Description

The gaming machine of the present invention includes a first board provided with a circuit related to drive control of the performance device and an output side connector, and a second board provided with a circuit related to drive control of the performance device and an input side connector. , wiring that electrically connects the output side connector and the input side connector, and each of the connectors and the wiring connects a power terminal of a first system and a power supply terminal of a second system different from the first system. The power supply terminal of the first system is configured to include a terminal, a ground terminal, and a drive signal terminal, and the drive signal terminal is a terminal that transmits a drive signal for an LED or a motor. A power supply terminal that transmits a first power supply voltage used for driving, and the power supply terminal of the second system is used for driving a signal processing IC for the drive signal, and is not used for driving an LED or a motor. A power supply terminal that transmits a second power supply voltage, the number of power supply terminals of the first system is N, the number of power supply terminals of the second system is M, the number of ground terminals is L, the power supply terminal of the first system. When p is the sum of the maximum current consumption flowing to the power supply terminal of the second system and the maximum current consumption flowing to the power supply terminal of the second system, and q is the rated current of one power supply terminal of each connector, p < q (N + M-1). In some cases, the relationship N+M>L is satisfied and L is the minimum value of integers larger than (p/q).
The gaming machine also includes a first board having a connector and a light emitting drive section that drives a plurality of light emitting elements to emit light based on a performance control signal inputted via the connector, and the light emitting drive section has a rectangular shape. A chip component having input terminals for light emission drive data and a clock signal included in the production control signal on the first side, and input terminals for the drive signal for the light emitting element on the second, third, and fourth sides. An output terminal may be formed, and the light emitting driving section may be arranged on the first board so that the first side faces in the direction in which the connector is arranged.
Further, it is conceivable that the light emitting drive section is arranged at a position closer to the connector than any of the plurality of light emitting elements.

Further, on both sides of the upper part of the door 6 and on the upper side of the firing operation handle 15, speakers 46 are provided to produce a sound production effect (sound effect) by sound. In FIG. 1, only two speakers 46 above the door 6 are shown.
The plurality of speakers 46 enable so-called stereo sound reproduction or multi-channel sound reproduction of sounds related to the performance.

Connector CN4Q is connected to position detection switch 831 (see FIG. 58).
The first pin is a 12V DC voltage (DC12VB), and the second pin is a ground terminal. The second pin becomes an input terminal for the sense signal SENSv7 from the connected position detection switch.

As shown in FIG. 46, the connector CN1Q (and transmission line H30) of the lower relay board 800 uses two lines for 12V DC voltage (DC12VB), while the connector CN3Q (and transmission line H31) uses six lines for 12V direct current voltage (DC12VB).
The transmission line H31 on the downstream side has more lines that use 12V DC voltage (DC12VB) than the transmission line H30 on the upstream side, which is an advantageous configuration when it is desired to downsize the connector on the downstream side. Become.

From the above, it can be seen that the downstream connector CN3Q is downsized.
That is, by using 6 pins and 6 lines for 12V DC voltage (DC12VB) in connector CN3Q and transmission line H31, the current burden on one pin is reduced, and as mentioned above, the connector CN3Q is small and has a low rated current. This makes it possible to employ The ability to employ a small connector is effective in expanding the layout margin on the board, improving the degree of freedom in design, or downsizing the board in the backside relay board 800.

The connector CN3Q of the backside relay board 800, which is the second board, is a small connector as shown in FIG. 53 described above. Therefore, the connector CN1S of the decorative board 820 also becomes the connector shown in FIG. 53.

Further, although the connector CN1S is a component with a high height on the board, a relatively low connector CN1S can be used. In the case of a movable object, it is desirable to use a substrate with as little height as possible. This is due to reasons such as the desire to prevent it from interfering with movement, and the desire to place it inside a movable object as much as possible. Therefore, it is effective to use a connector with a low height size S3. In this sense, a side-type connector as shown in FIG. 53 is also more desirable than a top-type connector.

However, in the case of flexible cables, the current that can be passed through one line is small.
Therefore, the 12V DC voltage (DC12VB) received by two lines from the transmission line H30 through the connector CN1Q on the relay board 800 under the back of the panel is transferred to the decorative board 820 using six lines at the connector CN3Q and the transmission line H31. supplying. As a result, sufficient power can be supplied even when a flexible cable is used, and appropriate LED light emission can be realized in the decorative board 820.
In addition, the 12V DC voltage (DC12VB) received by two lines from the transmission line H22 through the connector CN1L on the decorative board 740 is supplied to the relay board 760 using three lines at the connector CN4L and the transmission line H23. There is. Similarly, the 5V DC voltage (DC5V) received by one line from the connector CN1L is supplied to the relay board 760 using three lines at the connector CN4L and the transmission line H23. As a result, even if a flexible cable is used, sufficient power is supplied to the relay board 760 and subsequent parts.
As can be seen from FIGS. 43 and 44, in the transmission line H23, the clock signal CLK_C and the data signal DATA_C are transmitted through one line. In other words, when using a flexible cable, the number of lines for power supply is greater than that for a normal harness, but the clock and control data signals are carried through only one line.

