  Furthermore, the arm unit 21 includes an arm motor 21M that serves as a power source when moving an arm member such as the first arm member 22La. Moreover, the arm part 21 is provided with the arm sensor 28 which detects passage of the to-be-detected part 27 provided in the circular-arc-shaped tooth part 241 as shown to Fig.6 (a). The arm portion 21 includes an arm base member 21B that holds an arm member such as the first arm member 22La, an arm motor 21M, and an arm sensor 28.

As shown to Fig.6 (a), 1st arm member 22La has the circular arc-shaped tooth | gear part 241 which has arrange | positioned the several tooth | gear in circular arc shape at the edge part of the side which the hinge 23L does not connect. The second arm member 22Lb has an arcuate tooth portion 242 at the end on the side where the hinge 23L is not provided.
Moreover, 3rd arm member 22Ra has the circular-arc-shaped tooth | gear part 243 in the edge part by which the hinge 23R is not provided. The fourth arm member 22Rb has an arcuate tooth portion 244 at the end on the side where the hinge 23R is not connected.

  In this embodiment, the shaft 261 that passes through the rotation center of the arcuate tooth portion 241 of the first arm member 22La is attached to the arm base member 21B that is fixed to the upper frame member 150 (see FIG. 1). . Similarly, a shaft 263 that passes through the rotation center of the arcuate tooth portion 243 of the third arm member 22Ra is attached to the arm base member 21B. Thus, the arm portion 21 is held so as to be suspended from the arm base member 21B.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, a shaft 262 that passes through the rotation center of the arcuate tooth portion 242 of the second arm member 22 </ b> Lb is attached to the back side of the head 11. Similarly, a shaft 264 that passes through the center of rotation of the arcuate tooth portion 244 of the fourth arm member 22Rb is attached to the back surface side B of the head 11. Thereby, the head 11 of this embodiment will be in the state suspended from the arm base member 21B via the arm part 21. FIG.
In the present embodiment, as described above, the head 11 is stably held by the two members of the second arm member 22Lb and the fourth arm member 22Rb so that the head 11 does not tilt, for example.

Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, the arm portion 21 includes a first gear 251 that meshes with the arc-shaped tooth portion 241 of the first arm member 22La, and the arc-shaped teeth of the first gear 251 and the third arm member 22Ra. And a third gear 253 that meshes with the portion 243.
Furthermore, the arm portion 21 includes a second gear 252 that meshes with the arcuate tooth portion 242 of the second arm member 22Lb, and a fourth gear 254 that meshes with the arcuate tooth portion 244 of the second gear 252 and the fourth arm member 22Rb, respectively. Is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the first gear 251 to the fourth gear 254 and the first arm are connected by connecting the arc-shaped tooth portion 243 and the arc-shaped tooth portion 244 via the second gear 252 and the fourth gear 254. The member 22La to the fourth arm member 22Rb are mechanically connected. And in this embodiment, said member which comprises the arm part 21 is made to interlock | cooperate. In this embodiment, all the members are interlocked in this way, and for example, a shift between members such as a specific member moving later than the other members is prevented. Further, as will be described later, the entire member constituting the arm portion 21 can be moved by a single arm motor 21M.

  In the present embodiment, a stepping motor or the like can be employed as the arm motor 21M. The arm motor 21M is attached to the arm base member 21B. The arm motor 21M is driven under the control of the lamp control unit 320. In this embodiment, the arm motor 21M is connected to the first gear 251 and applies a rotational driving force to the first gear 251.

  The arm sensor 28 is attached to the arm base member 21B. Therefore, even when the first arm member 22La is operated, the position of the arm sensor 28 does not move. Further, as shown in FIG. 6A, the arm sensor 28 includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element (detection elements) arranged so as to sandwich the detected part 27 when the detected part 27 of the arcuate tooth part 241 faces. Element). Then, the arm sensor 28 sends a detection result indicating whether or not the beam emitted from the light emitting element is detected by the light receiving element to the lamp control unit 320.

