Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine.

In various game machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines, various images such as pictures, characters, codes, etc. related to game contents are displayed on an image display device such as a liquid crystal display device provided on the game board surface. The situation is displayed and the production effect is demonstrated.
In recent years, a gaming machine has been proposed in which a movable accessory is arranged in front of a display screen of a liquid crystal display device, and the movable accessory is operated in various ways.
For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a gaming machine that includes an effect accessory that can be rotated with an electrical component as a movable accessory.
The gaming machine disclosed in Patent Document 1 has a configuration in which a production role is supported on a support member, and the production role is rotated on the axis of the support member. A flexible cable (harness) is used to supply a signal for controlling the signal.
In other words, the support member that supports the rotatable effect character and the effect character are connected by the harness to supply a signal to the effect character.
As a characteristic configuration described in Patent Document 1, the harness connecting portion on the support member side that supports the effect for the effect and the harness connection portion on the effect accessory side are opposed to the rotation axis of the effect for the effect. Has been placed.
Therefore, even if the effect for the effect is rotated, the movement of the harness between the effect for the effect and the supporting member is minimized, and other harnesses do not come into contact with other members. It is possible to prevent problems such as disconnection of the harness at the portion or disconnection of the harness from each connection portion.

JP 2007-275380 A

However, the configuration disclosed in Patent Document 1 (the relationship between the harness and each connection portion) can be applied when the effect item rotates on the axis of the support member, but the rotation axis direction of the effect item It cannot be applied when the wiring direction of the harness is different.
The same applies to the case where there is not a sufficient distance between the effect accessory and the support member.
For example, when supporting a rotating body that rotates along the supporting surface on the supporting surface of the base member as a supporting member, and wiring a harness from the gaming machine body to the rotating body through the base member, patent documents It is necessary to adopt a completely different wiring method from that of 1.
In that case, when the rotating body rotates, the harness comes into contact with other members inside the base member, and there is a possibility that the harness may be disconnected due to the tension applied to the contact portion.
FIG. 31 is a diagram illustrating an example of a configuration in which the rotating combination is supported on the support surface of the base member, where the rotation axis direction of the rotating combination differs from the wiring direction of the harness in the base member.
FIG. 31 shows a base member 402 that supports a rotating body 400 that is a part of a movable accessory so as to be rotatable about a shaft 401 from the back side thereof.
In the configuration of FIG. 31, in order to wire the harness 500 wired along the side inner wall 406 of the base member 402 to the rotating body 400 side, it is necessary to bend one end and change the wiring direction.
In the harness 500, the bent portion 500 a is held by a holding member 403 projecting from the back side of the rotating body 400.
The holding member 403 includes plate-like members 403a and 403b that sandwich the bent portion of the flexible cable.
Furthermore, the base member 402 includes a penetrating region 404 penetrating from the front side to the rear side, and the holding member 403 projects from the base member 402 through the penetrating region 404 and rotates the rotating body 400. Accordingly, the inside of the penetrating region 404 can be moved.
As a result of the configuration described above, when the rotating body 400 rotates, the flexible cable 500 drawn into the base member 402 from the support member 403 comes into contact with the corner portion of the end of the plate-like member 403a constituting the support member 403.
When the rotating body 400 rotates in the arrow K direction in the figure in this state, there is a problem that the flexible cable is disconnected due to the shearing force generated at the plate-like member 403a and the contact portion 405 of the flexible cable.
In view of the above-described problems, the present invention is based on the fact that the harness that supplies a signal to the rotating body rotating on the base member contacts the member in the base member when the rotating body rotates and breaks due to shearing force. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can prevent the occurrence of the above.

In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine according to a first aspect of the present invention includes a rotating body, a base member provided on one side with a support portion for rotatably supporting the rotating body, and extending from the rotating body. A flexible cable wired on the other surface side of the base member via a through region provided in the base member, and the rotating body holds the bent portion of the flexible cable that has been bent and changed its direction. A holding member protrudes, and the holding member protrudes to the back side of the support part through the penetrating region, and the flexible cable portion located on the other side of the support part has a predetermined extra length. In this state, it is accommodated in a space provided on the other surface side of the support portion, and the extra length portion of the flexible cable is bent and deformed in the space as the rotating body rotates. It is characterized by having a curvature and a curved portion which is curved in the same direction of the extra length portion immediately after drawn from the holding member.
A gaming machine according to a second aspect of the present invention is the gaming machine according to the first aspect, wherein the flexible cable wired to the other surface side of the base member can be wired along the inner side wall of the base member. It is a cable in which a predetermined number of flexible cables having various widths are stacked, and is gathered into one wide flexible cable outside the frame member.

