(Configuration of front side of pachinko machine)
1 is a front view of the pachinko machine 10, FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the pachinko machine 10, and FIG. 3 is a perspective view of a front frame of the pachinko machine 10.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pachinko machine 10 includes an outer frame 11 that forms an outer shell of the pachinko machine 10, and an inner frame 12 that is supported on one side of the outer frame 11 so as to be opened and closed. I have.

  Below, the structure of the outer frame 11 and the inner frame 12 is demonstrated separately.

  The outer frame 11 is formed in a rectangular shape as a whole by a wooden plate material, and each plate material is assembled by a detachable fastener such as a small screw. The outer frame 11 may be made of a light metal such as resin or aluminum. This is because such a configuration can reduce the weight of the pachinko machine.

  On the other hand, the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is set so as to extend vertically on the opposite side (left side of the pachinko machine 10 in FIG. 1) from the position where the handle (game ball launching handle 18 described later) is installed as viewed from the front of the pachinko machine 10. The inner frame 12 can be sufficiently opened to the front side with the opening / closing axis as the axis. If the opening / closing axis of the inner frame 12 is in the vertical direction on the handle installation location side (the right side of the pachinko machine 10 in FIG. 1), the game ball launching handle is opened when the inner frame 12 is opened. This is because the 18 heads and the like interfere with adjacent pachinko machines and card units (ball lending units), and the inner frame 12 cannot be fully opened. The inner frame 12 is made of a synthetic resin, specifically, ABS (acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) resin. By doing so, the advantages of high viscosity and high impact resistance and low cost production are exhibited.

  The inner frame 12 is roughly divided into a lower pan unit 13 attached to the lowermost portion thereof, and a vertical opening / closing axis on the left side of the inner frame 12 in the range above the lower pan unit 13 as an axis. The front frame set 14 is attached so as to be openable and closable, a resin base (not shown), and a game board 30 (described later) attached to the rear side of the resin base. Each of these configurations will be described in detail below.

The game ball launching handle 18 is disposed so as to protrude to the front side on the right side of the lower plate 15. In accordance with the operation of the game ball launching handle 18 by the player, the game ball is driven toward a game board 30 described later by a game ball launching device having a launch solenoid. The sound output port 24 is an output port for outputting sound from a speaker provided in the lower plate unit 13 or on the back surface. The ashtray 22 is provided on the left side of the lower plate 15. The right side of the ashtray 22 is supported by the lower plate 15 so as to rotate about the axis in the left-right direction (horizontal direction) as an axis (for example, forwardly toward the front side).

  Note that most of the lower dish unit 13 is molded of ABS resin in the same manner as the inner frame 12. By doing so, it is highly viscous and resistant to impact, and can be manufactured at low cost. In particular, the surface layer forming the lower plate 15 and the front panel portion behind the lower plate are formed of flame-retardant ABS resin. For this reason, this part is hard to burn.

  On the other hand, an upper plate 19 as a receiving tray for game balls is provided integrally with the front frame set 14 at a lower portion of the front frame set 14 (above the lower plate 15 described above). The upper tray 19 is a ball receiving tray for temporarily storing the game balls and guiding them to the game ball launching device 38 while aligning them in a line. In the conventional pachinko machine, a front decorative frame that can be opened and closed with respect to the inner frame is provided below the front frame set, and an upper plate is provided on the front decorative frame. However, in this embodiment, the front decorative frame is omitted. The upper plate 19 is provided directly on the front frame set 14. Similar to the lower plate 15, the upper plate 19 has a structure in which the surface layer is formed of flame-retardant ABS resin. In addition, an effect button 79 for the player to perform an operation such as changing the background of the decorative symbol display device 42 is provided at the lower left of the upper plate 19.

  In addition, the front frame set 14 is provided with light emitting means such as various lamps around it (for example, a corner portion). These light emitting means play a role of enhancing the effect of the game during the game by changing and controlling the light emission mode such as lighting and blinking according to the change of the game state in the big hit game state or the like. For example, at the periphery of the window portion 101, an annular illumination portion 102 containing a light emitting means such as an LED is provided symmetrically, and lighting or blinking in the big hit gaming state, it is in a big hit gaming state It is the structure which alert | reports.

  The MPU 521 receives a symbol display command (stop symbol command, variation pattern command, confirmation command, etc.) transmitted from the sub-control device 262 via the input port 527, analyzes the received command, or based on the received command. A predetermined calculation process is performed to control the image controller 526 (specifically, generation of an internal command for the image controller 526). The program ROM 522 is a memory for storing various control programs executed by the MPU 521 and fixed values, and also stores and holds JPEG format image data for background images. The RAM 523 is a memory for temporarily storing work data, flags, and the like that are used when the MPU 521 executes various programs.

  The image controller 526 is configured by a VDP (Video Display Processor). The VDP is a kind of drawing circuit that directly operates an LCD driver (liquid crystal driving circuit) incorporated in the decorative symbol display device 42. Since it is an IC chip, it is also called a “drawing chip” and its entity is a drawing. It can be said to be a microcomputer chip with built-in processing software. The image controller 526 adjusts the timing of each of the MPU 521, the video RAM 524, etc. to intervene in the reading and writing of data, and reads the display data stored in the video RAM 524 from the character ROM 525 at a predetermined timing, and sets the output port 529. And output to the decorative symbol display device 42.

  The video RAM 524 is a memory for storing display data displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42, and the display content of the decorative symbol display device 42 is changed by rewriting the content of the video RAM 524. The character ROM 525 serves as an image data library for storing character data such as symbols displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42. The character ROM 525 holds bitmap image data of various display patterns, a color palette table to be referred to when determining the expression color of each dot of the bitmap image, and the like. In particular, a symbol code (symbol number) is assigned to each symbol image data in the bitmap format, and at the command level, each symbol image can be managed only by the symbol code. Note that a plurality of character ROMs 525 may be provided, and image data and the like may be stored in each character ROM 525 in a shared manner. Further, it is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the JPEG format image data for the background image stored in the program ROM 522 is stored in the character ROM 525.

  The power supply device 313 includes a power supply unit 541 for supplying power to each unit of the pachinko machine 10. The power supply unit 541 supplies necessary operating voltages to the main control device 261, the payout control device 311 and the like through the power supply path. As its outline, the power supply unit 541 takes in a voltage of 24 volts AC supplied from the outside, drives a switch, a motor, etc., has a voltage of 12 volts, a voltage of 5 volts for logic, and a RAM backup. A backup voltage or the like is generated, and the 12 volt voltage, the 5 volt voltage, and the backup voltage are supplied to the power supply monitoring device 540, the sub control device 262, the payout control device 311, the display control device 45, and the like. The main control device 261 is supplied with operating voltages (voltages of 12 volts and 5 volts) via the power supply monitoring device 540. In addition, an operating voltage (12 volts and 5 volts) is supplied to the launch controller 312 via the main controller 261.

The power monitoring device 540 includes a power failure monitoring circuit 542 that monitors power interruption due to a power failure or the like, and a reset circuit 544 that outputs a reset signal.
The power failure monitoring circuit 542 is a circuit for outputting a power failure signal SG1 to each NMI terminal of the MPU 501 of the main control device 261 and the MPU 511 of the payout control device 311 when the power is cut off due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. The power failure monitoring circuit 542 monitors the DC stable voltage of 24 volts, which is the maximum voltage output from the power supply unit 541, and determines that a power failure (power shutdown) occurs when this voltage is less than 22 volts. The power failure signal SG1 is output to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311. By the output of the power failure signal SG1, the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311 recognize the occurrence of the power failure and execute the NMI interrupt process. Note that the power supply unit 541 outputs a voltage of 5 volts, which is a drive voltage of the control system, for a time sufficient to execute the NMI interrupt processing even after the DC stable voltage of 24 volts becomes less than 22 volts. Is maintained at a normal value. Therefore, the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311 can normally execute and complete the NMI interrupt process.

  The RAM erase switch circuit 543 is a circuit that outputs a RAM erase signal SG2 for clearing backup data to the main controller 261 and the payout controller 311 when the RAM erase switch is pressed. Note that transmission of a signal to the payout control device 311 is performed via the main control device 261. When the RAM erase signal SG2 is input when the pachinko machine 10 is turned on, the main control device 261 and the payout control device 311 clear the respective backup data.

  The reset circuit 544 is a circuit that outputs a reset signal in order to initialize the main control device 261, the payout control device 311, the sub control device 262, and the display control device 45. The reset signal from the reset circuit 544 is directly given to the main control device 261, but the payout control device 311, the sub control device 262, and the display control device 45 are connected via the power supply device 313. It has come to be given.

