 205 remains at zero volts).

  The charge stored in the capacitor CD7 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a between t9 and t10 is instantaneously completed via the zener diode D3 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a at t12. . The discharge period of the capacitor CD7 is a period that is much shorter than about 2 ms in which the voltage at the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is changed from about 10.3 volts to zero volts and is again about 10.3 volts. It does not significantly affect the voltage applied to the terminals. In addition to this discharge, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 from t9 to t10 is also discharged by self-discharge of the capacitor CD7.

  At t12, the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a stores the voltage of about 10.3 volts supplied from the capacitor CD1 and the capacitor CD7 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a. An overvoltage of a magnitude that destroys the timer IC1 may be applied by superimposing a voltage of about 10.3 volts associated with the generated charge. However, since a Zener diode D3 having a limit voltage (zener voltage) of about 10.5 volts is connected to the preceding stage of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, the maximum value of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 is The overvoltage which is about 10.5 volts and destroys the timer IC1 is not applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 26 (c), when about 2 ms elapses from t12, the charging of the capacitor CD7 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a is completed, and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 again starts from zero volts. Return to about 10.3 volts. However, since about 10 ms has not elapsed since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rose from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (from t12), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapses from t12, as shown in FIG. 26D, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts. Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. 26 (e) when about 10 ms elapses from t12. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. Thus, by switching the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 26 (b), when the switch SW3-1 is cut off (the inner frame 12 is closed) at t13, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a again detects the inner frame 12. Is set to a possible state. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 26 (b), when the switch SW 3-2 is cut off (the inner frame 12 is closed) at t 13, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290 b causes the pachinko machine 500 to Is set to a state in which the inner frame 12 can be detected.

  As described above, when the power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1 (until t11 o'clock), the inner frame 12 is opened and the inner frame 12 is opened. When the switch SW3-1 provided in the terminal board output circuit 290a is turned on, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a outputs a pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms from the inner frame external output terminal board 291 to the hall computer 262. To do. Further, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 provided in the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is turned on, a signal of 5 volts is supplied from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205. Is entered.

  Further, for example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is interrupted (even after t11), the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a includes Since the power is supplied from the capacitor CD1, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a conducts, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262. However, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off (in the case of after t11), a DC voltage of 12 volts is applied from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame. Since the internal frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 provided in the internal frame input / output port output circuit 290b is turned on, the internal frame input / output is not supplied to the internal input / output port output circuit 290b. No signal is output from the port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 (the DC voltage output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 is zero volts).

  Thus, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500, when the inner frame 12 is opened, a function of outputting a signal to the input / output port 205 and a function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262, The function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 when the inner frame 12 is opened when the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off is a single circuit inner frame open detection circuit 290. Can demonstrate.

  In addition, when the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are in a conductive state (the inner frame 12 is in an open state), the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a determines whether the switch SW3-1 is in a conductive period (in the inner frame 12). Regardless of the open period, when the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive (the inner frame 12 is open) and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts, the timer IC1 The voltage at the OUT terminal is switched from about 9.6 volts to zero volts. Thereby, the supply period of the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1 of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is about 10 ms.

  Thus, for example, the business hours of the amusement hall are terminated and the power supply to the pachinko machine is cut off, and a DC voltage of 12 volts from the DC power supply DC1 is supplied to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a and the inner frame external output terminal board 291. Is supplied, that is, when a DC voltage of about 10.3 volts is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1. The supply period of the supplied current can be kept at about 10 ms per opening of the inner frame 12. Therefore, the power consumption due to the opening of the inner frame 12 can be kept small.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to the flowcharts of FIGS. 27 and 28. Each control process executed by the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment is the main process (of the control processes executed by the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment). 12) and the timer interrupt process (see FIG. 15), and other control processes are the same as the control processes executed by the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. It is. Therefore, in the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment, the main process shown in FIG. 27 and the timer interrupt process shown in FIG. 28 will be described, and description of other control processes will be omitted. For convenience of explanation, the timer interrupt process (FIG. 28) will be described first, and then the main process (FIG. 27) will be described.

  With reference to FIG. 28, the timer interruption process performed with the main control apparatus 110 of the pachinko machine 500 of 4th Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 28 is a flowchart showing a timer interrupt process executed by the MPU 201 in the main controller 110. The timer interrupt process is executed by the MPU 201 of the main control device 110, for example, every 2 ms. Note that the timer interrupt process executed by the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 28 is the timer interrupt process executed by the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 of the first embodiment. A process of setting the inner frame release flag 203a and the front frame release flag 203b to ON or OFF (the processes of S506 to S513) is added between the processes of S501 and S502 (see FIG. 15). Therefore, the same parts as those of the timer interrupt process of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 15 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Only different parts will be described.

  In the timer interrupt process, first, a process for reading various winning switches is executed (S501). That is, the state of various switches connected to the main controller 110 is read, and the state of the switch is determined and the detection information (winning detection information) is stored.

  Next, an output reading process of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is executed (S506). That is, the voltage value of the signal output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b to the input / output port 205 is read. Then, it is determined whether or not the output (signal) of the read inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is 5 volts (S507). If the read output (signal) of the input / output port output circuit 290b for the inner frame is 5 volts (S507: Yes), the inner frame 12 is opened, so the inner frame release flag 203a is turned on (S508). . On the other hand, if the output (signal) of the read inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is zero volts (S507: No), the inner frame 12 is closed, so the inner frame release flag 203a is turned off (S509). ).

  After the processing of S508 or S509, output reading processing of the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is executed (S510). That is, the voltage value of the signal output from the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b to the input / output port 205 is read. Then, it is determined whether or not the read output (signal) of the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is 5 volts (S511). If the output (signal) of the read front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is 5 volts (S511: Yes), the front frame 14 is opened, so the front frame release flag 203b is turned on (S512). . On the other hand, if the output (signal) of the read front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is zero volts (S511: No), the front frame 14 is closed, so the front frame open flag 203b is turned off (S513). ). After the processing of S512 or S513, the first initial value random number counter CINI1 and the second initial value random number counter CINI2 are updated (S502).

  Thus, if the read output (signal) of the input / output port output circuit 290b for the inner frame is 5 volts, the main frame 110 is turned on because the inner frame 12 is opened. To. On the other hand, if the read output (signal) of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is zero volts, the inner frame 12 is closed, so the inner frame release flag 203a is turned off. Further, if the output (signal) of the read front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is 5 volts, the main controller 110 opens the front frame open flag 203b because the front frame 14 is open. . On the other hand, if the read output (signal) of the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is zero volts, the front frame 14 is closed, so the front frame open flag 203b is turned off.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 27, the main process performed with the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 500 of 4th Embodiment is demonstrated. FIG. 27 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the MPU 201 in the main control device 110. In this main process, the main process of the game is executed. As an outline, each of the processes of S201 to S206 and S215 to S220 is executed as a periodic process with a period of 4 ms, and the counter update process of S209 and S210 is executed in the remaining time.

  The main process executed by the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment shown in FIG. 27 is the main process executed by the main controller 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment (see FIG. 12). ) Between the processing of S201 and S202 in FIG. 5B, a process of transmitting either the inner frame opening command or the inner frame closing command, or the front frame opening command or the front frame closing command to the sound lamp control device 113 (S215 to S215). The process of S220 is added. Therefore, the same parts as those in the main process of the pachinko machine 10 according to the first embodiment described above with reference to FIG. 12 are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof will be omitted. Only different parts will be described.

  In the main process executed by the main control device 110 of the pachinko machine 10 according to the fourth embodiment, an external output for transmitting output data such as a command updated in the previous process to each control device (peripheral control device) on the sub side. After the process (S201) is executed, it is determined whether the inner frame release flag 203a is on (S215). If the inner frame opening flag 203a is on (S215: Yes), that is, if the inner frame 12 is opened, an inner frame opening command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 (S216). On the other hand, if the inner frame opening flag 203a is off (S215: No), that is, if the inner frame 12 is closed, an inner frame closing command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 (S217). After the process of S216 or S217, it is determined whether or not the front frame release flag 203b is on (S218). If the front frame opening flag 203b is ON (S218: Yes), that is, if the front frame 14 is opened, a front frame opening command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 (S219). On the other hand, if the front frame opening flag 203b is off (S218: No), that is, if the front frame 14 is closed, a front frame closing command is transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113 (S220). After the process of S219 or S220, the fluctuation type counters CS1, CS2, CS3 are updated (S202).

  Thus, main controller 110 repeatedly transmits an inner frame release command to voice lamp controller 113 if inner frame release flag 203a is on, that is, inner frame 12 is opened. On the other hand, if the inner frame opening flag 203a is off, that is, if the inner frame 12 is closed, the inner frame closing command is repeatedly transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113. Further, the main control device 110 repeatedly transmits a front frame opening command to the sound lamp control device 113 when the front frame opening flag 203b is ON, that is, when the front frame 14 is opened. On the other hand, if the front frame opening flag 203b is OFF, that is, if the front frame 14 is closed, a front frame closing command is repeatedly transmitted to the sound lamp control device 113.

  The command transmission of main controller 110 may be as follows. For example, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the inner frame opening flag 203a is turned on, the main control device 110 transmits an inner frame opening command once to the sound lamp control device 113, and the inner frame 12 is closed. Thus, when the inner frame opening flag 203a is turned off, the inner frame closing command may be transmitted once to the sound lamp control device 113. Similarly, when the front frame 14 is opened and the front frame opening flag 203b is turned on, the main control device 110 transmits a front frame opening command once to the sound lamp control device 113, and the front frame 14 is closed. Then, when the front frame opening flag 203b is turned off, the front frame closing command may be transmitted once to the sound lamp control device 113.

  Next, processing performed by the audio lamp control device 113 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 29 is a flowchart showing a start-up process executed by the MPU 221 in the sound lamp control device 113, and this start-up process is started when the power is turned on.

  When the start-up process is executed, first, an initial setting process associated with power-on is executed (S701). Specifically, a predetermined value set in advance for the stack pointer is set. Thereafter, depending on whether or not the power-off process flag is turned on, the power-on process of S816 (see FIG. 30) is performed due to an instantaneous voltage drop (momentary power failure, so-called “momentary power failure”). ) Is determined during execution (S702). As will be described later with reference to FIG. 30, when the sound lamp control device 113 receives a power-off command from the main control device 110 (see S812 in FIG. 30), it executes a power-off process in S816. The power-off process flag is turned on before the power-off process is executed, and the power-off process flag is turned off after the power-off process ends. Therefore, whether or not the power-off process in S815 is in progress can be determined based on the state of the power-off process flag.

  If the power-off process flag is off (S702: No), the current start-up process is started after the power supply is completely shut off, or after a momentary power failure has occurred and the power-off process at S816 is completed. It was started after the execution of the process was completed, or started only after the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 was reset due to noise or the like (without receiving a power-off command from the main control device 110). is there. Therefore, in these cases, it is confirmed whether or not the data in the RAM 223 is destroyed (S703).

  Confirmation of data destruction of the RAM 223 is performed as follows. That is, data as a keyword “55AAh” is written in a specific area of the RAM 223 by the processing of S706. Therefore, the data stored in the specific area is checked, and if the data is “55AAh”, there is no data destruction in the RAM 223. Conversely, if the data is not “55AAh”, the data destruction in the RAM 223 can be confirmed. If data destruction of the RAM 223 is confirmed (S703: Yes), the process proceeds to S704, and initialization of the RAM 223 is started. On the other hand, if data destruction of the RAM 223 is not confirmed (S703: No), the process proceeds to S708.

  If the current start-up process is started after the power supply is completely shut down, the keyword “55AAh” is not stored in the specific area of the RAM 223 (the memory of the RAM 223 is lost due to the power-off). ), It is determined that the data in the RAM 223 has been destroyed (S703: Yes), and the process proceeds to S704. On the other hand, this startup process was started after an instantaneous power failure and after completing the power-off process in S816, or reset only to the MPU 221 of the audio lamp control device 113 due to noise or the like. When the process starts, since the keyword “55AAh” is stored in the specific area of the RAM 223, it is determined that the data in the RAM 223 is normal (S703: No), and the process proceeds to S708.