  Since it comprised as mentioned above, according to this invention, even if a harness contacts the member in a base member when a rotary body rotates, it becomes possible to prevent that a shearing force is added and a disconnection etc. generate | occur | produce. .

As shown in FIGS. 8 to 21, the first effect movable device A includes a sub-image display device (display member) 30 and an operation mechanism 60 as main components.
That is, a sub-image display device (display member) 30 is arranged in front of the display screen 7a on the front surface of the main image display device (main display member) 7, and the sub-image display device 30 has an operation mechanism (sub-image). The display device operating mechanism) 60 causes the lowered position (first position) shown in FIGS. 1, 2, 10 (c), 12 (d), and the like, and FIGS. 3, 4, 10 (a), It is configured to be movable back and forth between the raised position (second position) shown in FIG.

The sub-image display device 30 includes a display device base 33, a rectangular display screen (display surface) 31 disposed on the front surface of the display device base 33, and a decorative member such as a gimmick disposed on the rear surface of the display device base 33. 50.
The display device base portion 33 has two supported side end portions of the four side end portions excluding the front surface and the rear surface, in this example, pivoted support portions 34a respectively provided at both end portions in the longitudinal direction. The display screen 31 and the decorative member 50 are alternately turned to the front side so that the player can visually recognize them. ing.
Each holder member 40 connects each supported shaft 34 a (support 34) by rotatably supporting each supported shaft 34 a provided at each intermediate portion of both side edges in the longitudinal direction of the display device base 33. The display device base 33 is rotated forward and backward about the rotation axis (first rotation axis) 34A.

  Each holder member 40 has a second rotation axis (other rotation axis) 41 parallel to the first rotation axis 34A at a position closer to the rear side (and a lower position) than the first rotation axis 34A. Each holder member 40 is rotated about the second rotation shaft 41 so that the sub image display device 30 is held between the holder members when the sub-image display device 30 is in the lowered position shown in FIGS. The vertical angle of the display screen 31 of the sub-image display device 30 is changed.

  Further, in each holder member 40, the second rotating shaft 41 is always elastically biased by the elastic member (torsion spring etc.) 97 shown in FIG. 16 or the like so that the front end portion of each holder member bottom face is lowered downward. Yes. Therefore, even when a force that raises the front portion of the holder member is applied and the holder member is rotated upward, the holder is fully rotated downward by releasing the upward force. (Position). At the position where the holder has been fully rotated downward, the front surface 31 of the sub image display device maintains a substantially vertical posture.

  The second rotating shaft 41 is supported by a connecting member 45 that connects the two holder members. That is, each holder member 40 is pivotally supported by the second rotating shaft 41 provided on the connecting member 45 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. Each holder member 40 and the connecting member 45 constitute a holder H.

Each holder member 40 and the sub-image display device 30 that are rotatably held by the second rotating shaft 41 are configured to advance and retract along a predetermined movement path by the operation mechanism 60. In this example, it is configured to advance and retreat from the edge (lower edge) of the display screen toward the center along the display screen 7a on the front surface of the main image display device 7. In addition, the holder H and the sub image display device are provided by pivotally supporting a third rotating shaft 46 provided at a suitable position in the back middle portion of the connecting member by a member (first reciprocating member 71) constituting the operation mechanism 60. Rotates along a plane substantially parallel to the display screen of the main image display device. Since the third rotating shaft 46 is orthogonal (or intersects) with the first rotating shaft 34A and the second rotating shaft 41, the sub-image display device 30 and the holder H are centered on the orthogonal rotating shafts. Will rotate in different directions.
In other words, the holder H (the connecting member 45) is moved by the operation mechanism 60 at the first position (FIGS. 1 and 2) near the periphery of the liquid crystal display device body and the second position (FIGS. 3 and 4) near the inside. ), While being guided so as to reciprocate between the second rotation shaft 46 and the third rotation shaft 46.
That is, the operation mechanism 60 moves the holder H holding the sub image display device 30 in a vertical direction between a predetermined movement path, in this example, the lower edge edge central portion of the main image display device and the substantially central portion of the display screen. A reciprocating movement is performed along the extending movement path.
Note that the movement path in the vertical direction is merely an example, and various modifications such as a horizontal direction and an oblique direction are possible.
A stopper 49 is fixedly disposed at a position that interferes with the descending path of the holder H (holder member 40) at the lowermost part of the moving path of the sub image display device 30 (see FIG. 13 and the like).

