  Below the image display device 5, a rendering device 200 is disposed. The rendering device 200 can perform rendering by operating independently or in accordance with various rendering images such as variable display of identification information.

  In the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, a main board 11, a presentation control board 12, a voice control board 13, a lamp control board 14, a relay board 15 and the like as shown in FIG. 2 are mounted.

  The main board 11 is a control board on the main side, and the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 (execution of a special drawing game and a common drawing game, management of various start winnings and various holding memories, a big hit lottery and a common drawing lottery) It has a function of controlling execution, control of a big hit gaming state, transmission of a production control command to the production control board 12, and the like, and a function of sending a production control command to the production control board 12. The main board 11 has a game control microcomputer 100, a switch circuit 110, a solenoid circuit 111, and the like.

  The game control microcomputer 100 mounted on the main substrate 11 is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, and has a ROM (Read Only Memory) 101, a RAM (Random Access Memory) 102, and a CPU (Central Processing Unit) 103. , A random number circuit 104, and an I / O (Input / Output port) 105.

  As an example, the CPU 103 executes a program stored in the ROM 101 to realize the function of the main substrate 11 (control of the progress of the game). At this time, various data (data such as variation patterns, effect control commands, various tables, etc.) stored in the ROM 101 are used, and the RAM 102 is used as a main memory.

  The random number circuit 104 is capable of updating numerical data indicating various random number values (game random numbers) used when controlling the progress of the game. The gaming random numbers may be updated (updated by software) as the CPU 103 executes a predetermined computer program.

  The I / O 105 includes, for example, an input port to which various signals are input, and an output port for transmitting various signals.

  The CPU 103 uses the I / O 105 to display the first special symbol display device 4A, the second special symbol display device 4B, the ordinary symbol display device 20, the first hold indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, and the general drawing reserve display Outputs a signal for controlling (driving) the controller 25C and the like, and controls these.

  The switch circuit 110 detects detection signals (game media) from various switches (gate switch 21, start opening switch (first start opening switch 22A and second start opening switch 22B), count switch 23) for detecting game balls. A detection signal or the like indicating that the switch has been turned on is entered and transmitted to the game control microcomputer 100.

  The solenoid circuit 111 sends a solenoid drive signal (for example, a signal to turn on the solenoid 81 and the solenoid 82) from the game control microcomputer 100 to the solenoid 81 for the ordinary motorized role and the solenoid 82 for the big winning opening door. Transmit

  The effect control command transmitted from the main substrate 11 (microcomputer 100 for game control) to the effect control substrate 12 is relayed by the relay substrate 15.

  The effect control board 12 is a sub-side control board independent of the main board 11, receives the effect control command transmitted from the main board 11 via the relay board 15, and performs various operations based on the received effect control command. It has a function to execute the effect (including the display of the decorative symbol and the effect device).

  On the effect control board 12, a CPU 120 for effect control, a ROM 121, a RAM 122, a display control unit 123, a random number circuit 124, and an I / O 125 are mounted.

  As one example, the effect control CPU 120 executes a program stored in the ROM 121 to realize the function (execution of effect) of the effect control board 12. At this time, various data (data used for the effect control pattern and data such as various tables) stored in the ROM 121 are used, and the RAM 122 is used as a main memory.

  The display control unit 123 outputs a video signal of the effect image displayed on the image display device 5 based on the display control command from the effect control CPU 120, and displays the effect image on the image display device 5. As an example, the display control unit 123 may be equipped with a VDP (Video Display Processor), a CGROM (Character Generator ROM), a VRAM (Video RAM), and the like.

  The random number circuit 124 can countably update numerical data indicating various random number values (rendering effect random numbers) used when controlling the rendering operation.

  The rendering device 200 includes a drive mechanism 210 and a movable body 250, which are exchanged by the rendering control substrate 12 (rendering control CPU 120) by exchanging signals (control signals, detection signals, etc. described later) with the rendering control substrate 12. It is controlled.

(Progress of the game and progress of the production etc.)
A game medium (game ball) is fired toward the game area by the player's rotation operation to the ball hitting operation handle provided in the pachinko gaming machine 1.

(Progress of the game controlled by the main board 11)
When the game ball which has flowed down the game area passes the passage gate 41, a common drawing game (variable display of a normal symbol) is started. It should be noted that, when the standard drawing game can not be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as under open control described below when another common drawing game is already executed, the common drawing game is limited to four etc. Execution is suspended. The reserved regular game is executed when the start condition for starting the regular game (for example, no other regular game is being executed or the opening control is not performed). When the gaming ball passes through the passage gate 41 when the number of common drawing holding memory reaches the upper limit value, the number of common drawing holding memory does not increase, and the passing is invalidated.

  The variable display results stop-displayed in the common-play game include a per-common-pattern (for example, a common drawing such as "7") and a common-use lost symbol (for example, a common drawing such as "-"). . When the symbol is stopped and displayed (derived) per common drawing, it is when the variable display result is "per common drawing". In the case where the common drawing losing symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display result is "general drawing lost".

  In the case of "per common drawing", the open control (the second start winning opening is opened) in which the movable wing piece of the normally variable winning ball device 6B is in the tilting position for a predetermined period is performed. The open control is not performed in the case of "general drawing loss".

  When the gaming ball having flowed down the gaming area enters the first starting winning opening formed in the normal winning ball device 6A, the first special view game is started. In addition, when the gaming ball enters the second starting winning opening formed in the normally variable winning ball device 6B, the second special figure game is started. It should be noted that when the special figure game can not be started (when the start condition is not satisfied), such as when another special figure game is already being executed, or is controlled to the big hit gaming state described later The execution of the special drawing game is suspended with the upper limit etc. The reserved special drawing game is executed when a start condition for starting the special drawing game is established (for example, no other special drawing game is not executed and the jackpot gaming state is not in progress).

  When the game ball enters the first start winning opening when the first special view reserve memory number has reached the upper limit value, the first special figure reserve memory number does not increase, and the approach is invalidated ( There may be a prize ball). When the game ball enters the second start winning opening when the second special drawing reserve memory number has reached the upper limit value, the second special figure reserve memory number does not increase, and the approach is invalidated ( There may be a prize ball).

  The entry (winning) of the gaming ball to the first starting winning opening that increases the number of first special view holding memories is also referred to as the first starting winning. The entry (winning) of the gaming ball to the second starting winning opening that increases the second special view holding memory number is also referred to as the second starting winning. These winnings are collectively referred to simply as starting winnings.

  There are a big hit design (for example, special figures such as "3" and "7") and a lost design (for example, special figures such as "-") in the variable display result stopped and displayed in the special figure game. . When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "big hit". When the lost symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display result is "lost".

  When the variable display result of the first special view game or the second special view game is "big hit" (specific display result), the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous state advantageous to the player. When the variable display result is "losing", it is not controlled to the big hit gaming state.

  In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is in the open state. The open state is either the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or the timing at which the number of gaming balls entering the special winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, nine), whichever is earlier. It will be continued. Such an open state is called a round game (also simply referred to as a "round"). In the jackpot gaming state, the round game is repeatedly executed until the predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, “15 times”) is reached (in the period other than the round game, the big winning opening is closed).

  The "big hit" is set to a big hit type of "non-deterministic change" or "precise change". When the jackpot type is "non-deterministic change", the jackpot symbol of "3" is stopped and displayed. When the jackpot type is "probable", the jackpot symbol of "7" is stopped and displayed.

  In addition, "big hit" when the big hit type is "probable variation" may be referred to as "probably big hit", and "big hit" when the big hit type is "non-probable variation" may be referred to as "non-probable big hit". Moreover, the big hit gaming state based on the "probable big hit" may be referred to as the "probably big hit gaming state". Moreover, the big hit gaming state based on the "non-probable variation big hit" may be referred to as the "non-probability big hit gaming state".

  After the definite variation big hit gaming state ends, the probability that the variable display result will be a "big hit" (big hit probability) is controlled to a high probability state higher than the normal state. The definite change state continues until the next big hit gaming state is started.

  After the definite variation big hit gaming state or the non definite variation big hit gaming state ends, the average variable display time (variable display period) is controlled to a short time state that becomes shorter than the normal state. In the time saving state, one of the ending conditions of the special figure game being executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) and the start of the next big hit gaming state is established first. Continue until you do.

  In the time saving state, the game ball can enter the second start winning opening more easily than the non-time saving state in which the time saving state such as the normal state is short, normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened and closed And may be changed. For example, control to make the variation time of a normal symbol in a regular game (the period of variable display of a regular pattern, also referred to as a regular variation time), shorter than in the normal state, or variable display in each regular game It is sufficient to change the normally variable winning ball device 6B between the open state and the closed state in a favorable change mode by control or the like that improves the probability that the result is “per common” than in the normal state. Such control is referred to as high open control (also referred to as "time-saving control" or "high base control"). By being controlled to such a short time state, the time required for the next variable display result to be "big hit" is shortened, and the gaming state becomes more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

  Note that the normal state is a gaming state other than the advantageous state for the player such as an advantageous state such as a big hit gaming state, a time saving state, or a probability change state, and the variable display result in the common drawing game is The pachinko gaming machine 1 such as the probability of being hit and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game is a "big hit" is the initial setting state of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (e.g. It is a state controlled in the same way as when the predetermined return processing is not executed after the closing.

  The short time state is also referred to as "high base" and the like, and the gaming state not in the short time state is also referred to as "low base" or "non-short time state". A definite change state is said to be "high certainty" or the like, and a gaming state not definite change state is also referred to as "low certainty", "non-deterministic change" or the like.

