Then, the payout control unit 400, for example, information on the number of prize balls instructed to pay out to the payout driving unit 411, information on the number of prize balls actually paid out detected by the payout ball detection unit 412, etc. Is transmitted to the host computer via the frame external information terminal board 450. Also, similar information is transmitted to the game control unit 200.

[Configuration of Frame Member 150]
Next, the structure of the frame member 150 of the pachinko gaming machine 100 will be described.
FIG. 4 is a perspective view illustrating the configuration of the frame member 150.
As shown in the figure, the frame member 150 includes an outer frame 10 as a frame member main body having a vertically long so-called frame structure, and a front frame (inner frame) 20 that is attached to the outer frame 10 so as to be opened and closed. ing.

The outer frame 10 is positioned at the four corners of the outer frame 10 and adjacent to the right vertical frame member 11, the left vertical frame member 12, the upper horizontal frame member 13, and the lower horizontal frame member 14, which are four metal frame members. And a corner member 15 for connecting the frame members to each other.

The vertical position of the upper end of the curtain plate 16 is substantially the same as the vertical position of the upper end of the lower horizontal frame member 14. Further, a design decoration can be applied to the front surface (player side surface) of the curtain plate 16 by adding a company name, a logo, or the like, for example.
The outer frame 10 has a resin sliding portion 17 that slides with the front frame 20 when the front frame 20 opens and closes. More specifically, the sliding portion 17 is attached to the lower horizontal frame member 14. Further, the sliding portion 17 is located on the upper surface of the lower horizontal frame member 14 and is located on the opposite side (right side in the figure) to the side opposite to the side where the rotation axis of the front frame 20 is located. The sliding portion 17 contacts the lower surface of the game board holding frame 22 and holds the front frame 20 in a state where the game board holding frame 22 of the front frame 20 is closed. For this reason, when the front frame 20 is closed, a gap is formed between the front frame 20 and the curtain plate 16.

The front frame 20 is attached to the outer frame 10 at one side (left side in FIG. 1) so that the rotation axis extends in the vertical direction. In other words, the front frame 20 includes a transparent plate holding frame 21 that holds the transparent plate in a predetermined position, and a game board holding frame 22 that holds the game board 110 in a predetermined position. Then, as shown in FIG. 4, the transparent plate holding frame 21 and the game board holding frame 22 in a closed state can be integrally rotated with respect to the outer frame 10 to be opened. Further, as will be described later, in a state where the transparent plate holding frame 21 and the game board holding frame 22 are closed, the game board holding frame 22 can be rotated and opened with respect to the outer frame 10 and the game board holding frame 22 alone. It is possible (see FIG. 4).
The game board holding frame 22 of the front frame 20 is provided with locking members 23, 24, 25 for locking the front frame 20 so that the front frame 20 does not open by engaging with the right vertical frame member 11 of the outer frame 10. ing. The locking members 23, 24, 25 are interlocked with each other by inserting a key (not shown) into a key hole (not shown) arranged on the front side of the pachinko gaming machine 100 and rotating in a predetermined direction. And unlocking operation.

  Various boards and the like are attached to the rear surface of the game board 110, and these various boards and the like are covered with a transparent cover 510 whose inside is visible. In other words, the main board and the sub board are arranged on the rear surface of the game board 110. That is, on the rear surface of the game board 110, a game control board 520 in which a game control unit that performs internal lottery and determination of winning is configured as a main board. The game control board 520 is sealed in a main board case 540 made of a transparent member so that a trace remains when opened.

In addition, as a sub-board, an effect control board 530 configured with an effect control unit that comprehensively controls effects, an image control board (not shown) configured with an image / sound control unit that controls image and sound effects, In addition, a lamp control board (not shown) on which a lamp control unit for controlling effects by various lamps and the movable accessory 115 is provided. A switching power supply 550 is provided on the rear surface of the game board 110 to convert the supplied 24V AC power supply into a DC power supply and output it to various boards.
In other words, a payout control board (not shown) configured with a payout control unit that controls payout of payout balls, and supply balls supplied from the outside controlled by the payout control board are temporarily stored, and a prize ball The payout unit 560 for paying out the ball and paying out the rental balls is disposed on the front frame 20 of the frame member 150.

[Examples of movable objects]
FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating an example of the movable accessory 115 in the pachinko gaming machine 100 according to the present embodiment.
As shown in FIG. 5A, the movable accessory 115 as the effect member in the present embodiment includes an accessory main body 115a configured to be operable, an electric lamp 115b, and a sub-image display unit 114b. Prepare. The illumination lamp 115 b is a kind of the panel lamp 116, and the light emission is controlled by the lamp control unit 320 like the other panel lamps 116. Similarly to the main image display unit 114a, the sub image display unit 114b is controlled by the image / sound control unit 310 to display an image for production. The movable accessory 115 is a movable effect member, and the sub-image display unit 114b is an image display unit.