  When the operation mechanism 60 lowers the connecting member 45 together with each holder member 40 and the sub image display device 30 to the lowermost portion (one end portion) of the movement path, the stopper 49 is positioned below the holder member 40 (second rotation shaft). The front part of each holder member 40 is rotated upward about the second rotation shaft 41 by pushing up the holder member relatively in contact with the front part 41. For this reason, the display screen (display surface) 31 of the sub-image display device 30 held by the holder member is inclined upward by a predetermined angle (the angle at which the holder H is inclined) with the second rotation shaft 41 as the center. Can do. That is, when the sub image display device 30 is in the upper position, the display screen 31 is maintained in a vertical posture by the force of the elastic member 97, but the holder member is lowered and its front bottom surface (second rotation shaft) is maintained. Since the stopper 49 pushes up the bottom of the front part of the holder member by further lowering the rear part of the holder member by a predetermined distance even after the front part contacts the stopper 49, the display screen 31 of the sub-image display device. The posture is inclined upward.

A substantially L-shaped second reciprocation having a slot 76 that extends in the lateral direction and is supported in such a manner as to be able to advance and retreat independently in a direction parallel to the up-and-down movement path and has a positional relationship communicating with the guide slit 72. A member 75, a stopper piece 78 (FIG. 18A) fixed to the fixing member 61 side to determine the upper limit position of the second reciprocating member 75, and a rear surface of the connecting member 45 are provided. Guide slit 72 and length A pin 47 which loosely projects simultaneously into 76, and a. That is, the pin 47 is always fitted into the guide slit 72 and the elongated hole 76 at the same time while the first reciprocating member 71 and the second reciprocating member 75 are moved up and down. Then, the connecting member 45 (holder H) receives the driving force via the pin 47 in the process in which the first reciprocating member 71 and the second reciprocating member 75 are moved up and down. Reverse rotation operation can be performed.
The pin 47 includes a guide slit, a protrusion that can move smoothly in the elongated hole, a rolling member, and the like.

The pin 47, the guide slit 72, and the long hole 76 constitute a rotation mechanism that rotates the holder H around the third rotation axis (other rotation axis) 46.
The movable part 63b constituting the guide member 63 is fixed to the first reciprocating member 71, and when the first reciprocating member 71 in the lowered position is raised by the drive mechanism 80, the movable part 63b becomes the base part 63a. Therefore, the movement path of the first reciprocating member 71 can be stabilized.

  An elastic member 77 is disposed between the first reciprocating member 71 and the second reciprocating member 75, and the second reciprocating member 75 is constantly urged in the upward direction by the elastic member 77. In other words, in this example, one end of the elastic member 77 is supported around the third rotation shaft 46 and the other end is locked to a locking piece 75 a protruding from the lower portion of the second reciprocating member 75. The second reciprocating member is always biased in the direction toward the third rotation shaft. That is, since the second reciprocating member 75 is attracted toward the third rotating shaft 46 (upward) by the elastic member 77, the second reciprocating member 71 is raised in the process of rising from the lowest position. The reciprocating member 75 ascends integrally with the first reciprocating member until the protrusion (locked portion) 75b provided at the lower portion comes into contact with the stopper piece 78 (FIGS. 18 (a) (b) → FIG. 19 (a)). (B), FIG. 20 (c) → (b) → (a)). Further, when the connecting member 45 is in a horizontal posture (a posture orthogonal to the movement path), the pin 47 is in a position in contact with one end portion of the elongated hole 76 (FIGS. 17 and 18A), and the connecting member 45. The pin 47 is in a position in contact with the other end of the long hole 76 (FIG. 18B) when the pin 47 is in the intermediate posture inclined by 45 degrees (FIG. 18B), and the pin 47 is in the long hole 76 when the connecting member 45 is in the vertical posture. It is in the position which contact | connected the one end part of (FIG. 19 (a), (b)).

