Description

The present invention relates to a self-propelled vehicle traveling device in which a self-propelled vehicle is self-propelled, and a cleaning device that cleans the lower part of the upper power supply plate and the lower traveling plate in a racing game apparatus.

  A self-propelled body and a model are respectively arranged on a traveling board and a power supply plate provided in the racing game apparatus, and the self-propelled body and the model are attracted to each other by a magnetic force while the self-propelled body is self-propelled on the traveling board. Thus, there is known a game device that causes a model to run following a self-propelled body. In this type of game apparatus, a traveling board is provided with a guide wire serving as index information for controlling the traveling direction or progress of the self-propelled body, or with an infrared light emitting element. Has been. (For example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2)

  However, an installer who installs the above game device needs to perform regular cleaning or the like because an error occurs during traveling of the self-propelled body due to dirt on the traveling board or adhesion of foreign objects. In the configuration in which the power feeding plate is disposed on the top, the traveling plate is hidden, so that it is difficult to clean the traveling plate. In addition, when a power supply plate for supplying power to the self-propelled body is provided, the self-propelled body slidably contacts the current collector and receives electric power, so that the collected current has a shaving (eg, carbon firewood). It will adhere to the power supply plate. As for the maintenance management of the power supply plate, since the power supply plate is provided on the lower surface side of the upper stage, the power supply plate is hidden and the cleaning work is difficult to perform as well as the travel plate is difficult to clean. Has occurred.

On the other hand, the game machine described in Patent Document 3 is a racing game device including a traveling board on which a self-propelled body travels and a power supply plate on which a model that follows the self-propelled body travels on an upper surface. A lower structure provided with a lower structure, an upper structure that is combined with the lower structure so as to be movable up and down, and provided with the power supply plate, and a lift drive device that lifts and lowers the upper structure. Therefore, the space between the power supply plate and the traveling plate is expanded by raising the upper structure with the lifting drive device, thereby improving the accessibility to the power supply plate and the traveling plate, and efficient cleaning work etc. It is possible to do well.

  In addition, the racing game device described in Patent Document 4 is a self-propelled vehicle that pulls the traveling body on the traveling plate with a magnetic force and travels between the power feeding plate and the traveling plate, and is attached to the dust under the electrode plate. A first frame member having a side surface having a predetermined height and a first opening on the upper surface, a side surface having a predetermined height, and an area of the first frame. And a second frame member installed in a vertically downward direction with respect to the first frame member so as to fall by sliding of the brush. The electrode plate can be cleaned by directly receiving the dust to be received by the frame member.

Hereinafter, the best mode for carrying out the present invention will be described.

In the present invention, a plurality of model bodies given in an arbitrary shape travel on a running surface (for example, a soccer game device in which a plurality of model bodies given a shape of a soccer player travel on a field following a ball) In the following embodiments, the present invention is applied to a game device in which a game progresses by a plurality of model bodies having arbitrary shapes traveling on a traveling surface in an arbitrary manner. Is applied to a horse racing game apparatus in which a model body in the shape of a horse and jockey competes in order of arrival.

FIG. 1 is a perspective view showing an external configuration of a horse racing game apparatus according to the present invention.

As shown in the figure, this horse racing game apparatus 1 is disposed around a substantially cylindrical device main body 2 at the center of a housing in which a main control board 21 and the like are accommodated, and around the device main body, via a communication cable or the like. The main control board is mainly composed of a plurality of satellites (game terminals) 70 electrically connected to the main control board.

In FIG. 1, only the satellites 70 are shown on the front three units for the sake of brevity. However, in the horse racing game apparatus 1 of this embodiment, twelve satellites 70 are arranged around the apparatus main body 2. It is assumed that Note that the number of satellites 70 is not limited to 12, and 13 or more and 70 or less satellites 70 can be provided.

Further, four support members 10 are erected on the side of the apparatus main body 2, and a ring-shaped ceiling member 11 is attached to the upper end thereof. The column member 10 and the ceiling member 11 emit a ceiling camera 25 that captures a bird's-eye view of the track 5 from above, a speaker 26 that outputs sound for various effects such as live broadcasting, fanfare, and BGM, and light emission for various effects. An illumination device 27 and the like are provided.