(Progress of the game controlled by the effect control board 12)
The "left", "middle" and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R provided in the image display device 5 correspond to the start of the first special view game or the second special view game The variable display (also a kind of effect) of decorative design is started. At the timing when the variable display result (also referred to as finalized special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special view game and the second special view game, the finalized decorative symbol (variable display result) that is the display result (variable display result) of the decorative symbol The combination of the three decorative designs is also displayed on the stop display (derivative display).

  The variable display mode of the decorative symbol may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established) in a period from when the variable symbol display of the decorative symbol is started to when the variable symbol is displayed. Here, the reach mode refers to a decorative pattern ("reach variation not displayed yet when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later. The symbol “also referred to as a symbol” refers to a display mode in which the variation continues.

  Further, in this embodiment, the reach effect is performed in response to the reach mode being set during the variable display. As reach effects, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B, which have different presentation modes, are prepared. In this embodiment, the jackpot expectation is high in the order of super reach B> super reach A> normal reach.

  The jackpot expectation is, for example, a ratio at which the variable display result of the special figure game is a "big hit", and here, it is also a ratio at which the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is a "big hit".

  When the variable display result of the special view game is "big hit", a finalized decoration pattern to be a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed on the screen of the image display device 5 as the display result of the variable display of the decoration pattern. (The display result of the variable display of the decorative design is "big hit"). As an example, "left", "middle", "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, 5R on the predetermined effective line in the same decorative symbol (for example, when the probability variation big hit "7", non-probability variation big hit At the same time, "6" etc.) are aligned and stopped.

  When the variable display result is "loss", the fixed display pattern of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern without the variable display mode of the decorative pattern being the reach mode. There is. In addition, when the variable display result is "loss", after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, a predetermined reach combination which is not a big hit combination as a display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern ("reach lost combination combination The finalized decorative pattern may also be stopped and displayed.

  At the time of execution of the super reach, an effect using the effect device 200 is performed (details will be described later).

(Rendering device 200)
Next, the details of the rendering device 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the direction in which the player is located is taken as the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the opposite direction is taken as the rear (see FIG. 4 etc.). Further, the vertical and horizontal directions viewed from the player located in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described as it is defined as the vertical and horizontal directions of the rendering device 200 (see FIGS. 3, 4 etc.). Moreover, each member which comprises the presentation apparatus 200 is formed with a synthetic resin or a metal, unless there is particular mention. Moreover, the attachment regarding each member may be performed by an appropriate method such as attachment using a screw, a screw or the like, attachment such as fitting, etc. unless otherwise stated.

  As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the rendering device 200 includes a drive mechanism 210 and a movable body 250. The drive mechanism 210 moves the movable body 250 in the vertical direction. The movable body 250 is provided with a decoration specific to the pachinko gaming machine 1, and such a decoration can enhance the rendering effect. The movable body 250 can be moved upward from the initial position (FIG. 3A) by the drive mechanism 210 and advanced to the advanced position (FIG. 3B) (return from the advanced position to the initial position) Can do too). In the initial position of the movable body 250, most of the movable body 250 is located behind a transparent resin cover (not shown) (attached to the game board 2 or the like), and the movable body 250 is the resin cover Be visible through. On the other hand, the movable body 250 is advanced to the front of the image display device 5 by moving to the advanced position, and is visually recognized without the resin cover. The game board 2 may be transparent, and the movable body 250 may be located behind the game board 2 at least at the initial position and viewed through the game board 2.

(Structure of Drive Mechanism 210, etc.)
First, the drive mechanism 210 will be described with reference to FIGS. The drive mechanism 210 includes a base body 211, a drive motor attachment member 213, a drive motor 215, first to sixth gears 217 to 222, a detection sensor 223, a rotating arm 225, a slide member 227, an elastic body 229, etc. , See Figure 5).

  The base body 211 is a base of the drive mechanism 210 and supports various components. The base body 211 is fixed to the game board 2 or the like of the pachinko gaming machine 1. A cover CV (shown only in FIG. 3), which covers the drive motor 215 and the like from the front and hides from the player, is attached to the base body 211. The base body 211 includes supports 211A to 211F, a concave rail 211J, a guide hole 211K, and a hooking portion 211L.

  The supports 211A to 211F are formed of bosses or the like in a cylindrical shape (may be cylindrical, hereinafter the same may be appropriately applied to the cylindrical shape) protruding forward. The second to seventh gears 218 to 222 are rotatably supported by the supports 211A to 211E, respectively. Each gear has a through hole at its center, and is rotatably supported by inserting a support into the through hole. Each gear can rotate about the central axis of each support as a rotational axis. The support 211F rotatably supports a rotating arm 225 (described in detail later).

  The concave rail 211J is a rail having a U-shaped cross section (a vertical line is a bottom surface), and extends in the vertical direction. The rack 251 provided in the movable body 250 is slidably fitted to the concave rail 211J in the vertical direction. The concave rail 211J guides the direction of the movement of the rack 251 (that is, the movement of the movable body 250) in the vertical direction.

  The guide hole 211 K is a through hole extending along the vertical direction, and is provided in a portion to which the slide member 227 is attached. The slide member 227 is provided with a protrusion (not shown) extending rearward, and the protrusion is inserted into the guide hole 211K. In addition, a retaining member (not shown) larger than the width (length in the left-right direction) of the guide hole 211K is attached to the rear end of the protrusion. Thus, the slide member 227 is attached to the base body 211 so as not to move in the forward direction (do not come off the base body 211) and to be movable in the vertical direction (guided by the guide hole 211K).

  The hooking portion 211L is a protrusion having a notch, and one end of an elastic body 229 is hooked on the notch.

  The drive motor 215 is attached to the base body 211 via the drive motor attachment member 213. The drive motor 215 has a rotating shaft 215A. The drive motor 215 is a stepping motor here, and its operation is controlled by the effect control board 12 (FIG. 2). The drive motor 215 rotates the rotation shaft 215A (FIG. 5) by a predetermined angle in synchronization with a control signal (here, a drive pulse) from the effect control board 12. The first gear 217 is fitted to the rotation shaft 215A. Therefore, the first gear 217 rotates with the rotation shaft 215A. The first gear 217 meshes with the second gear 218.

  The third gear 219 has a cylindrical portion 219A in which a part of the inside is hollowed out, and an external gear 219B disposed to the rear of the cylindrical portion 219A. The external gear 219 </ b> B meshes with the second gear 218. Further, the third gear 221 has a detection piece 219C having an arc-like outer edge, which protrudes from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 219A, and a cylindrical protrusion which protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 219A And 219D.

  The detection piece 219 </ b> C rotates with the third gear 219 and is detected by the detection sensor 223 attached to the base body 211. The detection sensor 223 is, for example, a photo sensor (a sensor that detects that the space between the light receiving unit and the light emitting unit is shielded by the detection target), and is a detection that indicates detection when detecting the detection piece 219C. Output a signal. As will be described later, in this embodiment, the movable body 250 moves to the advanced position in conjunction with the rotation of the third gear 219. The detection piece 219C is disposed at a position detected by the detection sensor 223 when the rotary gear 219C rotates until the movable body 250 is positioned at the advanced position.

  The fourth gear 220 has a shape in which a first gear (not shown) having a small diameter and a second gear having a large diameter are stacked in two with the rotation axis in common. The first gear is positioned rearward of the second gear and meshes with the fifth gear 221. The second gear meshes with the teeth of the rack 251 provided in the movable body 250. The fifth gear 221 and the sixth gear 222 mesh with the linear teeth 227A of the slide member 227.

  The rotating arm 225 has a fan shape. The rotating arm 225 includes an elongated hole 225A into which a cylindrical protrusion 252A of the movable body 250 is inserted, a long hole 225B into which the protrusion 219D is inserted, and a through hole 225C into which the support 211F is inserted. Prepare. The through hole 225 </ b> C is located at the center of a circle forming a fan which is the shape of the rotating arm 225. The rotating arm 225 is rotatably attached to the base body 211 with the central axis of the support 211C as the rotation axis. The long hole 225A is disposed on a first oblique side (a side defined by the radius of the circle) of the fan, and is elongated in a direction in which the first oblique side extends. The long hole 225B is disposed on the second oblique side of the fan, and is long in the direction in which the second oblique side extends. The width (length in the short direction) of the long hole 225A is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusion 252A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The width of the long hole 225B is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusion 219D (the diameter is slightly shorter).

  The slide member 227 includes linear teeth 227A (extending in the vertical direction) meshing with the fifth gear 221 and the sixth gear 222, and functions as a rack in which the fifth gear 221 and the sixth gear 222 function as a pinion. In addition, the slide member 227 includes a hooking portion 227B having a notch in the lower portion (below the hooking portion 227B of the slide member 227), and the other end of the elastic body 229 is hooked. As described above, the slide member 227 is movable (slidable) in the vertical direction with respect to the base body 211. As described above, the fifth gear 221 meshes with the fourth gear 220 and the teeth 227A of the slide member 227, and the fourth gear 220 (pinion) meshes with the teeth of the rack 251 provided in the movable body 250. ing. Accordingly, the slide member 227 is interlocked with the movable body 250. Specifically, when the slide member 227 moves upward, the movable body 250 also moves upward (see FIG. 3 and the like). The sixth gear 222 guides the slide member 227 so that the slide member 227 does not tilt.

  The elastic body 229 includes a coil spring, rubber, and the like. One end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the hooking portion 211L of the base body 211, and the other end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the hooking portion 227B of the slide member 227. The elastic body 229 is in an extended state when the slide member 227 is located at the lowermost position (in the state of FIG. 3A or in the state of FIG. 5 to FIG. 4). That is, the slide member 227 is biased upward by the elastic force of the elastic body 229 (receiving an upward force). Since the slide member 227 and the movable body 250 are interlocked as described above, the movable body 250 is also urged upward by the elastic force of the elastic body 229. That is, the elastic body 229 assists the upward movement of the movable body 250.