  If the power-off process flag is on (S702: Yes), the startup process of this time is after the momentary power failure has occurred and during the execution of the power-off process of S816, the sound lamp control device 113. The MPU 221 is started after being reset. In such a case, since the power-off process is being executed, the storage state of the RAM 223 is not necessarily correct. Therefore, since control cannot be continued in such a case, the process proceeds to S704 and initialization of the RAM 223 is started.

  In the process of S704, the entire storage area of the RAM 223 is checked (S704). As a check method, first, “0FFh” is written for each byte, and it is read for each byte to check whether it is “0FFh”. If “0FFh”, it is determined as normal. The writing and checking for each byte are performed in the order of “55h”, “0AAh”, and “00h” after “0FFh”. This RAM 223 read / write check clears all storage areas of the RAM 223 to zero.

  If it is determined that the read / write check is normal for all the storage areas of the RAM 223 (S705: Yes), the keyword “55AAh” is written in the specific area of the RAM 223 and the RAM destruction check data is set (S706). By checking the keyword “55AAh” written in the specific area, it is checked whether or not there is data corruption in the RAM 223. On the other hand, if an abnormality of the read / write check is detected in any storage area of the RAM 223 (S705: No), the abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified (S707), and an infinite loop is performed until the power is shut off. The abnormality of the RAM 223 is notified by the display lamp 34. Note that the audio output device 226 may output a sound to notify the RAM 223 of an abnormality.

  In the process of S708, it is determined whether or not the power-off flag is turned on (S708). Since the power-off flag is turned on when the power-off process in S816 is executed (see S815 in FIG. 30), the power-off flag is turned on by the process in S815 as described later with reference to FIG. In other words, since the power-off flag is turned on before the power-off process of S816 is executed, the startup process of this time is the moment when the power-off flag is turned on. This is a case where the process is started after a power failure has occurred and the execution of the power-off process in S816 is not completed. Therefore, in such a case (S708: Yes), the RAM work area is cleared to initialize each process of the sound lamp control device 113 (S709), the initial value of the RAM 223 is set (S710), and an interrupt is performed. The permission is set (S711), and the process proceeds to the main process. Note that the work area of the RAM 223 is an area other than an area for storing commands received from the main control device 110.

  On the other hand, when the power-off flag is turned off, the process of S708 is reached because the current start-up process is started after, for example, the power supply is completely shut down, so that the process of S708 is performed via the processes of S704 to S706. This is a case where the processing has been reached, or the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 is reset only (without receiving a power-off command from the main control device 110) due to noise or the like. Therefore, in such a case (S708: No), S709, which is the process of clearing the work area of the RAM 223, is skipped, the process proceeds to S710, the initial value of the RAM 223 is set (S710), and interrupt permission is set. In step S711, the process proceeds to the main process.

  Note that the reason for skipping the clear process in S709 is that if the process from S704 to S708 is reached via the process in S706, all storage areas in the RAM 223 have already been cleared by the process in S704. When only the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113 is reset due to noise or the like and the start-up process is started, the data in the work area of the RAM 223 is stored without being cleared, so that the sound lamp control device 113 is saved. This is because the control can be continued.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 30, the main process executed after the startup process of the sound lamp control device 113 will be described. FIG. 30 is a flowchart showing main processing executed by the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113. When the main process is executed, it is first determined whether or not 1 ms or more has elapsed since the main process was started (S801). If 1 ms or more has not elapsed (S801: No), the processes of S802 to S809 are performed. Without proceeding to S810. In step S801, it is determined whether or not 1 ms has elapsed. In steps S802 to S809, the process is related to display (production), and it is not necessary to edit in a short cycle (within 1 ms). This is because it is preferable to execute the counter update processing and the command reception processing in S811 in a short cycle. As a result, it is possible to prevent omission of a command transmitted from the main controller 110.

  If 1 ms or more has elapsed in the processing of S801 (S801: Yes), the output of each lamp is set so that the lighting mode of the display lamp 34 is set or the lighting mode of the lamp edited in the processing of S807 described later ( Thereafter, a power-on notification process is executed (S803). In the power-on notification process, when the power is turned on, a notification is given to notify that the power is turned on for a predetermined time (for example, 30 seconds). The notification is performed by the audio output device 226 or the lamp display device 227. Is called. Moreover, it is good also as what transmits a command to the display control apparatus 114 to alert | report that power was supplied on the screen of the 3rd symbol display apparatus 81. FIG. If it is not when the power is turned on, the process proceeds to S804 without performing the notification by the power-on notification process.

  In the process of S804, a waiting-for-customer effect is executed, and then a hold number display update process is executed (S805). In the customer waiting effect, when a predetermined time elapses when the pachinko machine 500 is not played by the player, a setting for switching the display of the third symbol display device 81 to the title screen is performed, and the setting is displayed as a command as a display control device. 114. In the number-of-holds display update process, a process for turning on the hold lamp 85 in accordance with the operation hold ball N is performed.

  Thereafter, frame button input monitoring / effect processing is executed (S806). This frame button input monitoring / production process monitors the input of whether or not the frame button 22 operated by the player has been pressed to enhance the production effect, and corresponds to the case where the input of the frame button 22 is confirmed. This is a process for setting to produce an effect. For example, when a notice character appears at the start of fluctuation display, the expected value of the jackpot due to the current fluctuation is displayed by pressing the frame button 22, or the feeling of expectation for the jackpot is displayed by pressing the frame button 22 during reach production. It is good also as a decision button for changing to the production which can have, or selecting one reach production out of a plurality of reach productions. If the frame button 22 is not provided, the process of S806 is omitted.

  When the frame button input monitoring / production process ends, a lamp editing process is executed (S807), and then a sound editing / output process is executed (S808). In the lamp editing process, lighting patterns and the like of the illumination units 29 to 33 are set so as to correspond to the display performed on the third symbol display device 81. In the sound editing / output process, an output pattern of the sound output device 226 is set so as to correspond to the display performed on the third symbol display device 81, and sound is output from the sound output device 226 according to the setting.

  Thereafter, a liquid crystal effect execution management process is executed (S809), and the process proceeds to S810. In the liquid crystal effect execution management process, a time synchronized with the time required for the variable display performed by the third symbol display device 81 is set based on the change pattern command and the effect time addition command transmitted from the main control device 110. Based on the time set in the liquid crystal effect execution monitoring process, the effect time of the lamp editing process in S807 and the sound editing / output process in S808 is set.

  In the process of S810, the variable display process of the third symbol display device 81 is executed. In this variation display process, a plurality of counters (a counter for setting a stop symbol at the time of big hit, a counter for selecting a stop symbol at the time of disconnection, etc.) mounted on the sound lamp control device 113 are updated. Based on the variation pattern command and the stop symbol command transmitted from the control device 110, the symbol to be stopped and displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is set, or the variation display pattern (rear / rear out, front / rear non-rear reach, complete out) Etc. are set. The stop symbol and the variation pattern are transmitted to the display control device 114 as a command.

  In the processing of S810, for example, when the command of the variation pattern transmitted from the main control device 110 is “completely out”, a complete out A pattern is selected from a plurality of patterns corresponding to complete out, and the third symbol display A command is transmitted to the display control device 110 so that the device 81 can produce a completely off A pattern. Therefore, since the detailed variation pattern displayed on the third symbol display device 81 is determined by the sound lamp control device 113 with respect to one variation pattern determined by the main control device 110, the control of the main control device 110 is performed. The burden can be reduced. Furthermore, since the pattern of each effect determined in the main controller 110 can be reduced, the storage capacity of the ROM 202 can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

  Then, the command from the main controller 110 is received (S811). When a command from the main control device 110 is received, if the command is used in the sound lamp control device 113 in accordance with the command, processing corresponding to the command is performed, the processing result is stored in the RAM 233, and used in the display control device 114. If it is a command, the command is transmitted to the display control device 114.

  When the processing of S811 is completed, it is determined whether or not the information on occurrence of power interruption is stored in the work RAM 233 (S812). The information on the occurrence of power-off is stored when a power-off command is received from the main controller 110. If power failure occurrence information is stored in the processing of S812 (S812: Yes), both the power interruption flag and the power interruption processing flag are turned on (S815), and the power interruption processing is executed (S816). After the power-off process is executed, the power-off process flag is turned off (S817), and then the process loops infinitely. In the power-off process, the generation of the interrupt process is prohibited and each output port is turned off to turn off the output from the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. Further, the storage of the information on occurrence of power interruption is also erased.

  On the other hand, if the information on occurrence of power interruption is not stored in the process of S812 (S812: No), either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, or both the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 are opened. If there is, the door opening notification process (S813) for performing notification using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 is executed.

  Here, the door opening notification process will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 31 is a flowchart showing a door opening notification process executed by the MPU 221 of the sound lamp control device 113. This door opening notification process determines whether or not the voice lamp control device 113 has received four commands of an inner frame opening command, a front frame opening command, an inner frame closing command, or a front frame closing command, and according to the determination. This is a process for performing notification.

  In the door opening notification process, it is first determined in step S811 (see FIG. 30) whether or not an inner frame opening command indicating that the inner frame 12 is opened has been received (S901). When the inner frame release command is received (S901: Yes), it is determined whether or not the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is on (S902). If the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is not on (S902: No), the inner frame release notification process, which is the process of S905 described later, has not yet been started, so that the inner frame release notification process is started. Transition to subsequent processing. First, the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is turned on to indicate that the inner frame release command has been received (S903), and the inner frame release command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S904). And the inner frame open | release notification process which alert | reports that the inner frame 12 is open | released using the audio | voice output device 226 and the lamp | ramp display device 227 is started (S905). In the inner frame release notification process, the voice output device 226 is used to notify, for example, an electronic sound that “the inner frame is open” or the inner frame 12 is opened using the lamp display device 227. For example, blinking is performed four times per second. Thereby, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the inner frame 12 has been opened.

  The main controller 110 repeatedly transmits an inner frame release command to the sound lamp controller 113 during the period when the inner frame 12 is open. Therefore, when the inner frame release command has already been received and the processing of steps S903 to S905 has been executed and the inner frame release command is received again (S901: Yes), the inner frame release command reception flag 223a. Is determined to be on (S902: Yes), and the already started inner frame release notification process (S905) is continued (S906). Thereby, during the period when the inner frame 12 is opened, the inner frame release notification process (S905) is continuously executed. If the inner frame release command has not been received in the process of S811 (S901: No), the processes of S903 to S906 are skipped.

  Next, in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30), it is determined whether or not a front frame opening command indicating that the front frame 14 is open is received (S907). When the front frame release command is received (S907: Yes), it is determined whether or not the front frame release command reception flag 223b is on (S908). If the front frame release command reception flag 223b is not on (S908: No), the front frame release notification process, which is the process of S911 described later, has not been started yet, so that the front frame release notification process is started. Transition to subsequent processing. First, the front frame release command reception flag 223b is turned on to indicate that the front frame release command has been received (S909), and the front frame release command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S910). Then, the front frame opening notification process for notifying that the front frame 14 is opened using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 is started (S911). In this front frame opening notification process, the voice output device 226 is used to notify, for example, an electronic sound that “the front frame is open” or the front frame 14 is opened using the lamp display device 227. For example, blinking is performed once per second. Thereby, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the front frame 14 has been opened.

  The main control device 110 repeatedly transmits a front frame opening command to the sound lamp control device 113 while the front frame 14 is open. Therefore, when the front frame release command has already been received and the processing of S909 to S911 has been executed and the front frame release command is received again (S907: Yes), the front frame release command reception flag 223b. Is determined to be on (S908: Yes), and the already started front frame opening notification process (S911) is continuously executed (S912). Thereby, during the period when the front frame 14 is opened, the front frame open notification process (S911) is continuously executed. If the front frame release command has not been received in the process of S811 (S907: No), the processes of S909 to S912 are skipped.

  Next, in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30), it is determined whether or not an inner frame closing command indicating that the inner frame 12 is closed is received (S913). When the inner frame closing command is received (S913: Yes), it is determined whether or not the inner frame opening command reception flag 223a is on (S914). If the inner frame release command reception flag 223a is on (S914: Yes), the inner frame release notification process (S905) is started, but the process (S917) for ending the inner frame release notification process described later is still executed. Since it is not performed, the process proceeds to S915 and subsequent steps in order to execute a process for ending the inner frame release notification process. First, the inner frame opening command reception flag 223a is turned off to indicate that the inner frame closing command has been received (S915), and the inner frame closing command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S916). Then, the inner frame release notification process that has been executed using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 is terminated (S917). Thereby, the notification indicating the opening of the inner frame 12 performed using the audio output device 226 or the lamp display device 227 can be terminated.

