JP 2006-346369A

In the above Ki遊 technique machine is provided with a plurality of stepping motors is provided with a plurality of shift registers and drivers for driving a plurality of stepping motors. By the way, when the motor is driven at a temperature higher than the specified temperature, the motor is driven with the phenomenon that the resistance value of the coil of the motor becomes small (short mode). For example, when the resistance value of the motor is 50Ω, the resistance value drops to about 5Ω in the short mode. Since the power supply voltage (for example, +24 V) applied to the motor does not change, there is a problem that a large current flows due to the reduced resistance.

When the large current flows, not only the motor is damaged, but also when the large current flows into the driver, the driver may be damaged, and there may be a problem that the heat generated by the damage may cause an influence. This may cause a reduction in the effect and a secondary failure. In order to prevent a large current from flowing into the driver, it is conceivable to place a fuse at the base of the motor power supply line that supplies the power supply voltage for driving supplied to the motor. When a large current flows and the fuse blows due to heat generation, all the motors cannot be driven. This may cause a reduction in the effect and a secondary failure.

The problem to be solved by the present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and an object of the present invention is to provide a game system capable of avoiding damage to a driver when a large current flows into a driving source. To provide machines.

Based on the control data transmitted from the peripheral control board, based on a control board that controls the rendering unit,
The peripheral control board and the control board are connected to communicatively connect the control data,
The peripheral control board has control data output means for outputting the control data to the control board,
The control board is a gaming machine that is connected to a drive source and includes a plurality of driver circuit units that drive the drive source,
Each of the drive sources driven by the plurality of driver circuit units has a drive source power supply having the same potential as a supply voltage to a drive circuit unit in the main control board through a drive source power supply line connected to the drive source. and the logic circuit by a fuse provided in the control board, a predetermined operating power between the working power supply line and the driving source power supply line to be supplied, characterized in that it is connected.

According to the gaming machine of [Solution 1] , when an overcurrent flows in an operation power supply line corresponding to a damaged drive source when the drive source is damaged, a fuse corresponding to the operation power supply line is driven by a driver circuit. Cuts before the part breaks. Therefore, even when the drive source is damaged, it is possible to avoid the driver circuit portion from being damaged .

[2-9. Lock mechanism for upper hinge member on outer frame side]
Next, in the outer frame 2 of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, FIGS. It will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17A is an enlarged perspective view showing a state in which the main frame side upper hinge member of the main frame is detached from the outer frame side upper hinge member of the outer frame, and FIG. It is a perspective view which expands and shows the state in which the main body side upper hinge member was attached to the hinge member. FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram illustrating the operation of the lock member on the outer frame.

  When the lock member 66 of the outer frame 2 is attached to the front extending portion 62 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 (normal state), the distal end of the elastic portion 66c contacts the inner peripheral surface of the hanging portion 65. The lock body 66a is configured to close a part of the bearing groove 63 bent in a U-shape, and the distal end portion of the lock body 66a does not close the deepest part of the bearing groove 63. In the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63, a space is formed in which the upper hinge pin 622 of the upper hinge member 620 of the main body frame side of the main body frame 4 can be inserted.

  The support mechanism of the body frame upper hinge pin 622 using the outer frame side upper hinge member 60 and the lock member 66 according to the present embodiment includes the front end of the lock body 66a in which the body frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. Of the lock body 66a (in this state, there is a slight gap between the right side surface at the front end of the lock body 66a and the right side hanging portion 65). In the normal shaft support state (not shown), the centers of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame located at the deepest portion of the bent bearing groove 63 and the front end face of the lock main body 66a are opposed to each other in a diagonal direction. It is in a state.

  In this normal pivoting state, since the hinge pin 622 on the body frame that supports the heavy body frame 4 is in contact with the front end portion of the bearing groove 63, the hinge pin on the body frame is There is almost no load on the front end face of the lock body 66a from 622. That is, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66. Since the front end face of the lock body 66a is formed in an arc shape, when the operation part 66b is rotated to rotate the lock member 66, the lock member 66 rotates smoothly. I have. In the figure, the center of the arc of the front end face of the lock body 66a is the center of the mounting hole 66d (the center of rotation of the lock member 66).

  Therefore, when the acting force F is applied in a direction in which the upper hinge pin 622 of the main body frame is pulled out along the inclination of the U-shaped bearing groove 63 and comes into contact with the arc-shaped front end surface of the lock body 66a, the acting force is applied. F, a component force F1 (a normal direction of the arc of the front end face of the lock body 66a) acting on a contact portion between the upper hinge pin 622 of the main body frame and the front end face of the arc shape; And the component force F2 acting on the contact portion with the one side inner surface, the direction of the component force F1 is directed to the center of the mounting hole 66d (the mounting screw 67) (the rotation center of the lock member 66). The moment for rotating the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 in the direction away from the right hanging part 65 does not work, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame moves the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 and one of the bearing grooves 63. Inside Clamped state is maintained between the.

  Therefore, even when the lock member 66 is subjected to the normal pin support state or the action force of the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame, the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 is not always loaded, and is integrally formed of synthetic resin. This prevents the elastic portion 66c from being plastically deformed due to creep, and prevents the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame from dropping out of the bearing groove 63 for a long period of time. Even if an excessive force is applied and the front end of the lock body 66a of the lock member 66 is rotated in the direction to move rightward, the right side of the front end of the lock body 66a abuts the hanging portion 65 and Since it does not rotate, the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension 62.

  In addition, even if the shape of the front end face of the lock body 66a is not arc-shaped, the position where the rotational moment does not occur due to the action of the above-described component force F1 or the front end of the lock member 66 is directed outward of the front extension portion 62. By positioning the rotation center (the shaft fixed by the mounting screw 67) of the lock member 66 at a position where a rotational moment for rotating the lock member 66 is generated, no load is applied to the elastic portion 66c of the lock member 66 at all times. Even if the lock member 66 rotates, the right side surface of the front end of the lock body 66a only abuts the hanging portion 65, so that the lock member 66 does not protrude outside the front extension portion 62.

  When the main frame upper hinge pin 622 of the main frame side upper hinge member 620 is supported by the bearing groove 63 of the outer frame side upper hinge member 60, the main frame is inserted into the bearing groove 63 from the side where the bearing groove 63 is open. Insert the hinge pin 622. When the main frame upper hinge pin 622 is inserted into the bearing groove 63, the main frame upper hinge pin 622 comes into contact with the right side surface of the lock main body 66a of the lock member 66, and the front end of the lock main body 66a is opposed to the urging force of the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates about the mounting screw 67 so as to move to the left. As a result, the lock body 66a, which has closed the bearing groove 63, retreats and the bearing groove 63 is opened, so that the body frame upper hinge pin 622 can be moved to the deepest part (front end) of the bearing groove 63.

  Then, when the main frame upper hinge pin 622 is moved to the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63, the contact between the main frame upper hinge pin 622 and the lock main body 66a of the lock member 66 is released, and the lock main body 66a is urged by the elastic portion 66c. The lock member 66 rotates so that the front end of the lock member 66 moves rightward, and the lock member 66 returns to the normal state. Thus, the upper hinge pin 622 of the main frame is accommodated in a space on the front side of the front end of the lock main body 66 a in the bearing groove 63, and the upper hinge pin 622 is rotatable at the deepest portion of the bearing groove 63. The state is held (locked).

