  Next, how the distance between the first part 311 and the second part 312 changes when the main link 400 is rotated from the proximity position to the separation position will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 17, when the main link 400 is in the close position, the angle formed by the vertical line VL and the line segment AP is indicated by “θ”. Furthermore, an angle formed by the line segment AP and the line segment PQ is indicated by “α”. The first part 311 and the second part 312 form a vertical surface (facing the player). Therefore, the angle α is expressed by the following formula.

  α = π−θ (1)

Equation (1) means that the angle α of the first part 311 and the like changes according to the angle θ of the main link 400 at the close position.
Here, the angle θ is about 63.5 °. However, the angle θ is not limited to this, and the angle θ varies depending on the shape of the main link 400, the first part 311 and the like and how their movements are designed. . The range of the angle θ considered in design is, for example, (π / 4 <θ <π / 2).

When the main link 400 is rotated from the close position (the rotation angle is indicated by “β” in FIG. 17), the main link 400 is rotated to the separation position. In FIG. 17, the angle formed by the vertical line VL and the line segment AP ′ is indicated by “θ”.
The length of the line segment R′H (the distance between the first part 311 and the second part 312) is expressed by the following expression. Note that the point H is an intersection of the straight line L1 and a perpendicular line extending from the point R ′ to the straight line L1.

  d = d1 * cos (π−2θ) (2)

Here, d is the length of the line segment R′H, and d1 is the length of the line segment R′P ′ (= DA).
As described above, when the main link 400 rotates within the design range (π / 4 <θ <π / 2),
The length d is in the following range.

  0 <d <d1 (3)

  According to Equation (3), when the main link 400 is rotated between the proximity position and the separation position, the distance between the first part 311 and the second part 312 is kept longer than 0. The first part 311 and the second part 312 do not contact each other.

As shown in FIGS. 12 and 15, the first part 311 and the second part 312 are brought into close proximity with each other at the close position by the parallel link mechanism 400 </ b> A, and their surfaces are forward (front). At the separation position, the parts are separated from each other and moved upward, and their surfaces are directed obliquely upward.
In the parallel link mechanism 400A, one or more of the constituent members such as the main link 400 may be biased in a direction to rotate from the proximity position to the separation position. As a result, it is possible to reduce the burden on the motor 202 when it is rotated from the proximity position to the separation position. Furthermore, the first part 311 and the second part 312 are quickly separated as much as the burden on the motor 202 is reduced.

[Slider crank mechanism 500A]
Next, a slider crank mechanism that causes the second part 312 and the third part 313 to approach and separate and further moves the second movable part 320 forward and backward will be described with reference to FIGS. 12, 15, and 17.

  As shown in FIGS. 12, 15, and 17, the slider crank mechanism 500 </ b> A includes a base 201, a branch portion 430, a sub link 500, and a slider.

(Branch part 430)
The branch part 430 is formed integrally with the main link 400. Thereby, the branch part 430 is comprised so that it may rotate integrally with the main link 400 centering | focusing on the shaft member 211 (fulcrum A). The branch part 430 is extended substantially downward from the rear end part side of the main link 400, and an elongated hole 431 is provided in the extended end part (see FIG. 12).

(Sublink 500)
The sub link 500 is supported by the base 201 so as to be rotatable in the front-rear direction by a shaft member 215 (fulcrum E). The sub link 500 extends substantially upward from the shaft member 215 side, and a shaft member 216 (fulcrum F) is provided at the extended end.

  The third part 313 and the second movable part 320 are fixed to the sub link 500. The third part 313 is disposed on the lower end portion side of the sublink 500, and the second movable portion 320 is disposed on the upper end portion side of the sublink 500.

(Slider)
In FIG. 17, the slider at the rear position is indicated by “G”, and the slider at the front position is indicated by “G ′”. The slider is configured by a shaft member 216 provided at the end of the sub link 500. An elongated hole 431 is provided at the end of the branch part 430. The long hole 431 is formed with the substantially vertical direction as the longitudinal direction (also the longitudinal direction of the branch portion 430). The shaft member 216 is fitted into the elongated hole 431 so as to be movable in the longitudinal direction.