In the present embodiment, the track 5 formed on the upper surface plate 4 (FIG. 2) can be looked down from a player seated on the satellite 70 and is disposed at a lower position than the table portion 74. Thus, the player seated at each satellite 70 can watch the race with the same feeling as looking down the track 5 from the gondola seat of the actual racetrack.

2A and 2B are a perspective view and a plane explanatory view showing the configuration of the apparatus main body 2.

As shown in the figure, the apparatus main body is a second floor composed of a cylindrical outer housing 3 and an upper surface plate 4 and a lower surface plate 7 which are accommodated inside the outer housing 3 and spaced apart from each other. It has a built-in structure.

The upper surface plate 4 is a plate-like member having a substantially circular shape, and the first running surface 4 s that is the upper surface of the upper surface plate 4 can be visually recognized by a player located in the satellite 70. The first traveling surface 4s is formed with a track 5, which is a track on which a plurality of model bodies 30 travel in the race in order of arrival, and a plurality of field cameras that photograph the model body 30 traveling on the track 5. 22 and 22, the goal camera 23, a monitor device 24 for displaying information such as images taken by the cameras 22 and 23, race guidance, and the like are arranged. Further, in this embodiment, in order to realistically reproduce the appearance of the racetrack, the artificial turf material processed with green powder or fiber is laid around the track 5 and its periphery.

The track 5 is formed on the figure 8 as shown in FIG. Therefore, in the horse racing game apparatus 1 according to the present embodiment, by changing a plurality of types of running courses indicated by the symbols SR, MR, and LR from the starting points S1 and S2 to the goal G in accordance with the type of race, It is possible to race on multiple types of running courses such as distance, medium distance, and long distance.

Although not shown in FIG. 2, in this embodiment, in order to enable the number of model bodies 30 traveling on the track 5 to be changed in each race, the apparatus main body 2 is arranged on the outer periphery of the top plate 4. It is possible to provide an accommodating portion for accommodating the model body 30 at an appropriate location such as a portion.

  Furthermore, the apparatus body 2 is arranged at the start points S1 and S2 at the start of each race in order to reproduce a start scene similar to that of an actual horse race. It is possible to further include a start gate that is retracted and accommodated in the car.

  FIG. 3A is an explanatory view showing the lower surface plate 7 arranged at a position spaced apart from the upper surface plate 4 by a predetermined distance in a plan view, and FIG. 3B is an optical view on the surface of the lower surface plate 7. Code C (example: QR code (registered trademark) preferably standardized by JIS, such as a two-dimensional code that is a code in which data represented by a binary code is converted into cells and arranged as a pattern on a two-dimensional matrix) JIS standard: JIS-X-0510)).

  As shown in FIG. 3A, the lower surface plate 7 is a plate-like member having a circular shape like the upper surface plate 4, and the region corresponding to the track 5 of the second traveling surface 7s which is the upper surface thereof is as follows. In the race, a plurality of self-propelled bodies 40 travel along the running path 8.

  The entire second traveling surface 7s or at least the surface of the traveling path 8 is an information arrangement surface on which a number of two-dimensional codes C in which position coordinates on the global coordinates that are orthogonal coordinates fixed to the second traveling surface 7s are recorded are arranged. It is said that. In this embodiment, a QR code is used as the two-dimensional code. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be implemented by an arbitrary method such as an optically read barcode or the like. Further, the present invention can be implemented by any method such as a traveling control method for a self-propelled body as disclosed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-164661. For example, the present invention can be implemented even if it has a configuration that uses an electromagnetic induction method as disclosed in JP-A-4-215110, instead of being read optically.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 3B, the two-dimensional code C is arranged on a matrix with a certain interval in the global coordinate Xg axis direction and the Yg axis direction, and each two-dimensional code C is a QR code C. The Xqr axis direction and the Yqr axis direction on the QR coordinate, which is the upper orthogonal coordinate, are arranged at an angle that coincides with the Xg axis and Yg axis directions on the global coordinate.

  The two-dimensional code is not limited to the case where the two-dimensional code is arranged in a matrix along the XY axes of orthogonal coordinates (global coordinates). As long as two or more two-dimensional codes are included, it is possible to arrange in an arbitrary regular array or an unregular array.