  Here, the display contents of the special symbol display device, the normal symbol display device, and the decorative symbol display device 42 will be described. In the pachinko machine 10 of the present embodiment, the special symbol displayed on the special symbol display device as a symbol for showing the occurrence of the jackpot to the player, and the decorative symbol displayed on the decorative symbol display device 42 are two. Types are provided. The decorative symbol is a symbol that changes in synchronization with the special symbol. The decorative symbol starts changing at the same time (or almost at the same time) as the special symbol starts to change, and at the same time (or almost at the same time) as the special symbol changes. To stop the fluctuation. This decorative design is provided in order to provide a player with a variety of display effects so that the player is not bored.

  First, the display contents of the special symbol display device will be described. The special symbol variation display is expressed by a change in the lighting pattern of the nine LED segments. The variation display of the special symbol is started based on winning of the game ball to the start winning device 33, and the variation display of the special symbol is simultaneously stopped after a certain time. After the stop, a lighting pattern indicating a big hit or a lighting pattern indicating a loss is displayed. In the case of a loss, a variation display is performed again based on winning to the start winning device 33. The number of times that the game ball has won the start winning device 33 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is lit and displayed on the hold lamp 800a of the special symbol hold display device 800.

  Next, display contents of the decorative symbol display device 42 will be described. On the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 42, for example, three decorative symbol columns Z1 to Z3 are displayed in three display areas divided into an upper stage, a middle stage, and a lower stage. These decorative symbol rows Z1 to Z3 are scroll-displayed from right to left. The decorative symbol is composed of, for example, a main symbol composed of numbers “1” to “9” and a sub symbol smaller than the main symbol, and a symbol row of the decorative symbol is formed by each of the main symbol and the sub symbol. In each symbol row formed with decorative symbols, the main symbols are arranged in ascending or descending order of numbers, and sub-designs are arranged between the main symbols. When a winning to the start winning device 33, that is, a start winning occurs, the decorative symbol is displayed in a variable manner, and the variable display is stopped after a lapse of a certain time according to the changing pattern. 3 nine decorative symbols are displayed as a display result. In the variable display won in the big win lottery, the display control device 45 controls the three main symbols so that they stop on a vertical or diagonal straight line among the nine decorative symbols. The jackpot is indicated. On the other hand, in the variable display out of the big hit lottery, the display control device 45 controls the game so that three identical main symbols do not stop vertically or diagonally among the nine decorative symbols. The occurrence of detachment is shown to the person.

  Next, the display contents of the normal symbol display device will be described. The normal symbol variation display is expressed by alternately lighting the first lamp (appearance is ◯ shape) and the second lamp (appearance is X shape). The normal symbol variation display is started on the condition that the game ball passes through the second start winning device 34, and the regular symbol variation display stops after a certain period of time. And when it stops by a 1st lamp | ramp, it is comprised so that the 1st start prize-winning apparatus 33 may be in an operation state only for predetermined time (open | released). The number of times that the game ball has passed through the second start winning device 34 is held up to a maximum of 4 times, and the number of times that the game ball is held is displayed on the hold lamp 801a of the normal symbol hold display device 801.

  Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 configured as described above will be described. In the present embodiment, the MPU 501 in the main control device 261 uses various counter information during the game to set up a jackpot lottery or a symbol display setting of a special symbol display device. Specifically, a counter group related to the special symbol and a counter group related to the normal symbol are provided. First, a counter group related to special symbols will be described. As a group of counters related to the special symbol, the jackpot random number counter C1 used for the jackpot lottery, the jackpot symbol counter C2 used for the selection of the jackpot symbol of the special symbol display device, and the special symbol display device when the special symbol display device is out and fluctuates. Stop pattern selection counter C3 used for selection of stop patterns (corresponding to reach lottery for reaching or completely disabling in the variation of decorative symbols), and initial values used for setting initial values of the jackpot random number counter C1 A random number counter CINI1 and variation type counters CS1 to CS3 for determining a type used for variation pattern selection are provided.

  Here, the variation pattern means each pattern (form) in a case where features having common features of variation display are divided.

  Each of the counters C1 to C3, CINI1, CS1 to CS3 is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. Each counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 503. The RAM 503 is provided with a holding ball storage area 700 including one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to fourth areas). In each of these areas, a game to the start winning device 33 is performed. The values of the jackpot random number counter C1, the jackpot symbol counter C2, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 are stored in accordance with the winning timing of the ball.

Next, the specific contents of each counter will be described in detail.
The jackpot random number counter C1 is configured such that, for example, 1 is sequentially added within a range of 0 to 738, and after reaching the maximum value (that is, 738), it returns to 0. In particular, when the jackpot random number counter C1 makes one round, the value of the random number initial value counter CINI1 at that time is read as the initial value of the jackpot random number counter C1. Note that the random number initial value counter CINI1 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the big hit random number counter C1 (value = 0 to 738), and is updated once every timer interruption and within the remaining time of normal processing. Will be updated repeatedly. The jackpot random number counter C1 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and stored in the reserved ball storage area 700 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the start winning device 33. The number of random number values that are jackpots is set at low probability and high probability, and the number of random numbers that are jackpots at low probability is 2, and the value is “373, 727” There are 14 random numbers that are big hits at high probability, and the values are “59, 109, 163, 211, 263, 317, 367, 421, 479, 523, 577, 631, 683, 733”. is there. High probability means a state in which a special symbol combination is a jackpot due to the combination of a specific symbol that is a predetermined probability variation symbol and the subsequent jackpot probability has increased as added value, so-called probability change. Time (when the probability is low) refers to a case where the probability variation state is not such.

  The jackpot symbol counter C2 determines a symbol at the time of a jackpot when the special symbol display device stops changing the special symbol. For example, the jackpot symbol counter C2 is incremented by one within a range of 0 to 4, and the maximum value (that is, 4). After reaching this value, it returns to 0. For example, when the value of the jackpot symbol counter C2 is “0” or “1”, nine LED segments are stopped at a specific lighting pattern, and the combination of stop symbols in this case is a non-specific symbol (normally Of jackpot symbol).

  When the value of the jackpot symbol counter C2 is “2”, “3”, “4”, the nine LED segments stop in a specific lighting pattern different from the above, and the stop symbol of this case The combination means a specific symbol (probability variation symbol).

  The jackpot symbol counter C2 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and stored in the reserved ball storage area 700 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball wins the start winning device 33.

  The stop pattern selection counter C3 is, for example, incremented by 1 in the range of 0 to 238, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 238). In the present embodiment, the special symbol variation display is configured to be expressed by nine LED segments. Therefore, in the case of the special symbol, there is no concept of reach, and a stop pattern corresponding to reach is designated as a stop pattern selection counter C3. It is decided to decide. On the other hand, in the case of a decorative symbol, since three decorative symbols are stopped, there is a reach. Therefore, in the case of a decorative design, the reach lottery is determined by the stop pattern selection counter C3. That is, in the case of a decorative design, after the reach has occurred, the final stop symbol is shifted by one shift before and after the reach symbol, and the stop symbol is stopped before and after the reach symbol. It is decided to draw “reach other than front / rear off” to stop and “complete out” that does not cause reach. For example, the stop pattern selection counter C3 = 0 to 201 corresponds to complete detachment, the stop pattern selection counter C3 = 202 to 208 corresponds to anteroposterior detachment reach, and the stop pattern selection counter C3 = 209 to 238 lies other than detachment anteroposterior. Applicable.

  Here, “reach” refers to a combination of symbols that stop before the decorative symbol displayed on the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 42 starts changing display, and the combination of symbols that stop first is the same symbol (in a decorative symbol having a plurality of effective lines). A combination of jackpot symbols, suggesting to the player that the jackpot will be a big win depending on the display result of the symbols that are the same symbol on any active line) and satisfy the jackpot condition Is a display that makes a player expect the game, and is a type of entertainment production. An interesting effect is that a predetermined symbol represented by reach is displayed on the display screen of the decorative symbol display device 42 in the middle of variable display, a specific sound is output from a speaker, or a vibration motor is used. This is an effect that causes the player to expect that the display result after the change display will be a big hit with the change display, such as vibrating the game ball launch handle 18.

  The stop pattern selection counter C3 is periodically updated (once every timer interruption in this embodiment) and stored in the reserved ball storage area 700 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball is won by the start winning device 33.

The variation type counter CS1 is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 198, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 198). The variation type counter CS2 is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 240, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 240). For example, the variation type counter CS3 is incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 162, for example, and reaches a maximum value (that is, 162) and then returns to 0.
The variation type counter CS1 determines a rough symbol variation mode such as a reach type such as normal reach, super reach, premium reach, etc., and the variation type counter CS2 further refines a symbol such as normal reach A, normal reach B, etc. The variation mode is determined, and the variation type counter CS2 determines, for example, the addition / subtraction of the variation time in the case of a slip stop variation. Therefore, a variety of variation patterns can be easily realized by combining these variation type counters CS1 to CS3. Further, based on the values of the counters CS1 to CS3 and the jackpot random number counter C1, it is determined whether or not to move the uki 610, which will be described later, and how to move the uki 610 (for example, in the case of super reach, the uki 610 is moved to 1 cm). Such as a mode in which the uki 610 is moved so as to sink by 4 to 5 cm during premium reach.

