Description

  The present invention relates to a light emitting unit capable of realizing an effect by light such as a patrol light (rotary lamp), although it does not use any moving parts such as a rotating body that requires a large installation space.

In the pachinko machine, various board parts such as a prize opening, a windmill, a symbol display device, and an electrical decoration device are provided on the board surface of the game board in order to diversify the game contents. Then, when a game ball wins at the start winning opening provided on the game board, the symbols displayed on the symbol display device in the game board start to fluctuate, and the symbols stopped after the lapse of a predetermined time are predetermined jackpot symbols. When it becomes, it becomes a big hit state, and a player can acquire a lot of balls. In such a gaming machine, various display effects are performed in order to enhance the interest of the game.
For example, the stage effect is enhanced by moving or deforming the movable surface parts in various directions triggered by winnings during the game or other changes in the situation (Patent Documents 1 and 2). In addition, for the purpose of visually expressing and informing changes in the situation such as changes in the game state on the game board, and for the purpose of achieving an electric decoration effect in the progress of the game, the game board, movable board surface parts, and other arbitrary parts A light-emitting device such as an LED lamp or a filament lamp is disposed in (Patent Documents 3 and 4).

By the way, in pachinko machines, the effect of moving light from a single light source in a circular locus, such as light emitted by a patrol light (rotating light), is configured to emit light while rotating the light source such as an LED or a lamp. This can be easily realized. However, when the size of the board surface component is limited to be small, it is often difficult to mount the patrol on the board surface component. That is, in order to rotate the light source, it is necessary to mount an electrical decoration unit comprising a motor, a rotating body that is rotationally driven by the motor, and a light source mounted on the rotating body on the panel surface component. When it is not possible to secure a space for arranging the illumination unit, it is a reality that the patrol light cannot be mounted even if it is necessary for production.
In such a case, there is a possibility that the effect on the progress of the game is limited, and the interest of the game may be reduced. Such a problem is a problem that frequently occurs in the design of board parts in pachinko machines, but no effective countermeasure has been proposed so far.

JP 2004-195084 A Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 06-007509 JP 2009-000303 A JP 2009-066211

Conventionally, an effect of moving light while drawing a circular or arcuate locus like a patrol light requires a configuration and a group of parts to emit light while rotating a light source such as an LED or a lamp. When there was no space to mount the group, it was praised as impossible to realize at the design stage, and it was necessary to accept the malfunction in the production.
The present invention has been made in view of the above, and does not use a group of components that cause an increase in size and complexity, such as a motor, a rotating body, and the like. An object of the present invention is to provide a light-emitting unit that can realize an effect by moving light such as a light.

A light emitting unit comprising a reflecting member having a reflecting surface for reflecting in different directions, a reflecting plate for reflecting light from the reflecting member in a predetermined direction, and a control means for controlling the light emission timing of each LED. The reflective surface of the first reflective member at the one end reflects the light emitted from the corresponding LED, and the reflective surface of the second reflective member at the intermediate position exits from the corresponding LED. The direction in which the reflected light is reflected and the direction in which the reflecting surface of the third reflecting member at the other end reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED are sequentially shifted by a predetermined angle toward one direction, and the control means The first After the LED corresponding to the projecting member is caused to emit light / extinguish, the LED corresponding to the second reflecting member and the LED corresponding to the third reflecting member are sequentially emitted and extinguished from each reflecting surface. Each of the reflected lights is configured to move while drawing a predetermined locus.
Even when it is desired to produce an effect using a revolving light in which light from one light source rotates like a patrol light, the revolving light cannot be mounted if there is no space for arranging a motor, a rotating member, and the like. Therefore, in the present invention, three or more LEDs are arranged close to each other, and light from one light source is moved by sequentially emitting light in different directions from the reflecting members arranged close to each LED. It was designed to make the viewer feel the illusion of a rotating light. According to this, by using a moving light such as a patrol light (rotating lamp) using only a fixed member without using a component group which causes an increase in size and complexity such as a motor and a rotating body. Production can be realized.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, each of the reflecting members has a hollow projection shape with one surface open, and the LEDs are emitted in a state where the LEDs are arranged in the open portions of the reflecting members. The light reflected by the reflecting surface provided on the light is emitted to the outside of the reflecting member.
Part of the light from the LED is emitted from the reflecting surface in a predetermined direction, and the other part of the light is emitted directly in the same direction. By configuring the reflecting member in a hollow protrusion, that a likely limit the emission direction.