(Function of slider crank mechanism 500A)
The operation of the slider crank mechanism 500A configured as described above will be described with reference to FIG.

  In FIG. 17, the shaft members 215 and 216 are indicated by fulcrums E and F. Further, the third part 313 at the rear position is indicated by a line segment EJ, the branch portion 430 is indicated by a line segment AF, and the sublink 500 is indicated by a line segment EF. Further, the third part 313 at the front position is indicated by a line segment EJ ′, the branch part 430 is indicated by a line segment AF ′, and the sublink 500 is indicated by a line segment EF ′. The length of the line segment EF is about 75 mm. Furthermore, the length of the line segment EJ is about 41 mm.

  Next, the relationship between the movement of the main link 400 and the movement of the sublink 500 will be described with reference to FIG. The main link 400 is rotated integrally with the branch portion 430 around the shaft member 211 (fulcrum A), and the branch portion 430 is connected to the sub link 500 via the shaft member 216 (fulcrum F). The relationship between the movement of the main link 400 and the movement of the sublink 500 can be described by clarifying the relationship between the movement of the branch unit 430 and the movement of the sublink 500. Incidentally, the movement of the branch unit 430 is represented by the movement of the line segment AF. Furthermore, the movement of the sublink 500 is represented by the movement of the line segment EF.

  The length of the line segment AF at the rear position is about 55 mm. Further, the length of the line segment AF ′ at the front position is about 55 mm.

Velocity v ₁ of the line segment AF when pivoted from the rear position to the forward position is represented by the following formula.

v ₁ = r ₁ * ω ₁ (4)

Here, r ₁ is the length of the line segment AF, and ω ₁ is the angular velocity of the line segment AF.

The speed v ₂ of the line segment EF at the time of turning from the rear position to the forward position is represented by the following formula.

v ₂ = r ₂ * ω ₂ (5)

Here, r ₂ is the length of the line segment EF, and ω ₂ is the angular velocity of the line segment EF.

In fulcrums F, the speed _{v 1} of the line AF, because of the speed _{v 2} of the line segment EF is the same (v1 = v2), the following equation holds.

ω ₁ / ω ₂ = r ₂ / r ₁ (6)

Since the length (r ₁ ) of the line segment AF is about 55 mm and the length (r ₂ ) of the line segment EF is about 75 mm,

ω ₁ / ω ₂ ≒ 1.4 (7)

That is, in the slider crank mechanism 500A, from the rear position to the front position, the branch portion 430 (the main link 400 and the second part 312 that are rotated together with the branch portion 430) and the sub link 500 (rotated together with the branch portion 430). It can be seen that the angular velocity ω ₁ of the branch part 430 is about 1.4 times faster than the angular velocity ω ₂ of the sublink 500 when the second movable part 320) is rotated.

As described above, by increasing the length of the line segment EF with respect to the length of the line segment AF, the angular velocity of the branch portion 430 (main link 400, second part 312) is changed to the sub link 500 (second movable). The angular velocity ω ₂ of the portion 320).

Similarly, the speed of the line segment AF ′ when rotating from the front position to the rear position is also expressed by the above equation (4). Furthermore, when rotating from the front position to the rear position, the speed of the line segment EF ′ is also expressed by the above equation (5). That is, in the slider crank mechanism 500A, from the front position to the rear position, the branch portion 430 (the main link 400 and the second part 312 that are rotated together with this) and the sub link 500 (that is rotated together with this). when that second movable part 320) is rotated, the branch portion 430 (main link 400, the angular velocity omega ₁ of the second part 312) is about from sublinks 500 angular omega ₂ (second movable portion 320) It turns out that it is 1.4 times faster.