  The two-dimensional code C is determined at any position on the track 8 in consideration of the shooting angle of the camera device 46 (FIG. 4) mounted on the self-propelled body 40 and the distance from the camera device 46 to the second travel surface 7s. Even when the running body 40 is located, the camera apparatus 46 is always arranged within the angle of view (shooting field of view) V at a size and interval that includes the entire one or more two-dimensional codes C. Is based on the position and angle of the two-dimensional code C on the camera coordinates (Xc, Yc) which is a coordinate system fixed to the image photographed by the camera device 46, and the self-propelled body 40 on the global coordinates. Position coordinates and angle (traveling direction) F of the reference point (for example, the center position of the axles of the center wheels 44a and 44b) R are derived.

In addition, in order to enable acquisition of position information from another two-dimensional code when acquisition of position information from one two-dimensional code C in a photographed image fails, the two-dimensional code C is used by the camera device 46 ( It is desirable that the two or more two-dimensional codes C are always arranged within a field of view V in FIG.

  In addition, as a specific detection method when a plurality of two-dimensional codes C are arranged, a method described in JIS standard (JIS-X-0510) P.22 5.3.2.7, etc. It can be implemented by any method disclosed in Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 2007-094584.

  The two-dimensional code C can be arranged, for example, by printing the two-dimensional code C on one surface of a transparent thin plate 9 such as polycarbonate and laying the transparent thin plate 9 with the printed surface down on the lower surface plate 7. Preferably, this can prevent damage to the two-dimensional code C due to the traveling of the self-propelled body 40.

  In the present embodiment, the information arrangement surface on which the two-dimensional code C is arranged is covered with the outer casing 3 and the upper surface plate 4 and is configured so as not to be seen by the player seated on the satellite. Even if the code C is formed using visible ink, it does not affect the design and appearance of the apparatus. Therefore, by forming the visible two-dimensional code C with visible ink or the like, the cost for printing or the like is reduced, maintenance such as inspection or repair of the two-dimensional code C is facilitated, and / or an infrared camera. It is possible to use a camera device 46 (FIG. 4) that is less expensive than the case of using the device.

  Further, by configuring the outer casing 3 and the upper surface plate 4 with light-shielding members, lighting in an amusement facility where the horse racing game apparatus 1 is installed affects the shooting by the camera device 46 (FIG. 4). It is also possible to prevent the position information from being read, and the reading stability of the position information recorded in the two-dimensional code C can be improved.

  FIG. 4 is an explanatory view showing the model body 30 and the self-running body 40 arranged in the first traveling surface 4s (upper part of the upper surface plate 4) and the second traveling surface 7s (upper part of the lower surface plate 7) in a side view. .

As shown in the drawing, the model body 30 includes a carriage 31 and a model portion 37 attached to the carriage 31 via a support column 36.

  The carriage 31 can travel on the first traveling surface 4 s by front and rear wheels 32, 33 and central wheels 34 a, 34 b that are pivotally supported on both sides of the carriage 31. Two rotating magnets 35a and 35b are attached with a slight gap from one traveling surface 4s.

  The rotating magnets 35a and 35b are magnetically coupled to the rotating magnets 55a and 55b of the self-propelled body 40, and follow the self-propelled body 40 traveling on the second traveling surface 7s (the self-propelled body 40 and a predetermined position). It enables the model body 30 to travel on the first traveling surface 4s (with the relationship maintained).

  The rotating magnets 35a and 35b are rotatable around a vertical axis, and rotate in synchronization with the rotation of the rotating magnets 55a and 55b by the model control motors 56a and 56b. The rotation of the rotating magnets 35a and 35b is transmitted to the model portion 37 via the support column 36 and a gear mechanism (not shown).

  The model portion 37 is a model imitating a horse (racing horse) and a jockey. The legs of the horse and the limbs of the jockey are swingable around their joint axes, and the rotation of the rotating magnet 35a is supported by the support column 36. When transmitted through the horse, the front and rear legs of the horse swing.

  The self-propelled body 40 includes a carriage 41 and a support base 50.

  The carriage 41 is equipped with front and rear wheels 42 and 43, left and right central wheels 44a and 44b, and travel motors 45a and 45b that drive the central wheels 44a and 44b, respectively, and are controlled by a drive control board 66. The traveling motors 45a and 45b independently drive the left and right central wheels, so that the self-propelled body 40 travels on the second traveling surface 7s (self-propelled) so that the traveling direction can be changed.

