(Progress of games, progress of production, etc.)
A game medium (game ball) is launched toward the game area by a rotation operation by the player to the hitting operation handle provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(Progress of games controlled by main board 11)
When the game ball that has flowed down the game area passes through the passing gate 41, a normal game (variable display of normal symbols) is started. In addition, when another general game is already running, or when the normal game cannot be started (such as when the start condition is not satisfied), such as during the following opening control, the maximum number of games is limited to 4 Execution is deferred. The held ordinary game is executed when a start condition for starting the ordinary game is satisfied (for example, no other ordinary game is being executed and no release control is being performed). If the game ball passes through the passing gate 41 when the number of reserved maps has reached the upper limit, the number of stored maps is not increased and the passing is invalidated.

  The variable display results that are stopped and displayed in the ordinary game include a symbol per symbol (for example, a common symbol such as “7”) and a common symbol losing symbol (for example, a common symbol such as “−”). . When the symbol per symbol is stopped (derived), the variable display result is “per symbol”. The case where the usual figure losing symbol is stopped (derived) is when the variable display result is “general figure losing”.

  In the case of “per normal”, an opening control (the second start winning opening is opened) is performed in which the movable blade piece of the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is tilted for a predetermined period. The opening control is not performed in the case of “ordinary loss”.

  When the game ball flowing down the game area enters the first start winning opening formed in the normal winning ball apparatus 6A, the first special game is started. Further, when the game ball enters the second start winning opening formed in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B, the second special game is started. When the special figure game cannot be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as when another special figure game is already being executed or the game is controlled to the big hit game state described later, each of the four special figure games is four. Execution of the special figure game is suspended with the above as an upper limit. The reserved special figure game is executed when a start condition capable of starting the special figure game is satisfied (other special figure games are not executed and are not in the big hit gaming state, etc.).

  When the game ball enters the first start winning opening when the first special figure reserved memory number reaches the upper limit value, the first special figure reserved memory number does not increase and the entry is invalidated ( There may be a prize ball). When the game ball enters the second start winning opening when the second special figure reserved memory number reaches the upper limit value, the second special figure reserved memory number does not increase and the entry is invalidated ( There may be a prize ball).

  The entry (winning) of a game ball that increases the number of first special figure reserved memories into the first starting winning opening is also referred to as a first starting winning. The entry (winning) of the game ball that increases the second special figure reserved memory number into the second starting winning opening is also referred to as a second starting winning. These winnings are collectively referred to simply as starting winnings.

  The variable display results stopped and displayed in the special figure game include a jackpot symbol (for example, a special symbol such as “3” and “7”) and a lost symbol (for example, a special symbol such as “−”). . When the jackpot symbol is stopped (displayed), the variable display result is “big jackpot”. The lost symbol is stopped (derived) when the variable display result is “lost”.

  When the variable display result of the first special figure game or the second special figure game is “big hit” (specific display result), the big hit gaming state is controlled as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. When the variable display result is “losing”, it is not controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  In the big hit gaming state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 is in an open state. The open state is until the earlier timing of an elapse timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or a timing until the number of game balls that have entered the winning prize opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). Will continue. Such an open state is called a round game (also simply called “round”). In the big hit game state, the round game is repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, “15 times”) is reached (in the period other than the round game, the big prize opening is closed).

  In the “big hit”, the big hit types “non-probability change” and “probability change” are set. When the big hit type is “non-probable change”, the big hit symbol “3” is stopped and displayed. When the big hit type is “probability change”, the big hit symbol of “7” is stopped and displayed.

  The “big hit” when the big hit type is “probable change” may be called “probable big hit”, and the “big hit” when the big hit type is “non-probable change” may be called “non-probable big hit”. In addition, the big hit gaming state based on “probability big hit” may be referred to as “probability big hit gaming state”. Further, the big hit gaming state based on the “non-probable big hit game” may be referred to as “non-probable big hit game state”.

  After the probable big hit game state is finished, the probability that the variable display result is “big hit” (big hit probability) is controlled to be a probable state in which the probability is higher than the normal state. The probability variation state continues until the next jackpot gaming state is started.

  After the probable big hit game state or the non-probable big hit game state ends, the average variable display time (variable display period) is controlled to be short when the normal state is shorter than the normal state. In the short-time state, one of the end conditions is established first, that is, the predetermined number of times (in this embodiment, 100 times) the special game is executed and the next big hit game state is started. Continue until you do.

  In the short-time state, the normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened and closed in an advantageous change mode in which the game ball is likely to enter the second start winning opening as compared to the non-short-time state that is not in the short-time state such as the normal state. It may be changed. For example, the control to make the change time of the normal symbol in the normal game (the variable display period of the normal figure, also referred to as the normal change time) shorter than in the normal state, or variable display in each normal game What is necessary is just to change the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B between the open state and the closed state in an advantageous change mode by controlling the probability that the result is “per hit” as compared with the normal state. Such control is referred to as high opening control (also referred to as “time reduction control” or “high base control”). By controlling in such a short time state, the time required until the next variable display result becomes “big hit” is shortened, and the gaming state becomes more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

  The normal state is an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a gaming state other than a state advantageous for a player such as a short-time state, a probability variation state, etc. The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability of “winning” and the probability that the variable display result in the special game is “big hit” is the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed) The state is controlled in the same manner as when a predetermined return process is not executed after the input.

  The short time state is also referred to as “high base”, and the gaming state that is not in the short time state is also referred to as “low base” or “non-short time state”. The probability variation state is also referred to as “high probability”, and the gaming state that is not the probability variation state is also referred to as “low probability”, “non-probability variation”, or the like.

(Progress of game controlled by production control board 12)
In the “left”, “middle”, and “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in the effect display device 5, it corresponds to the start of the first special game or the second special game. Then, variable display of decorative symbols (this is also a kind of effect) is started. At the timing when the variable display result (also referred to as a fixed special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special graphic game or the second special graphic game, the fixed decorative pattern (variable display result) becomes a variable decorative display result (variable display result). A combination of three decorative symbols) is also stopped (derived).

  In the period from the start of the variable display of the decorative design to the end thereof, the variable display mode of the decorative design may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode refers to a decorative design that has not been stopped yet when the decorative symbols that are stopped and displayed on the screen of the effect display device 5 constitute a part of the jackpot combination described later (“reach variation”). "Design" is also a display mode in which fluctuation continues.

  In this embodiment, the reach effect is executed in response to the reach mode during the variable display. As reach production, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B having different production modes are prepared. In this embodiment, the jackpot expectation is higher in the order of super reach B> super reach A> normal reach.

  The big hit expectation is, for example, the ratio at which the variable display result of the special figure game is “big hit”, and is also the ratio at which the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is “big hit”.

  When the variable display result of the special game is “hit”, a definite decorative symbol that is a predetermined jackpot combination is derived and displayed on the screen of the effect display device 5 as a display result of variable display of the decorative symbol. (The display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is “big hit”). As an example, the same decorative pattern (for example, “7” for probability variation big hit, non-probable big hit, on the predetermined effective line in the “left”, “middle”, “right” decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R. "6" etc.) are all displayed at the same time.

  When the variable display result is “losing”, the fixed display pattern of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern, instead of the variable display mode of the decorative pattern. There is. In addition, when the variable display result is “losing”, after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, the predetermined reach combination (“reach loss combination”) that is not a big hit combination is displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern. ”) May be stopped and displayed.

  When the super reach is performed, an effect using the effect device 200 is executed (details will be described later).

(Director 200)
Next, details of the rendering device 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the direction in which the player is located is the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the opposite direction is the rear (see FIG. 4 and the like). Further, the vertical and horizontal directions as viewed from the player located in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 are defined as the vertical and horizontal directions of the effect device 200 as they are (see FIGS. 3 and 4). Further, each member constituting the rendering device 200 is made of synthetic resin or metal unless otherwise specified. Further, the attachment of each member may be performed by an appropriate method such as attachment using screws, screws, etc., attachment such as fitting, unless otherwise specified.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the rendering device 200 includes a drive mechanism 210 and a movable body 250. The drive mechanism 210 moves the movable body 250 in the vertical direction. The movable body 250 is decorated with pachinko gaming machine 1 decoration, and the effect can be enhanced by such decoration. The movable body 250 can move upward from the initial position (FIG. 3A) and advance to the advance position (FIG. 3B) by the drive mechanism 210 (return from the advance position to the initial position). Can also). At the initial position of the movable body 250, most of the movable body 250 is located behind a transparent resin cover (not shown) (attached to the game board 2 or the like). It is visually recognized through. On the other hand, the movable body 250 advances to the front of the effect display device 5 by moving to the advance position, and is visually recognized without the resin cover. The game board 2 may be transparent, and the movable body 250 may be positioned behind the game board 2 at least at an initial position and visually recognized via the game board 2.

(Structure etc. of drive mechanism 210)
First, the drive mechanism 210 will be described with reference to FIGS. The drive mechanism 210 includes a base body 211, a drive motor mounting member 213, a drive motor 215, first to sixth gears 217 to 222, a detection sensor 223, a rotating arm 225, a slide member 227, an elastic body 229, and the like (particularly). , See FIG.

  The base body 211 is a base of the drive mechanism 210 and supports various components. The base body 211 is fixed to the game board 2 or the like of the pachinko gaming machine 1. A cover body CV (shown only in FIG. 3) that covers the drive motor 215 from the front and hides it from the player is attached to the base body 211. The base body 211 includes supports 211A to 211F, a concave rail 211J, a guide hole 211K, and a hooking portion 211L.

  The supports 211A to 211F are made of a boss or the like that protrudes forward (may be a cylindrical shape; hereinafter, the same applies to the columnar shape). The second to seventh gears 218 to 222 are rotatably supported on the supports 211A to 211E, respectively. Each gear has a through hole at the center thereof, and is rotatably supported by inserting a support body into the through hole. Each gear can rotate with the central axis of each support as a rotation axis. The support body 211F rotatably supports a rotating arm 225 (described in detail later).

  The concave rail 211J is a rail having a U-shaped cross section (a vertical line is a bottom surface) and extends in the vertical direction. A rack 251 provided in the movable body 250 is fitted to the concave rail 211J so as to be slidable up and down. The concave rail 211J guides the direction of movement of the rack 251 (that is, movement of the movable body 250) in the vertical direction.

  The guide hole 211K is a through hole extending in the vertical direction, and is provided in a portion to which the slide member 227 is attached. The slide member 227 is provided with a protrusion (not shown) extending rearward, and the protrusion is inserted into the guide hole 211K. A retaining member (not shown) larger than the width of the guide hole 211K (the length in the left-right direction) is attached to the rear end of the protrusion. Accordingly, the slide member 227 is attached to the base body 211 so as not to move forward (does not come off the base body 211) and to be movable in the vertical direction (guided by the guide hole 211K).

  The hook portion 211L is a protrusion having a notch, and one end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the notch.

  The drive motor 215 is attached to the base body 211 via the drive motor attachment member 213. The drive motor 215 has a rotation shaft 215A. Here, the drive motor 215 is a stepping motor, and its operation is controlled by the effect control board 12 (FIG. 2). The drive motor 215 rotates the rotation shaft 215A (FIG. 5) by a predetermined angle in synchronization with a control signal (here, a drive pulse) from the effect control board 12. A first gear 217 is fitted to the rotation shaft 215A. Accordingly, the first gear 217 rotates together with the rotation shaft 215A. The first gear 217 is in mesh with the second gear 218.

  The third gear 219 includes a cylindrical columnar part 219A in which a part of the interior is hollowed out, and an external gear 219B disposed behind the cylindrical part 219A. The external gear 219B meshes with the second gear 218. The third gear 221 includes a detection piece 219C having an arcuate outer edge that protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 219A, and a cylindrical protrusion that protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 219A and further protrudes rearward. 219D.

  The detection piece 219 </ b> C rotates with the third gear 219 and is detected by a detection sensor 223 attached to the base body 211. The detection sensor 223 is, for example, a photo sensor (such as a sensor that detects that the space between the light receiving unit and the light emitting unit is shielded by the detection target), and detection that indicates that the detection piece 219C has been detected. Output a signal. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the movable body 250 moves to the advanced position in conjunction with the rotation of the third gear 219. The detection piece 219C is disposed at a position detected by the detection sensor 223 when the rotation gear rotates until the movable body 250 is positioned at the advanced position.

  The fourth gear 220 has a shape in which a small-diameter first gear (not shown) and a large-diameter second gear are stacked with a common rotation axis. The first gear is located behind the second gear and meshes with the fifth gear 221. The second gear meshes with the teeth of the rack 251 provided in the movable body 250. The fifth gear 221 and the sixth gear 222 are meshed with linear teeth 227A included in the slide member 227.

  The rotating arm 225 has a fan shape. The rotary arm 225 includes a long hole 225A into which the cylindrical protrusion 252A provided in the movable body 250 is inserted, a long hole 225B into which the protrusion 219D is inserted, and a through hole 225C into which the support body 211F is inserted. Prepare. The through hole 225 </ b> C is located at the center of a circle that forms a fan having the shape of the rotary arm 225. The rotation arm 225 is attached to the base body 211 so as to be rotatable about the central axis of the support body 211C as a rotation axis. The long hole 225A is disposed on the first hypotenuse (the side constituted by the radius of the circle) of the fan, and is long in the direction in which the first hypotenuse extends. The long hole 225 </ b> B is disposed on the second hypotenuse of the fan and is long in the direction in which the second hypotenuse extends. The width (length in the short direction) of the long hole 225A is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusion 252A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The width of the long hole 225B is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusion 219D (the diameter is slightly shorter).

  The slide member 227 includes linear teeth 227A (extending in the vertical direction) that mesh with the fifth gear 221 and the sixth gear 222, and functions as a rack having the fifth gear 221 and the sixth gear 222 as pinions. In addition, the slide member 227 includes a hook portion 227B having a notch at a lower portion (below the hook portion 227B of the slide member 227), and the other end of the elastic body 229 is hooked. As described above, the slide member 227 can move (slide) in the vertical direction with respect to the base body 211. As described above, the fifth gear 221 meshes with the fourth gear 220 and the teeth 227A of the slide member 227, and the fourth gear 220 (pinion) meshes with the teeth of the rack 251 included in the movable body 250. ing. Therefore, the slide member 227 is interlocked with the movable body 250. Specifically, when the slide member 227 moves upward, the movable body 250 also moves upward (see FIG. 3 and the like). The sixth gear 222 guides the slide member 227 so that the slide member 227 does not tilt.

  The elastic body 229 includes a coil spring, rubber, and the like. One end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the hook portion 211L of the base body 211, and the other end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the hook portion 227B of the slide member 227. And the elastic body 229 will be in the extended state, when the slide member 227 is located in the lowest position (at the time of FIG. 3 (A) or the state of FIGS. 5-4). That is, the slide member 227 is biased upward by the elastic force of the elastic body 229 (receives an upward force). Since the slide member 227 and the movable body 250 are interlocked as described above, the movable body 250 is also biased upward by the elastic force of the elastic body 229. That is, the elastic body 229 assists the upward movement of the movable body 250.

(Operation of the drive mechanism 210, etc.)
When the drive motor 215 rotates the rotation shaft 215A in the normal direction (left rotation), the first gear 217 also rotates in the normal direction. Since the second gear 218 is engaged with the first gear 217 and the second gear 218 is engaged with the third gear 219, the rotation of the rotation shaft 215A causes the second gear 218 to rotate in the reverse direction (right rotation). ) And the third gear 219 rotates forward. Due to the forward rotation of the third gear 219, the protrusion 219D also moves while drawing an arc. The protrusion 219D pushes the inner wall of the long hole 225B as it moves. Thereby, the rotating arm 225 rotates upward (counterclockwise) around the support body 211F. By the rotation of the rotary arm 225, the protrusion 252A included in the movable body 250 inserted in the long hole 225A is moved upward. Thereby, the movable body 250 moves upward (advance position). When the drive motor 215 rotates the rotating shaft 215A in the reverse direction, the movable body 250 moves downward (initial position) (the rotation direction of each gear may be considered as the reverse direction). Thus, the drive mechanism 210 converts the rotational force of the drive motor 215 into a drive force that moves the movable body 250 in the vertical direction. As described above, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. Further, the elastic body 229 becomes a resistance against the movable body 250 moving downward. Thereby, the load on the drive motor 215 due to the weight of the movable body 250 can be reduced, and the movable body 250 can move smoothly in the vertical direction.

  When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off, the movable body 250 may be stopped at the advanced position. Thereby, the period in which the elastic body 229 is extended can be shortened, and the elastic force of the elastic body can be reduced from becoming weaker as time elapses.

  The movable body 250 is moved in the vertical direction under the control of the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120). Specifically, when moving the movable body 250 from the initial position to the advanced position, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 215 to rotate the rotating shaft 215A and detects the detection piece 219C by the detection sensor 223. When the detection signal is received from the detection sensor 223 or when the detection signal is received for a certain period, that is, when the movable body 250 moves to the advanced position, the rotation of the rotating shaft 215A is stopped. Thereby, the movable body 250 can be stopped at the advance position. When the movable body 250 is returned from the advanced position to the initial position, the drive motor 215 has the same rotation angle as that when the movable body 250 is moved from the initial position to the advanced position (for example, the information is held in the RAM 122). The rotating shaft 215A is reversely rotated. For example, the number of supplied drive pulses is counted, and the same number of drive pulses is supplied during reverse rotation, whereby the rotary shaft 215A is reversely rotated. A detection sensor (the same sensor as the detection sensor 223, for example, a photo sensor) is provided corresponding to the position of the detection piece 219C when the movable body 250 is in the initial position, and the detection piece 219C is attached by the detection sensor. When detected, the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 215A may be stopped.

(Structure of movable body 250, etc.)
Next, the detailed structure of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIGS. The movable body 250 includes a heart-shaped decorative body 269 and a member representing a LOVE character provided in front of the movable body 250, and the decorative body 269 is deformed or each LOVE character moves, Perform a highly effective performance.

  The movable body 250 includes a rack 251, a plate-like member 252, a substrate 253, a base body 255, an LED substrate 256, a drive motor 257, a detection sensor 259, first to third gears 261 to 263, First to second slide members 265 to 266, first to second mounting members 267 to 268, a decorative body 269, a predetermined mechanism X (a member that forms “LOVE” and a mechanism that moves each character of “LOVE”) And).

(Configuration other than the predetermined mechanism X in the movable body 250)
First, a configuration other than the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The rack 251 has teeth extending in the vertical direction that mesh with the fourth gear 220 (FIG. 5 and the like). As can be seen from the above, the rack 251 is urged upward by the elastic body 229 (FIG. 5 and the like) via the fourth gear 220 and the like.

  The plate member 252 is formed integrally with the rack 251. The plate-like member 252 has a columnar protrusion 252A that protrudes rearward from the plate-like main body.

  The board 253 is a circuit board that has a predetermined circuit and is electrically connected to the effect control board 12. The board 253 relays control signals supplied from the effect control board 12 to the drive motor 257, the drive motor 273 described later, the LED board 275 described later, and the like, and the effect control is performed from the detection sensor 259 described later and the detection sensor S described later. The detection signal supplied to the substrate 12 is relayed. The substrate 253 is attached to the rear surface of the base body 255. The substrate 253 has a through hole and a notch, and the plate-like member 252 is attached to the rear surface of the base body 255 with a screw, a screw or the like through the through hole or the notch. As a result, the rack 251 is also attached to the base body 255.

  The base body 255 serves as a base for the movable body 250 and supports various components on the front surface and the rear surface. The base body 255 includes rack portions 255A and 255B extending in the left-right direction on the front surface (these are used in the predetermined mechanism X).

The base body 255 includes protrusions 255I to 255L made of a cylindrical boss or the like that protrudes forward from the periphery (front surface or the like) (these are used in the predetermined mechanism X). The base body 255 also includes a fixing portion 255J to which a detection sensor (not shown) (referred to as a detection sensor S for explanation) is fixed. The detection sensor S detects a detection piece 266D of a second slide member 266, which will be described later, and may be a photo sensor or the like, similar to the detection sensor 223. In addition, an LED substrate 256 is inserted into the upper portion of the base body 255, and a plurality of insertion portions 255M for fixing the LED substrate 256 are formed.

  The LED substrate 256 is held on the curved upper surface of the base body 255 by the insertion portion 255M and the insertion portion 271C (see FIG. 8). The substrate body 256B of the LED substrate 256 has a curved shape in accordance with the shape of the base body 255. The LED board 256 is electrically connected to the board 253, and various circuits, LEDs 256A for emitting light, and connectors 256C are mounted on the board body 256B. A light source other than the LED 256A may be employed as the light source. The LED board 256 causes the LED 256 </ b> A to emit light based on a control signal from the effect control board 12 relayed by the board 253. The upper part of the decorative body 269 is illuminated by the light emission of the LED 256A. Since the decorative body 269 can transmit light, the upper part appears to emit light by the light from the LED 256A. Details of the LED substrate 256 will be described later.