At an intermediate position between the front position and the rear position, the length of the line segment EF is kept longer than the length of the line segment AF. Incidentally, the length of the line segment EF is about 75 mm which is constant, whereas the length of the line segment AF is in the range of about 47 mm to about 55 mm. In this way, by increasing the length of the line segment EF with respect to the length of the line segment AF, the angular velocity of the branch unit 430 (main link 400, second part 312) is changed to the sub link 500 (second movable unit). faster than the angular velocity ω ₂ of 320).

  Next, FIG. 12 shows how the third part 313 and the second movable unit 320 move when the main link 400 is rotated from the close position (rear position) to the separation position (front position). This will be described with reference to FIG.

(Rear position)
In FIG. 17, the first part 311, the second part 312, the third part 313, and the sublink 500 in the rear position are indicated by a line segment RS, a line segment PQ, a line segment EJ, and a line segment EF.

  As shown in FIG. 12, at the rear position, the tip of the second part 312 (point Q) and the tip of the third part 313 (point J) are close to each other, and a gap (viewed from the player side) between them. There is no gap). Thereby, the player cannot visually recognize the second movable part 320 behind the second part 312 and the third part 313 through the gap.

  Further, as described above, in the rear position (proximity position), in the first part 311, the second part 312, and the third part 313, the adjacent parts are close to each other. Together, a demon face is formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 17, at the rear position, the sub link 500 is in a state of falling backward. For this reason, the 2nd movable part 320 is also in the state which fell backward. However, since the third part 313 is attached to the sub link 500 by being inclined forward by a predetermined angle (the angle is indicated by δ in FIG. 17), the surface of the third part 313 is substantially forward (front). Directed to.

(Rear position to front position)
As shown in FIG. 17, when the main link 400 rotates counterclockwise about the shaft member 211 (fulcrum A) and moves from the rear position toward the front position, the shaft member 216 (fulcrum F) becomes a long hole. While moving along 431, force is received from the edge of the slot 431. As a result, the sub link 500 rotates clockwise around the shaft member 215 (fulcrum E), and eventually the sub link 500 rises substantially vertically. The rotation angle of the sub link 500 is indicated by “γ” in FIG.

  The third part 313 and the second movable part 320 also rotate together with the sub link 500. As described above, since the third part 313 is attached to the sub link 500 at a predetermined angle, the third part 313 falls forward and its surface is directed downward.

  In FIG. 17, the first part 311, the second part 312, the third part 313, and the sublink 500 at the front position are represented by a line segment R ′S ′, a line segment P′Q ′, a line segment EJ ′, And it shows with line segment EF '.

  In the front position, the first part 311 and the second part 312 are separated (described above). Further, the second part 312 and the third part 313 are separated, and a large gap is formed between the tip of the second part 312 (point Q ′) and the tip of the third part 313 (point J ′). Occurs. In this embodiment, a gap of about 80 mm occurs. This corresponds to the vertical size of the second movable part 320 (described above).

  Since the sub link 500 rises substantially vertically, the second movable portion 320 also rises and moves to a position where the gap is generated (front position). Thereby, the player can visually recognize the second movable portion 320 through the gap generated between the second part 312 and the third part 313.

(Relationship between the second movable portion 320 and the second part 312 in the rear position to the front position)
In this embodiment, the second part 312 in the proximity position is arranged at the position where the second movable unit 320 rises, that is, the front position.

  Therefore, as in the prior art, it is conceivable that the second movable part 320 is raised in a place where the second part 312 is separated and vacated, but then the second part 312 and the third part are considered. When the second part 312 and the second movable part 320 change relatively so that the player visually recognizes the second movable part 320 that has risen after a while, and the player visually recognizes through the gap. The speed of the game is slow and does not increase the interest of the player.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, as described above, the length of the line segment EF is made longer than the length of the line segment AF. Accordingly, the rotation speed of the second part 312 that rotates integrally with the main link 400 is slightly higher than the rotation speed of the second movable portion 320 that rotates integrally with the sub link 500. Is done.