(Operation of drive mechanism 210, etc.)
When the drive motor 215 rotates the rotation shaft 215A forward (leftward rotation), the first gear 217 also rotates forward. Since the second gear 218 meshes with the first gear 217 and the second gear 218 meshes with the third gear 219, the second gear 218 rotates in the reverse direction (right rotation) when the rotary shaft 215A rotates forward. And the third gear 219 rotates forward. The forward rotation of the third gear 219 causes the protrusion 219D to move in a circular arc. The protrusion 219D pushes the inner wall of the long hole 225B as it moves. Thereby, the rotation arm 225 rotates upward (counterclockwise) around the support 211F. The rotation of the rotating arm 225 moves the protrusion 252A provided on the movable body 250 inserted in the long hole 225A upward. Thereby, the movable body 250 moves upward (advanced position). When the drive motor 215 reverses the rotation shaft 215A, the movable body 250 moves downward (initial position) (the rotation directions of the respective gears may be considered to be reverse). Thus, the drive mechanism 210 converts the rotational force of the drive motor 215 into a drive force for moving the movable body 250 in the vertical direction. As described above, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. In addition, the elastic body 229 serves as a resistance to the movable body 250 moving downward. As a result, the load on the drive motor 215 due to the weight of the movable body 250 can be reduced, and the vertical movement of the movable body 250 can be made smooth.

  When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off, the movable body 250 may be stopped at the advanced position. Thus, the period of time in which the elastic body 229 is stretched can be shortened, and the elastic force of the elastic body can be reduced as time passes.

  In addition, moving the movable body 250 in the vertical direction is performed under the control of the effect control board 12 (the CPU 120 for effect control). Specifically, when moving the movable body 250 from the initial position to the advanced position, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 215 to rotate the rotation shaft 215A, and the detection sensor 223 detects the detection piece 219C. (When the detection signal is received from the detection sensor 223 or when the detection signal is received for a predetermined period), that is, when the movable body 250 moves to the advanced position, the rotation of the rotation shaft 215A is stopped. Thereby, the movable body 250 can be stopped at the advanced position. When the movable body 250 is returned from the advanced position to the initial position, the movable angle of the drive motor 215 is the same as the rotation angle when moving from the initial position to the advanced position (for example, the information is held in the RAM 122). The rotation shaft 215A is reversely rotated. For example, the number of supplied drive pulses is counted, and the rotation shaft 215A is reversely rotated by supplying the same number of drive pulses in reverse rotation. A detection sensor (the same sensor as the detection sensor 223, for example, a photo sensor) is provided corresponding to the position of the detection piece 219C when the movable body 250 is at the initial position, and the detection piece 219C is detected by the detection sensor. When it is detected, the reverse rotation of the rotation shaft 215A may be stopped.

(Structure of movable body 250, etc.)
Next, the structural details of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIGS. The movable body 250 has a heart-shaped decorative body 269 and a member provided in front of the heart-shaped decorative body 269.

(Configurations other than the predetermined mechanism X in the movable body 250)
First, the configuration other than the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS.

  The rack 251 has vertically extending teeth that mesh with the fourth gear 220 (eg, FIG. 5). As understood from the above, the rack 251 is urged upward by the elastic body 229 (FIG. 5 and the like) via the fourth gear 220 and the like.

  The plate member 252 is integrally formed with the rack 251. The plate-like member 252 has a cylindrical protrusion 252A that protrudes rearward from the plate-like main body.

  The board 253 is a circuit board having a predetermined circuit and electrically connected to the effect control board 12.

The LED substrate 256 is electrically connected to the substrate 253, and various circuits, and LEDs 256A and connectors 256C for emitting light are mounted on the substrate body 256B. In addition, you may employ | adopt other light sources other than LED256A as a light source. The LED board 256 causes the LED 256A to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control board 12 relayed by the board 253. The top of the decorative body 269 is illuminated by the light emission of the LED 256A. Since the decorative body 269 can transmit light, the upper part appears to emit light by the light from the LED 256A. The details of the LED substrate 256 will be described later.

  The drive motor 257 is attached to the front of the base body 255. The rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 extends through the through hole provided in the base body 255 to the rear of the base body 255. The drive motor 257 operates in accordance with a control signal (such as a drive pulse) from the effect control board 12.

  The detection sensor 259 is attached to the front of the base body 255. The detection target etc. of the detection sensor 259 will be described later (used in the predetermined mechanism X). Like the detection sensor 223, the detection sensor 259 may be a photo sensor or the like.

When a force is applied to the decorative body 269 so as to compress in the left and right direction, the notches 269H and 269I close the notched portions. Thereby, the decorative body 269 is easily deformed by the compression force from the left and right direction. The decorative body 269 accommodates the base body 255 and the like in its interior. Therefore, the size of the configuration for operating the movable body 250 is made compact.

(Operation for deformation of the decoration 269)
When the drive motor 257 rotates the rotation shaft 257A forward (rightward rotation), the first gear 261 also rotates forward. The second gear 262 and the third gear 263 are in mesh with the first gear 261, and the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 rotate in the reverse direction (left rotation) when the rotating shaft 257A rotates forward. Here, the protrusion 262A of the second gear 262 is provided on the upper portion of the second gear 262, while the protrusion 263A of the second gear 263 is provided on the lower portion of the second gear 263. ing. Therefore, when the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 reversely rotate, the protrusion 262A moves to the left, and the protrusion 263A moves to the right. That is, the protrusions 262A and the protrusions 263A move in directions away from each other by being at the target position with reference to the rotation axis of each gear. The protrusion 262A moving leftward pushes the inner wall of the long hole 265A of the first slide member 265, and slides the first slide member 265 to the left (the first attachment member 267 also moves together). The protrusion 263A moving to the right pushes the inner wall of the long hole 266A of the second slide member 266 and slides the second slide member 266 to the right (the second attachment member 268 also moves together). Thus, the first slide member 265 (and the first attachment member 267) and the second slide member 266 (and the second attachment member 268) move in the direction away from each other along the left-right direction.

  When the drive motor 257 reversely rotates the rotation shaft 257A, the operation in the reverse direction is performed, and the first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 It moves in the direction to approach each other along the left and right direction.

  Since the first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267 are connected in a state in which the left end of the decorative body 269 is sandwiched, the left end moves to the left and right along with the movement of these left and right. Since the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 are connected in a state in which the right end of the decorative body 269 is sandwiched, the right end is also moved to the left and right with the movement of the left and right. Therefore, when the drive motor 257 rotates the rotation shaft 257A forward, the decoration 269 elastically deforms so as to be pulled from both left and right (refer to the figure particularly on the left side of FIG. 12B). Then, the decorative body 269 elastically deforms as if it is pressed from both the left and right (refer to particularly the left side of FIG. 12C). As described above, a substantially triangular notch 269H and a notch 269I are formed in the upper portion of the attachment portion 269E of the decorative body 269. Thus, when the decorative body 269 is pressed and compressed from both left and right, the substantially triangular notch is closed, and the decorative body 269 is easily deformed.

  As described above, the drive motor 257 is controlled by the effect control board 12. The effect control board 12 repeats the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the rotating shaft 257A by supplying a control signal to the drive motor 257. Then, the decorative body 269 repeats repeating elastic deformation so as to be pulled to the left and right and elastic deformation so as to be pressed from the left and the right. Thus, the heart-shaped decoration 269 appears to be beating like a heart (see FIGS. 12 and 16). The effect control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is at the initial position (that is, that the decorative body 269 is in the initial state (state of FIG. 12A)) by the detection sensor S. The effect control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is in the initial position when receiving the detection signal from the detection sensor S (or when receiving the signal for a predetermined period). A detection sensor is provided at the position of the detection piece 266D when the second slide member 266 is at the position of FIG. 12 (B) or (C), and the movable body 250 is in the state of FIG. 12 (B) or (C). It is also possible to detect that there is, and control the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 based on this detection.

(Structure of predetermined mechanism X, etc.)
Next, the detailed structure of the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS. The predetermined mechanism X includes a cover 271, a drive motor 273, an LED substrate 275, a cover 277, first to fourth character members 281 to 284 and a driving force transmission mechanism X1 (see FIG. 8). ).

  The cover body 271 covers the base body 255 from the front by being attached from the front to the base body 255 to which the driving force transmission mechanism X1 and the like are attached. The cover body 271 has through holes 271A to 271B (these applications and the like will be described later). Further, the LED substrate 256 is inserted into the upper portion of the cover body 271, and a plurality of insertion portions 271C for fixing the LED substrate 256 are formed.

  The drive motor 273 is attached to the front of the cover body 271. The rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 extends to the rear of the cover body 271 through a through hole provided in the cover body 271. The drive motor 273 operates in accordance with a control signal (such as a drive pulse) from the effect control board 12.

  The LED substrate 275 is electrically connected to the substrate 253. The LED substrate 275 mounts various circuits and an LED 275A that emits light forward (decoration body 269). In addition, you may use other light sources other than LED275A. The LED substrate 275 causes the LED 275A to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control substrate 12 relayed by the substrate 253. The decoration 269 is illuminated by the light emission of the LED 275A (the irradiation of light from the LED 275A). Since the decorative body 269 can transmit light, it looks emitted by such illumination. The LED substrate 275 has a large notch 275B extending from the top to the center. Note that the manner of light emission is seen to change due to the elastic deformation of the decorative body 269. This point will be described later.