  The drive mechanism 80 reciprocates the first reciprocating member 71 to reciprocate the connecting member 45 between the lowered position (outer position = first position) and the raised position (inner position = second position). Make it work. Then, in the process in which the first reciprocating member 71 moves from the position corresponding to the lowered position of the connecting member to the position corresponding to the raised position, the second reciprocating member 75 has a protrusion 75b provided on the lower end portion thereof. It moves integrally with the first reciprocating member 71 until it abuts on the piece 78, and the protrusion 75b abuts on the stopper piece 78, so that the second reciprocating member 75 is restricted from moving upward. Only one reciprocating member continues to move upward against the elastic member 77. Further, after the second reciprocating member 75 is restricted from moving upward by the stopper piece 78, the pin 47 extends in the outer diameter direction (a direction away from the second rotation shaft 46) along the horizontally long slot 76. The holder H and the sub image display device 30 are moved around the third rotation axis 46 by moving in the circumferential direction relatively along the guide slit 72 while moving in the left direction in the rear view of FIG. Rotate.

When the pin 47 reaches the other end of the guide slit 72, the sub-image display device has an inclination angle of 45 degrees as shown in FIG. 18B, and when the pin 47 returns to one end of the guide slit 72. 19 (a) and 19 (b), and the further rotation stops.
In this way, in this example, the sub image display device 30 maintains a horizontal posture in the process in which the sub image display device 30 reaches the raised position from the lowered position (FIG. 12 (c), FIG. 11 (c) ( b), FIG. 17 and FIG. 18 (a)), and change to a vertically long posture by turning 90 degrees after reaching the raised position (FIG. 11 (a), FIG. 18 (b), FIG. 19 (a)). (B)).

  That is, the relationship between the height position of the sub image display device 30 and the lifting mechanism 70 is as follows. When the first reciprocating member 71 rises from a position corresponding to the lowered position of the sub-image display device and the projection 75b of the second reciprocating member 75 comes into contact with the stopper piece 78, the pin 47 is moved by the elongated hole 76. Since the above-described rise is prevented (FIGS. 18A and 20A), the rise of the connecting member 45 (sub-image display device) is stopped.

Thereafter, when the first reciprocating member 71 continues to rise alone, the pin 47 that is prevented from further rising by the elongated hole 76 moves laterally in the elongated hole and moves relatively in the guide slit 72. It moves (FIG. 18B, FIG. 19A). That is, when the protrusion 75 b of the second reciprocating member 75 comes into contact with the stopper piece 78, the pin 47 is prevented from further rising by the elongated hole 76, but the pin moves laterally in the elongated hole 76. Since the room is left, the pin can move relatively in the circumferential direction along the guide slit 72 while moving in the elongate hole in the lateral direction as the first reciprocating member further moves up. .
That is, the force when the first reciprocating member 71 ascends alone after the second reciprocating member is prevented from rising is used as the force for rotating the holder H (sub-image display device). In the process in which the pin 47 relatively moves in the circumferential direction in the guide slit 72, the connecting member 45 (holder H) rotates about the third rotation shaft 46.

  Conversely, when the first reciprocating member 71 descends from the most elevated position, an operation of reversely rotating the connecting member 45 to return to the horizontal posture and then descending is performed through a procedure reverse to the above. Done. That is, the second reciprocating member 75 is in a state where the first reciprocating member 71 is stopped by the stopper piece 78 from the most elevated position (FIG. 20A) by driving the drive mechanism 80 in the reverse direction. In the meantime, the pin 47 moves in the direction opposite to that when the guide slit 72 is lifted up to the height position, so that the connecting member 45 rotates in the reverse direction about the third rotation axis and takes the horizontal posture. Become. When the drive mechanism 80 is continuously driven in the reverse direction, the first reciprocating member and the second reciprocating member start to descend integrally, and finally return to the lowest position (FIGS. 20A, 20B, 20C). )).