  When removing the upper hinge pin 622 from the inside of the bearing groove 63, the operating portion 66b of the lock member 66 is operated to rotate the lock member 66 so that the front end of the lock main body 66a moves to the left. The lock body 66a is retracted from the bearing groove 63 against the biasing force of 66c. Thus, the deepest part of the bearing groove 63 and the opening are in communication with each other, and the hinge pin 622 on the main body frame can be removed from the bearing groove 63.

The mechanism will be described.

  In the assembled state of the outer frame 2, an outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is attached to a left end portion of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50 in a front view. The horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is mounted in a state of being placed near the left end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50 and the upper surface of the rear extension portion 51. The curtain plate member 50 includes a standing wall portion 54 that rises upward from the rear end of the upper surface. Thus, even if an unauthorized tool such as a piano wire is attempted to enter the rear side of the main body frame 4 (the pachinko machine 1) through the gap between the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the main body frame side lower hinge member 640. Since the tip of the incorrect tool abuts on the standing wall portion 54 extending upward from the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, it is possible to prevent the unauthorized tool from being inserted further to the rear. In addition, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent act from being performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70.

  In addition, since the upper end of the standing wall portion 54 is provided with the return portion 55 extending forward, when an invalid tool that has contacted the standing wall portion 54 bends upward, the return portion 55 causes the tip of the invalid tool to be bent. Can be further folded forward, so that an unauthorized tool can be prevented from entering the rear side of the main body frame 4, and an illegal act is performed through the portion of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70. Can be reliably prevented.

  By the way, in the case where the upright wall portion 54 extending upward is provided at the rear end of the upper surface of the curtain plate member 50, the game sphere is placed on the outer frame side while the main frame 4 is opened with respect to the outer frame 2. When the ball falls on the lower hinge member 70 (horizontal portion 71), the game balls on the horizontal portion 71 are not ejected rearward from the rear end of the horizontal portion 71 due to the presence of the standing wall portion 54, so that the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4 May be trapped between On the other hand, in the present embodiment, the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 and the rear extending portion 51 of the curtain plate member 50 have a discharge hole 74 through which game balls can pass and a left discharge hole 52. , And the right discharge hole 53, the game balls on the horizontal portion 71 of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 can be discharged downward from the discharge hole 74 and the like. It is possible to reduce the possibility that the game ball is caught between them.

  Therefore, when the game ball is sandwiched between the outer frame 2 and the main body frame 4, the periphery of the outer frame side lower hinge member 70 is damaged, or the main body frame 4 is not closed in a normal state and the outer frame 2 is not closed. It is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the main body frame 4 and fraudulent acts using the gap.

I have.

  The handle base 301 of the handle unit 300 has a cylindrical base portion 301a extending forward and backward, a disk-shaped front end portion 301b projecting radially from the front end of the base portion 301a, and a concave portion from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical base portion 301a. And three grooves 301c extending in the axial direction and formed at irregular intervals in the circumferential direction. The outer diameter of the base portion 301 a of the handle base 301 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle mounting member 180. The three groove portions 301c are formed at positions corresponding to the three ridges 183 of the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle mounting member 180. Accordingly, the base 301a can be inserted into the cylindrical portion 181 of the handle mounting member 180 with the three grooves 301c aligned with the three ridges 183, and the ridges 183 are respectively formed in the three grooves 301c. By being inserted, the handle base 301 cannot rotate relative to the handle mounting member 180.

  The handle 302 includes four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d that protrude outward away from the outer peripheral surface in the circumferential direction, and a rotating shaft (shaft member 305). Two slits 302e extending in an arc shape as a center and penetrating in the front-rear direction, and projecting rearward from a position inside the rotation center with respect to the slit 302e, and the other end of the handle return spring 308 is locked. Locking protrusion 302f.

  The four first projections 302a, the second projections 302b, the third projections 302c, and the fourth projections 302d are sequentially provided in a clockwise direction in a front view. More specifically, the first protrusion 302a is formed such that a side surface in a clockwise direction as viewed from the front of a portion most protruding from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 bulges outward, and the first protrusion 302a is located on the opposite side. Side is concave (gouge) so as to curve inward. The second protrusion 302b is such that the portion most protruding from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the most protruding portion of the first protrusion 302a by a clockwise rotation angle of about 85 degrees, and It protrudes slightly lower. The second protrusion 302b has a side surface in the clockwise direction as viewed from the front of the most protruding portion bulging outward, and the opposite side surface in the counterclockwise direction curves inward. And is formed in a shape similar to the first projection 302a.

  The third protrusion 302c is such that the portion most protruding from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the most protruding portion of the second protrusion 302b by a rotation angle of about 70 degrees clockwise, and It protrudes at about half the height. The side surface of the third protrusion 302c is substantially linearly inclined on both sides, and the side surface in the clockwise direction is more gradually inclined than the side surface in the counterclockwise direction, which is the opposite side. The fourth protrusion 302d is such that the portion most protruding from the general outer peripheral surface of the handle 302 is separated from the most protruding portion of the third protrusion 302c by a clockwise rotation angle of about 55 degrees, and is separated from the first protrusion 302a. It protrudes slightly higher. The fourth protrusion 302d has a side surface on both sides inclined substantially linearly, and is formed in a substantially isosceles triangle.

  The handle cover 303 has three mounting bosses 303a that are rounded at the center of the front surface and bulged forward, and protrude rearward. The three mounting bosses 303a penetrate the slit 302e of the handle 302 from the front, and are mounted on the front surface of the handle base 301. Since the mounting boss 303a of the handle cover 303 passes through the slit 302e of the handle 302, the mounting boss 303a comes into contact with the circumferential end of the slit 302e, thereby restricting the rotation angle of the handle 302. In this example, the handle 302 can be rotated within a rotation angle of about 120 degrees.

  The handle unit 300 is attached to the handle attachment seat surface 112 of the door frame base 110 via a handle attachment member 180. The handle mounting seat surface 112 of the door frame base 110 is inclined such that the right end side is located rearward from the left end side in plan view and faces outward (open side). The handle unit 300 that is attached via the outside is also inclined outwardly in plan view (in other words, the tip end is inclined toward the outside of the pachinko machine 1 with respect to a line orthogonal to the front surface of the pachinko machine 1). To be fixed to the door frame 3. This makes it easy for the player to grasp the handle 302 of the handle unit 300, and allows the player to perform the rotation operation without feeling uncomfortable.

  The handle rotation detection sensor 307 of the handle unit 300 is a variable resistor. When the handle 302 is rotated, the detection shaft 307a of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 rotates via the shaft member 305 and the transmission gear 306. The internal resistance of the handlebar rotation detection sensor 307 changes according to the rotation angle of the detection shaft 307a, and the driving force of the firing solenoid 682 in the ball firing device 680 described later changes according to the internal resistance of the handlebar rotation detection sensor 307. The game ball is hit into the game area 5a with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302.

  The outer peripheral surfaces of the handle 302 and the handle cover 303 are plated with a conductive material. When the player comes into contact with the handle 302 or the like, the handle touch sensor 310 detects the contact. When the handle 302 is rotated while the handle touch sensor 310 detects the contact of the player, the detection of the handle rotation detection sensor 307 is received, and the firing solenoid is activated with a strength corresponding to the rotation angle of the handle 302. The drive of 682 is controlled so that a game ball can be driven. That is, even if the player tries to hit the game ball into the game area 5a by rotating the handle 302 in any way without touching the handle 302, the firing solenoid 682 is not driven, and the player can hit the game ball. I cannot do it. Thereby, it is possible to prevent the player from rotating the handle 302 in a different manner from the original and playing the game, and to reduce the load (burden) on the game hall where the pachinko machine 1 is installed. .