  Further, the accessory body 115a includes a drive mechanism that operates under the control of the lamp control unit 320, and is in a state shown in FIG. 5A (a state in which the sub-image display unit 114b is disposed horizontally long, hereinafter referred to as an A state). ) To the state shown in FIG. 5B (the state in which the sub-image display unit 114b is arranged vertically, hereinafter referred to as the B state). For example, an effect image is normally displayed on the sub-image display unit 114b in the state A shown in FIG. 5A, and when a specific effect is performed, the accessory body 115a slightly rises accordingly. However, it rotates 1/4, and it will be in the B state shown in FIG.5 (b). Then, upon completion of the specific performance, the state returns from the B state to the A state.

  When controlling the movable accessory 115 configured as described above, at least a control signal to the drive mechanism that operates the accessory main body 115a, a control signal of the electric lamp 115b, and an image are displayed on the sub-image display unit 114b. Therefore, it is necessary to supply a video signal, which is a display control signal, to the movable accessory 115. Further, since the accessory body 115a moves, it is necessary to wire a signal transmission path (signal line) for supplying these signals so as to follow the operation of the accessory body 115a. Hereinafter, wiring to the movable accessory 115 will be described.

6 is a diagram showing an example of wiring to the movable accessory 115 shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 6, wiring to the movable accessory 115 is performed using a flexible flat cable 170. The flexible flat cable 170 is a strip-shaped wiring material that includes a plurality of conductive wires arranged in parallel. In the illustrated configuration example, the relay board 570 connected to the effect control board 530 (see FIG. 4) or the lamp control board (not shown) and the base 115c of the movable accessory 115 are connected by the flexible flat cable 170. Has been. Inside the base 115c, as described with reference to FIGS. 5A and 5B, a driving mechanism for operating the accessory body 115a is provided. The relay board 570 is a transmission unit, and the base 115c is a drive unit.

  Since the flexible flat cable 170 has a belt-like shape, it is very flexible with respect to bending deformation in the surface direction, but hardly deforms in the side direction. For this reason, when the wiring of the flexible flat cable 170 is appropriately determined and wired, the operation of the movable accessory 115 can be easily followed, while the cable is bent in an unexpected direction and entangled. It is suppressed that it is caught by protrusions.

  By the way, on the back surface of the game board 110 of the pachinko gaming machine 100, various boards, wirings, drive mechanisms for electric power articles, and the like are arranged in a limited space. Therefore, a flexible flat cable 170 for supplying a control signal and electric power to the movable accessory 115 as shown in FIG. The flexible flat cable 170 that can be wired based on the position where the movable accessory 115 is arranged and the orientation of the flexible flat cable 170 specified to correspond to the operation of the movable accessory 115. The width (hereinafter, cable width) may be limited. When the cable width is limited, the number of conductive wires provided in the flexible flat cable 170 is also limited. Therefore, it is conceivable to wire a plurality of flexible flat cables 170 as a means for wiring a large number of conductors in a situation where the cable width is limited.

FIG. 7 is a diagram illustrating a state in which three flexible flat cables 170 are stacked.
As shown in FIG. 7, by laying and wiring the flexible flat cable 170, a large number of conductors can be wired even when the cable width is limited in the space to be wired. Therefore, the present invention can also be applied to a case where a large number of wirings are required to supply various signals and electric power like the movable accessory 115 described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). As the number of the flexible flat cables 170 to be stacked increases, the thickness of the stacked flexible flat cables 170 (hereinafter referred to as a cable bundle) increases, so the flexibility in the surface direction of the entire cable bundle decreases. For example, the resistance when following the operation of the movable accessory 115 increases. Therefore, in actual wiring, the number of the flexible flat cables 170 to be stacked is usually about 2 to 3 is appropriate. However, the present embodiment can also be applied to a cable bundle in which four or more flexible flat cables 170 are stacked.

  However, when the flexible flat cable 170 is overlapped, the conductors provided at the corresponding positions of the cables are close to each other, so that the transmitted signals interfere with each other and generate noise and crosstalk (hereinafter referred to as noise). there is a possibility. In order to prevent this, in the present embodiment, the arrangement of transmission signals in the conductors arranged in the cable bundle (which signal is transmitted to which conductor) is specified.