Each holder member 40 is urged downward by an elastic member 97 provided on the second rotation shaft 41 about the second rotation shaft 41, and is supported by the holder when no external force is applied. The sub image display device 30 maintains a vertical posture.
Immediately before the holder H supported by the first reciprocating member 71 reaches the lowest lowered position shown in FIGS. 12D and 20C, the lower surface of each holder member 40 comes into contact with the stopper 49. When the holder H is lowered and reaches the lowest position, the front portion of each holder member 40 is rotated upward about the second rotation shaft 41. Therefore, the display screen 31 of the sub-image display device 30 held by the holder H is tilted upward by a predetermined angle (an angle at which the holder member is tilted) about the second rotation shaft 41 against the elastic member 97. (FIG. 8, FIG. 20 (c)).

  In the present embodiment, the elevating mechanism (moving mechanism) 70 and the driving mechanism 80 are configured to have a thin thickness dimension in the front-rear direction, so that the main image display device 7 is increased in size and thickness, and thus the main image display device. Even if the space between the front surface of the glass and the glass plate is narrowed, it can be sufficiently accommodated in this space.

Next, FIGS. 15 and 16 are explanatory views showing the structure of the holder that supports the sub-image display device 30.
The sub-image display device 30 is configured to be rotatable (spinned) by being pivotally supported by pivotal support portions 34a provided on the holder members 40A and 40B, respectively. The sub image display device is rotated by the sub image display device rotation mechanism 90 including the motor 91 mounted on one holder member 40A.

The sub-image display device rotating mechanism includes a motor 91, an output gear 91a of the motor, intermediate gears 92a and 92b rotatably supported by a holder member and sequentially meshed with the output gear 91a, and an axial center portion of the intermediate gear 92b. And the cases 95a and 95b for housing them. The shaft support portion 34 is engaged with the shaft support portion 34a on the sub image display device 30 side, thereby transmitting the rotational driving force from the motor 91 to the sub image display device to rotate.
That is, when the motor 91 rotates forward and backward based on a control signal from the control means, the sub image display device 30 can be rotated in an arbitrary direction at an arbitrary rotation angle.

The holder member 40B has casing structures 96a and 96b for supporting the other pivotally supported portion 34a of the sub-image display device.
The gears 92a and 92b and the shaft support 34 are made of a resin material, and an iron piece 98 is fixed to a part of the gear 92b so as to rotate integrally with the gear 92b. Further, permanent magnets (not shown) are arranged at two positions adjacent to the rotational movement path of the iron piece 98 on the inner surface of the case 95b. One permanent magnet maintains its posture by attracting the iron piece 98 when the front surface of the sub-image display device 30 faces frontward, and the other permanent magnet holds when the rear surface of the sub-image display device 30 faces frontward. It arrange | positions so that the attitude | position may be maintained by attracting | sucking the iron piece 98. FIG.

FIG. 22 is a diagram illustrating wiring of a flexible cable (also referred to as a harness, hereinafter referred to as a harness) for transmitting a video signal to the sub-image display device 30 in the above-described production movable device A.
As described above, the connecting member (rotating member) 45 of the holder H that supports the sub-image display device 30 is in the process in which the first reciprocating member 71 and the second reciprocating member 75 as the base member are moved up and down. Can be rotated forward and backward about the third rotation shaft 46 in response to the driving force passing through.
The first reciprocating member 71 includes a support portion (support surface) 71A (FIG. 23) that supports the connecting member 45 on one surface side (front surface side), and also passes the harness 200 penetrating from the front surface side to the back surface side. The through region 73 is provided.

FIG. 23 is an exploded view for explaining the wiring of the harness 200 from the sub image display device 30 to the holder H and the first reciprocating member 71.
As shown in FIG. 23, the harness 200 wired from the sub image display device 30 via the holder H (connection member 45) is pulled out from the sub image display device 30 and enters the holder member 40. Then, the direction is changed to the first reciprocating member 71 side and wired from the penetrating region 73 to the inside of the first reciprocating member 71.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 22 and 23, the harness 200 wired on the back surface side (inside) of the first reciprocating member 71 has a width that allows wiring along the inner side wall of the first reciprocating member 71. This is a cable in which a predetermined number of harnesses are stacked (in the figure, there are three cables, which are composed of cables 200A, 200B, and 200C).
The plurality of harnesses are gathered into one wider harness outside the first reciprocating member 71.
For example, on the side of the sub image display device 30, the sub image display device 30 is aggregated into one cable via the relay board accommodated in the holder member 40 and accommodated in the sub image display device 30.

