(FIG. 4), FIG. 5, FIG. 6, or FIG. 7, which will be described later, schematically show the function of the drive mechanism that moves the movable object 1001 up and down.

  This drive mechanism functions as a connecting means for transmitting the power (driving force) of the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 to the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016, and a fixing means for fixing the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 so as not to rotate. Have

  More specifically, the connecting mechanism and the driving mechanism having the function as the fixing mechanism are configured by using connection / fixing portions 1011 and 1012 (FIGS. 4 to 7) described later, and the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 For each drive, a so-called two-way clutch function capable of transmitting power by switching the driving force transmission direction to two directions and a fixing (brake) function for fixing each of the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 so as not to rotate are included. FIG. 5, FIG. 6, or FIG. 7 described later does not show detailed illustrations of the details of the two-way clutch mechanism, and particularly shows the brake function.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the motor 1002 and the movable object 1001 as the driving source of the movable object 1001 have a plurality of paths (connection / fixed portions 1011 and 1012, and the gear 1013 controlled by them) that transmit the driving force. , And a pulley 1016).

  Here, a schematic configuration of the drive mechanism of the movable object 1001 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 fixed at an appropriate position on the rear part of the game board 200 passes through the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a.

  The connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a control driving force transmission to the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016, respectively, together with fixing (brake) mechanisms schematically shown as claws 1013a and 1016a and recesses 1003a and 1004a, which will be described later. The connection / fixation units 1011 and 1012 are configured.

  There are two basic functions of the connecting / fixing portions 1011 and 1012. One of them is a fixing (braking) function for fixing the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 by the claws 1013a and 1016a and the recesses 1003a and 1004a, respectively. When this fixing operation is performed (for example, the state of the connecting / fixing portion 1011 in FIG. 7B), the transmission function of the following two-way clutch is simultaneously canceled and the idling mode is set, and the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is turned on. Can be idle.

  Further, another function of the connection / fixation units 1011 and 1012 is a so-called automatic rotation direction switching type two-way clutch function, and in the state where the above-described fixing operation is not performed, in FIGS. The driving force of the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is transmitted so as to rotationally drive the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 in both the A and B directions.

  The above-described fixing function and two-way clutch function of the connection / fixation units 1011 and 1012 are interlocked and controlled by driving means such as a solenoid built in the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a. That is, when the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 is fixed (brake or locked) by the above fixing function, the two-way clutch is switched to the idling mode, and the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is in the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016. Can be idle. When the fixing function for the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 is released, the two-way clutch is switched to the bidirectional transmission mode, and the drive shaft 1002a to the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 is changed to the state shown in FIG. ) To (c), the driving shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 rotates in any direction, and the driving force is transmitted in that direction.

  The connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a are fixed to the rear (R) side of the support plates 1003 and 1004 fixed at appropriate positions inside the game board 200, respectively. The connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a correspond to the main parts of a so-called electromagnetic two-way clutch / brake or MCU (mechanical clutch unit). The drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 passes therethrough.

  In practice, the connection / fixation control units 1011a, 1012a, the following claws 1013a, 1016a and recesses 1003a, 1004a, and the connection / fixation units 1011, 1012 made up of a two-way clutch unit (not shown) are electromagnetic two-way clutches, It is supplied as an integrated mechanical part called a brake or MCU (mechanical clutch unit), and can be mounted by using such a mechanical part.

  On the front (F) side of the support plates 1003 and 1004, recesses 1003a and 1004a that can be engaged with claws 1013a and 1016a provided on the rear (R side) surfaces of the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 are arranged. . These claws and recess function as a fixing (braking) means for fixing the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 so as not to rotate. These recesses 1003a and 1004a are provided not on the support plates 1003 and 1004 but on the front (F) surfaces of the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a exposed to the front (F) side of the support plates 1003 and 1004. It may be.

  Inside the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a, electromagnetic suction means such as a solenoid is provided, and the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 can be sucked backward (R) by the electromagnetic suction means.

  Here, FIG. 6 (or FIG. 5) shows a state in which the electromagnetic attraction means of the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a is not driven (OFF), and the claws 1013a and 1016a as the fixing means and the recesses 1003a and 1004a are related. They do not match (corresponding to the state of the pulley 1016 in FIGS. 7A and 7B and the state of the gear 1013 in FIGS. 7A and 7C).

  In this non-fixed state, the following two-way clutch function is switched in conjunction so that the driving force of the driving shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is transmitted to the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016. (Two-way clutch transmission mode).

