  An object of the present invention is to provide an award winning device for a gaming machine such as an electric tulip that can further enhance the player's interest by a change in a light emission mode accompanying a movement of the movable body in addition to a change in form based on the movement of the movable body And providing a gaming machine using the same.

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention

The winning device for gaming machines, which is a prerequisite for solving the above problems,
Between a first opening position that is relatively difficult to win a game ball and a second opening position that is relatively easy to win. A pair of rotating wing pieces that change the opening mode of the winning opening by rotating at
A drive actuator having a drive unit that is linearly displaced;
A transmission member that converts a linear movement of the drive unit into a rotational movement of the rotary blade piece, and a transmission member that transmits a driving force of the drive actuator to the rotary blade piece;
The first and second stop positions are arranged in the vicinity of the rotary wing piece on the game board and are associated with the first and second opening positions of the rotary wing piece based on the operation of the transmission member. A movable body that moves between,
May be provided.

  According to such a gaming machine winning device, the movable member can be moved and stopped using the transmission member (transmission arm) for rotating the rotary wing piece as it is, while suppressing energy loss. A movable body can be incorporated in a compact manner. As a result, the emergence of a new movable body that moves in conjunction with the movement of the rotary wing piece makes it possible to attract a new interest to the prize-winning device that has been low in attention to the player. Therefore, it is possible to realize a winning device that simultaneously satisfies downsizing (cost reduction) and dynamic movement (added value).

In addition, a solenoid, a linear stepping motor, etc. can be used as a drive actuator of this invention. The movable body of the present invention can be configured as a rotating arm that can rotate around the arm axis, can be configured as a rotating blade piece similar to a pair of rotating blade pieces, or can be configured as a rotating body. can do. And such a movable body can take the following movement modes, for example.
(1) A mode in which a reciprocating trajectory between the first stop position and the second stop position or a loop-shaped trajectory including the first stop position and the second stop position is moved;
(2) A mode of rotating around the rotation axis including the first stop position and the second stop position.

  In such a prize-winning device, a movable body is formed by a part of the front decoration portion that is arranged on the game board and holds the rotary wing piece, and the transmission arm directly contacts the movable body and the rotary wing piece. It is desirable to configure them to move simultaneously. By constructing the movable body by partially using the front decoration part (front decoration part) that is closest to the line of sight for the player, it is easy to attract the player's attention. In addition, since the movable body and the rotating blade piece are driven in direct contact with the transmission arm at the same time, energy loss can be almost eliminated, and the movement timing of both can be easily obtained.

  Further, a pair of transmission arms are provided to rotate the pair of rotating blade pieces between the first opening position and the second opening position, respectively, and the movable body has a shape (for example, U-shape) surrounding the winning opening. It is desirable that the tip portions on both sides are engaged with a pair of transmission arms on both sides of the winning opening. In this way, when the movable body and the pair of rotating blade pieces are driven by the pair of transmission arms on both sides of the winning opening, the movable body and the rotating blade pieces are less likely to be twisted and momentized, A more precise movement operation can be performed, and the life can be extended.

  At that time, if the separation distance of the both ends of the movable body is set to be approximately equal to the separation distance of the pair of transmission arms, and is set to be smaller than the distance between the rotation axis of the pair of rotation blade pieces, Stable movement of the movable body is continuously possible without hindering the operation of the rotating blade piece. The separation distance of the movable body and the separation distance of the transmission arm are set based on the center position such as the thickness in the measurement direction.

