Description

  The present invention relates to an electrical decoration device that is attached to a main body as a part of a decorative article and performs an effect using light in addition to a decorative effect based on a design, and a gaming machine including the electrical decoration device.

  There is a tendency to simplify and share parts for ornaments, which are attached to game machines, mainly from the viewpoint of management and yield. The same applies to an illumination device that is one of the decorative items. In addition, an electrical decoration apparatus may be used as a part of production.

  A gaming machine provided with a rotating lamp has been proposed as an illumination device. For example, in the case of a swivel-type game machine (so-called pachislot machine), when a hit flag is set, a reflective concave mirror (reflector) that rotates around a fixed light source of a rotating lamp repeatedly blocks light and emits light, thereby providing a visual decoration effect. (See Patent Document 1).

  When a rotating light is mounted on a ball-type game machine (so-called pachinko machine), it is used as one of the effects that increase the expectation as the approach / decision notification determination time approaches in the reach effect.

  The rotating lamp shown in this Patent Document 1 has a large difference between the output light amount when the reflector shields the light source emission direction and the output light amount when the reflector is disposed on the back side in the light emission direction of the light source, There is a problem that visual change is large but lacks diversity.

  On the other hand, Patent Document 2 discloses a rotating lamp having a structure provided with a plurality of light sources and a plurality of (double structure) reflectors.

  In the rotating lamp of Patent Document 2, a rotating reflector and a fixed reflector are arranged with reference to substantially the same center, and one light source is arranged at the center position, and the fixed reflector has a through-hole. Is provided, and the other light source is disposed outside the through hole. In the rotating reflector, the back side (convex side facing the fixed reflector) also functions as a mirror surface.

  According to the rotating lamp of Patent Document 2 having such a structure, it is possible to produce a variety of light effects by adjusting the light sources at two different positions, the relative positions of the two reflectors, and the like according to the light emission effect.

JP 2008-18040 A JP 2007-185302 A

  However, the rotating lamp having the structure of Patent Document 2 has a structure in which a light source is further provided outside the fixed reflector, and the dimension in the depth direction is a rotating lamp having a structure of Patent Document 1 (single light source, single light source). Compared with the reflector), the mounting position is limited.

  For example, when an illumination device is mounted on a pachinko machine or the like, the LCD display is mainly arranged in a region having a restriction in the depth direction on the front side of the LCD display unit in the center of the game board, and the illumination device itself is movable. In many cases, it is moved between the production position on the front side of the display unit and the retreat position that does not hide the display surface of the LCD display unit, and the design for avoiding interference with peripheral members for placement in this mounting area, etc. There is a risk of prolonging the development period.

  In consideration of the above facts, the present invention has a structure of a plurality of light sources and a plurality of reflectors for the production of a variety of lights, and can reduce the increase in dimension in the depth direction, and interferes with peripheral members in a limited area. It is an object to obtain an electrical decoration device and a gaming machine that can be easily attached without doing so.

  The present invention is an electrical decoration device that produces an effect using light in addition to a decorative effect based on a design, and is held rotatably about a predetermined rotation axis, and at least a concave surface is finished to be a mirror surface and a concave mirror The partial spherical shaped movable reflector, and the light that is provided on the side facing the concave mirror of the movable reflector and in the vicinity of the rotation axis, and that is guided directly to the presentation destination by reflection from the concave mirror of the movable reflector is output. At least light output from the first light source unit and the first light source unit, the rear position where the movable reflector can reach almost all of the light output from the first light source unit directly to the presentation destination. Driving means for rotating between a shielding position that blocks a part of the movement reflector from directly reaching the presentation destination, and the movable reflector in a state where the movable reflector is positioned at the back position. A fixed reflector that is disposed facing the convex surface side of the reflector and is a concave mirror with the surface facing the convex surface side mirror-finished, and the concave mirror of the movable reflector at the rear surface position, or the movable reflector is at the shielding position. Sometimes, the second light source unit that outputs light to the concave mirror of the fixed reflector, the first light source unit, the second light source unit, and the driving means are controlled to provide the presentation destination. Control means for controlling the effect of the light.

  According to the present invention, when the movable reflector is in the back position, the light from the first light source unit is directly output to the effect providing destination, and is also reflected and output by the concave mirror of the movable reflector. . At this time, since the light from the second light source unit is reflected by the concave mirror of the movable reflector and output to the production provider, the light from the two types of light source units is synthesized and produced. Can do.

  On the other hand, when the movable reflector is in the shielding position, the light from the second light source unit is reflected by the concave mirror of the fixed reflector and output to the effect providing destination, and the light from the first light source unit is output. Then, the light is reflected by the concave mirror of the movable reflector and subsequently outputted by the concave mirror of the fixed reflector.