  On the other hand, when the electromagnetic attraction means of the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a is driven (ON), the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 is attracted rearward (R), whereby the claw 1013a or 1016a and the recess 1003a, Alternatively, the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 can be fixed (locked) so that the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 does not rotate (corresponding to the state of the gear 1013 in FIG. 7B and the state of the pulley 1016 in FIG. 7C). ). This fixed state is used to drive only the other pulley 1016 or gear 1013 on the non-fixed side of the gear 1013 or pulley 1016.

  In this fixed state, the following two-way clutch function is switched so that the driving force of the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is not transmitted to the fixed gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 (the two-way clutch function). Idle mode).

  Further, on the front (F) side of the support plates 1003 and 1004, the drive shaft 1002 a of the motor 1002 drives the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016.

  Although details are not shown here, it is assumed that mechanical parts corresponding to a two-way clutch are provided between the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002, the gear 1013, and the pulley 1016. Although not shown in detail for the convenience of illustration, the two-way clutch portion is disposed between the drive shaft 1002a, the gear 1013, and the pulley 1016, and a connecting / fixing portion 1011 as a single component. 1012 may be integrally formed.

  This two-way clutch unit drives the motor 1002 in the direction of the arrow A in FIG. 7A or the arrow B in FIGS. 7B and 7C for each of the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016. A transmission mode for transmitting the driving force of the shaft 1002a (in many types of products, the driving direction is automatically switched, and the rotation of the driving shaft 1002a, which is the central shaft, can be transmitted in either direction). Alternatively, it is possible to select an idle (non-transmission) mode operation in which the driving force is not transmitted.

  This driving force non-transmission mode (idling mode) is particularly effective when either the gear 1013 or the pulley 1016 is fixed by the fixing (braking) function of the connecting / fixing portions 1011 and 1012, and the fixed gear 1013 or pulley This is used to freely rotate the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 without transmitting the driving force to 1016.

  In this type of two-way clutch, in the non-idling mode, an internal mechanism (for example, a driving force is automatically transmitted in either the forward rotation or the reverse rotation of the drive shaft). The internal mechanism prevents the drive force of the drive shaft from being transmitted to the drive target (gear 1013 or pulley 1016 in the present embodiment) in the idling mode. Is controlled.

  The two-way clutch or the brake function for constituting the drive mechanism of the movable object 1001 as described above is a mechanical component supplied as a single unit (for example, the above-described electromagnetic two-way clutch brake, MCU or the like). Can be realized by using a single-function mechanical component such as a two-way clutch and a brake on the shaft of the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002, respectively. .

  Next, the operation of the drive mechanism for the movable object 1001 configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG. Here, FIGS. 8A to 8C are explanatory views showing a state in which the movable object 1001 is moved up and down in front of the decorative symbol display device 208 via the drive mechanism of the movable object 1001 described above.

  In the initial state of the performance shown in FIG. 8, the movable object 1001 is first hidden behind the information game board 200 from the decorative symbol display device 208 as indicated by the broken line in FIG. As shown in FIG. 8 (b), it is lowered to the front of the decorative symbol display device 208, particularly to the position of the lower end of the decorative symbol display device 208. Thereafter, the movable object 1001 is raised as shown in FIG. 8C, and is further returned to the initial (stored) state shown in FIG.

  Such a vertical movement of the movable object 1001 is performed in synchronization with a variable display performed in each of the three display areas 208 a to 208 c of the decorative symbol display device 208 according to, for example, a lottery performed by the main control unit 300. How the vertical movement of the movable object 1001 is interlocked with the fluctuation display is arbitrary, but for example, while the fluctuation display is being performed in the display areas 208a to 208c, it is shown in FIGS. Such an effect that the movable object 1001 is repeatedly moved up and down can be considered.

  It should be noted that the spring 1015 used in this embodiment has a large shape or tends to be complicated in shape, and is not so attractive. If it is shown to the player, it may interfere with the game. However, as in this embodiment, the spring 1015 that is one of the paths of the driving force that moves the movable object 1001 up and down is hidden by the path of the driving force that moves the other movable object 1001 up and down, that is, the rack 1014. Therefore, the spring 1015 can be hidden so as not to be seen as much as possible, and the player can be concentrated in the game. As shown in FIG. 8B, even when the movable object 1001 is descending, the spring 1015 is at the rear part of the rack 1014 and can be hidden so that it can hardly be seen by the player facing the game board 200.

  FIGS. 7A to 7C show the state of control of the driving mechanism, particularly the connection / fixing portions 1011 and 1012 when the movable object 1001 performs the vertical movement operation of FIGS. 8A to 8C. ing.