In addition, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems,
Between a first opening position that is relatively difficult to win a game ball and a second opening position that is relatively easy to win. A pair of rotating wing pieces that change the opening mode of the winning opening by rotating at
A drive actuator having a drive unit that is linearly displaced;
A transmission member that converts a linear movement of the drive unit into a rotational movement of the rotary blade piece, and a transmission member that transmits a driving force of the drive actuator to the rotary blade piece;
A first stop which is disposed below the rotating blade piece and stops relatively close to the rotating blade piece when the rotating blade piece is in the first opening position based on the operation of the transmission arm. A movable body that moves between a position and a second stop position that stops relatively apart when in the second opening position;
A light emitting portion provided on the rear side of the board surface of the game board,
The movable body is rotatable about an arm axis that is parallel to the axis of the transmission arm and intersects the axis of rotation of the rotating blade in a plan view, and the player side with respect to the arm axis Is configured as a movable arm whose rear end, which is the opposite side, is in contact with the transmission arm, and the forward lifting operation based on the rotational motion around the arm axis is the rotational axis of the rotational blade piece. In conjunction with opening mode change operation around,
Based on the operation of the transmission arm, when the rotating blade piece is in the first opening position and the movable arm is in the first stop position, the movable arm is raised on the front side, While the light emitting unit is shielded from the person,
When the rotary wing piece is in the second opening position and the movable arm is in the second state where the movable arm is in the second stop position, the movable arm descends on the front side, and the light emitting unit is moved to the player. It is in a state of being exposed.

  According to such a gaming machine winning device, when the rotating blade piece is in the first opening position (difficult winning position), the movable body is in the first stop position (for example, the approaching position to the rotating blade piece), When the rotary blade piece is at the second opening position (easy winning position), the movable body operates in conjunction with the second stop position (for example, the retracted position below the rotary blade piece). Therefore, for example, when the movable body moves to the second stop position, it is possible to embody a form as if a devil or a spear opened its mouth, and it becomes easier to attract attention. In addition, since the movable body can be disposed adjacent to the lower side of the rotating wing piece, the movable body can be accommodated in a relatively narrow space without impeding the flow of the game ball falling on the game board.

  At that time, a light emitting portion is provided behind the board surface of the game board (a position away from the player), the rotating wing piece is at the first opening position based on the operation of the transmission arm, and the movable arm is the first. In the first state at the stop position, the movable arm rises forward and shields the light emitting part from the player, while the rotating wing piece is at the second opening position and the movable arm is In the second state at the second stop position, if the movable arm descends on the front side and exposes the light emitting part to the player, it will change in form based on the movement of the movable body. In addition, the player's interest can be further enhanced by the change in the light emission mode accompanying the movement of the movable body. In recent years, various LEDs including a full color specification have become common as light emitting means provided in the light emitting section. Therefore, when the lens is disposed on the player side of the LED (light emitting unit), for example, the rotating wing piece or the front decoration part (front decoration part) can be partially irradiated by the light diffusion effect. . In addition, when a lens is not provided on the player side of the LED (light emitting unit), relatively strong light can be intensively irradiated on the player side.

  Further, in such a winning device, the movable body is configured as a rotating arm that is rotatable around an arm axis that is parallel to the game board and intersects the rotational axis of the rotating blade piece in plan view. The raising / lowering operation of the player side end portion based on the rotation operation around the arm axis line may be interlocked with the opening mode changing operation around the rotation axis line of the rotation blade piece. In this case, the rotating wing piece takes an operating mode that opens and closes in parallel with the game board, whereas the player side end of the movable body takes an operating mode that moves up and down. It is possible to provide a prize-winning device that is more interesting by moving in different directions.

  As described above, the increase in the manufacturing cost is suppressed, and the gaming machine winning device that has been downsized is arranged in the gaming machine, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost and reducing the size of the gaming machine as a whole. It will be possible to achieve an interesting board composition.

  In the present invention, the rear side (or rear side) refers to the side away from the player in the direction perpendicular to the board surface of the game board (that is, the front-rear direction) and toward the inside of the gaming machine (that is, various boards such as the main control board). The internal mechanism side provided) and the front side (or front side) mean the side facing the player on the opposite side. The upper side means the vertically upper side, and the lower side means the vertically lower side.

(Example)
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to examples shown in the drawings. FIG. 1 is an exploded perspective view of an electric tulip 1 as a winning device for gaming machines according to the present invention. The electric tulip 1 is disposed on the board surface 101a (see FIG. 9) of the gaming board 101 of the gaming machine 100 so as to be positioned below the central liquid crystal display unit 102, and has a pair of rotating wing pieces 10 and 10 and a solenoid 30. (Drive actuator), transmission member 21 and movable arm 71 (movable body).