  In this way, it is possible to obtain a variety of effects due to light with respect to the effect providing destination.

  Also, in order to realize such a variety of effects, conventionally, it is necessary to mirror-finish the convex side of the movable reflector, and a part of the fixed reflector is penetrated, and the light source unit is disposed outside the fixed reflector. There was a need.

  However, in the present invention, when the movable reflector is in the retracted position, the convex surface side facing the concave mirror of the fixed reflector does not need to be mirror-finished. In addition, the second light source unit, which is basically a light source for the fixed reflector, can be arranged inside the movable reflector. For example, a part of the fixed reflector is penetrated and the light source unit is arranged outside the fixed reflector. Since there is no need, the dimension in the depth direction can be reduced.

  In the present invention, the movable reflector is provided with a through-hole through which a part of light from the first light source unit passes when positioned at the shielding position.

  By providing the through hole in the movable reflector, a part of the light can be penetrated from the through hole even if the movable reflector is positioned at the shielding position, and the effect can be further improved.

  The light transmittance from the through hole is not limited to 100%. For example, by attaching a filter or the like, the light amount may be less than 100%, or only a specific color may be transmitted. Also good. Further, a movable shutter may be further provided in the through hole.

  In the present invention, a gap is provided in which light output from the second light source unit and reflected by the concave mirror of the fixed reflector is output from the outside of the periphery of the movable reflector.

  By making the external dimensions of the fixed reflector larger than the external dimensions of the movable reflector, the outer periphery (the peripheral edge of the movable reflector and the peripheral edge of the fixed reflector) The reflected light from the concave mirror of the fixed reflector can be output to the production providing destination from the gap), and the production effect can be diversified.

  In the present invention, the first light source unit and the second light source unit are respectively supported on the front and back surfaces, and at least a focal position is avoided in the reflected light from the movable reflector and the fixed reflector, and It further has a support member provided at a position where the ratio of blocking the forward path of the reflected light is suppressed.

  When the first light source unit and the second light source unit are arranged inside the concave mirror of the movable reflector via the support member and on the rotation axis, the support member is naturally arranged on the optical path. At this time, since the light is almost diffuse light, all of the light flux is not blocked. If the light is condensed light, if the support member is disposed so as to avoid the focal position, all of the light flux is not blocked. As a result, the presence of the support member can be difficult for the presentation provider.

  A gaming machine equipped with the electrical decoration device of the present invention is characterized.

  By installing the electrical decoration device of the present invention in a gaming machine, for example, there is a display device as a main means for notifying the result of a lottery based on game specifications, and when notifying the result of the lottery on the display device, If necessary, it is possible to use a light effect or an operation effect by the lighting device, so that the player can expect the result of the lottery result (for example, if it is a winning / losing lottery, the lighting device) The expectation that the chances of winning will be higher due to the light condition of).

  As an example, the lighting device of the present invention is disposed on the front surface of the display device so as to be able to appear and is normally positioned at a retreat position where it does not overlap with the display device, and a retreat position when any special notification (such as notice notification) is required. To the front position of the display device. Since the lighting device itself has a role as a decorative member, this alone will produce an effect, but by performing the effect with light in front of the display device, the player will wait for the lottery result with great expectation It will be.

  As described above, the present invention has a structure of a plurality of light sources and a plurality of reflectors for the production of diverse light, and can reduce an increase in dimension in the depth direction, and interferes with a peripheral member in a limited area. And has an excellent effect that it can be easily attached.

Side). The support member 220 is preferably rod-shaped as shown in FIG.

  Further, when the condensed light is present among the light that passes, the support member 220 is disposed so as not to be disposed at the focal position of the light. That is, if there is a support member at the focal position of any of the optical paths of the condensed light (the state shown in FIG. 6B), the entire path of the light is shielded (unfavorable structure). On the other hand, if it is at a position deviating from the focal position (the state of FIG. 6A), a part of the light is blocked, but the other part of the light is effective, that is, not blocked. If it sees, presence of the supporting member 220 will not be recognized (preferable structure).

  The movable lifter 218 is driven by the motor 212 to a position facing the first light source unit 220 (a shielding position shown in FIG. 5A) and a position facing the second light source unit 224 (FIG. 5 ( It is configured to rotate between the rear position shown in B). As a detailed appearance, the shielding position is shown in FIG. 7A and the back position is shown in FIG. 7B. FIG. 8 shows the case where the movable reflector 218 is in the back position, whereas FIG. 2 is the shielding position.

  The movable reflector 218 is provided with a streak-like slit hole 218A so that light is intentionally leaked from the slit hole 218A even when the movable reflector 218 is positioned at the shielding position. The transmittance of light from the slit hole 218A is not limited to 100%, and may be 0% <transmittance ≦ 100%, or may transmit only a specific color. Furthermore, a mechanical shutter or an electronic shutter may be attached to the slit hole.