In the case of this (configuration C1), the following corresponding example (specific example 3) is assumed.
(Specific example 3)
・First board: frame LED relay board 840
・Second board: Inner frame LED relay board 400
・Third board: Front frame LED connection board 500
・First transmission line: Transmission line H7
・Second transmission line: Transmission line H8
・First connector: Connector CN1B
・Second connector: Connector CN2B

The connectors CN1B and CN2B in this case are shown in FIGS. 49 and 50, and their specifications are also as described above, and different types are used. In particular, the connector CN2B that connects the downstream side is smaller than the connector CN1B that connects the upstream side.
That is, in the frame LED relay board 840 , inner frame LED relay board 400, and front frame LED connection board 500 that are electrically connected from upstream to downstream, the inner frame LED relay board 400 has an upstream connector CN1B and a downstream connector. By using different types of CN2B, it is possible to downsize the substrate on the downstream side, which is advantageous in arranging components such as the substrate on the downstream side.

A harness serving as a transmission line H9 connected to the connector CN3C of the front frame LED connection board 500 arranged at the lower left of the door 6 is directed upward along the left side of the door 6, and is directed to the right near the upper end. The route reaches the connector CN1D of the relay board 550.
The harness as the transmission line H10 connected to the connector CN2D of the relay board 550 is routed from the upper end of the door 6 along the upper right corner to the connector CN1E of the side unit upper right LED board 600 attached to the side unit 10. Ru.
The harness serving as the transmission line H12 connected to the connector CN2E of the upper right LED board 600 of the side unit travels back along the path of the transmission line H10 to reach the connector CN1T of the upper LED board 630 of the side unit.

The side unit upper right LED board 600 to which the signal is transmitted from the relay board 550 is the most upstream side of each board in the side unit 10. For example, a side unit upper LED board 630 and a side unit lower right LED board 620 are present downstream.
Further, the side unit upper right LED board 600 includes a side unit upper right movable motor 104 connected to the above-mentioned connector CN4E, a side unit upper right movable solenoid 105 connected to the connector CN5E, a blower 106 connected to the connector CN6E, and a connector. There are sensors in the side unit device 101 connected to CN7E.

This is because the second board, the upper right side unit LED board 600 (or a downstream board other than the side unit upper LED board 630), has a motor driver, while the third board, the side unit upper LED board 630, has a motor driver. This means that it does not have a driver.
A relatively large current is used to drive the motor. Furthermore, a large number of lines is required due to motor drive conditions such as three-phase drive and four-phase drive. If the LED board 630 on the side unit is equipped with a motor driver or is a board that relays individual motors, a large number of lines will be required to transmit the 12V DC voltage (DC12VB) in the transmission line H12. become.
In this example, a motor drive control signal is not transmitted to the side unit LED board 630. In other words, the LED board 630 on the side unit does not have a motor drive function. This makes it possible to simplify the circuit and miniaturize the connector in the side unit LED board 630, thereby promoting miniaturization of the side unit LED board 630, which is disposed at the most downstream position and relatively forward.

Furthermore, the gaming machine 1 of the embodiment has the following (configuration G 2 -3) in addition to the above (configuration G 2 -1) or (configuration G 2 -2).
(Configuration G2-3)
The protection circuit is a protection circuit using a diode to prevent reverse current from flowing from the second power supply line to the first power supply line.

The buffer circuit 504 performs buffer processing of the signal output from the connector CN1C (see FIG. 16), and is arranged near the connector CN1C .
The motor drivers 510, 511 and the power isolation/protection circuit 521 are arranged in the upper left part of the drawing in the rectangular area.
An LED driver 509 used as an S/P conversion circuit is arranged in the upper right part of the drawing.

Note that "wiring" refers to things that electrically connect parts on a board, such as printed patterns, solid patterns, through holes, vias, jumper wires, and specific conductor parts.
Then, the speaker drive signal is supplied from the input side connector to the output side connector via only the wiring, which means that the speaker drive signal is transmitted to the front frame LED connection board 500, for example, to the buffer circuits 501, 504, 502, 503. , 512, LED driver 509, motor drivers 510, 511, etc., or electronic circuit components such as resistors and capacitors, it is supplied from the input side connector to the output side connector.
In other words, the speaker drive signal is supplied from the input side connector to the output side connector without any processing by any electronic circuit components other than the wiring (of course excluding the effects of the resistance and capacitance components of the wiring), and the signal is sent to the speaker outside the board. It can also be said to be an output configuration.

On the other hand, in the first inner layer shown in FIG. 68, the pattern is formed in the vicinity of the upper end UP and left end LS so as to extend into the areas corresponding to the hatched areas in the front and back layers.
Further, in the second inner layer shown in FIG. 69, the areas near the upper end UP, left end LS, and right end RS are patterned so as to extend into areas corresponding to the hatched areas in the front and back layers.