  A pair of rotary wing pieces 10 and 10 are attached to be rotatable about a pair of parallel rotation axes O1 and O1 intersecting with the game board 101, and a first opening position where it is relatively difficult to win a game ball. (See FIG. 3 (a) and FIG. 2; hereinafter also referred to as a closed position) and a second opening position (see FIG. 3 (b) and FIG. 4; hereinafter also referred to as an open position) that is relatively easy to win. The opening mode of the winning opening 7 is changed by rotating between them. The solenoid 30 has a plunger 37 (drive unit) that can be displaced to a plurality of linear displacement positions (for example, two positions described later). The transmission member 21 has a transmission arm 21 d that converts the linear movement of the plunger 37 into the rotational movement of the rotary blade piece 10, and transmits the driving force of the solenoid 30 to the rotary blade piece 10.

  The movable arm 71 is arranged below the rotary blade piece 10 and covers the lower half of the rotary blade piece 10 when the rotary blade piece 10 is in the closed position based on the operation of the transmission member 21. The first stop position (see FIGS. 3 (a) and 2; hereinafter also referred to as the raised position) that stops relatively close to the main body 11a of the eleventh body and stops relatively apart when in the open position The second stop position (see FIG. 3B and FIG. 4; hereinafter also referred to as the lowered position). In the following description, the first state is when the rotating blade piece 10 is in the closed position and the movable arm 71 is in the raised position, and the second state is when the rotating blade piece 10 is in the open position and the movable arm 71 is in the lowered position. Sometimes called two-state.

  These structures will be described more specifically. As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 4, the plunger 37 is linearly drawn into the solenoid 30 (specifically, inside the coil portion 53) by energization. The linear displacement of the plunger 37 in the longitudinal direction of the board surface is converted into the rotational displacement of the transmission member 21, and the rotational displacement of the transmission member 21 (here, the rotational displacement around the axis O3 parallel to the board surface 101a (see FIG. 9)). Is further converted into a rotational displacement of the rotational blade pieces 10 and 10 (here, a rotational displacement around the rotational axis O1 intersecting (for example, orthogonal to) the board surface 101a). The plunger 37 is drawn into the solenoid 30 (inside the coil portion 53) while penetrating the coil spring 39. Therefore, in the energized state, the coil spring 53 is drawn against the bias of the coil spring 39, and in the energized release state, the coil spring 39 is biased (specifically, the coil spring 39 is applied to the plunger 37). By extruding the integrally formed flange portions 37a, 37a), it is pushed forward.

  Further, a groove 37b is formed in the circumferential direction between the flange portions 37a and 37a of the plunger 37, and a pair of protrusions 21b and 21b formed on the transmission member 21 are fitted in the groove 37b. . The transmission member 21 includes a spacing member 21c and a pair of transmission arms 21d and 21d disposed at both ends of the spacing member 21c. A pair of transmission member rotating shafts 21e and 21e having axial lines O3 and O3 parallel to the board surface 101a are provided so as to protrude from both outer sides of the transmission arms 21d and 21d. The transmission member rotation shafts 21e and 21e are inserted into the transmission member rotation shaft insertion holes 43a and 43a formed in the housing 43 that houses the transmission member 21. The transmission member 21 is supported so as to be rotatable around the axes O3 and O3 of the transmission member rotation shafts 21e and 21e. Then, when the transmission arm 21d is rotated, the bifurcated action portion 21a is displaced (displaced substantially in the vertical direction) to move the protruding portion 10a of the rotating blade piece 10, and the rotating blade piece 10 is rotated. Will be.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the rotary blade piece support shaft 10 c inserted into the support shaft insertion hole 10 b formed in the rotary blade piece 10 has a front end portion formed on the front decoration portion 11. The support shaft insertion hole 11i is inserted into and supported by the support shaft insertion hole 12g formed in the base plate 12 at the rear end side. Thereby, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 are supported so as to be rotatable around the rotary axis lines O1 and O1 of the rotary blade piece support shafts 10c and 10c. The rotation axis O1 and O1 of the two rotating blade pieces 10 and 10 are in a parallel relationship. Further, the front decoration part 11 and the base plate 12 are fixed in a state where the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 are supported by the rotary blade piece support shafts 10c and 10c.