  The drive motor 257 is attached to the front surface of the base body 255. The rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 passes through a through hole provided in the base body 255 and extends to the rear of the base body 255. The drive motor 257 is operated by a control signal (such as a drive pulse) from the effect control board 12.

  The detection sensor 259 is attached to the front surface of the base body 255. The detection target of the detection sensor 259 will be described later (used in the predetermined mechanism X). The detection sensor 259 may be a photo sensor or the like, similar to the detection sensor 223.

  The first gear 261 is fitted to the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 and rotates together with the rotation shaft 257A. The first gear 261 meshes with the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 arranged on the left and right sides of the first gear 261. The second gear 262 is rotatably supported by the base body 255 by inserting a protrusion 255C into a through hole formed at the center thereof. The third gear 263 is rotatably supported by the base body 255 by inserting a protrusion 255D into a through hole formed at the center thereof. Each gear can rotate with the central axis of each protrusion as a rotation axis. The second gear 262 includes a columnar protrusion 262A that protrudes rearward. The third gear 263 includes a columnar protrusion 263A protruding rearward.

  The first slide member 265 includes a long hole 265A elongated in the vertical direction at the right end and a long hole 265B elongated in the horizontal direction at the center. A protrusion 262A is inserted into the long hole 265A. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the long hole 265A is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusion 262A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusion 262A can move in the long hole 265A. Projections 255E and 255F arranged in the left-right direction as an example are inserted into the long holes 265B. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long hole 265B is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusions 255E and 255F (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusions 255E and 255F can move in the long hole 265B. The protrusions 255E and 255F restrict the first slide member 265 from moving in directions other than the left-right direction. The first slide member 265 has two small holes 265C at the left end.

  The second slide member 266 includes a long hole 266A elongated in the vertical direction at the left end portion and a long hole 266B elongated in the horizontal direction at the center. A protrusion 263A is inserted into the long hole 266A. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the long hole 266A is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusion 263A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusion 263A can move in the long hole 266A. In the long hole 266B, protrusions 255G and 255H arranged in one example in the left-right direction are inserted. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long hole 266B is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusions 255G and 255H (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusions 255G and 255H can move in the long hole 266B. The protrusions 255G and 255H restrict the second slide member 266 from moving in directions other than the left-right direction. The second slide member 266 has two small holes 266C at the right end.

  The second slide member 266 includes a detection piece 266D detected by the detection sensor S. The detection piece 266D is disposed at a position that is detected by the detection sensor S when the second slide member 266 is in the initial position (when a decorative body that will be described later is not deformed, as shown in FIG. 12A). . When detecting the detection piece 266D, the detection sensor S supplies a detection signal indicating that to the effect control board 12.

  The first attachment member 267 is disposed inside the decorative body 269 (details will be described later). The first mounting member 267 has two small-diameter bars 267A that protrude rearward. The two small-diameter bars 267A are respectively fitted into the two small holes 265C of the first slide member 265 through the two small holes 269F provided in the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269. Accordingly, the first attachment member 267 is attached to the left end portion of the first slide member 265 with the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269 interposed therebetween. The first attachment member 267 has a through hole 267B extending in the left-right direction.

The first mounting member 267 is a part of the decorative body 269). Visible from outside). Accordingly, the through hole 267B is disposed inside the through hole 269A.

  The second attachment member 268 is disposed inside the decorative body 269 (details will be described later). The second mounting member 268 has two small-diameter bars 268A protruding rearward. The two small diameter bars 268A pass through the two small holes 269G provided in the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269, respectively, and are fitted into the two small holes 266C of the second slide member 266, respectively. Accordingly, the second attachment member 268 is attached to the right end portion of the second slide member 266 with the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269 interposed therebetween. The second mounting member 268 has a through hole 268B extending in the left-right direction. Of the second mounting member 268, the portion where the through hole 268 </ b> B is formed has a shape that enters the through hole 269 </ b> D of the decorative body 269 (see also FIG. 8 and the like. The second mounting member 268 is a part of the decorative body 269. Visible from outside). Accordingly, the through hole 268B is disposed inside the through hole 269D.

  The decorative body 269 has a heart shape that swells in the forward direction, and is a member that can transmit light. The decorative body 269 is given a predetermined decoration. The decorative body 269 is made of, for example, natural rubber or various synthetic rubbers including silicone rubber, and can be elastically deformed. The decorative body 269 is provided with through-holes 269A and 269D on its side and through-holes 269B and 269C on the front. The end portions of the first mounting member 267 and the second mounting member 268 enter the through holes 269A and 269D, respectively. The decorative body 269 has a protruding portion 269E that protrudes inward from the rear end of the side portion. The projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269 is provided with two small holes 269F and two small holes 269G, and a small-diameter bar 267A of the first mounting member 267 (two small holes 265C of the first slide member 265). And a small-diameter bar 268A of the second mounting member 268 (which is fitted into the two small holes 266C of the second slide member 266). Therefore, the decorative body 269 is connected to the first attachment member 267 and the first slide member 265 at the left end portion provided with the small hole 269F, and the second attachment member 268 at the right end portion provided with the small hole 269G. And the second slide member 266. Further, a substantially triangular cutout 269H and a cutout 269I are formed on the upper portion of the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a force that compresses the decorative body 269 from the left-right direction is applied, the notch 269H and the notch 269I close the notched portion. Thereby, the decorative body 269 is easily deformed by the compressive force from the left-right direction. The decorative body 269 houses the base body 255 and the like therein. Therefore, the size of the configuration for operating the movable body 250 is made compact.

(Operation for deforming the decorative body 269)
When the drive motor 257 rotates the rotation shaft 257A in the normal direction (right rotation), the first gear 261 also rotates in the normal direction. The first gear 261 is engaged with the second gear 262 and the third gear 263, and the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 are rotated in the reverse direction (left rotation) when the rotation shaft 257A is rotated forward. Here, the protrusion 262A of the second gear 262 is provided on the upper part of the second gear 262, while the protrusion 263A of the second gear 263 is provided on the lower part of the second gear 263. ing. Therefore, when the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 rotate in the reverse direction, the protrusion 262A moves to the left and the protrusion 263A moves to the right. In other words, the protrusions 262A and the protrusions 263A move in directions away from each other because the protrusions 262A and the protrusions 263A are at target positions with respect to the rotation axis of each gear. The protrusion 262A that moves to the left pushes the inner wall of the elongated hole 265A of the first slide member 265, and slides the first slide member 265 to the left (the first attachment member 267 also moves together). The protrusion 263A that moves to the right pushes the inner wall of the long hole 266A of the second slide member 266, and slides the second slide member 266 to the right (the second attachment member 268 also moves together). As described above, the first slide member 265 (and the first attachment member 267) and the second slide member 266 (and the second attachment member 268) move in the direction away from each other along the left-right direction.

  When the drive motor 257 rotates the rotating shaft 257A in the reverse direction, the operation in the reverse direction is performed, and the first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 are the same. Move in a direction approaching each other along the left-right direction.

  Since the first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267 are connected in a state where the left end portion of the decorative body 269 is sandwiched, the left end portion also moves left and right along with the left and right movements. Since the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 are connected in a state where the right end portion of the decorative body 269 is sandwiched, the right end portion also moves left and right along with the left and right movement thereof. Therefore, when the drive motor 257 rotates the rotating shaft 257A in the normal direction, the decorative body 269 is elastically deformed so as to be pulled from both the left and right sides (see the left side in FIG. 12B), and the rotating shaft 257A rotates in the reverse direction. Then, the decorative body 269 is elastically deformed as if pressed from both the left and right sides (see the left side of FIG. 12C in particular). As described above, a substantially triangular cutout 269H and a cutout 269I are formed on the upper portion of the overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269. Accordingly, when the decorative body 269 is pressed from both the left and right sides and is compressed, the notch formed in a substantially triangular shape is closed, and the decorative body 269 is easily deformed.

  As described above, the drive motor 257 is controlled by the effect control board 12. The effect control board 12 repeats rotating the rotating shaft 257A forward and rotating backward by supplying a control signal to the drive motor 257. Then, the decorative body 269 repeats elastic deformation so as to be pulled left and right and elastic deformation so as to be pushed from the left and right. Thereby, the heart-shaped decorative body 269 looks like a heart (see FIGS. 12 and 16). Note that the effect control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is in the initial position (that is, the decorative body 269 is in the initial state (the state shown in FIG. 12A)) by the detection sensor S. The effect control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is in the initial position when the detection signal from the detection sensor S is received (or when it is received over a predetermined period). A detection sensor is provided at the position of the detection piece 266D when the second slide member 266 is at the position shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, and the movable body 250 is brought into the state shown in FIGS. It may be detected that the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 is controlled based on this detection.

(Structure of the predetermined mechanism X)
Next, the detailed structure of the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS. The predetermined mechanism X includes a cover body 271, a drive motor 273, an LED board 275, a cover body 277, first to fourth character members 281 to 284, and a driving force transmission mechanism X1 (see FIG. 8). ).

  The cover body 271 covers the base body 255 from the front by being attached to the base body 255 to which the driving force transmission mechanism X1 and the like are attached. The cover body 271 has through holes 271A to 271B (these applications will be described later). Further, the LED board 256 is inserted into the upper portion of the cover body 271, and a plurality of insertion portions 271 </ b> C for fixing the LED board 256 are formed.

  The drive motor 273 is attached to the front surface of the cover body 271. The rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 passes through a through hole provided in the cover body 271 and extends behind the cover body 271. The drive motor 273 is operated by a control signal (such as a drive pulse) from the effect control board 12.

  The LED substrate 275 is electrically connected to the substrate 253. The LED substrate 275 is mounted with various circuits and an LED 275A that emits light forward (decorative body 269). A light source other than the LED 275A may be used. The LED board 275 causes the LED 275A to emit light based on a control signal from the effect control board 12 relayed by the board 253. The decorative body 269 is illuminated by light emission of the LED 275A (irradiation of light from the LED 275A). Since the decorative body 269 can transmit light, it appears to emit light by such illumination. The LED substrate 275 has a large cutout 275B that extends from the top to the center. Note that the manner of light emission appears to change due to the elastic deformation of the decorative body 269. This point will be described later.

  The cover body 277 has through-holes 277A and 277B (these applications will be described later). The cover body 277 covers the front of the LED board 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the drive motor 273, and is interposed between these and the decorative body 269. The cover body 277 covers the upper part of the LED substrate 256. Since the cover body 277 is made of a light-transmitting synthetic resin, the light from the LED 275A mounted on the LED board 275 passes through the cover body 277 and illuminates the front surface of the decorative body 269. Further, the light from the LED 256 </ b> A mounted on the LED substrate 256 passes through the cover body 277 and illuminates the upper portion of the decorative body 269. The cover body 277 prevents the decorative body 269 from contacting the LED board 256, the LED board 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the drive motor 273. Thereby, the heat generated from these electronic components is transmitted to the decorative body 269, and the decorative body 269 can be prevented from being damaged. Furthermore, the contact between the electronic component and the decorative body 269 is prevented, and the electronic component is prevented from being damaged. The cover body 277 is attached to the cover body 271 via the LED substrate 275. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, by providing a through hole that communicates when the cover body 277 and the LED substrate 275 are overlapped with each other and screwing the cover body 271 through a screw, a screw, or the like, The cover body 277 and the LED substrate 275 are attached to the cover body 271. In addition, at the time of this attachment, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6) and the drive motor 273 pass through the notch 275B of the LED board 275.

  The first character member 281 is a member expressing a character “L”, the second character member 282 is a member expressing a character “O”, and the third character member 283 is a character “V”. The fourth character member 284 is a member expressing the letter “E”. Each of these members includes fitting rods 281A to 284A (which will be described later).

  The third character member 283 includes an LED substrate 283B, a diffusion plate 283C, and a cover body 283D in addition to the fitting rod 283A (see FIG. 8). The LED substrate 283B is electrically connected to the LED substrate 275 or the substrate 253. The LED substrate 283B is mounted with various circuits and LEDs that emit light forward (may be other light sources). The LED board 283B causes the LED to emit light based on a control signal from the effect control board 12 relayed by the board 253 or the LED board 275. The diffusion plate 283C diffuses light from the LED of the LED substrate 283B (light irradiated from the LED). The cover body 283D is a transparent or translucent member and transmits the light diffused by the diffusion plate 283C. With such a configuration, the third character member 283 can emit light in order to enhance the effect. The first character member 281, the second character member 282, and the fourth character member 284 have the same configuration. Therefore, the first to fourth character members 281 to 284 can emit light individually or simultaneously.

  The driving force transmission mechanism X1 includes rack portions 255A and 255B, and includes first to third pinion gears 291 to 293 and first to fourth rack members 295 to 298.

  The first pinion gear 291 is fitted to the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 and rotates together with the rotation shaft. The second pinion gear 292 is rotatably supported by the first rack member 295. The third pinion gear 293 is rotatably supported by the third rack member 297. The second pinion gear 292 and the third pinion gear 293 have a shape in which a small-diameter first gear (located in the front) and a large-diameter second gear (located in the rear) are stacked with a common rotation axis. The first gear of the second pinion gear 292 meshes with the teeth of the rack portion 255A extending in the left-right direction (see also FIG. 10, FIG. 11, etc.). The first gear of the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the teeth of the rack portion 255B extending in the left-right direction (see also FIG. 10, FIG. 11, etc.). The meshing destination of the second gear of each gear will be described later.

  The first rack member 295 has a shape elongated in the left-right direction, and functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the first pinion gear 291 rotates. The first rack member 295 includes protrusions 295A to 295C, a mounting portion 295D, a detection piece 295E, teeth 295F, and long holes 295I and 295J.

  The protrusions 295A to 295C are formed of a columnar boss protruding backward. The protrusion 295A supports the second pinion gear 292 so as to be rotatable. Specifically, the protrusion 295A is supported by inserting the protrusion 295A into the central through hole of the second pinion gear 292. The second pinion gear 292 can rotate with the central axis of the protrusion 295A as the rotation axis. The protrusions 295 </ b> B to 295 </ b> C are arranged in the left-right direction and are inserted into a long hole 296 </ b> B (described later) of the second rack member 296.

  The attachment portion 295D is formed of a cylindrical boss having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 282A of the second character member 282 is fitted into the fitting hole of the attachment portion 295D. The fitting rod 282A passes through the through hole 269B of the decorative body 269, the through hole 271A of the cover body 271, the through hole 277A of the cover body 277, and the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and is fitted to the mounting portion 295D. As will be described later, the second character member 282 moves in the left-right direction as the first rack member 295 moves. Therefore, the shape of the notch 275B does not hinder the movement of the second character member 282, and the through hole 269B, the through hole 271A, and the through hole 277A prevent the movement of the second character member 282. It is long in the left-right direction to allow.

  The detection piece 295E is a portion protruding upward, and is a detection target by the detection sensor 259. The detection sensor 259 may be the same as the detection sensor 223, for example. When the first rack member 295 is in the initial position (the initial state of the movable body 250) (see FIG. 10), the detection piece 295E is detected (that is, the initial position). That is, the detection sensor 259 detects the initial position of the first rack member 295 (the initial state of the movable body 250).

  The teeth 295F extend in the left-right direction and mesh with the first pinion gear 291 from above.

  The long holes 295I and 295J are long in the left-right direction, and the protrusion 255I is inserted into the long hole 295I, and the protrusion 255J is inserted into the long hole 295J. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long holes 295I and 295J is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 255I and 255J (the diameter is slightly shorter). Accordingly, the first rack member 295 is slidable in the left-right direction, but does not move in the other directions.

  The second rack member 296 has a shape that is long in the left-right direction, and is disposed in front of the first rack member 295. The second rack member 296 functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the second pinion gear 292 rotates as will be described later. The second rack member 296 includes teeth 296A, a long hole 296B, and an attachment portion 296C.

  The teeth 296 </ b> A extend in the left-right direction and mesh with the large-diameter second gear of the second pinion gear 292 from below.

  Projections 295B and 295C arranged in the left-right direction are inserted into the long hole 296B. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long hole 296B is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 295B and 295C (the diameter is slightly shorter). Therefore, the second rack member 296 is slidable in the left-right direction but does not move in the other directions.

  The protrusions 295B and 295C are provided on the left side of the first rack member 295, and the long hole 296B is provided on the right side of the second rack member 296. Accordingly, the left end of the second rack member 296 is located on the left side of the left end of the first rack member 295. The left portion of the second rack member 296 passes through the through hole 267B of the first mounting member 267 (the through hole 269A of the decorative body 269) (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

  The attachment portion 296C is formed of a cylindrical boss having a fitting hole. The fitting hole 281A of the first character member 281 is fitted into the fitting hole. The attachment portion 296C is provided at the left end of the second rack member 296 and is always exposed from the decorative body 269 and the like (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Therefore, unlike the second character member 282, the first character member 281 is fitted and attached to the attachment portion 296C without passing through the through hole or the like.

  The third rack member 297 is substantially L-shaped, and functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the first pinion gear 291 rotates. The third rack member 297 includes protrusions 297A to 297C, a mounting portion 297D, teeth 297F, and long holes 297K and 297L.

  The protrusions 297A to 297C are formed of a columnar boss protruding backward. The protrusion 297A supports the third pinion gear 293 so as to be rotatable. Specifically, the protrusion 297A is supported by inserting the protrusion 297A into the central through hole of the third pinion gear 293. The third pinion gear 293 can rotate with the central axis of the protrusion 297A as the rotation axis. The protrusions 297 </ b> B to 297 </ b> C are arranged in the left-right direction and are inserted into a long hole 298 </ b> B (described later) of the fourth rack member 298.

  The attachment portion 297D is formed of a cylindrical boss having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 283A of the third character member 283 is fitted into the fitting hole of the attachment portion 297D. The fitting rod 283A passes through the through hole 269C of the decorative body 269, the through hole 271B of the cover body 271, the through hole 277B of the cover body 277, and the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and is fitted to the mounting portion 297D. As will be described later, the third character member 283 moves in the left-right direction as the third rack member 297 moves. Therefore, the shape of the notch 275B does not hinder the movement of the third character member 283, and the through hole 269C, the through hole 271B, and the through hole 277B prevent the movement of the third character member 283. It is long in the left-right direction to allow.

  The teeth 297F extend in the left-right direction and mesh with the first pinion gear 291 from the lower side.

  The long holes 297K and 297L are long in the left-right direction, and the protrusion 255K is inserted into the long hole 297K, and the protrusion 255L is inserted into the long hole 295L. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long holes 297K and 297L is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 255K and 255L (the diameter is slightly shorter). Therefore, the third rack member 297 can slide in the left-right direction but does not move in the other directions.

  The fourth rack member 298 has an elongated shape in the left-right direction, and is disposed in front of the third rack member 297. The fourth rack member 298 functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the third pinion gear 293 rotates as will be described later. The fourth rack member 298 includes teeth 298A, a long hole 298B, and an attachment portion 298C.

  The teeth 298 </ b> A extend in the left-right direction and mesh with the large-diameter second gear of the third pinion gear 293 from below.

  Projections 297B and 297C arranged in the left-right direction are inserted into the long hole 298B. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long hole 298B is substantially the same as the diameter of the columnar protrusions 297B and 297C (the diameter is slightly shorter). Accordingly, the fourth rack member 298 is slidable in the left-right direction, but does not move in the other directions.

  The protrusions 297B and 297C are provided on the right side of the third rack member 297, and the long hole 298B is provided on the left side of the fourth rack member 298. Accordingly, the right end of the fourth rack member 298 is located on the right side of the right end of the third rack member 297. The left portion of the fourth rack member 298 passes through the through hole 268B (the through hole 269D of the decorative body 269) of the second mounting member 268 (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

  The attachment portion 298C is formed of a cylindrical boss having a fitting hole. The fitting hole 284A of the fourth character member 284 is fitted into the fitting hole. The attachment portion 298C is provided at the right end of the fourth rack member 298 and is always exposed from the decorative body 269 and the like (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Therefore, unlike the third character member 283, the fourth character member 284 is fitted and attached to the attachment portion 298C without passing through the through hole or the like.

(Operation of the specified mechanism X, etc.)
The operation of the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 (the state in which the first rack member 295 and the second rack member 296 are in the rightmost position and the third rack member 297 and the fourth rack member 298 are in the leftmost position) is the initial state. To do.

  When the drive motor 273 rotates the rotation shaft forward (left rotation) from the initial state of FIG. 10, the first pinion gear 291 fitted to the rotation shaft also rotates forward. By this forward rotation, the first rack member 295 having the teeth 295F meshing with the first pinion gear 291 from above slides to the left, and the third rack member 297 having the teeth 297F meshing with the first pinion gear 291 from below slides to the right. .

  When the first rack member 295 moves to the left, the second pinion gear 292 supported by the protrusion 295A of the first rack member 295 also moves to the left. Since the first gear having a small diameter included in the second pinion gear 292 meshes with the non-movable rack portion 255A from below, the second pinion gear 292 moves to the left while performing reverse rotation (right rotation). The second pinion gear 292 has a large-diameter second gear that meshes with the teeth 296A of the second rack member 296 from above, so that the second rack member 296 also moves to the left by the movement and reverse rotation of the second pinion gear 292. To do. By using the second pinion gear 292, the movement amount of the second rack member 296 is larger than that of the first rack member 295.