  In addition, when the player presses the single-shot button 311 while the player rotates the handle 302, the single-button operation sensor 312 detects the operation of the single-shot button 311 and the firing unit of the payout control board 951 (shown in FIG. ), The rotation drive of the firing solenoid 682 is stopped. Accordingly, the firing of the game ball can be temporarily stopped without returning the rotation operation of the handle 302, and the pressing operation of the single-shot button 311 is performed by releasing the pressing operation of the single-shot button 311. The game ball can be driven into the game area 5a again with the strength.

  Further, the handle unit 300 includes four first protrusions 302a, second protrusions 302b, third protrusions 302c, and fourth protrusions 302d on the handle 302, and rotates the handle 302 most clockwise in a front view. When the game ball is hit most strongly in the game area 5a (so-called "right-handed"), the fourth protrusion 302d is positioned at the first protrusion 302a when the handle 302 is not rotated. By changing the handle 302 with the fourth protrusion 302d as the first protrusion 302a, the player can maintain the handle 302 at the “right-handed” position in a comfortable state, It is possible to reduce the fatigue of the player and to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

In FIG. 45, the area indicated by the dotted line is the remaining space (area) of the mounting space 326j in the plate unit cover 326.

  In the lower plate 322, a lower plate ball supply port 323c of the plate unit base 323 forming the rear wall is opened on the right side of the center of the rear wall in the left-right direction in front view. More specifically, the lower plate ball supply port 323c of the lower plate 322 is connected to the effect operation unit 400, the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a in the plate unit cover 326 (to the right outside of the lower plate opening 326d), and the front end of the lower plate cover 340. It is arranged in the lower plate second area A2, which is on the rear side. Thus, when the door frame 3 is viewed from the front, the lower counter ball supply port 323c is not visible from the player side through the lower tray opening 326d (see FIG. 19 and the like). Therefore, the lower plate 322 is formed so as to go down from the lower plate opening 326d on the left side of the plate unit 320 (plate unit cover 326) bulging forward toward the rear of the rendering operation unit 400, The storage volume of the game ball is formed larger than the range seen from the front. In other words, the lower plate 322 is formed so that the lower plate second region A2 is larger than the lower plate first region A1. Thereby, when the lower plate 322 is viewed from the outside (the player side), more game balls can be stored in the lower plate 322 than it looks.

  As shown in FIG. 41A, the lower plate 322 is such that the right half of the lower plate main body 325 in the left-right direction (lower plate second area A2) has the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a (mounting space 326j) of the plate unit cover 326 as shown in FIG. ), The lower plate cover 340 covers an upper side of a portion of the lower plate main body 325 that protrudes into the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a. The lower plate cover 340 prevents the fingertip from touching the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) when the player inserts a finger into the lower plate 322 through the lower plate opening 326d. can do.

  The lower plate 322 is provided with a lower plate hole 322a vertically penetrating in front of the lower plate supply port 323c in the lower plate second area A2. The bottom surface of the lower plate 322 is inclined so as to become lower toward the lower plate hole 322a. The lower plate ball removing hole 322 a of the lower plate 322 is closed by a lid member 334 that is operated by a pressing operation of the lower plate ball removing button 333 so as to be openable and closable. In the lower plate 322, in a normal state, the lower plate ball hole 322a is closed by the cover member 334, so that game balls can be stored in the lower plate 322. When the lid member 334 is opened by depressing the lower bowl removing button 333, the game balls in the lower bowl 322 can be discharged from the lower bowl removing hole 322a to below the bowl unit 320.

  The lower plate hole 322 a of the lower plate 322 is disposed in front of (directly in front of) the lower plate supply port 323 c of the plate unit base 323 forming the rear wall of the lower plate 322. Therefore, when assembled to the door frame 3, the lower plate hole 322 a is located to the right of the lower plate opening 326 d of the plate unit cover 326 and behind the frame unit 415 in the rendering operation unit 400. It is invisible from the player (front) side.

  As described above, the lower plate 322 has an outer peripheral shape formed by combining a trapezoid whose front side is narrowed on the front side of a square extending left and right, and a bottom plate having a lower plate hole 322a. It is inclined to become lower toward. Therefore, in the state where the lid member 334 is opened and the lower bowl ejection hole 322a is open, the game ball supplied from the lower bowl supply port 323c into the lower bowl 322 is placed directly in front of the lower bowl supply port 323c. It is immediately discharged downward from the opened lower countersunk hole 322a. Since the left end of the lower bowl ejection hole 322a is located slightly to the left of the left end of the lower bowl supply port 323c, when the lower bowl extraction hole 322a is open, the lower bowl supply hole 322a is open. The game balls supplied from the mouth 323c to the lower plate 322 do not directly flow to the region on the left side of the lower plate hole 322a in the lower plate 322, and are discharged from the lower plate hole 322a. Become.

  On the other hand, since the right end of the lower bowl input hole 322c is located to the left of the right end of the lower bowl supply port 323c, the game supplied to the lower bowl 322 from near the right end of the lower bowl supply port 323c. The ball comes into contact with a portion of the main body standing wall portion 325b that forms the right standing wall of the lower plate 322. The right standing wall of the lower plate 322 is curved obliquely with respect to the front-rear direction so as to face the direction of the lower plate hole 322a. When it comes into contact with the inclined portion, the light is reflected in the direction of the lower hole 322a, and is discharged from the lower hole 322a without going to the left side of the lower hole 322a. (See FIG. 45).

  As described above, since the lower plate 322 of the present embodiment is formed so as to guide the game ball supplied from the lower ball supply port 323c to the lower plate hole 322a, the lower plate hole 322a. Is open, the game balls supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c do not enter the area on the left side of the lower dish ball extraction hole 322a of the lower dish 322, but immediately from the lower dish ball extraction hole 322a. It can be discharged downward (dollar box). As a result, when the lower bowl extracting hole 322a is kept open, the game balls flowing on the lower bowl 322 cannot be seen from the player side, and the ball is paid out from the upper bowl 321 or the payout device 830. An illusion that a game ball or the like is directly discharged to a dollar box can be given as an illusion, and by making it difficult for the game ball to feel annoying passing through the lower plate 322, the player can play a game (playing a game ball). And effect images, etc.) can be prevented from decreasing the interest.

  In addition, the lower plate 322 of the present embodiment includes the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A extending upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b. Even if the game balls supplied to the inside of the lower plate 322 bounce and jump, the game balls can be prevented from entering the mounting space 326j from the lower plate 322, and the game balls in the lower plate 322 can be prevented. It is possible to prevent the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) from contacting the rear side. Therefore, the game balls supplied to the lower plate 322 and the game balls stored in the lower plate 322 are prevented from contacting or pressing the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). This can prevent the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) from being damaged by the game ball.

  Further, since the lower plate 322 is provided with the lower plate hole 322a in front of the lower ball supply hole 323c, the lower plate 322 is released from the lower plate supply hole 323c when the lower plate hole 322a is open. It is possible to cause the played game balls to directly enter the lower plate ball removal hole 322a and discharge the balls downward (dollar box), so that the game balls are less likely to reach the front end side of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate body 325. Can be. Also, since the bottom wall 325a of the lower plate main body 325 near the front end of the lower plate 322 becomes higher toward the front, the game ball heading toward the front end side of the main body standing wall 325b of the lower plate main body 325 is inclined. By climbing the bottom surface, the moving speed of the game ball can be attenuated. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the impact when the game balls released into the lower plate 322 from the lower plate ball supply port 323c come into contact with the lower plate covers 340, 340A and the main body standing wall portion 325b, and break them. Can be difficult.