  The counters CS <b> 1 to CS <b> 3 are updated once every time a normal process to be described later is executed once, and are repeatedly updated even within the remaining time in the normal process. Then, the buffer values of the counters CS1 to CS3 are acquired when determining the variation pattern at the start of variation of the special symbol by the special symbol display device and the decorative symbol display device 42.

  Next, a counter group related to normal symbols will be described. The counter group related to the normal symbol includes a winning random number counter C4 used for winning lottery and an initial value random number counter CINI2 used for setting an initial value of the winning random number counter C4.

  The hit random number counter C4 is a loop counter that adds 1 to the previous value every time it is updated, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value. The counter is updated at short time intervals, and the updated value is appropriately stored in a counter buffer set in a predetermined area of the RAM 503. The RAM 503 is provided with a holding ball storage area 701 including one execution area and four holding areas (holding first to fourth areas). In each of these areas, the second start winning device 34 is provided. The value of the hit random number counter C4 is stored in accordance with the passing of the game ball.

  Next, the specific contents of the winning random number counter C4 and the initial value random number CINI2 will be described in detail. The winning random number counter C4 is, for example, incremented by 1 within a range of 0 to 250, and returns to 0 after reaching the maximum value (that is, 250). When the winning random number counter C4 makes one round, the value of the winning initial value random number counter CINI2 at that time is read as the initial value of the winning random number counter C4. The initial value random number counter CINI2 is configured as a loop counter that is updated in the same range as the winning random number counter C4 (value = 0 to 250), and is updated once per timer interrupt and within the remaining time of normal processing. Will be updated repeatedly. The winning random number counter C4 is updated periodically (once every timer interruption in this embodiment), and stored in the reserved ball storage area 701 of the RAM 503 at the timing when the game ball passes through the second start winning device 34. The number of random number values hit by the hit random number counter C4 is 149, and the value is “5 to 153”.

  In addition, the magnitude | size and range of each counter are only examples, and can be changed arbitrarily. However, if importance is attached to irregularity, the big hit random number counter C1, the stop pattern selection counter C3, the hit random number counter C4, and the variation type counters CS1 to CS3 are all different prime numbers and are not synchronized in any case. It is desirable to leave.

The details of each control process executed by the MPU 501 in the main controller 261 will not be described here.
However, in summary, as described above, by winning the start winning device 33, the main control device 261 performs a lottery with a predetermined probability, and when winning, it shifts to a special gaming state. Thus, the variable winning device 32 enters a winning ball receiving state.

  As shown in FIG. 11, a movable magnetic force portion 608 is disposed inside the position of both connecting portions 607J in the second rotating member 607 so as to be close to the inner peripheral surface of the inner peripheral portion 607C. . The second rotating member 607 is divided into two parts at the front and rear, and is configured by fitting each divided body and fixing with a screw (not shown). At this time, a magnet is provided between the two divided bodies. The movable magnetic force portion 608 is configured by interposing and fixing.

  One end of the thread 609 is fixed to the groove portion 607G of the second rotating member 607, and the other end of the thread 609 is fixed to the lower end of the floating body 610 as a floating body as shown in FIG. The uki 610 is constructed in substantially the same manner as a commercially available one, and the surface is coated, but this paint is a material that has a specific gravity smaller than that of the water 602C and floats on the water surface. Therefore, when it peels from the uki 610, it floats on the liquid surface of the upper layer liquid 602C. In a state in which no driving force is applied to the second rotating member 607, as shown in FIG. 10, from the position slightly above the one side end (left side end in front view) of the second rotating member 607, Due to the buoyancy, the thread 609 fully extends upward, and the thread 609 comes to rest in a state in which the surface 602M crosses the boundary surface 602M between the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B.

  As described above, at the height position where the lower end of the uki 610 is in a stationary state, the one side (left side in front view) on which the uki 610 is located is opposite to the side (front view) from the center in the horizontal direction in the liquid tank 601. A crosspiece 611 is arranged as an operation restricting portion at a position slightly closer to the right side. The crosspiece 611 is a round bar-like member erected between the back wall 601R and the front wall 601F of the liquid tank 601, and the thread 609 passes over the position of the crosspiece 611 on one side (right side in front view). The thread 609 is regulated so as not to shift too much, and has a function of adjusting the movement so that the thread 609 moves smoothly in the vertical direction.

  The liquid tank 601 is divided into two parts at the front and rear, and each divided body is joined. After the members such as the second rotating member 607 and Uki 610 are arranged inside, the two divided bodies are arranged. The upper layer liquid 602 </ b> C and the lower layer liquid 602 </ b> B are injected from the liquid injection port, and the liquid injection port is closed by the stopper 603. Further, as shown in FIG. 10, an upper decorative plate 612 </ b> T and a lower decorative plate 612 </ b> B are respectively attached from the front to the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the liquid tank 601, thereby forming an exciting operation unit 600. The upper decorative plate 612T is a horizontally long plate having a size that completely covers the surface (liquid level) of the upper layer liquid 602C, the stopper 603, and the like at the upper end of the liquid tank 601, and is made of a resin having a light shielding property (opacity). For example, a predetermined decoration (not shown) imitating a cloud or the like is applied to the front surface. The lower decorative plate 612B is a horizontally long plate having a dimension that completely covers the bottom surface of the liquid tank 601 to the upper end of the second rotating member 607, and is made of a resin having a light shielding property (opacity). A predetermined decoration (not shown) imitating aquatic plants, the ground, the lake bottom, etc. is applied. The upper decorative plate 612T and the lower decorative plate 612B provide decorativeness to the upper end portion and the lower end portion of the liquid tank 601, and the internal conditions at the upper end portion and the lower end portion are concealed from the front.

  FIG. 13 and FIG. 14 are schematic diagrams showing the operation of the exciting operation unit 600. Hereinafter, the operation of the exciting operation unit 600 will be sequentially described with reference to FIG.

(1) As shown in FIG. 13A, in a state where the first rotating member 605 is inserted into the shaft insertion portion 604 and stopped, the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 are attracted (magnetic force). By sucking each other by F1, the second rotating member 607 is stopped and held when the second rotating member 607 is rotated so that they are located within a certain range including the shortest distance. At this time, when the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 are in a position close to each other at the shortest distance, the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 are located on a straight line connecting them at the shortest distance. Only the single-direction attraction force (magnetic force) F1 is applied, and the second rotating member 607 is held in this position.
In the drawing, for the sake of clarity, the attractive force (magnetic force) F <b> 1 is shown as an arrow on a straight line connecting the center of the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the center of the movable magnetic force portion 608.

(2) As shown in FIG. 13B, when the first turning member 605 is turned in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front as shown by the arrow A2 in the drawing, the driving magnetic force portion 606 is moved accordingly. It moves in the counterclockwise direction along the circumferential direction of the first rotating member 605. At this time, the driving magnetic force portion 606 moves so as to be deviated counterclockwise with respect to the movable magnetic force portion 608, so that the attractive force (magnetic force) F1 acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 is Since the first rotating member 605 is inclined with respect to the radial direction, the attractive force (magnetic force) F1 includes a radial component F2 and a rotational direction (circumferential) component F3, and the latter rotational direction component. F3 works in the direction of pulling the movable magnetic force portion 608 counterclockwise. On the other hand, the shaft insertion portion 604 is interposed between the first rotation member 605 and the second rotation member 607. A frictional force F4 is generated in proportion to a load generated when the second rotating member 607 is pressed onto the shaft insertion portion 604 by the radial component F2 of the attractive force (magnetic force) F1, and this frictional force F4 is generated by the movable magnetic portion. Retains 608 counterclockwise movement It acts in a direction to prevent such. Here, as shown in the figure, while the operation amount is still small and the rotation is only a slight angle, the rotation direction component F3 of the attractive force (magnetic force) F1 does not reach the maximum frictional force F4. The rotating member 607 remains in its original position without rotating against the rotating direction component F3.

(3) As indicated by an arrow A3 in FIG. 14A, when the first rotating member 605 and the driving magnetic force portion 606 are further moved in the counterclockwise direction, an attractive force (magnetic force) is proportional to this. The rotation direction component F3 of F1 also gradually increases. When the rotation direction component F3 reaches a level exceeding the maximum frictional force F4, as shown by an arrow A4 in FIG. 14B, the second rotation member 607 is rotated so as to be pulled counterclockwise by the rotation direction component F3, and at the same time, the movable magnetic part 608 moves so as to catch up with the drive magnetic part 606, and again, the drive magnetic part 606 and the movable magnetic force The second rotating member 607 stops when the second rotating member 607 is rotated so that the portion 608 is attracted to each other by the attractive force (magnetic force) F1 and comes to a position within a certain range including the shortest distance. Held.