  The main control device 110 repeatedly transmits an inner frame closing command to the sound lamp control device 113 while the inner frame 12 is closed. Therefore, when the inner frame closing command has already been received and the processing of S915 to S917 has been executed and the inner frame closing command is received again (S913: Yes), the inner frame opening command reception flag 223a. Is determined to be off (S914: No), and the processing of S915 to S917 is skipped. Further, even when the inner frame closing command is not received in the processing of S811 (S913: No), the processing of S915 to S917 is skipped.

  Next, in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30), it is determined whether or not a front frame closing command indicating that the front frame 14 is closed is received (S918). When the front frame closing command is received (S918: Yes), it is determined whether or not the front frame opening command reception flag 223b is on (S919). If the front frame release command reception flag 223b is ON (S919: Yes), the front frame release notification process (S911) is started, but the process (S922) for ending the front frame release notification process described later is still executed. Since it is not performed, the process proceeds to S920 and subsequent steps in order to execute a process for ending the front frame opening notification process. First, the front frame open command reception flag 223b is turned off to indicate that the front frame close command has been received (S920), and the front frame close command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S921). And the front frame open | release alerting | reporting process currently performed using the audio | voice output apparatus 226 and the lamp display apparatus 227 is complete | finished (S922). Thereby, the notification indicating the opening of the front frame 14 performed using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 can be terminated.

  The main control device 110 repeatedly transmits a front frame closing command to the sound lamp control device 113 while the front frame 14 is closed. Therefore, when the front frame closing command has already been received and the processing of S920 to S922 has been executed and the front frame closing command is received again (S918: Yes), the front frame opening command reception flag 223a. Is determined to be off (S919: No), and the processing of S920 to S922 is skipped. Further, even when the front frame closing command is not received in the process of S811 (S918: No), the processes of S920 to S922 are skipped.

  As described above, when the voice lamp control device 113 receives the inner frame release command in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30), the inner frame release command reception flag 223a indicates that the inner frame release command has been received. It is turned on (S903), an inner frame release command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S904), and an inner frame release notification process is started (S905). Since the inner frame opening notification process (S905) is continuously performed until the inner frame 12 is closed, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the inner frame 12 is being opened. Similarly, when the voice lamp control device 113 receives a front frame release command in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30), the front frame release command reception flag 223b is turned on to indicate that the front frame release command has been received. (S909), a front frame release command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S910), and a front frame release notification process is started (S911). Since the front frame opening notification process (S911) is continuously performed until the front frame 14 is closed, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the front frame 14 is open.

  In addition, when the voice lamp control device 113 receives the inner frame closing command in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30), and the inner frame opening notification process (S905) has already been performed, the inner frame opening command reception flag. 223a is turned off to indicate that the inner frame closing command has been received (S915), the inner frame closing command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S916), and the inner frame opening notification process is terminated (S917). Similarly, when a front frame closing command is received in the process of S811 (see FIG. 30) and the front frame opening notification process (S911) has already been performed, the front frame opening command reception flag 223b is set. The command indicating that the command has been received is turned off (S920), a front frame closing command is transmitted to the display control device 114 (S921), and the front frame opening notification process is terminated (S922).

  Returning to the description of FIG. After the door opening notification process (S813) is executed, it is determined whether or not the RAM 223 is destroyed based on the keyword stored in the RAM 223 (S814). If the RAM 223 is not destroyed (S814: No), Returning to the process, the main process is repeatedly executed. On the other hand, if the RAM 223 is destroyed (S814: Yes), the processing is looped infinitely in order to stop the subsequent processing. Here, if it is determined that the RAM is destroyed and an infinite loop is performed, the main process is not executed, and thereafter the display on the third symbol display device 81 does not change. Therefore, since the player can know that an abnormality has occurred, he can call a hall clerk or the like to request repair of the pachinko machine 500 or the like. Further, when it is confirmed that the RAM 223 is destroyed, the sound output device 226 or the lamp display device 227 may notify the RAM destruction.

  Next, processing performed by the display control device 114 will be described with reference to FIGS. 32 and 33. For convenience of explanation, the external interrupt process of FIG. 33 will be described first, and then the main process of FIG. 32 will be described.

  FIG. 33 is a flowchart showing an external interrupt process executed by the MPU 231 in the display control device 114, and is executed when a command is received from the audio lamp control device 113. When the external interrupt process is executed, the command received by the processes of S1101 to S1106 is determined. If the received command is an effect permission command (S1101: Yes), the effect permission flag 233a of the work RAM 233 is turned on (S1108), and the external interrupt process is terminated. If the received command is a variation pattern command (S1101: No, S1102: Yes), the variation start flag 233b of the work RAM 233 is turned on (S1109), and the external interrupt process is terminated.

  Next, if the received command is an inner frame release command (S1101: No, S1102: No, S1103: Yes), the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c of the work RAM 233 has been received. Is turned on (S1110), and the display of “the inner frame is open” is started on the third symbol display device 81 (S1111). Thereafter, the external interrupt process is terminated. By starting the display on the third symbol display device 81, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the inner frame 12 is being opened. It should be noted that the characters “inner frame is open” displayed on the third symbol display device 81 are superimposed on the effect display displayed on the third symbol display device 81. Further, the characters “inner frame is open” indicate that the inner frame 12 is closed, that is, the inner frame 12 is closed and the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c is turned off. This is continuously displayed on the third symbol display device 81 until the process of S1115 is performed.

  Next, if the received command is a front frame release command (S1101: No, S1102: No, S1103: No, S1104: Yes), the display front frame release command reception flag 233d of the work RAM 233 is set to the front frame release command. When it is turned on to indicate that it has been received (S1112), the display of “the front frame is open” is started on the third symbol display device 81 (S1113). Thereafter, the external interrupt process is terminated. By starting display on the third symbol display device 81, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the front frame 14 is open. Note that the characters “front frame is open” displayed on the third symbol display device 81 are superimposed on the effect display displayed on the third symbol display device 81. The character “front frame is open” indicates that the front frame 14 is closed, that is, the front frame 14 is closed and the display front frame open command reception flag 233d is turned off. It is continuously displayed on the third symbol display device 81 until the processing of S1117 is performed.

  Next, if the received command is an inner frame closing command (S1101: No, S1102: No, S1103: No, S1104: No, S1105: Yes), the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c of the work RAM 233 is set. The display indicating that the inner frame closing command has been received is turned off (S1114), and the display of “the inner frame is open” on the third symbol display device 81 is deleted (S1115). Thereafter, the external interrupt process is terminated.

  Next, if the received command is a front frame closing command (S1101: No, S1102: No, S1103: No, S1104: No, S1105: No, S1106: Yes), a display front frame opening command reception of the work RAM 233 is received. The flag 233d is turned off to indicate that the front frame closing command has been received (S1116), and the display of “front frame is open” on the third symbol display device 81 is deleted (S1117). Thereafter, the external interrupt process is terminated.

  Finally, if the received command is not any of the effect permission command, the variation pattern command, the inner frame opening command, the front frame opening command, the inner frame closing command or the front frame closing command (S1101: No, S1102: No, S1103: No, S1104: No, S1105: No, S1106: No), processing corresponding to the other received command is executed (S1107), and the external interrupt processing is terminated. For example, if the received command is a stop command, a process for stopping the fluctuation performed in the third symbol display device 81 is executed.

  As described above, when receiving the inner frame release command, the display control device 114 turns on the display inner frame release command reception flag 233c of the work RAM 233 to indicate that the inner frame release command has been received (S1110). The display of “the inner frame is open” is started on the three symbol display device 81 (S1111). By starting the display on the third symbol display device 81, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the inner frame 12 is being opened. Similarly, when receiving the front frame release command, the display control device 114 turns on the display front frame release command reception flag 233d of the work RAM 233 to indicate that the front frame release command has been received (S1112), The display of “the front frame is open” is started on the symbol display device 81 (S1113). By starting display on the third symbol display device 81, it is possible to notify an unspecified number of people that the front frame 14 is open.

  When the display control device 114 receives the inner frame closing command when the display of “the inner frame is open” is started on the third symbol display device 81, the display inner frame opening command of the work RAM 233 is displayed. The reception flag 233c is turned off to indicate that the inner frame closing command has been received (S1114), and the display of “the inner frame is open” on the third symbol display device 81 is deleted (S1115). Similarly, when the display control device 114 receives a front frame closing command when the display of “front frame is open” is started on the third symbol display device 81, the display front frame for display of the work RAM 233 is released. The command reception flag 233d is turned off to indicate that the front frame closing command has been received (S1116), and the “front frame is open” display on the third symbol display device 81 is deleted (S1117).

  Next, with reference to FIG. 32, main processing executed by the display control device 114 will be described. FIG. 32 is a flowchart showing a main process executed by the MPU 231 in the display control apparatus 114, and this main process is started when the power is turned on. First, initial setting processing accompanying power-on is executed (S1001). Specifically, processing for initializing the MPU 231 and clearing the storage of the work RAM 233 and the video RAM 234 is performed. Thereafter, the compressed character information stored in the character ROM 235 is read (S1002), the read character information is decompressed, and the decompressed character information is stored in the video RAM 234 (S1003). Further, in order to display the initial screen, information corresponding to the initial screen is extracted from the character information written in the video RAM 234, and the video RAM 234 is different from the area in the video RAM 234 that stores the character information decompressed in the processing of S1003. The extracted character information is written in the area (S1004).

  Next, it is determined whether or not the effect permission flag 233a is turned on in order to determine whether or not the effect permission command transmitted from the main controller 110 has been received (S1005), and if the effect permission flag 233a is not turned on. (S1005: No), until the production permission command is transmitted from the main control device 110, that is, until the production permission flag 233a is turned on, the processing after S1006 is waited.

  If the result permission flag 233a is turned on as a result of the determination in S1005 (S1005: Yes), the character information extracted in the process of S1004 is displayed on the third symbol display device 81. And it transfers to the process after S1006.

  In the processing of S1006, it is determined whether or not the display executed on the third symbol display device 81 is a big hit (S1006). If it is not a big hit (S1006: No), the third symbol display device 81 It is determined whether or not the variation start flag 233b for permitting the start of variation display is turned on (S1007). As a result, if the variation start flag 233b is turned on (S1007: Yes), the variation start flag 233b is turned off (S1008), and the variation corresponding to the variation pattern command is started on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81. (S1009). Here, in the process of S1008, the fluctuation start flag 233b is turned off. In the pachinko machine 500 of this embodiment, when the fluctuation start flag 233b is turned on, fluctuation display is started on the third symbol display device 81. (S1007: Yes to S1009), unless the fluctuation start flag 233b is turned off, the fluctuation start process (S1009) is repeatedly executed, and normal processing is not executed.

  On the other hand, if the variation start flag 233b is OFF as a result of the determination in the processing of S1007 (S1007: No), or when variation starts in the processing of S1009, the variation effect processing is performed (S1010). In the variation effect process, when the variable display is continuously performed, the character information and the effect pattern information are updated and set (new extraction of the character information from the video RAM 234 and the extracted character information to the video RAM 234). When the variable display is not performed, the process proceeds to S1011 without performing any particular process. Here, in the process of S1011, in order to execute the process (S1006 to S1010) for performing the effects in the third symbol display device 81 every 20 ms, it is determined whether or not 20 ms or more has elapsed since the process of S1006 was started. Confirmation (S1011), if not, it waits until 20 ms or more elapses (S1011: No), and if 20 ms or more elapses (S1011: Yes), the processing shifts to processing of S1006.

  Further, if the result of the processing in S1006 is a big hit (S1006: Yes), the big hit effect processing is executed (S1012). In the jackpot effect process, the number of rounds, the number of prize balls are updated, images of backgrounds that are different for each round, etc. (new extraction of character information from the video RAM 234 and video RAM 234 of extracted character information) Write). After the big hit effect process (S1012) ends, the process shifts to the process of S1011.