  In the present embodiment, the lid member 334 that closes the lower countersunk hole 322a may be linked to the upper countersunk button 327. As a result, when the upper plate ball removing button 327 is operated, the lid member 334 is also moved to open the lower plate ball removing hole 322a, so that the game balls discharged from the upper plate 321 to the lower plate 322 are further removed. The paper is discharged from the hole 322a to the dollar box below. That is, when the upper plate ball removal button 327 is operated to remove the game ball from the upper plate 321, the game ball of the upper plate 321 is discharged to the dollar box even though the lower plate ball removal button 333 is not operated. Therefore, it is possible to give a strong illusion to the player that the game balls of the upper plate 321 are directly discharged to the dollar box, and the above-described operational effects can be further exhibited. Note that the simultaneous opening of the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322 for removing the balls may be simultaneous opening by driving a drive source such as a motor or a solenoid, or may be simultaneous opening by a mechanical link mechanism.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate cover 340 constituting the lower plate 322 are separately disassembled, but the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate cover 340 are disassembled. It may be an impossible one. Also, an example in which the cover standing wall 340a of the lower plate cover 340 rises from the upper end of the main plate standing wall 325b of the lower plate main body 325 is shown. The cover standing wall portion 340a may rise. In addition, although an example is shown in which the ceiling portion 340b of the lower plate cover 340 extends substantially horizontally from the upper end of the cover standing wall portion 340a, the ceiling portion 340b of the lower plate cover 340 is connected to the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate body 325. You may make it extend substantially horizontally from an upper end.

  Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the example in which the relief portion 322b for avoiding the contact of the lower plate 322 with the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) is provided, but the relief portion 322b is not provided. The lower plate 322 may be used.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the lower plate 322 (the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the like) has a uniform planar shape without a through hole, but a plurality of penetrating holes through which game balls cannot pass. It may be one having a hole formed. Specifically, at least a part of the bottom wall 325a, the main body standing wall 325b, the cover standing wall 340a, the ceiling 340b, and the like of the lower plate 322 is formed in a fence shape having a gap through which a game ball cannot pass. They may be formed in a net or net shape. Note that a light-emitting body such as an LED may be arranged in the plate unit cover 326 (mounting space 326j), and the inside of the lower plate 322 may be illuminated (light-emitting decoration) through a fence-like or mesh-like gap of the lower plate 322. .

  In the present embodiment, the lower plate 322 is formed by the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 (lower plate cover portion 326k) formed separately. However, the four members may be integrated in an appropriate combination to form the lower plate 322. Specifically, the lower plate cover 340 and the lower plate body 325 are integrated, the lower plate cover 340 and the lower plate unit cover 326 are integrated, and the lower plate body 325 and the lower plate unit cover 326 are integrated. An integrated one, a lower plate cover 340 and a plate unit base 323 integrated, a lower plate main body 325 and a plate unit base 323 integrated, a plate unit base 323 and a plate unit cover 326; Are integrated, the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit base 323 are integrated, and the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate cover 340, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated. The lower plate cover 340, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit cover 326 are integrated, the lower plate body 325, the plate unit base 323, and the plate unit That the Tokaba 326 are integrated, that a lower tray body 325 and Shitasara cover 340 and tray unit base 323 and dish unit cover 326 is integrated, it may be like.

[3-3b-1. Ball guiding part of lower plate]
An embodiment in which the lower plate 322 of the plate unit 320 includes a ball guiding portion 322c for guiding a game ball from the lower plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball hole 322a will be described in detail with reference to FIG. . FIG. 46 (a) is an explanatory diagram schematically showing an example in which a lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion, and FIG. 46 (b) is a schematic diagram showing an example in which a lower plate is provided with a ball guiding portion different from (a). FIG. 8C is an explanatory view schematically showing an example provided with a further different ball guiding section. In FIG. 46, the same components as those described above are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46A, the diameter of the lower plate hole 322a is substantially the same as the diameter of the lower plate hole 322a on the bottom surface of the lower plate 322 between the lower plate supply hole 323c and the lower hole 322a. It has a pair of ball guiding portions 322c that are arranged left and right at a distance. The pair of ball guiding portions 322c is formed in a rail shape (projection) extending forward and backward while protruding from the bottom surface of the lower plate 322. Further, the lower plate 322 is inclined such that the bottom surface becomes lower toward the lower plate ball hole 322a. Therefore, the game ball supplied from the lower bowl supply port 323c into the lower bowl 322 is guided to the lower bowl extracting hole 322a by the pair of ball guiding parts 322c without going over the ball guiding part 322c, It is discharged downward (dollar box) from the hole 322a.

  Similarly, the lower plate 322 of this example has a lower plate ball supply port 323c and a lower plate ball in the rear (lower plate second area A2) on the right side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326. The holes 322a are arranged linearly in the front-rear direction. Therefore, the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball removal hole 322a are located behind the covering wall such as the front end side of the effect operation unit 400, the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a in the dish unit cover 326, and the lower dish cover 340. It is invisible from the front.

  As described above, since the lower dish 322 of the present example is provided with the pair of ball guiding portions 322c, the game balls supplied from the lower dish ball supply port 323c in a state where the lower dish extraction hole 322a is open. Can be immediately discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower plate hole 322a without entering the lower plate 322 into the region on the left side of the lower plate hole 322a. Since the player cannot see the game balls circulating on the lower plate 322, the illusion that the upper plate 321 and the game balls dispensed from the dispensing device 830 are directly discharged to the dollar box. It is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, so that the player can concentrate on the game (such as the operation of hitting the game ball and the effect image) to suppress a decrease in interest. Can be.

  In the example of FIG. 46 (a), the ball guiding portion 322c has a rail shape, but the ball guiding portion 322c is not limited to this. What is necessary is just to be able to be guided to the countersunk hole 322a.

  Next, in the example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46B, a game ball discharged diagonally forward right from the lower plate ball supply port 323c passes through the right wall of the lower plate ball hole 322a in the lower plate 322. The ball is formed in such a shape as to reflect in the direction of the lower bowl extraction hole 322a, and is provided with a buffer 322d at a position where the game ball contacts. The buffer 322d is formed of rubber, foam, or the like.

  In the same manner as described above, the lower plate 322 of this example is also provided with a lower plate hole 322a in front of the lower plate supply port 323c, and the bottom surface of the lower plate 322 is lowered toward the lower plate hole 322a. It is inclined to become. Therefore. The game balls released straight forward from the lower bowl supply port 323c are directly discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower bowl extracting hole 322a. On the other hand, the game ball discharged to the right front from the lower bowl feeding port 323c is reflected by the buffer 322d in the direction of the lower bowl extracting hole 322a, and discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower bowl extracting hole 322a. Is done. At this time, since the game ball comes into contact with the buffer 322d and is reflected, the collision sound at the time of reflection is reduced.

  Further, similarly to the above, the lower plate 322 of this example is also on the right side of the lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326 (the rendering operation unit 400 and the rendering operation in the plate unit cover 326 which are the lower plate second area A2). It is disposed behind the covering wall such as the unit mounting portion 326a and the front end side of the lower plate cover 340, and is not visible from the front.