  With this configuration, even if the rising operation (forward movement) of the second movable unit 320 and the operation (forward movement) of separating the second part 312 are performed at the same time, the sublink 500 is more than the second part 312. Because they are behind and move slowly forward, they do not interfere with each other. Since the forward movement is performed at the same time, the second movable unit 320 stands up immediately after the gap is generated between the second part 312 and the third part 313, and the player passes through the gap through the second movable unit 320. In order to visually recognize, the speed when the second part 312 and the second movable part 320 change relatively becomes abrupt (rapid change), and it becomes possible to enhance the interest of the player.

(Front position to rear position)
As shown in FIG. 17, when the main link 400 rotates clockwise about the shaft member 211 (fulcrum A) and moves from the front position toward the rear position, the shaft member 216 (fulcrum F) is elongated. The force is received from the edge of the long hole 431 while moving along. As a result, the sub link 500 rotates counterclockwise around the shaft member 215 (fulcrum E), and eventually the sub link 500 falls back.

  The third part 313 and the second movable part 320 also rotate together with the sub link 500. Since the sub link 500 falls back, the second movable part 320 also moves to the rear position where it falls back. As described above, the third part 313 is attached to the sub link 500 at a predetermined angle, so that the third part 313 rises substantially upward and its surface is directed substantially forward.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the first part 311 and the second part 312 are brought close to each other by the backward movement of the main link 400. Their faces are mostly directed forward. The first part 311, the second part 312, and the third part 313 are adjacent to each other and are united to form a demon plane. The gap between the second part 312 and the third part 313 is also closed. The player cannot visually recognize the second movable part 320 through the gap.

(Relationship between the second movable portion 320 and the second part 312 in the front position to the rear position)
As described above, the rotation speed of the second part 312 rotated integrally with the main link 400 is slightly higher than the rotation speed of the second movable part 320 rotated integrally with the sub link 500. Configured as follows.

  With this configuration, when the operation of moving the second movable portion 320 backward (rearward movement) and the operation of moving the second part 312 closer (rearward movement) are performed simultaneously, the second part having a high rotation speed. It seems that 312 catches up with the second movable part 320 having a slow rotation speed and interferes therewith.

  However, before the second part 312 moves to the rear position, the second movable portion 320 has moved from the rising position (front position), and therefore does not interfere. Since the backward movement is performed at the same time, the second movable part 320 falls backward immediately before the gap is closed between the second part 312 and the third part 313, and the player passes the second movable part through the gap. Since 320 cannot be visually recognized, the speed when the second part 312 and the second movable part 320 change relatively becomes rapid (rapid change), and it becomes possible to enhance the interest of the player.

(First power transmission mechanism)
Next, a first power transmission mechanism for transmitting power to the main link 400 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the first power transmission mechanism includes a motor 202, a pinion 203, and a sector gear 204.

  The motor 202 is fixed to the base 201. The motor 202 corresponds to the “first power source”. The pinion 203 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 202 via a reduction gear (not shown). The sector gear 204 is fixed to the main link 400. The sector gear 204 is meshed with the pinion 203. As described above, the distal end portion of the sub link 500 is connected to the elongated hole 431 of the branch portion 430 formed integrally with the main link 400 via the shaft member 216 (fulcrum F).

  The sector gear 204 has a detected piece 204a. The optical sensor 205 is arranged on the rotation locus of the detected piece 204a of the sector gear 204. The optical sensor 205 includes a light emitting element and a light receiving element in which an optical path of detection light is formed therebetween. When the optical path is blocked by the detected piece 204a, the control unit (not shown) determines that the sector gear 204 (first movable portion 310) is in the close position based on the signal from the light receiving element, and the optical path is detected by the detected piece 204a. When not blocked by the control unit, the control unit determines that the sector gear 204 (first movable unit 310) is at the separation position based on the signal from the light receiving element.

  With the above configuration, the power from the motor 202 is configured to be transmitted to the sub link 500 via the main link 400.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 15, when the motor 202 rotates in the forward direction, the sector gear 204 is rotated about the shaft member 211 (fulcrum A) via the pinion 203. Thereby, the main link 400 is rotated clockwise. Thereby, the first part 311 and the second part 312 are moved in proximity. Further, the sub link 500 is rotated counterclockwise around the shaft member 215 (fulcrum E). As a result, the third part 313 and the second movable part 320 are rotated counterclockwise, the third part 313 is moved closer, and the second movable part 320 is moved to the rear position.