  As described above, according to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b of the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine 500, When a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1, when the switch SW3-2 is turned on and the opening of the inner frame 12 is detected, a signal of a DC voltage of 5 volts is output to the input / output port 205. When this signal is input to the input / output port 205, the pachinko machine 500 transmits an inner frame release command to the audio lamp control device 113, and uses the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 to Announce the opening. The pachinko machine 500 transmits an inner frame release command to the display control device 114 via the sound lamp control device 113 and displays a message indicating the release of the inner frame 12 on the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, it is possible to clearly notify an unspecified number of persons that the inner frame 12 is being opened.

  Similarly, according to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b of the front frame open frame detection circuit 292 is supplied with power to the pachinko machine 500 from the DC power source DC1. When a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied, when the switch SW4-2 is turned on and the opening of the front frame 14 is detected, a signal of a DC voltage of 5 volts is output to the input / output port 205. When this signal is input to the input / output port 205, the pachinko machine 500 transmits a front frame opening command to the audio lamp control device 113, and uses the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 to display the front frame 14. Announce the opening. The pachinko machine 500 transmits a front frame opening command to the display control device 114 via the sound lamp control device 113 and displays a message indicating the opening of the front frame 14 on the third symbol display device 81. Therefore, it is possible to clearly notify an unspecified number of persons that the front frame 14 is being opened.

  On the other hand, according to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a of the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 is added to the case where a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1. For example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over, the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, and a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1 (the main controller 110 is stopped). Even if the switch SW3-1 is turned on to detect the opening of the inner frame 12, a pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262. The pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, by analyzing the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262, for example, even when the business hours of the game hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is shut off, Opening can be detected.

  Similarly, according to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a of the front frame open frame detection circuit 292 is supplied when a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1. In addition, for example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off and the DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1 (the main controller 110 is stopped) Even if the switch SW4-1 is turned on to detect the opening of the front frame 14, a pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output from the front frame external output terminal plate 293 to the hall computer 262. . The pulse signal output from the front frame external output terminal plate 293 is stored in the hall computer 262. Therefore, by analyzing the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262, for example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 is cut off, Opening can be detected.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 is opened when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 are cut off. When the inner frame 12 is opened, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 can be exhibited by the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a which is one circuit.

  In addition, when the front frame 14 is opened when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 500, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 and the power supply to the pachinko machine 500 are cut off. Sometimes, when the front frame 14 is opened, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 can be exhibited by the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a which is one circuit.

  The hall computer 262 continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 290a determines that the pulse signal is output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 and the time when the pulse signal is output, that is, the opening time of the inner frame 12 is also the hall computer. 262 can be stored. Similarly, the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a is configured so that the pulse signal is output from the front frame external output terminal board 293, and the time at which the pulse signal is output, that is, the opening time of the front frame 14 is also a hall. It can be stored in the computer 262.

  In the fourth embodiment, the pachinko machine 500 separately notifies the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. Further, the pachinko machine 500 uses the third symbol display device 81 to separately display the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the opening of the inner frame 12 and the opening of the front frame 14 may be performed in the same notification mode and display mode. Specifically, the notification performed using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 may be the same when the inner frame 12 is opened and when the front frame 14 is opened. Similarly, the display performed using the third symbol display device 81 may be the same when the inner frame 12 is opened and when the front frame 14 is opened. In this case, when either one of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 is opened, or when both are opened, the third symbol display device 81 may display “the door is open”.

  In the fourth embodiment, the pachinko machine 500 performs notification using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 when the inner frame 12 is opened or the front frame 14 is opened. Display was performed using the symbol display device 81. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and either one of notification using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227 or display using the third symbol display device 81 may be performed.

  Next, a pachinko machine 600 according to a fifth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment includes three switches SW3-1, SW3-2, and SW3-3 that are connected to the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment. The switch SW3A is changed to a switch SW3A having a built-in switch, and the switch SW4 connected to the front frame opening detection circuit 292 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment is replaced with the switches SW4-1, SW4-2, and SW4-3. After changing to the switch SW4A having two built-in switches, the Zener diode D3 used for the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the front frame opening detection circuit 292 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment is removed. (Without removing the Zener diode D3, the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the front frame opening detection It may be connected in the same manner as the circuit 292). In the future, what has been changed to the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment will be referred to as an inner frame opening detection circuit 300 in the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment, In the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment, a front frame frame opening detection circuit 302 is obtained by changing the front frame opening detection circuit 292 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment. Therefore, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment is changed to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a of the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment. In the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b of the pachinko machine 500 of the embodiment is changed to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b. Likewise, the front frame terminal board output circuit 292a of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment is changed to the front frame terminal board output circuit 302a in the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment. In the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment, the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment is changed to the front frame input / output port output circuit 302b.

  According to the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment, when the inner frame 12 is opened, it is stored in the capacitor CD7 of the integrating circuit 281 of the inner frame frame open detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a). When the inner frame 12 is closed, the generated charge is instantaneously discharged to the ground via the switch SW3-3 connected to the inner frame frame open detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a). can do. Similarly, when the front frame 14 is opened, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 of the integrating circuit 281 of the front frame open detection circuit 302 (front frame terminal board output circuit 302a) is closed. In this case, it is possible to instantaneously discharge to the ground via the switch SW4-3 connected to the front frame open frame detection circuit 302 (front frame terminal board output circuit 302a).

  Thus, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 of the integration circuit 281 is always zero before the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is again opened, so that the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is Even if the circuit is opened a plurality of times in a short time, the integration circuit 281 operates normally, and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1 regardless of the open period of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14. The falling period can be a fixed period (about 2 ms).

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment, as described above, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 of the integrating circuit 281 of the inner frame open-circuit detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) When the inner frame 12 is closed, it is discharged to the ground via the switch SW3-3 and stored in the capacitor CD7 of the integrating circuit 281 of the front frame open frame detection circuit 302 (front frame terminal plate output circuit 302a). The electric charge is discharged to the ground via the switch SW4-3 when the front frame 14 is closed. Therefore, unlike the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment, when the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened again and the switch SW3-1 or the switch SW4-1 is turned on, the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is reduced. An overvoltage (for example, a voltage of 12.3 volts) that is superimposed on the voltage supplied from the capacitor CD1 and destroys the timer IC1 is not applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate the need for the Zener diode D3 that prevents the application of an overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1.

  Also, according to the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment, as with the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, when a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14 Is released separately using the pachinko machine 600, whether the inner frame 12 has been opened, the front frame 14 has been opened, or both have been opened. be able to. Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment, in the same manner as the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, in addition to the case where a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, 12 volts from the DC power supply DC1. Even when the DC voltage is not supplied, if either the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is opened, pulse signals can be separately output to the hall computer 262. Therefore, it is possible to identify whether the inner frame 12 has been opened, the front frame 14 has been opened, or both have been opened by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262.

  In the description of the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment, the same parts as those of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted. Only different parts will be described.

  The structure of the switch SW3A connected to the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 300 and the switch SW4A connected to the front frame frame opening detection circuit 302 will be described with reference to FIG. The switch SW3A is obtained by adding the switch SW3-3 to the switch SW3 incorporating the switches SW3-1 and SW3-2, and the other structure is the same as the switch SW3. Similarly, the switch SW4A is obtained by adding the switch SW4-3 to the switch SW4 incorporating the switches SW4-1 and SW4-2, and the other structure is the same as the switch SW4. Therefore, in the switch SW3A and the switch SW4A, the same parts as those of the switches SW3 and SW4 are denoted by the same reference numerals, description thereof is omitted, and only different parts are described. Since the switch SW3A and the switch SW4A have the same structure, the structure of the switch SW3A will be described, and the description of the switch SW4A will be omitted.

  FIG. 34 is a cross-sectional view of the switch SW3A. FIG. 34A is a cross-sectional view showing a state (cut-off state) of the switch SW3A in a state where the inner frame 12 is closed. FIG. 34B is a cross-sectional view showing the state of the switch SW3A when the inner frame 12 is in the middle of opening or closing. Further, FIG. 34C is a cross-sectional view showing a state (conductive state) of the switch SW3A in a state where the inner frame 12 is opened.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (a), the switch SW3A connected to the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 is provided with a switch SW3-1 that performs the reverse operation of the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2. Yes. The switch SW3-3 is a conductor plate SW3-3a made of a metal that is a conductive member disposed on the movable shaft SW3a that contacts the closed state of the inner frame 12, and the conductor plate SW3-3a is opposed to the conductor plate SW3-3a. A pair of terminal plates SW3-3b made of metal disposed at a position, a support plate SW3-3c for arranging the pair of terminal plates SW3-3b in the housing SW3b, and a conductor plate SW3-3a A pair of springs SW3ca is provided on a surface facing the pair of terminal plates SW3-3b, and generates a biasing force in a direction opposite to the pair of terminal plates SW3-3b with respect to the conductor plate SW3-3a. ing. As described above, the switch SW3 includes three switches, ie, the switch SW3-1, the switch SW3-2, and the switch SW3-3.

  As shown in FIG. 34A, in a state where the inner frame 12 is closed, the movable shaft SW3a abuts on the inner frame 12, and the movable shaft SW3a is pushed into the housing SW3b. Therefore, the contact between the conductor plate SW3-1a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-1b is prevented, and the contact between the conductor plate SW3-2a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b is prevented. On the other hand, the conductor plate SW3-3a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-3b are in contact with each other. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed, both the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off, while the switch SW3-3 is turned on.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 34 (b), when the inner frame 12 is in the middle of opening or closing, the contact of the movable shaft SW3a with the inner frame 12 is released, so that the pair of springs SW3ca is attached. Due to the force, the contact between the conductor plate SW3-1a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-1b, the contact between the conductor plate SW3-2a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b, and the conductor plate SW3-3a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-3b. Any contact with is prevented. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is in the middle of opening or closing, the switch SW3-1, the switch SW3-2, and the switch SW3-3 are all disconnected.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 34 (c), when the inner frame 12 is opened, the conductor plate SW3-1a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-1b come into contact with each other by the biasing force of the pair of springs SW3ca. The conductor plate SW3-2a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-2b are in contact with each other. On the other hand, the contact between the conductor plate SW3-3a and the pair of terminal plates SW3-3b is hindered. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened, both the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are in a conductive state, while the switch SW3-3 is in a disconnected state.

  As described above, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 built in the housing SW3b are both in a cut-off state when the inner frame 12 is closed, and are in a conductive state when the inner frame 12 is opened. It becomes. On the other hand, the switch SW3-3 built in the housing SW3b operates in the reverse manner to the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2, and becomes conductive when the inner frame 12 is closed. In a state where 12 is opened, a cut-off state is established. That is, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 have a structure in which the conduction state and the cutoff state operate in conjunction with each other, and the switch SW3-3 is in a state opposite to the state of the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2. It has a structure that performs the following operations. However, the structure of the switch SW3A is not limited to the shape shown in FIG. 34. When the inner frame 12 is closed, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off, and the switch SW3-3 is turned on. On the other hand, when the inner frame 12 is open, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are in a conductive state and the switch SW3-3 is in a cut-off state. The same applies to the structure of the switch SW4A.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 35, the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 used in the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment will be described. FIG. 35 is a block diagram showing the electrical configuration of the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291. In addition, the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 of the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment replaces the switch SW3 connected to the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment with the switch SW3-1. , SW3-2 and SW3-3 are changed to a switch SW3A having a built-in switch, and the Zener diode D3 used in the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment is removed. Is. The inner frame opening detection circuit 300 has the same configuration as the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 described above with reference to FIG. Also, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 of the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment has the same structure as the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment. Therefore, the inner frame opening detection circuit 300 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 are not included in the same parts as the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 described above with reference to FIG. The same number is attached | subjected and the description is abbreviate | omitted and only a different part is demonstrated.