  As described above, since the lower plate 322 of the present example includes the buffer portion 322d on the wall that reflects the game ball, even when the game ball is not discharged straight forward from the lower plate ball supply port 323c, The buffer portion 322d allows the sound to be reflected in the direction of the lower bowl drain hole 322a without sound and discharged downward (dollar box). Therefore, when the game balls and the like dispensed from the upper plate 321 and the dispensing device 830 are discharged to the dollar box, the collision sound of the game balls from the lower plate 322 is not heard, so that the ball is directly discharged to the dollar box. By making it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, the player can concentrate on the game (such as the operation of hitting the game ball and the effect image) to suppress a decrease in interest. Can be done.

  Next, an example of the lower plate 322 in FIG. 46C is a portion of the bottom surface (bottom wall 325a) of the lower plate 322 opposite to the lower plate supply port 323c with the lower plate hole 322a interposed therebetween. And a return portion 322e that reflects the game ball, which protrudes upward from the lower ball drain hole 322a and jumps over the lower ball drain hole 322a, toward the lower ball drain hole 322a. The return portion 322e may be made of the same material as the material forming the lower plate 322, or may be made of a cushioning material such as rubber or foam, which alleviates a collision sound at the time of reflection. Further, the return portion 322e may not constitute the side wall of the lower plate 322 or may constitute a part of the side wall of the lower plate 322 (the main body standing wall portion 325b).

  In this lower plate 322, a lower plate ball supply port 323c, a lower plate ball hole 322a, and a return portion 322e are arranged linearly in order from the rear to the front, and the lower plate 326 of the plate unit cover 326 is arranged. To the rear of the opening 326d on the right side (behind the effect operation unit 400, which is the lower plate second area A2, the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a in the plate unit cover 326, and the front wall of the lower plate cover 340, etc.). It is arranged and cannot be seen from the front. In this lower plate 322, even if a game ball flowing from the lower plate ball supply port 323c to the lower plate ball hole 322a jumps over the lower ball hole 322a, the return portion 322e causes the lower ball hole 322a to be closer to the lower plate hole 322a. And can be discharged downward (dollar box) from the lower countersunk hole 322a. Therefore, the same operation and effect as described above can be obtained.

  In the present embodiment, the above-described ball guiding section 322c and the buffer section 322d may be appropriately combined with the lower plate 322. Thereby, the same operation and effect as described above can be obtained.

[3-3b-2. Another embodiment of lower plate]
Another embodiment of the lower plate 322 of the plate unit 320 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 47 (a) is an explanatory view schematically showing a lower plate which can be divided, and FIG. 47 (b) schematically shows a state where the storage area of the lower plate is expanded according to the size of the space behind the effect operation unit. It is explanatory drawing which shows, and (c) is explanatory drawing which shows the lower plate of (b) by a schematic perspective view. The lower plate 322 shown in FIG. 47 is configured such that the lower plate main body 325 can be divided at a dividing line PL arranged in the lower plate second region A2. In FIG. 47, the area indicated by the dotted hatching indicates the remaining space of the mounting space 326j.

  First, the lower plate main body 325 (lower plate 322) shown in FIG. 47 (a) forms a part of the lower plate first region A1 and a part of the lower plate second region A2, and has a lower plate ball hole 322a. It comprises a main body 325A and a first extension 325B attached to the right side of the main body 325A and constituting the remaining area of the lower second plate area A2.

(Space behind). As shown, the first extension portion 325B is formed so that the width in the left-right direction increases from the front to the rear. In addition, the first extension portion 325B has a relief portion 322b at the right front corner for avoiding contact with the second effect operation unit 400A.

  Next, in the examples of FIGS. 47 (b) and 47 (c), the rear end of the rendering operation unit 400 does not protrude rearward from the front end of the lower plate 322, and is thus less than the example of FIG. 47 (a). The space behind the effect operation unit 400 (the remaining space of the mounting space 326j) is large. The lower plate main body 325 (lower plate 322) includes a lower plate first region A1 and a part of the lower plate second region A2, and a main body 325A having a lower plate ball hole 322a. A second extension 325C, which is attached to the right side of the portion 325A and constitutes the remaining area of the lower plate second area A2, is larger than the first extension 325B. As shown in the drawing, the second extension 325C has a constant width in the left-right direction from the front end to the rear end, and has a larger storage area for game balls than the first extension 325B. The lower plate 322 is provided with a lower plate cover 340A having a shape corresponding to the shape of the second extension 325C (see FIG. 47 (c)).

  In the example shown in FIG. 47, by attaching the first extension portion 325B and the second extension portion 325C to the main body 325A, the storage areas of the respective game balls become continuous (communicated), and the storage area of the game balls is provided. Expands. The boundary between the main body 325A and the first extension 325B or the second extension 325C is a dividing line PL. Further, the first extension portion 325B and the second extension portion 325C of the lower plate main body 325 communicate with a predetermined gap (between the mounting space 326j) between the effect operation unit 400 and the rear surface of the second effect operation unit 400A. (Space).

  As described above, in the above example, the lower plate main body 325 (the lower plate 322) is configured to be dividable, and at least one of the divided members is replaceable. The storage area can be made larger or smaller as needed. Further, since the lower plate main body 325 (lower plate 322) is configured to be dividable, it projects to the rear (in the mounting space 326j) of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) attached to the plate unit cover 326. An extension portion (first extension portion 325B or second extension portion 325C) having a size corresponding to the amount can be attached.

  In the above embodiment, the dividing line PL is arranged in the lower plate second area A2 behind the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A). It may be arranged on the boundary between the first dish area A1 and the second dish area A2, or may be arranged in the first dish area A1.

  In the above embodiment, the lower plate main body 325 (the lower plate 322) is provided with the lower plate hole 322a in the main body 325A. A lower countersunk hole 322a may be provided.

  In the above-described embodiment, the first extension portion 325B and the second extension portion 325C are mounted on the right side of the main body portion 325A of the lower plate main body 325. You may make it attach a flat-plate-shaped closing member which does not have a storage area.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the lower plate main body 325 in the lower plate 322 has been described. However, the lower plate cover 340 can be divided similarly to the lower plate main body 325, or the first additional portion 325B and the second additional portion The shape may be adjusted to the size of 325C.

In a normal state (a state where the operation button 410 is not pressed), the effect operation unit 400 causes the front end of the flange portion 413 b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 to be moved by the urging force of the operation button spring 438. The rear surface of the frame body 416 is in contact with a portion near the central opening 416a.

  In the effect operation unit 400, in the normal state, the center side (the center axis CL side) of the operation button 410 from near the inner periphery of the button frame 412 projects forward from the center opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415. I have. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved shape (a part of a substantially spherical shape) of the operation button 410, a portion projecting forward from the inner periphery (inside) of the button frame 412. , Protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415 (see FIG. 51 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 in the frame unit 415 is set to about 15 cm, and the button lens 411 (the front end) of the frame unit It projects about 4 cm forward from the front of 415.

  In a normal state, when the player presses the operation button 410 of the staging operation unit 400, the operation button 410 moves rearward along the center axis CL against the urging force of the operation button spring 438. Then, when the rear end of the operation button 410 abuts on the front surface of the unit base 431 of the base unit 430, the backward movement is restricted, and the backward movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the player presses the button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface).

