Description

[0001]
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a control device for a pachinko gaming machine, and more particularly to a control device for a pachinko gaming machine for returning a malfunction occurrence to a normal operation.
[0002]
[Prior art]
With recent improvements in electronic circuit integration technology, microcomputer-related electronic components have become widespread in all fields. Since these electronic components are integrated at a very high density, a small environmental change has a great influence on the electronic components, particularly the microcomputer, and causes malfunctions such as runaway and loop reduction. Therefore, the microcomputer is provided with a countermeasure against the above malfunction in use in a normal environment.
[0003]
For example, in the technique described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 10-249032, a CPU and a monitoring circuit are provided in a display substrate, and when the watchdog timer pulse from the CPU is interrupted or the period is changed by the monitoring circuit, the CPU It has been proposed that the level of the reset signal to be input is changed from low to high to reset the CPU, and even if the CPU runs away for some reason, the CPU is reset by the reset signal from the monitoring circuit.
[0004]
In the technique described in Japanese Patent No. 2832599, only when the correct / incorrect signal is not input for a time longer than a predetermined time (10 ms), the reset signal is applied to the reset terminal of the arithmetic processing means by the arithmetic monitoring means provided in the control board. When the power supply voltage deviates from the specified value by the power supply voltage monitoring means connected to the reset terminal, a reset signal is input to the reset terminal, so that when the power is turned on, the voltage drops or the CPU runs away It has been proposed to initialize the arithmetic processing means.
[0005]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional pachinko gaming machine control device, when a CPU is provided on each of the plurality of boards, if a power supply voltage monitoring means is individually provided inside each control board, the reset is performed for each control board. Timing may vary. Taking the main control board and the symbol display board as an example, the timing of the reset pulse of the main control board varies due to variations in the elements in the monitoring circuit, so there is a possibility that the reset is released before the symbol display board. In this case, first, the main control board transmits an initial command to the symbol display board. However, since the symbol display board is still in the reset period, there is a possibility that the command cannot be received and is lost.
[0006]
Therefore, a countermeasure can be considered in which the power supply voltage monitoring circuit is made independent from each control board (for example, provided inside the common power supply and a reset signal is output from the common power supply), but the power supply voltage monitoring circuit is simply independent. However, there is a problem that it is difficult to independently perform the runaway monitoring of the CPU of each control board only by making them common.
[0007]
The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problem. Each control means can be individually initialized without shifting the initialization timing of each control board when power is turned on. It is an object of the present invention to provide a control device for a pachinko gaming machine that can immediately cope with a malfunction of arithmetic processing means.
[0008]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the invention according to claim 1 is a power supply monitoring means for outputting a power supply means for supplying power to a pachinko gaming machine and an initialization signal for executing an initialization command when the power is turned on. And a main arithmetic processing means for outputting command signals for performing various operations of the pachinko gaming machine, and whether the operation of the main arithmetic processing means is correct or not based on a predetermined signal output from the main arithmetic processing means. Main arithmetic processing monitoring means for monitoring and outputting the initialization signal based on the monitoring result, and the main arithmetic processing means based on the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring means or the main arithmetic processing monitoring means A main operation initialization means for initializing the main control means, and in response to the command signal Control the prize ball dispensing device that dispenses pachinko balls Sub-operation processing monitoring that monitors whether the operation of the sub-processing unit is correct based on the sub-processing unit and a predetermined signal output from the sub-processing unit, and outputs the initialization signal based on the monitoring result Sub-control means comprising: means; and sub-operation initialization means for initializing the sub-operation processing means based on the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring means or the sub-operation processing monitoring means; Of the sub-arithmetic processing means according to the command signal. Pachinko ball payout by controlling the prize ball payout device And a switch that outputs a detection signal to the main arithmetic processing means, the main arithmetic processing means based on the detection signal output from the switch, the sub arithmetic processing according to the command signal A process for monitoring the control by the means, and the sub-processing means suspends the control by the sub-processing means based on the initialization signal output from the main-processing monitoring means, When the initialization of the means is completed, the control by the sub operation processing means is resumed.