  Further, the front frame open frame detection circuit 302 used in the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment is different from the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 used in the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment. The switch to be used is only changed from the switch SW3A to the switch SW4A, and the other configuration is the same as that of the inner frame opening detection circuit 300. Further, the front frame external output terminal plate 293 used in the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment has the same configuration as the internal frame external output terminal plate 291 used in the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment. That is, it has the same structure as the external output terminal plate 291 for the inner frame of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment described above with reference to FIG. Therefore, the description of the front frame open frame detection circuit 302 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 35, the switch SW3-3 provided in the switch SW3A (see FIG. 34) has one end of the switch SW3-3 (one end of the terminal board 3-3b) connected to the other end of the switch SW3-1 ( The other end of the switch SW3-3 (the other end of the terminal plate 3-3b) is grounded while being connected to the other end of the terminal plate 3-2b) and one end of the capacitor CD7. As described above, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a of the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment is obtained by adding the switch SW3-3 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 290a of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment. Become. The inner-frame input / output port output circuit 300b of the pachinko machine 600 according to the fifth embodiment has the same configuration as the inner-frame input / output port output circuit 290b of the pachinko machine 500 according to the fourth embodiment.

  As described above, the switch SW3-3 used in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a performs an operation that is in a state opposite to the state of the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2. Therefore, in a state in which the inner frame 12 is closed, the switch SW3-3 is turned on and one end of the capacitor CD7 is grounded, while the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off. Become.

  When the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state, the switch SW3-3 is first cut off and then the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are turned on due to the structure of the switch SW3A (FIG. 34 (a) → FIG. 34 (b) → see FIG. 34 (c)). Thus, when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the opened state, first, one end of the capacitor CD7 is disconnected from the ground by the switch SW3-3, and then the power from the capacitor CD1 is switched to the switch SW3-1. To the capacitor CD7. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state, the capacitor CD1 that supplies power is not short-circuited to the ground. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the opened state, the power from the capacitor CD1 flows into the ground, and the inner frame frame open detection circuit 300 (the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) is short-circuited. Absent. When the inner frame 12 is opened, the switch SW3-1 is turned on, and the power of the capacitor CD1 is supplied to the capacitor CD7, the charge is stored in the capacitor CD7 as described above, and the increase of the stored charge is increased. As a result, the voltage generated in the capacitor CD7 increases. The falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 can be set to a certain period (about 2 ms) due to the change in the voltage generated in the capacitor CD7. In this way, the falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1 is adjusted by the integrating circuit 281, that is, adjusted by the capacitor CD 7 and the resistor R 10, so that a simple circuit can be used without using a complicated circuit. The falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1 can be set to a fixed period at a low cost with a configuration.

  Next, when the inner frame 12 changes from the opened state to the closed state, the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are first cut off and then the switch SW3-3 is turned on due to the structure of the switch SW3A ( FIG. 34 (c) → FIG. 34 (b) → see FIG. 34 (a)). As described above, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, the power supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the capacitor CD7 is first stopped by the switch SW3-1, and then one end of the capacitor CD7 is connected. Grounded via the switch SW3-3. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, the capacitor CD1 that supplies power is not short-circuited to the ground. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, the power from the capacitor CD1 does not flow into the ground, and the inner frame frame open detection circuit 300 is not short-circuit broken.

  When the inner frame 12 is closed and the switch SW3-1 is cut off and the power supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the capacitor CD7 is stopped, one end of the capacitor CD7 is grounded by the switch SW3-3. Can do. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 when the inner frame 12 is opened can be instantaneously discharged through the switch SW3-3 to zero. . Accordingly, since the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is always zero before the inner frame 12 is opened again, even if the inner frame 12 is opened several times in a short time. Thus, the integration circuit 281 operates normally, and the falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1 can be set to a certain period (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12.

  Further, as described above, when the inner frame 12 is in the closed state, the inner frame opening detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) stores in the capacitor CD7 when the inner frame 12 is in the opened state. The generated charge can be instantaneously discharged to the ground via the switch SW3-3. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 is turned on, the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is superimposed on the voltage supplied from the capacitor CD1, and an overvoltage (a voltage that destroys the timer IC1) For example, a voltage of 12.3 volts) is not applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate the need for a Zener diode that prevents the application of an overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1.

  Further, as described above, the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 changes the switch SW3 connected to the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment to the switch SW3A, and performs the fourth embodiment. The zener diode D3 used in the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 is removed, and the configuration is the same as that of the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 290 except for the above changes. Also, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 of the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment has the same structure as the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment.

  Therefore, similarly to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, when the power is supplied to the pachinko machine 600 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power supply DC1, the inner frame 12 is opened, When the switch SW3-2 provided in the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is turned on, a signal of 5 volts is output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205. When a signal of 5 volts is input to the input / output port 205, the pachinko machine 600 notifies the opening of the inner frame 12 using the audio output device 226 and the lamp display device 227. In addition, the pachinko machine 600 displays a message indicating the opening of the inner frame 12 on the third symbol display device 81. Further, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is turned on, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a opens from the inner frame external output terminal board 291 to the hall. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the computer 262.

  On the other hand, for example, when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is cut off, a DC voltage of 12 volts is not supplied from the DC power supply DC1, so the inner frame 12 is opened. Even if the switch SW3-2 provided in the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is turned on, no signal is input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 (inner frame input / output). The DC voltage input from the port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 becomes zero volts). However, for example, even when the business hours of the amusement hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is cut off, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is supplied with power from the capacitor CD1. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a is turned on, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a is connected to the inner frame external output terminal plate 291. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the hall computer 262.

  The pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the pachinko machine in which the inner frame 12 is opened can be specified by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262. Furthermore, the pulse signal is output from the external output terminal board 291 for the inner frame to the hall computer 262, and the output time of the output pulse signal is stored, so that the specified inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine is opened. The time can be detected.

  As described above, when the inner frame 12 is opened when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 600, a function of outputting a signal to the input / output port 205 and a function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262, In addition, when the inner frame 12 is opened when the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is cut off, the function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 has the function of detecting the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 300 as one circuit. Can demonstrate.

  One end of the switch SW3-2 of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is connected to the DC power supply DC1 and the anode terminal of the diode D1. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned on, the switch SW3-2 becomes conductive, and power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b. Thus, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is in an operating state. On the other hand, when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned off, no power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b, so the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 is opened. Even so, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is stopped.

  On the other hand, one end of the switch SW3-1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is connected to one end of the capacitor CD1 via the diode D2 and the resistor R10. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened while the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned on, the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive, and power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a. The inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is in an operating state. On the other hand, when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned off, the power supply from the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is stopped, but the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 is turned on. Then, since electric power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a enters an operating state. Here, when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned off and power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a, power supply to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is performed. It can be blocked by a diode D1 that exhibits a backflow prevention function. Therefore, when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned off, the number of times that the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a can be operated can be increased, and the number of times that the inner frame 12 can be detected can be increased.

  The timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is activated when the inner frame 12 is opened, the switch SW3-1 is turned on, and the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 falls to zero volts. It functions as a monostable multivibrator that raises the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 from zero volts to about 9.6 volts for about 10 ms from the fall. By providing the integration circuit 281 in front of the TRG terminal of the timer IC1, when the inner frame 12 is opened, the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1 can be increased regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12. The period from falling to zero volts until returning to about 10.3 volts can be adjusted to be shorter than the period in which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts. As described above, the integration circuit 281 makes the timer IC1 functioning as a monostable multivibrator by setting the falling period of the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 to a fixed period (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12. Is normally operated, and the period during which the voltage at the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts can be kept at about 10 ms. As a result, the period during which the current is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the photocoupler PR1 can be kept at about 10 ms, and the output period of the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262 is about 10 ms. Can be fastened.

  Next, referring to FIG. 36, the voltage (charge stored in capacitor CD7) applied to capacitor CD7, which changes according to the open / closed state of inner frame 12, regardless of whether the power of pachinko machine 600 is on or off. , The TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a, the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a, and the output of the inner frame external output terminal board 291 (of the hall computer 262). The relationship between the input) and the output of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b that changes according to the open / closed state of the inner frame 12 when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned on will be described. FIG. 36 shows an on / off state of the power supply of the pachinko machine 600 (a state of a direct current voltage supplied by the direct current power source DC1), an open state of the inner frame 12, a conduction state of the switch SW3-3, a switch SW3-1, The conduction cut-off state of the switch SW3-2, the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 (charge stored in the capacitor CD7), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a, and the inner frame terminal plate output 5 is a timing chart showing the relationship among the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 of the circuit 300a, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 (input of the hall computer 262), and the output of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b. is there.

  As described above, the front frame terminal board output circuit 302a provided in the front frame frame open detection circuit 302 is different from the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a in that the switch to be connected is the switch SW4-1. It is only a place where it is a switch SW3-1 and a switch SW4-3 or a switch SW3-3. Therefore, the operation of the front frame terminal board output circuit 302a is the same as the operation of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a, and therefore the description of the operation of the front frame terminal board output circuit 302a is omitted. Also, the front frame input / output port output circuit 302b differs from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b only in whether the connected switch is the switch SW4-2 or the switch SW3-2. is there. Therefore, since the operation of the front frame input / output port output circuit 302b is the same as the operation of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b, the description of the operation of the front frame input / output port output circuit 302b is omitted. . Furthermore, since the front frame external output terminal plate 293 has the same configuration as the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 as described above with reference to FIG. 35, the operation of the front frame external output terminal plate 293 is performed for the inner frame. This is the same as the external output terminal plate 291. Therefore, the description of the operation of the front frame external output terminal plate 293 is omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (a), the power source of the pachinko machine 600 is in an on state until t18 o'clock (the DC voltage supplied by the DC power supply DC1 is in a 12 volt state until t18 o'clock). The power source of the machine 600 is turned off (the DC voltage supplied from the DC power source DC1 is zero volts). Therefore, the power from the DC power supply DC1 is supplied to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a and the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b until t18. Then, after t18 time, the supply of power by the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a and the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is stopped. However, since the capacitor CD1 is provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a, power is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a after t18. Therefore, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is operable even after t18.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (b), when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state between the time t14 and the time t15, the switch SW3-3 follows the same as shown in FIG. 36 (c). From the conduction state to the cutoff state (at t14). Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are changed from the cutoff state to the conductive state (at time t15). The switch SW3-3 is cut off at t14 and the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are turned on at t15 due to the structure of the switch SW3A (FIG. 34 (a) → FIG. 34 (b) → (See FIG. 34 (c)).

  When the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive at t15, charging of the capacitor CD7 is started, and as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 starts to rise from zero volts (at t15). When the switch SW3-1 is turned on, the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 becomes the same as the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7, so that the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 10 as shown in FIG. • Falling from 3 volts to zero volts, and starts to rise (at t15). Following this, as shown in FIG. 36 (g), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at t15). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a are conducted, and the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the outer output terminal plate 291 for the inner frame (see FIG. 35), Current supply is started (at t15). Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (h), the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is changed from the low state to the high state at t15. Switch to state. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 to the hall computer 262 is started. Further, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state between t14 and t15, and the switch SW3-2 becomes conductive (at t15), the inner frame is inserted. Power from the DC power supply DC1 is supplied to the resistors R11 and R12 of the output port output circuit 300b, and the voltage applied to the resistor R12 becomes 5 volts (at t15). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 36 (i), a signal having a DC voltage of 5 volts is output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 (at t15).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 36E, when about 2 ms elapses from t15, the charging of the capacitor CD7 is completed, and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 becomes about 10.3 volts. Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (f), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 returns from zero volts to about 10.3 volts again (about 2 ms has elapsed since t15). However, since about 10 ms has not elapsed since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (from t15), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapses from time t15, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts as shown in FIG. Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. 36 (h) when about 10 ms elapses from t15. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. Thus, by switching the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (b), when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state between time t16 and time t17, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2. Is changed from the conductive state to the cut-off state at t16. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), the switch SW3-3 becomes conductive again (at time t17). The switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off at t16, and the switch SW3-3 is turned on at t17 due to the structure of the switch SW3A ((FIG. 34 (c) → FIG. 34 (b) (See FIG. 34 (a))).