  Since the operation button 410 has an extremely large outer diameter as compared with the operation button for effect provided in the conventional pachinko machine, the vicinity of the periphery of the button lens 411 away from the center portion is pressed. Likely to be. More specifically, the operation buttons for effects in a conventional pachinko machine are mounted so that the central axis extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, whereas the operation buttons 410 of the effect operation unit 400 of the present embodiment are attached. Since the center axis CL is inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from above similarly to the conventional pachinko machine, as shown by a white arrow in FIG. A part of the operation button 410 away from the center axis CL is pressed.

  By the way, the operation button for the effect in the conventional pachinko machine, since the surface pressed by the player is formed on a flat surface, when the operation button is enlarged while the pressed portion is made a flat surface However, if a part deviating from the center of the operation button is pressed, the surface to be pressed is inclined so that the pressed part retreats first, and the operation button cannot be receded straight. There is a possibility that the pressing operation cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 according to the present embodiment has a curved surface shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface) in which the part (the button lens 411) pressed by the player bulges forward. Therefore, when a position distant from the center of the operation button 410 is pressed, the force is distributed to the entire operation button 410, making it difficult for the operation button 410 to tilt and moving the operation button 410 straight backward. Can be. Therefore, no matter which position on the front side of the operation button 410 is pressed, the operation button 410 can smoothly retreat without tilting, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected and the operation button 410 can be pressed. It is possible to enjoy the operation to be operated sufficiently.

  In addition, the effect operation unit 400 has a vibration motor 424 attached to the lower part of the front surface of the substrate base 421 of the decorative substrate unit 420, and as described above, only the upper part is panned so that the effect operation unit 400 is suspended. Since the vibration is generated by rotating the weight 424a by the vibration motor 424 because the vibration is generated by the vibration motor 424 because the vibration is generated at the part farthest from the mounted part, since it is mounted on the production operation unit mounting part 326a of the unit cover 326. In addition, the whole of the effect operation unit 400 can be vibrated greatly (strongly), and the vibration can be transmitted to the player touching the effect operation unit 400. In addition, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below a position where the player can relatively easily perform the pressing operation (the position indicated by the white arrow in FIG. 61), the player who is pressing the operation button 410 can be operated. Strong vibration can be transmitted, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Further, the rendering operation unit 400 is attached to the plate unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the lower surface of the leg 442a of the relay board cover 442 forming the lower surface and the bottom plate of the plate unit cover 326. Since a gap is formed between the upper surface of the portion 326i and the lower surface of the leg portion 442a when the operation button 410 is strongly pressed or hit, the frame is in contact with the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i. The impact can be absorbed by the downward bending of the attachment portion 416e of the unit 415, the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the plate unit cover 326, and the like. Further, after the lower surface of the leg portion 442a contacts the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 326i, the downward movement of the rendering operation unit 400 is restricted, and the rendering portion 416e of the frame unit 415 and the rendering operation unit mounting of the plate unit cover 326 are attached. It is possible to prevent an excessive force from acting on the portion 326a and the like, and it is possible to prevent the effect operation unit 400 and the like from being damaged. Therefore, even when the operation button 410 is pressed or struck with a strong force, for example, when an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the effect operation unit 400 is presented to the player, the operation button 410 or the effect operation unit Since 400 and the like are not damaged, it is possible to avoid interruption of the game due to the damage, it is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the player, and to increase the burden on the game hall side by making it hard to be damaged. Can be suppressed.

  As described above, since the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 pressed by the player is formed in a curved surface shape protruding forward (a part of a substantially spherical surface), the button lens 411 is formed in a flat plate shape. As compared with the case, the strength and rigidity are higher, and even if the player is hit hard, the impact can be dispersed to the entire button lens 411, so that the button lens 411 is hardly damaged.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 63, the effect operation unit 400 is configured such that the button lens 411, the frame side lens 417, the frame top lens 418, and the decoration member 432 inside the operation button are formed of transparent members. The decoration by unevenness such as the first button decoration 411a, the second button decoration 411b, the first button decoration 432f, and the second button decoration 432g formed on the back side is the front side (the player side). ). In addition, since light is complicatedly refracted due to the change in plate thickness in the portion where the uneven decoration is formed, the rear side is difficult to visually recognize through the portion where the uneven decoration is formed. .

  Since the effect operation unit 400 includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 to the center of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, the unevenness of the first button decoration portion 411a is decorated. This makes it hard to see the rear part at the outer peripheral part of the part inside the button lens 411. Behind the portion where the first button decoration portion 411a is formed (rearward in the direction of the center axis CL), the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the peripheral wall portion of the operation button inner decoration member 432 A gap between the outer peripheral surface of the operation button inner decorative member 432 and the outer peripheral surface of the operation button inner decorative member 432 is located from the front side (player side) by the first button decoration portion 411a located in front of the gap. It can be difficult to see. This makes it possible to prevent the appearance of the operation button 410 from deteriorating even if the operation button 410 that can be pressed is provided with the in-operation button decoration member 432 whose position is fixed. It is possible to prevent the player from feeling uncomfortable, and it is possible to arrange the in-operation button decoration member 432 within the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, so that the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved.

  More specifically, the effect operation unit 400 is configured such that the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, and the button frame 412 form the outer periphery of the operation button interior decoration member 432 of the base unit 430. The unit base 431, the decorative board unit 420, and the like, which are further outside and on the rear side (rear side), are formed so as not to be seen from the player side through the transparent button lens 411. Specifically, in FIG. 62, the cross-hatched area surrounded by the dashed line is not seen from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, the outside and the back side of the inside decoration member 432 of the operation button are hidden and hidden. This makes it possible to improve the appearance of the operation buttons 410 and, consequently, the overall effect operation unit 400.

  In the effect operation unit 400, the first button decoration portion 411a of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 extends toward the center axis CL of the operation button 410 and is arranged in a row in the circumferential direction. Thus, the second in-button decoration portion 432g formed on the front plate portion 432b of the in-operation button decoration member 432 disposed inside and behind the operation button 410 extends in an octagonal shape centered on the center axis CL. As shown in FIG. 63, the uneven line of the first button decorative portion 411a and the uneven line of the second button internal decorative portion 432g intersect with each other, as shown in FIG. The decoration can be shown to the player.

  Further, in the effect operation unit 400, since the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated in the front-back direction (the direction in which the center axis CL extends), the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated from each other. With the second button interior decoration section 432g, a three-dimensional geometric pattern with depth can be shown to the player, and the decoration including the operation button 410 can be enjoyed.

  Furthermore, in the effect operation unit 400, since the first button decoration part 411a and the second button decoration part 432g are separated in the front-back direction, when the position of the eyes of the player moves, the unevenness of the first button decoration part 411a is increased. Since the degree of overlap between the line and the uneven line of the second button interior decoration portion 432g is changed, the player can see the moving decoration and entertain the player.

  In this manner, the effect operation unit 400 provides the player with a three-dimensional decoration with movement by the first button decoration part 411a of the operation button 410 and the second button decoration part 432g of the operation button decoration member 432.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the front surface of the frame unit 415 (the surface formed by the inner periphery of the front end of the central opening 416a of the frame main body 416) is parallel to the inclined surface of the front end opening of the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a. It is installed so that it becomes. As a result, the second effect operation unit 400A changes the center axis CL (see FIG. 67) of the transparent operation button 410 bulging forward in a curved shape (a part of a substantially spherical shape) into a vertical line. It is inclined at an angle of 63 degrees so as to move upward as it goes forward. Accordingly, when a player sits in front of the pachinko machine 1 to play a game using the pachinko machine 1, the head of the player is disposed above the plate unit 320 (second effect operation unit 400A). Since the game board 5 is located in front of the center of the game area 5a, the central axis CL of the operation button 410 passes near the head of the player. Therefore, when the player drops his or her line of sight from the game area 5a to the second effect operation unit 400A (operation button 410), the operation button 410 can reach its front view (projection viewed from a direction parallel to the central axis CL). , And the operation button 410 and the second effect display device 460A on the door frame side in the operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, the button shafts 452 held in the four holding holes 451d of the unit base 451 of the second base unit 450 slide on the four cylindrical guide bosses 413c of the operation buttons 410, respectively. It is movably inserted and is urged forward by an operation button spring (not shown). In a normal state (a state in which the operation button 410 is not pressed), the second effect operation unit 400 </ b> A causes the front end of the flange portion 413 b of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 to be moved by the urging force of the operation button spring. Of the frame main body 416 in the vicinity of the central opening 416a.