  The actuated portion formed on the rotating blade piece 10 has projecting portions 10 a and 10 a formed so as to project rearward from the actuating portion introduction port 12 c of the base plate 12 in the rotating blade piece 10. ing. And the action part 21a of the transmission arm 21d is provided in the position corresponding to the protrusion part 10a, and it is comprised so that it may act on the to-be-acted part (protrusion part 10a) in conjunction with the plunger 37 of the solenoid 30.

  In FIG. 2A, the movable arm 71 interlocked with the operation of the transmission member 21 extends to the front side (player side) with the rear side (abutting side with the transmission arm 21d) as one tip 71b. It reaches the other tip 71b through the portion 71a and is formed in a U shape as a whole. The movable arm 71 constitutes a part of the front decoration portion 11. The direction changing portion 71a of the movable arm 71 (particularly the player side end portion) is formed in a space formed by the elliptical main body portion 11a of the front decoration portion 11 and the wall portions 11b and 11b protruding downward from both ends of the main body portion 11a. 71d) is located. A pair of movable arm support shafts 71 c and 71 c are provided so as to protrude from both outer sides of the movable arm 71 and parallel to the game board 101. The movable arm support shafts 71c, 71c are inserted into the movable arm support shaft insertion holes 11c, 11c (see FIG. 1) formed in the front decoration portion 11. The movable arm 71 is supported so as to be rotatable around the arm axis O2 of the movable arm support shafts 71c and 71c. Both end portions 71b and 71b on the rear side of the movable arm 71 are engaged with the lower surfaces of the lower jaws of the action portions 21a and 21a of the transmission arms 21d and 21d on both sides of the winning opening 7, respectively. Regarding the movable arm 71, the weight on the front side (direction changing portion 71a side) from the arm axis O2 is larger than the weight on the rear side (on both side tip portions 71b and 71b side).

  As shown in FIG. 5 (c), the two arm axis lines O2 and O2 of the movable arm 71 are in a straight line and intersect the rotation axis lines O1 and O1 of the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 described above (for example, Orthogonally) and in parallel with the axes O3 and O3 of the transmission arms 21d and 21d. The separation distance W between the both end portions 71b and 71b of the movable arm 71 is larger than the width of the winning opening 7 in the closed position, that is, the diameter D of one ball, and is equal to or substantially equal to the separation distance L1 of the transmission arms 21d and 21d. is doing. The distance W between the distal end portions 71b, 71b of the movable arm 71 is smaller than the distance L2 between the rotation axes of the rotating blade pieces 10, 10. That is, the mutual relationship between the three can be expressed as “L1≈W <L2”.

  Note that the separation distance W between the both end portions 71b and 71b of the movable arm 71 is set based on the center position of the thickness of the end portions 71b and 71b in the measurement direction. That is, W = Wmax−t, where Wmax is the maximum distance between the tip portions 71b and 71b and t is the thickness of the tip portions 71b and 71b. Further, the distance L1 between the transmission arms 21d and 21d is set based on the center position of the thickness of the transmission arms 21d and 21d in the measurement direction. That is, when the maximum distance between the transmission arms 21d and 21d is L1max and the thickness of the transmission arms 21d and 21d is t1, L1 = L1max−t1.

  As shown in FIG. 2 (b), a light emitting member 72 (light emitting portion) made of an LED element is disposed behind the board surface 101a of the game board 101 in relation to the position of the player side end portion 71d of the movable arm 71. is doing. The base plate 12 is formed with an opening 12e for passing light. Therefore, when the movable arm 71 is in the raised position, the light emitting member 72 is shielded by the player-side end 71d (a state where light does not reach the player), and when the movable arm 71 is in the lowered position, the light emitting member 72 is An exposed state (a state in which light reaches the player) is exhibited.

  A triangular guide portion 11e that lowers toward the rear is provided on the rear surface of the front decoration portion 11, and an arch-shaped roof portion 11f extends rearward from the lower edge of the guide portion 11e. The ball that has entered the winning opening 7 is guided backward by the guide portion 11e, and is guided backward through the upper portion of the roof portion 11f. The roof portion 11f also has a function of preventing light from the light emitting member 72 from leaking upward.