  The cover 277 has through holes 277A and 277B (these applications and the like will be described later). The cover 277 covers the LED substrate 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the front of the drive motor 273 and is interposed between them and the decoration 269. Also, the cover 277 covers the upper side of the LED substrate 256. Since the cover 277 is made of a translucent synthetic resin, light from the LED 275 A mounted on the LED substrate 275 passes through the cover 277 and illuminates the front surface of the decorative body 269. Furthermore, the light from the LED 256 A mounted on the LED substrate 256 passes through the cover 277 to illuminate the top of the decoration 269. The cover 277 prevents the decorative body 269 from contacting the LED substrate 256, the LED substrate 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the drive motor 273. Thus, the heat generated from these electronic components can be transmitted to the decorative body 269, and damage to the decorative body 269 can be suppressed. Furthermore, contact between the electronic component and the decorative body 269 is prevented, and breakage of the electronic component is prevented. The cover 277 is attached to the cover 271 via the LED substrate 275. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a through hole communicating when the cover body 277 and the LED substrate 275 overlap each other is provided, and the through hole is screwed to the cover body 271 through a screw, a screw or the like. The cover 277 and the LED substrate 275 are attached to the cover 271. In addition, at the time of this attachment, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6) and the drive motor 273 pass through the inside of the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275.

  The first character member 281 is a member expressing the letter “L”, the second character member 282 is a member expressing the letter “O”, and the third character member 283 is a letter “V” The fourth character member 284 is a member representing the letter “E”. Each of these members includes fitting rods 281A to 284A (these applications and the like will be described later) extending rearward.

  The third character member 283 includes an LED substrate 283B, a diffusion plate 283C, and a cover body 283D in addition to the fitting rod 283A (see FIG. 8). The LED substrate 283 B is electrically connected to the LED substrate 275 or the substrate 253. The LED substrate 283B is mounted with various circuits and LEDs (may be other light sources) emitting light forward. The LED substrate 283 B causes the LED to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control substrate 12 relayed by the substrate 253 or the LED substrate 275. The diffusion plate 283C diffuses the light from the LEDs of the LED substrate 283B (the light emitted from the LEDs). The cover body 283D is a transparent or translucent member, and transmits the light diffused by the diffusion plate 283C. With such a configuration, the third character member 283 can emit light in order to enhance the rendering effect. The first character member 281, the second character member 282, and the fourth character member 284 have the same configuration. For this reason, the first to fourth character members 281 to 284 can emit light individually or simultaneously.

  The driving force transmission mechanism X1 includes the racks 255A and 255B, and further includes first to third pinion gears 291 to 293 and first to fourth rack members 295 to 298.

  The first pinion gear 291 is fitted to the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 and rotates with the rotation shaft. The second pinion gear 292 is rotatably supported by the first rack member 295. The third pinion gear 293 is rotatably supported by the third rack member 297. The second pinion gear 292 and the third pinion gear 293 have a shape in which a small diameter first gear (located forward) and a large diameter second gear (located backward) are stacked in two with a common rotation axis. The first gear of the second pinion gear 292 meshes with the teeth of the rack portion 255A extending in the left-right direction (see also FIGS. 10 and 11). The first gear of the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the teeth of the rack portion 255B extending in the left-right direction (see also FIGS. 10 and 11). The engagement destination of the second gear of each gear will be described later.

  The first rack member 295 has a shape elongated in the left-right direction, and functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the first pinion gear 291 rotates. The first rack member 295 includes protrusions 295A to 295C, an attachment portion 295D, a detection piece 295E, teeth 295F, and long holes 295I and 295J.

  The protrusions 295A to 295C are formed, for example, of cylindrical bosses that project rearward. The protrusion 295A rotatably supports the second pinion gear 292. Specifically, the protrusion 295A is supported by inserting the protrusion 295A into the central through hole of the second pinion gear 292. The second pinion gear 292 can rotate with the central axis of the protrusion 295A as the rotation axis. The protrusions 295 </ b> B to 295 </ b> C are aligned in the left-right direction, and are inserted into later-described long holes 296 </ b> B of the second rack member 296.

  The attachment portion 295D is formed of a cylindrical boss or the like having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 282A of the second character member 282 is fitted in the fitting hole of the attachment portion 295D. The fitting rod 282A passes through the through hole 269B of the decorative body 269, the through hole 271A of the cover body 271, the through hole 277A of the cover body 277, and the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and is fitted to the attachment portion 295D. As described later, the second character member 282 moves in the left-right direction as the first rack member 295 moves. Therefore, the shape of the notch 275B does not inhibit the movement of the second character member 282, and the through holes 269B, the through holes 271A, and the through holes 277A move the second character member 282. It is long in the left-right direction to allow it.

  The detection piece 295E is a portion that protrudes upward and is a detection target by the detection sensor 259. The detection sensor 259 may be, for example, similar to the detection sensor 223. The detection piece 295E is detected (that is, the initial position) when the first rack member 295 is in the initial position (the initial state of the movable body 250) (see FIG. 10). That is, the detection sensor 259 detects the initial position of the first rack member 295 (the initial state of the movable body 250).

  The teeth 295F extend in the left-right direction, and mesh with the first pinion gear 291 from the upper side.

  The long holes 295I and 295J are long in the left-right direction, the protrusion 255I is inserted into the long hole 295I, and the protrusion 255J is inserted into the long hole 295J. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long holes 295I and 295J is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 255I and 255J (the diameter is slightly shorter). Thus, the first rack member 295 can slide in the left and right direction but does not move in any other direction.

  The second rack member 296 has an elongated shape in the left-right direction, and is disposed in front of the first rack member 295. The second rack member 296 functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the second pinion gear 292 rotates as described later. The second rack member 296 includes teeth 296A, an elongated hole 296B, and an attachment portion 296C.

  The teeth 296A extend in the left-right direction, and mesh with the large diameter second gear of the second pinion gear 292 from below.

  The protrusions 295B and 295C aligned in the left-right direction are inserted into the long holes 296B. The width (longitudinal length) of the long hole 296B is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 295B and 295C (the diameter is slightly shorter). Accordingly, the second rack member 296 can slide in the left and right direction but does not move in any other direction.

  The protrusions 295B and 295C are provided on the left side of the first rack member 295, and the long holes 296B are provided on the right side of the second rack member 296. Therefore, the left end of the second rack member 296 is located on the left side of the left end of the first rack member 295. The left portion of the second rack member 296 passes through the through hole 267B of the first mounting member 267 (the through hole 269A of the decorative body 269) (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

  The attachment portion 296C is formed of a cylindrical boss or the like having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 281A of the first character member 281 is fitted in the fitting hole. The mounting portion 296C is provided at the left end of the second rack member 296, and is always exposed from the decorative body 269 or the like (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Therefore, unlike the second character member 282, the first character member 281 is fitted and attached to the attachment portion 296C without passing through the through hole or the like.

  The third rack member 297 is substantially L-shaped, and functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the first pinion gear 291 rotates. The third rack member 297 includes protrusions 297A to 297C, attachment portions 297D, teeth 297F, and long holes 297K and 297L.

  The protrusions 297A to 297C are each formed of a cylindrical boss or the like protruding rearward. The protrusion 297A rotatably supports the third pinion gear 293. Specifically, the protrusion 297A is supported by inserting the protrusion 297A into the central through hole of the third pinion gear 293. The third pinion gear 293 can rotate with the central axis of the protrusion 297A as the rotation axis. The protrusions 297B to 297C are aligned in the left-right direction, and are inserted into later-described long holes 298B of the fourth rack member 298.

  The attachment portion 297D is formed of a cylindrical boss or the like having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 283A of the third character member 283 is fitted in the fitting hole of the attachment portion 297D. The fitting rod 283A passes through the through hole 269C of the decorative body 269, the through hole 271B of the cover body 271, the through hole 277B of the cover body 277, and the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and is engaged with the attachment portion 297D. As described later, the third character member 283 moves in the left-right direction as the third rack member 297 moves. Therefore, the shape of the notch 275B is a shape that does not inhibit the movement of the third character member 283, and the through holes 269C, the through holes 271B, and the through holes 277B move the third character member 283. It is long in the left-right direction to allow it.

  The teeth 297F extend in the left-right direction, and mesh with the first pinion gear 291 from the lower side.

  The long holes 297K and 297L are elongated in the left-right direction, the protrusion 255K is inserted into the long hole 297K, and the protrusion 255L is inserted into the long hole 295L. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long holes 297K and 297L is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 255K and 255L (the diameter is slightly shorter). Accordingly, the third rack member 297 can slide in the left and right direction but does not move in any other direction.

  The fourth rack member 298 has an elongated shape in the left-right direction, and is disposed in front of the third rack member 297. The fourth rack member 298 functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction as the third pinion gear 293 rotates as described later. Fourth rack member 298 includes teeth 298A, slots 298B, and mounting portions 298C.

  The teeth 298A extend in the left-right direction and mesh with the large diameter second gear of the third pinion gear 293 from the lower side.

  The protrusions 297B and 297C aligned in the left-right direction are inserted into the long holes 298B. The width (longitudinal length) of the long hole 298B is substantially the same as the diameter of the cylindrical protrusions 297B and 297C (the diameter is slightly shorter). Therefore, the fourth rack member 298 is slidable in the left and right direction but does not move in any other direction.

  The protrusions 297B and 297C are provided on the right side of the third rack member 297, and the long holes 298B are provided on the left side of the fourth rack member 298. Therefore, the right end of the fourth rack member 298 is located on the right side of the right end of the third rack member 297. The left portion of the fourth rack member 298 passes through the through hole 268B of the second mounting member 268 (the through hole 269D of the decorative body 269) (see FIGS. 10 and 11).