  The detected portion 27 is a fan-shaped plate-like member provided on the outer periphery of the arcuate tooth portion 241 as shown in FIG. The detected portion 27 has one end 27a and the other end 27b. As shown in FIG. 6A, one end 27a of the detected portion 27 is a portion facing the arm sensor 28 in a state where the arcuate tooth portion 241 is rotated so that the head portion 11 is in a standby state. It is set to be. Further, as shown in FIG. 6B, the other end 27b of the detected portion 27 is a portion facing the arm sensor 28 in a state where the arcuate tooth portion 241 is rotated so that the head portion 11 appears. It is set to become.

  In this embodiment, the state of the arm unit 21 is grasped based on the detection result of the arm sensor 28. For example, when shifting from the standby state of FIG. 6A to the appearance state of FIG. 6B, the other end 27 b of the detected portion 27 passes through the arm sensor 28. When passing, the detection pattern result of the arm sensor 28 indicates that the other end 27b is changed from “no light reception” in a state where the region between the one end 27a and the other end 27b of the detected portion 27 faces the arm sensor 28. It changes to “with light reception” in a state where the detected portion 27 does not face the arm sensor 28 after passing. In the present embodiment, based on the detection result of the light reception pattern that changes from “no light reception” to “with light reception”, it is determined that the arm portion 21 is in a state where the head 11 is in the appearance state. The same applies to the transition from the appearance state to the standby state.

In the present embodiment, the lamp control unit 320 normally controls the arm motor 21M to rotate by a predetermined rotation angle when operating the arm unit 21. In the arm unit 21 of this embodiment, for example, when the head 11 is shifted from the standby state to the appearance state, the lamp control unit 320 sets the arm motor 21M of the arm unit 21 in the standby state to a predetermined number of steps (rotation angle). ) Only rotate. Further, when the head unit 11 is shifted from the appearance state to the standby state by the arm unit 21, the lamp control unit 320 sets the arm motor 21M of the arm unit 21 in the appearance state by a predetermined number of steps (rotation angle). Rotate.
Thus, by controlling the number of steps (rotation angle) of the arm motor 21M to control the vertical movement of the arm unit 21, in this embodiment, the control program for the arm unit 21 in the lamp control unit 320 is simplified. We are trying to make it.

  Here, for some reason, the operation of the arm unit 21 may deviate from the intended state. That is, in some cases, the arm unit 21 may not enter a standby state even though the arm motor 21M is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle in the arm unit 21 in the appearance state. In such a case, the operation of the arm unit 21 is corrected by using the detection result of the arm sensor 28.

Specifically, the arm motor 21M is rotated in a direction in which the arm unit 21 enters a standby state. Then, the rotation of the arm motor 21M is stopped at the timing when the light reception pattern by the arm sensor 28 changes from “no light reception” to “with light reception”. Thereby, the arm part 21 can be returned to a standby state.
Further, the arm motor 21M is rotated in the direction in which the arm portion 21 is in the appearance state. Then, the rotation of the arm motor 21M is stopped at the timing when the light reception pattern by the arm sensor 28 changes from “no light reception” to “with light reception”. Thereby, the arm part 21 can be made into an appearance state.

(Arm operation)
As shown in FIG. 6B, by driving the arm motor 21M, the first gear 251 is rotated in the direction of the arrow VIb in the figure. Then, when the arcuate tooth portion 241 of the first arm member 22La that has received the rotation of the first gear 251 rotates, the first arm member 22La is pushed downward. When the first arm member 22La is pushed down, the second arm member 22Lb is also pushed down via the hinge 23L.
Further, when the first gear 251 rotates, the third gear 253 rotates, and when the arcuate tooth portion 243 of the third arm member 22Ra that receives the rotation of the third gear 253 rotates, the third arm member rotates. 22Ra is pushed downward. When the third arm member 22Ra is pushed down, the fourth arm member 22Rb is also pushed down via the hinge 23R.
Then, the head 11 connected to the shaft 262 passing through the arcuate tooth portion 242 of the second arm member 22Lb and the shaft 264 passing through the arcuate tooth portion 244 of the fourth arm member 22Rb moves downward.