  The base plate 12 is formed such that a flow passage 12f that becomes a ball passage through the guide portion 11e and the roof portion 11f after winning the winning opening 7 becomes lower toward the rear. A proximity switch 25 is provided below the rear end of the flow passage 12f as a winning detection means. A switch arrangement hole 43 e that fits with the proximity switch 25 is formed below the housing 43. The proximity switch 25 is formed with a passage hole 25a through which a ball won in the winning opening 7 passes. When the ball passes through the passage hole 25a, the proximity switch 25 outputs a detection signal.

  Returning to FIG. 1, insertion holes 73 a and 73 a are formed in the substrate 73 on which the light emitting member 72 is mounted. The fastening members 74, 74 pass through the insertion holes 73 a, 73 a of the substrate 73 and the insertion holes 12 d, 12 d formed in the base plate 12, and are inserted and fixed in the insertion parts 11 d, 11 d formed in the front decoration part 11. Is done. Thereby, the board | substrate 73, the baseplate 12, and the front side decoration part 11 are fixed integrally.

  On the other hand, the housing 43 is formed with fastening member insertion holes 43b and 43b for fixing and supporting the solenoid 30. Fastening member insertion portions 51 a and 51 a are formed on the side plates 51 and 51 made of a metal material surrounding the coil portion 53 of the solenoid 30. Fastening members 35, 35 (for example, screws, screws, bolts, etc.) are inserted and fixed in the fastening member insertion portions 51 a, 51 a of the solenoid 30 while passing through the fastening member insertion holes 43 b, 43 b of the housing 43. Will be fixed.

  The housing 43 protrudes outward and is provided with a pair of attachment portions 43c and 43c, and attachment holes 43d and 43d are formed in the attachment portions 43c and 43c. Mounting holes 12b and 12b are formed in mounting portions 12a and 12a protruding rearward in a base plate 12 made of a resin member that supports the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 so as to be displaceable. The fastening members 47 and 47 penetrate the mounting holes 43d and 43d and are inserted and fixed in the mounting holes 12b and 12b, so that the housing 43 and the base plate 12 are fixed.

  Next, the operation of the electric tulip 1 having such a configuration will be described. As shown in FIG. 3A or 5, when the solenoid 30 is in a non-energized state, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 and the movable arm 71 are in the first state, that is, the rotary blade piece is energized by the coil spring 39. 10 and 10 are in the closed position, and the movable arm 71 is in the raised position. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 2B, the light emitting member 72 is shielded by the player side end 71d, and light does not reach the player. In such a state, the solenoid 30 is energized when a ball is won at the winning opening 7 (detection by the proximity switch 25) or when another specific winning opening is won. When the solenoid 30 is energized, the plunger 37 is pulled into the solenoid 30 against the urging of the coil spring 39, and the transmission member 21 (transmission arm 21d) is then moved relative to the axis O3 (transmission member rotating shaft 21e). Turn clockwise.

  As shown in FIG. 3B or 6, the action portion 21 a pushes up the protruding portion 10 a of the rotating blade piece 10 by the rotation of the transmission member 21, and the rotating blade piece 10 moves to the open position. At this time, as shown in FIG. 4, as the action portion 21a of the transmission member 21 moves upward, the movable arm 71 has a distal end portion 71b side of the lower jaw of the action portion 21a due to a weight difference around the arm axis O2. It rotates in the direction of ascending while in contact with the lower surface, and the player side end 71d side moves to the lowered position. Thereby, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 and the movable arm 71 are in the second state, that is, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 are in the open position and the movable arm 71 is in the lowered position. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 3B, the light emitting member 72 is exposed, and the light reaches the player. In this way, when the movable arm 71 moves to the lowered position, it can be expressed as if the devil or the eagle opened its mouth, coupled with the shape and pattern of the front decoration 11.

  In this state, when there is a ball winning in the winning opening 7 or the like, the solenoid 30 is turned off again. As a result, the transmission member 21 (transmission arm 21d) rotates counterclockwise by the bias of the coil spring 39 (FIG. 4 (b) → FIG. 2 (b)), and the rotary blade pieces 10, 10 and the movable arm 71 returns to the first state, that is, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 return to the closed position and the movable arm 71 returns to the raised position. For this reason, the light emitting member 72 is again shielded at the player side end 71d, and light does not reach the player.