  When the third rack member 297 moves to the right, the third pinion gear 293 supported by the protrusion 297A of the third rack member 297 also moves to the right. Since the first gear having a small diameter included in the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the stationary rack portion 255B from below, the third pinion gear 293 moves to the right while rotating forward. Since the second large gear having the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the teeth 298A of the fourth rack member 298 from above, the fourth rack member 298 also moves to the right by the movement and reverse rotation of the third pinion gear 293. To do. Due to the use of the third pinion gear 293, the moving amount of the fourth rack member 298 is larger than that of the third rack member 297.

  The first character member 281 is attached to the leftmost second rack member 296 (attachment portion 296C), and the second character member 282 is attached to the first rack member 295 (attachment portion 295D) from the left. The third character member 283 is attached to the third rack member 297 (attachment portion 297D) third from the left, and the fourth character member 284 is attached to the rightmost fourth rack member 298 (attachment portion 298C). Since each rack member is moved, each character member is also moved.

  FIG. 11 shows a state after the first to fourth rack members 295 to 298 and the first to fourth character members 281 to 284 have moved. The amount of movement of the second rack member 296 (first character member 281) is larger than that of the first rack member 295 (second character member 282). The amount of movement of the fourth rack member 298 (fourth character member 284) is larger than that of the third rack member 297 (third character member 283). Due to such a relationship, in this embodiment, the distance between the members when the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 move increases with the same degree of change (at any timing during the movement). Each member is arranged at substantially equal intervals).

  Note that the second character member 282 and the third character member 283 can move without interfering with the decorative body 269 and the like through the through-hole 269B and the through-hole 269C of the decorative body 269. In addition, since the mounting portion 296C to which the first character member 281 is attached and the attachment portion 298C to which the fourth character member 284 is attached are always outside the decorative body 269, they do not interfere with the decorative body 269 or the like. It is possible to move to. That is, the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 can move independently of the deformation of the decorative body 269.

  In the state shown in FIG. 11, when the drive motor 273 rotates the rotating shaft in the reverse direction, an operation opposite to the operation described above is performed, and the initial state shown in FIG. 10 is restored.

  The drive motor 273 is controlled by the effect control board 12. The effect control board 12 supplies the control signal to the drive motor 273, thereby rotating the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 forward by a predetermined rotation angle, and changing the state of FIG. Change the character spacing (increase the spacing). Further, the effect control board 12 supplies a control signal to the drive motor 273 to reversely rotate the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273, thereby changing the interval of the LOVE character from the state of FIG. 11 to the state of FIG. Reduce the interval). The effect control board 12 detects the detection piece 295E by the detection sensor 259 (when the detection signal is received from the detection sensor 259 or when the detection signal is received for a certain period), that is, each rack such as the first rack member 295 When the member or the like is in the initial position (when it is in the state of FIG. 10), the drive of the drive motor 273 is terminated.

  The effect control board 12 repeatedly performs forward rotation and reverse rotation of the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273, and the interval between the characters “LOVE” (the intervals between the first to fourth character members 281 to 284). ) May be continuously changed a plurality of times.

  A detection sensor is provided at the position of the detection piece 295E in the state of FIG. 11, and the effect control board 12 detects the detection piece 295E by the detection sensor, thereby detecting the current state of FIG. May be. The effect control board 12 may control the drive motor 273 based on the detection.

(Relationship between deformation of movable body 250 and light emission)
The relationship between the deformation of the movable body 250 and the light emission mode of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A shows an initial state of the movable body 250. The movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time is not deformed. The effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.), and the movable body 250 changes in the order of FIG. 12 (A) → (B) → (C) → (A) → (B) →. (Thus, the decorative body appears to be throbbing) (strictly speaking, the state (A) also enters between (B) and (C) in FIG. 12. The state (A) is ( This is because it is a state between the state of B) and the state of (C).) In addition, when the effect control board 12 deforms the movable body 250, the LED 275A is caused to emit light by supplying a control signal to the LED board 275 via the board 253 (that is, the decorative body 269 is illuminated from behind). . In the following description, it is assumed that the luminance of the LED 275A is constant.

  The production control board 12 supplies a control signal to the LED board 283B or the like via the board 253 and / or the LED board 275 in accordance with the light emission of the LED 275A or regardless of the light emission. The four character members 281 to 284 may emit light individually or simultaneously to enhance the effect.

  When the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 and the like) is rotated forward (right rotation) from the initial state, the first gear 261 is also rotated forward as described above, via the second gear 262 and the third gear 263. The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 move away from each other (see FIG. 12B). As a result, the decorative body 269 extends in the left-right direction (is elastically deformed in such a manner that it is pulled from both the left-right direction). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 is reduced, the light transmittance is improved, and more light from the LED 275A is transmitted, so that the movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time looks brighter than the initial state.

  Thereafter, when the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 and the like) is rotated in the reverse direction (left rotation), as described above, the first gear 261 is also rotated in the reverse direction via the second gear 262 and the third gear 263. The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 move in the approaching direction (see FIG. 12C). As a result, the decorative body 269 contracts in the left-right direction (is elastically deformed in such a manner that it is pressed from both the left-right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 is increased, the light transmittance is decreased, and the light of the LED 275A is transmitted less. Therefore, the movable body 250 (the decorative body 269) at this time is in the state illustrated in FIG. Looks darker than the initial state.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the decorative body 269 of the movable body 250 expands and contracts in the left-right direction as shown in FIGS. Since the brightness of 269 changes according to its own beating motion, the effect of production increases. Note that the luminance of the LED 275 </ b> A may be changed depending on how the decorative body 269 is deformed. For example, when the light transmittance is high (FIG. 12B), the luminance is increased, and when the light transmittance is low (FIG. 12C), the luminance is decreased. Good. Thereby, the brightness of the decorative body 269 changes more greatly according to the heartbeat, and the effect of production can be enhanced. The light from the LED 256 </ b> A mounted on the LED board 256 illuminates the upper part of the decorative body 269. Therefore, in FIG. 12 showing the state of the front surface of the decorative body 269, the state of illumination by the LED 256A is not shown. On the other hand, the player can visually recognize the upper part of the decorative body 269 illuminated by the light from the LED 256A. At the upper part of the decorative body 269, the light transmittance changes as the decorative body 269 expands and contracts in the left-right direction. Therefore, the brightness of the light from the LED 256A also changes according to the movement of the decorative body 269 that beats.

(Structure of LED board 256, etc.)
13A and 13B are diagrams showing the LED substrate, in which FIG. 13A is a perspective view seen from the front, and FIG. 13B is a plan view seen from the arrow B in FIG. 14A and 14B are diagrams showing the LED substrate. FIG. 14A is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting line XIVA-XIVA in FIG. 13B, and FIG. 14B is a cutting line XIVB-XIVB in FIG. FIG.

  The LED board 256 has a board body 256B, and a plurality of LEDs 256A and connectors 256C soldered to the board body 256B. Hereinafter, the plurality of LEDs 256A and the connector 256C may be collectively referred to as an electronic component 256D.

  The substrate body 256B has a shape that matches the shape of the curved upper surface of the base body 255 on which the substrate body 256B is installed. The substrate main body 256B includes curved portions 285 and 287 that are curved, and a non-curved portion 286 that is not curved. The curved portion 285 has a substantially bow-shaped curved shape in the cross section shown in FIG. 14A cut along a cutting line XIVA-XIVA parallel to the left-right direction. The curved portion 287 has a substantially line-symmetric shape with the curved portion 285 with respect to the center of the substrate body 256B, and has a substantially bow-shaped curved shape in a cross section taken along the cutting line XIVA-XIVA. Yes. The non-curved portion 286 connects both the curved portion 285 and the curved portion 287. The non-curved portion 286 is illustrated as a flat plate in a cross section taken along the cutting line XIVA-XIVA without being curved.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the bending portion 285 is not curved in a cross section cut along a cutting line XIVB-XIVB (cutting line orthogonal to the cutting line XIVA-XIVA) parallel to the front-rear direction. It is illustrated in the shape. Similarly, the non-curved portion 286 and the curved portion 287 are not curved in a cross section cut by a cutting line parallel to the front-rear direction.

  In the LED board 256 in this embodiment, five LEDs 256A are soldered to the curved portion 285, and five LEDs 256A and one connector 256C are soldered to the curved portion 287. On the other hand, any electronic component 256D is not provided in the non-curved portion 286.

  Next, how to attach the electronic component 256D provided on the board body 256B will be described. 15A and 15B are diagrams showing an LED substrate, in which FIG. 15A is an enlarged view of “XVA part” in FIG. 13A, and FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view as viewed from arrow B in FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view as seen from the arrow C in (A).

  Each drawing in FIG. 15 focuses on one LED 256A provided on the substrate body 256B. As shown in FIG. 15A, the LED 256A has a rectangular parallelepiped shape, and is soldered to the mounting position Z0 on the board body 256B. The rectangular parallelepiped LED 256A can define a short direction having a short dimension and a long direction having a long dimension. In FIG. 15, orthogonal coordinates are defined in which the attachment position Z0 is the origin, the short direction of the LED 256A is the X axis direction, and the long direction is the Y axis direction. The LED 256A is soldered on the board body 256B so that the X-axis direction, which is the short direction, coincides with the left-right direction, and the Y-axis direction, which is the longitudinal direction, coincides with the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIG. 15B, the substrate body 256B is curved in a cross-sectional view taken along a cross-sectional line parallel to the left-right direction. The LED 256A is mounted on the board body 256B so that the X axis, which is the short direction, coincides with a tangent line on the board body 256B passing through the attachment position Z0. FIG. 15B shows two tangent lines, and the first is a tangent line 288 that passes through the point Z1 on the substrate body 256B corresponding to the point X1 advanced in the −X axis direction from the point X0. . The second line is a tangent line 289 that passes through the point Z2 on the substrate body 256B corresponding to the point X2 advanced in the + X axis direction from the point X0. When the tangent line 288, the X axis, and the tangent line 289 on the substrate body 256B are viewed in order, the direction of the straight line gradually changes. From this, it can be seen that the substrate body 256B in the curved portion 285 has a curvature along the X-axis direction (the short direction of the LED 256A). Note that the magnitude of the curvature of the substrate body 256B in the X-axis direction can be determined by the degree of change in the direction of the tangent. If the change in the direction of the tangent is large, the degree of curvature of the substrate body 256B is large, and the curvature in the X-axis direction is large. On the other hand, if the change in the angle of the tangent is small, the degree of curvature of the substrate body 256B is small and the curvature in the X-axis direction is small.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15C, the substrate body 256B is not curved in the cross-sectional view taken along the cross-sectional line parallel to the front-rear direction. The LED 256A is provided on the substrate main body 256B so that the Y axis, which is the longitudinal direction, coincides with a tangent line on the substrate main body 256B passing through the attachment position Z0. Further, in FIG. 15C, it corresponds to a tangent line passing through the point Z3 on the substrate body 256B corresponding to the point Y1 advanced from the point Y0 in the −Y axis direction, and a point Y2 advanced from the point Y0 in the + Y axis direction. A tangent line passing through the point Z4 on the substrate body 256B coincides with the Y axis. Thus, the direction of the tangent line on the substrate main body 256B in FIG. 15C does not change even if the position on the Y-axis is changed. Therefore, the curvature of the substrate body 256B in the Y-axis direction (longitudinal direction of the LED 256A) is zero.

  As described above, the LED 256A is soldered with the short side direction (X-axis direction) in the direction of large curvature and the long side direction (Y-axis direction) in the direction of small curvature at the mounting position Z0 on the board body 256B. ing. In particular, in the present embodiment, the short direction (X-axis direction) of the LED 256A is the direction in which the curvature is maximum at the mounting position Z0, the long side direction (Y-axis direction) of the LED 256A is the minimum in curvature at the mounting position Z0. In the same direction (the direction in which the curvature is 0). In addition, also in the electronic component 256D other than the LED 256A shown by the “XVA part” in FIG. 13A, in the mounting position on the board body 256B, the short side direction is a direction with a large curvature, and the long side direction is a direction with a small curvature. It is soldered so that it may face (the longitudinal direction faces the front-back direction).

(Overall operation of the rendering device 200)
An effect using the effect device 200 is executed at the time of super reach, for example. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the effect control board 12 operates the movable body 250 at a predetermined timing of super reach. Specifically, by controlling the drive motor 257 and the drive motor 273 at the same time, the decorative body 269 is expanded and contracted in the left-right direction (refer to the above for detailed operations), and the first character member 281 to the fourth character. The distance between the members of the member 284 is increased or decreased (refer to the above for the detailed operation). Thereby, the operation (deformation of the movable body 250) as shown in FIGS. 16B and 16C is repeated. At this time, the effect control board 12 displays effect images EG1 and EG2 that emphasize that the movable body 250 is beating on the effect display device 5 according to the deformation of the movable body 250.

  Thereafter, the effect control board 12 controls the drive mechanism 210 (drive motor 215) to move the movable body 250 to the advanced position after setting the movable body 250 to the initial state before deformation (detailed operations are described above). reference). At this time, the effect control board 12 displays the effect image EG3 that makes the drive motor 273 stand out on the effect display device 5 (FIG. 16D). At this time, the mode of the movable body 250 may be changed (the illumination of the decorative body 269, the deformation of the decorative body 269, the change of the LOVE character interval, etc.).

(Effects of this embodiment)
As in the above embodiment, the decorative body 269 is deformed by moving the left and right ends of the decorative body 269. Therefore, the decorative body 269 can be changed in an unprecedented form, and the production effect is improved. As described above, by applying force in a plurality of directions to the decoration body in a plurality of locations, the decoration body is changed, so that the decoration body is changed to a form in which the player is interested (for example, in a complicated manner). And the production effect can be improved.

  In this embodiment, the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is changed by deforming the decorative body 269 (changing the thickness by deformation). Thereby, the brightness of the decorative body 269 that is illuminated later can be changed according to its shape. In particular, since the transmittance can be changed according to the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269, the brightness of the decorative body 269 can be continuously changed by continuously changing the shape of the decorative body 269. (Complicated control is unnecessary). Therefore, the effect of production can be improved.

  In addition, by changing the luminance of the LED 257A in accordance with the deformation of the decorative body 269, the effect due to the deformation of the decorative body 269 and the effect due to the light can be associated and executed at the same time, so that the effect can be improved. The production effect can be improved.

  In this embodiment, since the effect image EG1 and the like corresponding to the change of the decorative body 269 are displayed on the effect display device 5, the display image of the effect display device 5 can be interlocked with the deformation of the decorative body 269. The production effect can be improved.

  Further, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. Further, the elastic body 229 becomes a resistance against the movable body 250 moving downward. Thereby, the load on the drive motor 215 due to the weight of the movable body 250 can be reduced, and the movable body 250 can move smoothly in the vertical direction.

  In addition, the electronic component 256D on the curved board body 256B is soldered at the mounting position with the short direction facing the direction in which the curvature of the LED board 256 is large and the longitudinal direction facing the direction in which the curvature of the LED board 256 is small. Yes. Thereby, it can suppress that a crack arises in the solder which fixes electronic component 256D. Such an effect does not depend on the manufacturing process of the LED substrate, and in the LED substrate formed by soldering the electronic component to the curved substrate body, the electronic component such as the LED is soldered to the flat substrate body, and thereafter A similar effect is also obtained in an LED substrate formed by curving the substrate body.

  It is difficult in terms of cost and manufacturing to bend electronic parts such as LEDs in accordance with the shape of the curved substrate body. Therefore, an electronic component that is not curved is soldered to the substrate body, but an unavoidable gap is generated between the electronic component that is not curved and the curved substrate body. Due to this inevitable gap, when an electronic component is soldered to the curved substrate body, fixing by the solder becomes insufficient, or unexpected thermal stress or stress concentration occurs in the solder. Thereby, cracks are likely to occur in the solder for fixing the electronic component. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gap between the electronic component and the substrate body is made small by directing the longitudinal direction of the electronic component in the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body is small. On the other hand, by arranging the short direction of the electronic component in the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body is large, the electronic component is arranged so that the gap is as small as possible even in the direction in which the large gap is generated. Thereby, soldering of an electronic component can be ensured, unexpected thermal stress and stress concentration can be reduced, and cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

  Next, a description will be given of a case where a curved LED substrate is formed by bending a flat substrate body to which electronic components are soldered. When the electronic component is soldered to the board main body on the flat plate, no gap is generated between the electronic component and the board main body, and the soldering is hardly defective. However, when the substrate body to which the electronic components are soldered is bent, a tensile region and a compression region are formed on the substrate body with the neutral axis as a boundary. At this time, the surface of the substrate body on the side of the tensile region is extended, and the surface of the compressed region is reduced. However, electronic components and solder on the surface of the substrate body try to resist the expansion and contraction of the surface of the substrate body. Therefore, the solder tends to crack when the substrate body is bent. Therefore, in this embodiment, the electronic component is arranged so that the short direction coincides with the direction in which the surface is greatly expanded and contracted by bending the substrate body (the direction in which the tensile force or the compressive force acts and the direction in which the curvature is large). Is arranged. Thereby, the range which the surface of a board body restrains expansion and contraction can be made small, the stress which acts on solder can be reduced, and the crack which arises in solder can be controlled.

  Further, a substantially triangular cutout 269H and a cutout 269I are formed on the upper portion of the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a force that compresses the decorative body 269 from the left-right direction is applied, the notch 269H and the notch 269I close the notched portion. Thereby, the decorative body 269 can be easily deformed by the compressive force from the left and right directions, and the operation of the decorative body 269 can be made natural.

  The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267 are connected in a state where the left end portion of the decorative body 269 is sandwiched, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 are connected to the right end portion of the decorative body 269. Are connected in a state of sandwiching. As described above, by connecting the decorative body 269 in a sandwiched state, when the decorative body 269 is deformed, it is possible to suppress a problem that the decorative body 269 is broken due to stress concentration at a specific place. .

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and the like, and various modifications and applications can be made to the above embodiment and the like. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to include all the technical features shown in the above embodiment, and the part described in the above embodiment so as to solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may be provided with the following structure. Although the modification of the said embodiment is illustrated below, at least one part of each modification can be combined unless a contradiction arises.

(Modification 1)
In the above description, the driving of the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 and the deformation of the decorative body 269 are performed by separate independent mechanisms, but they may be interlocked. For example, the second rack portion 296 and the fourth rack member 298 are directly fixed to the through holes 269A and 269D of the decorative body 269, or fixed to the first mounting member 267 and the second mounting member 268, so that the second rack The sliding of the part 296 and the fourth rack member 298 and the deformation of the decorative body 269 may be interlocked. In such a case, the drive motor 257 and various members that transmit the drive force of the drive motor 257 are not necessary. With such a configuration, it is possible to easily interlock a plurality of types of members used for production, and to enhance the production effect.

(Modification 2)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may perform a so-called initial operation at the initial setting when the power is turned on. In the initial operation, (1) whether the movable body 250 or the like is in the initial state (for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is normally powered off, it can be said that the movable body 250 is in the initial state). When it is not in the initial state, a process for returning the movable body 250 and the like to the initial state is executed, and (2) whether the movable body 250 and the like move normally or not at a game shop clerk or factory shipment The process of actually operating the movable body 250 or the like and returning it to the initial state in order to make the worker or the like visually check (for example, the same operation as when performing an effect using the movable body 250 or the like during a game) And a process for causing the movable body 250 or the like to perform at least one of the above. The initial state is, for example, (1) a state when no external force is applied to the decorative body 269 or the like, and (2) a normal state that is not abnormal (for example, a state when the power supply is normally turned on without any abnormality). The state before the decoration body 269 or the like is in operation in a state where the production or the like is not executed. Then, when performing an initial operation at the time of power-on (movement of the movable body 250, deformation of the decorative body 269, movement of the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284, etc.), the effect control board 12 displays the effect display device 5 In addition, an image displayed when the effect by the movable body 250 such as the effect image is executed is not displayed (for example, the effect display device 5 does not display an image or displays only a predetermined initial screen). Or display a recovery screen when power is restored.) Thereby, the visibility of the operation of the movable body 250 when the power is turned on can be improved (particularly, the above (2)).
During initial operation).

(Modification 3)
Even when the external force necessary for the deformation does not act during the deformation (for example, even when the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like), the decorative body 269 is being deformed by the elastic force (restoring force). You may approach the initial state (initial shape) rather than a state. For example, a stepping motor or the like having a weak detent torque may be adopted as the drive motor 257 to increase the elastic force of the decorative body 269 (the restoring force necessary to rotate the rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 that is not turned on) It is good that the decorative body 269 has. Note that the decorative body 269 and the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 may be brought closer to the initial state when the power is turned off by the force of an elastic body such as a spring provided in a mechanism for driving them. . The approach to the initial state includes both the return of the decorative body 269 to the initial state and the return to the state (shape) close to the initial state. If the decorative body 269 is brought close to the initial state to some extent, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience (for example, it becomes difficult for the decorative body 269 to return to the initial state due to unintended habits) due to the deformed decorative body 269 being left as it is.