  When the motor 202 rotates in the reverse direction, the sector gear 204 is rotated around the shaft member 211 (fulcrum A) via the pinion 203. Thereby, the main link 400 is rotated counterclockwise. Thereby, the first part 311 and the second part 312 are separated. Further, the sub link 500 is rotated clockwise around the shaft member 215 (fulcrum E). As a result, the third part 313 and the second movable part 320 are rotated clockwise, the third part 313 is separated, and the second movable part 320 is moved to the front position.

(Attaching the third movable part 330)
Next, attachment of the third movable part 330 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  18 is a front view of the second movable portion 320 when the third movable portion 330 is in the closed position, and FIG. 19 is a front view of the second movable portion 320 when the third movable portion 330 is in the open position. 20 is a left side view of the third movable part 330 in the open position, the fourth movable part 340 in the upward position, and a mechanism for interlocking them, and FIG. 21 is the third movable part 330 in the closed position, facing forward. FIG. 22 is a left side view of the fourth movable portion 340 in the position and a mechanism for interlocking them, FIG. 22 is a rear view when the third movable portion 330 and the like shown in FIG. FIG. 24 is a rear view of the third movable part 330 and the like shown in FIG. 21 as viewed from the left (back), and FIG. 24 is a schematic diagram of the third movable part 330 in the closed position and the fourth movable part 340 in the forward position. FIG. 25 shows the third movable part 3 in the open position. At 0 and the upward position is a schematic diagram of such a fourth movable section 340.

  18, 21, and 23 show a state in which the mouth of the dharma is closed by the lower jaw-shaped third movable portion 330, and FIGS. 19, 20, and 22 show the lower jaw-shaped third movable portion 330. Shows a state where the mouth of Dharma is opened. Furthermore, in FIG. 24 and FIG. 25, the 2nd movable part 320, the 3rd movable part 330, the 4th movable part 340, the 1st arm 610, and the 2nd arm 620 are shown by a line segment.

  As shown in FIGS. 18, 21, 23, 24, and 25, the first arm 610 has a substantially horizontal axis (fulcrum M shown in FIG. 24) in the sublink 500 to which the second movable portion 320 is fixed. It is supported so as to be rotatable around. The first arm 610 has an end portion 610a extending obliquely downward from a substantially horizontal axis position, a second end portion 610b extending substantially upward from a substantially horizontal axis position, and a substantially horizontal axis position. A passive end 610c that extends rearward and receives power from the solenoid 630. A horizontal axis (axis K shown in FIG. 24) is fixed to the tip of the passive end 610c.

  A third movable portion 330 having a lower jaw shape of Dharma is fixed to one end portion 610 a of the first arm 610. Therefore, the third movable portion 330 is closed (see FIGS. 21, 23 and 24) and opened (see FIGS. 20, 22 and 25) around the horizontal axis (fulcrum M) via the first arm 610. ) And is supported so as to be rotatable.

(Attaching the fourth movable part 340)
Next, attachment of the fourth movable portion 340 will be described with reference to FIGS.

  As shown in FIGS. 18 to 25, the second arm 620 is supported on the back member of the second movable portion 320 so as to be rotatable about a substantially horizontal axis (fulcrum N shown in FIG. 24). And the 2nd arm 620 is urged | biased to the clockwise direction by the winding spring (illustration omitted). The second arm 620 has a contact piece 621. As a result, if no external force is applied to the second arm 620, the second arm 620 is biased by the biased force from the upward position (see FIGS. 20, 22, and 25) to the forward position (FIGS. 21, 23, and 25). (See FIG. 24).

