Description

  The present invention is a decorative body that can exhibit a characteristic effect in the progress of the game by opening and closing and moving the decorative body in and out in a direction substantially parallel to the board surface on the game board surface constituting the pachinko gaming machine. The present invention relates to a drive unit, a rendering device, a game board, and a pachinko gaming machine.

In pachinko machines, various board parts such as a prize opening, windmill, variable display device, and lighting device are provided on the board surface of the game board in order to diversify the contents of the game, winning prizes during the game, and other situation changes The stage effect is enhanced by moving the movable panel surface parts in various directions.
For example, when a game ball wins a start winning opening provided on the game board, the symbol displayed on the variable display device in the game board starts to change, and the symbol stopped after a predetermined time elapses is a predetermined jackpot symbol. 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, Patent Document 1 relating to the proposal of the present applicant includes a first movable accessory that reciprocates in the left-right direction parallel to the board surface of the game board, and a second movable accessory that reciprocates in the front-rear direction of the game board. , An accessory device including the above is disclosed. According to this, it is possible to realize an effect corresponding to the complexity and sophistication of game contents.
Patent Document 2 also discloses a configuration for operating the first movable member and the second movable member.

However, when each movable accessory is moved up and down and left and right using the gear mechanism, it is difficult to maintain the state where the movable accessory is stopped at an arbitrary position on the game board surface. In other words, due to backlash between gears, dimensional error between members, etc., the movable accessory often stops in a state of being deviated from the original stop position, which interferes with the path of the game ball or deteriorates the appearance. It becomes a cause to reduce the interest of the game.
Such inconvenience is particularly likely to occur in a board surface component having a structure in which a movable accessory is attached to the tip of a long arm that rotates in a direction parallel to the board surface around a rotation shaft provided at one end. This is because when the long arm is stopped because the distance between the pivot shaft provided at one end of the long arm and the movable accessory provided at the other end is long, the long arm and the movable accessory This is because it is difficult to reliably stop at the stop position due to its own weight and the backlash of the gear portion.
In particular, when a movable accessory pivotally supported on the tip of the long arm is driven to rotate by the motor, it is difficult to mount the motor on the tip of the long arm due to weight balance and durability. In many cases, it becomes necessary to transmit the driving force from the driving source arranged on the game board surface side to the movable accessory, but it is difficult to construct a configuration for transmitting the driving force.
In addition, the driving force from the motor is transmitted to the pivot shaft of the long arm via the gear mechanism and swung, so that the movable accessory supported at the tip of the long arm can be rapidly advanced and retracted on the game board surface. When operating, the drive gear is rotated at a high speed, or the gear ratio between the drive gear and the driven gear is increased to increase the number of rotations of the driven gear as much as possible when the drive gear makes one rotation. There is a need to. However, when the drive gear is rotated at a high speed, there is a problem that the load on the motor increases and the durability decreases. Further, when the gear ratio is adjusted as described above, the drive gear becomes large, and layout problems are likely to occur.

Next, FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a configuration of a decorative body drive unit according to an embodiment of the present invention, where (a) shows a decorative body retracted state and (b) shows a decorative body operating state. FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the decorative body drive unit. FIGS. 4A, 4B and 5A, 5B are explanatory diagrams showing an operation procedure when the decorative body in the retracted position is moved in the operating direction and then returned to the retracted position.
The decorative body drive unit 30 according to the present invention rotates in a direction substantially parallel to the game board surface around the first rotation shaft 32 fixed in position with respect to the game board surface and is eccentric to a position eccentric from the first rotation shaft 32. A rotary member 31 having a shaft 33, a first arm 35 that is rotatably supported at one end by an eccentric shaft 33 on the rotary member 31, and swings substantially parallel to the game board surface by the rotation of the rotary member 31, and position fixing The second rotation shaft 41 is provided with a second arm 40 that is pivotally supported at one end by a second rotation shaft 41 and rotatably supports a decorative body 45 at the other end. Then, the other end portion of the first arm 35 is rotatably supported by a shaft portion 42 provided at an appropriate position of the second arm 40 close to the second rotation shaft 41, so that the second arm 35 is swung by the first arm 35. The arm 40 is swung (rotated) about the second rotation shaft 41 substantially parallel to the game board surface.
Each member that swings the second arm 40 that supports the decorative body 45 constitutes a decorative body swinging mechanism.
Furthermore, an urging member 50 is provided that is disposed on a path along which the decorative body 45 moves when the second arm 40 swings, and rotates the decorative body in contact with the outer peripheral surface of the decorative body.

