(About the operation mode of the movable effect device 40)
Next, the operation mode of the movable effect device 40 will be described in relation to the drive control of the drive motor 46 by the drive control device. In addition, it demonstrates on the basis of the state which each movable member 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B in the 1st and 2nd fan movable bodies 47 and 48 is stopped in the accommodation position. 10 to 11 are schematic views showing the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B in the first and second fan movable bodies 47, 48 viewed from the back side. . When a predetermined predetermined operating condition is satisfied when a pachinko ball is won in the winning opening 22a of the start winning device 22, a pulse signal is output from the drive control device to each of the drive motors 46 to be operated. The The drive motor 46 corresponding to the first fan movable body 47 and the drive motor 46 corresponding to the second fan movable body 48 are synchronously controlled so that the rotation directions of the motors are opposite, The first and fourth movable members 51A, 51B of the respective fan movable bodies 47, 48 connected to the drive motor 46 start to rotate from the housing position toward the movable position so that the contact surfaces 57A, 57B are close to each other. .

At this time, the first guide roller 64A provided in the first the fan movable member 47, the second movable member 61A in spaced end portions 55A ₁ of the first guide hole 55A with the rotation of the first movable member 51A (See FIG. 10C), the second movable member 61A starts rotating from the accommodation position toward the movable position along with the rotation of the first movable member 51A, and the second movable member 61A rotates. When the second guide rollers 74A provided in the third movable member 71A in spaced end portions 65A ₁ of the second guide hole 65A with the abut, said third movable member 71A and the second movable member 61A (i.e. the As the first movable member 51A) rotates, the rotation starts from the accommodation position toward the movable position. Similarly, in the second fan movable body 48, the fourth movable member 51B is rotated, the fifth movable member 61B is rotated after a predetermined time, and then the sixth movable member 71B is rotated.

  Here, as shown in FIG. 10B, the corresponding position detection sensors 59A and 59B detect the position detection pieces 56A and 56B formed on the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B (see FIG. (From the storage position to the original position) is driven at the first speed where the rotational speed of the drive motors 46, 46 is low, and the first and the first positions to the original positions where the position detection sensors 59A, 59B do not detect the position detection pieces 56A, 56B When the fourth movable members 51A and 51B rotate, the rotation of the drive motors 46 and 46 is accelerated to a second speed that is faster than the first speed. When each of the first to sixth movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B is sequentially rotated to approach the movable position as the drive motors 46, 46 are driven (for example, each movable member is The rotation of the drive motor 46 is decelerated from the second speed to the first speed, and in this state, the first movable member 51A and the fourth movable member are moved to the movable position. 51B abuts (see FIG. 11B). That is, by decelerating to the first speed before the first movable member 51A and the fourth movable member 51B abut, damage when both the movable members 51A and 51B abut are effectively prevented.

  Further, the drive control device is configured so that the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A, 71A The drive motor 46 is driven and controlled to rotate 51B, 61B, 71B. For example, in the design, when the drive motor 46 is rotated by 300 milliseconds to move from the accommodation position to the movable position, the drive motor 46 is set to be driven by an extra 50 milliseconds at the first speed. As a result, the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B of the first and second fan movable bodies 47, 48 are reliably moved to the movable position and spread in a fan shape, and the first and fourth movable members are moved. The contact surfaces 57A and 57B of the members 51A and 51B come into contact with each other and the permanent magnets 58A and 58B are magnetized.

  At the movable position, a pulse signal is output to the drive motors 46 and 46 over a predetermined time (for example, 1000 milliseconds), and the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B are pressed against each other. Driven in the direction. That is, in addition to the force with which the permanent magnets 58A and 58B are magnetically attached, the contact surfaces 57A and 57B of the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B are pressed against each other, whereby both contact surfaces 57A and 57B. Is surely brought into close contact.

On the other hand, when the first and second fan movable bodies 47 and 48 are moved from the movable position to the storage position, the drive motors 46 and 46 are rotated so as to be reverse to the rotation from the storage position to the movable position. Each of 46 is driven and controlled synchronously, whereby the first and fourth movable members 51A, 51B of the respective fan movable bodies 47, 48 start to rotate so as to be separated from each other. At this time, in the first fan movable body 47, the second movable member 61A and the third movable member 71A are each formed on the first movable member 51A because a force that rotates toward the accommodation position by its own weight acts on each of the second movable member 61A and the third movable member 71A. together with the first guide roller 64A provided on the second movable member 61A in spaced end portions 55A ₁ of the first guide hole 55A abuts, the divided end portion 65A ₁ of the second guide hole 65A formed in the second movable member 61A The second guide roller 74A provided on the third movable member 71A rotates while moving from the movable position toward the accommodation position. Then, as shown in FIG. 11A, when the third movable member 71A rotates to the accommodation position and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 44A of the base member 41, the third movable member 71A comes into contact with the buffer member 76A. The rotation of the member 71A is restricted, and the first movable member 51A and the second movable member 61A rotate toward the respective accommodation positions. Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the second movable member 61A is rotated to the accommodation position and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 44A, the second guide roller 74A is moved to the proximal end portion of the second guide hole 65A. 65A ₂ in the rotation of the contact with the second movable member 61A is restricted, the first movable member 51A rotates toward the accommodation of a corresponding position. As shown in FIG. 10A, when the first movable member 51A rotates to the accommodation position and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 44A, the first guide roller 64A is the base end portion of the first guide hole 55A. rotation of the first movable member 51A is regulated in contact with the 55A _2, first to third movable member 51A, 61A, 71A is accommodated in the accommodation position corresponding to the respective overlapped back and forth.