(4) Thereafter, when the first rotating member 605 further rotates counterclockwise, the second rotating member 607 remains in the same position for a certain period in the same manner as described above. When the time comes, the intermittent rotation operation of moving so as to catch up with the first rotation member 605 is repeated, and the first rotation member 605 is rotated by the rotation.

  FIG. 15 is a schematic graph showing the state of the rotation operation of the second rotation member 607 relative to the rotation operation of the first rotation member 605 at this time. In the figure, the horizontal axis represents the rotation amount of the first rotation member, and the vertical axis represents the rotation amount of the second rotation member. Here, if, for example, the second rotating member is integrally linked to the first rotating member and is always configured to rotate together with the first rotating member, C1 in the figure. As shown in FIG. 4, the graph is a directly proportional graph having a certain slope. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, as shown by E1 in the figure, the cycle in which the amount of rotation of the second rotation member 607 is maintained at the same level for a certain period of time is rapidly increased, As a whole, the graph rises intermittently stepwise.

  Therefore, the first rotating member 605 always rotates at a constant speed, and the second rotating member 607 is driven to be driven by this rotation, and rotates in the same direction. The two rotation member 607 performs an irregular rotation operation of intermittently rotating while catching up with a delay with respect to the rotation of the first rotation member 605.

At this time, since the second rotating member 607 is slidably in contact with the shaft insertion portion 604 that is a pivotal shaft at a position near the outer periphery, a relatively large resistance force is formed between the second rotation member 607 and the shaft insertion portion 604. Due to this resistance force, the second rotating member 607 does not move smoothly with respect to the rotation of the first rotating member 605, but shifts or delays so as to be irregularly interlocked. That is, the radius R1 of the shaft insertion portion 604 shown in FIG. 13A is about 11 mm, and the radius R2 of the second rotating member 607 is about 1 / 1.7 of about 18.5 mm. The rotation member 607 is a distance R1 that is larger than a half (about 3/5) of the radius R2 of the second rotation member 607 = about 18.5 mm from the rotation center P1 of the second rotation member 607. = Since it is slidably in contact with the shaft insertion portion 604 at a position near the outer periphery with a distance of about 11 mm, the resistance force generated between the shaft insertion portion 604 is relatively large. If the second rotating member 607 is supported by the pivot shaft at a position closer to the inner periphery such as the inner peripheral portion N1 shown in FIG. The frictional force F5 that acts when the two-rotating member 607 slides with respect to the pivot shaft does not become a large resistance force due to the principle of the lever. For example, when the second rotating member 607 is to be smoothly rotated. In this embodiment, as described above, the second rotating member 607 is supported by the shaft insertion portion 604 that is a pivotal shaft at a position near the outer periphery, and is slidably in contact with this. Therefore, the frictional force F4 acting between them is a relatively large resistance. In other words, even if the same level of frictional forces F4 and F5 are applied, the frictional force F4 that works at the position closer to the outer periphery is the first because of the lever principle. It acts as a greater resistance against the two-rotating member 607. This resistance force causes a shift or delay of the second rotating member 607, so that the operation of the movable part is performed even though the first rotating member 605 rotates regularly at a constant speed. It is an anomaly that is slightly different from the above.
That is, the shaft insertion portion 604 is a resistance member that is slidably in contact with the second rotating member 607 at a position near the outer periphery, and constitutes an irregular operation means.

In addition, when the first rotating member 605 is retracted by the slide mechanism so as to be pulled out from the shaft insertion portion 604, the distance between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 is gradually separated. Since the attractive force (magnetic force) F1 acting during the period of time is also gradually weakened, the influence of the frictional force F4 acting in the direction of blocking the movement of the movable magnetic force portion 608 in the counterclockwise direction gradually increases, and the second The delay (displacement) of the rotation member 607 with respect to the first rotation member 605 also gradually increases. That is, the length of the horizontal portion in the graph E1 shown in FIG. 15 gradually increases. As a result, the interval of the rotating operation intermittently generated in the second rotating member 607 is increased, the irregularity is emphasized, and it becomes easier to understand visually. That is, this slide mechanism serves as magnetic force adjusting means for adjusting the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 by adjusting the relative position of the driving magnetic force portion 606 with respect to the movable magnetic force portion 608.
Furthermore, according to the slide mechanism, for example, the first rotation member 605 is suddenly inserted into or removed from the shaft insertion portion 604, that is, suddenly moved in and out, so that the power transmission cannot be performed. It is also possible to instantaneously switch to a possible state or vice versa, thereby further diversifying the operation.

  When the second rotating member 607 rotates as described above, the outer periphery of the second rotating member 607 is connected to the uki 610 via the thread 609, so that the thread 609 is second rotated. The material is wound around the member 607, whereby the snow 610 is pulled downward and sinks. At this time, since the second rotating member 607 rotates intermittently as described above, the operation of the uki 610 is not intermittently settled at a constant speed, but intermittently. It becomes an irregular thing that sinks while being pulled by.

  Further, at this time, before the second rotating member 607 is rotated, the uki 610 is in a state where it intersects the boundary surface 602M between the upper liquid 602C and the lower liquid 602B as described above. Until the whole is submerged in the lower layer liquid 602B, the volume immersed in the lower layer liquid 602B is gradually increased, and the buoyancy is gradually increased. Further, since the thread 609 is wound from a position slightly above the one end (the left end in the front view) of the second rotating member 607, the thread 609 approaches the one end (the left end in the front view). As the winding force increases slightly, it gradually increases. Thus, the upward force applied to the uki 610 by the buoyancy and the downward force applied to the uki 610 by the winding force of the second rotating member 607 are both slightly increased as the second rotating member 607 rotates. Since the buoyancy does not increase at a constant rate due to the change in the shape at the top of the uki 610, the relationship between the downward force applied to the uki 610 and the downward force also changes. The uki 610 generally sinks downward while receiving a force that varies somewhat.

  In addition, the uki 610 is held in the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B in a floating state by its own buoyancy so that the lower end portion is anchored by the thread 609. While swinging back and forth and right and left in the course of sinking, it also moves up and down each time the second rotating member 607 stops rotating. FIG. 16 schematically shows the movement of the uki 610 at this time. As shown in FIG. 6A, the second rotating member 607 is rotated counterclockwise by a small angle α, so that the thread 609 is pulled in the lower left direction when viewed from the front as indicated by an arrow A5 in the drawing. As a result, the ground 610 is pulled in the lower left direction while the lower end is swung to the left. As shown in FIG. 4B, when the rotation of the second rotation member 607 by the small angle α stops, the uki 610 further sinks in the lower left direction while sagging the thread 609 due to inertia. Around this time, the lower end of the uki 610 is swung back to the right as indicated by an arrow A6 in the figure. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 5C, the uki 610 returns upward due to buoyancy until the yarn 609 is fully extended while the lower end is swung left and right.

  In this way, each time the second rotating member 607 rotates intermittently by small angles, the uki 610 swings left and right and moves up and down to bounce (bounce). While operating, the second turning member 607 sinks downward.

  Thereafter, when the first rotating member 605 is rotated in the reverse direction, the uki 610 is lifted by buoyancy and returned to the original position. At this time, the first rotation member 605 can be rotated in the reverse direction at a low speed to slowly lift the uki 610 little by little, while the first rotation member 605 is rotated in the reverse direction at a high speed. 610 can also rise rapidly. Alternatively, when the first rotating member 605 is pulled out at a stroke by the slide mechanism, the downward pulling force can be released, and the ground 610 can be lifted with only the buoyancy applied.

  Therefore, with the above-described configuration and mechanism, the first rotating member 605 that is the driving unit is always rotating at a constant low speed, and this driving force is generated by the second rotating member 607 that is the movable unit and the yarn. 609 is intermittently and irregularly transmitted to the uki 610, whereby the uki 610 sinks while performing an irregular operation. At this time, the subsidence operation is intermittently performed in small steps (as described above). Since it is made to move up and down (in small increments), a complicated operation is displayed as if the fish is eating the bait and picking up and pulling on the uki 610. If the power transmission from the moving part to the moving part is interrupted instantaneously, it is possible to operate as if the thread 609 breaks and the ground 610 floats on the surface of the water. So that the effect can be obtained.