The carriage 41 is further attached to a camera device 46 such as a CCD camera attached in such a manner that the second traveling surface 7 s is vertically photographed at the upper part of the cavity S having the lower surface opening O, and to both ends of the camera device 46. Mechanical parts such as a white LED 47 that illuminates the angle of view V of the camera device 46, an antenna 48 for communicating with the device main body 2 by wireless LAN, and a pulling attachment 49 for pulling the cleaning device 80 It has.

The support base 50 is attached to the upper side of the carriage 41 in a state where the upward biasing force by the spring 51 is received.

  Front and rear wheels 52 and 53 and left and right central wheels 54 a and 54 b are attached to the upper surface of the support base 50, and these wheels 52 to 54 abut against the lower surface of the upper surface plate 4 by the biasing force of the spring 51. Therefore, the self-propelled body 40 is sandwiched between the lower wheels 42 to 44 and the upper wheels 52 to 54 and travels stably in the traveling space between the upper surface plate 4 and the lower surface plate 7 while maintaining an upright posture. be able to.

  The support base 50 further includes rotating magnets 55a and 55b, model control motors 56a and 56b, and a current collector 57.

  The rotating magnets 55a and 55b are respectively arranged at a slight distance from the upper surface plate 4 with an arrangement corresponding to the rotating magnets 35a and 35b of the model body 30, and driven by the model control motors 56a and 56b with the vertical axis as the center. It is designed to rotate. The rotating magnets 55a and 55b are magnetically coupled to the rotating magnets 35a and 35b, pull the model body 30 on the upper surface plate 4 by the traveling of the self-propelled body 40, and rotate the rotating magnets 55a and 55b. The horse's legs and jockey's limbs in the model portion 37 are rocked.

  During the traveling of the self-propelled body, the current collector 57 is in sliding contact with the power supply plate 6 attached to the lower surface of the upper surface plate 4 with an appropriate pressing force by the spring 51 and supplies electric power necessary for traveling control of the self-running body 40. .

  The power supply plate 6 can be configured by, for example, alternately arranging a positive electrode and a negative electrode in a striped pattern with a predetermined distance therebetween, and the current collector 57 has eight arranged at the apex position of a regular octagon. It is possible to provide a stable power supply to the self-propelled body 40 by using pin contacts or the like so that two or more pin contacts always keep contact with both positive and negative electrodes.

Next, FIG.5 and FIG.6 is explanatory drawing which shows the structure of the apparatus 80 for cleaning arrange | positioned on the 2nd running surface 7s. 5 is an explanatory view showing a configuration of the cleaning device 80 arranged on the second traveling surface 7s in a side view, and FIG. 6 shows a configuration of the cleaning device 80 arranged on the second traveling surface 7s. It is explanatory drawing which shows this by the top view.

As illustrated, the cleaning device 80 includes a carriage 81 having a lower base plate 811, a support base 83 having an upper base plate 831, and an urging means 82 for urging the support base 83 toward the upper surface plate 4. For example, a spring, a spring, etc.) and a connecting means 84 for causing the self-propelled body 40 to pull the cleaning device 80 are configured.

In addition, it is preferable that the width direction of the cleaning device 80 is configured wider than the width direction of the self-propelled body 40.

The carriage 81 is provided with front and rear wheels 812 to 815 that are in contact with the upper surface (for example, the second traveling surface 7 s) of the lower surface plate 7 and slide by being pulled on the lower surface of the lower base plate 811. Of the front and rear wheels 812 to 815, the front wheels 812 and 813 are supported substantially horizontally on both sides of wheel covers 816 and 817 (for example, brackets) that are supported substantially vertically with respect to the lower base plate 811. Has been. The rear wheels 814 and 815 are pivotally supported substantially horizontally on both sides of wheel covers 818 and 819 (for example, brackets) fixed to the lower base plate 811, respectively. The number of front and rear wheels is not limited to four, and at least three front and rear wheels may be used.