  As shown in FIG. 36 (d), the switch SW3-1 is turned off (at t16), and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), when the switch SW3-3 is turned on (at t17), the capacitor CD7 is turned on. One end is grounded, and as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is instantaneously discharged between t15 and t16 (at t17). As a result, as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 becomes zero and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 becomes zero volts (at t17). Therefore, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is again set to a state in which the inner frame 12 can be detected (at t17). Further, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), when the switch SW3-2 is cut off (at t16), power is supplied from the DC power source DC1 to the resistors R11 and R12 of the input / output port output circuit 300b for the inner frame. Is stopped, and the voltage applied to the resistor R12 becomes zero volts (at t16). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 36 (i), the signal of the DC voltage of 5 volts output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 is stopped at t16 (inner frame input). The output from the output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 is zero volts at t16).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 36A, when the power source of the pachinko machine 600 is turned off after t18 (when the DC voltage supplied from the DC power source DC1 becomes zero volts), the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a. In addition, the supply of power by the DC power source DC1 to the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is stopped. However, even when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is off, the power from the capacitor CD1 is supplied to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes again from the closed state to the open state from t17 when the previous closed state is reached, for example, between t19 and t20, after about 3 minutes have elapsed, FIG. As shown in c), the switch SW3-3 is changed from the conductive state to the cut-off state (at t19), and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are changed from the cut-off state to the conductive state. (Time t20), charging of the capacitor CD7 is started. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 starts to rise from zero volts (at t20). The switch SW3-3 is cut off at t19 and the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are turned on at t20 due to the structure of the switch SW3A (FIG. 34 (a) → FIG. 34 (b) → (See FIG. 34 (c)).

  As shown in FIG. 36 (d), when the switch SW3-1 changes from the cutoff state to the conductive state (at t20), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 becomes the same as the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7. As shown in (f), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 once rises from about 10.3 volts to zero volts, and then starts to rise (at t20). Following this fall, as shown in FIG. 36 (g), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC 1 rises from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (at t20). As a result, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a are electrically connected to the light emitting diode on the primary side of the photocoupler PR1 of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 (see FIG. 35). Current supply is started (at t20). Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (h), the output of the light receiving element (phototransistor) on the secondary side of the photocoupler PR1, that is, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is changed from the low state to the high state at t20. Switch to state. Thereby, output of a pulse signal indicating opening of the inner frame 12 to the hall computer 262 is started. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), even when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state again from t19 to t20, and the switch SW3-2 becomes conductive (at t20). Since power from the DC power supply DC1 is not supplied to the resistors R11 and R12 of the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b (since the DC voltage supplied from the DC power supply DC1 is zero volts), the voltage applied to the resistor R12 Becomes zero volts (at t20). Therefore, as shown in FIG. 36 (i), the signal output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 maintains the stopped state (input from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b). The output to output port 205 remains at zero volts).

  Next, as shown in FIG. 36 (e), when about 2 ms elapses from t20, the charging of the capacitor CD7 is completed, and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 becomes about 10.3 volts. Then, as shown in FIG. 36 (f), the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 returns from zero volts to about 10.3 volts again (about 2 ms has elapsed since t20). However, since about 10 ms has not elapsed since the voltage of the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 rose from zero volts to about 9.6 volts (from t20), the OUT terminal voltage of the timer IC1 is about 9.6 volts. The state is maintained.

  Thereafter, when about 10 ms elapses from t20, the timer IC1 switches the voltage at the OUT terminal from about 9.6 volts to zero volts as shown in FIG. Then, the collector terminal and the emitter terminal of the transistor TR1 of the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a are cut off, and the current supply to one end of the resistor R7a of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stopped. Therefore, the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 switches from the high state to the low state as shown in FIG. 36 (h) when about 10 ms elapses from t20. Thereby, the output of the pulse signal output to the hall computer 262 is stopped. Thus, by switching the output of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291, the pulse width of the pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262 can be kept at about 10 ms.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (b), when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state between time t21 and time t22, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3- 2 changes from the conduction state to the cutoff state at t21. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), the switch SW3-3 becomes conductive again (at t22). The switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off at t21, and the switch SW3-3 is turned on at t22 due to the structure of the switch SW3A ((FIG. 34 (c) → FIG. 34 (b) → FIG. 34 (a)))).

  As shown in FIG. 36 (d), the switch SW3-1 is turned off (at time t21), and thereafter, as shown in FIG. 36 (c), when the switch SW3-3 is turned on (at time t22), the capacitor One end of CD7 is grounded, and as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is instantaneously discharged between t20 and t21 (at t22). As a result, as shown in FIG. 36 (e), the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 becomes zero and the voltage applied to the capacitor CD7 becomes zero volts (at t22). Therefore, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is again set to a state in which the inner frame 12 can be detected (at t22). Also, as shown in FIG. 36 (d), when the switch SW3-2 is turned off (at t21), the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b causes the inner frame when the power of the pachinko machine 600 is turned on. 12 is set in a state where detection is possible (at t21).

  As described above, the inner frame opening detection circuit 300 (the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) shuts off the switch SW3-1 when the inner frame 12 is in a closed state (at t17 and t22), and the capacitor CD1. After the power supplied to the capacitor CD7 is stopped, one end of the capacitor CD7 can be grounded by the switch SW3-3. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is closed (at t17 and t22), the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 when the inner frame 12 is opened (from the charge stored at t15 to t16 and from t20) The charge stored at t21) can be instantaneously discharged through the switch SW3-3 to zero (at t17 and t22). As a result, since the electric charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is always zero before the inner frame 12 is again opened, it is assumed that the inner frame 12 has been continuously opened several times in a short time. However, the integration circuit 281 operates normally, and the falling period of the voltage applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC 1 can be set to a certain period (about 2 ms) regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12.

  Further, the inner frame opening detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) is configured such that when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the opened state (from t14 to t15 and from t19 to t20), the switch SW3A Structurally, first, after the switch SW3-3 is cut off (at t14 and t19), the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are turned on (at t15 and t20). Thus, when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state, first, one end of the capacitor CD7 is disconnected from the ground by the switch SW3-3 (at t14 and t19), and then from the capacitor CD1. Is supplied to the capacitor CD7 via the switch SW3-1 (at t15 and t20). Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the open state, the capacitor CD1 that supplies power is not short-circuited to the ground. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the closed state to the opened state, the power from the capacitor CD1 flows into the ground, and the inner frame frame open detection circuit 300 (the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) is short-circuited. Absent.

  Similarly, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state (from t16 to t17 and from t21 to t22), the inner frame opening detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) switches SW3A. First, after the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are cut off (at t16 and t21), the switch SW3-3 is turned on (at t17 and t22, see FIG. 34). . In this way, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, first, the power supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the capacitor CD7 is stopped by the switch SW3-1 (at t16 and t21), and thereafter Then, one end of the capacitor CD7 is grounded via the switch SW3-3 (at t17 and t22). Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, the capacitor CD1 that supplies power is not short-circuited to the ground. Therefore, when the inner frame 12 changes from the open state to the closed state, the power from the capacitor CD1 flows into the ground, and the inner frame open-circuit detection circuit 300 (inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) is short-circuited. Absent.

  Further, the inner frame opening detection circuit 300 (the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a) is configured such that when the inner frame 12 is in the closed state (at t17 and t22), The charge stored in CD7 (the charge stored from t15 to t16 and the charge stored from t20 to t21) can be instantaneously discharged to the ground via the switch SW3-3 (at t17 and t22). Therefore, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 is turned on (at t15 and t20), the charge stored in the capacitor CD7 is superimposed on the voltage supplied from the capacitor CD1, and the timer IC1 is set. An overvoltage (for example, a voltage of 12.3 volts) having such a magnitude as to destroy is not applied to the TRG terminal of the timer IC1. Accordingly, it is possible to eliminate the need for a Zener diode that prevents the application of an overvoltage large enough to destroy the timer IC1.

  Further, as described above, the inner frame open frame detection circuit 300 changes the switch SW3 connected to the inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment to the switch SW3A, and performs the fourth embodiment. The zener diode D3 used in the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 290 of the pachinko machine 500 is removed, and the configuration is the same as that of the inner frame frame opening detection circuit 290 except for the above changes. Also, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 of the pachinko machine 600 of the fifth embodiment has the same structure as the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 of the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment.

  Therefore, similarly to the pachinko machine 500 of the fourth embodiment, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 600 and a DC voltage of 12 volts is supplied from the DC power source DC1 (until t18 o'clock), When the frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is turned on, the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a is transferred from the inner frame external output terminal board 291 to the hall computer 262. A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output. Further, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 provided in the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b is turned on, a signal of 5 volts is sent from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205. Is output.

  Further, for example, even when the business hours of the game hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is interrupted (even after t18), the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a has Since the power is supplied from the capacitor CD1, when the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 provided in the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a is turned on, the inner frame terminal plate output circuit 300a is A pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 to the hall computer 262. However, for example, when the business hours of the game hall are over and the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is cut off (in the case of t18 or later), a DC voltage of 12 volts from the DC power source DC1 is Since the internal frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-2 provided in the internal frame input / output port output circuit 300b is turned on, the internal frame input / output is not supplied to the internal input / output port output circuit 300b. No signal is output from the port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 (the DC voltage output from the inner frame input / output port output circuit 300b to the input / output port 205 is zero volts).

  Thus, when power is supplied to the pachinko machine 600, when the inner frame 12 is opened, a function of outputting a signal to the input / output port 205 and a function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262, The function of outputting a pulse signal to the hall computer 262 when the inner frame 12 is opened when the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is cut off is a single circuit inner frame open detection circuit 300. Can demonstrate.

  The pulse signal output from the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is stored in the hall computer 262 that continues to operate for 24 hours. Therefore, the pachinko machine in which the inner frame 12 is opened can be specified by the pulse signal stored in the hall computer 262. Furthermore, the pulse signal is output from the external output terminal board 291 for the inner frame to the hall computer 262, and the output time of the output pulse signal is stored, so that the specified inner frame 12 of the pachinko machine is opened. The time can be detected.

  When the inner frame 12 is opened and the switch SW3-1 and the switch SW3-2 are turned on, the timer IC1 of the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a does not depend on the conduction period of the switch SW3-1. Regardless of the opening period of the inner frame 12, when the switch SW3-1 becomes conductive and the TRG terminal voltage of the timer IC1 falls from about 10.3 volts to zero volts, about 10 ms elapses, the OUT terminal of the timer IC1 Switch the voltage from about 9.6 volts to zero volts. Thereby, the supply period of the current supplied to the photocoupler PR1 of the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is about 10 ms.

  Thus, for example, the business hours of the amusement hall are over, and the power supply to the pachinko machine 600 is cut off, and the DC power supply DC1 to 12 volts DC is supplied to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a and the inner frame external output terminal board 291. When no voltage is supplied, that is, when a DC voltage of about 10.3 volts is supplied from the capacitor CD1 to the inner frame terminal board output circuit 300a and the inner frame external output terminal board 291, the photocoupler PR1 is supplied from the capacitor CD1. The supply period of the current supplied to can be kept at about 10 ms per opening of the inner frame 12. Therefore, the power consumption due to the opening of the inner frame 12 can be kept small.

  In each embodiment, the hall computer 262 has a different installation location from the pachinko machine for the pulse signals output from the external output terminal plate 261, the internal frame external output terminal plate 291 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293. However, this is not a limitation. A dedicated storage device having the function of the hall computer 262 may be provided for each pachinko machine, and the dedicated storage device may be provided on the back side of each pachinko machine in which the main controller 110 and the like are provided. In this case, more preferably, a dedicated storage device such as the main control device 110, the payout control device 111, and the launch control device 112 is stored in the substrate box, and the box base and the box cover provided in the substrate box are stored. Are connected by a sealing unit (not shown) so that they cannot be opened (connection by caulking structure). Then, a seal seal (not shown) is attached to the connecting portion between the box base and the box cover so as to cover the box cover and the box base.

  In the fourth and fifth embodiments, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 are provided on separate substrates, but the present invention is not limited to this. The inner frame external output terminal plate 291 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 may be provided on the same substrate. Even when the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 are provided on the same substrate, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 is provided with the inner frame frame open detection circuit 290. The front frame external output terminal plate 293 is connected to the front frame open frame detection circuit 292. Then, the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 separately output pulse signals to the hall computer 262.

  In the fourth and fifth embodiments, the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 for detecting the opening of the inner frame 12 and the front frame opening detection circuit 292 for detecting the opening of the front frame 14 are separately provided. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When outputting to the hall computer 262 without distinguishing the opening of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14, the following configuration may be used. First, the front frame opening detection circuit 292 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 are removed, and the inner frame opening detection circuit 290 and the inner frame external output terminal plate 291 are left in the main controller 110. Then, the switch SW3 and the switch SW4 may be connected in parallel and connected to the inner frame opening detection circuit 290. With this configuration, it is possible to output to the hall computer 262 without distinguishing the opening of the inner frame 12 and the front frame 14. It should be noted that what is left in main controller 110 may be front frame open frame detection circuit 292 and front frame external output terminal plate 293 instead of inner frame open frame detection circuit 290 and inner frame external output terminal plate 291. .