  As described above, according to the present invention, three or more LEDs are arranged close to each other, and light is emitted in different directions sequentially from the reflecting members arranged in close proximity to each LED. It is configured to cause the viewer to feel the illusion of a rotating light with moving light. According to this, by using a moving light such as a patrol light (rotating lamp) using only a fixed member without using a component group which causes an increase in size and complexity such as a motor and a rotating body. Production can be realized.

2 (a) and 2 (b) are front views for explaining the operation of the jack-up device including the light emitting unit according to the embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is a front perspective view of the jack-up device. FIG. 4 is an exploded perspective view of the back side of the jack-up device. Further, FIGS. 5A and 5B are perspective views showing the main configuration of the light emitting unit, and FIGS. 6A to 6D are front views showing the light emitting states of the light emitting members constituting the light emitting unit. 7A to 7D are plan views showing the light emission state of the light emitting member, and FIG. 8A is a front view showing the reflection state of the light emitted from each LED. (C) and (d) are cross-sectional views taken along lines b, c, and d, respectively.
The jack-up device (board surface component) 31 includes a decorative body 32 that moves up and down between a retracted position retracted downward from the opening of the center member 5 and a raised position that protrudes into the opening, and a drive that moves the decorative body 32 up and down. The driving mechanism 70 is a source, and a control means 80 that controls the operation of the driving mechanism 70 and the light emission timing of each LED 61. The jack-up device 31 is used to enhance the effect by projecting the decorative body 32 from the retracted position to the raised position in response to a change in the gaming state.
The decorative body 32 includes a front member 33 with a symbol representing the police on the front surface, an electric decoration holder 35 that is screwed to the front member 33 from the back side, and a reflective member that is held by the electric decoration holder 35 And a printed circuit board 60 on which the unit 40 and the LED 61 are mounted. The reflecting member unit 40, the printed board 60 (LED 61), the reflecting plate 38, which will be described later, and the control means 80 constitute a light emitting unit U.

The front member 33 includes a decorative plate member 33a having a substantially rectangular front shape, and a horizontally long palite case 33b continuously integrated along the upper edge of the decorative plate member 33a. It is comprised from the material which has. The front member 33 includes a drive mechanism 70 at a lower portion thereof.
The electric decoration holder 35 is fitted in the back side recess of the patrol case 33b, and is connected to the frame body portion 36 fitted in the back side recess of the decorative plate member 33a. A narrow strip-shaped reflecting member support portion 37 and a plurality of (five) reflecting plates 38 supported by the reflecting member support portion 37 are provided.
The reflection member unit 40 is disposed between a horizontal base member 41 made of resin, three sets of reflection member groups 42 protruding from the upper surface of the base member 41 at a predetermined interval, and the reflection member group 42. And a dome-shaped reflecting member 50.

  Each reflecting member group 42 includes three hollow projecting reflecting members (first, second and third reflecting members) 43, 44 and 45 which are adjacently disposed along the longitudinal direction of the base member 41. Has been. Each of the reflecting members 43, 44, 45 has an open lower surface, and when the upper surface of the printed circuit board 60 is attached to the lower surface of the base member 41, each LED 61a, 61b on the printed circuit board is placed in the lower surface open portion of each reflecting member. 61c are fitted one by one (see FIG. 8). Each of the reflecting members 43, 44, and 45 has a substantially triangular cross-sectional shape. The reflecting surfaces 43a, 44a, and 45a are slightly inclined downward, and the emitting surfaces 43b and 44b that are opposed to the reflecting surfaces and are inclined upward are provided. 45b. Each reflection surface 43a, 44a, 45a is configured by forming a reflection film on the inner surface of each reflection member. The inclination angle is set so as to be emitted toward 45b. The emission surfaces 43b, 44b, and 45b are configured to be transparent (or translucent) so as to emit the light from each LED 61a, 61b, and 61c and the reflected light from each reflection surface to the outside, and the inclination thereof. The angle is set.