Both side portions of the wheel covers 818 and 819 that pivotally support the rear wheels 814 and 815 extend in the direction of the lower surface plate 7 from both side portions of the wheel covers 816 and 817 that pivotally support the front wheels 812 and 813, and the front wheels It is preferable that the width w2 of the wheel covers 818 and 819 of the rear wheels 814 and 815 is wider than the width w1 of the wheel covers 818 and 819 of 812 and 813. By doing in this way, when the cleaning means 90 of the cleaning device 80 described later is pulled by the self-propelled body 40, the traveling stability can be maintained and the sliding direction of the second traveling surface 7s can be maintained with respect to the traveling direction A. By deforming backward, the cleaning means 90 in which the rear wheels 814 and 815 are deformed is wound up (that is, the cleaning means 90 is deformed because the rear wheels 814 and 815 are covered with the wheel covers 818 and 819). Even so, since the deformed cleaning means 90 does not touch the rear wheels 814 and 815, it is possible to prevent the rear wheels 814 and 815 from entraining the cleaning means 90).

The carriage 81 is provided between the left front wheel 812 and the left rear wheel 814 and between the right front wheel 813 and the right rear wheel 815 with respect to the traveling direction A of the cleaning device 80 provided on the lower base plate 811. A rectangular parallelepiped cleaning means 90 that is substantially orthogonal to the traveling direction A is provided. In addition, if it has the structure of the elastic body described below, such as a shape similar to a substantially quadrilateral shape formed when connecting the attached front and rear wheels 812-813-814-815-812 with straight lines, The cleaning means 90 may be provided in an arbitrary shape.

The carriage 81 is pivotally supported substantially vertically on the lower base plate 811, and rollers 8101 to 8104 protruding laterally from the lower base plate 811 are rotatably provided. The rollers 8101 to 8104 move the second running surface 7s when the cleaning device 80 pulled by the self-running body 40 turns rightward or leftward (for example, turns rightward as shown in FIG. 6). It slides on the wall part 1000 located at both ends. As a result, when the cleaning device 80 is pulled by the self-propelled body 40, it travels using the wall 1000 as a guide, so that the running stability of the cleaning device 80 can be maintained, and it is pulled by the self-propelled body 40. It is possible to clean the places that can be run. Further, this does not apply a load to the self-propelled body 40, and the self-propelled body 40 can pull the cleaning device 80 with the minimum necessary traction force.

The cleaning unit 90 includes a rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped member 901, an elastic body 902 having irregularities therein (for example, a profiled sponge) and a cloth member 903 that covers the rectangular parallelepiped box-shaped member. The box-shaped member 901 is held on the lower base plate 811 by a detachable member such as a hook-and-loop fastener. The elastic body 902 may be configured to be detachable from the box-shaped member 901. Further, the box-shaped member 901 that surrounds the elastic body 902 does not necessarily have four surfaces, and at least two surfaces of a position orthogonal to the traveling direction A and a position on the inner ring side in the turning direction (left direction or right direction). Or you may be comprised from the plate-shaped member of three surfaces.

The height of the lower side of the box-shaped member 901 is configured to be lower than a straight line L1 connecting the center 904 of the shaft that supports the front wheels 812 and 813 and the center 905 of the shaft that supports the rear wheels 814 and 815. , The height of the concavo-convex portion of the elastic body 902 that is higher than the straight line L2 that connects the contact points t1 and t2 of the front and rear wheels 812 to 815 that contact the second traveling surface 7s, and that is provided inside the box-shaped member 901. It is preferable that each vertex TP1 is configured to be lower than a straight line L2 connecting the contact points t1 and t2 of the front and rear wheels 812 to 815 that contact the second traveling surface 7s. By doing in this way, while the unevenness | corrugation of the elastic body 902 is pressed and it deform | transforms so that the ground-contact surface with the 2nd running surface 7s may spread, the 2nd running surface 7s can be cleaned with the cloth member 903. Furthermore, compared with the case where the second traveling surface 7s is cleaned with an elastic body having no unevenness, an excessive load (resistance force) is not applied to the cleaning device 80. It becomes possible to tow with traction force.