(Function)
As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the uki operation unit 600 is provided as a movable device for production at a position to the right of the decorative symbol display device 42 in the center of the game board 30, which is a position that can be visually recognized from the outside. In the configuration, the excitement operation unit 600 includes a drive unit configured by a first rotation member 605, a motor 91, a gear, and the like, a second rotation member 607, a thread 609, and an excavation unit 610, and the drive unit The movable part that intervenes between the movable part interlocked with the movement of the first rotary member 605 of the drive part and the second rotary member 607 of the movable part, and that is movable with respect to the action of the drive part. The shaft insertion portion 604 is provided as an irregular operation means for making the operation of the lens irregular, so that the movable portion is operated by being driven by the drive portion, but between the drive portion and the movable portion. Turn into By operating means is interposed, rather than the movable portion is directly linked to the operation of the drive unit, it is anomalously interlocked. In other words, power is not directly transmitted from the drive unit to the movable unit, but is irregularly transmitted through the irregular operation means. Therefore, the operation of the movable portion is more complicated than the operation of the drive portion. For example, even if the operation of the drive portion is a constant monotonous operation, that is, the constant rotation of the first rotation member 605, the operation of the movable portion is It becomes anomalous and more complex movements are also expressed.
At this time, the operation of the movable portion is irregularized by interposing the shaft insertion portion 604 as the irregular operation means between the first rotation member 605 of the drive portion and the second rotation member 607 of the movable portion. Therefore, for example, it is not necessary to control the operation of the movable part by a complicated control program, and even if the control is complicated, for example, the operation of the movable part can be further complicated. .

In addition, the drive unit includes a first rotation member 605 that is rotatably provided, and a driving magnetic force unit 606 is provided at a predetermined position of the first rotation member 605, that is, a flat surface portion 605P formed on the circumferential surface. The movable portion has a second rotation member 607 provided rotatably, and a movable magnetic force portion 608 is provided inside a predetermined position of the second rotation member 607, that is, the position of the connecting portion 607J. The first rotating member and the second rotating member 607 are rotated to the extent that the second rotating member 607 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member 605 by the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608. Since the rotating member is arranged close to the rotating member, the irregular operation means is a shaft insertion portion 604 that is a resistance member that is slidably in contact with the second rotating member 607 at a position near the outer periphery. Since the magnetic force acts between 606 and the movable magnetic part 608, the first time The second rotation member 607 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the member 605, that is, the second rotation member 607 is driven and rotated by the rotation of the first rotation member 605. Since the two-rotating member 607 is slidably in contact with the shaft insertion portion 604 at a position near the outer periphery, a relatively large resistance force is generated between the shaft insertion portion 604 and the resistance force causes The second rotating member 607 is not smoothly interlocked with the rotation of the first rotating member 605, but is shifted or delayed so as to be interlocked irregularly. That is, for example, if the second rotating member is slidably in contact with the resistance member at a position closer to the inner periphery, the frictional force acting between the second rotating member and the resistance member does not become a large resistance force. However, in the present embodiment, since the second rotating member 607 is slidably in contact with the shaft insertion portion 604 that is a resistance member at a position near the outer periphery, the friction force acting between them is a relatively large resistance. This resistance force causes deviation or delay of the second rotating member 607. Thereby, although the 1st rotation member 605 rotates regularly at a fixed speed, the operation | movement of a movable part becomes an irregular thing somewhat shifted | deviated with respect to this.
Further, while the first rotating member 605 and the second rotating member 607 are rotated while interlocking as described above, the resistance generated by the frictional force F4 and the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 are between. Since the magnitude relationship with the magnetic force F1 acting on is not constant but always fluctuates, the displacement or delay amount of the second rotating member 607 also fluctuates accordingly, and thereby the operation of the movable part is irregularized. ing.
Further, at this time, as the combination of the materials of the shaft insertion portion 604 and the second rotating member 607 which are resistance members, it is not necessary to make a combination that can cause friction. The power transmission from the drive unit to the movable unit is irregularized.

  In addition, the drive unit includes a first rotation member 605 that is rotatably provided, and a driving magnetic force unit 606 is provided at a predetermined position of the first rotation member 605, that is, a flat surface portion 605P formed on the circumferential surface. The movable portion has a second rotation member 607 provided rotatably, and a movable magnetic force portion 608 is provided inside a predetermined position of the second rotation member 607, that is, the position of the connecting portion 607J. The first rotating member and the second rotating member 607 are rotated to the extent that the second rotating member 607 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member 605 by the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608. The anomalous operation means is arranged close to the rotating member, and the anomalous operation means moves to the second rotating member 607 at a position where the second rotating member 607 rotates with a delay with respect to the rotation of the first rotating member 605. Since it is a resistance member that is slidably contacted, that is, the shaft insertion portion 604, the shaft insertion By the rotation of the first rotation member 605 by the rotation of the second rotation member 607, the operation of the movable unit becomes anomalous that slightly deviates from the operation of the drive unit. ing.

  In addition, the drive unit includes a first rotation member 605 that is rotatably provided, and a driving magnetic force unit 606 is provided at a predetermined position of the first rotation member 605, that is, a flat surface portion 605P formed on the circumferential surface. The movable portion has a second rotation member 607 provided rotatably, and a movable magnetic force portion 608 is provided inside a predetermined position of the second rotation member 607, that is, the position of the connecting portion 607J. The first rotating member and the second rotating member 607 are rotated to the extent that the second rotating member 607 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member 605 by the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608. Since the rotating member is disposed in the vicinity and the anomalous operation means is a resistance member that is slidably in contact with the second rotating member 607 from the inner peripheral side, that is, the shaft insertion portion 604, the shaft insertion portion 604 is Resistive contact with the second rotating member 607 from the inner peripheral side is possible. Force effectively acts, thereby the operation of the movable portion is in the irregular that more or less deviated well to the operation of the drive unit.

In addition, since a slide mechanism is provided as a magnetic force adjusting means for adjusting the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608, the relative position is adjusted by this slide mechanism to adjust the magnetic force. The strength of the power transmitted from the moving member 605 to the second rotating member 607 can be adjusted, and therefore the degree of interlocking shift or delay of the second rotating member 607 can also be adjusted. .
In addition, power transmission from the first rotating member 605 to the second rotating member 607 is cut off or started so that the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion 606 and the movable magnetic force portion 608 is suddenly reduced or increased. It is also possible to diversify the operation, for example.

  In addition, the movable part has a movable magnetic part 608 that is an input part for inputting power from the drive part via the irregular operation means, that is, the shaft insertion part 604, a thread 609 that is a flexible connecting part, and a floating body. The uki 610 is connected to the uki 610 in this order, so that power from the drive unit is transmitted to the uki 610 via the thread 609 to operate the uki 610. At this time, the thread 609 is flexible. As a result, the movement of the snow 610 swings or causes excessive movement due to inertia, which makes the operation more irregular. That is, the irregular operation of the movable part is amplified.

In addition, the uki 610 is held in a state of floating in the liquid, that is, the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B, and is operated by being pulled in the direction in which it is sunk by the thread 609, so that the uki 610 is pulled in the direction to be sunk by the thread 609. When motive power is transmitted to the uki, buoyancy is always acting on the uki, so that the pulling motive force and the buoyancy act on the uki 610, and this motive power is not transmitted uniformly. Since the irregularities are irregularized by the irregular operation means or the like, the uki 610 moves up and down irregularly, which further complicates the operation.
In addition, after the uki 610 is sunk, the buoyancy can be used to return the uki 610 to its original position, thereby expressing the operation of the uki 610 floating in the liquid.
Furthermore, the uki 610 is kept floating in the upper layer liquid 602C or the lower layer liquid 602B, so that the upper layer liquid 602C or the lower layer liquid 602B acts as a buffer to protect the uki 610 from impacts. Damage is prevented.

  In addition, since the boundary surface 602M between the liquid, that is, the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B is visible to the player, the boundary surface 602M is swung in accordance with the operation of the floating body 610, which is a moving body. The movement of the uki 610 is emphasized by the occurrence of ripples on the boundary surface 602M. From these facts, the movement of the uki 610 can be visually understood more easily. ing.

  In addition, since the entire uki 610 is held in the state of being immersed in the upper layer liquid 602C or the lower layer liquid 602B, the entire uki 610 is protected from impact so that damage to the uki 610 can be more reliably prevented. It has become.

  Further, the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B, which are two different types of liquids, are arranged so as to overlap each other in the vertical direction, and the uki 610 is formed so as to cross the boundary surface 602M between the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B. Since the surface 602M is held in a floating state, the boundary surface 602M also swings with the movement of the ground 610. For example, as compared with the boundary surface (liquid surface) where the liquid contacts the upper space, In the case of the boundary surface 602M between the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B that overlap with each other, the movement of the boundary surface 602M is slower, and this makes it easier to visually understand the movement of the ground 610. .