Further, the reflection direction by each reflection surface 43a, 44a, 45a and the emission direction from each emission surface 43b, 44b, 45b are not the same, and when viewed in plan as shown in FIGS. In this example, it is shifted in one direction by 180 degrees). In this example, the reflecting surface 43a and the emitting surface 43b of the first reflecting member 43 are configured to emit light from the LED 61a backward, while the reflecting surfaces 44a and 44a of the second reflecting member 44 are arranged. The emission surface 44b is configured to emit light from the LED 61b forward. Further, the reflection surface 45a and the emission surface 45b of the third reflection member 45 are configured to emit light from the LED 61c forward. Each emission surface 43b, 44b, 45b may be a simple opening. That is, each reflective member 43, 44, 45 may have a configuration having only a reflective surface.
In addition, since the reflecting plate 38 is arrange | positioned at the back side of each reflection member 43,44,45, the light radiate | emitted once backward from the 1st and 3rd reflection members 43 and 45 is each reflection. Since the light is reflected forward by the reflecting surface of the plate 38, the player located in the front can surely visually recognize the light emitted backward from the reflecting members 43 and 45. That is, the light emitted backward from each of the reflecting members 43 and 45 is projected on the reflecting surface of the reflecting plate 38 so that the player does not overlook the light. For this reason, the player can recognize that the light emission and extinction were performed sequentially and continuously from each of the reflecting members 43, 44 and 45.

Thus, in the light emitting unit U of the present embodiment, the reflecting surface 43a of the first reflecting member 43 at one end (left end) reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED 61a and emits it from the emitting surface 43b. On the other hand, the reflecting surface 44a of the second reflecting member 44 at the intermediate position reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED 61b and emits it from the emitting surface 44b, and the third at the other end (right end). The direction in which the reflection surface 45a of the reflection member 45 reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED 61c and emits the light from the emission surface 45b is sequentially shifted in one direction by a predetermined angle. In this example, since the emission directions (reflection directions) from the reflecting members 43, 44, and 45 are shifted by 180 degrees, the emission directions from the first and third reflecting members 43 and 45 are the same.
The control unit 80 causes the LED 61a corresponding to the first reflecting member 43 to emit light and extinguish, and then causes the LED 61b corresponding to the second reflecting member 44 and the LED 61c corresponding to the third reflecting member to sequentially emit and extinguish light. By controlling in this way, it can be made to visually recognize that each emitted light from each reflection member 43, 44, 45 moves to a horizontal direction, drawing a predetermined locus | trajectory. That is, when light emission from each reflecting member is seen from the front, it is recognized that light from one light source moves from left to right. It should be noted that the number of reflection members constituting each reflection member group and the emission direction can be variously changed.
By forming each reflecting member in the shape of a hollow protrusion and providing a reflecting surface and an emitting surface, the emitting direction can be easily limited to an arbitrary direction.

In addition, a reflector 38 is disposed behind each of the reflecting members 43, 44, 45 (FIGS. 8A and 8B), and the first and third reflections emit light toward the rear. Since the emitted light from the members 43 and 45 is reflected forward by the corresponding reflector 38, a sufficient amount of reflected light toward the front can be secured, and the outgoing light from the second reflecting member 44 forwards. The amount of light is equivalent to the incident light (FIG. 8C). For this reason, the amount of light emitted from the reflecting members 43 and 45 that emit light backward can be made equal to the amount of light from the reflecting member 44 that emits forward. An impression that the emitted light has continuity can be given.
The dome-shaped reflecting member 50 is made of a dense transparent material, and diffuses light from the LED in all directions as shown in FIG.
The drive mechanism 70 serving as a drive source for raising and lowering the decorative body 32 may have any configuration. In this example, for example, as shown in FIG. 4, a motor 71 and an output gear provided on the output shaft of the motor A link mechanism 73 that operates by rotating 72 and expands and contracts in the vertical direction.