(Modification 4)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may include means for monitoring the voltage of the power source. In this case, when the value of the voltage of the power supply falls below a predetermined value, it is determined that a power interruption such as a power failure will occur, and the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 are controlled to bring the rendering device 200 closer to the initial state. May be performed. The predetermined value may be a value that secures a voltage necessary for operating the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 (various drive motors) (a value larger than a threshold value at the time of determining whether the power is cut off at the end). Would be good). For example, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 273 to bring the first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 closer to the original positions (moves to the initial position). And moving to the vicinity of the initial position). Thereby, the force in the direction to return the decorative body 269 to the initial state can be applied to the decorative body 269, and the decorative body 269 can be brought close to the initial state (at this time, the first character member 281 to the fourth character). The member 284 may be brought close to the initial state). The explanation about “initial state” and “close to the initial state” and the effect of the fourth modification are the same as those of the third modification. It should be noted that a backup power source or the like is provided, and after the power is cut off and power is no longer supplied from the outside, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 273 with the backup power source, and the first slide member You may make it make 265, the 1st attachment member 267, the 2nd slide member 266, and the 2nd attachment member 268 approach the original position. Note that the decorative body 269 may not be an elastic body, and in this case, the above-described processing for bringing the effect device 200 close to the initial state may be performed.

(Modification 5)
The decorative body 269 may be one in which a force acts in the vertical direction or the oblique direction, or may be one in which a force in three or more directions acts. The decorative body 269 may have a force acting in one direction. In addition, when applying force in a plurality of directions to the decorative body 269, the force in the plurality of directions may be applied simultaneously, or may be applied at different timings. For example, a force may be applied to the right end of the decorative body 269 and then a force may be applied to the left end. The magnitude of the force in a plurality of directions may be the same, or at least one may be different from the others. The direction and the number of acting forces, the timing of action, and the like may be set according to the shape of the decorative body 269 (in the above embodiment, the decorative body 269 has a heart shape, so the decorative body 269 beats. In order to make it appear to be doing, force is applied simultaneously on the left and right).

  For example, the decorative body 269 may have only the state shown in FIG. 12B with the initial state shown in FIG. As described above, the decorative body 269 does not expand and contract from the initial state, but may perform only an operation extending from the initial state (which may be defined by a rotation angle of a drive motor or the like). Furthermore, for example, the decorative body 269 may have only the state illustrated in FIG. 12C with the initial state illustrated in FIG. Thus, the decorative body 269 may perform only the operation of contracting from the initial state (it may be defined by the rotation angle of the drive motor or the like).

(Modification 6)
For example, when the decorative body 269 extends and the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is the first transmittance, the luminance of the LED 257A (illumination from the rear) is set to the first luminance, and the decorative body 269 contracts. When the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is the second transmittance lower than the first transmittance, the luminance of the LED 257A may be set to the second luminance higher than the first luminance. For example, low luminance may be used in FIG. 12B, and high luminance may be used in FIG. In this way, for example, even if the decorative body 269 is deformed, the apparent brightness of the decorative body 269 may not be changed. Thereby, the production effect can be enhanced.

  Further, the speed of movement of the decorative body 269 (such as the speed of beating) may be changed, and the change in luminance of the LED 257A may be matched to the speed of the movement. For example, when the luminance (brightness) is changed in accordance with the movement (beat) of the decorative body 269, as the movement becomes faster, the change in the luminance is also advanced (the period of light and darkness is advanced), and as the movement becomes slower, The change in luminance may also be delayed (the light / dark cycle may be delayed). For example, by making the relationship between a certain state of the decorative body 269 and the luminance at that time always the same, the deformation cycle of the decorative body 269 and the luminance change cycle of the LED 257A can be matched. Thereby, the production effect can be enhanced. Note that the emission color of the LED 257A may be changed instead of or in addition to the change in luminance (such as the earlier the color is darker). Various modes (shape, color, blinking period, size, number of images, etc.) such as effect images EG1, EG2 displayed on the effect display device 5 may be changed according to the speed of movement of the decorative body 269. (The effect image may be changed to another image according to the speed of movement of the decorative body 269). Depending on the mode of movement of the decorative body 269 (direction of movement (stretching direction, etc.), amount of movement, speed of movement, etc.), the luminance and emission color (illumination color) of the LED 257A, the mode of the effect image, etc. are changed. Also good.

An appropriate shape or the like of the movable body 250 can be adopted. The present invention can also be applied to other gaming machines such as slot machines and enclosed gaming machines.

(Modification 8)
The above-described LED substrate 256 has a curvature in the left-right direction, but does not have a curvature in the front-rear direction orthogonal to the left-right direction. And the electronic component on a board | substrate body is arrange | positioned with the longitudinal direction facing the front-back direction in which a curvature is zero. The present invention can be applied not only to a substrate having such a shape, but also to the case where an electronic component is soldered to a substrate having a curvature in any direction. 17A and 17B are diagrams showing another example of the LED substrate, in which FIG. 17A is a plan view and FIG. 17B is a cross-sectional view taken along a cutting line BB in FIG. 18 is a view showing another example of the LED substrate, (A) is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA in FIG. 17 (A), and (B) is “B part” in (A). It is an enlarged view of "."

  The LED substrate 300 includes a substrate body 301 and a plurality of LEDs 302 and connectors 303 soldered to the substrate body 301 (hereinafter, these may be simply referred to as electronic components 304). .

  The substrate body 301 is rectangular in plan view, and the surface of the substrate body 301 is curved in any direction, which is different from the LED substrate 256 described above. The substrate main body 301 includes a high-curved section 311 that is largely curved and a low-curved section having a smaller curvature than the high-curved section 311 in the cross section shown in FIG. 17B cut along a cutting line BB parallel to the left-right direction. 310 and a low bending section 312. The low-curved section 310 and the low-curved section 312 have a line-symmetric relationship with respect to the center of the LED substrate 300. On the other hand, the substrate body 301 is also curved in the cross section shown in FIG. 18A cut along a cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA parallel to the front-rear direction. However, the degree of curvature is smaller than the degree of curvature in any section of the cross section shown in FIG. That is, the substrate body 301 of the LED substrate 300 has a curved surface having a large curvature of a section cut along a cutting line parallel to the left-right direction and a small curvature of a section cut along a cutting line parallel to the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, a short direction X1 and a long direction X2 are defined for the LED 302. The LED 302 is arranged so that the short direction X1 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is large (FIG. 17B), and the longitudinal direction Y1 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is small (FIG. 18 ( A)) Arranged. With such an arrangement of the LEDs 302, it is possible to suppress cracks that occur in the solder that fixes the LEDs 302, as in the above embodiment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, a short direction X2 and a long direction Y2 are defined for the connector 303. The connector 303 has a dimension in the short direction and a dimension in the longitudinal direction both larger than each dimension of the LED 302. The connector 303 is arranged such that the short direction X2 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is large (FIG. 17B), and the longitudinal direction Y2 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is small (FIG. 17). (A)) Arranged. Thereby, the crack which arises in the solder which fixes the connector 303 can be suppressed. Further, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 17B, the connector 303 is soldered to the low bending section 312 having a small curvature and is not soldered to the high bending section 311. As described above, the various dimensions of the connector 303 are larger than the dimensions of the LED 302. Therefore, in order to make the gap between the connector 303 and the board body 301 smaller, it is soldered to a portion having a small curvature. This does not exclude that the LED 302 is soldered to the low curvature section 312. That is, as the electronic component has a smaller size, soldering to a portion having a larger curvature is allowed. On the other hand, as the electronic component has a larger size, the soldered portion is limited to a portion having a smaller curvature.

  In addition, although LED and a connector were demonstrated to the example as an electronic component soldered to a board | substrate, this invention is applied also when soldering a transistor, a resistor, a diode, a capacitor | condenser etc. as another electronic component, for example. be able to.

(Modification 9)
Moreover, in the above-mentioned LED board, since the direction with a large curvature and the direction with a small curvature match between the attachment locations of a plurality of electronic components, each electronic component also regularly aligns the longitudinal direction with the front-rear direction. Had been soldered. However, the present invention can also be applied to a substrate in which the substrate body is twisted and curved in various directions. Also in this case, the electronic component may be soldered so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the direction of large curvature and the short direction coincides with the direction of small curvature at the mounting position of the electronic component.

(Modification 10)
As shown in FIG. 18B, in the curved LED substrate 300, the wiring 330 on the surface on the bent portion 301a side and the wiring 340 on the surface on the bent portion 301b side are made different in form. May be. Here, the bending portion 301a is a portion where a tensile force acts on the neutral axis when the substrate body 301 is bent, and the contraction portion 301b is a compressive force acting on the neutral axis. Say part. The wiring 330 on the surface of the extended portion 301a receives a tensile force when the LED substrate 300 is bent, and receives a thermal stress when the electronic component is soldered. In order to suppress the occurrence of defects such as breakage in the wiring 330 due to these external forces, each cross section of the wiring 330 arranged on the bent portion 301a side is arranged on the bent portion 301b side. The cross section of the wiring 340 is made larger. Thereby, it can suppress that the crack is produced in the solder 320 when the wiring 330 is disconnected. On the other hand, a compressive force mainly acts on the wiring 340 on the surface on the side of the bent portion 301b. However, the wiring 340 is unlikely to be broken due to the compressive force. Therefore, each cross section of the wiring 340 arranged on the bent portion 301b side can be made smaller than the cross section of the wiring 330 on the bent portion 301a side.

  Note that the difference between the cross section of the wiring 330 and the cross section of the wiring 340 is not limited to the case where the substrate is different in a curved state as illustrated in FIG. For example, in a flat substrate before bending, the cross-section is made different by the amount of expansion and contraction of the wiring, and then the wiring of the extension portion and the wiring of the bending portion have substantially the same cross-section when the substrate is bent thereafter. It is good also as a simple structure. Further, as a difference in wiring between the bent portion and the bent portion, not only the size of the cross section of one wire but also the number of wires, the material of the wires, and the like may be varied. For example, the cross section of each wiring may be made the same size at the bent portion and the bent portion, and the number of wires in the bent portion may be larger than the number of wires in the bent portion. Further, the wire of the bent portion may be formed using a material that is easier to extend than the wire of the bent portion. In addition, when soldering an electronic component to each of the bent portion and the bent portion, the amount of solder of the electronic component arranged in the bent portion is determined by the amount of solder of the electronic component arranged in the bent portion. May be increased. Thereby, the crack which generate | occur | produces in a solder can be suppressed.

(Modification 11)
Moreover, in the LED board provided in the gaming machine according to the present invention, it is possible to realize an appropriate arrangement of electronic components capable of suppressing solder cracks by considering the function and performance of the electronic components to be mounted. 19A and 19B are diagrams for explaining another example of the LED substrate. FIG. 19A is a diagram in which electronic components are arranged without considering the curvature of the substrate body, and FIG. 19B is an electronic diagram from the arrangement in FIG. It is the figure which changed arrangement | positioning etc. of components. A substrate body 401a shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B has the same shape as the substrate body 301 shown in FIG. In other words, the LED substrate 400 a has a high-curved section 411 that is greatly curved, and a low-curved section 410 and a low-curved section 412 that have a smaller curvature than the high-curved section 411. The substrate body 401a is curved in the front-rear direction, but the degree of the curvature is smaller than that of the low-curved section 410 and the low-curved section 412.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, LEDs 420a to 420g, resistors 430a to 430b, and LEDs 421a to 421c are mounted on the substrate body 401a of the LED substrate 400a. The LEDs 421a to 421c have higher brightness of emitted light and larger dimensions than the LEDs 420a to 420g. The resistors 430a and 430b have the same resistance value and the same dimensions. Here, for example, it is determined that the solder that fixes the electronic components in the low-curved section 410 and the low-curved section 412 has a low possibility of cracking because the degree of curvature of the substrate body 401a is small, and the high-curved section 411 Assume that it is determined that a solder for fixing a certain LED 420c to 420e has a low possibility of cracking because the size of the electronic component itself is small. On the other hand, it is assumed that the solder that fixes the LED 421b and the resistors 430a and 430b in the highly curved section 411 is determined to have a high possibility of cracking. In this case, it is necessary to take measures for changing the type and arrangement of the electronic components shown in FIG.

  In the solder which fixes LED420a-420g, since possibility that a crack will arise is low, it is not necessary to change the position and kind of electronic component. However, as shown in FIG. 19B, an LED 422a may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LED 420a and the LED 420b. Thus, the LED 422a to be arranged instead is selected from those that emit light having the same luminance as the combined luminance of the light emitted from the LED 420a and the LED 420b. The LED 422a is an LED that is larger in size than the LED 420a and the LED 420b, but is determined to be less susceptible to cracks in the solder in the low-curved section 410. Similarly, as illustrated in FIG. 19B, an LED 422b may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LED 420f and the LED 420g.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, four LEDs 422a can be provided instead of the LEDs 421b provided in the high-curved section 411, which are likely to crack in the solder to be fixed. These LEDs 422a are selected from the LEDs whose luminance is the same as the luminance of the light emitted from the LED 421b alone. The dimensions of the four LEDs 422a are smaller than the dimensions of the LEDs 421b, and the possibility of cracking in the solder to be fixed is low. In this way, by replacing a large-sized LED (electronic component) with a plurality of small-sized LEDs (electronic component) without reducing the brightness of the light as a whole (without reducing the function), soldering can be performed. The crack which arises in can be suppressed. The small-sized LED 422a is mounted around the mounting position of the substitute LED 421b. Therefore, the mode of light emitted from the four LEDs 422a and the mode of light emitted from the LED 421b alone can be made the same.

  In addition, when it is determined that there is a high possibility of cracks occurring in the solder for fixing the resistor 430a provided in the high bending section 411, the cracks are generated by changing the wiring formed on the substrate body 401a. The resistor 430a can be moved to a position where it is difficult to perform. That is, as shown in FIG. 19B, the mounting position of the resistor 430a is changed from the high bending section 411 to the low bending section 410. As a result, it is possible to suppress cracks that occur in the solder that fixes the resistor 430a.

  Also, unlike the resistor 430a, when it is difficult to change the mounting position, a plurality of small resistors can be substituted without changing the mounting position. As shown in FIG. 19B, two small resistors 431a can be provided instead of the resistor 430b provided in the high-curved section 411 where the solder is likely to crack. The two resistors 431a provided instead are selected from those having a combined resistance value that is approximately the same as the resistance value of the resistor 430b to be substituted. The size of the resistor 431a is smaller than the size of the resistor 430b, and the possibility of cracking in the solder is low. In this way, by replacing the resistor (electronic component) having a large size with a plurality of resistors (electronic components) having a small size without changing the resistance value as a whole (without changing the function), Cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

  As described above, changing the electronic component having a large size to a plurality of electronic components having a small size to suppress the cracking may result in forming a curved portion in the substrate main body particularly at the design stage of the LED substrate. In the case where the degree of bending is changed or an unexpected crack occurs after manufacturing, the solder crack can be dealt with without making a large design change. As described above, as an electronic component capable of dealing with solder cracks, not only the above-described LED or resistor, but also a capacitor, a connector, or the like can be used.

(Circuit structure of the LED board 275 of the movable body 250)
Next, a circuit configuration of the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250 will be described. FIG. 20 is a front view illustrating a state in which the cover body is removed from the movable body. FIG. 21 is a detailed view showing the LED substrate 275 provided inside the movable body 250. 21A shows a component mounting surface (front surface) on which various surface mounting components such as a plurality of LED elements and protective resistors are mounted, and FIG. 21B shows the back surface (also referred to as a solder surface). It is.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the shape of the LED substrate 275 will be described. The LED substrate 275 has a substantially heart shape according to the shape of the movable body 250, and as described above, the cover It can be fixed to the front of the body 271 without protruding from the cover body 271.

  In the central portion of the LED substrate 275, as described above, the drive motor 257 for deforming the decorative body 269 made of synthetic rubber covering the front surface of the movable body 250 and the interval between the character members of “LOVE” are changed. A large notch 275B for disposing the drive motor 273 is formed so as to substantially cut the central portion of the LED substrate 275 in the vertical direction, and is slightly below the center corresponding to the first rack member 295. Has a horizontally long shape so as not to hinder the movement of the second character member 282.

  Therefore, as shown in FIG. 21, the LED substrate 275 has a first region on the right side of the LED substrate 275 and a second region on the left side of the LED substrate 275 separated by the notch 275B. The second region is significantly narrower than the first region and the second region, and has a special shape electrically and mechanically connected by a connection region 275C formed below the notch 275B.

  275D is an insertion hole for preventing a member protruding forward from the back side of the LED board 275 from coming into contact with the LED board 275.

  On the component mounting surface (front surface) of the LED board 275, a large number of LEDs 275A are mounted uniformly over almost the entire surface so that the player can see that the entire decorative body 269 emits light. The turning on / off of the LED 275A is controlled by the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. Note that the LED 275A is also mounted in the connection region 275C so that the lower end portion of the decorative body 269 is not darker than the other portions.

  On the component mounting surface (front surface) of the LED substrate 275, not only a large number of LEDs 275A but also protective resistors for limiting the current supplied to the LEDs 275A, diodes, capacitors, and the like are mounted.

  The LED driving IC 602 emits not only a large number of LEDs 275A mounted on the component mounting surface (front surface) but also each “LOVE” character member such as the LED board 283B of the “V” third character member 283. In order to achieve this, each LED board provided inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 is also connected via the connector 650, and the lighting / extinguishing of the LED mounted on each LED board is also controlled. To do. Therefore, on the component mounting surface (front surface), the connection connector 650 with each LED board provided in the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 is also cut into the first region and the second region, respectively. The notches 275 </ b> B are mounted one by one so as to face the part having a horizontally long shape.

(Characteristic configuration of connector mounting pattern)
Here, the connectors 650 mounted in the first region and the second region, and the electrodes (mounting patterns) on which the connectors 650 are mounted will be described with reference to FIGS.

  In FIG. 21, the electrodes (mounting patterns) on which the connectors 650 are mounted are enlarged, and FIG. 24 shows these electrodes (mounting patterns) and the connectors 650 mounted on the electrodes (mounting patterns). It is shown in enlarged view in a perspective view.

  In the present embodiment, as the electrodes (mounting pattern) for mounting the connector 650 on the LED substrate 275, as shown by the black portions in the enlarged view of FIG. 24) and the metal fixing portions 651 formed at the lower ends at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the connector 650 are fixed to the LED substrate 275 by soldering as shown in FIG. Two fixing pads P are formed so as to correspond to the respective terminals and the metal fixing portion 651.

  In the present embodiment, among the seven terminals of the connector 650, only four terminals from No. 1 to No. 4 are used, and three terminals from No. 5 to No. 7 are not used. Therefore, these three unused terminals are connected to the GND pattern so that the potential is indefinite and noise or the like does not enter. Further, a two-dot chain line in the enlarged view of FIG. 21 indicates a region occupied by the mounted connector.

  Between the terminal pattern and the fixed pad P, a GND pattern is formed so as to surround a wiring pattern that connects each terminal pattern and a through hole covered with a connector to be mounted. Thus, in order to surround the wiring pattern, the GND pattern between the terminal pattern of the first terminal and the fixed pad P is an extremely narrow constriction N.

  For this reason, the electrical connection between the GND pattern located immediately below the connector CN connected by the narrowed portion N and the GND pattern not located directly below the connector CN is lowered, and the potential of the GND pattern located immediately below the connector CN is reduced. Are likely to change, and the noise reduction capability of these GND patterns may be reduced.

  In particular, since the three unused terminal patterns are connected to the GND pattern located immediately below the connector CN as described above, the reduction in the noise reduction capability of the GND pattern located directly below the connector CN is as follows. There is a possibility that the noise reduction capability of the three unused terminal patterns will be reduced, and the adverse effects of noise on the circuits connected to the four used terminals may increase.

  For this reason, in the present embodiment, the fixed pad P is grounded by connecting the GND pattern surrounding the fixed pad P and the fixed pad P by the three bridge patterns BR. By doing in this way, the GND pattern located immediately below the connector CN connected by the narrowed portion N and the GND pattern not located directly below the connector CN are also electrically connected via the fixed pad P and the bridge pattern BR. As a result, the noise reduction capability of the GND pattern located immediately below the connector CN is improved.

  In this embodiment, the other fixed pad P not surrounded by the GND pattern is connected to the GND pattern by only one bridge pattern BR. However, the number and shape of these bridge patterns BR are as follows. The other fixed pad P may not be connected to the GND pattern depending on the state of the wiring pattern. That is, in the present embodiment, an example in which all of the plural (two) fixing pads P are electrically connected to the GND pattern is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and plural (two) Among the fixed pads P), some of the fixed pads P may not be electrically connected to the GND pattern.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the surface mount type connector 650 and the LED substrate 275 are illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and may be a through hole type connector and a substrate.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 24, the connector 650 of the type in which the attachment is inserted / removed in the vertical direction with respect to the board surface to be mounted is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, as shown in FIG. 25, as long as it has a metal fixing portion 651 ′, it may be a connector 650 ′ of a type that inserts and removes the attachment along the board surface, and has a metal fixing portion. Any type may be used.