Similarly, the second fan movable body 48 is formed on the fourth movable member 51B because a force rotating toward the accommodation position by its own weight acts on each of the fifth movable member 61B and the sixth movable member 71B. together with the first guide roller 64B provided on the divided end portion 55B ₁ of the first guide hole 55B to the fifth movable member 61B abuts, the divided end portion 65B ₁ of the second guide hole 65B formed in the fifth movable member 61B The second guide roller 74B provided on the sixth movable member 71B rotates from the movable position toward the accommodation position while being in contact with the second guide roller 74B. As shown in FIG. 11A, when the sixth movable member 71B rotates to the accommodation position and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 44B of the base member 41, the sixth movable member 71B comes into contact with the buffer member 76B and becomes sixth movable. The rotation of the member 71B is restricted, and the fourth movable member 51B and the fifth movable member 61B rotate toward the respective accommodation positions. Further, as shown in FIG. 10 (c), when the fifth movable member 61B rotates to the accommodation position and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 44B, the second guide roller 74B is moved to the proximal end portion of the second guide hole 65B. the fifth and the rotation of the movable member 61B is restricted by contact with the 65B _2, the fourth movable member 51B rotates toward the accommodation of a corresponding position. When the fourth movable member 51B rotates to the accommodation position and is accommodated in the accommodation portion 44B (see FIG. 10A), the first guide roller 64B is the base end portion 55B ₂ of the first guide hole 55B. The fourth movable member 51B is restricted from rotating, and the fourth to sixth movable members 51B, 61B, 71B are accommodated in the corresponding accommodating positions respectively in the front-rear direction.

  Here, each of the drive motors 46, 46 is driven at a low first speed at the start of operation toward the storage position, and after a certain period of time (for example, 4 milliseconds have elapsed), the drive motors 46, 46 are driven. When the position detection sensors 59A and 59B detect the position detection pieces 56A and 56B (that is, the original positions), the rotation speed of each drive motor 46 is reduced to the first speed. The When each movable member 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B moves to the accommodation position, a pulse signal is output to the drive motor 46 over a predetermined time (for example, 1000 milliseconds), and the drive motor After driving 46 and 46, drive control is performed so that energization to the drive motor 46 is stopped. That is, the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B are accommodated in the state where the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B of the first and second fan movable bodies 47, 48 are accommodated in the accommodation positions. , 61B, 71B are pressed against the members that restrict the respective rotations (that is, the first guide rollers 64A, 64B, the second guide rollers 74A, 74B, the buffer members 76A, 76B), and the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A are pressed. , 51B, 61B, 71B can be reliably moved to the storage position. The drive motors 46 and 46 are excited while the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, and 71B are stopped and held. It will not lead to damage.

  A case will be described in which a predetermined swing effect condition is established at the time of winning a pachinko ball in the winning opening 22a of the start winning device 22. When the swing effect condition is satisfied, a pulse signal is output from the drive control device to the drive motors 46 and 46 under the control condition related to the swing effect, and each drive motor 46 is operated. At the time of this swing effect, the drive control device receives the contact surfaces 57A and 57B of the first movable member 51A of the first fan movable body 47 and the fourth movable member 51B of the second fan movable body 48. Until contact is made, the drive motor 46 is controlled under the same control conditions as described above. When the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B of the first and second fan movable bodies 47 and 48 come into contact with each other and are magnetized by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 58A and 58B, the first fan movable body 47 corresponds to the first fan movable body 47. The speed and timing at which the pulse signal is sent to the driving motor 46 is set to be different from the speed and timing at which the pulse signal is sent to the driving motor 46 corresponding to the second fan movable body 48.