[Arrangement of signal transmission path in cable bundle]
FIG. 8 is a diagram showing a configuration example of a bundle (cable bundle) of flexible flat cables 170 in the present embodiment.
In FIG. 8, the cross section of the direction which cuts the conducting wire in a cable bundle is shown roughly. The cable bundle shown in FIG. 8 is configured by stacking three flexible flat cables 170 of a cable I, a cable II, and a cable III. The cable I is provided with sixteen conductors from the conductor a to the conductor p, and the cable II and the cable III are provided with eight conductors from the conductor a to the conductor h. In addition, the number of conducting wires provided in each cable I, II, III is merely an example, and is not limited to the above and illustrated examples.

Here, the conducting wires arranged in the cables I, II, and III are formed with a predetermined gap (line interval). Specifically, the line interval of the cable I is narrower than the line interval of the cables II and III (L1 <L2). In the example shown in the drawing, the pitch of the cable I is smaller than the pitch of the cables II and III (P1 <P2) when looking at the pitch that is the distance between the central portions in the width direction of the adjacent conductors. For example, the pitch P1 of the cable I is 0.5 mm, and the pitch P2 of the cables II and III is 1 mm.
In the illustrated example, when the line width (the length in the left-right direction in FIG. 8), which is the width of each conductive wire itself of each cable I, II, III, is viewed, the line width of the cable I is the cable II, III. The line width of the cable I is equal to the line width of the cables II and III, or the line width of the cable I is larger than the line width of the cables II and III. Also good.

FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating an arrangement example of signal transmission paths in the cable bundle illustrated in FIG. 8.
Each signal shown in FIG. 9 is an example of a signal supplied to the movable accessory 115 described with reference to FIGS. 5 (a) and 5 (b). Moreover, in FIG. 9, each conducting wire in the cable bundle is specified by a cable number and a conducting wire code, and a signal transmitted to each conducting wire is described in association with each other. For example, the conductor m of the cable I is denoted as I−m in FIG. 9 and serves as a transmission path for the signal CDR +. Here, GND is a ground (ground) line.

  Referring to a signal transmitted for each cable, in cable I, motor driving control signals for operating the components of the movable accessory 115 are BGPH1 (Ib), BGPH2 (Ic), BGEN1 (Id). ), BGEN2 (I-e), ICLK (I-h) and IDAT (I-j) which are lighting control signals of the illumination lamp 115b, and information indicating the state of the parts are fed back to the lamp control unit 320. BGSW (I-i), which is a switch signal for notifying the camera, and CDR + (I-m) and CDR- (In), which are video signals for displaying an image on the sub-image display unit 114b, are transmitted. Is done. Then, seven conductors a, f, g, k, l, o, and p are set as ground lines (GND).

  Next, in the cable II, eight of the conducting wires a to h are used as power supply lines. In the illustrated example, three 35V power supply lines (II-ac), three 15V power supply lines (II-df), and two 5V power supply lines (II- g, h) are set.

  Next, in the cable III, KTA (III-a), KT / A (III-b), KTB (III-c), KT which are drive control signals of the motor for operating the accessory body 115a in the movable accessory 115. / B (III-d) and KTSW1 (III-f) and KTSW2 (III-g), which are switch signals for feeding back the information indicating the state of the accessory body 115a and notifying the lamp controller 320, Is transmitted. The conducting wire e is a 5V power supply line, and the conducting wire h is set as a ground wire (GND).

  As a method for transmitting video signals CDR + and CDR− for displaying an image on the sub-image display unit 114b, for example, an unbalanced transmission method that is a transmission method using a potential difference between one line and a ground line, There is a balanced transmission method which is a transmission method using a potential difference between a pair of signal lines. In the balanced transmission method, even when the influence of noise is applied from the outside, both the potentials of the pair of signal lines change, so that the influence of the potential difference between the pair of signal lines is limited. That is, a signal transmitted by the balanced transmission method is not easily affected by noise. Therefore, in the present embodiment, video signals CDR + and CDR− for displaying an image on the sub-image display unit 114b are transmitted using a balanced transmission method.

  In addition, since the current flowing through the transmission path is small, the amount of fluctuation of the video signal and the lighting control signal of the electric lamp 115b is small. If there is a conducting wire through which a large current flows in close proximity to these signal transmission paths or a signal transmission path with a large amount of fluctuation in current, distortion is likely to occur due to those influences. Such a signal that is highly likely to be influenced by other signals is referred to as a “weak signal”. Here, among the above signals, the lighting control signals ICLK and IDAT of the electric lamp 115b only control the lighting of the electric lamp 115b. Therefore, even if noise or the like occurs due to the influence of other signals, The effect is not so noticeable. On the other hand, since the video signals CDR + and CDR− are for displaying an image, if noise or the like is generated due to the influence of other signals, the image quality of the displayed image is degraded, and the influence of the generated noise or the like is conspicuous. . Therefore, these signals CDR + and CDR− are called “particularly weak signals”.