[0009]
According to the first aspect of the present invention, the power supply of the pachinko gaming machine is performed by the power supply means. At this time, when the power is turned on, an initialization signal for causing the power supply monitoring means to execute the initialization command is output.
[0010]
The main arithmetic processing means in the main control means outputs command signals for performing various operations of the pachinko gaming machine. That is, various operations of the pachinko gaming machine are comprehensively controlled by the main arithmetic processing means.
[0011]
The main arithmetic processing monitoring means of the main control means monitors the operation of the main arithmetic processing means on the basis of a predetermined signal output from the main arithmetic processing means, and executes an initialization command based on the monitoring result. Is output. For example, by monitoring the signal periodically output from the main arithmetic processing means by the main arithmetic processing monitoring means, and outputting the initialization signal when the periodically output signal is interrupted or extended It is possible to monitor the correctness of the main arithmetic processing means.
[0012]
In the main calculation initialization means of the main control means, power supply monitoring means or main calculation processing Based on the initialization signal output from the monitoring means, the main arithmetic processing means is initialized. That is, when the power is turned on or when the main processing unit does not function normally, the main processing unit is initialized.
[0013]
In the sub-control means, the pachinko machine according to the command signal output from the main processing means The prize ball dispensing device for dispensing balls is controlled. It is. In addition Based on the command signal output from the main processing means, the sub-processing means controls the decoration lamp, the sound effect, the pachinko ball launch control, the pachinko ball payout control, etc. Various operations may be controlled. .
[0014]
Then, in the sub operation processing means of the sub control means, the operation of the sub operation processing means is monitored based on a predetermined signal output from the sub operation processing means, as in the main control means. The sub-operation processing means is initialized by the sub-operation initialization means of the sub-control means based on the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring means or the sub-operation monitoring means. The That is, also in the sub-control unit, the sub-processing unit is initialized when the power is turned on or when the sub-processing unit does not function normally.
[0015]
Therefore, by making the power monitoring means independent from each control means (main control means and sub-control means), it is possible to prevent variations in initialization timing at the time of power-on of each control means, and to control each control Initialization in the means (initialization of the main arithmetic processing means and the sub-arithmetic processing means) can be initialized collectively in a lump.
[0016]
Further, the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring means or the arithmetic processing monitoring means (main arithmetic processing monitoring means and sub arithmetic processing) by the arithmetic initializing means (main arithmetic initializing means and sub arithmetic initializing means) in each control means. Since each arithmetic processing means is initialized based on the initialization signal output from the monitoring means), malfunctions such as runaway of the arithmetic processing means in each control means can be recovered for each control means. .
[0017]
Accordingly, each control means can be individually initialized without shifting the initialization timing of each control board when the power is turned on, and it is possible to immediately cope with a malfunction of the arithmetic processing means in each control means.
Note that the operation initialization means (main operation initialization means and sub-operation initialization means) in each control means can be realized by an OR circuit.
Further, the switch is a sub-processing unit corresponding to the command signal output from the main processing unit. Pachinko ball payout by control of prize ball payout device And a detection signal is output to the main arithmetic processing means. For example, when a command to win a prize ball is issued from the main calculation processing means, the number of prize balls is detected by a switch and the detection result is output to the main calculation processing means.
Then, the main arithmetic processing means performs processing for monitoring the control by the sub arithmetic processing means according to the command signal based on the detection signal output from the switch, and the sub arithmetic processing means is from the main arithmetic processing monitoring means. Based on the output initialization signal, the control by the sub-arithmetic processing means is temporarily interrupted, and when the initialization of the main arithmetic processing means is completed, the control by the sub-arithmetic processing means is resumed so that the main arithmetic processing means is normal. When the initialization is performed without functioning, the control by the sub-arithmetic processing means is temporarily suspended, so that the command signal output from the main arithmetic processing means and the control performed by the sub-arithmetic processing means Can be prevented from being lost.
[0018]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the present invention, the output timing of the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring unit is set to the output timing to the main operation initialization unit and the sub-operation initialization. The apparatus further comprises timing adjusting means for adjusting the output timing to the means.