  Further, a paint made of a material that floats on the liquid surface of the upper layer liquid 602C is applied to Uki 610, which is a portion where the liquid, that is, the upper layer liquid 602C to the lower layer liquid 602B can come into contact, and the liquid surface of the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B The upper part of the upper decorative plate 612T and the lower decorative plate 612B as opaque portions covering the bottom of the upper part liquid 602C, and the main part of the operation of the movable part between the liquid surface of the upper layer liquid 602C and the bottom of the lower layer liquid 602B from the player Since the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B are accommodated in a liquid tank 601 which is a container having a transparent portion that can be visually recognized, that is, a front wall 601F made of a transparent resin, this paint is particularly produced while repeating the operation of the uki 610. However, even if the paint peels off and becomes garbage, Since the dust floats on the liquid surface of the upper layer liquid 602C and is covered from the front by the upper decorative plate 612T and concealed from the player, the aesthetics of the Uki operation unit 600 are maintained well without being damaged by the dust. It has become.

Further, in the pachinko machine 10, a uki operation unit 600 is provided as a movable device for production at a position to the right of the decorative symbol display device 42 in the center of the game board 30, which is a position that can be visually recognized from the outside. In the configuration, the excitement operation unit 600 includes a drive unit configured by a first rotation member 605, a motor 91, a gear, and the like, a second rotation member 607, and the like, and is movable in conjunction with the operation of the drive unit. The movable portion includes a movable magnetic force portion 608 that is an input portion for inputting power from the drive portion, a thread 609 that is a flexible connecting portion, and a liquid, that is, an upper layer liquid 602C and a lower layer. A structure is provided in which a floating body 610 is connected in this order as a floating body that is held in a state suspended in the liquid 602B and operated by being pulled in a direction in which the thread 609 sinks. Therefore, the power from the drive unit is transmitted to the uki 610 that constitutes the movable portion via the thread 609 to operate the uki 610. At this time, because the thread 609 has flexibility, 610 does not directly interlock with the operation of the drive unit, but swings or causes excessive movement due to inertia, and the operation is irregular. In other words, power is not directly transmitted from the drive unit to the ground 610, but is transmitted irregularly through the flexible thread 609.
Further, when power is transmitted so as to pull the uki 610 in the direction in which it is sunk by the thread 609, buoyancy is always acting on the uki 610. Therefore, the pulling power and buoyancy act on the uki 610 so as to attract each other. In addition, since this power is not transmitted uniformly, but is irregularized by the thread 609 and the like, the uki 610 is irregularly moved up and down, which further complicates the operation. Yes.
Therefore, the operation of the uki 610 is made more irregular with respect to the operation of the drive unit, thereby expressing a complicated operation. For example, the control program for controlling the operation of the uki 610 is made more complicated. Is no longer needed.

In addition, after the uki 610 is sunk, the buoyancy can be used to return the uki 610 to its original position, thereby expressing the operation of the uki 610 floating in the liquid.
Furthermore, the uki 610 is kept floating in the upper layer liquid 602C or the lower layer liquid 602B, so that the upper layer liquid 602C or the lower layer liquid 602B acts as a buffer to protect the uki 610 from impacts. Damage is prevented.

(Modification)
The pachinko machine 10 can be variously modified as listed below, for example.

(1) In the above embodiment, the resistance member slidably contacting the second rotation member 607 is the resin shaft insertion portion 604. However, for example, the surface of the resistance member or the second rotation member The frictional force is adjusted by a method such as forming the peripheral surface (that is, the contact portion) with a material such as rubber, applying a surface treatment, forming irregularities, changing the surface roughness, and the like. The amount of deviation or delay of the second rotating member may be adjusted by adjusting the acting resistance force.

(2) Furthermore, you may make it a resistance member produce different resistance force by the position which contact | connects a 2nd rotation member. For example, the density of the surface of the resistance member or the inner peripheral surface (that is, the contact portion) of the second rotating member gradually and regularly changes along the circumferential direction by the method illustrated in the above (1). In this way, it is possible to form the unevenness or to gradually change the surface roughness so that a different frictional force is generated depending on the position. According to this configuration, the resistance force received from the resistance member during the rotation of the second rotation member varies depending on the position, whereby the rotation of the second rotation member can be made more irregular.

(3) In the above embodiment, power is transmitted from the first rotating member 605 on the inner peripheral side constituting the driving portion to the second rotating member 607 on the outer peripheral side constituting the movable portion. However, conversely, power may be transmitted from the outer peripheral side to the inner peripheral side using the inner peripheral member as the movable portion and the outer peripheral member as the drive portion.

(4) Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 17, for example, the first rotating member on the drive unit side and the second rotating member on the movable unit side are juxtaposed in the axial direction to transmit power in the axial direction. Also good. In the example shown in the figure, a disk-shaped first rotating member 614 is rotatably disposed so as to be in contact with the outer surface of the back wall 613R of the liquid tank 613, and the first rotating member 614 is arranged on the back surface. It rotates by being driven by a rotation shaft 615 that extends perpendicularly to the wall 613R and is linked to a motor 91 and a gear (not shown). On the other hand, the disc-shaped second rotating member 616 is rotatably supported on the pivot shaft 617 on the same axis as the rotating shaft 615 so as to contact the inner surface of the back wall 613R of the liquid tank 613. Has been. Driving magnetic force portions 618 are disposed at both ends in the radial direction on the front surface portion of the first rotating member 614, and movable magnetic force is positioned at a position corresponding to the driving magnetic force portion 618 on the back surface portion of the second rotating member 616. The portion 619 is arranged, and the second magnetic member 616 rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member 614 when the driving magnetic force portion 618 and the movable magnetic force portion 619 attract each other by the magnetic force. That is, the second rotating member 616 is driven and rotated by the rotation of the first rotating member 614. When the driving magnetic force portion 618 and the movable magnetic force portion 619 are attracted by magnetic force, the back surface of the second rotating member 616 is pressed against the inner surface of the back wall 613R. A frictional force is generated between the back surface of the moving member 616 and the inner surface of the back wall 613R. That is, in this example, the back wall 613R is a resistance member. In this case, the second rotating member 616 slidably contacts the inner surface of the back wall 613R at all positions including the entire back surface, that is, both the inner peripheral position and the outer peripheral position. For example, the frictional force acting on the second rotating member 616 acts as a large (particularly maximum) resistance force compared to the case where the frictional force is slidably contacted only at the position near the inner periphery, for example. ing.

(5) In the above-described embodiment, the slide mechanism adjusts the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force part 606 and the movable magnetic force part 608 by adjusting the relative position of the driving magnetic force part 606 with respect to the movable magnetic force part 608. However, in addition to the magnetic force adjusting means, for example, at least one of the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion is constituted by an electromagnet, and the magnetic force is adjusted by adjusting the current supplied to the electromagnet. It may be one that adjusts.

(6) In the above-described embodiment, the floating body 610, which is a floating body, is held in a floating state in the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B, and is pulled in the direction of sinking by the thread 609, which is a flexible connecting member. However, as shown in FIG. 18, for example, the floating body is held in space (in the air), or the floating body is driven by a connecting member that does not have flexibility. You may do it. In the example shown in the figure, it is driven by a drive unit via anomalous operation means (this drive mechanism is the same as in the case of the above embodiment and is not shown), and the second rotating member 620 has a diameter as a connecting member. An arm portion 620H extending in the direction is integrally formed, and a character 621 is fixed to the tip of the arm portion 620H. According to this configuration, the character 621 circulates in the air integrally in conjunction with the rotation of the second rotation member 620, but the second rotation member 620 is irregularly rotated by the irregular operation means. The orbiting motion of the character 621 is also irregular. At this time, since the liquid for holding the floating body in a floating state is not used, the structure is simplified because the casing 620C does not need to have a sealed structure.

(7) Also, for example, as shown in FIG. 19, the second drive member 622 is driven by a drive unit via anomalous operation means (this drive mechanism is the same as that of the above embodiment and is not shown). A pulley 623 may be arranged at a predetermined distance, and a belt 624 may be constructed between the second rotating member 622 and the pulley 623 to form a belt mechanism, and the character 625 may be fixed to the belt 624. . According to this configuration, the character 625 can be reciprocated along the belt 624 by rotating the second rotating member 622. In this case as well, the liquid for holding the floating body in a floating state Can be made unnecessary.

(8) Further, for example, as shown in FIG. 20, the floating body may be held in a state of being floated by wind power. In the example shown in the figure, a hollow character 626 made of a balloon-like thin outer shell is moved down by a thread 627 to a second rotating member 628 (the anomalous operation means and the drive mechanism are the same as in the above embodiment). It is moored by a fan (not shown), and is kept floating in the air by the air blown from the blower 629 installed below. According to this configuration, by receiving the wind force, an irregular movement of the character 626 such as swinging and moving up and down is also expressed.

(9) Alternatively, for example, a second rotating member may be disposed above, and the floating body may be suspended from the second rotating member with a thread or the like and held in a floating state (illustrated). (Omitted). According to this configuration, a blower can be dispensed with. However, for example, a blower is installed on the side and wind is applied to the floating body from the side, thereby further swinging the floating body and changing its movement. May be given.