  In the fourth and fifth embodiments, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is used to output a signal of 5 volts to the input / output port 205 when the inner frame 12 is opened. It is not limited. When a 5 volt signal is output to the input / output port 205 when the inner frame 12 is opened without using the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b, the following configuration may be used. First, the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is removed from the inner frame frame open detection circuit 290 (the DC power source DC1 remains). Next, a resistor is connected in series between the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 and the ground, and the input / output port 205 is connected to a connection point between the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 and the resistor connected in series. When the collector terminal c and the emitter terminal e of the transistor TR1 are conducted, that is, when the inner frame 12 is opened, a resistor connected in series so that a signal of 5 volts is output to the input / output port 205. Adjust the value. As a result, when the inner frame 12 is opened while the switch SW3-2, the resistor R11 and the resistor R12 are not required, a signal of 5 volts is output to the input / output port 205, and a pulse signal having a pulse width of 10 ms is output to the hall computer. 262 can be output. In the above description, the case where the inner frame input / output port output circuit 290b is not necessary has been described. However, when the front frame input / output port output circuit 292b is not required, the front frame frame open detection circuit is also provided. A similar procedure may be applied to 292.

  In the first to fifth embodiments, the external output terminal plate 261, the internal frame external output terminal plate 291 and the front frame external output terminal plate 293 are connected to the hall computer 262, and the external output terminal plate 261 is connected. A pulse signal is output from the external output terminal plate 291 for the inner frame and the external output terminal plate 293 for the front frame to the hall computer 262, and the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 is stored in the hall computer 262. It is not limited to. For example, a pachinko machine is provided with an EEPROM (Electronically Erasable and Programmable Read Only Memory) and a backup RAM. Then, the external output terminal board 261, the inner frame external output terminal board 291 and the front frame external output terminal board 293 are connected to the EEPROM and the backup RAM. With this configuration, the opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be stored in the EEPROM or the backup RAM. When the power of the pachinko machine is turned on, the MPU 201 confirms the storage of the EEPROM and the backup RAM. Thereby, opening of the inner frame 12 or the front frame 14 can be detected using a pachinko machine. That is, the role of the hall computer 262 can be assigned to the EEPROM or the backup RAM (the role of the “specific device” described in the claims can be assigned to the EEPROM or the backup RAM). Note that the RAM 203 may be used as the backup RAM.

  The present invention has been described above based on one embodiment. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications and improvements can be easily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Can be inferred.

  For example, in each of the above embodiments, each command is transmitted from the main control device 110 to the sound lamp control device 113, and the sound lamp control device 113 issues a display instruction to the display control device 114. However, the command may be directly transmitted from the main control device 110 to the display control device 114. Further, an audio lamp control device may be connected to the display control device, and a command instructing the output of each sound and the lighting of the lamp may be transmitted from the display control device to the audio lamp control device. Furthermore, the sound lamp control device and the display control device may be configured as one control device.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although it was comprised so that the winning to the 1st entrance 64 and the passage of the 2nd entrance 67 might be held up to 4 times, respectively, the maximum number of times of holding was 4 times. It is not limited and may be set to 3 times or less, or 5 times or more (for example, 8 times). In addition, the number of times the variable display is held based on the winning at the first entrance 64 is different for the part of the third symbol display device 81 by a number or by dividing the number of four divided areas by the number of times of the hold. It may be displayed in a mode (for example, color or lighting pattern), and a light emitting member such as a lamp is provided separately from the first symbol display device 37, and the number of holding times is notified by the light emitting member. You may do it.

  Further, as shown in the above embodiment, the variable display, which is a kind of dynamic display, is not limited to the one that scrolls the symbol as identification information in the vertical direction on the display screen of the third symbol display device 81, It may be performed by moving and displaying symbols along a predetermined route such as a horizontal direction or an L shape. In addition, the dynamic display of the identification information is not limited to the display of variation of the symbol. For example, one or a plurality of characters may be displayed in various manners together with the symbol or displayed in a variety of manners separately from the symbol. The effect display etc. which are displayed are also included. In this case, one or more characters are used as the third symbol.

  You may implement this invention in the pachinko machine etc. of a type different from the said embodiment. For example, the present invention may be applied to a so-called second type pachinko gaming machine having a winning device having a special area such as a V zone. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, the game machine may be implemented as another game machine such as an alepacchi or a sparrow ball.

  You may implement this invention in the pachinko machine etc. of a type different from the said embodiment. For example, once a big hit, a pachinko machine that raises the expected value of the big hit until a big hit state occurs (for example, two times or three times) including that (for example, a two-time right item, a three-time right item) May also be implemented. Further, after the jackpot symbol is displayed, it may be implemented as a pachinko machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that a ball is won in a predetermined area. Further, the present invention may be implemented in a pachinko machine that has a special area such as a V-zone and has a special gaming state as a necessary condition for winning a ball in the special area. Further, in addition to the pachinko machine, the game machine may be implemented as various game machines such as an alepatchi, a sparrow ball, a slot machine, a game machine in which a so-called pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated.

  In the slot machine, for example, a symbol is changed by operating a control lever in a state where a symbol effective line is determined by inserting coins, and a symbol is stopped and confirmed by operating a stop button. Is. Accordingly, the basic concept of the slot machine is that it is provided with a display device for confirming and displaying the identification information after variably displaying the identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information, and resulting from the operation of the starting operation means (for example, the operation lever). The variation display of the identification information is started, and the variation display of the identification information is stopped and fixedly displayed due to the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, the stop button) or when a predetermined time elapses. It is a slot machine that generates a special game that gives a player a predetermined game value on the condition that the combination of identification information at the time is a specific condition. In this case, the game medium is typically a coin, medal, etc. Take as an example.

  In addition, as a specific example of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are fused, a display device is provided that displays a symbol after a symbol string composed of a plurality of symbols is variably displayed, and has a handle for launching a ball. What is not. In this case, after throwing a predetermined amount of spheres based on a predetermined operation (button operation), for example, the change of the symbol is started due to the operation of the operation lever, for example, due to the operation of the stop button, or With the passage of time, the variation of the symbol is stopped, and a special game that gives a predetermined game value to the player is generated on the condition that the determined symbol at the time of stoppage is a so-called jackpot symbol. In this case, a large amount of balls are paid out to the lower tray.

  Hereinafter, in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention, concepts of various inventions included in the various embodiments described above are shown. A gaming machine comprising: a main body; a door body that opens and closes a front surface of the main body; and a control unit that is provided in a space formed by the door body and the main body and controls a game. Door opening detecting means for detecting opening of the body, and when the door opening detecting means detects the opening of the door body, if the door body is in the initial state, the door body is operated by the operation from the initial state to a specified time. A period adjusting means for outputting a signal that becomes a predetermined output period regardless of the opening period of the door, and a detection result by the door opening detecting means is output to the specific device based on the signal output by the period adjusting means. Output means, and power supply means for operating the output means and the period adjusting means by supplying electric power, and the door opening detecting means initially sets the period adjusting means when the closing of the door body is detected. The power supply means includes an off-operation means for supplying power to the output means and the period adjusting means when the gaming machine is powered off. A gaming machine A1 characterized by

  According to the gaming machine A1, when the opening of the door body is detected by the door opening detection means, the period adjusting means is determined in advance regardless of the opening time of the door body by the operation from the initial state to the specified time. Outputs a signal for the output period. Then, the output means outputs the detection result to the specific device based on the signal output from the period adjusting means. Here, the output period of the signal output by the period adjusting means is determined by the operation of the period adjusting means from the initial state to the specified time. In order to cause the period adjusting means to output a signal that is a predetermined output period regardless of the opening time of the door body, the initialization means includes a period adjusting means when the door opening detecting means detects the closing of the door body. To the initial state. Therefore, the period adjusting means can always operate from the initial state when the door opening detecting means detects the opening of the door body. Therefore, every time the door opening detection unit detects the opening of the door body, the period adjusting unit is operated normally and stably from the initial state to the specified time, thereby providing a predetermined output period for the period adjusting unit. The signal can be output normally and stably, and the detection result can be output normally and stably from the output means to the specific device.

  In addition, according to the gaming machine A1, in addition to the state where the power source of the gaming machine is turned on, even if the power source of the gaming machine is turned off and the control means is stopped, the door opening detection means detects the door body. When opening is detected, power is supplied to the output means and the period adjusting means by the off-operation means. Therefore, even when the gaming machine is turned off and the control means is stopped, when the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body, a signal that becomes a predetermined output period by the period adjustment means Is output, and the output means outputs the detection result to the specific device based on the output signal. Therefore, for example, even if the door body is opened by an unauthorized act by someone after the store is closed with all the gaming machines turned off, the gaming machine with the door body opened can be identified by the specific device.

  In addition, the inside of the space formed by the door body and the main body indicates the back surface or the back surface side (including the back surface side of the main body) of the door body that cannot be touched by a hand when the door body is closed. The detection result output from the output means provided for each of the plurality of gaming machines may be received by one specific device, or a specific device is provided for each gaming machine, and the specific device is distributed to each gaming machine. May be installed. When a specific device is installed in each gaming machine, the box base and the box cover covering the opening of the box base are connected to each other, and the specific device is specified in the space formed by the box cover and the box base. Store the device. Then, the box cover and the box base are connected by the sealing unit so that they cannot be opened. Further, a seal seal is attached to the connecting portion between the box cover and the box base over the box cover and the box base. In addition, a specific device may be disposed on the back surface or the back surface side of the door body.

  In the gaming machine A1, the door opening detecting means includes a stopping means for stopping power supply to the period adjusting means by the power supply means when the closing of the door body is detected. A2.

  According to the gaming machine A2, when the door opening detection means detects the closing of the door body, the stop means stops the power supply by the power supply means to the period adjustment means. Therefore, the period adjusting means can be set to the initial state by the initializing means while the operation of the period adjusting means is stopped by the stopping means. Therefore, the period adjusting means can be in a normal and stable initial state.

  In the gaming machine A1 or A2, the period adjusting unit is configured using a power storage unit that stores a charge, and the charge stored in the power storage unit by the power supplied from the initial state to a specified time by the power source unit. The game machine A3 is characterized in that the voltage generated along with the above is output as a signal for the predetermined output period.

  According to the gaming machine A3, when power from the power supply means is supplied to the power storage means constituting the period adjusting means from the initial state to the specified time, electric charge is stored in the power storage means. The period adjusting means outputs a voltage generated with the electric charge stored in the power storage means as a signal that becomes a predetermined output period. In this way, by configuring the period adjusting unit with the power storage unit, a signal having a predetermined output period can be output with a simple configuration without using a complicated circuit as the period adjusting unit.

  In the gaming machine A3, the initialization means discharges the charge stored in the power storage means constituting the period adjusting means when the door opening detection means detects the closing of the door body, thereby A gaming machine A4, characterized by comprising discharging means for initializing the means.

  According to the gaming machine A4, when the door opening detecting means detects the closing of the door body, the discharging means discharges the charge stored in the power storage means constituting the period adjusting means. Therefore, when the door opening detection means detects the door opening, the electric charge stored in the power storage means is discharged to zero by the discharging means when the door opening detection means detects the door closing. can do. Thereby, when the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body, the period adjusting means constituted by the power storage means can always operate from the initial state. Therefore, every time the door opening detection unit detects the opening of the door body, the period adjusting unit is operated normally and stably from the initial state to the specified time, thereby providing a predetermined output period for the period adjusting unit. The signal can be output normally and stably, and the detection result can be output normally and stably from the output means to the specific device. An example of a method for discharging the power storage means is to short-circuit the power storage means to the ground.

  In any one of the gaming machines A2 to A4, the stopping means is a releasing means for releasing the electrical connection between the power supply means and the period adjusting means when the door opening detecting means detects the closing of the door body. A gaming machine A5, comprising:

  According to the gaming machine A5, when the closing of the door body is detected by the door opening detecting means, the electrical connection between the power supply means and the period adjusting means is released by the releasing means. Therefore, the period adjusting means can be brought into the initial state by the initializing means or the discharging means in a state where the power supply to the period adjusting means is stopped by the releasing means. Therefore, the period adjusting means can be in a normal and stable initial state.