  The mounting portion 298C is formed of a cylindrical boss or the like having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 284A of the fourth character member 284 is fitted in the fitting hole. The mounting portion 298C is provided at the right end of the fourth rack member 298, and is always exposed from the decorative body 269 or the like (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Therefore, unlike the third character member 283, the fourth character member 284 is fitted and attached to the attachment portion 298C without passing through the through hole or the like.

(Operation of predetermined mechanism X, etc.)
The operation and the like of the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 and 11. 10 (the first rack member 295 and the second rack member 296 are at the rightmost position, and the third rack member 297 and the fourth rack member 298 are at the leftmost position) in the initial state Do.

  When the drive motor 273 rotates its rotation shaft forward from the initial state of FIG. 10 (left rotation), the first pinion gear 291 fitted to the rotation shaft also rotates forward. By this forward rotation, the first rack member 295 having the teeth 295F meshing with the first pinion gear 291 from the top slides to the left, and the third rack member 297 having the teeth 297F meshing with the first pinion gear 291 from the bottom slides to the right .

  When the first rack member 295 moves to the left, the second pinion gear 292 supported by the protrusions 295A of the first rack member 295 also moves to the left. The small diameter first gear of the second pinion gear 292 meshes with the stationary rack portion 255A from below, so the second pinion gear 292 moves to the left while rotating in the reverse direction (right rotation). Since the large diameter second gear of the second pinion gear 292 meshes with the teeth 296A of the second rack member 296 from above, the movement and reverse rotation of the second pinion gear 292 also moves the second rack member 296 to the left. Do. The movement amount of the second rack member 296 is larger than that of the first rack member 295 by the use of the second pinion gear 292.

  When the third rack member 297 moves to the right, the third pinion gear 293 supported by the protrusion 297A of the third rack member 297 also moves to the right. The small diameter first gear of the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the stationary rack portion 255B from below, so the third pinion gear 293 moves to the right while rotating forward. The large diameter second gear of the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the teeth 298A of the fourth rack member 298 from above, so the fourth rack member 298 also moves to the right by the movement and reverse rotation of the third pinion gear 293. Do. The movement amount of the fourth rack member 298 is larger than that of the third rack member 297 due to the use of the third pinion gear 293.

  The first character member 281 is attached to the leftmost second rack member 296 (attachment portion 296C), and the second character member 282 is attached to the second left first rack member 295 (attachment portion 295D) The third character member 283 is attached to the third rack member 297 (attachment portion 297D) third from the left, and the fourth character member 284 is attached to the rightmost fourth rack member 298 (attachment portion 298C). Because each rack member moves, each character member also moves.

  A state after the first to fourth rack members 295 to 298 and the first to fourth character members 281 to 284 move is shown in FIG. The amount of movement of the second rack member 296 (first character member 281) is larger than that of the first rack member 295 (second character member 282). The amount of movement of the fourth rack member 298 (fourth character member 284) is larger than that of the third rack member 297 (third character member 283). Due to this relationship, in this embodiment, the distance between the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 increases with the same degree of change (at any timing during movement). Each member is arranged at substantially equal intervals).

  The second character member 282 and the third character member 283 are movable without interference with the decorative body 269 or the like by the through holes 269B and the through holes 269C of the decorative body 269. Further, since the attachment portion 296C to which the first character member 281 is attached and the attachment portion 298C to which the fourth character member 284 is attached are always out of the decorative body 269, they also do not interfere with the decorative body 269 etc. It is possible to move to That is, the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 are movable independently of the deformation of the decorative body 269.

  In the state of FIG. 11, when the drive motor 273 reversely rotates the rotation shaft, an operation opposite to the operation described above is performed, and the initial state of FIG. 10 is returned to.

  The drive motor 273 is controlled by the effect control board 12. By supplying a control signal to the drive motor 273, the effect control board 12 positively rotates the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 by a predetermined rotation angle, and changes the state of FIG. 10 to the state of FIG. Change the spacing of characters (increase the spacing). Further, the presentation control board 12 reversely rotates the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 by supplying a control signal to the drive motor 273 to change the interval of the letters of LOVE from the state of FIG. 11 to the state of FIG. Reduce the spacing). The effect control board 12 detects the detection piece 295E by the detection sensor 259 (when receiving a detection signal from the detection sensor 259 or when receiving a detection signal for a certain period), that is, each rack such as the first rack member 295 When the member or the like is in the initial position (when in the state of FIG. 10), the drive of the drive motor 273 is ended.

  Note that the effect control board 12 repeatedly rotates the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, and the character intervals of "LOVE" (intervals of the first to fourth character members 281 to 284) ) May be changed continuously several times.

  A detection sensor is provided at the position of the detection piece 295E in the state of FIG. 11, and the effect control board 12 detects that the current state is the state of FIG. 11 by detecting the detection piece 295E by the detection sensor. You may The effect control board 12 may control the drive motor 273 based on the detection.

(Relationship between deformation of movable body 250 and light emission)
The relationship between the deformation of the movable body 250 and the light emission mode of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A shows an initial state of the movable body 250. FIG. The movable body 250 (decor 269) at this time is not deformed. The effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.) to change the movable body 250 in the order of FIG. 12 (A) → (B) → (C) → (A) → (B) →. (This causes the decoration to appear beating like pounding) (strictly speaking, the state of (A) also enters between (B) and (C) of FIG. 12. The state of (A) is ( This is because it is a state between the state of B) and the state of (C)). Further, when the effect control board 12 deforms the movable body 250, the control signal is supplied to the LED board 275 via the board 253 to cause the LED 275A to emit light (that is, the decorative body 269 is illuminated from the rear) . In the following description, it is assumed that the luminance of the LED 275A is constant.

  The effect control board 12 supplies a control signal to the LED board 283 B or the like via the board 253 and / or the LED board 275 in accordance with the light emission of the LED 275 A, or regardless of the light emission. The four character members 281 to 284 may emit light individually or simultaneously to enhance the rendering effect.

  When the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.) is positively rotated (right rotation) from the initial state, as described above, the first gear 261 is also positively rotated, via the second gear 262 and the third gear 263. The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 move away from each other (see FIG. 12B). Thus, the decorative body 269 extends in the left-right direction (elastically deformed in such a manner as to be pulled from both the left and right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 is reduced, the light transmittance is improved, and more light of the LED 275A is transmitted, so the movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time looks brighter than in the initial state.

  Thereafter, when the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.) is reversely rotated (left rotation), as described above, the first gear 261 is also reversely rotated, via the second gear 262 and the third gear 263. The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 move in the approaching direction (see FIG. 12C). Thereby, the decoration 269 is contracted in the left and right direction (elastically deformed in such a manner as to be pushed from both the left and right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 is increased, the light transmittance is reduced, and the light of the LED 275A is transmitted less, so the movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time is in the state of FIG. It looks darker than the initial condition.

  Thus, in this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12C, the decorative body 269 of the movable body 250 expands and contracts in the left-right direction to change the light transmittance, and the decorative body In 269, the brightness changes in accordance with the movement of the player's own beating, so the stage effect is increased. The luminance of the LED 275A may be changed according to the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269. For example, even when the light transmittance is high (FIG. 12B), the luminance is increased, and when the light transmittance is low (FIG. 12C), the luminance is decreased. Good. By this, the brightness of the decoration 269 changes more largely according to the heartbeat, and the stage effect can be enhanced. The light from the LED 256A mounted on the LED substrate 256 illuminates the upper part of the decorative body 269. Therefore, in FIG. 12 showing the appearance of the front face of the decorative body 269, the appearance of being illuminated by the LED 256A is not shown. On the other hand, the player can visually recognize the upper part of the decoration 269 illuminated by the light from the LED 256A. In the upper part of the decoration 269, the light transmission factor changes as the decoration 269 expands and contracts in the left-right direction. Therefore, the brightness of the light from the LED 256A also changes in accordance with the beating movement of the decorative body 269.

(Structure of LED board 256, etc.)
FIG. 13 is a view showing the LED substrate, (A) is a perspective view seen from the front, and (B) is a plan view seen from the arrow B in (A). FIG. 14 is a diagram showing an LED substrate, in which (A) is a cross-sectional view of the section line XIVA-XIVA in FIG. 13 (B), and (B) is a section line XIVB-XIVB in FIG. 13 (B). FIG.

  The LED substrate 256 has a substrate body 256B, and a plurality of LEDs 256A and connectors 256C soldered to the substrate body 256B. Hereinafter, the plurality of LEDs 256A and the connector 256C may be collectively referred to as an electronic component 256D.

  The substrate body 256B has a shape that matches the shape of the curved upper surface of the base body 255 on which the substrate body 256B is installed. The substrate main body 256B includes a curved curved portion 285 and a curved portion 287, and a non-curved non-curved portion 286. The curved portion 285 has a substantially bow-shaped curved shape in the cross section shown in FIG. 14 (A) cut along a cutting line XIVA-XIVA parallel to the left and right direction. The curved portion 287 has a shape substantially symmetrical to the curved portion 285 with respect to the center of the substrate main body 256B, and has a substantially arched curved shape in a cross section cut along the cutting line XIVA-XIVA. There is. The non-curved portion 286 connects both of the curved portion 285 and the curved portion 287. The non-curved portion 286 is illustrated in a flat plate shape without being curved in the cross section cut along the cutting line XIVA-XIVA.

  As shown in FIG. 14B, the curved portion 285 is not curved in a cross section cut along a cutting line XIVB-XIVB (a cutting line orthogonal to the cutting line XIVA-XIVA) parallel to the front-rear direction, and is not curved but flat. It is illustrated in the form of Similarly, the non-curved portion 286 and the curved portion 287 are not curved in the cross section cut along a cutting line parallel to the front-rear direction.