  Specifically, in the embodiment, after the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B come into contact, the input speed of the pulse signal to the drive motor 46 of the second fan movable body 48 is the first fan. It is set to be twice the input speed of the pulse signal to the drive motor 46 of the movable body 47, and the input timing of the pulse signal to each drive motor 46 is set to be shifted. That is, in a state where the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B are in contact with each other, the first movable member 51A is operated to be pressed against the fourth movable member 51B, and the fourth movable member 51B is moved to the first movable member. The member 51A is operated to press, and in this state, the timing at which the first movable member 51A presses the fourth movable member 51B is different from the timing at which the fourth movable member 51B presses the first movable member 51A. The balance of the pressing force acting between the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B is configured to be unbalanced. Accordingly, the force by which the first movable member 51A presses the fourth movable member 51B is increased, and the fourth movable member 51B is slightly pushed back toward the accommodation position, and the fourth movable member 51B is moved to the first movable member 51A. The first and second fan movable bodies 47 and 48 are vibrated in the left-right direction by repeating the operation in which the first pressing member 51 </ b> A is slightly pushed back toward the storage position side. Can be done. At this time, the first movable member 51A and the fourth movable member 51B are always pressed against each other in addition to the force of magnetic attachment by the magnetic force of the permanent magnets 58A and 58B (the contact surfaces 57A and 57B are in close contact with each other). Therefore, it is possible to prevent the contact surfaces 57A and 57B from separating from each other and create an unnatural gap, and the design of the movable effect device 40 is not impaired.

As described above, in the movable effect device 40 according to the embodiment, the first movable member 51A of the first fan movable body 47 and the fourth movable member 48 of the second fan movable body 48 are operated by the operation of the drive motors 46, 46. When the member 51B rotates and moves from the storage position to the movable position and the respective contact surfaces 57A and 57B come into contact with each other, the permanent magnets 58A and 58B provided on the both movable members 51A and 51B are magnetically attached. The contact surfaces 57A and 57B are held in contact. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the two movable members 51A and 51B from being separated by the repulsive force generated when the first movable member 51A and the fourth movable member 51B are rotated by the operation of the drive motors 46 and 46. Accordingly, when the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B of the first and second fan movable bodies 47, 48 are rotated from the housing position to the movable position, the first and fourth movable members 51A are provided. , 51B can be prevented from generating an unnatural gap, the design of the movable effect device 40 can be improved, and the effect of the movable effect device 40 can be enhanced.

  In the embodiment, the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B (contact surfaces 57A and 57B) are operated to be pressed against each other in a state where the contact surfaces 57A and 57B are in contact. Further, it is possible to more reliably prevent an unnatural gap between the movable members 51 </ b> A and 51 </ b> B, thereby achieving an improvement in design of the movable effect device 40. Further, when the first and second fan movable bodies 47 and 48 are operated, the movable members 51A and 51B are used to prevent a gap from being generated between the first movable member 51A and the fourth movable member 51B. Therefore, the movable members 51A and 51B can be smoothly rotated unnaturally, and the impact given to the player by the operation of the first and second fan movable bodies 47 and 48 can be reduced. It is possible to increase the range of game production. In the embodiment, the first movable member 51A and the fourth movable member 51B are decelerated to the first speed before coming into contact with each other, thereby preventing damage when both the movable members 51A and 51B are brought into contact with each other. . Therefore, the first speed may be set to a speed that can prevent damage when both the movable members 51A and 51B are in contact with each other, and when the damage at the time of contact need not be considered. Need not be decelerated before the first and fourth movable members 51A, 51B abut.

  The first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B are held by magnetizing the permanent magnets 58A and 58B provided on the movable members 51A and 51B. For this reason, when the contact surfaces 57A and 57B of the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B contact each other, the front surfaces of the decorative plate portions 52A and 52B of the movable members 51A and 51B are displaced forward and backward. Even so, it is possible to reliably hold the decorative plate portions 52A and 52B in a predetermined position where the front surfaces of the decorative plate portions 52A and 52B are aligned by trying to magnetically adhere in a stable positional relationship by the attractive force and repulsive force acting between the permanent magnets 58A and 58B. That is, it is possible to prevent an unnatural step between the flat decorative plate portions 52A and 52B, and to improve the design of the movable effect device 40. Further, the decorative plate portions of the second movable member 61A driven by the first movable member 51A are magnetically attached in such a manner that the front surfaces of the decorative plate portions 52A and 52B of the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B are aligned. 62A and the front surface of the decorative plate portion 62B of the fifth movable member 61B driven by the fourth movable member 51B, and the decorative plate portion 72A and the fourth movable member 51B of the third movable member 71A similarly driven by the first movable member 51A.

Since the two guide holes 65A and 65B are connected to each other, the timings at which the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, and 71B move to the storage positions are different. For this reason, in order to quickly move the entire first and second fan movable bodies 47 and 48 to the accommodation position, it is necessary to increase the rotational speed of the first and fourth movable members 51A and 51B. At this time, the shock-absorbing members 76A and 76B come into contact with the third and sixth movable members 71A and 71B, so that the impact when the movable members 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B and 71B are moved to the storage positions is received. The buffer members 76A and 76B can be effectively absorbed and relaxed, and there is no problem such as damage. Further, the shock when each movable member 51A, 61A, 71A, 51B, 61B, 71B is moved to the accommodation position is provided only by providing the buffer members 76A, 76B corresponding to the third and sixth movable members 71A, 71B. Therefore, there is an advantage that the manufacturing cost can be reduced and the manufacturing process can be simplified.