  In the normal state, the second effect operation unit 400A is configured such that the center side (the center axis CL side) of the operation button 410 near the inner periphery of the button frame 412 is forward from the center opening 416a of the frame main body 416 in the frame unit 415. It is protruding. In other words, in the transparent button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved shape (a part of a substantially spherical shape) of the operation button 410, a portion protruding forward from the inner periphery (inside) of the button frame 412. , Protrudes forward from the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 of the frame unit 415 (see FIG. 67 and the like).

  Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the diameter of the central opening 416a of the frame body 416 in the frame unit 415 is set to about 15 cm, and the button lens 411 (the front end) of the frame unit It projects about 4 cm forward from the front of 415.

  In a normal state, when the player presses the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A, the operation button 410 moves rearward along the center axis CL against the urging force of the operation button spring. When the rear end of the operation button 410 abuts on the front surface of the main body 451a of the unit base 451 of the second base unit 450, the movement of the operation button 410 is stopped, and the movement of the operation button 410 is stopped. When the player presses the operation button 410, the player presses the button lens 411 bulging forward in a curved shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface).

  Since the operation button 410 has an extremely large outer diameter as compared with the operation button for effect provided in the conventional pachinko machine, the vicinity of the periphery of the button lens 411 away from the center portion is pressed. Likely to be. To be more specific, the operation button for effect in the conventional pachinko machine is mounted so that the central axis thereof extends substantially parallel to the vertical line, whereas the operation button of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment is operated. Since the button 410 is attached such that the central axis CL is inclined with respect to the vertical line, when the player presses the operation button 410 from above similarly to the conventional pachinko machine, the button 410 is separated from the central axis CL of the operation button 410. The part is pressed (see FIG. 61).

  By the way, the operation button for the effect in the conventional pachinko machine, since the surface pressed by the player is formed on a flat surface, when the operation button is enlarged while the pressed portion is made a flat surface However, if a part deviating from the center of the operation button is pressed, the surface to be pressed is inclined so that the pressed part retreats first, and the operation button cannot be receded straight. There is a possibility that the pressing operation cannot be performed.

  On the other hand, the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A of the present embodiment has a curved surface shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface) in which the part (the button lens 411) pressed by the player is pressed forward. When the operation button 410 is pressed at a position distant from the center of the operation button 410, the force is distributed over the entire operation button 410, making it difficult for the operation button 410 to tilt, and moving the operation button 410 straight backward. can do. Therefore, no matter which position on the front side of the operation button 410 is pressed, the operation button 410 can smoothly retreat without tilting, so that the pressing operation can be reliably detected and the operation button 410 can be pressed. It is possible to enjoy the operation to be operated sufficiently.

  In addition, the second effect operation unit 400A is configured such that the vibration effect motor 424 is attached to the lower part of the front surface of the substrate base 421 of the decorative substrate unit 420, and the second effect operation unit 400A is suspended as described above. Since only the upper portion is attached to the effect operation unit attachment portion 326a of the plate unit cover 326, when the vibration 424 rotates the weight 424a to generate vibration, the vibration is generated at a portion farthest from the attached portion. As a result, the entire second effect operation unit 400A can be vibrated greatly (strongly), and the vibration can be transmitted to the player touching the second effect operation unit 400A. Further, since the vibration motor 424 is disposed immediately below a position where the player can relatively easily press the operation button (near the upper portion of the operation button 410), a strong vibration is applied to the player pressing the operation button 410. Can be transmitted, and the player can be surprised and entertained.

  Further, the second effect operation unit 400A is attached to the plate unit cover 326 in a suspended state, and the projector mounting member 505 of the second effect display device 460A on the door frame side and the bottom plate of the plate unit cover 326 are provided. The buffer unit 510 is disposed between the upper surface of the portion 326i. The cushioning unit 510 includes a cushioning member 511 that can be elastically deformed, and forms a gap between the main body portion 512a with which the cushioning member 511 contacts the upper surface and the bottom plate portion 326i of the plate unit cover 326. Therefore, when the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is strongly pressed or hit downward, the shock is multi-staged by the elastic deformation (compression) of the buffer member 511 or the bending of the main body 512a of the buffer base 512. It can be absorbed, and it can be prevented that an unreasonable force acts on the attachment part 416e of the frame unit 415 and the effect operation unit attachment part 326a of the plate unit cover 326, and the second effect operation unit 400A is damaged. Can be prevented. Therefore, even if the operation button 410 or the frame unit 415 is pressed or struck with a strong force, for example, when an effect of pressing the operation button 410 of the second effect operation unit 400A is presented to the player, the operation is performed. Since the button 410, the second production operation unit 400A, and the like are not damaged, the interruption of the game due to the damage can be avoided, and a decrease in the interest of the player can be suppressed. It is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the gaming hall side.

  In addition, since the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 pressed by the player is formed in a curved surface shape (a part of a substantially spherical surface) protruding forward, the button lens 411 is compared with a flat plate shape. The strength and rigidity of the button lens 411 are increased, and the impact can be dispersed to the entire button lens 411 even when the button lens 411 is strongly hit, so that the button lens 411 is hardly damaged.

  In the second effect operation unit 400A, since the button lens 411, the frame side lens 417, and the frame top lens 418 are formed of transparent members, the first button decoration portion formed on the back side thereof. The decoration by unevenness such as 411a and the second button decoration 411b can be visually recognized from the front side (player side) (see FIG. 63). In addition, since light is complicatedly refracted due to the change in plate thickness in the portion where the uneven decoration is formed, the rear side is difficult to visually recognize through the portion where the uneven decoration is formed. .

  Since the second effect operation unit 400A includes the first button decoration portion 411a extending from the inner periphery of the button frame 412 of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 to the center side, a plurality of the first button decoration portions 411a are provided. It is possible to make the rear of the button lens 411 hard to see behind at the outer peripheral portion of the portion inside the button lens 411 by the decoration of unevenness combining the triangles. Behind the portion where the first button decoration portion 411a is formed (rearward in the direction of the center axis CL), the inner peripheral surface of the main body portion 413a of the button base 413 of the operation button 410 and the second effect display device on the door frame side. A gap between the outer periphery of the screen unit 470 and the outer periphery of the screen unit 470 is located from the front side (player side) by the first button decoration part 411a located in front of the gap. Can be made difficult to see. Thereby, even if the door frame side second effect display device 460A is provided in the operation button 410 which can be pressed, the appearance of the operation button 410 can be prevented from being deteriorated, and the player who has seen the operation button 410 can In addition to preventing discomfort, the door effect side display device 460A can be arranged in the transparent operation button 410 without any problem, and the appearance of the operation button 410 can be improved.