  In the LED substrate 256 in the present embodiment, five LEDs 256A are soldered to the curved portion 285, and five LEDs 256A and one connector 256C are soldered to the curved portion 287. On the other hand, the non-curved portion 286 is not provided with any electronic component 256D.

  Next, an attachment aspect of the electronic component 256D provided on the substrate body 256B will be described. FIG. 15 is a view showing the LED substrate, (A) is an enlarged view of “XVA portion” in FIG. 13 (A), (B) is a cross-sectional view seen from the arrow B in (A), ) Is a cross-sectional view seen from the arrow C in (A).

  Each drawing in FIG. 15 focuses on one LED 256A provided on the substrate body 256B. As shown in FIG. 15A, the LED 256A has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is soldered to the mounting position Z0 on the substrate body 256B. The rectangular LED 256A can define a short dimension in the short dimension and a long dimension in the long dimension. In FIG. 15, orthogonal coordinates are defined with the attachment position Z0 as the origin, the short direction of the LED 256A as the X-axis direction, and the longitudinal direction as the Y-axis direction. The LED 256A is soldered on the substrate body 256B such that the Y-axis direction, which is the longitudinal direction, coincides with the front-rear direction so that the X-axis direction, which is the short side direction, coincides with the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIG. 15B, in a cross-sectional view cut along a cross-sectional line parallel to the left-right direction, the substrate main body 256B is curved. The LED 256A is mounted on the substrate body 256B such that the X-axis, which is the short direction, coincides with the tangent on the substrate body 256B passing through the mounting position Z0. Two tangents are described in FIG. 15 (B), and the first is a tangent 288 passing through the point Z1 on the substrate main body 256B corresponding to the point X1 advanced in the −X axis direction from the point X0 . The second line is a tangent 289 passing through the point Z2 on the substrate body 256B corresponding to the point X2 advanced in the + X axis direction from the point X0. As the tangent 288, the X axis, and the tangent 289 on the substrate body 256B are sequentially viewed, the direction of the straight line gradually changes. From this, it is understood that the substrate body 256B in the curved portion 285 has a curvature along the X-axis direction (the short direction of the LED 256A). Note that the magnitude of the curvature of the substrate body 256B in the X-axis direction can be determined by the degree of change in the direction of the tangent. If the change in the direction of the tangent is large, the degree of curvature of the substrate body 256B is large, and the curvature in the X-axis direction is large. On the other hand, if the change in the angle of the tangent is small, the degree of curvature of the substrate body 256B is small, and the curvature in the X-axis direction is small.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15C, in the cross-sectional view cut along the cross-sectional line parallel to the front-rear direction, the substrate main body 256B is not curved. The LED 256A is provided on the substrate body 256B such that the Y axis, which is the longitudinal direction, coincides with a tangent on the substrate body 256B passing through the mounting position Z0. Further, in FIG. 15C, a tangent line passing through point Z3 on substrate main body 256B corresponding to point Y1 advancing from point Y0 in the -Y axis direction, and a point Y2 advancing from point Y0 in the + Y axis direction A tangent passing through the point Z4 on the substrate body 256B coincides with the Y axis. Thus, the tangent line on the substrate body 256B in FIG. 15C does not change its direction even if the position on the Y axis is made different. From this, the curvature in the Y-axis direction (longitudinal direction of the LED 256A) of the substrate body 256B is zero.

  Thus, at the mounting position Z0 on the substrate body 256B, the LED 256A is soldered with the short direction (X-axis direction) in the direction of large curvature and the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) in the direction of small curvature. ing. Particularly in the present embodiment, the lateral direction (X-axis direction) of the LED 256A is the direction in which the curvature is maximum at the attachment position Z0, the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the LED 256A is the curvature in the attachment position Z0 It is made to correspond to the direction (curvature is 0 direction). In the electronic component 256D other than the LED 256A shown by "XVA portion" in FIG. 13A, the lateral direction is the direction of large curvature and the longitudinal direction is the small direction of curvature at the mounting position on the substrate body 256B. It is soldered so that it may face (the longitudinal direction is directed to the front and back direction).

(Overall operation of the rendering device 200)
The rendering using the rendering device 200 is performed, for example, at the time of super reach. For example, as shown in FIG. 16, the effect control board 12 operates the movable body 250 at a predetermined timing of super reach. Specifically, by controlling the drive motor 257 at the same time as controlling the drive motor 273, the decoration 269 is expanded and contracted in the left and right direction (the detailed operation is described above), and the first character member 281 to the fourth character The distance between the members of the member 284 is increased or decreased (the detailed operation is described above). Thereby, the operation (the deformation of the movable body 250) as shown in FIGS. 16 (B) and (C) is repeated. At this time, the effect control device 12 displays, on the image display device 5, effect images EG1 and EG2 that emphasize that the movable body 250 is beating in response to the deformation of the movable body 250.

  Thereafter, the rendering control board 12 sets the movable body 250 in the initial state before deformation, and then controls the drive mechanism 210 (drive motor 215) to advance the movable body 250 to the advanced position (the detailed operation is the above). reference). At this time, the effect control board 12 displays an effect image EG3 that makes the drive motor 273 stand out on the image display device 5 (FIG. 16 (D)). At this time, the aspect of the movable body 250 may be changed (the illumination of the decoration 269, the deformation of the decoration 269, the change of the interval of letters of LOVE, etc.).

(Effects of this embodiment, etc.)
As in the above-described embodiment, by moving the left and right ends of the decorative body 269, the decorative body 269 is deformed. Therefore, the decorative body 269 can be changed in an unprecedented form, and the rendering effect is improved. In this manner, the decorative body is changed (for example, in a complicated manner) to a form in which the player is interested by changing the decorative body by applying forces in multiple directions to the decorative body to a plurality of places. Can improve the stage effect.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is changed by deforming the decorative body 269 (changing the thickness by deformation). Thereby, the brightness of the decoration 269 illuminated later can be changed according to the shape. In particular, since the transmittance can be changed according to the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269, the brightness of the decorative body 269 can be continuously changed by continuously changing the shape of the decorative body 269. (No need for complicated control). Therefore, the rendering effect can be improved.

  In addition, by changing the luminance of the LED 257A according to the deformation of the decorative body 269, the effect by the deformation of the decorative body 269 can be performed simultaneously with the effect by the light, and the effect can be improved. The presentation effect can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the effect image EG1 or the like corresponding to the change of the decorative body 269 is displayed on the image display device 5, the display image of the image display device 5 can be interlocked with the deformation of the decorative body 269. , Can improve the rendering effect.

  In addition, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. In addition, the elastic body 229 serves as a resistance to the movable body 250 moving downward. As a result, the load on the drive motor 215 due to the weight of the movable body 250 can be reduced, and the vertical movement of the movable body 250 can be made smooth.

  In the mounting position, the electronic component 256D on the curved substrate body 256B is soldered so that the short direction is the direction in which the curvature of the LED substrate 256 is large and the longitudinal direction is the direction in which the curvature of the LED substrate 256 is small. There is. As a result, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks in the solder that fixes the electronic component 256D. Such an effect is achieved by soldering electronic components such as LEDs to a flat substrate body even in the LED substrate formed by soldering the electronic components to the curved substrate body regardless of the manufacturing process of the LED substrate. The same effect is produced also in the LED substrate formed by bending the substrate body.

  It is difficult from the aspect of cost and manufacture to bend electronic parts such as LEDs according to the shape of the curved substrate body. Therefore, although the non-curved electronic component is to be soldered to the substrate body, an inevitable gap is generated between the non-curved electronic component and the curved substrate body. Due to this unavoidable gap, when the electronic component is soldered to the curved substrate body, the fixing by the solder becomes insufficient, or an unexpected thermal stress or stress concentration occurs in the solder. This tends to cause cracks in the solder that fixes the electronic component. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gap formed between the electronic component and the substrate body is made small by orienting the longitudinal direction of the electronic component to the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body is small. On the other hand, by orienting the short direction of the electronic component in the direction in which the curvature of the substrate main body is large, the electronic component is disposed so as to have a gap as small as possible in the direction in which a large gap is generated. As a result, soldering of the electronic component can be made reliable, unexpected thermal stress and stress concentration can be reduced, and cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

  Next, the case of forming a curved LED substrate by bending a flat substrate body on which electronic components are soldered will be described. When the electronic component is soldered to the substrate body on a flat plate, no gap is generated between the electronic component and the substrate body, and a defect in soldering is less likely to occur. However, when the substrate body to which the electronic component is soldered is bent, a tensile region and a compression region are formed on the substrate body with the neutral axis as a boundary. At this time, the surface on the tensile region side of the substrate body is stretched, and the surface on the compressive region side is shrunk. However, electronic components and solder on the surface of the substrate body try to resist the expansion and contraction of the surface of the substrate body. Therefore, the solder is likely to be cracked by bending the substrate body. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the electronic component is arranged such that the lateral direction coincides with the direction in which the surface is greatly expanded and shrunk by bending of the substrate body (a direction in which a tensile force or a compressive force acts and a large curvature). Is placed. As a result, the range in which the surface of the substrate body restrains expansion and contraction can be reduced, the stress acting on the solder can be reduced, and the crack generated in the solder can be suppressed.

  Further, a substantially triangular notch 269H and a notch 269I are formed on the top of the attachment portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a force is applied to the decorative body 269 so as to compress in the left and right direction, the notches 269H and 269I close the notched portions. Thus, the decorative body 269 can be easily deformed by the compression force from the left and right direction, and the operation of the decorative body 269 can be made natural.