  On the other hand, among the above signals, the motor drive control signal has a large fluctuation amount of the current flowing through the transmission path. For this reason, a signal passing through another transmission path close to the transmission path of the drive control signal of the motor is easily distorted due to the influence of current fluctuation in the drive control signal. Such a signal having a high possibility of affecting other signals is referred to as a “strong signal”. Here, among the above drive control signals, KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B use a conducting wire (III-a to d) having a large line width as a transmission line, and a current flowing through this transmission line. It is also big. For this reason, the possibility of affecting other signals is particularly high. Therefore, these signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B are called “particularly strong signals”.

  Further, since the switch signal is a single signal for notifying the state of the component of the movable accessory 115 and the state of the accessory main body 115a, the influence from other signals is small. In addition, since the amount of current flowing through the transmission line and its fluctuation amount are small, the influence on the signals flowing through other transmission lines is small.

In addition, a large current flows through the transmission line in the power supply line, but the amount of fluctuation of the current is not so large as in a control signal or the like and is stable. Therefore, the influence of the power supply line on the signal flowing through the other transmission path is small. In addition, since the power supply line does not transmit a signal, the influence from other signals is small.
Further, since the ground line does not transmit a signal or current for supplying power, it does not affect other signals and is not affected by other signals.

[Signal transmission path arrangement conditions]
In the present embodiment, in view of the above points, in a wiring using a cable bundle in which a plurality of flexible flat cables 170 are stacked, a video signal transmission path for displaying an image on the sub-image display unit 114b is a line. The cable I is provided with a narrower interval. More specifically, by using two pairs of adjacent conductors in the cable I as the transmission path of the video signal, for example, a pair of conductors can be arranged closer to each other than in the case of being arranged in the cable III. Is possible.

  In the present embodiment, the signal transmission path is arranged so as to protect the weak signal from the influence of other signals (particularly strong signals). Specifically, in each flexible flat cable 170, a strong signal transmission path and a weak signal transmission path are arranged so as not to be adjacent to each other, and the plurality of flexible flat cables 170 are overlapped (in corresponding positions). Arrangement is made so that a strong signal transmission line and a weak signal transmission line are not adjacent to each other even in the conducting wire. In addition, for a weak signal, such as a video signal, a signal transmission path that is easily affected by noise or the like is not used as a signal transmission path, but a ground line is disposed.

  Further, when a cable bundle is formed by stacking three or more flexible flat cables 170, the above-described strong signal transmission path and weak signal transmission path are not arranged in the adjacent flexible flat cable 170. In other words, another flexible flat cable 170 is sandwiched between the flexible flat cable 170 on which a strong signal transmission line is arranged and the flexible flat cable 170 on which a weak signal transmission line is arranged.

[Specific example of signal transmission line arrangement]
FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state in which the conductors of the cable bundle illustrated in FIG. 8 are distinguished based on the arrangement of the signal transmission paths illustrated in FIG. 9.
In FIG. 10, the conducting wire used as the signal transmission path is shown in white, the conducting wire used as the power supply line is shaded, and the ground wire is shown in black. Referring to FIG. 10, the video signals CDR + and CDR− which are weak signals and the lighting control signals ICLK and IDAT of the illumination lamp 115b, and the motor drive control signals KTA, KT / A, KTB and KT / B which are strong signals. And BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2 are arranged at separate positions.

Specifically, the signals CDR + and CDR− transmitted using the balanced transmission method are cables I having a narrower line interval and are arranged on the adjacent conductors m and n (see the inside of the ellipse in the figure). ). With this configuration, the disturbance conditions of the conductors m and n that transmit the two signals CDR + and CDR− are approximated, and are less susceptible to noise.
The signals CDR + and CDR− are arranged on the conductors m and n (rightward of the cable I in FIG. 10) in the cable I, whereas the motor drive control signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B are The conductors a to d of the cable III are disposed on the left side of the cable III in FIG. In addition, a cable I in which signals CDR + and CDR− which are particularly weak signals are arranged, and a cable III in which signals KTA, KT / A, KTB and KT / B which are particularly strong signals are arranged are other cables II. It is arranged on the other side. Therefore, the transmission paths of the signals CDR + and CDR− and the transmission paths of the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B are arranged at distant positions in the cable bundle composed of the cable I, the cable II, and the cable III. Yes.