(10) In the configuration of the excitement operation unit 600 in the above embodiment, as shown in FIG. 21, for example, the excitement 632 (floating body) is directly passed through the thread 631 to the first rotation member 630 that rotates at a constant speed. , And thereby, an excitement operation unit 633 (movable device) having a configuration in which the irregular operation means is omitted may be used. In this configuration, the power from the first rotating member 630 constituting the drive unit is input to the thread 631 that is a flexible connecting part without going through the irregular operation means (for this reason, the thread 631 is fixed). The end is the input unit) and is transmitted to Uki 632 which is a floating body. According to this configuration, the thread 631 is wound up at a constant speed by the first rotating member 630, and a certain regular tensile force is applied to the uki 632. In the same manner as described above, a complex operation is expressed by operating the uki 632 in a state where it floats in the liquid 634 and being pulled by the thread 631 which is a flexible connecting portion. In this case, the first rotating member 630 is controlled to rotate intermittently (for example, to rotate by a constant angle at a constant interval), and intermittently similar to the case of the above embodiment. You may make it operate | move. In this configuration, operation complexity is secured to some extent by using the liquid 634 for holding the floating body 632 in a floating state and the thread 631 which is a flexible connecting portion. Therefore, it is unnecessary to complicate the control of the first rotating member 630.

(11) In the above embodiment, the first rotating member 605 rotates counterclockwise when viewed from the front, and the second rotating member 607 is also driven by this rotation to rotate in the same direction. However, the first rotating member 605 and the second rotating member 607 may be configured to rotate in the opposite direction, that is, in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, and further rotated in both directions (forward and reverse directions). In this way, the uki 610 may sink in both the lower left direction and the lower right direction when viewed from the front. When the second rotating member 607 is rotated in the clockwise direction when viewed from the front, the thread 609 comes into contact with the crosspiece 611 while the uki 610 is sinking in the lower right direction when viewed from the front. The movement of the thread 609 is restricted by causing the thread 609 to come into contact with the crosspiece 611. On the other hand, the movement of the thread 609 is not restricted in the left direction or the front-rear direction of the crosspiece 611 and can move freely. Probably, the irregularity of operation | movement will also be ensured.

(12) In the above embodiment, the floating body 610, which is a floating body, is held in a floating state in the upper layer liquid 602C and the lower layer liquid 602B so that the lower end portion is moored by the thread 609, and the thread 609 If it is within the range, the movement is basically not restricted and it is held in a state where it can swing freely in any direction (up, down, left and right, back and forth). It may be configured to be regulated. For example, a floating body having an outer peripheral portion along the inner shape of the cylindrical body is accommodated in a cylindrical body extending in an arbitrary direction so that the floating body can reciprocate in the longitudinal direction in the cylindrical body. Or a configuration (not shown) that allows the floating body to slide on a rail extending in an arbitrary shape such as a linear shape, a bent shape, or a curved shape in which the floating body is installed in an arbitrary direction is possible. .

(13) In the above-described embodiment, the paint applied to the uki 610 floats on the liquid surface of the upper liquid 602C when peeled off. For example, air bubbles are formed in the paint applied to the uki 610. According to this, even if the paint is made of a material whose specific gravity is somewhat higher than that of the upper layer liquid 602C, it can float on the liquid surface. Or, conversely, for example, a paint made of a material having a specific gravity greater than that of the lower layer liquid 602B may be used to sink in the lower layer liquid 602B. The dust settles on the bottom of the lower layer liquid 602B, and is covered from the front by the lower decorative plate 612B and hidden from the player.
Further, in addition to the uki 610, for example, the second rotating member 607, the inner surface of the liquid tank 601, etc., the liquid, that is, the upper layer liquid 602C or the lower layer liquid 602B may be in any part as long as it is a part that can be contacted. You may make it apply | coat the coating material consisting of the material which floats on the liquid level of such upper-layer liquid 602C, or settles at the bottom of lower-layer liquid 602B.

(14) The driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion may be anything that can generate a magnetic force between them. For example, one of the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion is a magnet, and the other is a magnet such as a metal or an alloy. A configuration in which the two N poles and the other S pole are attracted to each other or both N poles or S poles repel each other may be used.
Moreover, as a magnet, you may use an electromagnet other than a permanent magnet. Furthermore, as the permanent magnet, any of various magnets such as an alnico magnet, a ferrite magnet, and a neodymium magnet can be used.

(15) The connecting portion having flexibility may be anything that is configured to have flexibility, for example, a wire made of resin, metal, cotton or the like, a string, a wire such as a wire, or a resin film. And a tape made of metal foil or the like, a chain made of resin, metal or the like.
Furthermore, if the connecting portion is made of, for example, a wire made of rubber, tape, or the like, the operation can be further complicated by elasticity.
Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the movable magnetic part 608 which is an input part, the thread | yarn 609 which is a connection part, and Uki 610 which is a floating body were comprised separately, respectively, an input part, a connection part, and a floating body are comprised. Two of them (that is, the input unit and the coupling unit, or the coupling unit and the floating body) or the three parties (that is, the input unit, the coupling unit, and the floating body) may be integrally formed. For example, a configuration in which a solid or hollow floating body that swells in an arbitrary shape is integrally formed at the tip of a linear body made of resin, rubber, metal, or the like as a connecting portion.

(16) In the above-described embodiment, the upper layer liquid 602C made of water and the lower layer liquid 602B made of a water-insoluble liquid having a specific gravity larger than water are separated from each other up and down substantially at the center without being mixed with each other. Although it was the structure which overlapped, as a liquid, it is not limited to the above, Arbitrary things can be used. However, when a plurality of liquids are used, the use of a liquid that can maintain a separated state without being mixed with each other as in the above-described embodiment may form an interface between the liquids to emphasize the operation of the movable part. It can be a component that can assist.
In addition, an arbitrary gas such as air may be used instead of the liquid. Furthermore, for example, a configuration in which a gas is arranged on one or a plurality of layers of liquid is also possible.

(17) In the above embodiment, the pachinko machine 10 is exemplified. However, as a gaming machine, a slot machine and a gaming machine in which the pachinko machine and the slot machine are fused are also exemplified.
The basic configuration of the slot machine is “variable display means for confirming and displaying the identification information after dynamically displaying an identification information string made up of a plurality of identification information, resulting from the operation of the starting operation means (for example, an operation lever). The dynamic display of the identification information is started, and the dynamic display of the identification information is stopped due to the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, the stop button) or when a predetermined time elapses. The game machine is provided with special game state generating means for generating a special game state advantageous to the player on condition that the confirmed identification information is the specific identification information.
In this case, examples of valuable objects include coins and medals.
As a basic configuration of a gaming machine in which a pachinko machine and a slot machine are integrated, “a variable display means for confirming and displaying identification information after dynamically displaying an identification information string composed of a plurality of identification information, and a starting operation means ( For example, the dynamic display of the identification information is started due to the operation of the operation lever), the dynamic display of the identification information is caused by the operation of the operation means for stop (for example, the stop button), or when a predetermined time has elapsed. Special game state generating means for generating a special game state that is advantageous to the player on the condition that the display is stopped and the confirmed identification information at the time of the stop is specific identification information, and a ball is used as a valuable object In addition, a gaming machine is configured so that a predetermined number of balls are required at the start of dynamic display of the identification information, and many balls are paid out when a special gaming state occurs. It made.