[0019]
According to the second aspect of the present invention, in the first aspect of the invention, the timing adjustment unit is further provided, so that the output timing of the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring unit is changed to the main operation initialization unit. The output of the initialization signal output from the power supply monitoring means to the main operation initialization means so that it can be adjusted differently from the sub-operation initialization means and at a later timing than the sub-operation initialization means By adjusting the timing, the sub-processing unit is initialized first, so the sub-processing unit of the sub-control unit is being initialized, but the command signal is sent from the main processing unit of the main control unit. Can be prevented, and the command signal cannot be received by the sub-control means and is lost.
[0020]
As the timing adjusting means, as in the third aspect of the invention, the power supply monitoring means to the main arithmetic initialization means is set to output timing from the output signal of the initialization signal from the power supply monitoring means to the sub-operation initialization means. Delay means for delaying the timing may be used so that the output timing of the initialization signal is delayed.
[0021]

[0035]
FIG. 3 shows a block diagram of a control system for performing various controls of the pachinko gaming machine. As shown in FIG. 3, the control system of the pachinko machine generates various power sources (eg, DC24V, DC12V, DC5V, backup power supply for power failure, etc.) used inside various control boards, and supplies the generated power supply. The power supply unit 10 is provided to supply power to various control boards.
[0036]
The power supply unit 10 is provided with a power plug 12 for obtaining an AC 24V power source for generating the power source, and the various power sources are generated from the AC 24V power source obtained from the power plug 12. Further, a power switch 14 for starting / stopping the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is connected to the power supply unit 10, and the operation of the pachinko gaming machine is started / stopped by the power switch 14.
[0037]
The power supply unit 10 is further provided with a power supply monitor circuit 16 so that when the power switch 14 is turned on, a power-on reset signal is output from the power supply monitor circuit 16 to each control board.
[0038]
As shown in FIG. 3, the various control boards connected to the power supply unit 10 center on the main control board 20, the payout control board 22, the symbol display control board 24, the lamp control board 26, the voice control board 28, etc. Various control boards classified for each are connected. Hereinafter, the control boards such as the payout control board 22, the symbol display control board 24, the lamp control board 26, and the sound control board 28 are collectively referred to as a sub-control board 30.
[0039]
The main control board 20 corresponds to the main control means of the present invention, and the sub control board 30 corresponds to the sub control means of the present invention.
[0040]
In addition, the main control board 20 and the sub control board 30 can be connected to a hall computer on the pachinko parlor side via a management control board (not shown), thereby managing the movable state of the pachinko gaming machine.
[0041]
The main control board 20 stores a basic program relating to the game. In response to command signals from the main control board 20 (for example, voice commands, lamp commands, symbol display commands, payout commands, etc. shown in FIG. 3). Based on this, the other sub-control board 30 performs each function independently. That is, the main control board 20 is basically configured to output only commands and not to receive feedback of the results.
[0042]
The payout control board 22 controls the number of payouts of the pachinko gaming machine, and the sound control board 28 controls the output of sound effects and the like from the speaker 162 provided in the pachinko gaming machine. In addition, the lamp control board 26 controls lighting / extinguishing of the electric decoration member attached to the pachinko gaming machine.
[0043]
The symbol display control board 24 executes display that provides a predetermined effect based on a command signal from the main control board 20. The symbol display control board 24 also controls the normal symbol display unit.
[0044]
Each control board of the main control board 20 and the sub control board 30 is provided with a CPU 32, and each CPU 32 controls each control board described above. Each CPU 32 is connected to a monitoring circuit 34 for monitoring the operation of the CPU 32, and a periodic signal is output from the CPU 32 to the monitoring circuit 34.
[0045]
The CPU 32 on the main control board 20 corresponds to the main arithmetic processing means of the present invention, the monitoring circuit 34 on the main control board 20 corresponds to the main arithmetic processing monitoring means of the present invention, and the CPU 32 on the sub control board 30 corresponds to the present invention. The monitoring circuit 34 in the sub-control board 30 corresponds to the sub-operation processing monitoring means of the present invention.