  In this embodiment, connector 650 is illustrated as a specific electronic component having a metal fixing portion. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and these specific electronic components have a metal fixing portion. For example, a socket for mounting a backup electric double layer capacitor, a battery, or a memory card, an electronic component such as a SAW filter or a dielectric coil, a TSOP package, etc. It may be a package IC having a metal fixing part.

  In this embodiment, no through hole is provided in the fixed pad P. However, through the through hole, a GND pattern other than the substrate surface, such as a solder surface or the like, is provided. If the substrate is a multilayer substrate, the area occupied by the through hole may be suppressed by connecting to the GND pattern of the layer inside the substrate as compared with the case where the through hole is individually formed.

  In the present embodiment, the pattern in which the fixed pad P is electrically connected is exemplified as the GND pattern, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the pattern adjacent to the fixed pad P is Since power supply patterns such as VCC, VDL, and VSL, which will be described later, are connected to the power supply patterns such as VCC, VDL, and VSL, the effect of reducing noise and the like can be obtained in the same manner as the GND pattern. , VDL, VSL, etc. may be connected.

  In addition, the motor drive IC 601 for driving the drive motors 257 and 273 disposed inside the notch 275B, the drive motors 257 and 273, and the LED substrate 275 are connected to the upper center position of the first region. Two connectors CN for mounting are mounted. For these connectors CN as well as the connector 650 described above, the fixing pads on which the metal fixing portions of the connectors CN are mounted are connected to the GND pattern.

  The motor drive IC 601 mounted in the first area and the LED drive IC 602 mounted in the second area receive the serial control signal including the operation instruction and the like output from the effect control board 12, thereby the LED 275 </ b> A. And the like, and the rotation / stop of the drive motors 257 and 273 are controlled.

  A connector 603 having 13 connection terminals for connecting the LED substrate 275 and the substrate 253 is mounted on the back surface (solder surface) of the connection region 275C. As described above, the connector 603 is mounted on the back surface by reducing the length of the wiring by mounting on the surface facing the substrate 253 disposed on the rear side of the movable body 250 as described above. In addition, because the LED 275A is mounted on the component mounting surface (front surface) of the connection region 275C, the connector 603 cannot be mounted.

  In addition, the connector 603 can insert / extract the attachment element | device with which the edge part of the connection electric wire was mounted | worn from the downward side of the LED board 275, in order to make the assembly of the movable body 250 easy and to prevent the disconnection in an assembly. It is supposed to be.

  As described above, the serial control signal output from the effect control board 12 by being connected to the board 253 by the connector 603 is transmitted to the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 via the board 253 and the connector 603. It is transmitted through the wiring on H.275.

  Here, a signal allocation form for each connection terminal in the connector 603 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a signal allocation form after improvement used in this embodiment, and FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a signal allocation form before improvement.

  In FIGS. 22 and 23, the left side of the drawing is the mounting portion of the connector No. 1 terminal, and the right side of the drawing is the mounting portion of the connector No. 13 (No. 12 in FIG. 23). The numbers correspond to “1” to “13” (“12” in FIG. 23) of the connectors in the circuit diagrams of FIGS. 22B and 23B.

  As shown in FIG. 23 (B), the assignment of signals to the terminals of these connectors is usually shown in a circuit diagram in which a control circuit such as a large number of LEDs is given priority over a control circuit such as a drive motor. And assigning the signals transmitted to the control circuits such as LEDs to the higher-order (low number) terminals, so that the signal lines from the connector to each control circuit do not cross each other, and there are a plurality of control signals. In some cases, it is common to group other control signals together without interposing other signals, and assign other power terminals to lower-numbered terminals. When implemented, there appears to be no problem on the wiring diagram.

  However, when the board is actually manufactured, as shown in FIG. 23A, since the connector 603 is mounted on the back surface of the connection region 275C, it is transmitted to the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second region. LED drive serial signal pattern wirings L2 and L3 (ASIBADDT, ASIBACLK) are assigned to “2” and “3” terminals located on the opposite side of the second region, and The terminals of the motor driving serial signal pattern wirings L5 and L6 (S1TXD, S1SCK) transmitted to the motor driving IC 601 mounted in the first area are also assigned to the LED driving serial signal pattern wirings L2 and L3. LED terminals are assigned to “5” and “6” terminals that are farther away than the “2” and “3” terminals. The length of the wiring pattern on the H.275 becomes longer and is more susceptible to noise, and interference between the LED driving serial signal pattern wirings L2 and L3 and the motor driving serial signal pattern wirings L5 and L6 is prevented. For this reason, the pattern becomes complicated such that the drawing direction of the pattern is different for each serial signal. In other words, redundant signal pattern wirings increase and malfunctions may occur due to noise or the like generated by these redundant signal pattern wirings.

  For this reason, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the improved signal assignment form is characterized by the pattern wiring L2 of the motor drive serial signal transmitted to the motor drive IC 601 mounted in the first area. , L3 (S1TXD, S1SCK) are assigned to the “2” and “3” terminals close to the first area and transmitted to the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. LED driving serial signal pattern wirings L11 and L12 (ASIBADDT, ASIBACLK) are assigned to the terminals “11” and “12” close to the second area.

  Note that “1” closest to the first area and “13” closest to the second area are connected to the “4” terminal and the “11” terminal adjacent to the “3” terminal. The reason why “GND” is set together with the adjacent “10” terminal is to reduce the adverse effects of noise on the pattern wirings L2 and L3 of the motor driving serial signal and the pattern wirings L11 and L12 of the LED driving serial signal. If the adverse effect due to noise is low, for example, the two terminals of the pattern wirings L2 and L3 of the motor driving serial signal are assigned to the "1" and "2" terminals, and the LED driving serial signal is assigned. These two terminals may be assigned to the “12” and “13” terminals.

  That is, in order to prevent malfunction due to noise or the like caused by redundant signal pattern wiring, a game is possible, and a first area and a second area where electronic components such as a motor driving IC 601 and an LED driving IC 602 are mounted, In the pachinko gaming machine 1 including the LED board 275 that is an area located between the first area and the second area and has a connection area 275C narrower than the first area and the second area, the connection area 275C includes a first signal pattern wiring (pattern wirings L2 and L3) for transmitting a first electric signal to the motor driving IC 601 mounted in the first area, and an LED driving mounted in the second area. A plurality of connection terminals connected to each of the second signal pattern wirings (pattern wirings L11, L12) for transmitting the second electric signal to the IC 602 The connector 603 (specific electronic component) is mounted, the first signal pattern wiring is connected to the terminal on the first region side of the connector 603 (specific electronic component) mounted in the connection region 275C, and the second The second signal pattern wiring may be connected to the terminal on the region side.

  Furthermore, in this embodiment, the motor drive serial signal and the LED drive serial signal are assigned by assigning the terminal between the motor drive serial signal terminal and the LED drive serial signal terminal to various power terminals. The signal is isolated by various power terminals, and it is possible to prevent the motor driving serial signal and the LED driving serial signal from interfering with each other.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22B, VCC (DC5V generated by the power supply IC) for operating the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 at the terminals “5” and “9” is provided. ), VDL (DC12V generated by the power supply IC) is provided to the terminals of “6” and “7”, and the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 are provided to the “8” terminal. VSL (DC power obtained by rectifying and smoothing AC24V) supplied to LEDs mounted on each LED board is assigned.

  Note that the “5” terminal close to the first region of the connector 603, that is, the “5” terminal on the first region side of the connector 603 is connected to the motor drive IC 601 mounted in the first region. The “9” terminal connected to the power supply pattern wiring for supplying VCC and close to the second area of the connector 603 supplies the operating power VCC to the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. The power supply pattern wiring is connected to the power supply pattern wiring to be supplied. In this manner, redundant pattern wiring is reduced for the power supply pattern wiring.

  In this embodiment, although the LED board 275 is a multilayer board, a signal wiring pattern for transmitting a motor driving serial signal and an LED driving serial signal, a terminal “5”, and “9” The wiring board for power supply to which power such as VCC is supplied and power such as VCC is connected to the multilayer substrate is formed in the same layer, but the present invention is not limited to this, By using a multi-layer board in which the signal wiring pattern and the power supply wiring pattern are formed in different layers, the adverse effects of noise, etc. from the power supply wiring pattern on the signal wiring pattern are reduced. You may make it do.

  Similarly to the connector 650 described above, the surface-mounted connector 603 has two metal fixing portions (not shown) for fixing the connector 603 to the LED board 275 by soldering at both lower portions in the longitudinal direction. On the solder surface of the LED substrate 275, a fixing pad P for soldering the metal fixing portion is formed at a position corresponding to the metal fixing portion.

  These fixed pads P are formed in a larger area than the first to thirteenth terminals in order to firmly fix the connector 603 to the LED substrate 275, and the fixed pads P formed in these wide areas In order not to obstruct the wiring pattern, unlike before the improvement shown in FIG. 23, the LED substrate 275 is formed on the outer peripheral side, that is, on the side opposite to the first region and the second region.

  Furthermore, these fixed pads P are electrically connected to GND terminals which are terminals “1”, “4”, “10”, and “13”, and “5” to “9”. GND surrounds the power supply patterns of VCC, VDL, and VSL supplied at the terminal No., and in this way, the motor is driven by noise from the power supply patterns of VCC, VDL, and VSL. “2” and “3” terminals to which the pattern wirings L2 and L3 to the IC 601 are connected, and “11” and “12” to which the pattern wirings L11 and L12 to the LED driving IC 602 are connected. Can be further reduced, and the electrical capacitance of the GND can be improved. Therefore, the “1”, “4”, “10”, “13” GND Noise reduction capability by terminals is even more It is Mel possible.

  In the present embodiment, the fixed pad P is connected to GND. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and as described above, the fixed pad P is connected to VCC, VDL, You may make it connect with any power supply pattern of VSL.

  In this embodiment, the specific electronic component mounted in the connection region 275C is exemplified as a connector. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the specific electronic component includes a plurality of specific electronic components. For example, an integrated circuit (IC) having a plurality of terminals at different positions, for example, a motor driving serial signal (S1TXD, S1SCK) or an LED driving serial signal (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) is transmitted. It may be a serial signal IC device capable of (output).

  In this embodiment, the second and third terminals to which the motor drive serial signals (S1TXD and S1SCK) are assigned and the LED drive serial signals (ASIBADDT and ASIBACLK) are assigned. By assigning the “4” and “10” terminals located between the “11” and “12” terminals to the GND, the influence of noise or the like is further reduced. The invention is not limited to this, and GND may not be assigned to a terminal between the terminal to which the motor driving serial signal is assigned and the terminal to which the LED driving serial signal is assigned. .

  In this embodiment, the terminal between the terminal to which the motor driving serial signal is allocated and the terminal to which the LED driving serial signal is allocated is used as a power source terminal such as VCC, and the motor is driven. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the motor driving serial signals are assigned. The terminal between the assigned terminal and the terminal to which the LED driving serial signal is assigned may not be the power terminal.

(Modification 12)
Here, Modification 12 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 26 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration as Modification 12 of the present invention.

  (Board noise countermeasure 1)

  For example, in the above-described rendering device 200 or the like, electronic components (for example, motor driving IC 601, driving motors 257, 273, LED driving IC 602, LED 275A) in which noise or static electricity is mounted or connected to the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250 are used. If this is adversely affected, the electronic component may malfunction.

  Therefore, as a noise countermeasure, for example, the boss 844C is not subjected to plating (or metal vapor deposition) on the boss 844C adjacent to the substrate 801 in the first effect body 800 described with reference to FIGS. 26 to prevent the front LED 810 and the LED driving IC connected to the front LED 810 from being destroyed by the discharge due to the discharge from the LED to the front LED 810 close to the boss 844C. In the case where an electronic component such as the front LED 810 (angle LED) is mounted at a position close to the boss 844C as in the present modification 12, the outer peripheral ground X is formed along the outer periphery of the substrate, and the periphery of the electronic component is A solid ground electrode Y having a relatively large area is provided so as to surround the inside of the solid ground electrode Y. By mounting electronic components and electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y at one connection point on the board 801, for example, one terminal of the board-side connector KCN, for example, from the boss 844C Even if a discharge occurs, mounting parts such as the front LED 810 and the LED driving IC may be prevented from being destroyed or malfunctioning.

  In the above-described modification 12, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected at one terminal of the board-side connector KCN, thereby electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y. Although wiring on the mounting board can be reduced, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y may be electrically connected at one connection point on the board different from the board-side connector KCN. The outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected to another substrate connected via the board-side connector KCN, or the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y have a sufficient area or the like. In the case where the influence by the noise signal is low, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are not electrically connected, A ground X and the solid ground electrodes Y may be reduced wiring on the mounting board for electrical connection.

  Further, as described above, the modified example 12 may be performed together with a measure for not performing the plating process (or metal vapor deposition) on the boss 844C. That is, both the above-described countermeasure by the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y and the countermeasure not to perform the plating process (or metal deposition) on the boss 844C may be implemented, or only one of the countermeasures may be performed. Also good.

  In the case where the shape of the substrate 801 can be changed, for example, the boss 844C and the substrate 801 are formed so that the distance between the boss 844C and the substrate 801 is separated by a sufficient distance (specific distance) that is difficult to cause discharge. May be separated by a specific distance.

  When the boss 844C is subjected to plating (or metal deposition), an electrically insulating member is interposed between the boss 844C subjected to the plating (or metal deposition) and the substrate 801. Thus, discharge from the boss 844C to the substrate 801 may be prevented.

  Thus, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the modified example 12 of the present invention, at least a part of the bosses 844A to 844E of the decorative member 803 as a conductive member having conductivity and an electronic component (for example, the front LED 810) , 812, 813, etc.) as a mounting substrate on which the bosses 844A to 844E are disposed adjacent to the outer periphery of the substrate 801, and the substrate 801 is close to the electronic component to be mounted. A solid ground electrode Y as a first ground region formed at a position, and an outer peripheral ground X as a second ground region formed between the solid ground electrode Y and an end of the substrate 801. In this way, malfunctions of electronic components mounted on the substrate 801 can be reduced.

  The outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected only at one connection point on the substrate 801 (for example, one terminal of the substrate-side connector KCN on the substrate 801). By doing so, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected, so that the malfunction of the electronic component can be further reduced, and the substrate for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y. Wiring at 801 can also be reduced.

  The board 801 is mounted with a board-side connector KCN for electrically connecting the board 801 and another board (for example, the effect control board 12). The outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are Electrical connection is made in the other substrate. Thus, by electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y, it is possible to further reduce malfunctions of electronic components, and to connect wiring on the substrate 801 for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y. It can be lost.

  The board 801 is mounted with a board-side connector KCN for electrically connecting the board 801 and another board (for example, the effect control board 12). The outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are Electrical connection is made at the board-side connector. Thus, by electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y, it is possible to further reduce malfunctions of electronic components, and to connect wiring on the substrate 801 for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y. It can be lost.

  Further, the front LED 810 (angle LED) is mounted inside the solid ground electrode Y, so that the malfunction of the front LED 810 (angle LED) can be further reduced.

  In addition, by providing an insulating member between the substrate 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E, malfunction of the electronic component can be further reduced.

  Further, by providing the substrate 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E separated by a specific distance, malfunction of the electronic component can be further reduced.

  In addition, in this modification 12, although an example of the noise countermeasure of the board | substrate 801 in the 1st effect body 800 was demonstrated, it is a conductive member (for example, surface) so that it may adjoin to the outer periphery of the LED board 275 of the movable body 250 of the said Example. In the case where the base body 255 or the like subjected to the plating process is disposed, the LED substrate 275 includes a first ground region formed at a position close to the electronic component to be mounted, and the first ground region and the mounting substrate. And a second ground region formed between the end portions of the first and second ends.

  In particular, the conductive member is adjacent to the outer periphery of the LED board 275 of the movable body 250 on which the connector 603 as an example of an electronic component to which wiring from a control unit such as the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 is connected is mounted. In the case where (for example, a base body 255 whose surface is plated) is disposed, the LED substrate 275 includes a first ground region formed at a position close to the connector 603, the first ground region, and the LED. By having the second ground region formed between the ends of the substrate 275, the control by the control means such as the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 connected to the connector 603 is affected by noise. Can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIGS. 27 to 29, the first effect body 800 includes a substrate 801 having a plurality of electronic components and wiring patterns formed on the front and rear surfaces, and a translucency disposed so as to cover the front surface of the substrate 801. A front lens member 802 made of a member, a decorative member 803 made of a non-light transmissive member arranged to cover the front surface of the front lens member 802, and a light transmissive property arranged to cover the back surface of the substrate 801. A rear lens member 804 made of a member, and is formed in a strip shape along the lower left edge of the opening formed in the board as viewed from the front.

  A plurality of electronic components including a plurality of front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 which are light emitting diodes (light emitting elements) are mounted on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. The front LEDs 810 to 812 are angle LEDs that can irradiate light along the front surface 801F in a predetermined direction, respectively, and the front LEDs 813 are LEDs that can irradiate light forward. In addition to the light-emitting diode (light-emitting element), the front surface 801F receives a serial control signal including an operation instruction output from the effect control board 12 to control lighting / extinguishing of each LED and the like. Control means such as an LED driving IC to be performed is included.

  A plurality of electronic components including a plurality of rear LEDs 820 to 822 which are light emitting diodes (light emitting elements) are mounted on the back surface 801B of the substrate 801. The rear LEDs 820 and 821 are angle LEDs that can emit light along the back surface 801B toward the right side of the substrate 801, and the rear LEDs 822 are along the back surface 801B toward the left side of the substrate 801. It is an angle LED that can irradiate light.

It has been.

  Further, notches 824A to 824E for avoiding interference with bosses 844A to 844E and fitting portions 870A to 870E, which will be described later, are formed at predetermined locations on the edge of the substrate 801. Various electronic components mounted on the front surface 801F and the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 are electronic components that are mainly connected to the effect control board 12 and controlled by the effect control CPU 120.

  The front lens member 802 is formed of a plate-shaped synthetic resin material having a size capable of covering the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. On the front surface of the front lens member 802, a first light emitting portion 830-832 formed at a position corresponding to each of the plurality of front LEDs 810-812 and a substantially circular shape in front view formed at a position corresponding to each of the plurality of front LEDs 813 The second light emitting portion 833 is formed so as to protrude forward. In addition, these 1st light emission parts 830-832 and the 2nd light emission part 833 are protruded and formed ahead so that a recessed part may be formed in a back surface. A plurality of insertion holes 834A to 834E into which bosses 844A to 844E described later are inserted are formed in the vicinity of the edge portion.

  The decorative member 803 is formed of a plate-shaped synthetic resin material having a size capable of covering the front surface of the front lens member 802. Openings 840 to 843 into which the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 can be inserted are formed at positions corresponding to the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833, respectively. Each of the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 can face forward through the openings 840 to 843.

  Cylindrical bosses 844A to 844E as protrusions that can be inserted through the insertion holes 834A to 834E of the front lens member 802 are formed so as to protrude rearward at a plurality of positions near the edge on the back surface of the decorative member 803. Has been.

  The decorative member 803 is formed of a non-conductive synthetic resin material. As shown in FIGS. 30 to 32 and FIG. 34, the conductive portions 850 (for example, the figure) are formed by performing plating treatment (metallized surface treatment) on the front and back surfaces of the regions except for the surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E. 34 is formed on the surface area of the bosses 844A to 844E, and a non-conductive portion 851 not subjected to plating (metallized surface treatment) (for example, a thick line in FIG. 34). (Not shown) is formed.

  The rear lens member 804 is formed of a plate-shaped synthetic resin material having a size that can cover the back surface B of the substrate 801. An LED opening 860 that opens the rear LED 820 to the back side is formed at a position corresponding to the rear LED 820 in the rear lens member 804, and the rear LED 821 is placed on the back side at a position corresponding to the rear LED 821. An LED opening 861 to be opened is formed, and an LED opening 862 that opens the rear LED 822 to the back side is formed at a position corresponding to the rear LED 822.

  The opening 860A is an opening in which one LED opening 860 and the LED opening 862 are integrated. A molding opening 865 is formed on the right side of each LED opening 860.

  On the left and right sides of the rear lens member 804, a plurality of concave and convex portions are formed along each side, and the light that has been guided inside the rear lens member 804 can be diffused and emitted to the outside. Diffusion portions 867L and 867R are formed. In addition, the bosses 844A to 844E can be fitted at positions corresponding to the bosses 844A to 844E on the front surface of the rear lens member 804, and fitting portions 870A to 870A to which attachment holes 871 of the screws N1 are respectively formed. 870E is formed. A mounting portion 866 for the vibration detection sensor MG is formed below the rear lens member 804.