  When the movable object 1001 is lowered as shown in FIG. 8A, the excitation of the connection / fixation control units 1011a and 1012a is turned off as shown in FIG. 7A, and the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016 are turned off. Unfixed state. In conjunction with this, the two-way clutches (not shown) of the connection / fixation units 1011 and 1012 are controlled to the (bidirectional) transmission mode.

  In this state, when the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow A, this rotational force is transmitted to the gear 1013 and the pulley 1016. As a result, the spring 1015 is unwound from the pulley 1016, and at the same time, the gear 1013 drives the rack 1014 to move downward, thereby moving the movable object 1001 as shown. Preferably, the length at which the wire portion 1015b above the spring 1015 is unwound from the pulley 1016 at the same rotation angle of the drive shaft 1002a is set to be substantially equal to the distance that the rack 1014 or the movable object 1001 descends. Needless to say, for example, the diameter of the pulley 1016 is appropriately selected.

  Subsequently, when the movable object 1001 is raised as shown in FIGS. 8B and 8C, the operations shown in FIGS. 7B and 7C are performed.

  First, as shown in FIG. 7B, the excitation of the connection / fixation control unit 1011a on the gear 1013 side is turned ON, and the gear 1013 is fixed (locked). In conjunction with this, the two-way clutch (not shown) of the connection / fixation unit 1011 is controlled to the non-transmission (idling) mode. Further, the excitation of the connection / fixation control unit 1012a on the pulley 1016 side is turned OFF, and the pulley 1016 is set in an unfixed state. In conjunction with this, the two-way clutch (not shown) of the connection / fixation unit 1012 is controlled to the (bidirectional) transmission mode.

  In this state, when the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow B, this rotational force is transmitted to the pulley 1016, and the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is fixed to the gear 1013 while the gear 1013 is fixed. Idle. As a result, the pulley 1016 is rotationally driven in the direction of arrow B, and then the wire portion 1015b above the spring 1015 is wound up. As a result, the coil portion 1015a of the spring 1015 extends as shown in the figure, and the urging force is accumulated in the coil portion 1015a.

  When the wire portion 1015b at the top of the spring 1015 is appropriately wound, first, the excitation of the connection / fixation control portion 1012a on the pulley 1016 side is turned on to fix (lock) the pulley 1016, as shown in FIG. 7C. In conjunction with this, the two-way clutch (not shown) of the connection / fixation unit 1012 is controlled to the non-transmission (idling) mode. Subsequently, the excitation of the connection / fixation control unit 1011a on the gear 1013 side is turned OFF, and the gear 1013 is set in an unfixed state. In conjunction with this, the two-way clutch (not shown) of the connection / fixation unit 1011 is controlled to the (bidirectional) transmission mode.

  In this state, upward biasing force is applied to the movable object 1001 by the extended coil portion 1015a. In this state, when the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002 is (continuously) rotated in the direction of arrow B, the movable object 1001 is accumulated in the driving force transmitted through the gear 1013 and the rack 1014 and the coil portion 1015a. Both urging forces are applied and moved upward as shown.

  As described above, when the movable object 1001 is moved upward from the lowered state, the first connection / fixation part 1011 is fixed (non-transmission: idling) and the second connection / fixation part 1012 is not moved prior to that. In the fixed (transmitting) state, the spring 1015 is wound up while the movable object 1001 is stopped in the lowered state, and the coil portion 1015a of the spring 1015 as the urging means is elastically deformed in advance to accumulate the urging force. If the gear 1013 and the rack 1014 are moved up with the first connecting / fixing portion 1011 in the non-fixed (transmitting) state and the second connecting / fixing portion 1012 in the fixed (non-transmitting: idle) state, At the same time, since the stress when the coil portion 1015a of the spring 1015 returns to the original shape is applied to the movable object 1001 as an upward biasing force, Even if the driving force of 1002 is small, or small driving power of the motor 1002 can also increase the movable object 1001 of heaviest, or it is possible to raise the movable object 1001 at a higher speed.

  In particular, in the above configuration, the transmission path of the driving force of the motor 1002 as a single driving source is switched between the first path and the second path. A gear 1013 and a rack 1014 are provided in the first path, and a spring 1015 as an elastic body and elastic deformation means for extending the spring 1015 and accumulating an urging force in the second path. A pulley 1016 is provided.

  In order to lower the movable object 1001, the driving force transmission path of the motor 1002 is switched to both the first path and the second path as shown in FIG. 7A, and the rack 1014 is lowered via the gear 1013. At the same time, the spring 1015 is unwound from the pulley 1016.