[0046]
The monitoring circuit 34 monitors the periodic signal and sends a reset signal when the signal is interrupted or extended, and the reset signal is connected to the input side of the OR circuit 36. And connected to the reset terminal of the CPU 32 via the OR circuit 36. The OR circuit 36 in the main control board 20 corresponds to the main operation initialization means of the present invention, and the OR circuit 36 in the sub control board 30 corresponds to the sub operation initialization means of the present invention.
[0047]
Further, the power supply monitoring circuit 16 is further connected to the input side of the OR circuit 36 in each sub-control board 30, and for the main control board 20, the power supply monitoring circuit 16 is connected to the OR circuit 36 via the timing adjustment means 38. Connected to the input.
[0048]
By the way, since various power lines output from the power supply unit 10 need to pass a large amount of current, each connection of the power supply unit 10 needs to use a connector having a large pin diameter that can withstand the current. On the other hand, since the reset signal flows only a minute current, using a connector having the same pin diameter as that of the power supply unit 10 may cause a contact failure. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to ensure the reliability of the reset signal, different connectors are used for connection between the power line and the reset signal line. As shown in FIG. The power supply unit connector 40 having a large pin diameter corresponding to the current output from the power supply unit 10 is used, and the reset signal connector 42 is a reset signal having a thin pin diameter corresponding to a minute current of the reset signal. Connector 42 is used.
[0049]
The operation of this embodiment will be described below.
[0050]
When the power switch 14 of the pachinko machine is turned on, a power-on reset signal is output from the power monitoring circuit 16 inside the power supply unit 10 to each control board. The power-on reset signal is input to the reset terminal of each CPU 32 through the OR circuit 36 in each control board at the same timing. Each CPU 32 is initialized by receiving a power-on reset signal, and then each CPU 32 starts to operate according to a predetermined program.
[0051]
Here, a power-on reset signal is input to the main control board 20 via the timing adjustment circuit 38, but the input timing of the power-on reset signal input to the main control board 20 by the timing adjustment circuit 38 is changed. Adjustment, for example, by adjusting the timing so that it is input last to the sub-control board 30, the sub-control board 30 cannot receive the command sent from the main control board 20 and misses it. There is no prevention, and the entire pachinko gaming machine can be operated normally.
[0052]
In addition, the monitoring circuit 34 of each control board monitors a periodic signal output from each CPU 32. In the monitoring circuit 34 of each control board, when the periodic signal is interrupted or extended, a reset signal is output to the reset terminal of each CPU 32 via the OR circuit 36, thereby Initialization is performed. That is, when a fraudulent act is performed on a pachinko machine or when the CPU 32 runs out of control, the periodic signal output from the CPU 32 is interrupted or delayed, so that the monitoring circuit 34 can detect the periodic signal. By monitoring the above, it is possible to quickly respond to malfunctions such as fraudulent acts on pachinko machines and runaway of the CPU 232.
[0053]
That is, in the present embodiment, the power supply unit 10 is provided with the common power supply monitoring circuit 16 for both the main control board 20 and the sub control board 30 and the monitoring circuit 34 that periodically monitors signals from the CPU 32 of each control board. Is provided on each control board, and each control board is initialized when a reset signal is input to the CPU 32 from either the power supply monitoring circuit 16 or the monitoring circuit 34. It is possible to monitor the malfunction of the CPU 32 of each control board independently without the reset timing varying for each control board.
[0054]
In the present embodiment, the pin diameter used for the connector 40 for the power supply unit and the pin diameter used for the reset signal connector 42 are set to the corresponding pin diameters, without causing poor contact, etc. The reliability of the reset signal can be ensured.