  As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, the first effect body 800 configured as described above has a front lens member 802 and a decorative member 803 arranged on the front side of the substrate 801, and a rear lens on the back side of the substrate 801. With the member 804 disposed, the bosses 844A to 844E of the decorative member 803 are inserted into the insertion holes 834A to 834E, and the inserted bosses 844A to 844E are respectively fitted to the fitting portions 870A to 870E of the rear lens member 804. Then, the screw N1 attached to the attachment hole 871 from the back side of the rear lens member 804 is screwed into the screw holes formed at the tips of the bosses 844A to 844E, so that the substrate 801, the front lens member 802, and the decoration are assembled. The first effect body 800 is formed by integrating the member 803 and the rear lens member 804.

  30 to 32, in the state where the substrate 801, the front lens member 802, the decorative member 803, and the rear lens member 804 are integrated, the front lens member 802 is a distance from the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. The rear lens member 804 is disposed away from the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 by a distance L2 shorter than the distance L1 (L1> L2).

  Specifically, since the front LED 813 capable of emitting forward is mounted on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801, if the front lens member 802 is too close to the front LED 813, light from the front LED 813 spreads to the surroundings. The light is emitted locally through the front lens member 802 before. In order to avoid this, it is preferable to dispose the front LED 813 and the front lens member 802 at a distance longer than at least the protruding length of the front LED 813 from the front surface 801F.

  On the other hand, an LED that can emit light rearward is not mounted on the back surface 801B of the substrate 801. Further, LED openings 860 to 862 are formed at positions corresponding to the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the rear lens member 804, so that the rear lens member 804 interferes with the rear LEDs 820 to 822. And close to the substrate 801 side (see FIG. 31).

  In addition, the decorative member 803 is disposed on the front surface of the front lens member 802 so that the areas other than the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 in the front lens member 802 are covered, so that the first light emission is performed. Only the portions 830 to 832 and the second light emitting portion 833 are conspicuous.

(Light emitting structure on the front side of the first director)
Next, the light emitting structure on the front side of the first effect body 800 will be described based on FIGS. 30 and 31. FIG. 30 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG.

  In addition, since the structure of each 1st light emission part 830-832 and each 2nd light emission part 833 differs only in the shape of a member, etc., and the light emission principle is substantially the same, in FIG. 30, only about the 1st light emission part 831. A description of the first light emitting units 830 and 832 will be omitted. In FIG. 31, only one second light emitting unit 833 among the plurality of second light emitting units 833 will be described, and description of the other second light emitting units 833 will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 30, the front LED 811 is disposed slightly behind the first light emitting unit 831 on the left side. The front LED 811 emits light from the left side to the right side mainly along the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 on the back surface side of the first light emitting unit 831. However, the front LED 811 is directed toward the back surface of the first light emitting unit 831 of the front lens member 802. A part of the light is incident on the front lens member 802 because it is arranged at a distance L3, that is, close to it. The light incident on the front lens member 802 is guided while being totally reflected inside the front lens member 802, and is projected from the front surface of the first light emitting unit 831 protruding so as to face forward through the opening 841. It is emitted forward. Thereby, the first light emitting unit 831 emits light. Note that the front surface of the first light emitting portion 831 of the front lens member 802 is formed in an uneven shape, so that the light inside the front lens member 802 is emitted forward while diffusing.

  Further, the first light emitting portion 831 of the front lens member 802 is formed so as to protrude forward from the plate-like portion, and is inserted into the cylindrical opening 841 of the decorative member 803. Since the inner peripheral surface of the opening 841 is a conductive portion 850 that has been plated, the light guided from the plate-like portion to the first light emitting portion 831 side is totally reflected by the conductive portion 850. Therefore, the light inside the front lens member 802 is likely to be emitted forward.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the front LED 813 is a top-type LED that is arranged so as to be able to irradiate light from the rear position of the second light emitting unit 833 toward the front (in a direction orthogonal to the front surface 801F of the substrate 801). Since the front lens member 802 is separated from the back surface of the second light emitting unit 833 by the maximum distance L4, most of the light is incident on the back surface of the second light emitting unit 833. The light that has entered the front lens member 802 is emitted forward from the front surface of the second light emitting unit 833 that protrudes forward through the opening 843. Thereby, the second light emitting unit 833 emits light. The front surface of the second light emitting portion 833 of the front lens member 802 is formed in a dome shape, so that the light inside the front lens member 802 is emitted forward so as to spread around.

  30 and 31, when comparing the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833, the distance L3 (see FIG. 30) from the front LED 811 to the back of the first light emitting unit 831 is from the front LED 813. It is shorter than the distance L4 (see FIG. 31) to the back surface of the second light emitting unit 833 (L3 <L4).

  In the first light emitting unit 831 having a short distance L3 from the light emitting body to the light emitting unit, the front LED 811 is disposed as an angle LED at a position not corresponding to the first light emitting unit 831 and is different from the first light emitting unit 831. In the second light emitting unit 833 in which the distance L4 from the light emitter to the light emitting unit is longer than the distance L3, the front LED 813 is an angle LED. Without being arranged at a position corresponding to the second light emitting unit 833, light is directly incident on the second light emitting unit 833 to cause the second light emitting unit 833 to emit light directly.

  That is, the first light emitting unit 831 emits light in a direction (front) orthogonal to the irradiation direction (left direction) of light from the front LED 811, whereas the second light emitting unit 833 includes the front LED 813. Since the light is emitted in the same direction (front) as the direction of irradiation of light from the front (front), the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833 provided on the front surface of the decorative member 803 are different from each other in light emitting mode. Can emit light. Further, the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833 having different projecting lengths from the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 can be provided on the front surface of the decorative member 803.

(Light emitting structure on the back side of the first director)
Next, the light emitting structure on the back side of the first effect body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 32 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. FIG. 33 is a sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 34A is a rear view showing the light emission mode of the first effector, FIG. 34B is a front view showing the positional relationship between the first effector and the second effector, and FIG. 34C is the first effector. It is a schematic plan view which shows the positional relationship with a 2nd effect body.

  As shown in FIG. 32, each rear LED 820 is housed one by one in each LED opening 860 formed in the rear lens member 804, and from the left side to the right side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. It arrange | positions so that light may be irradiated to. In addition, an inclined surface portion 825 that is gradually inclined rearward toward the right side is formed on the LED opening 860 side on the peripheral surface of the molding opening 865.

  Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 820 enters the inside from the wall surface on the molding opening 865 side on the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 860, and the light incident on the inside is directed rearward by the inclined surface portion 825. And is emitted backward from between the molding opening 865 and the LED opening 860 on the back surface of the rear lens member 804.

  As shown in FIG. 33, each rear LED 821 is housed one by one in each LED opening 861 formed in the rear lens member 804, and from the left side to the right side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. It arrange | positions so that light may be irradiated to. Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 821 enters the inside from the right wall surface on the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 861, and the light incident on the inside faces the inside of the rear lens member 804 toward the right side. After being guided while being totally reflected, it is emitted from the light diffusion portion 867R.

  Further, although not particularly illustrated, each rear LED 822 is housed one by one in each LED opening 862 formed in the rear lens member 804 and left to right along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right. It arrange | positions so that light may be irradiated to. Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 821 enters the inside from the left wall surface on the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 862, and the light incident on the inside faces the inside of the rear lens member 804 toward the left side. After being guided while being totally reflected, it is emitted from the light diffusion portion 867L.

  As shown in FIG. 34A, a plurality of rear LEDs 820 are arranged in the vertical direction at a substantially central position of the left and right sides of the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, and a plurality of rear LEDs 820 are disposed near the right side of the back surface 801B. The rear LEDs 821 are arranged in the vertical direction, and a plurality of rear LEDs 822 are arranged in the vertical direction near the left side of the back surface 801B.

  When the rear LED 820 emits light, the inclined surface portion 825 between each LED opening 860 and the molding opening 865 in the rear lens member 804 emits light, and when the rear LED 821 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867R emits light. When the rear LED 822 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867L emits light. The inclined surface portion 825 and the light diffusing portions 867L and 867R can emit light toward the front and rear surfaces and the side along the substrate 801. 2 The effect body 900 can be suitably illuminated (see FIG. 34C).

  As shown in FIGS. 34B and 34C, in the present embodiment, second effect body 900 is provided on the back side of first effect body 800. Specifically, the second effect body 900 includes an origin position positioned so as to be superimposed on the back side of the first effect body 800 when viewed from the front by a drive source (not shown), an effect position diagonally right above the origin position, It is possible to move (operate) between. As shown in FIG. 34C, the second effect body 900 is arranged at a position that is a predetermined distance away from the first effect body 800 at the origin position. The director 800 can be moved in a direction along the substrate 801.

  Accordingly, when the second effect body 900 on the back side of the first effect body 800 is at the origin position, the rear LEDs 820 to 822 provided on the back surface side of the first effect body 800 are caused to emit light, thereby causing the second effect. The front side of the body 900 can be suitably illuminated. Further, even when the second effect body 900 moves to the effect position obliquely above and to the right of the origin position, the second effect body 900 can be suitably illuminated with the light from the light diffusing unit 867R.

  Further, for example, when the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are arranged so that light can be irradiated on the back side in a direction orthogonal to the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, the back lens member 804 covers the back surface 801B of the substrate 801. In this case, it is necessary to dispose the rear lens member 804 at a position farther to the rear side than the rear LEDs 820 to 822, and the front and rear dimensions of the second effect body 900 increase accordingly, as in the present embodiment. The rear LEDs 820 to 822 are arranged as angle LEDs so as to be able to irradiate in the direction along the rear surface 801B, and the light is reflected backward by the inclined surface portion 825 of the rear lens member 804 disposed close to the substrate 801. The second effect body 900 on the back side can be suitably illuminated while shortening the front-rear dimension of the second effect body 900.

(Countermeasures for board noise 2)
Next, the antistatic structure of the first effect body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 35A is a main part front view showing a state in which the first effect body is viewed through the game board, and FIG. 35B is a diagram showing main parts of the board. 36 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line E-E in FIG. FIG. 37A is a diagram showing an antistatic structure as a thirteenth modification of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 35 (A) and FIG. 36, a plurality of metal obstacle nails K are provided on the front surface of the board surface plate 2A constituting the game board 2. Each obstacle nail K is erected so as to protrude forward while being inclined in a predetermined direction with respect to the game board surface by being press-fitted into a through-hole 2d formed so as to penetrate the board surface plate 2A forward and backward. .

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 35 (A) and FIG. 36, the first effect body 800 is located on the left side of the game area 10, specifically, on the lower left side of the opening 2 c formed on the board 2 </ b> A of the game board 2. In position, it is provided so as to be close to the back surface of the board surface plate 2A. Therefore, the static electricity generated for some reason and charged in the game ball may be discharged to the first effect body 800 on the back side of the board surface plate 2A through the through hole 2d.

  The static electricity is provided on the game board surface of the board board 2A, for example, a game ball flowing down the game area 10 is replaced by the obstacle nail K, the board surface board 2A made of acrylic resin material, and the glass window 50a. Contact with an obstacle or an accessory made of a synthetic resin material, that is, when the ball flows down in the pachinko gaming machine 1 and is charged to the gaming ball, or the gaming ball is outside the pachinko gaming machine 1 It may be caused by a charged game ball entering the pachinko gaming machine 1 while circulating in a game island or the like. Furthermore, it is charged by friction generated by movement of a movable object other than the game ball such as an operable accessory such as the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, the rendering device 200, or the second rendering body 900. It is also possible.

  Here, when the plating process is performed over the entire front and back surfaces including the peripheral surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E in the decorative member 803 of the first effect body 800, and the front and back surfaces are conductive portions, the discharged electricity is It is conceivable that the decorative member 803 goes from the front side to the back side (back side) and further goes to the peripheral surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E.

  As shown in FIGS. 35B and 36, the bosses 844A to 844E protrude on the back side of the substrate 801 and are located on the sides of the notches 824A to 824E formed on the substrate 801. There is a possibility that electricity that wraps around from the front surface side to the back surface side of the decorative member 803 is discharged to the substrate 801 side through the bosses 844A to 844E.

  As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 36, the periphery of the bosses 844A to 844E is covered with a front lens member 802 and a rear lens member 804 that are non-conductive members. If there is even a gap (not shown) between the periphery of the insertion holes 834A to 834E and the fitting portions 870A to 870E of the rear lens member 804, electric discharge is generated from the gap to the substrate 801 side.

  And when it discharges to the board | substrate 801 side in this way, electricity flows into the wiring pattern formed in the surface 800F of the board | substrate 801, and light emission of front LED810-812,813 or this front LED810-812,813 mounted in the surface 800F A malfunction (for example, inability to emit light, abnormal color development, abnormal emission control, etc.) occurs in an electronic component such as an LED driving IC that performs control or (control means), and particularly as shown in FIG. 36, the surface 800F of the substrate 801 There is a possibility that the front LED 810 disposed near the boss 844C in the battery is directly discharged to cause a problem in the front LED 810.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 36, the bosses 844A to 844E protruding toward the substrate 801 are formed with non-conductive portions 851 that are not plated on the surface. The electricity that has sneak to the back side of the member 804 is less likely to be discharged to the substrate 801 side via the bosses 844A to 844E that protrude to the substrate 801 side, which may cause problems with various electronic components mounted on the surface 800F. It can suppress suitably.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, electronic components (for example, front LEDs 810 to 812, 813, rear LEDs 820 to 822, connector KCN, conversion IC, etc.) are mounted. And a decorative member 803 disposed so as to cover the front surface 801F that is the mounting surface of the electronic component on the substrate 801. The decorative member 803 has conductive portions 850 on the front and back surfaces. The bosses 844A to 844E are formed as protrusions that protrude toward the substrate 801, and the bosses 844A to 844E have a non-conductive portion 851 on the substrate 801 side.

  By doing in this way, it can suppress that a malfunction arises in an electronic component by the discharge from the electroconductive part 850. FIG.

  Specifically, the static electricity charged on the obstacle nail K is discharged to the conductive portion 850 of the decoration member 803, so that the static electricity charged on the game ball is transferred to the conductive portion 850 of the decoration member 803 via the conductive obstacle nail K. Since it can escape, it can suppress that a game ball is charged with static electricity. Further, in the decorative member 803, the bosses 844A to 844E protrude toward the substrate 801 as compared with other portions, that is, close to the substrate 801, but the surface of the bosses 844A to 844E is subjected to plating treatment. Since the non-conductive portion 851 is formed without being applied, it is possible to suitably suppress the electricity that has entered the back side of the decorative member 803 from being discharged to the substrate 801 side through the bosses 844A to 844E.

  In addition, since the front lens member 802 made of a non-conductive member is disposed between the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 and the back surface of the decoration member 803, the electricity that wraps around to the back surface side of the decoration member 803 is boss. It is possible to suppress discharge to the front side of the substrate 801 without passing through 844A to 844E.

  Further, the bosses 844A to 844E are inserted through the insertion holes 834A to 834E of the front lens member 802 made of a non-conductive member on the tip side, and protrude toward the substrate 801 from the front lens member 802. Since the non-conductive portion 851 is formed on the surface of the distal end portion, it is possible to prevent electricity from flowing to a portion protruding to the substrate 801 side from the front lens member 802.

  The electronic component is a light emitting diode (for example, front LEDs 810 to 812, 813, etc.). By doing in this way, it can suppress that a malfunction arises in light emission. In particular, angle LEDs such as the front side LEDs 810 to 812 can irradiate light on a member close to the edge of the substrate, and thus are often arranged closer to the periphery of the substrate than the top type LED. Therefore, even in such a case, even when the front LED 810 that is an angle LED is disposed in the vicinity of the bosses 844A to 844E, static electricity can be suppressed from being discharged to the substrate 801 through the bosses 844A to 844E.

  The electronic component is a connector (for example, a board-side connector KCN). By doing in this way, it can suppress that a malfunction arises not only in the electronic component of the front surface 801F of the board | substrate 801 in which a connector is mounted, but the tip electronic component connected via the connector. In particular, the connector is often arranged near the periphery of the substrate so that the wiring connected to the connector does not follow the mounting surface. Therefore, even in such a case, even when the front LED 810 that is an angle LED is disposed in the vicinity of the bosses 844A to 844E, static electricity can be suppressed from being discharged to the substrate 801 through the bosses 844A to 844E.

  The substrate 801 is mounted with control means (for example, a conversion IC) that controls other electronic components including the electronic components. In this way, not only the electronic components mounted on the substrate 801 but also other electronic components such as, for example, a problem occurs in the control of other electronic components mounted on another substrate connected to the substrate 801. It is possible to suppress adverse effects on parts.

  Further, a front lens member 802 as a non-conductive member is provided between the decorative member 803 and the substrate 801, and the front lens member 802 can guide light from the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 provided on the substrate 801. It is a light guide member (translucent member).

  By doing in this way, the discharge from the decoration member 803 to the board | substrate 801 can be suppressed using the front side lens member 802 which is a light guide member which can guide | emit the light from front side LED810-812,813.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the front side LEDs 810-812, 813, the rear side LEDs 820-822, the board | substrate side connector KCN, conversion IC, etc. were illustrated as an example of an electronic component, this invention is limited to this. However, it includes various other electronic components such as detection means such as sensors, drive sources such as motors and solenoids, storage means such as ROM and RAM, protective resistors, diodes, and capacitors.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although electronic components, such as front LED810-812,813, rear LED820-822, board | substrate side connector KCN, were connected to the production control board 12, this invention is shown to this. It is not limited, It may be connected to boards (for example, main board 11 etc.) other than presentation control board 12, and control means (for example, CPU103 etc.).

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the form in which the electroconductive part 850 was formed by plating the surface (front-and-rear surface) of the decoration member 803 was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, For example, the conductive member may be formed on the surface by forming the decorative member 803 with a synthetic resin material having conductivity by mixing carbon fiber or the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, the bosses 844A to 844E into which the screw N1 for integrating the decorative member 803 and the rear lens member 804 covering the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 are screwed are applied as the protrusions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the members are integrated as described above as long as the portion protrudes from the decorative member 803 toward the substrate 801 than the other portions. A protrusion other than the boss into which the screw is screwed (for example, a positioning boss for determining the mounting position of the substrate 801 or another member with respect to the decorative member 803) may be applied.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the boss | hub 844A-844E as a protrusion part illustrated the form which has the protrusion length which passes the side of the board | substrate 801 and reaches the back surface 801B side, this invention is limited to this. The protrusion may be any protrusion that protrudes closer to the substrate 801 than the other part of the decorative member. For example, the protrusion is formed from the position corresponding to the front surface 801F of the decorative member 803. You may protrude so that it may adjoin or contact | abut to 801F.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the form in which the nonelectroconductive part 851 was formed in the surface of the boss | hub 844A-844E as a protrusion part was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The surface of a protrusion part As long as the non-conductive portion 851 is formed in at least a portion corresponding to the substrate 801, the conductive portion 850 may be formed in other regions.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the decoration member 803 illustrated the form arrange | positioned close to the back side of the board 2A of the game board 2, this invention is not limited to this, A decoration member May be arranged at a position other than the above.

  In the above embodiment, the decorative member 803 is exemplified to be disposed so as to cover the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the decorative member 803 is not limited to the substrate 801. It may be arranged so as to cover the back surface 801B.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as an embodiment of the present invention, a first effect body 800 having a substrate 801 provided with a light emitter (for example, rear LEDs 820 to 822) on the back surface 801B, and a substrate 801 The second effector 900 operable on the back surface 801B side of the second effector 900 can be irradiated with the light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822.

  By doing so, there is no need to mount the substrate 801 on which the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are mounted on the operable second effect body 900. It becomes possible to produce.

  In addition, the second effect body 900 is movable in a direction (for example, the left-right direction) along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, and the rear LEDs 820 to 822 emit light toward the moving direction of the second effect body 900. Is possible. Specifically, when the rear LED 821 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867R emits light, and when the rear LED 822 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867L emits light. Since the inclined surface portion 825 and the light diffusing portions 867L and 867R can emit light sideways along the back surface and the substrate 801, they move from the back surface and the origin position to the effect position side diagonally right above. The second effect body 900 can be illuminated appropriately.

  By doing in this way, even when the 2nd production body 900 moves to the side of the 1st production body 800, light can be irradiated suitably.

  In the present embodiment, the right light diffusing unit 867R emits light by the rear LED 821, so that the second effect body 900 that has moved from the origin position to the effect position diagonally right above can be suitably illuminated. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and although not particularly illustrated, the light from the rear LED 821 is moved to the right-side effect position without guiding the rear lens member 804. The directing body 900 may be directly illuminated.

  Further, a rear lens member 804 is provided as a light guide member that can cover at least a part of the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 and has LED openings 860 to 862 that can accommodate the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the covered state. The rear LEDs 820 to 822 can enter light into the rear lens member 804 from the side surfaces (peripheral walls) of the LED openings 860 to 862 in a state of being accommodated in the LED openings 860 to 862 (FIG. 32). reference).

  In this way, the rear lens member 804 that guides light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 can be used to cover the substrate 801, and the rear lens member 804 is disposed close to the substrate 801. Therefore, the thickness dimension in the front-rear direction of the first effect body 800 can be reduced.