  Before the movable object 1001 is raised, the movable object 1001 is lowered to a position as shown in FIG. 7B in order to deform the spring 1015 that generates a driving force for raising the movable object 1001 in advance. While being stopped, the transmission path of the driving force of the motor 1002 is switched to the second path, and the wire 1015b above the spring 1015 is wound up by the pulley 1016. Subsequently, when the transmission path of the driving force of the motor 1002 is switched to the first path as shown in FIG. 7C, the driving force of the motor 1002 is transmitted to raise the rack 1014 via the gear 1013. At the same time, the stress when the coil portion 1015a of the spring 1015 returns to the original shape is applied to the movable object 1001 as an upward biasing force so as to assist.

  As described above, in the drive mechanism of the movable object 1001 of this embodiment, the driving force of the single drive source (motor 1002) is efficiently used for the deformation of the elastic body (spring 1015) and the vertical movement of the movable object 1001. be able to. That is, as shown in FIG. 7B, the deformation of the elastic body (spring 1015) is performed while the movable object 1001 is stopped at the lowered position as shown in FIG. ) Is used only for deformation of the elastic body (spring 1015), the driving source (motor 1002) does not require a large driving force or driving power. In addition, in this case, the movable object 1001 is lifted by using both the driving force of the driving source (motor 1002) and the stress when the coil portion 1015a of the spring 1015 returns to the original shape as shown in FIG. However, the driving source (motor 1002) does not require a large driving force or driving power.

  Although not shown in FIGS. 4 to 8, a mechanism for guiding the movable object 1001 may be provided so that the movable object 1001 moves up and down while maintaining a specific posture, for example, a horizontal state. . For example, the movable object 1001 is maintained in a horizontal state by a structure in which a support column similar to the rack 1014 is provided on the rear (R) upper surface of the movable object 1001 and is slidably supported by a guide similar to the guide 1014a. The posture can be controlled to move up and down. Further, another rack similar to the rack 1014 may be provided and coupled to another position on the upper surface of the movable object 1001. In this case, the connection / fixation part equivalent to the connection / fixation part 1011 and the gear for driving the rack are arranged on the drive shaft 1002a of the motor 1002, and these are synchronized with the connection / fixation part 1011 and the gear 1013. Control in the same way.

  Further, in the above description, the movable object 1001 is moved up and down in the vertical (vertical) direction. However, the movable object 1001 does not necessarily have to be moved in the vertical (vertical) direction. For example, as shown in FIG. It can also be driven to move up and down along. In FIG. 9, the movable object 1001 has a rear surface (a surface corresponding to the R side in FIGS. 4 to 6) in contact with the inclined surface 1031, and the upper surface of the movable object 1001 is the bottom of the rack 1014 and the spring 1015. Are combined. The upper structure of the rack 1014 and the spring 1015 is exactly the same as that shown in FIGS.

  According to the configuration shown in FIG. 9, the movable object 1001 is moved along the inclined surface 1031 by controlling the motor 1002 and the connection / fixing portions 1011 and 1012 in the same manner as shown in FIGS. And can be driven to move up and down. In FIG. 9, the slope 1031 has a relatively gentle slope, but the angle of the slope 1031 may be arbitrarily determined.

  The configuration of the embodiment described above can be considered as a configuration as shown below when summarized in a higher concept.

One of them is
A drive source (motor 1002) capable of rotating the drive shaft (1002a);
First transmission means (gear 1013) capable of transmitting the driving force of the drive shaft (1002a) to first transmitted means (rack 1014);
Second transmission means (pulley 1016) capable of transmitting the driving force of the drive shaft (1002a) to second transmitted means (spring 1015) made of an elastic member;
A structure (movable object 1001) in which the first transmitted means and the second transmitted means are connected;
In a state where the driving source (motor 1002) is driven and tension is applied to the second transmitted means (spring 1015), the driving source is driven to apply driving force to the first transmitted means (rack 1014). The structure (movable object 1001) is moved to the drive shaft side.

  In this way, the driving force of the driving source (motor 1002) is used to apply tension to the second transmitted means (spring 1015), and the driving force is applied to the first transmitted means (rack 1014). According to the configuration in which the movable object 1001) is moved, the structure is moved while assisting with the tension of the elastic member (spring 1015), and the drive source and the structure (movable object 1001) for applying the tension of the elastic member are arranged. Since the drive source (motor 1002) to be moved is the same, the required drive force of the drive source can be kept low. In other words, the structure can be moved even when using a low-power, low-power, space-saving, and low-cost drive source, making it possible to effectively use the space of the game stand, reduce power consumption, and reduce the cost of the drive source. Can be achieved.