  Further, the motor drive control signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2 are arranged on the same lead wire b to e of the cable I as the video signals CDR + and CDR− (leftward of the cable I in FIG. 10). However, seven conductors (f to l) are interposed between the transmission paths of both signals, and are arranged so that both signals are not adjacent to each other. Therefore, the signals CDR + and CDR− are not easily affected by the signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2.

Moreover, the cable I in which the lighting control signals ICLK and IDAT of the decoration lamp 115b which are weak signals are arranged, and the cable III in which the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB and KT / B which are particularly strong signals are arranged. The other cable II is interposed therebetween. Therefore, the signals ICLK and IDAT are hardly affected by the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B.
Furthermore, the lighting control signals ICLK and IDAT of the electric lamp 115b and the motor drive control signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1 and BGEN2 are arranged in the same cable I, but between the transmission paths of both signals, Two conducting wires (f, g) are interposed, and the two signals are arranged so as not to be adjacent to each other. Therefore, the signals ICLK and IDAT are not easily affected by the signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2.

  Here, the positional relationship between the signals CDR + and CDR− and the signals ICLK and IDAT will be described. These signals are arranged on the same cable I, but two conductors (k, l) are interposed between the transmission paths of both signals, and are arranged so that both signals are not adjacent to each other. . Since these signals are weak signals and do not affect other signals strongly, the motor drive control signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, KT / B, BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2 are separated from each other. There is no need to place them.

  Next, the positional relationship between the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B and the signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2 will be described. Cable II is interposed between cable III on which signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B are arranged and cable I on which signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2 are arranged. Therefore, the transmission paths of the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B are not adjacent to the transmission paths of the signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, and BGEN2. Further, the conductors a to d at positions corresponding to the transmission paths of these signals in the cable II are power supply lines. The power supply line has little influence on other signals and less influence on other signals. Therefore, the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, KT / B and the signals BGPH1, BGPH2, BGEN1, BGEN2 are less likely to affect each other by sandwiching the power supply line.

  Here, paying attention to the transmission lines (III-a to d) of signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B, which are particularly strong signals, all the surrounding conductors (II-a to e and III-e) A power supply line is arranged. As a result, the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B do not easily affect other signals. In order to protect other signals from the influence of the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B, it is most effective to use all the surrounding conductors as ground lines. However, since the number of conducting wires provided in the cable bundle is fixed, if the number of ground wires increases, it may be difficult to arrange other signals and power supply wires, or the conducting wires may be insufficient. Therefore, in the example shown in FIG. 10, the power supply lines that are not easily influenced by other signals and hardly affect other signals are connected to the transmission paths of the signals KTA, KT / A, KTB, and KT / B. Arranged around.

As described above, in the present embodiment, in the wiring using the cable bundle in which a plurality of flexible flat cables 170 are stacked, the line interval between the transmission paths of signals transmitted using the balanced transmission method is narrowed. Therefore, it was prevented from being affected by noise.
Further, by arranging the weak signal transmission line and the strong signal transmission line so as not to be adjacent to each other, the weak signal is prevented from being affected by the strong signal and causing noise and crosstalk.
Further, in order to protect a particularly weak signal such as a video signal from the influence of other signals, a ground line is arranged around the transmission path of the particularly weak signal.
Further, a particularly weak signal transmission path and a particularly strong signal transmission path such as a motor drive control signal are arranged in different flexible flat cables 170, and further between these flexible flat cables 170, Another flexible flat cable 170 was interposed to form a cable bundle.

[Modification]
FIG. 11 is a view showing a modification using one flexible flat cable 170.
In FIG. 7 and the like described above, the use of a cable bundle in which a plurality of (three) flexible flat cables 170 are stacked has been described. However, if the line spacing between the transmission paths of the video signals CDR + and CDR− transmitted using the balanced transmission scheme is narrower than the line spacing of the other transmission paths, for example, as shown in FIG.

Further, four ground lines (Ia, b, e, f) and two power supply lines (Ig to h) are set. Therefore, the CDR + (Ic) and CDR- (Id) transmission lines which are weak signals and the KTA (Ii) and KT / A (Ij) transmission lines which are strong signals are adjacent to each other. And ground lines are arranged around the transmission lines of CDR + (Ic) and CDR- (Id), which are weak signals.

The arrangement of the signal transmission lines shown in FIGS. 9 to 11 is merely an example, and the types and number of signals, the number of cables and conductors, the specific positional relationship of the signal transmission lines, etc. are as described above and illustrated. It is not limited to.