  Therefore, for example, when the rear side second effect body 900 can be illuminated by the rear LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800, the front-rear dimension between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5 is set. Even when there is a restriction, the first effect body 800 and the second effect body 900 are moved back and forth between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5 by reducing the thickness dimension in the front-rear direction of the first effect body 800 as much as possible. Can be arranged to overlap.

  In the present embodiment, the LED openings 860 to 862 are formed at positions corresponding to the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the rear lens member 804, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the rear lens member 804 is made close to the substrate 801 by forming a recess capable of accommodating the rear LEDs 820 to 822 at positions corresponding to the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the rear lens member 804. Also good.

  In addition, the rear lens member 804 has an inclined surface portion 825 as a reflection portion that reflects incident light toward the second effect body 900 at a position near the LED openings 860 to 862.

  In this way, light emitted from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the direction along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 can be reflected to the back surface side, so that the protruding dimension of the substrate 801 from the back surface 801B is a normal LED. The second effect body 900 on the back side can be suitably illuminated while reducing the thickness dimension in the front-rear direction of the first effect body 800 using a smaller angle LED.

  Further, the rear lens member 804 includes light diffusion portions 867L and 867R as light emitting portions that emit light by light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 that are incident on the inside from the LED openings 860 to 862.

  By doing in this way, since the light irradiated from rear side LED820-822 can be made to circulate around and it can be made to light, a production effect can be heightened.

  In addition, front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 different from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are provided on the front surface 801F opposite to the back surface 801B of the substrate 801.

  By doing in this way, the front side of the 1st production body 800 can also be made to shine suitably.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the 2nd effect body 900 is arrange | positioned so that operation | movement is possible on the back side of the 1st effect body 800, and the 2nd effect body 900 on the back side is arranged by rear LED820-822 of the 1st effect body 800. Although the form which illuminates suitably was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, The 2nd effect body 900 is arrange | positioned at the front side of the 1st effect body 800 so that operation | movement is possible, and front LED810 of the 1st effect body 800 You may enable it to illuminate suitably the 2nd effect body 900 of the front side by ~ 812,813.

  In the embodiment, the second effect body 900 is movable in the direction along the substrate 801 between the origin position on the back side of the first effect body 800 and the effect position diagonally right above the origin position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the mode of operation of the second rendering body 900 is arbitrary, not only being movable in the left-right direction, but also in the front-rear direction, the up-down direction. It may be movable.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the form which illuminates the 2nd effect body 900 by reflecting the light from back LED820-822 of the 1st effect body 800 in the back by the inclined surface part 825 of the rear lens member 804 is illustrated. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800 may not be angle LEDs, but may be light emitters that can emit light toward the back side.

  In the above embodiment, the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is exemplified by the back lens member 804. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is the back lens. The member 804 may not be covered. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 1st effect body 800 illustrated the form fixed to the predetermined position of the back side of the game board 2, this invention is not limited to this, 1st effect Body 800 may be operably provided.

  Also, a first effect body 800 having a substrate 801 provided with a light emitter (for example, rear LEDs 820 to 822) on the back surface 801B, and a second effect body 900 operable on the back surface 801B side of the substrate 801. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 that can irradiate the second effect body 900 with light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822, for example, the surface on the first effect body 800 side is subjected to metallized surface treatment such as plating or metal deposition. The second effect body 900 is provided with a projecting portion projecting toward the substrate 801 side of the first effect body 800 so that the projecting portion passes near the periphery of the substrate 801 in accordance with the operation of the second effect body 900. In this case, it is preferable to form a non-conductive portion on the surface of the protruding portion. By doing in this way, the electric component (for example, back 801B etc.) mounted in the back surface 801B side of the board | substrate 801 of the 1st effect body 800 arises by the discharge from the protrusion part of the 2nd effect body 900. Can be suppressed.

  Further, in the substrate 801, a first ground region formed at a position close to an electronic component to be mounted (for example, the back surface 801B), and a first ground region formed between the first ground region and the peripheral portion of the substrate 801. You may make it have 2 ground area | regions. By doing in this way, when the protrusion part of the 2nd effect body 900 approaches the periphery of the board | substrate 801 of the 1st effect body 800 according to operation | movement, the static electricity which is charged to the protrusion part of the 2nd effect body 900 Even when electric discharge is generated on the substrate 801 of the first effect body 800, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of problems in the electronic components (for example, the back surface 801B) mounted on the back surface 801B side of the substrate 801 of the first effect body 800.

(Modification 13)
Next, Modification 13 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 37A is a diagram showing a wiring connection state between the LED board and the effect control board, and FIG. 37B is a diagram showing a wiring connection state between the LED board and the effect control board as the modification 13 of the present invention. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 37 (A), for example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the modified example 13 includes an LED substrate 910 on which LEDs 911 are mounted on one side as a light-emitting body for holding display or decoration. The LED board 910 and the effect control board 12 are connected to each other via a wiring 912. As shown in FIG. 37B, the LED substrate 910 and a part of the wiring 912 extending from the back side of the LED substrate 910 are covered with a decorative member 913 that opens on the back side. On the surface of the decorative member 913, a conductive portion 914 is formed by plating.

  When the periphery of part of the wiring 912 is thus covered with the decorative member 913 having the conductive portion 914 provided on the surface, as described above, static electricity charged in the conductive portion 914 is generated in the LED substrate 910. Since the mounting surface 910F of the LED 911 and the LED 911 may be discharged, the front side of the LED substrate 910 is covered with a lens member 915 made of a non-conductive member.

  In addition, since part of the wiring 912 extending from the back side of the LED substrate 910 is covered with the conductive portion 914, static electricity charged in the conductive portion 914 is discharged to the wiring 912, thereby producing an effect control board. Since the LED drive control signal output from 12 is easily affected by noise, the position corresponding to the conductive portion 914 in the wiring 912 is placed on an electrically insulating material such as a tube made of a rubber material made of a non-conductive stop member. By covering with 916, a non-conductive member is disposed between the wiring 912 and the conductive portion 914, so that the LED drive control signal output from the effect control board 12 is less affected by noise. it can.

(Movable body initialization process)
Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process shown in FIG. 38 when the power is turned on. In the main process, first, a first initialization process (S50) for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining an activation control activation interval (for example, 2 ms) Then, a second initialization process is performed for returning the movable bodies 250 and 900 to the origin positions and confirming the operation (S51). Thereafter, the effect control CPU 120 proceeds to a loop process for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets a timer interrupt flag by the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (turned on) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing (S54). In the command analysis process, it is analyzed which command (see FIG. 3) is the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the reception command buffer. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by an interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and stored in a buffer area formed in the RAM. And the process etc. which set the flag according to the received production control command are performed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from the processes corresponding to the control state, and display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an effect random number update process for updating the counter value for generating effect random numbers such as jackpot symbol determination random numbers is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 39 is a flowchart showing the second initialization process (S51) of the present embodiment. In the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the movable body to be operated first based on the setting data (S101). The setting data includes the order data of the movable bodies. In this embodiment, the order of the movable body 250 → the second rendering body 900 → the third movable body (not shown) is preset as the order. Yes. Therefore, when S101 is first executed, the movable body 250 is specified as the target movable body.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the movable body identified in S101 is an origin detection target accessory that requires origin detection (S102).

  In the present embodiment, the origin detection target object that needs to perform origin detection corresponds to the movable body 250 having the origin detection sensor and the second effect body 900 having the origin detection sensor. The 3rd movable body (not shown) which does not have is not applicable. Therefore, when the movable body specified in S101 is the movable body 250 or the second effect body 900, the determination is “Y”, while the movable body specified in S101 is the third movable body (not shown). ), It is determined as “N”.

  When it is determined “N” in S102, the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if “Y” is determined in S102, the process proceeds to S103, where the detection state of the origin detection sensor corresponding to the action subject is specified (S103), and whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state or not. That is, it is determined whether or not the target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position) (S104).

  If it is not located at the origin position (initial position) (S104; N), the process proceeds to S105, and after setting the non-detection operation number counter for counting the number of times of non-detection operation control execution, 0 is set. (S105) As the control speed for operating the object to be operated, the operation object is the same operation speed as the minimum speed (see FIGS. 41 and 42) in the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initialization operation control) described later. A minimum control speed for operating the accessory is set (S106), and if the drive motor of the operation subject is, for example, the operation subject is the movable body 250, the drive motor starts to be driven in the direction of the origin position. (S107) The timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S108). Note that the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer may be performed, for example, by counting the number of signals output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized by the first initialization process. .

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state for monitoring whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state and whether the non-detection operation period timer has reached a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S109, S110).

  When the drive device (for example, drive motor) of the operation target object is driven in the direction of the origin position, the operation object combination is located at the origin position (initial position) and the origin detection sensor enters the detection state. The driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, when the non-detection operation period timer becomes a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, when the operation subject is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S112 is performed. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S112), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S113).

  If the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S113, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, the origin return error of the operation subject is stored (S114), and S130. Proceed to That is, in the non-detection operation control, when the operation target combination is not located at the origin position (initial position), the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later is not performed on the operation target combination ( The origin return error is stored in order to set the action subject to a dead end state, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, the operation target accessory is illustrated as being in a dead end state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, error processing is started and the second initialization is performed by executing the error processing. When the process is interrupted, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 (such as the effect control CPU 120) may not be activated (dead end state).

  In addition, when the acting object is set to the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 is an input signal indicating that the movable body is operated (for example, It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of the detection signal of the effect button, etc., or preventing the movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, if the value of the non-detection operation number counter has not reached the number of operation error determinations, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, the process returns to S106, and the process of S106 to S108 is performed again to perform the operation. The operation (moving control at the time of non-detection) of moving the target accessory to the origin position at the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) is started, and the monitoring state of S109 and S110 described above is entered. Transition.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S110 that the error determination time has elapsed, an operation (non-detection operation control) of repeatedly moving the object to be operated to the origin position (initial position) is executed until the operation error determination count is reached. If the action subject is detected at the origin position (initial position) during the operation, the process proceeds to S130 without proceeding to S114.

  On the other hand, if “Y” is determined in S104 and the process proceeds to S120, 0 is set in the detection operation number counter, and then the detection operation process data is set (S121a). The timer count is started (S121b). Note that the timer count of the operation process timer at the time of detection is the same as the timer count of the operation period timer at the time of non-detection described above, of the signal output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized by the first initialization process. This may be done by counting the number. In addition, in the operation process data at the time of detection of the present embodiment, the minimum speed (FIG. 41, FIG. 41), as the control speed for operating the object to be operated, will be described. The minimum control speed for operating the object to be operated at the same operation speed as that in FIG. 42 is described (set).

  Next, the operating object is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the set detection-time operation process data (S122), and it is determined whether or not the process data is completed (S123). If the operation is not completed, the process returns to S122, and the operation subject is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the operation process data at the time of detection.

  As described above, in the operation control at the time of detection, until the operation process data at the time of detection is completed, the minimum speed based on the minimum control speed set in the operation process data at the time of detection, that is, the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initial At a minimum speed in the control operation), an operation of once leaving the origin position (initial position) and returning from the position away from the origin position (initial position) to the origin position (initial position) is performed (see FIG. 41). The position away from the origin position is a position in the vicinity of the origin position, that is, a position where the detected part of each movable body cannot be detected by each origin sensor, and is a predetermined position (detection) closer to the origin position than each effect position. Hour operating position).

  When it is determined in S123 that the set operation process data at the time of detection is completed, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S124, and whether or not the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. That is, it is determined (confirmed) whether or not the action subject is located at the origin position (initial position).

  When the origin detection sensor is in a detection state, that is, when the operation subject is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S130.

  On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the operation subject is not located at the origin position (initial position), 1 is added to the operation count counter during detection (S126). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3) (S127). When the value of the operation number counter at the time of detection reaches the number of operation error determinations, the process proceeds to S128 to store the origin return error of the operation target object (S128) and proceeds to S130. That is, when the operation target object is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the operation control at the time of detection, the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later is not executed for the operation object combination (the operation concerned) The origin return error is stored in order to set the target accessory to the dead end state, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S127, an example is given in which the target object to be operated is in a dead end state. However, when the value of the detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, error processing is started and the error processing is executed, whereby the second initialization process is performed. By being interrupted, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 may be in a state where it does not start (dead end state).

  In addition, when the acting object is set to the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated. It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of the detection signal, etc., or preventing the movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  In S130 executed when “N” is determined in S102, “Y” is determined in S109, or “Y” is determined in S124, the movable body is not yet an operation target. It is determined whether or not there is a remaining movable body, and when there is no remaining movable body (specifically, when the operation subject is a third movable body (not shown)), FIG. It shifts to the process which performs the operation control for actual operation confirmation shown in FIG. On the other hand, if there are remaining movable bodies, the process proceeds to S131, the movable body to be operated next is specified, then the process returns to S102, and the above-described processing after S102 is performed for the specified operation target combination. Do the same.

  In the case where S131 is executed when the operation target combination is the movable body 250, the second effect body 900 is specified as the operation target combination based on the setting data, and the operation target combination is the second effect. When S131 is executed in the case of the body 900, the third movable body (not shown) is specified as the action target object based on the setting data.

  Next, the process shown in FIG. 40 will be described. First, in S200 shown in FIG. 40, the effect control CPU 120 first checks the operation based on the setting data (the object to be checked) as in S101 described above. Is identified (S200). Next, it is determined whether or not there is a storage of the origin return error of the target accessory (S201).

  If there is a storage of the return-to-origin error of the object to be confirmed, the process proceeds to S220 without executing the processes from S202a to S213. By doing so, in this embodiment, the operation control for actual operation confirmation is not performed for the movable body that is determined to have the origin return error in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control. .

  On the other hand, if there is no storage of the return-to-origin error of the confirmation target accessory, the process proceeds to S202a, and the actual operation confirmation process data corresponding to the confirmation target accessory is set. That is, if the object to be confirmed is the movable body 250, the process data for confirming the actual operation of the movable body 250 is set. If the object to be confirmed is the second effect body 900, the actual operation of the second effect body 900 is set. Process data for confirmation is set, and if the object to be confirmed is a third movable body (not shown), process data for actual operation confirmation of the third movable body (not shown) is set. In each actual operation check process data, the control speed and the like are described (set) so that the movable body performs the same operation as that actually performed in the movable body effect in the production.

  Next, the timer count of the process timer for actual operation confirmation is started (S202b). The timer count of the actual operation confirmation process timer is a signal output at regular intervals from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process, like the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above. This may be done by counting the number of

  Then, in the set process data for actual operation confirmation, the object to be confirmed is operated at a control speed set corresponding to the timer count value of the process timer for actual operation confirmation (S203), and the process data is completed. (S204) If the process data has not been completed, the process returns to S203, and the object to be confirmed is set in accordance with the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer at that time. Operate based on the controlled speed.

  In this way, until the actual operation check process data is completed, the object to be checked is operated at the control speed set in the actual operation check process data corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer. By doing so, it is possible to sequentially change the control speed of the object to be confirmed in time series, and perform the same acceleration or deceleration as the control speed set when actually operating the movable body in the movable body effect. it can.

  If it is determined in step S204 that the set process data for actual operation confirmation has been completed, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, and whether or not the target combination is an origin target combination. Is determined (S204a). If the target combination is not the origin detection target combination, that is, if the third movable body (not shown), the process proceeds to S220. If the target combination is the third movable body (not shown), the process proceeds to S222. move on. On the other hand, if the target combination is an origin detection target combination, that is, if it is the movable body 250 or the second effect body 900, whether or not the origin detection sensor is in a detection state, that is, the operation target combination is It is determined (confirmed) whether or not it is located at the origin position (initial position) (S205).

  If the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, if the object to be confirmed is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the object to be confirmed is not located at the origin position (initial position), the non-detection operation control described above is performed (see FIG. 39). Steps S206 to S213 are performed in order to place the target combination at the origin position (initial position).

  Specifically, after setting 0 in the non-detection operation frequency counter for counting the number of times of non-detection operation control execution (S206), the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) is set as the control speed. Is set to the minimum control speed for operating the object to be operated at the same operation speed as the minimum speed (S207), and if the object to be confirmed is a movable object 250, for example, the driving is performed. The motor is started to drive in the direction of the origin position (initial position) (S208), and the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S209).

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state for monitoring whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state and whether the non-detection operation period timer has reached a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S210, S211).

  When the target accessory is positioned at the origin position (initial position) by driving the target accessory drive device (for example, drive motor) in the direction of the origin position (initial position), and the origin detection sensor enters the detection state. Is determined as “Y” in S210 and proceeds to S220. On the other hand, if the non-detection operation period timer has a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the subject to be confirmed is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S212. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S212), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S213).

  If the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number, the process proceeds to S220. In this embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the number of operation error determinations in S213, an example is given in which the action target object is in a dead end state. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S213, the origin return error of the operation target object is stored, and the operation target object is stored. Thereafter, the actual operation may not be executed. Alternatively, by starting the error process and executing the error process, the second initialization process is interrupted, whereby the effect control main process is interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 is not activated. (Dead end state) may be set.

  In addition, when the acting object is set to the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated. It is preferable to execute a process of invalidating the reception of the detection signal, etc., or preventing the movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, if the value of the non-detection operation count counter has not reached the operation error determination count, the process returns to S207, and the processing of S207, S208, and S209 is performed again, so that the subject to be confirmed is confirmed as the actual operation. The operation to move to the origin position (initial position) at the lowest speed in the operation control (long initialization operation control) (the operation at the time of returning to the origin) is started, and the monitoring state of S210 and S211 described above is entered.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S211 that the error determination time has elapsed, an operation (non-detection operation control) is performed to repeatedly move the target object to the origin position (initial position) until the operation error determination count is reached. If the target combination is detected at the origin position (initial position) during this time, the process proceeds to S220.

  In S220 executed when “Y” is determined in S201, “N” is determined in S204a, “Y” is determined in S205, or “Y” is determined in S210. , It is determined whether there are any remaining movable bodies that are not yet confirmed for operation confirmation, and if there are no remaining movable bodies (specifically, In the case of three movable bodies (not shown), the error record stored in S114 and S128 is cleared (S222), and the process ends. On the other hand, if there are remaining movable bodies, S221 Then, after specifying the movable body whose operation is to be checked next, the process returns to S201, and the above-described processing from S201 onward is similarly executed for the specified target object.

  Here, the operation mode and control contents of the movable body by executing the second initialization process shown in FIGS. 39 and 40 will be described with reference to FIGS. 41 and 42. FIG. 41 is a schematic explanatory diagram illustrating operation modes of the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control performed by the effect control CPU 120. 42A is an explanatory diagram showing the control speed in the actual operation check operation control, FIG. 42B is an explanatory diagram showing the control speed in the detection-time operation control, and FIG. 42C is the control speed in the non-detection-time operation control. It is explanatory drawing which shows.

  41 and 42, the non-detection operation control (short initialization operation control) and the detection operation control (short initialization operation control) in the movable body 250 and the second effect body 900 which are the origin detection target objects. ) And actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) will be described, and description of the third movable body (not shown) that is not the origin detection target character will be omitted. In addition, the reciprocating operation distance (rotation range) of the first movable unit 302 of the movable body 250 and the reciprocating operation distances (movement range) of the second movable units 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900 are not the same, For convenience of explanation, description will be made using the same conceptual diagram.

  As shown in FIG. 41, the first movable portion 302 of the movable body 250 and the second movable portions 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900 reciprocate between the origin position (retracted position, initial position) and the effect position, respectively. The forward movement from the origin position to the production position and the backward movement from the production position to the origin position are actual operations that are actually performed in the above-described movable body production or the like.

  When the second initialization process is executed, the effect control CPU 120 detects that the detected part of the movable body is not detected by the origin detection sensor, that is, the movable body has an origin for some reason (for example, when transported or installed on a game island) If it has moved from its position, or if it cannot return to its original position during the previous operation (for example, when performing a production, the return to origin of the movable body could not be confirmed or operated due to motor step-out, failure, or catching) Corresponding to non-detection operation control in FIG. 41 (for example, when an object error (operation abnormality) such as disappearing occurs) or when moving from the origin position due to vibration of a gaming machine) If it is at a predetermined position between the origin position and the production position (such as a position indicated by a black circle), non-detection operation control for returning to the origin is executed.When this non-detection operation control is executed, the movable body is at a position away from the origin position, and therefore, the operation is only an operation of moving the movable body in the direction of the origin position.

  In addition, when the second initialization process is executed, the production control CPU 120 uses the origin detection sensor to detect the first movable part 302 of the movable body 250 and the second movable parts 401 and 402 of the second production body 900. When detected, the operation control at the time of detection is executed.

  For example, in order to ensure that the detected part is detected by the origin detection sensor, a predetermined period between the time when the detected part is detected by the origin detection sensor and the operation of the movable body in the direction of the origin position is restricted. When an operable range (for example, play) is set, the origin may return and stop at a position shifted further to the back than the position detected by the origin detection sensor. Therefore, even when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, operation control during detection is performed to return the movable body to the more accurate origin position.