  In addition, a lens unit 226 is disposed in a region inside the rotation locus of the movable reflector 218 and in front of the support member 220 (effect providing side). The lens unit 226 is roughly classified and is provided with a spotlight lens portion 226A and a diffusion lens portion 226B. Light from the first light source unit 222 is input to the spotlight lens unit 226A, and condensed light is output toward the presentation destination, and the first light source unit 222 and the first light source unit 226B are output to the diffusion lens unit 226B. The light from the second light source unit 224 (including the reflected light from the concave mirror 218M of the movable reflector 218 and the concave mirror 216M of the fixed reflector 216) is diffused and output.

  That is, in main lighting device 200 in the present embodiment, in response to a command from effect control unit 152, electric effect production unit 208 hidden behind center accessory 105 is lowered to display an image on LCD display unit 106. Light that is arranged on the surface and has a wide variety of light by independent light emission control of the first light source unit 222 and the second light source unit 224 and rotation operation (back surface position, shielding position) of the movable reflector 208. The production of has been realized.

  The operation of this embodiment will be described below.

  In the game using the pachinko machine 10, when the player operates the grip unit 26, the ball is shot upward by the launching device 165 one by one. The launched game ball PB is driven into the game area 19 of the game board 18 along the outer rail 102 and falls in the game area 19 while changing the direction by hitting the game nail or the windmill. Then, the game ball PB reaching the lower end of the game area 19 without winning a prize is collected into the pachinko machine 10 from the out port 40.

  Further, when the game ball PB wins a start winning opening 20 provided in the game area 19 or passes through the passing gate 22, processing based on the respective game specifications (for example, lottery, etc.) is executed and an LCD display An image display effect on the unit 106, a sound effect using the speaker 60, and the like are executed. Although not shown in the drawing, a predetermined prize ball (payout) is executed when a normal winning opening is won.

(Outline of game specifications)
First, the game control centered on the lottery process in the main control unit 150 will be described.

  When the game ball PB wins the special symbol start winning opening (A) 130 or the special symbol start winning opening (B) 134, it is determined whether or not it is an effective start winning prize. The effective start winning is a game where the reserved balls are not full (for example, four for one start opening) and the special symbol starting winning opening (A) 130 or the special symbol starting winning opening (A) 134 is played. Saying that the ball PB has won a prize, and thereby, a lottery right is obtained. In the invalid starting prize, the right to draw is not given, but a predetermined number (about 3 to 5) of prize balls may be paid out.

  If the starting prize is an effective starting prize, a random number is acquired, a pre-stored winning value is read, and both are compared to determine whether the lottery is winning or not.

  If the current gaming state is in jackpot processing or symbol variation pattern production, in order to put the right of the lottery on hold, the number of holdings is incremented by one (+1), and the current gaming state is in jackpot processing If there is no or even during the design variation pattern production, the lottery process is executed by subtracting the hold number by one.

  Based on the winning / losing of the lottery, the symbol variation pattern effect time is set, and a command including the lottery result and the symbol variation pattern time is sent to the sub-control unit 152.

  The effect control unit 152 notifies the lottery result using the set effect time.

  After this notification, if the result of the lottery is a win, a special gaming state (a jackpot process) is executed. In the normal gaming state, the closed attacker 112 is always opened and closed by a predetermined number of rounds (5R, 10R, 15R). The opening time of the attacker 112 is a maximum of 30 seconds. The attacker 112 is closed when a predetermined number (for example, 8 to 10) of game balls are won during the opening, and a predetermined closing time is set. , Go to the next round (open). Thereby, the player can receive a lot of prize balls in a short time.

(Production by main lighting device 200)
In the progress of the game based on the above game specifications, in particular, in the case of the symbol variation pattern effect informing the result of the lottery, in addition to the effect on the LCD display unit 106, the effect by the main lighting device 200 accompanied by the mechanical operation There is a case. The effect by the main lighting device 200 is executed at a predetermined timing during the effect by the LCD display unit 106, for example, by separately drawing the sub-control unit 152 based on the lottery result.

  That is, from the state where there is nothing on the front surface of the image display surface of the LCD display unit 106, as shown in FIG. 2, the main illumination device 200 and the auxiliary illumination device are overlapped with the image display surface of the LCD display unit 106. The devices 202L and 202R protrude.

  That is, the main illumination device 200 is retracted to the upper part of the LCD display unit 106, and the auxiliary illumination devices 202L and 202R are retracted to the left and right of the LCD display unit 106 (each inside the center accessory 105), and a special effect is instructed. At the position shown in FIG. 2 (effect position).