The first rotation shaft 32 may be arranged directly on the game board surface, or may be arranged on the support plate 36 fixed to the game board surface. Therefore, the “first rotating shaft 32 fixed in position relative to the game board surface” includes both the case where the position is fixed on the game board surface and the case where the position is fixed on the support plate 36.
In this example, the decorative body drive unit 30 is disposed in the upper right part and the upper left part of the image display device 5 disposed in the opening provided in the game board 2, respectively, and is retracted as shown in FIG. It moves forward and backward between the position and the operating position (projecting position) shown in (b).
The front surface of the image display device 5 is opened and closed by two open / close doors 60 that are shaped like shoji. The opening / closing door 60 drives a rack gear member 61 that moves forward and backward in a lateral direction by a guide (not shown) provided along the lower side of the image display device 5, a pinion gear 62 that meshes with and drives the rack gear member 61, and the pinion gear 62. It is opened and closed by a motor (not shown). The drive timing of the motor is controlled by control means (not shown). In this example, since the opening / closing door 60 is a gimmick that is shaped like a shoji lattice, the inside of the shoji lattice is open, and the image display device 5 located behind the opening (translucent portion) of the shoji lattice. The screen (video) is visible.
The decorative body drive unit 30 is disposed at an outer position (outer diameter side position) that does not interfere with the screen of the image display device 5, and is disposed at a front position that does not interfere with the opening / closing locus of the opening / closing door 60. For this reason, the operation | movement which does not interfere mutually is attained (FIG. 3).
The decorative body drive unit 30 is in the retracted state when the opening / closing door 60 is in the open state shown in FIG. 2A, and the opening / closing door is in the closed state shown in FIG. The decorative body drive unit 30 shifts to the operating state (projecting state) in relation to the image on the screen of the image display device 5.

Next, based on FIG. 4, FIG. 5, operation | movement of the decoration body drive unit 30 in the lower left side of FIG. 2 is demonstrated. Note that the decorative body drive unit 30 on the upper right side has the same configuration and operates in the same manner.
First, at the initial position shown in FIG. 4A, the rotating member 31 is stopped with the eccentric shaft 33 positioned at the lowermost position, and therefore the shaft portion 42 that supports the other end portion of the first arm 35 is provided. The second arm 40 is pushed downward and is in a state of being retracted to the outside of the screen of the image display device 5. For this reason, the decorative body 45 supported at the tip of the second arm 40 is also in the retracted position.
Next, when the rotating member 31 starts to rotate in the counterclockwise direction indicated by the arrow by driving a motor (not shown), the eccentric shaft 33 rises, so that the first arm 35 is moved to the second arm as shown in FIG. 4B. 40 is pushed up by a required angle, and the decorative body 45 at the tip of the second arm 40 starts to move into the screen of the image display device. In the process of rotating the rotating member 31 from the position of FIG. 4A to the position of FIG. 5A through FIG. 4B, the first arm 35 moves with a short stroke. Since the distal end portion is pivotally supported by the shaft portion 42 located near the second rotation shaft 41 of the second arm 40, the second arm 40 can be moved very quickly. That is, in the process in which the first arm 35 moves a short distance, the second arm 40 can quickly swing over a large angle range. Similarly, when the second arm returns to the initial position, it can move quickly.

Moreover, since the gear mechanism provided with the unstable factor by backlash etc. is not used, the attitude | position of the decoration body which moved to the protrusion position and was stationary can be maintained stably.
The position of the shaft portion 42 on the second arm 40 is preferably a position biased toward the second rotating shaft 41, and the closer to the second rotating shaft 41, the first arm 35 is operated with a shorter stroke. Only the second arm can be swung quickly.
In this embodiment, a wide portion 40a is provided at the end of the second arm 40, and the shaft portion 42 is provided on the wide portion 40a avoiding the shaft 41, thereby transmitting the driving force from the first arm to the second arm. Is streamlining.
Further, by bending the second arm 40 at the intermediate portion without using a linear configuration, it is possible to prevent a part of the second arm from appearing on the screen when in the retracted position.

In the process of moving the decorative body 45 from the retracted position to the operating position, the decorative body 45 is laid out so as to pass through the urging member 50 while being in contact therewith. The urging member 50 is supported by a rotating piece 52 that is rotatably supported by a shaft 51, and the rotating piece 52 is urged clockwise by an elastic member (not shown). The urging member 50 is made of a material having a high friction coefficient, such as rubber, on the outer peripheral surface, and presses against the outer peripheral surface of the decorative body 45 when the decorative body 45 moves upward about the second rotation shaft 41. . At this time, since the decorative body 45 tries to pass while pushing up the biasing member 50 upward, a strong frictional resistance is generated between the decorative body 45 and the decorative body 45 urged and rotated. To do. Thus, without using a dedicated drive source for rotating the decorative body 45, the decorative body 45 can be rotated by providing the biasing member 50 that biases the decorative body 45 during the forward / backward movement of the decorative body 45. It has become.
Further, when the rotation of the rotating member 31 proceeds and the eccentric shaft 33 reaches the uppermost position shown in FIG. 5A, the second arm 40 is pushed up most by the first arm 35, and the decorative body 45 is also moved. Reach the highest position. Even in this state, the decorative body 45 can continue to rotate due to inertia.