  In this operation control at the time of detection, it is necessary to move the movable body to a position away from the origin position and then return to the origin position to temporarily release the detection state of the detected part by the origin detection sensor. Since it is not necessary to move the movable body, the movable body is moved from the origin position to the detection operation position in the vicinity of the origin position, and then returned to the origin position. That is, the reciprocating operation is performed at a shorter distance than the actual operation (see FIGS. 18A and 18B).

  Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes non-detection operation control or detection operation control in the second initialization process, and then executes actual operation confirmation operation control. The operation control for actual operation confirmation is the same operation as the actual operation that the movable body actually performs in various effects.

  Next, the control speeds set when the performance control CPU 120 executes non-detection operation control, detection operation control, and actual operation confirmation operation control will be compared. Note that the speeds shown in FIGS. 42A, 42B, and 42C are control speeds set by the effect control CPU 120 to operate each movable body, and the actual speed of the movable body. The operating speed is different. That is, for example, when a predetermined movable body is operated, even when the same control speed is set for one movement section and another movement section between the origin position and the effect position, one movement section and another movement section When the movement section is different (for example, a section with and without a spring, a straight section and a curved section), or when moving up and down in the same moving section, the movable body is actually operated. In some cases, the operating speed may be different from the control speed. In addition, even if the same control speed is set for the movable body, if there is a difference in the size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body, the actual operation speed of each movable body is not necessarily It will not be the same. When operating multiple movable bodies with stepping motors of the same performance, the size, weight, operating mode, operating distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body, even if the same control speed is set for each movable body When there is a difference, the actual operation speed of each movable body is not necessarily the same.

  As shown in FIG. 42 (A), when executing the actual operation check operation control, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer in the set actual operation check process data. The object to be confirmed is operated based on the set control speed. Specifically, control is performed to accelerate after the origin position and then decelerate to stop at the effect position, and to accelerate after the effect position to decelerate and stop to the origin position. That is, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation for confirming that each movable body can operate normally, the control speed of the movable body is changed in the order of low speed → high speed → low speed between the origin position and the production position. Let In other words, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the movable body effect of each movable body, the range between the minimum speed (low speed) as the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed faster than the minimum speed. In order to control each movable body to operate at the internal speed, even when the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed, the minimum speed (low speed) that is the first speed and the second speed that is faster than the minimum speed are used. Control is performed so that each movable body operates at a speed within the range of the maximum speed (high speed).

  That is, the minimum speed as the first speed and the maximum speed as the second speed are actual operating speeds of the movable body, and the control speed is set to be the minimum speed and the maximum speed as the operating speed. Will be. In the following description, it is assumed that when the movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed, it operates at the minimum speed, and when the movable body is operated based on the maximum control speed, it operates at the maximum speed. To do.

  Here, the control speed is set so that the operation speed at the time of acceleration and deceleration of the movable body becomes the minimum speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. In addition, when returning to the origin position after moving to the production position, the movable body can be reliably secured by controlling to the lowest speed in the action control for actual operation confirmation over a longer time than when stopping at the production position. The detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor after the vehicle is decelerated.

  As shown in FIG. 42 (B), when executing the operation control at the time of detection, the CPU 120 for effect control always confirms the actual operation in the period for moving from the origin position to the effect position and the period for moving from the effect position to the origin position. The movable body is controlled to operate at the minimum speed (first speed) in the operation control. In other words, the effect control CPU 120 has a maximum speed in the detection-time operation control as the first operation control that is equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (in this embodiment, the actual operation The control is performed such that the movable body is operated based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation confirmation operation control so that the speed is always the same as the minimum speed in the confirmation operation control.

  In the case of motion control during detection, the moving distance of the movable body is shorter than that for motion control for actual motion check. Check the actual operation because the sensor may not be able to detect the detected part reliably, or the movable body may be damaged due to impact when the movable body returns to the home position from a short distance and the movement is restricted. Control to operate at the lowest speed in operation control.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 42 (C), when performing the non-detection operation control, the effect control CPU 120 is always in a period of moving from an arbitrary position between the origin position and the effect position to the origin position. Control is performed so as to operate at the minimum speed (first speed) in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. That is, the effect control CPU 120 has a maximum speed (maximum operation speed) in the non-detection operation control as the first operation control that is equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (this implementation). In this mode, the movable body is always operated based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation check operation control so that the same speed as the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control is obtained. To control.

  In this case, since it is unclear how far the movable body is from the origin position, if the movable body is located in the vicinity of the origin position, the control speed when accelerating in the operation control for actual operation confirmation In other words, when operated at high speed, when the movable body returns to the origin position, the origin detection sensor cannot reliably detect the detected part, or the movable body returns to the origin position from a short distance and the movement is restricted. Since there is a possibility that the movable body or the like may be damaged due to an impact, control is performed so as to operate at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the performance control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control as the first operation control, the minimum control speed set in the actual operation check operation control. Based on the above, control is performed so that the movable body always operates at a single (constant) operation speed. These minimum speeds are the minimum speeds in the operation control for actual operation confirmation corresponding to each movable body, and are not the operation speeds common to each movable body, and therefore the minimum speeds in each movable body may be different.

  Specifically, since the movable body 250 and the second rendering body 900 are different in size, weight, operation mode, operation distance, and drive mechanism including the drive motor, the movable body even when the same control speed is set. The actual operating speed is different. Even when different control speeds are set for each movable body, the actual operation speed of the movable body is different. As described above, the minimum speed is an operation speed based on the control speed set for each movable body. It is possible to reliably detect at the origin position.

The light emitting diode 57f emits light when at least one of the power supply line VCC1 or the power supply line VCC2 is connected to the connector 57e and the power supply VCC is supplied to various circuits on the shielding unit control board 57d, while the connector 57e Neither the power supply line VCC1 nor the power supply line VCC2 is connected, and no light is emitted when the power supply VCC is not supplied to various circuits on the shielding unit control board 57d. Whether or not the power supply VCC is supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d can be visually recognized based on the light emission state.

  On the shielding unit control board 57d, the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 received via the connector 57e are used to control the parallel control signal 1 for controlling the lighting mode of the left LED 57b and the lighting mode of the right LED 57c.

Connected.

  The serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 is connected to the signal lines of the serial control signal 1, the clock signal 1, the parallel control signal 1, and the parallel control signal 2, and to the power supply line VCC. When supplied, it is in a state where it can function normally, converts the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 into the parallel control signal 1 and the parallel control signal 2, and converts these parallel control signals 1 and 2 into LED Output to the drive circuits 1 and 2 is possible. When the power supply VCC is not supplied, the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 is not operated and is stopped, and the parallel control signal 1 and the parallel control signal 2 cannot be output.

The left LED 57b is lit using the power supply VDL. The right LED 57c is connected to the signal line of the drive signal 2 output from the LED drive circuit 2 and is connected to the power source VDL, and the drive signal 2 for turning on the right LED 57c is input. Thus, the right LED 57c is turned on using the power supply VDL.

  The signal line for the parallel control signal 1 and the signal line for the parallel control signal 2 are connected to the power supply line VCC via the pull-up resistor 1. Thereby, when the power supply VCC is supplied, the signal lines of the parallel control signal 1 and the parallel control signal 2 are pulled up to a predetermined voltage.

  The signal line for the serial control signal 1 and the signal line for the clock signal 1 are connected to the power supply line VCC via the noise removal circuit 1. The noise removal circuit 1 includes a plurality of diodes, and the diodes are connected so that current can flow from the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 toward the power supply line VCC. ing. When the power supply VCC is normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, in the noise removal circuit 1, the voltage of the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 is higher than the voltage on the power supply line VCC side. When such noise occurs, current flows from the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 to the power supply line VCC, so that the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 The generated noise is discharged to the power supply VCC side and removed.

  In the shielding unit control board 57d, the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 among the signal lines of the control signal connected through the connector 57e are connected to the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2. The signal line of the parallel control signal 3 output from the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 is connected to the motor drive circuit 1, and the signal line of the parallel control signal 4 output from the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 is The signal line of the parallel control signal 5 connected to the drive circuit 2 and output from the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 is connected to the motor drive circuit 3 and the signal of the parallel control signal 6 output from the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2.

The serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 are converted into parallel control signals 3 to 6, and these parallel control signals 3 to 6 are connected to the motor drive circuits 1 to 4. Can be output. When the power supply VCC is not supplied, the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 is not operated and is stopped, and the parallel control signals 3 to 6 cannot be output.

  Further, the excitation signals 1 to 4 are connected to the excitation phases 1 to 4 of the shielding member operation motor 57a, respectively, and the power source VDL is connected to each excitation phase. When the excitation signals 1 to 4 indicating that excitation is performed are input, the corresponding excitation phase is excited using the power supply VDL. The first to fourth excitation phases are arranged in a predetermined order by the signal lines of the excitation signals 1 to 4 (for example, the fourth phase, the first phase, and the first phase along the rotation direction of the shielding member operation motor 57a). , First phase and second phase, second phase, second phase and third phase, third phase, third phase and fourth phase, fourth phase, fourth phase and first phase, etc. The shielding member operating motor 57a is driven in a predetermined manner.

  When excitation signals 1 to 4 are input so as to excite all the excitation phases (first phase to fourth phase) at the same timing, the shielding member operating motor 57a is excited for all phases. Thus, the motor is maintained in a stopped state without rotating, but the current continues to flow from the power supply VDL to each excitation phase over the period in which the signal is input.

  Each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 is connected to the power supply line VCC via the pull-up resistor 2. Thus, when the power supply VCC is supplied, the signal lines of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 are pulled up to a predetermined voltage in the same manner as the parallel control signals 1 and 2 described above.

  The signal line for the serial control signal 2 and the signal line for the clock signal 2 are connected to the power supply line VCC via the noise removal circuit 2. The noise removal circuit 2 has the same configuration as the noise removal circuit 1 described above. When the power supply VCC is normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, the noise removal circuit 2 has a signal line for the serial control signal 2. When noise occurs such that the voltage of the signal line of the clock signal 2 is higher than the voltage of the power supply line VCC, current flows from the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 to the power supply line VCC. By flowing, noise generated in the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 is released to the power supply VCC side and removed.

  Thus, in the shielding unit control board 57d of this modification, the power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2 branched from the power supply line VCC before being connected to the shielding unit control board 57d are connected to different terminals in the connector 57e, respectively. ing. That is, the power supply line VCC for operating the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 and the like is connected to the shielding unit control board 57d using two wires and two terminals of the connector 57e.

  The connector 57e includes a plurality of terminals, a signal line such as a serial control signal 1 is connected to a terminal group on one end side, and power supply lines such as power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2 are connected to a terminal group on the other end side. The power supply line VCC1 is connected to the terminal on one end side of the terminal group to which the power supply line is connected, and the power supply line VCC2 is connected to the terminal on the other end side.

  The power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2 connected via the connector 57e are integrated with the power supply line VCC on the shielding unit control board 57d, and a light emitting diode 57f is connected to the integrated power supply line VCC to control the shielding unit. The power supply VCC is supplied to the board 57d, and when a current flows from the connector 57e side to each circuit side such as the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1, the light emitting diode 57f emits light and the power supply VCC is supplied. Can be recognized.

  In the shielding unit control board 57d, the power line VCC connected via the connector 57e is connected to each circuit and element such as the serial / parallel conversion circuits 1 and 2, the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2, and the pull-up resistors 1 and 2. When the predetermined power supply (5 V) is supplied from the power supply line VCC, the circuits such as the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 can normally function, and the effect control CPU 120 provides the shielding unit control board 57d. The shielding member operation motor 57a, the left LED 57b, and the right LED 57c connected to the shielding unit control board 57d can be operated on the basis of the serial control signals 1 and 2 output to the above.

  The noise removal circuit 1 of the shielding unit control board 57d is connected to the signal line of the serial control signal 1, the clock signal 1, and the wiring of the power supply VCC, and the signal of the control signal is passed through the noise removal circuit 1. The line is connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC. In addition, the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 are input to each signal line at a voltage supplied from the effect control board 12, and the effect control board is provided on the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 1. A voltage corresponding to the output state of the signal from 12 is supplied. That is, the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 1 has a predetermined high voltage when the signal is transmitted by the serial control signal 2 and a predetermined low voltage when the signal is not transmitted. A voltage that changes in a range between a predetermined high voltage and a predetermined low voltage is applied at a predetermined cycle regardless of whether or not the signal is transmitted by the serial control signal 2. . When the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the noise removal circuit 1, the voltage applied to the noise removal circuit 1 with the input of the serial control signal 1 or the clock signal 1 is a capacitance component in the noise removal circuit 1. By leveling with the inductance component, an almost constant voltage is output to the wiring side of the power supply VCC of the noise removal circuit 1. In such a case, an unintended voltage is applied to each of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC via a pull-up resistor.

  The noise removal circuit 2 of the shielding unit control board 57d is connected to the signal lines of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 and the wiring of the power supply VCC, and the control signal signal is passed through the noise removal circuit 2. The line is connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC. In addition, the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 are input to each signal line at a voltage supplied from the effect control board 12, and the effect control board is provided on the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 2. A voltage corresponding to the output state of the signal from 12 is supplied. That is, the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 2 has a predetermined high voltage when a signal is transmitted by the serial control signal 2, and a predetermined low voltage when the signal is not transmitted. A voltage that changes in a range between a predetermined high voltage and a predetermined low voltage is applied at a predetermined cycle regardless of whether or not the signal is transmitted by the serial control signal 2. . When the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the noise removal circuit 2, the voltage applied to the noise removal circuit 2 with the input of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 is a capacitance component in the noise removal circuit 2. By leveling with the inductance component, an almost constant voltage is output to the wiring side of the power supply VCC of the noise removal circuit 1. In such a case, an unintended voltage is applied to each of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC via a pull-up resistor.

  The voltage output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 to the wiring side of the power supply VCC with the input of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 is a sufficiently high voltage (the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 2). 4, the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input, and the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are output by the serial / parallel conversion circuits 1 and 2. In spite of the absence, the voltage output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 acts as the parallel control signals 1 and 2 to operate the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 so that the left LED 57b and the right LED 57c are lit. Or act as parallel control signals 3 to 6 to operate the motor drive circuits 1 to 4 so as to simultaneously excite the excitation phases of the shielding member operation motor 57a. Then there is a possibility would. In particular, the clock signals 1 and 2 are signals in which the voltage becomes a high voltage at a predetermined cycle, and regardless of whether or not it is the timing for operating the shielding member operation motor 57a, the left LED 57b, and the right LED 57c. 12 is a signal that is continuously output to the shielding unit control board 57d, so that the LED drive circuit 1, 2 may output drive signals 1 and 2, and motor drive circuits 1 to 4 may output excitation signals 1 to 4. That is, when the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, the shielding member operation motor 57a, the left LED 57b, and the right LED 57c may be operated unintentionally.

  Some conventional gaming machines include a conversion circuit that converts a control signal output from a control board into a drive signal, and drives an electrical component such as an LED based on the drive signal. In such a configuration, for example, the power source used for the conversion circuit may be used for a circuit that removes noise of a control signal or a circuit that generates a drive signal. In such a case, the power source line is disconnected. When the supply of power is stopped due to the above, the clock signal superimposed on the control signal may be output from the control signal line to the drive signal line via the noise removal circuit. In such a case, the drive signal is output. In spite of not being done, an electric component will operate | move.

  On the other hand, the pachinko gaming machine 1 according to the present modification uses the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 input from the signal line (first signal line) of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 as the parallel control signal 1. 2 and the parallel control signals 1 and 2 are input to the signal line (second signal line) of the serial control circuit 1 and the parallel / control signal 1 (second signal line).

(Modification 15)
Next, a modified example 15 of the pachinko gaming machine to which the present invention is applied will be described. In addition, since the structure of the pachinko gaming machine of this modification includes the same structure as the modification 14 mentioned above, a different point is mainly demonstrated here.

  In the modified example 14, the power supply VCC is supplied via the two power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2 in the shielding unit control board 57d. However, in the present modified example 15, as shown in FIG. The power supply VCC is supplied to the control board 57d via one power supply line, and the parallel control signal 1 and 2 signal lines output from the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 are connected to the power supply VCC side of the pull-up resistor 1. In FIG. 2, a current-inhibiting circuit 1 for preventing the flow of current from the power supply VCC side to the signal line side of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 and the application of voltage, and a parallel control signal 3 output by the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2. On the power supply VCC side of the pull-up resistor 2 of the signal lines 6 to 6, current flows from the power supply VCC side to the signal line side of the parallel control signals 3 to 6. And Kaikomi prevention circuit 2 to stop, it is further provided configured shielding unit control board 57d.

  As shown in FIG. 44, the wrap prevention circuit 1 has one end connected to the signal line of the parallel control signal 1 and the signal line of the parallel control signal 2 via the pull-up resistor 1. The other end is connected to the power supply line VCC. The anti-rotation circuit 1 is configured using a Zener diode or the like, and the pull-up resistor is connected to the power line VCC side via the Zener diode so that no current flows from the power line VCC side to the pull-up resistor 1 side. One side is connected. In the wraparound prevention circuit 1, the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCC is determined to be an ON state in which the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4. When the voltage threshold is exceeded, that is, when the voltage is the predetermined voltage (the voltage of the power supply VCC (5 V)), the voltage of the power supply VCC is applied to the pull-up resistor 1 side, while the power supply line VCC For example, when the voltage is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold value (the threshold value of the voltage for determining that the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED driving circuits 1 and 2 and the motor driving circuits 1 to 4), the power supply line VCC When the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the wiring side and the voltage associated with the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2 is output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2, the voltage is pull Tsu and so will not be applied to up resistor 1 side.

  The wrap prevention circuit 2 has one end connected to each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 through the pull-up resistor 2 and the other end of the wrap prevention circuit 2 connected to the power supply line VCC. Yes. The wrap prevention circuit 2 has the same configuration as the wrap prevention circuit 1 and is configured using a Zener diode or the like. When the power supply VCC is not supplied, a current flows from the power line VCC side to the pull-up resistor 2 side. The power supply line VCC side and the pull-up resistor 2 side are connected via a Zener diode or the like so that current does not flow. In the wrap prevention circuit 2, as in the wrap prevention circuit 1, the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCC is set to a predetermined threshold value (the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are applied to the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4). If it exceeds the threshold value of the input voltage that is determined to be in the ON state, that is, if it is a predetermined voltage (voltage of the power supply VCC (5 V)), the voltage of the power supply VCC is applied to the pull-up resistor 2 side. Thus, the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCC is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold value (threshold value of the voltage for determining that the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4). In this case, for example, the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the wiring side of the power supply line VCC, and the voltage associated with the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2 is output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2. Like If, the voltage is turned so that it can not be applied to the pull-up resistor 2 side.

  As described above, in the shielding unit control board 57d of the present modified example, when the power supply VCC is not supplied by connecting the pull-up resistor 1 and the power supply line VCC via the wraparound prevention circuit 1, The current discharged from the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2 to the power supply line VCC side flows from the power supply line VCC to the pull-up resistor 1 side, that is, the signal line of the parallel control signal 1 and the signal line of the parallel control signal 2. The voltage output from the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2 is the voltage associated with the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2 is the signal line and the parallel control signal of the parallel control signal 1 on the pull-up resistor 1 side. 2 is prevented from being applied to the two signal lines.

  Further, in the shielding unit control board 57d of this modification, the pull-up resistor 2 and the power supply line VCC are connected via the wrap prevention circuit 2 so that the above-described noise removal is performed when the power supply VCC is not supplied. The current discharged from the circuits 1 and 2 to the power supply line VCC side flows from the power supply line VCC side to the pull-up resistor 2 side, that is, the signal lines of the parallel control signals 3 to 6, the serial control signal 1, 2 and the voltage associated with the input of the clock signals 1 and 2 is prevented from being applied to the signal lines of the parallel control signals 3 to 4 on the pull-up resistor 2 side. It is like that.

The circuit includes a wraparound prevention circuit 1 that is connected and can prevent a current from flowing from the noise removal circuit 1 to the second signal line. In such a configuration, in the configuration in which the power supply VCC for operating the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 is connected to the noise removal circuit 1 of the first signal line and the pull-up resistor 1 of the second signal line, the noise removal circuit The wraparound prevention circuit 1 capable of preventing the current from flowing from the first signal line to the second signal line is provided. Even when the supply of the power supply VCC is stopped, the current may flow from the noise removal circuit 1 to the second signal line. Therefore, current does not flow into the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 connected to the second signal line, and the left LED 57b and the right LED 57c can be prevented from operating unintentionally.

It is connected to the voltage of the signal line) to the pull-up resistor 2 to be pulled up, a configuration including the Kaikomi prevention circuit 2 capable of preventing from the noise elimination circuit 2 current from flowing to the second signal line. In such a configuration, the power supply VCC for operating the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 is connected to the noise removal circuit 2 for the first signal line and the pull-up resistor 2 for the second signal line. 2 is provided to prevent the current from flowing from 2 to the second signal line, and even if the supply of the power supply VCC is stopped, the current may flow from the noise removal circuit 2 to the second signal line.