The operation of the jackup device having the above configuration will be described.
When the control means 80 shifts to a predetermined gaming state, the control means 80 controls the drive mechanism 70 to raise the decorative body 32 in the retracted position shown in FIG. Further, the control means 80 controls the lighting and extinguishing timing of each LED 61 (61a, 61b, 61c) when the decorative body 32 is in the raised position (projecting position), and sequentially emits each LED 61a, 61b, 61c, Turn off the light. As shown in FIGS. 6 (a), (c), (d) and FIGS. 7 (a), (c), and (d), the first and third reflecting members 43, 45 whose emission direction (reflection direction) faces rearward. As shown in FIG. 8 (b), the light from the back is reflected forward by the reflector 38 located behind, so that the player located forward can clearly recognize this light. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 7B, the light from the second reflecting member 44 whose emission direction (reflection direction) is directed forward is directly as shown in FIG. 8C. It is emitted forward.
Then, after the LED 61a corresponding to the first reflecting member 43 is turned on / off, the LED 61b corresponding to the second reflecting member 44 and the LED 61c corresponding to the third reflecting member 45 are successively turned on / off. By doing so, when the player sees from the front, the illusion that each outgoing light (reflected light) from each of the reflecting members 43, 44, 45 moves in the right direction while drawing an arc-shaped trajectory can be made. it can. This light trajectory appears to be equivalent to the light trajectory obtained by rotating the light source of the patrol light (same light source).

The light emitting unit U according to the present invention includes a reflecting member unit 40, a printed circuit board 60 (LED 61), a reflecting plate 38, and a control means 80, and has a movable part, but is like a rotating lamp. An effect of moving light can be realized. For this reason, by mounting the light emitting unit U on a panel component having only a limited installation space, it is possible to realize an effect by movement of light equivalent to a rotating lamp.
In the above-described embodiment, a configuration example in which three reflecting members are arranged in a row has been described. However, the number of reflecting members may be any number as long as the number is three or more. Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the emission direction of the 1st and 3rd reflection member was made into back, the emission direction of the 1st and 3rd reflection part agent was made into the front, and the emission direction of the 2nd reflection member was made into back. It is good.
Needless to say, if the third reflecting member is caused to emit light first, and then the second and first light emitting members are caused to emit light sequentially, the moving direction of the light can be reversed.

Next, FIG. 9A shows the light emission timing and light emission of the three LEDs 61a, 61b, 61c (A, B, C) arranged corresponding to the first to third light emitting members 43, 44, 45, respectively. It is a figure which shows an example of quantity, (b) And (c) is a wave form diagram which shows the example which controls light quantity by pulse control. In this embodiment, simple control is not performed to cause each LED to emit light at the maximum light amount (output 100) or to turn off (output 0), but to perform precise control including the case of emitting light at an intermediate light amount (output 50). By doing so, the player has an illusion that the movement trajectory of light from each light emitting member is equivalent to the trajectory of light obtained by rotating the light source of the patrol light (the same light source).
As shown in FIG. 9A, at the start, the first LED 61a (A) is set to “dark”, the second LED 61b (B) and the third LED 61c (C) are set to “off”, and then each LED 61a, 61b and 61c are sequentially “bright / dark / off” → “dark / bright / dark” → “off / dark / bright” → “off / off / dark” → “off / off / dark”. Control is performed so that “dark” as an intermediate output is always entered during the subsequent transition from “bright” to “bright” and “bright” to “off”.
As shown in FIGS. 9B and 9C, when the output 100 is obtained, for example, one continuous total output (ON) time is set to 1 second, while when the output 50 is obtained, 7 pulses per second are obtained. The light quantity is halved by outputting.
As described above, in the present invention, gradation can be applied to the lighting pattern of each LED, thereby producing a smoother effect by changing the light emission amount.