The support base 83 is provided with front and rear wheels 832 to 835 that are in contact with the lower surface (eg, electrode plate 6) of the upper surface plate 4 on the upper surface of the upper base plate 831. Among the front and rear wheels 832 to 835, the front wheels 832 and 833 are provided. Are pivotally supported on both sides of wheel covers 836 and 837 (for example, brackets) pivotally supported with respect to the upper base plate 831, and the rear wheels 834 and 835 are respectively supported by the upper base plate 831. Are supported on both sides of a wheel cover 838, 839 (for example, a bracket).

In this way, when the cleaning means 91 of the cleaning device 80 described later is pulled by the self-propelled body 40, the running stability can be maintained and the rearward deformation with respect to the traveling direction A can be achieved when the upper surface plate 4 is slidably contacted. As a result, the cleaning means 91 in which the rear wheels 834 and 835 are deformed is wound (that is, the rear wheels 834 and 835 are covered with the wheel covers 838 and 839, so that the cleaning means 91 is deformed). Since the deformed cleaning means 91 does not touch the rear wheels 834 and 835, it is possible to prevent the rear wheels 834 and 835 from entraining the cleaning means 91).

The support base 83 is disposed between the left front wheel 832 and the left rear wheel 834 and between the right front wheel 833 and the right rear wheel 835 with respect to the traveling direction of the cleaning device 80 provided on the upper base plate 831. A rectangular parallelepiped cleaning means 91 that is substantially orthogonal to the traveling direction A is detachably provided. In addition, if it has the configuration of the elastic body described below, such as a shape similar to a substantially quadrilateral shape formed when the attached front and rear wheels 832-833-834-835-832 are connected by a straight line, The cleaning means 91 may be provided in an arbitrary shape.

The box-shaped member 911 is held by the lower base plate 831 with a detachable member such as a hook-and-loop fastener. The elastic body 912 may be configured to be detachable from the box-shaped member 911. Further, the box-shaped member 911 that surrounds the elastic body 912 is not necessarily required to have four surfaces, as is the case with the carriage 81 side, and an inner ring in a direction (left or right) that turns with a position orthogonal to the traveling direction A. You may be comprised from the plate-shaped member of the at least 2 surface or 3 surface with the position of the side.

Further, the height position of the upper side of the box-shaped member 911 is higher than a straight line L3 connecting the center 934 of the shaft that pivotally supports the front wheels 832 and 833 and the center 935 of the shaft that pivotally supports the rear wheels 834 and 835. And an elastic body that is configured to be lower than a straight line L4 that connects the contact points t3 and t4 of the front and rear wheels 832 to 835 that are in contact with the upper surface plate 4 and provided inside the box-shaped member 911. It is preferable that the vertex TP2 of the uneven portion 912 is configured to be higher than a straight line L4 connecting the contact points t3 and t4 of the front and rear wheels 832 to 835 that contact the upper surface plate 4. In this way, the elastic member 912 is urged by the urging means 82 and the unevenness of the elastic body 912 is pressed between the upper surface plate 4 and deforms so that the grounding surface spreads. Can be cleaned. Furthermore, compared with the case where the upper surface plate 4 is cleaned with an elastic body having no unevenness, an excessive load (resistance force) is not applied to the cleaning device 80, so that the self-propelled body 40 moves the cleaning device 80 with a minimum necessary traction force. It becomes possible to tow.

The urging means 82 is attached from a substantially central position of the lower base plate 811 of the carriage 81 to a substantially central position of the upper base plate 831 of the support base 83.

Further, the urging means 82 pushes up with an appropriate force so that the repulsive force of the elastic body 902 inside the abutting cleaning means 90 is not generated against the upper base plate 831. Further, since the reaction force is applied to the carriage 81 by urging with the urging means 82, the front wheels 812, 813 and the rear wheels 814, 815 provided on the lower surface of the lower base plate 811 of the carriage 81 are appropriately lowered. It is possible to abut against the face plate 7 and press the elastic body 912 inside the abutting cleaning means 91 with an appropriate force.

Each of the cleaning means 90 and 91 is arranged so that the urging force from the urging means 82 is equally applied to the cleaning means 90 and the upper and lower base plates 811 and 831 to which the respective cleaning means 90 and 91 are attached. 91 is preferably provided.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the attachment position of the urging means 82 has been described as the approximate center of the lower base plate 811 and the approximate center of the upper base plate 831, but is not limited thereto. As long as it is a configuration between the upper base plate 831 and the lower base plate 811 and the pressure contact force is appropriately applied to each of the cleaning units 90 and 91, an arbitrary configuration (for example, an urging unit is provided between the upper and lower wheels) The pantograph-shaped biasing means that can be folded in a rhombus shape between the upper base plate 831 and the lower base plate 811 can be implemented.