  The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267 are connected in a state in which the left end of the decorative body 269 is sandwiched, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 are connected at the right end of the decorative body 269. It is connected in the state where sandwiches the. As described above, by connecting the decorative body 269 in a sandwiching state, when deforming the decorative body 269, it is possible to suppress a problem that stress concentrates on a specific place and the decorative body 269 is torn. .

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiment and the like, and various modifications and applications of the above embodiment and the like are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above embodiment, and the part described in the above embodiment can be solved so that at least one problem in the prior art can be solved. It may have a configuration of Although the modification of the said embodiment is illustrated below, at least one part of each modification can be combined unless contradiction arises.

(Modification 1)
In the above, the drive of the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 and the deformation of the decorative body 269 are performed by separate and independent mechanisms, but both may be interlocked. For example, by fixing the second rack portion 296 and the fourth rack member 298 directly to the through holes 269A and 269D of the decorative body 269 or by fixing them to the first mounting member 267 and the second mounting member 268, the second rack The slide of the portion 296 and the fourth rack member 298 may be interlocked with the deformation of the decorative body 269. In such a case, various members for transmitting the drive force of the drive motor 257 and the drive motor 257 become unnecessary. With such a configuration, a plurality of types of members used for rendering can be easily interlocked, and the rendering effect can be enhanced.

(Modification 2)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may perform a so-called initial operation at the time of initialization when power is turned on. The initial operation uses (1) various sensors to determine whether the movable body 250 or the like is in the initial state (for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is normally turned off, the movable body 250 is in the initial state) If it is not in the initial state, the process of returning the movable body 250 etc. to the initial state is executed, and (2) whether the movable body 250 etc. moves normally at the time of the store clerk or factory shipment of the game arcade Processing to actually move the movable body 250 etc. and return it to the initial state (for example, the same operation as performing effects using the movable body 250 etc. during a game) in order to make the operator etc. visually confirm And / or at least one of performing the process of causing the movable body 250 and the like to perform. The initial state is, for example, (1) a state when no external force is applied to the decoration 269 etc., (2) a normal state without abnormality (for example, a state when the power is normally turned on without abnormality, etc. , A state in which effects and the like are not performed) as long as the decorative body 269 or the like is in operation. Then, when performing the initial operation (the movement of the movable member 250, the deformation of the decoration 269, the movement of the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284, etc.) when the power is turned on, the effect control board 12 To display the image to be displayed when the effect such as the effect image is usually performed by the movable body 250 (for example, the image display device 5 is not displayed or only a predetermined initial screen is displayed). Or, you may want to display the recovery screen when power is restored). This makes it possible to improve the visibility of the operation of the movable body 250 when the power is turned on (in particular, the above (2)).
During initial operation).

(Modification 3)
Even if the external force necessary for the deformation does not act during the deformation (for example, even if the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like) during the deformation, the decorative body 269 is being deformed by the elastic force (restoring force). The initial state (initial shape) may be approached more than the state. For example, a stepping motor or the like having a weak detent torque may be adopted as the drive motor 257 to increase the elastic force of the decorative body 269 (restoring force required to rotate the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 not powered on). The decoration 269 should have). The decorative body 269 and the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 may approach the initial state when the power is turned off by the force of an elastic body such as a spring provided in a mechanism for driving them. . To approach the initial state includes both of the decoration 269 returning to the initial state and returning to a state (shape) close to the initial state. If the decorative body 269 approaches the initial state to some extent, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconveniences (for example, unintended customs and the decorative body 269 becoming difficult to return to the initial state) due to the deformed decorative body 269 being left as it is.

(Modification 4)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may include means for monitoring the voltage of the power supply. In this case, when the value of the voltage of the power supply falls below a predetermined value, it is determined that the power is cut off such as a power failure, and the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 are controlled to bring the rendering device 200 closer to the initial state. You may The predetermined value may be a value that secures a voltage necessary to operate the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 (various drive motors) (a value larger than a threshold at the time of determining the power-off at the end) Good for you). For example, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 275 to bring the first slide member 265, the first attachment member 267, the second slide member 266, and the second attachment member 268 close to their original positions (move to the initial position) Including moving them to the vicinity of the initial position). Thereby, the force in the direction to return the decorative body 269 to the initial state can be applied to the decorative body 269, and the decorative body 269 can be brought closer to the initial state (at this time, the first character member 281 to the fourth character The member 284 may also be brought close to the initial state). The description of the “initial state” and the “close to the initial state” and the effect of the fourth modification conform to those of the third modification. Note that a backup power supply or the like is provided, and after the power is actually cut off and power is not supplied from the outside, the effect control substrate 12 controls the drive motor 275 by the backup power supply, and the first slide member The first and second attachment members 267 and 267 and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 may be brought close to their original positions. The decorative body 269 may not be an elastic body, and in this case, the process described above may be performed to bring the rendering device 200 closer to the initial state.

(Modification 5)
The decorative body 269 may be one in which a force acts in the vertical direction or in an oblique direction, or a force in three or more directions may act. The decorative body 269 may have a force acting in one direction. Note that in the case where forces in multiple directions are applied to the decorative body 269, the forces in the multiple directions may be simultaneously applied or may be applied at different timings. For example, after a force is applied to the right end of the decorative body 269, a force may be applied to the left end. The magnitudes of the forces in the multiple directions may be the same or at least one may be different from the other. The direction and the number of acting forces, the timing of action, etc. may be in accordance with the shape of the decorative body 269 (in the above embodiment, since the shape of the decorative body 269 is a heart shape, the decorative body 269 beats) In order to make it look like you are working on the left and right simultaneously).

  For example, the decorative body 269 may be transitioned only to the state shown in FIG. 12 (B) with the state shown in FIG. 12 (A) as the initial state. Thus, the decorative body 269 does not expand and contract from the initial state, and may perform only an operation extending from the initial state (It may be defined by a rotation angle of a drive motor or the like). Furthermore, for example, the decoration 269 may be transitioned only to the state of FIG. 12 (C), with FIG. 12 (A) as the initial state. Thus, the decorative body 269 may perform only the operation of contracting from the initial state (It may be defined by the rotation angle of a drive motor or the like).

(Modification 6)
For example, when the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is the first light transmissivity because the decorative body 269 is extended, the luminance of the LED 257A (lighting from the rear) is set as the first luminance, and the decorative body 269 is shrunk When the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is a second transmittance lower than the first transmittance, the brightness of the LED 257A may be a second brightness higher than the first brightness. For example, in the case of FIG. 12B, the luminance may be low, and in the case of FIG. 12C, the luminance may be high. By doing this, for example, even if the decorative body 269 is deformed, the apparent brightness of the decorative body 269 may not be changed. This can enhance the rendering effect.

  In addition, the speed of movement of the decorative body 269 (such as the speed of heartbeat) may be changed, and the change in luminance of the LED 257A may be matched to the speed of the movement. For example, when the luminance (brightness and darkness) is changed according to the movement (beat) of the decorative body 269, as the motion becomes faster, the change of the luminance is also faster (earlier cycle of light and dark) and the motion is slower. The change in luminance may also be delayed (the cycle of light and dark may be delayed). For example, by setting the relationship between the state of the decorative body 269 and the luminance at that time to be always the same, the deformation cycle of the decorative body 269 can be matched with the cycle of change of the luminance of the LED 257A. This can enhance the rendering effect. The emission color of the LED 257A may be changed instead of or in addition to the change in luminance (the faster the color, the darker the color). Depending on the speed of movement of the decorative body 269, various aspects (shape, color, blinking cycle, size, number of images, etc.) such as the effect images EG1 and EG2 displayed on the image display device 5 may be changed. (The effect image may be changed to another image according to the speed of movement of the decoration 269). Depending on the movement mode (direction of movement (stretching direction, etc.), movement amount, speed of movement, etc.) of the decorative body 269, change the brightness, light emission color (illumination color), mode of the effect image, etc. of the LED 257A. It is also good.

(Modification 7)
The rendering using the rendering device 200 may be performed at a preview rendering, a preview, a rendering at the time of a big hit gaming state, or the like in addition to the execution of the rendering of the super reach. The shape etc. of the movable body 250 can employ | adopt an appropriate thing. The present invention is also applicable to other gaming machines such as slot machines and enclosed gaming machines.

(Modification 8)
The above-described LED substrate 256 has a curvature in the left-right direction, but has no curvature in the front-rear direction orthogonal to the left-right direction. And the electronic component on a board | substrate body is arrange | positioned towards the front-back direction whose curvature is zero with a longitudinal direction. The present invention is applicable not only to a substrate of such a shape but also to the case of soldering an electronic component to a substrate having a curvature in any direction. FIG. 17 is a view showing another example of the LED substrate, in which (A) is a plan view and (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along the line B-B in (A). FIG. 18 is a view showing another example of the LED substrate, in which (A) is a cross-sectional view of the cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA in FIG. 17 (A), (B) is a “B portion in (A) Is an enlarged view of

  The LED substrate 300 includes a substrate main body 301, a plurality of LEDs 302 soldered to the substrate main body 301, and a connector 303 (hereinafter, these may be simply referred to as electronic components 304). .