It is a top view which shows the principal part structure of the light emitting unit U which concerns. The same parts as those in the above embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.
In the light emitting unit U according to this embodiment, a plurality (five in this example) of reflecting members 46a to 46e are arranged in a row on the base member 41, and are emitted from the LEDs 61 and reflected by the reflecting members. The configuration in which the light emission directions are sequentially shifted is characteristic.
In this example, the first reflecting member 46a is configured to emit light from the corresponding LED backward, while the second to fifth light emitting members 46b, 46c, 46d, and 46e change the light emitting direction. Sequentially shifted by 90 degrees in one direction (counterclockwise direction). The control means 80 sequentially emits the LED corresponding to the first reflecting member 46a, turns it off, and emits it from the second light emitting member 46b at the same time, in order of the third, fourth, fifth, Control is performed so that each first light emitting member emits light and extinguishes. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 11, it is possible to make an illusion like light emitted from a rotating lamp in which light from the same light source moves from left to right as viewed from the eyes of a player positioned in front.

Next, FIGS. 12A and 12B are plan views showing the main configuration of a light emitting unit U according to another embodiment of the present invention. The same parts as those in the above embodiment will be described with the same reference numerals.
In the light emitting unit U of FIG. 12A, a plurality of, in this example, three, hollow projection-like reflecting members 46a, 46b, 46c are arranged in an annular shape (triangular shape), and the inside (closest) of each reflecting member. Are sequentially arranged in the directions indicated by the arrows (directions shifted by 120 degrees) on the reflecting surfaces (see reflecting surfaces 43a, 44a, and 45a in FIG. 8) provided on the respective reflecting member sides with light from the LEDs 61 not shown. It is configured to emit light. Numbers (1) to (3) in the figure indicate the order of light emission and extinguishing. With this configuration, it is possible to obtain a light trajectory similar to light emitted from a rotating lamp. Further, the reflecting member can be installed in a narrow space.
In addition, the light emitting unit U in FIG. 12B includes a plurality of, in this example, four, hollow projection-like reflecting members 46a, 46b, 46c, and 46d arranged in an annular shape (rectangular shape). Light from LEDs (not shown) disposed inside (most recently) is emitted in a direction indicated by an arrow (a direction shifted by 90 degrees) on a reflecting surface provided on each reflecting member side. Numbers (1) to (4) in the figure indicate the order in which light is emitted and extinguished. With this configuration, it is possible to obtain a light trajectory similar to light emitted from a rotating lamp. Further, the reflecting member can be installed in a narrow space.

  That is, the light emitting unit U according to each embodiment shown in FIGS. 12 (a) and 12 (b) includes at least three LEDs 61 arranged in a ring shape and fixedly arranged in a ring shape corresponding to each LED. , And reflection means 46a, 46b, 46c,... Each having a reflection surface for reflecting the emitted light in different directions, and a control means 80 for controlling the light emission timing of each LED. The direction in which the reflecting surface of the second reflecting member 46b reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED with respect to the direction in which the reflecting surface of the first reflecting member 46a reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED. The direction in which the reflecting surface of the third reflecting member 46c adjacent to each other reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED is sequentially shifted in one direction by a predetermined angle. Further, the control unit 80 causes the LED corresponding to the second reflecting member and the LED corresponding to the third reflecting member to sequentially emit and extinguish after turning on and off the LED corresponding to the first reflecting member. Thus, each reflected light from each reflecting surface moves while drawing a predetermined locus.

As described above, according to the present invention, a patrol light (rotary lamp) is used by using only a fixed member without using a movable part group that causes an increase in size and complexity, such as a motor and a rotating body. It is possible to achieve an effect by moving light such as

The direction in which the light is reflected and the direction in which the reflecting surface of the third reflecting member at the other end reflects the emitted light from the corresponding LED is sequentially shifted toward one direction by a predetermined angle,
The control means sequentially emits and extinguishes the LED corresponding to the second reflecting member and the LED corresponding to the third reflecting member after emitting and extinguishing the LED corresponding to the first reflecting member. Thus, the light emitting unit is configured such that each reflected light from each reflecting surface moves while drawing a predetermined locus.   Each of the reflecting members has a hollow projection shape with one surface open, and the LED is made to emit light in a state in which the LEDs are arranged in the open portion of the reflecting member. The light emitting unit according to claim 1, wherein the reflected light is configured to be emitted to the outside of the reflecting member.