Next, when the rotating member 31 rotates as shown in FIG. 5B and the eccentric shaft 33 starts to descend from the uppermost part, the second arm 40 is pulled down by the first arm 35, and finally FIG. ) To the initial position.
Next, based on FIG. 6 thru | or FIG. 8, operation | movement of the decoration body drive unit in the relationship between an image display apparatus and the production | presentation by an opening / closing apparatus is demonstrated.
The decorative body 45 is a gimmick that represents Kanei Tsuho, an Edo-era currency used by Heiji Zenigata, and the size of each decorative body 45 provided in the decorative body driving unit 30 arranged in two places above and below is different. ing. In the present embodiment, the decorative body 45 of the decorative body drive unit disposed at the upper right is a large-diameter Kanei Treasure, and the lower left decorative body is a small-diameter Kanei Tsuho.
In the state of FIG. 6A, since the opening / closing member 60 is in an open state, the decorative body drive unit 30 is in the retracted position and does not operate. When the game content reaches a predetermined game state, the pinion gear 62 is operated and the opening / closing member 60 reaches the closed position as shown in FIG. In this state, the screen of the image display device 5 can be visually recognized from the gap between the lattices of the opening / closing members shaped like a shoji. As shown in FIG. 6B and FIG. 7A, on the screen, a large-diameter Kanei Tsuho 70 (shaded area) flies from the outside of the screen toward the center of the screen, and stops at the center of the screen. Is projected.

Immediately after the shadow of the large-diameter Kanei Tsuho 70 stops at the center of the screen as shown in FIG. 7 (a), the decorative body drive unit 30 on the upper right side is operated as shown in FIG. 7 (b), The decorative body 45 is moved to the position immediately before the image of the Kanei Tsuho 70 in the center of the screen and stopped. The decorative body 45 stops moving at the center of the screen to conceal the video of the Kanei Tsuho 70, and at the same time, the screen signifies a piece of shoji paper or a lattice when the shoji is broken along the outer periphery of the decorative body 45 71 is displayed as an image. For this reason, the player causes an illusion that Kanei Tsuho 70, which was located behind the shoji, suddenly broke the shoji and appeared ahead.
Note that the decorative body 45 can continue to rotate by the action of the biasing member 50 even if the movement of the decorative body 45 is stopped at the center of the screen.
As described above, the decorative body drive unit 30 of the present invention can move the decorative body 45 in the retracted position to the center of the screen at high speed by only rotating the rotating member 31 halfway. The decorative body appears as if it suddenly appeared on the screen, and an image can be given as if the image of Kanei Tsuho 70 located on the back side of the opening / closing member suddenly broke the opening / closing member 60 and appeared forward. The relationship between the rotation angle of the rotation member 31 and the swing angle of the second arm 40 can be arbitrarily adjusted.

FIG. 8 shows a state in which the decorative body driving unit 30 disposed on the lower left side is activated. In this case, operations similar to those described in FIGS. 6 and 7 are performed except that the image (shadow) of the Kanei Tsuho 70 projected on the screen becomes a small-diameter image corresponding to the small-diameter decorative body 45. Do.
The decorative body driving unit 30 according to the above embodiment can construct one rendering device by operating in association with the opening / closing member 60 and the video on the screen of the image display device 5.
That is, the rendering device including the decorative body driving unit 30, the opening / closing member 60, and the image display device 5 according to the present invention has a screen of the image display device that is located on the back side of the translucent portion when the opening / closing member 60 is in the closed state. While projecting an image 70 having the same outline or design as the decorative body 45 on the upper side, the decorative body appears on the front surface of the opening / closing member corresponding to the front of the image 70, and further, outside the decorative body at the protruding position A pattern 71 indicating a state in which a part of the opening / closing member is torn along the periphery appears on the screen.
As described above, in a drive transmission mechanism used when a decorative body (gimmick) is rotatably supported on the other end of a long arm that is pivotally supported at one end, the long arm is swung. In order to increase the speed, the configuration using the two arms according to the present invention is more effective than the gear mechanism. And according to the said structure, unlike the gear mechanism which had the malfunction by backlash etc., a decoration body is easy to be made to stabilize stably. In addition, although it is difficult to arrange a driving source for rotating the decorative body after the decorative body is swung on the long arm, since the biasing member is used in the present invention, the decorative body is simplified while simplifying the configuration. It can be rotated (rotated) effectively.
In addition, since the decorative body drive unit of the present invention can rapidly advance and retract the decorative body, it realizes a characteristic effect using the illusion of the player's illusion by entanglement with the video on the image display device. be able to.

Next, FIGS. 9A to 9C and FIGS. 10D and 10E are diagrams illustrating the configuration and operation of a decorative body drive unit according to another embodiment of the present invention.
The decorative body drive unit 80 is disposed at each of the upper and lower positions of an opening / closing member 60 that is shaped like a shoji that opens and closes the front surface of the image display device 5. Both decorative body drive units 80 have the same configuration except for the difference in size of the decorative body 83 that is shaped like a coin (Kanei Tsuho).
The decorative body drive unit 80 includes an arm 82 that swings around a rotation shaft 81 that is fixed in position, a decorative body 83 that is pivotally supported by the tip of the arm 82, and a decorative body that swings when the arm 82 swings.