  A fourth movable portion 340 having a Dharma eyeball shape is fixed to the second arm 620. In the embodiment, the second arm 620 and the fourth movable portion 340 are integrally formed, and the fourth movable portion 340 is formed in a hemispherical shape (a front half of a sphere) and has a circumferential shape. The edge is arranged substantially rearward (Y2 direction in FIG. 24), and the second arm 620 extends in the form of a tongue piece substantially rearward from the lower part of the circumferential edge.

  When the fourth movable part 340 is in the forward position, when the second arm 620 is rotated counterclockwise about the substantially horizontal axis (fulcrum N), the fourth movable part 340 is rotated to the upward position. .

[Interlocking mechanism 600A, etc.]
Next, an interlocking mechanism 600A that interlocks the third movable part 330 and the fourth movable part 340, and a mechanism that transmits power to any one of the third movable part 330 and the fourth movable part 340 will be described with reference to FIGS. Will be described with reference to FIG.

  The interlocking mechanism 600A moves the third movable part 330 from the closed position to the open position, rotates the fourth movable part 340 from the forward position to the upward position, and moves the third movable part 330 from the open position to the closed position. And the fourth movable part 340 is configured to rotate from the upward position to the forward position.

  Here, when describing the positions of the members constituting the third movable portion 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600A, the positions of the respective members when the third movable portion 330 is in the closed position may be referred to as “closed positions”. Furthermore, the position of each member when the third movable portion 330 is in the open position may be referred to as “open position” (see FIG. 24).

  Furthermore, in principle, the “forward position” and the “upward position” are used in the description of the fourth movable part 340, and the “closed position”, in the description of the components of the third movable part 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600 A, “Open position” is used. However, when the constituent members of the third movable part 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600A are in the “closed position”, the fourth movable part 340 is in the “forward position”. In some cases, the four movable parts 340 are used for explanation, and the “forward-facing position” may be used for explanations of the components of the third movable part 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600A.

  Similarly, when the constituent members of the third movable portion 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600A are in the “open position”, the fourth movable portion 340 is in the “upward position”. The “upward position” may be used for the description of the fourth movable portion 340 and the components of the third movable portion 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600A at this time.

  In the constituent members of the third movable portion 330 and the interlocking mechanism 600A, the operation when rotating from the “close position” to the “open position” may be referred to as “open operation”. Furthermore, an operation when the “open position” is turned to the “close position” may be referred to as a “close operation”.

  As shown in FIGS. 18-25, it has the solenoid 630 as a 2nd power source. The solenoid 630 includes a cylinder rod 631 (see FIG. 24) provided so as to be able to protrude and retract from the main body thereof, and a compression spring (not shown), and a direction in which the cylinder rod 631 projects by the compression spring (downward in FIG. 24). When the power is supplied, the cylinder rod 631 is configured to be immersed against the biased force.

  The sub link 500 is provided with a slider 640 that can be guided in a substantially vertical direction. The slider 640 has a guide portion (not shown). A horizontal axis (axis K) is fitted to the guide part so as to be movable in the front-rear direction. When the slider 640 is moved upward (Z1 direction), the horizontal axis (axis K) is moved upward while being moved forward (Y1 direction) with respect to the guide portion, whereby the first arm 610 is moved as shown in FIG. 24, when the slider 640 is rotated clockwise (Z2 direction), the horizontal axis (axis K) is moved rearward (Y2 direction) while moving downward with respect to the guide portion. By being moved, the first arm 610 is configured to be rotated counterclockwise in FIGS. 21 and 24. The slider 640 fixed to the cylinder rod 631 is urged downward (Z2 direction) by a compression spring (not shown).

  The solenoid 630 moves the slider 640 upward against the biased force when the cylinder rod 631 is immersed when power is supplied (see FIG. 20), and is attached when power is not supplied. The cylinder rod 631 is projected by the force to move the slider 640 downward (see FIG. 21).

  The second arm 620 is arranged on the rotation locus of the other end 610b of the first arm 610. The second arm 620 is configured to be interlocked with the first arm 610 by contacting the second arm 620 with the other end 610 b of the first arm 610.