  The substrate main body 301 is rectangular in plan view, and its surface is curved in any direction, which is different from the above-described LED substrate 256. The substrate body 301 is a low curved section having a curvature smaller than that of the highly curved section 311 and the highly curved section 311 which are greatly curved in the cross section shown in FIG. 17B cut along a cutting line B-B parallel to the left and right direction. 310 and a low curvature section 312. The low curved section 310 and the low curved section 312 are in line symmetry with respect to the center of the LED substrate 300. On the other hand, the substrate main body 301 is also curved in the cross section shown in FIG. 18A cut along a cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA parallel to the front-rear direction. However, the degree of curvature is smaller than the degree of curvature of any section of the cross section shown in FIG. That is, the substrate main body 301 of the LED substrate 300 has a curved surface having a large curvature of a cross section cut along a cutting line parallel to the lateral direction and a small curvature of a cross section cutting along a cutting line parallel to the longitudinal direction.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, a short direction X1 and a longitudinal direction X2 are defined in the LED 302. In the LED 302, the longitudinal direction Y1 corresponds to the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is small (FIG. 18 (FIG. 18)) such that the transverse direction X1 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is large (FIG. 17B). A)) placed. Such an arrangement of the LEDs 302 can suppress cracks generated in the solder for fixing the LEDs 302 as in the above embodiment.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, a short direction X2 and a longitudinal direction Y2 are defined in the connector 303. The connector 303 has a dimension in the lateral direction and a dimension in the longitudinal direction both larger than the dimensions of the LED 302. In the connector 303, the longitudinal direction Y2 corresponds to the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is small (FIG. 17) so that the transverse direction X2 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is large (FIG. 17B). (A) placed. Thereby, the crack which arises in the solder which fixes connector 303 can be controlled. Further, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 17B, the connector 303 is soldered to the low curvature section 312 having a small curvature, and is not soldered to the high curvature section 311. As mentioned above, the various dimensions of the connector 303 are larger than the dimensions of the LED 302. Therefore, in order to make the gap between the connector 303 and the substrate body 301 smaller, it is soldered to a place with a small curvature. This does not exclude that the LED 302 is soldered to the low curvature section 312. That is, the smaller the size of the electronic component, the soldering to the point of greater curvature is acceptable. On the other hand, the larger the size of the electronic component, the more the place to be soldered is limited to the place having a smaller curvature.

  Although the LED and the connector have been described as examples of electronic components to be soldered to a substrate, the present invention is also applicable to the case of soldering, for example, transistors, resistors, diodes, capacitors, etc., as other electronic components. be able to.

(Modification 9)
Further, in the above-described LED substrate, since the direction in which the curvature is large matches the direction in which the curvature is small among the attachment points of the plurality of electronic components, the longitudinal direction of each electronic component is also regularly made to coincide in the front and back direction Was soldered. However, the present invention can be applied to a substrate in which the substrate body is twisted and curved in various directions. Also in this case, at the attachment position of the electronic component, the electronic component may be soldered with the longitudinal direction in the direction in which the curvature is large and the short direction in the direction in which the curvature is small.

(Modification 10)
As shown in FIG. 18B, in the curved LED substrate 300, the mode is different between the wiring 330 on the surface on the side of the bending portion 301a and the wiring 340 on the surface on the side of the bending portion 301b. May be Here, the bent portion 301a is a portion where a tensile force acts on the border of the neutral axis when the substrate main body 301 is bent, and a compressive force acts on the border of the neutral axis with the bent portion 301b. Say the part. The wiring 330 on the surface on the side of the bent portion 301a receives a tensile force when bending the LED substrate 300, and also receives a thermal stress when soldering an electronic component. In order to suppress the occurrence of defects such as breakage in the wiring 330 by receiving these external forces, the respective cross sections of the wiring 330 arranged on the side of the bending portion 301a are arranged on the side of the bending portion 301b. The cross section of the wiring 340 is made larger. Thereby, the occurrence of a crack in the solder 320 due to the disconnection of the wiring 330 can be suppressed. On the other hand, although compressive force mainly acts on the wire 340 on the surface on the side of the bent portion 301b, a defect such as breakage is less likely to occur in the wire 340 due to the compressive force. Therefore, the cross section of each of the wirings 340 arranged on the side of the bent portion 301b can be smaller than the cross section of the wiring 330 on the side of the bent portion 301a.

  Note that the difference between the cross section of the wiring 330 and the cross section of the wiring 340 is not limited to the case where the substrate is different in a curved state as shown in FIG. 18B. For example, in a flat substrate before bending, make the cross section different by the amount of expansion and contraction of the wiring, and when the substrate is curved thereafter, the wiring of the bent portion and the wiring of the bent portion have almost the same cross section. It is good also as composition. Further, as the difference in wiring between the bent portion and the bent portion, not only the size of the cross section of one wire but also the number of wires, the material of the wires, etc. may be made different. For example, the cross-sections of the respective wires may be made the same size in the bent portion and the bent portion, and the number of wires in the bent portion may be larger than the number of wires in the bent portion. In addition, the wire of the bent portion may be formed using a material that is easier to stretch than the wire of the bent portion. In addition, when the electronic component is soldered to each of the bent portion and the bent portion, the amount of solder of the electronic component disposed in the bent portion is calculated from the amount of solder of the electronic component disposed in the bent portion. There may be many. Thereby, a crack generated in the solder can be suppressed.

(Modification 11)
Further, in the LED substrate provided in the gaming machine according to the present invention, by considering the function and performance of the electronic component to be mounted, it is possible to realize the appropriate arrangement of the electronic component capable of suppressing the solder crack. FIG. 19 is a diagram for explaining another example of the LED substrate, in which (A) is a diagram in which electronic parts are arranged without considering the curvature of the substrate body, and (B) is an arrangement from (A) It is the figure which changed arrangement | positioning etc. of components. The substrate main body 401a shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B has the same shape as the substrate main body 301 shown in FIG. That is, the LED substrate 401 a has a highly curved high curved section 411 and a low curved section 410 and a low curved section 412 whose curvature is smaller than that of the high curved section 411. Further, although the substrate body 401 a is also curved in the front-rear direction, the degree of the curvature is smaller than that of the low bending section 410 and the low bending section 412.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, LEDs 420a to 420g, resistors 430a to 430b, and LEDs 421a to 421c are mounted on the substrate body 401a of the LED substrate 400a. As compared with the LEDs 420 a to 420 g, the LEDs 421 a to 421 c have high luminance of emitted light and large dimensions. Further, the resistor 430a and the resistor 430b have the same resistance value and the same size, respectively. Here, for example, in the solder for fixing the electronic components in the low curved section 410 and the low curved section 412, it is judged that the possibility of the occurrence of a crack is low because the degree of bending of the substrate body 401a is small. It is assumed that it is determined that the solder for fixing certain LEDs 420c to 420e is unlikely to be cracked because the size of the electronic component itself is small. On the other hand, it is assumed that the solder that fixes the LED 421b in the highly curved section 411 and the resistors 430a and 430b is determined to be highly likely to cause a crack. In this case, it is necessary to change the type, the arrangement, and the like of the electronic component shown in FIG. 19A and take measures to suppress the solder crack.

  In the solder for fixing the LEDs 420a to 420g, it is not necessary to change the position or the type of the electronic component because the possibility of the occurrence of a crack is low. However, as shown to FIG. 19 (B), you may provide LED422a in an intermediate position instead of LED420a and LED420b. The LEDs 422a arranged in this way are selected from those emitting light of the same level of luminance as the sum of the light emitted from the LEDs 420a and 420b. Although the LED 422a is larger in size than the LED 420a and the LED 420b, it is an LED that is determined to be less likely to cause a crack in the solder in the low curved section 410. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 19B, an LED 422b may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LED 420f and the LED 420g.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, four LEDs 422a can be provided instead of the LEDs 421b provided in the highly curved section 411, which is highly likely to cause a crack in the solder to be fixed. These LEDs 422a are selected from among the LEDs in which the combined brightness of the four lights is about the same as the brightness of the light emitted from the LED 421b alone. The dimensions of the four LEDs 422a are smaller than the dimensions of the LEDs 421b, and it is unlikely that the fixing solder will crack. In this way, solder is achieved by substituting large-sized LEDs (electronic components) with multiple small-sized LEDs (electronic components) without reducing the brightness of the light as a whole (without reducing the function). Can be suppressed. Also, the small sized LED 422a is mounted around the mounting position of the LED 421b to be substituted. Therefore, the aspect of the light emitted from the four LEDs 422a and the aspect of the light emitted from the LED 421b alone can be made the same.

  In addition, when it is determined that the possibility of the occurrence of a crack is high in the solder for fixing the resistor 430a provided in the highly curved section 411, the occurrence of the crack is achieved by changing the wiring or the like formed on the substrate body 401a. The resistor 430a can be moved to a difficult position. That is, as shown in FIG. 19B, the mounting position of the resistor 430 a is changed from the high curve section 411 to the low curve section 410. As a result, it is possible to suppress a crack that occurs in the solder that fixes the resistor 430a.

  Moreover, unlike the resistor 430a, when it is difficult to change the mounting position, a plurality of small resistors can be substituted without changing the mounting position. As shown in FIG. 19B, two small resistors 431a can be provided instead of the resistor 430b provided in the highly curved section 411 where the solder is highly likely to be cracked. The two resistors 431a provided alternatively are selected from among those having the combined resistance value similar to the resistance value of the resistor 430b to be substituted. The dimensions of the resistor 431a are smaller than the dimensions of the resistor 430b, and the solder is unlikely to crack. Thus, by substituting a large size resistor (electronic component) with a plurality of small size resistors (electronic component) without changing the resistance value as a whole (without changing the function), Cracks in the solder can be suppressed.

  As described above, changing an electronic component having a large size into a plurality of electronic components having a small size to suppress a crack particularly causes a new curved portion to be formed on the substrate body at the design stage of the LED substrate. The solder crack can be dealt with without making a major design change, for example, when the degree of bending is changed, or unexpected cracks occur after manufacturing. Thus, not only the above-described LED and resistor but also, for example, a capacitor, a connector and the like can be dealt with as an electronic component capable of handling solder cracks.