[0055]
The main control board 20 and the payout control board 30 are In detail Configuration as shown in FIG. Has been . That is, when the reset signal output from the monitoring circuit 34 of the main control board 20 is input to the CPU 32 of the payout control board 22 and the reset signal is output from the CPU 32 of the main control board 20 in the above embodiment. In addition, the payout control by the payout control board 22 is configured to be temporarily interrupted. A prize ball payout solenoid 44 is connected to the payout control board 22, and the prize ball payout solenoid 44 is driven in accordance with a payout command sent from the main control board 20, and the number of prizes corresponding to the payout command. The balls are to be paid out to the player, and the prize ball counting switch 46 is connected to the CPU 32 of the payout control board 22 and the CPU 32 of the main control board 20 and counts every time the balls that are paid out are counted. Signals are sent to both the main control board 20 and the payout control board 22.
[0056]
With this configuration, when the main control board 20 detects the winning of the pachinko ball by a winning opening provided on the board (a winning opening including the winning opening 120, the special symbol starting winning opening 126, etc.), A payout command indicating the number of payouts corresponding to the mouth is sent to the payout control board 22, and when the payout control board 22 receives the payout command and is ready for payout, a payout solenoid connected to the CPU 32 of the payout control board 22. 44 is driven, and the number of pachinko balls award corresponding to the payout command sent from the main control board 20 is paid out to the player.
[0057]
For example, when the main control board 20 detects winning of 10 winning balls in the winning opening, it sends out a payout command representing 10 winning balls to the payout control board 22 and is not shown in the payout control board 22 that has received the payout command. The prize ball dispensing solenoid 44 in the prize ball dispensing device is driven to start the pachinko ball dispensing. The prize ball counting switch 46 outputs a count signal to both the main control board 20 and the payout control board 22 every time the paid-out pachinko balls are counted. When the payout control board 22 receives the count signal from the prize ball counting switch 46 ten times, it determines that ten pachinko balls have been paid out, stops the driving of the prize ball payout solenoid 44 and ends the payout of the pachinko balls.
[0058]
Then, the main control board 20 monitors whether a pachinko ball is paid out in accordance with the payout command transmitted by the main control board 20 by a signal from the prize ball counting switch 46, and if an error occurs, the error is indicated by a lamp on the board. Etc. are notified. By this error notification, the store side can be used for discovering fraud and discovering a failure of the winning ball payout device.
[0059]
Further, there may be a case where the main control board 20 goes out of control while the pachinko balls are paid out. In this case, a reset signal is output by the monitoring circuit 34 of the main control board 20. As a result, the main control board 20 is initialized. In addition, the reset signal output from the monitoring circuit 34 of the main control board 20 is also output to the CPU 32 of the payout control board 22, and the payout control board 22 is reset after the CPU 32 of the main control board 20 starts running away. The payout control is temporarily suspended until the operation starts normally. When the reset signal output from the monitoring circuit 34 of the main control board 20 is interrupted, the payout control board 22 determines that the CPU 32 of the main control board 20 has returned to normal, and the winning ball of the pachinko ball is resumed. .
[0060]
Therefore, in contrast to the above embodiment, the reset signal output from the monitoring circuit 34 of the main control board 20 is input to the CPU 32 of the payout control board 22 so that the CPU 32 of the main control board 20 runs out of control. It is possible to prevent a pachinko ball counting error from occurring with the payout control board 22 because the signal from the prize ball counting switch 46 cannot be processed during the period from the start to the normal operation after being reset. The side also does not have to spend unnecessary effort to investigate the cause of the error.
[0061]
In the above embodiment, the power-on reset signal output from the power supply monitoring circuit 16 of the power supply unit 10 is input to the OR circuit 36 of the main control board 20 via the timing adjustment means 38, and the timing adjustment circuit 38, the input of the power-on reset signal is adjusted so that the main control board 20 inputs the last control signal to each control board of the sub-control board 30. However, as shown in FIG. As an alternative, the delay circuit 50 may be used. That is, a delay circuit 50 is provided in place of the timing adjustment circuit 38 shown in FIGS. 3 and 5 so that the power-on reset signal is input after a predetermined time later than each control board of the sub-control board 30. Thus, as in the above embodiment, it is possible to prevent the command sent from the main control board 20 from being received by the sub control board 30 and not to be missed, so that the entire pachinko gaming machine operates normally. Can be made.
[0062]