  The photographing control board 62 controls the photographing operation by the camera device 46. In this embodiment, the camera device 46 arranges information at a frequency of about 2 to 200 times per second under the control of the photographing control board 62. The two-dimensional code C on the second traveling surface 7s, which is a surface, is photographed at high speed.

The LED control board 63 controls the lighting of the white LED 47 and executes a process of irradiating the information arrangement surface with illumination light necessary for photographing by the camera device 46.

  The image processing board 64 scans each image taken by the camera device 46 to execute a process of extracting markers arranged at the three vertices of each two-dimensional code C included in each image. A process of decoding the two-dimensional code C in the captured image extracted by the runner control board 61 is executed.

  FIG. 8 is a flowchart showing the flow of the cleaning process executed in the embodiment of the present invention.

  As shown in the drawing, the cleaning process in this embodiment is based on image data stored in the memory (storage means) 65 of the self-propelled body 40 or wirelessly based on the shooting of the information arrangement surface by the camera device 46 during the game. When the image data is transmitted to the main control board 21 by the LAN device 68, it starts by reading out the image data stored in the storage means (not shown) of the main control board 21 (step S1). The information to be read may be information on reading failure (hereinafter referred to as reading error) of the two-dimensional code C. For example, the current collector 57 receives a voltage different from a normal voltage (a voltage equal to or lower than a predetermined value). In the case of interruption processing due to a drop in power supply voltage level, it is determined whether or not a voltage lower than a predetermined value has been received for a predetermined time (that is, whether noise or an instantaneous voltage drop has occurred) When an instantaneous voltage drop occurs, read image data at that time (immediately before or immediately after) may be used.

  In step S2, it is determined whether the read information includes image data that has been read incorrectly. Note that a method for determining whether or not the information read at that time is a reading error may be determined as being below a predetermined threshold and not being read, or may be determined using a given function.

  If it is determined in step S2 that there is no reading error information, a cleaning process is executed (step S4). The cleaning process refers to the self-propelled body 40 that pulls the cleaning device 80 on the main control board 21 in a predetermined pattern (example: as shown in FIG. 2B above, the horse racing of this embodiment). In the game apparatus 1, based on a plurality of types of traveling courses in which the traveling pattern of the self-running body 40 is indicated by the symbols MR and LR, the course indicated by the symbol LR is circulated a predetermined number of times from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side. The travel data is stored in advance so that the vehicle travels a predetermined number of times from the outer periphery side to the inner periphery side, and the travel data is received by the self-propelled body control board 61 of the self-propelled body 40, As in the normal game, drive control of the travel motors 45a and 45b by the drive control means 66 is executed so that the self-propelled body 40 travels on a travel course according to the received travel data.

  If it is determined in step S2 that there is information on a reading error, the information on the travel data stored in advance is changed based on the information on the reading error (step S3). Note that the change of the travel data information can be performed by any method such as changing the travel data so as to pass the vicinity of the two-dimensional code C where it is determined that a reading error has occurred.

  In the subsequent step S5, it is determined whether or not the self-running control of the self-running body 40 based on the running data determined in advance (or information has been changed due to a reading error) has been completed. When it is determined that the cleaning process is finished, the cleaning process is finished, and the self-propelled body 40 self-runs to a predetermined position to finish its operation. When it is judged that the cleaning process is not finished, step S4 is performed. Return to.

  In addition, in the above-described cleaning process (example: as shown in FIG. 2 (b) above, in the horse racing game apparatus 1 of the present embodiment, the traveling pattern of the self-propelled body 40 is divided into a plurality of types of traveling courses indicated by symbols MR and LR. Based on this, the course of reference LR is changed to the course of reference MR after a predetermined number of laps from the outer peripheral side toward the inner peripheral side, and the predetermined number of laps are made from the outer peripheral side to the main side. The self-propelled body control board 61 of the self-propelled body 40 receives the travel data so that the travel body 40 can be traveled on the travel course according to the received travel data as in the normal game.