As described above, in the present embodiment, by driving the arm motor 21M and rotating the first gear 251, the head state changes from the standby state shown in FIG. 6A to the appearance state shown in FIG. 6B. The position of the part 11 moves.
When the position of the head 11 is shifted from the appearance state to the standby state, the first gear 251 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow VIb shown in FIG. As a result, the state in which the head 11 is positioned on the lower side as in the appearance state shown in FIG. 6B is changed to the state in which the head 11 is positioned on the upper side in the standby state shown in FIG. Transition.

Moreover, the lift part 41 is provided with the lift sensor 46 which detects the to-be-detected part 36 (refer FIG. 7) provided in the trunk | drum base member 31B.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the lift motor 41M is attached to the lift base member 41B. In addition, the rotation bases of the gear 432, the first pinion gear 441, and the second pinion gear 442 are respectively held by the lift base member 41B. Further, a relay terminal plate 90B (described later) of the relay unit 90 and the lift sensor 46 are attached to the lift base member 41B. The lift base member 41B itself is fixed at a predetermined position on the game board 110. Accordingly, the lift motor 41M and the gear member held by the lift base member 41B do not move as the positions of the members.

A stepping motor can be used as the lift motor 41M of the present embodiment. The lift motor 41M rotates under the control of the lamp control unit 320. The lift motor 41 </ b> M applies a rotational force to the gear 432 via the gear 430.
The gear 432 transmits the rotational force received from the lift motor 41M to the second pinion gear 442. Further, the gear 431 transmits the rotational force received from the lift motor 41M via the gear 432 to the first pinion gear 441.
As shown in FIG. 9, the first pinion gear 441 and the second pinion gear 442 apply the rotational force transmitted from the lift motor 41M to the first rack gear 351 and the second rack gear 352 of the body portion 31.

  The first lift guide portion 451 and the second lift guide portion 452 are grooves having a concave shape as shown in FIG. And the 1st lift guide part 451 and the 2nd lift guide part 452 are extended and formed along an up-down direction in the state in which the lift part 41 was provided in the game board 110 (refer FIG. 9). The width of the recess-shaped groove constituting the first lift guide part 451 and the second lift guide part 452 is such that the first slide part 341 and the second slide part 342 of the body base member 31B to be fitted are slidable, The body base member 31B is set so as not to rattle.

The lift sensor 46 includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element (detecting element) arranged so as to sandwich the detected part 36 when the detected part 36 faces (see FIG. 7). The lift sensor 46 then sends a detection result indicating whether or not the light beam emitted from the light emitting element has been detected by the light receiving element to the lamp control unit 320.

  For example, in the standby state shown in FIG. 7, the detected portion 36 faces the lift sensor 46. Therefore, the lift sensor 46 provides a detection result of “no light reception” and “light reception”. On the other hand, in the appearance state (see FIG. 12 described later), the detected portion 36 does not face the lift sensor 46. In this case, the lift sensor 46 obtains a detection result of “with light reception” and “no light reception”. Accordingly, the lamp control unit 320 of the present embodiment is configured to be able to determine whether or not the trunk base member 31B is located at the standby position based on the detection result of the presence or absence of light reception by the lift sensor 46. ing.

Next, the harness holding part 80 provided on the trunk base member 31B and holding the second harness 92 of the relay part 90 will be described in detail.

The first projecting portion 821 and the second projecting portion 822 are disposed on one end side and the other end side along the moving direction of the body portion 31. Further, in the present embodiment, the first protrusion 821 and the second protrusion 822 are provided at positions separated from the side of the body base member 31B by a certain distance. In the present embodiment, the power receiving portion 72R that receives the connector 92C2 of the trunk portion second substrate 72 is located at the inner end of the trunk base member 31B. Accordingly, the first projecting portion 821 and the second projecting portion 822 are provided apart from the power receiving unit 72R and the connector 92C2 by a certain distance.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the opening width of the opening 81 is set to be larger than the outer diameter of the second harness 92 and equal to or less than the lateral width of the connector 92C2 of the second harness 92 as shown in FIG. ing. In the present embodiment, the opening 81 does not restrain the second harness 92 by making the opening width of the opening 81 larger than the outer diameter of the second harness 92. In the present embodiment, the opening width of the opening 81 is set to be equal to or smaller than the lateral width of the connector 92C2 of the second harness 92, so that when the connector 92C2 is attached to and detached from the power receiving portion 72R, the opening 81 (slope 85). ) Can contact the connector 92C2 to guide the attachment / detachment of the connector 92C2.