  Hereinafter, the effect by the light of the main electrical decoration apparatus 200 is demonstrated.

  The main electrical decoration device 200 shown in FIG. 2 is in a state where the movable reflector 218 is rotated by the driving force of the motor 212 and is positioned at the shielding position. At this time, the lens unit 226 is not exposed (it is hardly visible from the production provider).

  On the other hand, when the movable reflector 218 is rotated from the shielding position by the driving force of the motor 212, the movable reflector 218 is positioned at the back position as shown in FIGS. At this time, the lens unit 226 is exposed (all visible from the production provider).

  The operation of the main lighting device 200 is the movement of the shielding position (see FIG. 2) and the back surface position (see FIG. 8) of the movable reflector 218, and includes the first light source unit 222 and the second light source unit. The effect of light from 224 is added.

(Light production at the shielding position)
As shown in FIG. 5A, when the movable reflector 218 is positioned at the shielding position, most of the lens unit 226 is invisible from the presentation destination.

  This state is an arrangement configuration corresponding to FIG. 7A as an actual appearance, and the light output from the first light source unit 222 is the spotlight lens unit 226A and the diffusion lens unit 226B of the lens unit 226. , And is reflected by the concave mirror 218M of the movable reflector 218, and then diffuses and converges. The degree of irregular reflection varies depending on the region of the decorative member such as chrome plating, and a part of the irregular reflection may be guided to the effect providing destination as leakage light.

  In addition, a part of the light from the first light source unit 222 that has passed through the spotlight lens unit 226A and the diffusion lens unit 226B of the lens unit 226 passes through the slit hole 218A of the movable reflector 218, and reaches the production provider. .

  On the other hand, the light output from the second light source unit 224 is reflected by the concave mirror 216A of the fixed reflector 216, and is, for example, leaked from the outside of the outer periphery of the movable reflector 218 and guided to the presentation destination. At this time, since the arrangement position of the support member 220 does not exist at the focal position of the reflected light, no light is completely blocked by the support member (see FIG. 6A).

(Light production at the back position)
As shown in FIG. 5B, when the movable reflector 218 is positioned at the back surface position, most of the lens unit 226 is visible from the presentation provider.

  This state is an arrangement configuration corresponding to FIG. 7B in terms of the actual appearance, and the light output from the first light source unit 222 includes the spotlight lens unit 226A and the diffusion lens unit 226B of the lens unit 226. Go directly to the production provider. Note that part of the light may be irregularly reflected to be background light of light output from the spotlight lens unit 226A, for example. The degree of irregular reflection varies depending on the region of the decorative member such as chrome plating.

  On the other hand, the light output from the second light source unit 224 is reflected by the concave mirror 218M of the movable reflector 218, passes through the slit hole 218A of the movable reflector 218, and is reflected by the concave mirror 216M of the fixed reflector 216. For example, the light reflected by the concave mirror 218M of the movable reflector 218 becomes weaker (smaller in light amount) than the light from the first light source unit 222, and becomes the spotlight lens unit 226A and the diffusion lens of the lens unit 226. It is output from the unit 226B and guided to the presentation provider. In addition, the light reflected by the concave mirror 216M of the fixed reflector 216 is leaked from the outer side of the movable reflector 218 (gap A shown in FIG. 4B) and guided to the presentation destination.

  At this time, since the arrangement position of the support member 220 does not exist at the focal position of the reflected light, no light is completely blocked by the support member (see FIG. 6B).

  As described above, in the present embodiment, two light source units (first light source unit 222 and second light source unit 224) and two reflectors (movable reflector 218 and fixed reflector 216) are provided. The main lighting device 200 can realize a variety of light effects.

  Conventionally, in the case of such a double-structure reflector, a light source is provided on the outer side of the outermost reflector, and a through-hole for guiding light from the light source to the inner side is provided in the outermost reflector. The convex side of the inner reflector (the surface facing the concave mirror of the outer reflector when it overlaps) had to be mirror finished.

  However, in the present embodiment, the support member 220 is disposed inside the movable reflector 218 (the front surface of the concave mirror 218M), and the first light source unit 222 and the second light source unit 224 are provided on the front and back surfaces thereof. It is not necessary to provide a light source outside the fixed reflector 216, and the size of the main lighting device 200 in the depth direction can be reduced.

  In this embodiment, the main lighting device 200 is taken as an example. However, as a function for performing various light effects in a so-called patrol-lighted lighting device that includes a light source and a double-structured rotating lamp. As shown in FIG. 5, the effect of the present invention can be achieved if a basic configuration in which two types of light sources having opposite light emission directions are arranged on the inner rotation axis of the inner reflector (movable reflector 218) is established. Can play. Therefore, the main electrical decoration device 200 itself may be fixedly arranged at any position on the game board 18.