  As described above, the movable arm 71 can be moved and stopped simultaneously in direct contact with the transmission member 21 (specifically, the transmission arms 21d and 21d) for rotating the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10, so that the small size is achieved. Thus, energy loss can be almost eliminated, and the movement timing of the transmission member 21 and the movable arm 71 can be easily obtained. As a result, by adding a new movable arm 71 that moves in conjunction with the movement of the rotary wing pieces 10, 10, it is possible to arouse new interest in the electric tulip 1 and attract the player's interest. At that time, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 take an operation mode that opens and closes in parallel with the game board 101, whereas the player side end portion 71d of the movable arm 71 moves up and down. The excitement is enhanced by moving the pieces 10, 10 and the movable arm 71 in different directions. A part of the front decorative plate 11 that is closest to the line of sight for the player is formed in the movable arm 71, so that it is easy to attract the player's attention.

  Furthermore, since the movable arm 71 can be disposed adjacent to the lower side of the front decorative plate 11 that covers the lower half of the rotary wing pieces 10, 10, the movable arm 71 is relatively free from obstructing the flow of balls falling on the game board 101. Can fit in a narrow space. Specifically, the player side end 71d of the movable arm 71 is located in a space formed by the main body 11a and the walls 11b and 11b of the front decorative plate 11, and the movable arms 71 are moved to the movable arm 71 by the walls 11b and 11b. Without hitting the ball, clogging and biting can be prevented.

  Moreover, since the movable arm 71 (specifically, both side tip portions 71b and 71b) and the pair of rotating blade pieces 10 and 10 are driven by the pair of transmission arms 21d and 21d on both sides of the winning opening 7, the movable arm 71 is movable. The arm 71 and the rotating blade pieces 10 and 10 are less likely to be twisted and momented, can be moved more precisely, and have a long life.

  Further, the separation distance (W) between the both end portions 71b and 71b of the movable arm 71, the separation distance (L1) between the pair of transmission arms 21d and 21d of the transmission member 21, and the rotation axis distance between the rotation blade pieces 10 and 10. With respect to (L2), since the relationship of L1≈W <L2 is set, the movable arm 71 can be continuously moved without interfering with the operation of the rotary blade pieces 10, 10.

  Next, FIG. 7 shows details of an arrangement example of the light emitting member 72 in the second state (a state in which the light of the light emitting member 72 reaches the player). In Fig.7 (a), the light derivation | leading-out holes 11g and 11g are arrange | positioned at the center part of the main-body part 11a of the front side decoration part 11 left-right symmetrically (refer FIG. 3). The positions of the light outlet holes 11g and 11g are set in the lower part of the roof portion 11f. The light of the light emitting member 72 leaks from the light outlet holes 11g and 11g and presents a state where it always appears to shine. As shown in FIG. 3 (b), recesses 11h and 11h are formed on the front surface of the main body 11a in a reverse eight-letter shape that is continuous with the light outlet holes 11g and 11g. Therefore, the light guide holes 11g and 11g can express a state where the eyes of the devil or the eyes are shining in combination with the shape and pattern of the front decoration portion 11. Note that, for example, by attaching an acrylic diffusion plate to the recesses 11h and 11h, light from the light guide holes 11g and 11g can be diffused and shined.

  FIG. 7B and FIG. 8 which is an exploded perspective view thereof show an example in which a lens 75 is mounted on the front side of the light emitting member 72. As shown in FIG. 8, fastening member insertion holes 76a and 76a are formed in a lens mounting plate 76 to which a lens 75 is fixed. Then, the lens mounting plate 76 is sandwiched between the substrate 73 and the base plate 12 and inserted and fixed to the insertion portions 11 d and 11 d of the front decoration portion 11 by fastening members 74 and 74. As a result, the lens 75 is fixed in a state of being fitted into the light passage port 12e. When the lens 75 is disposed as shown in FIG. 7B, the rotary blade pieces 10 and 10 and the front decoration portion 11 can be partially irradiated by the light diffusion effect. On the other hand, when the lens 75 is not provided as shown in FIG. 7A, relatively strong light can be irradiated to the player side.

  In this embodiment, the solenoid 30 is used as the drive actuator, but other linear stepping motors or the like can be used.