Other configurations are:
First transmission blocking means (claw 1013a, recess 1003a) for blocking the driving force of the driving shaft (1002a) from being transmitted to the first transmitted means (rack 1014);
Second transmission blocking means (claw 1016a, recess 1004a) for blocking the driving force of the drive shaft (1002a) from being transmitted to the second transmitted means (spring 1015),
When applying tension to the second transmitted means (spring 1015), the first transmission blocking means (claw 1013a, recess 1003a) is controlled to prevent transmission of driving force to the first transmitted means (rack 1014). Then, when a driving force is applied to the first transmitted means (rack 1014), the second transmission blocking means (claw 1016a, recess 1004a) is controlled to prevent transmission of the driving force to the second transmitted means. It is a configuration.

  As described above, the configuration of this embodiment applies the driving force of the single driving source (motor 1002) to any one of the second transmitted means (spring 1015) and the first transmitted means (rack 1014). When allocating, it can also be considered as a configuration that controls to prevent the transmission of the driving force to the other transmitted means (corresponding to the operation expressed by the above-mentioned terms such as brake, lock, and fixation). According to the configuration, the driving force can be separately applied to the first transmitted means (rack 1014) and the second transmitted means (spring 1015) using only a single driving source (motor 1002).

  Moreover, the structure of the said Example can also find out the characteristic in the point which arrange | positions the structure (movable object 1001) moved up and down so that it may be located in the perpendicular | vertical downward direction of a drive shaft (1002a). For example, in such a basic configuration, when the structure (movable object 1001) is raised, the structure (movable object 1001) can be moved while being assisted by the tension of the elastic member (spring 1015). The structure can be moved by the driving source of the driving force. In addition, when moving the structure in a direction away from the drive shaft (vertically downward), gravity can be used, so that it is possible to produce a speedy and highly effective effect. In the case of moving in the direction), it is a movement to return the structure to the original position after finishing the production with a high production effect, and since the player does not pay attention, tension was applied to the second transmitted means (spring 1015). An effect can be expected that the structure can be reliably moved by a configuration in which a plurality of steps of moving the structure by applying a driving force to the first transmitted means later is performed.

  Taking the configuration of the embodiment described above in a more abstract manner, the effects that can be obtained in the present invention are summarized as follows. Correspondence with the members in each of the above embodiments is mainly shown in parentheses.

  First, according to the present invention, a profit granting means (main control unit 300) for giving a profit to a player when a predetermined condition is satisfied, and an effect structure (movable object) that is moved to produce a game 1001), a drive means (motor 1002, gear 1013) for moving the production structure in a predetermined direction, and the production structure (movable object 1001) and the drive means (motor 1002). A game machine including connection means (connection / fixing portions 1011 and 1012) for connecting to transmit the driving force of the drive means, and an elastic body (spring 1015) provided together with the connection means, It has elastic deformation means (pulley 1016) that elastically deforms so as to accumulate stress for moving the production structure in the predetermined direction, and the driving means (motor 1002) is Before moving the delivery structure (movable object 1001) in a predetermined direction, the elastic deformation means elastically deforms the elastic body (spring 1015) in advance, and the drive means (motor 1002) is used for the effect. When moving the structure in a predetermined direction, a configuration is adopted in which the effect structure is moved in a predetermined direction by the stress of the elastic body (spring 1015) and the driving force of the driving means (motor 1002). Therefore, it is possible to reduce the cost of parts of the driving source such as the motor and solenoid used as the driving means, and the driving source can be reduced in size and weight, and the power supplied to the driving source may be reduced. Expected effects such as moving objects may be moved and heavier production structures may be moved Kill.

  Alternatively, the connecting means (connecting / fixing portions 1011 and 1012) is configured such that the drive source (motor 1002) that generates a driving force for moving the effect structure and the effect structure are connected to the drive source ( The elastic body (which is connected by a plurality of paths for transmitting the driving force of the motor 1002) and is elastically deformed by the elastic deformation means (pulley 1016) and the elastic deformation means in one of the plurality of paths. By adopting a configuration in which the spring 1015) is provided, there are cases where the structure for presentation can be moved without using complicated control because an elastic body having a simple structure is used and a plurality of paths are used.

  Alternatively, the first path not provided with the elastic body (spring 1015), and the plurality of paths may include a second path provided with the elastic deformation means (pulley 1016) and the elastic body (spring 1015).