FIG. 24 is a diagram showing in detail the wiring pattern of the harness 200 inside the first reciprocating member 71.
The harness 200 enters the space 71 </ b> B provided inside the first reciprocating member 71 from the penetration region 73.
Then, it is bent approximately 90 degrees in the void 71B (bending portion 200d), and the direction is changed along the side inner wall of the first reciprocating member 71 in a wiringable direction.
On the back surface (rear surface) side of the connecting member 45, a member 74 that is a combination of two plate-like members 74a and 74b that protrudes into the space 71B through the through region 73 of the first reciprocating member 71 is provided. ing.
The bent portion 200d of the harness 200 is sandwiched and held by the plate-like members 74a and 74b constituting the member 74. That is, the member 74 is a holding member for the bent portion of the harness 200.

The direction-changed harness 200 drawn out from the holding member 74 forms a bent portion 200a having a predetermined length, and then hangs around a column-shaped routing portion 71b provided in the space 71B. Further, it is routed along the inner side surface 71c of the first reciprocating member 71 in the space 71B.
In the example of FIG. 24, the first reciprocating member is further wired along the side surface of the wall portion protruding between the guide member 63 and the elastic member 77, and further along the inner side surface of the lowermost portion of the first reciprocating member 71. 71 is drawn to the outside.
In addition, the bending part 200a which is the surplus part of the harness 200 moves up and down while being bent and deformed in the space 71B as the connecting member 45 rotates.

24, the harness portion 200b immediately after being pulled out of the holding member 74 is folded back (curved) along the end of the plate-like member 74a constituting the holding member 74. It continues to 200a.
The plate-like member 74 a is a plate-like member on the side in which the harness 200 extends from the holding member 73 among the two plate-like members constituting the holding member 74.
In the present embodiment, the end portion of the plate-like member 74a constituting the holding member 74 is provided with a curved portion 74c along the same direction as the curved portion 200b.
When the connecting member 45 rotates in the process in which the first reciprocating member 71 and the second reciprocating member 75 are moved up and down as described above, the bending portion 74c has a tension (shearing force) at the contact portion with the holding member in the harness 200. ) Is not applied.

FIGS. 25 to 27 are views showing a state in which the harness 200 is deformed when the holder H rotates, and FIGS. 28 to 30 are enlarged views focusing on the deformation of the harness in the same case.
25 and 28 show the state of the harness 200 before the sub image display device 30 starts to rotate.
26 and 29 show the state of the harness 200 while the sub-image display device 30 is rotating. FIGS. 27 and 30 show the harness 200 after the sub-image display device 30 is rotated. Indicates the state.

The harness 200 in the state shown in FIG. 25 is bent and deformed in the space 71B as shown in FIG. 26 (FIG. 29) → FIG. 27 (FIG. 30) when the connecting member 45 (holder H) rotates. Move while. Further, the connecting member 45 and the holding member 74 rotate and move in the L direction in FIG.
Further, when the first reciprocating member 71 is lowered, the connecting member 45 rotates in the reverse direction (M direction in FIG. 29) (FIG. 27 → FIG. 26 → FIG. 25, or FIG. 30 → FIG. 29 → FIG. 28). ).
At that time, the holding member 74, in particular, the plate-like member 74 a rotates and descends in the M direction in FIG. 29 while being in contact with the inner peripheral surface 200 c of the harness 200.

Particularly when the holding member 74 is lowered, if there is no curved portion at the end of the holding member 74 as shown in FIG. 31 described above, a shearing force is generated at the contact portion between the inner peripheral surface of the harness 200 and the holding member. There is a problem that the harness 200 is disconnected.
On the other hand, in this embodiment, since the curved surface of the curved portion 74c provided at the end of the plate-like member 74a contacts the inner peripheral surface 200c of the harness 200, it is possible to prevent an excessive shearing force from being applied to the harness 200, disconnection, etc. Can be prevented.