(Addition to means for solving the problem)
Gaming machine according to the present invention, as a means 1,
A gaming machine in which a movable device for production is provided at a position that can be visually recognized from the outside,
The movable device is:
A drive unit;
A movable part interlocking with the operation of the drive part;
An anomalous operation means for making the operation of the movable portion irregular with respect to the operation of the drive portion, interposed between the drive portion and the movable portion,
It is characterized by providing .
In the present invention, “interlocking” is not limited to the operation of the other in synchronism with one operation, but also includes the operation of the other so as to slightly precede or delay one operation. .
According to the configuration of the upper Symbol means 1, but is driven by the movable portion by the drive unit is operated, by an intervening anomalous operating means between the drive unit and the movable unit, the operation of the movable portion driving portion It is not linked directly, but linked irregularly. In other words, power is not directly transmitted from the drive unit to the movable unit, but is irregularly transmitted through the irregular operation means. Therefore, the operation of the movable part is more complicated than the operation of the drive part.For example, even if the operation of the drive part is a constant monotonous operation, the operation of the movable part becomes irregular and more complicated operation is also possible. It becomes possible to express.
At this time, the operation of the movable part is irregularized by interposing an irregular operation means between the drive part and the movable part, so that it is not necessary to control the operation of the movable part by a complicated control program, for example. Or, for example, even when the control is complicated, the operation of the movable part can be further complicated.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 1 as means 2.
The driving unit has a first rotating member provided rotatably, and a driving magnetic force unit is provided at a predetermined position of the first rotating member,
The movable portion has a second rotating member provided rotatably, and a movable magnetic force portion is provided at a predetermined position of the second rotating member,
The first rotating member and the second rotating member are rotated to the extent that the second rotating member rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member by the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force unit and the movable magnetic force unit. The rotating member is placed in close proximity,
The irregular operation means is a resistance member that is slidably in contact with the second rotating member at a position near the outer periphery .
In the present invention, “rotation” implies both a rotation operation in one direction and a rotation operation in both forward and reverse directions.
In addition, as the “driving magnetic part” and the “moving magnetic part”, both imply that magnetic force can act between each other, for example, one of the driving magnetic part and the movable magnetic part is a magnet, and the other is A configuration in which a magnetic material such as metal or alloy is used, or a configuration in which both N poles and the other S pole are attracted to each other, or both N poles or S poles repel each other. Etc. are included. For this reason, “the second rotating member is interlocked with the rotation of the first rotating member by the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic part and the movable magnetic part” means that the driving magnetic part and the movable magnetic part are magnetic. Both the case of interlocking by attracting each other and the case of interlocking by repulsion by magnetic force are implied.
Further, “the rotation of the second rotation member is interlocked with the rotation of the first rotation member” means that the rotation of the second rotation member follows the rotation of the first rotation member with a delay. Means to be linked.
The “position near the outer periphery” in the second rotating member means a position closer to the outer periphery than an intermediate position between the rotation center and the outer periphery of the second rotating member, that is, the rotation of the second rotating member. This is a position at a distance greater than ½ of the maximum radius in the orbit when the second rotating member rotates from the moving center.

According to the configuration of the means 2, the magnetic force acts between the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion, so that the second rotating member rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member. The second rotating member is driven to rotate by the rotation of the one rotating member. At this time, the second rotating member is slidably in contact with the resistance member at a position near the outer periphery. A relatively large resistance force is generated between the resistance member and the second rotation member is not smoothly interlocked with the rotation of the first rotation member due to this resistance force. Will be linked. That is, for example, if the second rotating member is slidably in contact with the resistance member at a position closer to the inner periphery, the frictional force acting between the second rotating member and the resistance member does not become a large resistance force. However, when the second rotating member is slidably in contact with the resistance member at a position near the outer periphery, the frictional force acting between them becomes a relatively large resistance force, and this resistance force is the second rotating member. This will cause a gap or delay. As a result, even if the first rotating member is regularly rotated at a constant speed, the operation of the movable portion becomes irregular and slightly deviated from this.
Further, in the middle of the rotation of the first rotating member and the second rotating member while interlocking as described above, the resistance force generated by the frictional force and the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion are Since the magnitude relationship is not constant but always varies, the amount of deviation or delay of the second rotating member also varies accordingly, thereby irregularizing the operation of the movable portion.
Further, at this time, since it is not necessary to make the combination of the material of the resistance member and the second rotating member so as to cause friction in particular, the irregular operation means is configured with a simple material and structure from the drive unit. The power transmission to the movable part can be irregularized.

The gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 1 as means 3.
The driving unit has a first rotating member provided rotatably, and a driving magnetic force unit is provided at a predetermined position of the first rotating member,

The rotating member is placed in close proximity,
The irregular operation means is a resistance member that slidably contacts the second rotating member at a position where the second rotating member rotates with a delay with respect to the rotation of the first rotating member. Features.

  According to the configuration of the above means 3, the operation of the movable part is slightly more than the operation of the drive part because the resistance member rotates the second rotation member with a delay with respect to the rotation of the first rotation member. It will be out of order.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 1 as means 4,
The driving unit has a first rotating member provided rotatably, and a driving magnetic force unit is provided at a predetermined position of the first rotating member,
The movable portion has a second rotating member provided rotatably, and a movable magnetic force portion is provided at a predetermined position of the second rotating member,
The first rotating member and the second rotating member are rotated to the extent that the second rotating member rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the first rotating member by the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force unit and the movable magnetic force unit. The rotating member is placed in close proximity,
The irregular operation means is a resistance member that is slidably in contact with the second rotating member from the inner peripheral side.

  According to the configuration of the means 4, the resistance member effectively contacts the second rotating member from the inner peripheral side so that the resistance force acts effectively. On the other hand, it is anomalous that is slightly different.

A gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine according to any one of the means 2 to 4, as the means 5.
A magnetic force adjusting means for adjusting a magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion is provided.

  In the present invention, the “magnetic force adjusting means” includes a member that adjusts the magnetic force by adjusting the relative position between the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion, and at least one of the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion is configured by an electromagnet. Any adjustment of the magnetic force by adjusting the current applied to the electromagnet is implied.

According to the configuration of the means 5, the strength of the power transmitted from the first rotating member to the second rotating member can be adjusted by adjusting the magnetic force by the magnetic force adjusting means, and accordingly, the second rotating The degree of shift or delay of the interlocking of the members can be adjusted.
Further, the power transmission from the first rotating member to the second rotating member is interrupted or started so as to rapidly decrease or increase the magnetic force acting between the driving magnetic force portion and the movable magnetic force portion. As described above, the operations can be further diversified.

A gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine according to any one of the means 2 to 5, as the means 6.
The resistance member generates different resistance force depending on a position in contact with the second rotating member.

  According to the configuration of the means 6, the resistance force received from the resistance member during the rotation of the second rotation member varies depending on the position, and thereby the rotation of the second rotation member becomes more irregular.

A gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine according to any one of the means 1 to 6, as the means 7.
The movable portion includes a configuration in which an input portion that inputs power from the driving portion via anomalous operation means, a flexible connecting portion, and a floating body are connected in this order. .

In the present invention, the “flexible connecting portion” implies any one as long as it is configured to have flexibility, for example, a wire such as a thread, a string, a wire, a tape, Anything composed of a chain or the like is included.
In addition, as the input unit, the connection unit, and the floating body, they are configured as separate bodies, and two of them (that is, the input unit and the connection unit, or the connection unit and the floating body) or All of the three (ie, the input unit, the coupling unit, and the floating body) are integrally formed are included.

  According to the configuration of the means 7, the power from the drive unit is transmitted to the floating body via the connecting portion, and the floating body operates. At this time, the connecting portion has flexibility, so that the floating body is Oscillating or excessive movement is generated due to inertia, and the operation becomes more irregular (that is, the irregular operation of the movable part is amplified).

In addition, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 7 as means 8,
The floating body is held in a state of floating in a liquid and operates by being pulled in a direction in which the floating body sinks.

  In the present invention, “floating in the liquid” means both a state where the liquid floats on the liquid surface and remains stationary or swings, and a state where the liquid floats while being immersed in the liquid.

According to the configuration of the means 8 described above, when power is transmitted so that the floating body is pulled in the direction of sinking by the connecting member, buoyancy is always acting on the floating body, so that the pulling power and buoyancy are attracted to each other. In addition, since this power is not transmitted uniformly but is irregularized by the irregular motion means, the movable body can also move up and down irregularly, This can further complicate the operation.
In addition, the floating body can be returned to the original position by using buoyancy after sinking, and thus the movement of the floating body in the liquid can be expressed.
Furthermore, since the floating body is held in a state of floating in the liquid, the liquid serves as a buffer to protect the floating body from an impact, thereby preventing the damage to the floating body.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 8 as means 9,
The boundary surface of the liquid is visible to a player.

  In the present invention, the “liquid boundary surface” means not only the boundary surface where the liquid contacts the upper space or the lower bottom, but also the boundary surface formed between two different types of liquids.

  According to the configuration of the means 9, the liquid is swung with the movement of the floating body and ripples are generated on the boundary surface, which suggests a slight movement of the floating body or emphasizes the movement of the floating body. This makes it easier to visually understand the movement of the floating body.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 8 or means 9 as means 10,
The whole of the floating body is maintained in a state of being immersed in a liquid.

  According to the configuration of the means 10, the entire floating body is protected from impact, and thereby the damage to the floating body is more reliably prevented.

Further, the gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine of means 10 as means 11,
Two kinds of different liquids are arranged so as to overlap each other in a vertically separated state, and the floating body is held in a floating state so as to cross the boundary surface between the upper and lower liquids.

  According to the configuration of the means 11, the boundary surface of the upper and lower liquids swings with the movement of the floating body. For example, as compared with the boundary surface (liquid surface) where the liquid contacts the upper space, In the case of a liquid boundary surface overlying, the movement of this boundary surface becomes slower, and this makes the movement of the floating body more visually understandable.

A gaming machine according to the present invention is a gaming machine according to any one of the means 8 to 11, as the means 12.