  The interval between the first protrusion 821 and the second protrusion 822 constituting the sandwiching part 82 is set so that the second harness 92 can be held by the first protrusion 821 and the second protrusion 822. In this embodiment, the width is set to be slightly narrower than the outer diameter of the second harness 92.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 10B, the first protrusion 821 and the second protrusion 822 constituting the sandwiching part 82 can hold the second harness 92 at a distance from the plate part 83. It is set to be height. And the opening part 81 has the slope part 85 in the upper part (surface which faces the front side F). The slope portion 85 is inclined so that the height from the plate portion 83 gradually decreases from the sandwiching portion 82 side toward the power receiving portion 72R and the connector 92C2. The slope 85 is set so that the side of the opening 81 closest to the power receiving portion 72R and the connector 92C2 is at the same position as the upper surface of the body portion second substrate 72 or lower than the upper surface.

And when connecting the 2nd harness 92 to the trunk | drum 2nd board | substrate 72, the connector 92C2 of the 2nd harness 92 is moved along the slope part 85 of the opening part 81. FIG. Then, the connector 92C2 of the second harness 92 is connected to the power receiving unit 72R. Further, by inserting a portion of the second harness 92 far from the connector 92 </ b> C <b> 2 between the first protrusion 821 and the second protrusion 822 of the sandwiching portion 82, the second harness 92 is sandwiched and held by the harness holding portion 80.
In the harness holding portion 80 of the present embodiment, since the front side F is open, the connector 92C2 can be inserted from the front side F into the opening 81 and the sandwiching portion 82, and attachment is easy. Moreover, since the 1st projection part 821 and the 2nd projection part 822 of the clamping part 82 are arranged along with the moving direction of the trunk | drum 31 (torso base member 31B), depending on the raising / lowering movement of the trunk | drum 31, the 2nd harness 92 is difficult to come off.

(Operation of the fuselage unit)
FIG. 12 is a diagram showing the trunk unit 30 in the appearance state.
In the present embodiment, the lift control unit 41 is operated by controlling the lift motor 41M by the ramp control unit 320. For example, the ramp controller 320 controls the lift motor 41M to rotate in a predetermined rotation direction by a predetermined number of steps (rotation angle).
Then, the lift motor 41M is operated to rotate the gear 432 in the arrow XII direction in FIG. Then, the second pinion gear 442 connected to the gear 432 rotates. Then, in response to the rotation of the second pinion gear 442, the second rack gear 352 of the lift base member 41B is pushed upward. On the other hand, when the gear 432 rotates, the first pinion gear 441 rotates via the gear 431. Then, by the rotation of the first pinion gear 441, the first rack gear 351 of the lift base member 41B is pushed upward. When the lift base member 41B is pushed upward, the body portion 31 held by the lift base member 41B moves to a position where it appears.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the position of the body portion 31 is shifted from the standby state (see FIG. 7) to the appearance state shown in FIG. 12 by driving the lift motor 41M and rotating the gear 432.
When the position of the body part 31 is shifted from the appearance state to the standby state, the gear 432 is rotated in the direction opposite to the arrow XII shown in FIG. Thereby, the state in which the body part 31 is located on the upper side as shown in FIG. 12 shifts to the state in which the body part 31 is located on the lower side as in the standby state (see FIG. 7).

When the body part 31 is moved up and down by the lift part 41, one end side is attached to the relay terminal plate 90B provided in the lift part 41, and the other end side is attached to the body part second substrate 72 of the body part 31. , It moves and deforms for every lifting operation.