  In the gaming machine A5, when the door opening detection unit detects the opening of the door body, the initialization unit releases a short circuit caused by the discharging unit between the power storage unit and the ground constituting the period adjusting unit. A discharge release means, and the stop means stops the release of electrical connection by the release means between the power supply means and the period adjusting means when the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body. Power supply restarting means for restarting power supply to the period adjusting means by the power supply means, and when the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body, the power supply restarting means After the short circuit caused by the discharging means between the power storage means and the ground constituting the period adjusting means is released by the discharge releasing means, the electricity by the releasing means between the power supply means and the period adjusting means When the release of the connection is stopped, the power supply to the period adjusting means is restarted, and the door opening detecting means detects the closing of the door body, the discharging means is the power supply means. And after the electrical connection between the period adjusting means and the period adjusting means is released by the releasing means, the electric storage means constituting the period adjusting means is short-circuited to the ground, and the electric charge stored in the electric storage means is discharged. A gaming machine A6.

  According to the gaming machine A6, when the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body, the power supply restarting means first uses a short circuit between the power storage means and the grant constituting the period adjustment means as the discharge release means. After the release, the power supply from the power supply means to the period adjusting means is resumed. On the other hand, when closing of the door body is detected by the door opening detecting means, the discharging means first causes the releasing means to release the electrical connection between the power supply means and the period adjusting means, and then configures the period adjusting means. The power storage means to be short-circuited to the ground discharges the charge stored in the power storage means. Therefore, neither the case where the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body nor the case where the door opening detection means detects the closing of the door body will cause a short circuit between the power supply means and the ground. . Therefore, it is possible to reliably prevent damage to the power supply means and the like due to a short circuit between the power supply means and the ground.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A6, the game machine includes an output period limiting unit that keeps one output period of the output unit within a predetermined period. The gaming machine A7 is configured to operate by supplying power to the output period limiting means.

  According to the gaming machine A7, one output period by the output means is kept within a predetermined period by the output period limiting means. Similarly to the output means and the period adjustment means, the output period limiting means operates by receiving power supply from the off-time operation means while the gaming machine is turned off. Can be kept within a predetermined period, and consumption of the off-operation means during the power-off of the gaming machine can be suppressed. Therefore, the frequency | count of operation | movement of an output means can be increased and the frequency | count of detection of opening of a door body can be increased.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A7, the off-operation means is configured to be rechargeable by electric power supplied from a power source of the gaming machine.

  According to the gaming machine A8, the off-operation means is charged by the power supplied to the gaming machine while the gaming machine is powered on, so the gaming machine power is turned on in accordance with the business hours of the game hall. The operating means can be charged only during the off-state. Therefore, when the door is opened while the power of the gaming machine is turned off after the game hall is closed, the output means and the period adjusting means (and the output period limiting means) are operated by the off-operation means. The detection result by the door opening detection means can be reported to the specific device.

  In the gaming machine A7 or A8, the output means outputs a detection result to the specific device based on the output from the output period restriction means, and the output period restriction means causes the door opening detection means to detect the door body. A gaming machine A9 that outputs to the output means during the predetermined period when release is detected.

  According to the gaming machine A9, to the output means for outputting the detection result to the specific device based on the output from the output period limiting means, during the predetermined period when the door opening detection is detected by the door opening detection means, Output is performed by the output period limiting means. Therefore, the output operation to the output means by the output period limiting means can be stopped within a predetermined period for each opening of the door body. Accordingly, it is possible to suppress consumption of the off-operation means while the power of the gaming machine is turned off, and to increase the number of times that the output means can be operated, thereby increasing the number of times that the door body can be detected.

  In the gaming machine A9, the output period limiting unit stops output to the output unit when the door opening detection unit does not detect the opening of the door body.

  According to the gaming machine A10, the output of the output period limiting unit to the output unit that outputs the detection result to the specific device is stopped when the door opening detection unit does not detect the opening of the door body. Therefore, when the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door body, it is possible to suppress the power consumed by the output operation of the output period restriction means.

Therefore, when the door body is opened while the power of the gaming machine is turned off after the game hall is closed, the specifying output means and the output period limiting means are operated by the off-operation means, and the door The detection result by the opening detection means can be reported to the specific device.

  In any one of the gaming machines C2 to C4, a diode that allows a current supplied from the power supply means to flow in one direction is provided, and the off-operation means is configured using a capacitor or a secondary battery, and the door opening detection means Is configured to be turned on when the door is open, and cut off when the door is closed, and the power supply means is connected to the anode terminal of the diode. The cathode terminal of the diode is connected to one end of the off-state operation means, the other end of the off-state operation means is grounded, and the control output means is the power supply means. And the anode terminal of the diode via the door opening detecting means, and the output means for specifying is the cathode terminal of the diode and one end of the off-time operating means. Gaming machine C5, characterized in that it is connected through the door opening detection means.

  According to the gaming machine C5, since the control output means is connected to the power supply means and the anode terminal of the diode, when the door body is opened when the power supply of the gaming machine is turned on, the door opening detection means Becomes conductive, power is supplied from the power supply means to the control output means, and an operating state is established. On the other hand, when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, the supply of power by the power supply means is stopped, so even if the door body is opened and the door opening detection means is conducted, the control output means The electric power is not supplied from the power supply means and the vehicle is stopped. On the other hand, because the specifying output means is connected to the off-state operating means and the cathode terminal of the diode, when the door body is opened when the power of the gaming machine is turned on, the door opening detection means The power supply means is supplied to the specifying output means from the power supply means, and the operation state is set. When the power source of the gaming machine is turned off, the power supply by the power supply means to the specifying output means is stopped, but when the door body is opened and the door opening detecting means is turned on, the specifying operation is performed by the off-operation means. Since electric power is supplied to the output means, the specifying output means is in an operating state. Here, when the power source of the gaming machine is turned off and power is supplied from the off-operation means to the specifying output means, the power supply to the control output means can be cut off by the diode. Thereby, the consumption of the off-operation means during the power-off of the gaming machine can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of times that the specifying output means can be operated and increase the number of times that the opening of the door body can be detected.

  In any one of the gaming machines C1 to C5, the door body includes an inner frame that is opened and closed with respect to the main body, and a transparent plate support door that is opened and closed with respect to the inner frame, and the door opening detection means includes: , An inner frame door opening detection means provided on the inner frame, and a transparent plate door opening detection means provided on the transparent plate support door, and the output means is provided by the inner frame door opening detection means. A first output means for outputting a detection result to the control means and executing a notification by the notification means when the opening of the inner frame is detected; and outputting the detection result to a specific device; and the transparent plate When the opening of the transparent plate support door is detected by the door opening detection means, the detection result is output to the control means, the notification by the notification means is executed, and the detection result is output to the specific device. With second output means Gaming machine C6, characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine C6, when the power of the gaming machine is turned on and the control means is controlled, when the opening of the inner frame is detected by the inner frame door opening detection means, the detection result is the first. The output is output to the control means by one output means and the notification is executed by the notification means, and the detection result is output to the specific device by the first output means. Similarly, when the opening of the transparent plate support door is detected by the transparent plate door opening detection means when the power of the gaming machine is turned on, the detection result is output to the control means by the second output means. The notification by the notification unit is executed, and the detection result is output to the specific device by the second output unit. On the other hand, when the power of the gaming machine is turned off, the control of the control means is stopped. Even in this case, when the opening of the inner frame is detected by the inner frame door opening detection means, the detection is detected. The result is output to the specific device by the first output means. Similarly, when the power supply of the gaming machine is turned off and the opening of the transparent plate support door is detected by the transparent plate door opening detection means, the detection result is output to the specific device by the second output means. . As described above, the first output means for outputting the detection result when the inner frame is opened and the second output means for outputting the detection result when the transparent plate support door is opened are provided separately. Therefore, when either one or both of the inner frame and the transparent plate support door is opened, it is possible to determine which has been opened by the notification by the notification means and the specific device.

  In any one of the gaming machines C3 to C6, the specifying output means outputs a detection result to the specific device based on an output from the output period limiting means, and the output period limiting means includes the door opening detecting means When the opening of the door is detected by the above, an output to the specifying output means is performed during the predetermined period.

  According to the gaming machine C7, when the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body, the detection result is output to the specific device by the specifying output means. Since the specifying output means operates by receiving power supply from the off-operation means while the gaming machine is turned off, the door opening detection means detects the opening of the door body even when the gaming machine is powered off. Then, the detection result can be output to the specific device. Therefore, for example, even if the door body is opened by an unauthorized act by someone after the store is closed with all the gaming machines turned off, the gaming machine with the door body opened can be identified by the specific device.

  Moreover, one output period by the specifying output means is kept within a predetermined period by the output period limiting means. Similarly to the specifying output means, the output period limiting means operates by receiving power supply from the off-operation means while the gaming machine is turned off, so that the operating period of the specifying output means by one opening of the door body Can be kept within a predetermined period, and consumption of the off-operation means during the power-off of the gaming machine can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to increase the number of times that the specifying output means can be operated and increase the number of times that the opening of the door body can be detected.

  Further, to the output means for specifying that outputs the detection result to the specific device based on the output from the output period limiting means, the output period is limited during a predetermined period when the door opening detection is detected by the door opening detection means. Output is performed by means. Therefore, the output operation to the specifying output means by the output period limiting means can be stopped within a predetermined period for each opening of the door body. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the consumption of the off-operation means during the power-off of the gaming machine, and increase the number of times that the specifying output means can be operated, thereby increasing the number of times that the door body can be detected.

  In the gaming machine C7, the output period limiting means stops the output to the specifying output means when the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door body.

  According to the gaming machine C8, the output of the output period limiting means to the specifying output means for outputting the detection result to the specific device is stopped when the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door body. Therefore, when the door opening detection means does not detect the opening of the door body, it is possible to suppress the power consumed by the output operation of the output period restriction means. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the consumption of the off-operation means during the power-off of the gaming machine, and increase the number of times that the specifying output means can be operated, thereby increasing the number of times that the door body can be detected.

It is adjusted to be shorter than the predetermined period. Here, the monostable multivibrator continues to output a signal unless the input period of the input signal is shorter than the output period of the output signal. For this reason, when a monostable multivibrator is used as the output period limiting means, it is input to the output period limiting means beyond the output period of the output signal, that is, the predetermined period limited by the output period limiting means. The signal input period, that is, the door opening period must be short. However, since it is completely unpredictable how long the door opening period will be, in order to keep the door opening period always shorter than the predetermined period limited by the output period limiting means, It is necessary to set the period with a sufficient margin. For example, if the door opening period is predicted to be several tens of seconds to several minutes, the predetermined period limited by the output period restriction means is set from several minutes to several tens of minutes with sufficient margin. Must. Then, during this predetermined period, power is continuously supplied from the off-state operation means to the output period limiting means and the specifying output means, so that the consumption of the off-state operation means becomes significant. Therefore, a special circuit configuration is required to suppress the consumption of the off-operation means while using a monostable multivibrator as the output period limiting means. However, according to the gaming machine C9, the signal input to the output period limiting means can be adjusted to be shorter than the predetermined period by the input period adjusting means regardless of the door opening period. Therefore, the output period limiting means can be operated normally regardless of the door opening period, so that one output period by the specifying output means can be kept within a predetermined period by the output period limiting means. Thus, according to the gaming machine C9, by providing the input period adjusting means, the consumption of the operating means during the off state is suppressed, and the output is performed using the monostable multivibrator without adopting a special circuit configuration. Period limiting means can be realized.

  In addition, when the input period adjustment means is configured using an integration circuit, electric charge is stored in the capacitor used in the integration circuit, and the voltage due to this charge is superimposed on the signal input to the output period restriction means. There is a possibility that an overvoltage that can destroy the output period limiting means is applied to the output period limiting means. However, according to the gaming machine C17, since the maximum voltage of the signal input to the output period limiting unit is made constant by the constant voltage unit, an overvoltage that can destroy the output period limiting unit is not applied to the output period limiting unit. .