  More specifically, the second effect operation unit 400A includes a first button decoration portion 411a, a second button decoration portion 411b, and a button frame 412 of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410, in the door frame side second effect display device 460A. The second base unit 450, the upper shaft member 473, the lower shaft member 474, and the like, which are on the rear side (rear side) outside the outer periphery of the main screen 471, the sub screen 472, and the like, from the player side through the transparent button lens 411. It is formed so that it cannot be seen. Specifically, in the state of the first position where the main screen 471 of the screen unit 470 is directed forward, the upper and lower outer sides of the main screen 471, the left outer side of the peripheral decorative portion 472a of the sub-screen 472, and the right side of the peripheral decorative member 478. The outside portion (the cross hatched portion surrounded by a dashed line in FIG. 76) is not seen from the player side.

  On the other hand, in the state of the second position where the sub-screen 472 of the screen unit 470 is directed forward, the portion outside the annular peripheral decoration portion 472a of the sub-screen 472 (the cross-hatched portion surrounded by a dashed line in FIG. 76). ) Is hidden from the player side. As described above, since the operation button 410 includes the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b, the button frame 412, and the like, the outside and the back side of the main screen 471 and the sub-screen 472 are hardly seen. It can be hidden, and the appearance of the operation buttons 410, and thus the entire second effect operation unit 400A, can be improved.

  When the main screen 471 is in the first position in which the main screen 471 faces the front, the first button decoration portion 411a, the second button decoration portion 411b of the button lens 411, the button frame 412, and the like allow the screen portion 472b of the sub-screen 472 to move. In addition, the sub-screen decorative member 476, the upper shaft member 473, and the lower shaft member 474 are hard to see (see FIG. 76). This makes it difficult for the player to notice the existence of the sub-screen 472, the fact that the main screen 471 is rotatable, and the like. Therefore, when the screen unit 470 is rotated to switch from the main screen 471 to the sub-screen 472, the operation By performing a motion that exceeds the player's expectation within the button 410, a strong impact can be given to the player, and the player can be entertained and a decrease in interest can be suppressed.

The device 460A is provided with a peripheral decorative portion 472a of the sub-screen 472 in which a plurality of square pyramids are arranged and a peripheral decorative member 478. As a result, the triangle decoration (first button decoration part 411a) arranged on the front side and the quadrilateral decoration (peripheral decoration part 472a and the peripheral decoration member 478) arranged on the rear side overlap so as to intersect. As a result, a complicated geometric pattern can be shown to the player, and the appearance can be improved to suppress a decrease in interest of the player.

  Further, as described above, the first button decoration 411a mainly composed of a triangle and the peripheral decoration 472a and the peripheral decoration member 478 mainly composed of a square are separated in the front-rear direction, so that the player's eyes can be seen. As the position moves, the degree of overlap changes, so that the overlapping geometrical pattern changes, allowing the player to see the moving decoration and the decoration with a three-dimensional feeling with depth. Can be shown to entertain the player.

  Further, in the second effect display device 460A on the door frame side arranged behind the operation button 410, the screen unit 470 is rotated by the drive of the switching drive motor 492 to turn the main screen 471 forward or the sub screen. 472 can be turned forward, and the decoration consisting of a plurality of squares can be changed. More specifically, in a state where the main screen 471 is directed forward, as shown in FIG. 74 (a), the peripheral decorative portion 472a and the peripheral decorative member 478 are vertically extended while being separated to the left and right. The decoration made up of a plurality of square pyramids arranged in a row forms a geometric pattern decoration that vertically traverses the decoration made up of a plurality of triangles arranged in an annular shape of the first button decoration portion 411a of the button lens 411. Can be shown to players. On the other hand, in a state where the sub-screen 472 is directed forward, as shown in FIG. 74 (b), the peripheral decoration portion 472a is in a state of being extended in an annular shape, and is an ornament composed of a plurality of square pyramids arranged in an annular shape. However, it is possible to show the player a geometric pattern decoration that overlaps the decoration made up of a plurality of triangles arranged in an annular shape of the first button decoration portion 411a of the button lens 411. Therefore, by rotating the screen unit 470, the decoration (physical decoration) of the operation button 410 can be changed, so that the change in the decoration attracts the player's interest to the operation button 410 or the decoration of the operation button 410.

[3-8. Effect of door frame]
The operation and effect of the door frame 3 will be described. In the door frame 3 of the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the through-hole 111 penetrating the door frame base 110 in the door frame base unit 100 before and after the door frame base 110 is made larger in the vertical and horizontal directions than the conventional pachinko machine. The height of the plate unit 320 and the door frame top unit 570 in the vertical direction is reduced in accordance with the enlargement of the through hole 111, and the width of the door frame left side unit 530 and the door frame right side unit 550 in the left and right direction. Is smaller. Thereby, the front surface of the game board 5 (game area 5a) attached to the main body frame 4 can be seen from the player (front) as widely as possible through the through-hole 111 (glass unit 190). , Corresponding to the game board 5 having a large game area 5a.

  The door frame 3 is a rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A) having a large hemispherical operation button 410 at the center in the left-right direction of the plate unit 320 bulging forward below the through-hole 111. The front surface of the lower half (the lower part than the upper plate 321) (the front surface of the lower plate front decorative portion 326 c) on both left and right sides of the effect operation unit 400 is recessed so as to go backwards (the plate unit). The front surface of the left and right ends of the rendering operation unit 400 is formed in a concavely curved shape such that the front surfaces of the left and right sides of the rendering operation unit 400 are located rearward than a straight line connecting the front ends of the left and right ends of the rendering operation unit 400. ing. As a result, the effect operation unit 400 attached to the front surface at the center in the left-right direction of the plate unit 320 appears to protrude significantly forward, so that the effect operation unit 400 is emphasized and emphasized to the player. Thus, the effect operation unit 400 can be strongly noticed.

  The door frame 3 inclines the effect operation unit 400 disposed on the front surface of the plate unit 320 below the through-hole 111 so that the large hemispherical transparent operation button 410 faces obliquely upward and forward. When the player sits down in front of the pachinko machine 1, the operation button 410 is turned to the head (face) of the player, and the player drops his / her gaze to activate the staging operation unit 400. When viewed, the operation buttons 410 can be seen almost in front, so that the large and round operation buttons 410 can be intensely visually recognized, and the sense of expectation for the effect using the operation buttons 410 can be increased. At the same time, the effect image displayed on the door frame side effect display device 460 disposed in the transparent operation button 410 can be visually recognized in a good state, and the effect image can be sufficiently enjoyed. Maseru can be.

  Further, since the door frame 3 is provided with the operation button 410 having a diameter substantially the same as the overall height of the plate unit 320 and bulging forward and round, when the operation button 410 is operated, the hand is moved by a short distance. Any part of the operation button 410 can be touched, and the operation button 410 can be “rapidly pressed” relatively easily. In addition, since the operation button 410, which has a large diameter and bulges forward and is round, is mounted in an inclined state, it can be pressed from above like the operation button of the conventional pachinko machine, as well as left and right. , Or from the front, and the operation using the operation buttons 410 can be more enjoyed by the operation buttons 410 with good operability.

  In addition, the door frame 3 has the effect operation unit 400 attached by the plate unit 320 in a suspended state, and has a vibration motor 424 that generates vibration at a lower portion of the effect operation unit 400. When the vibration is generated by rotating the vibration motor 424 according to the state, a strong vibration can be transmitted to the hand of the player touching the upper part of the operation button 410, and the operation button is surprised. The effect using 410 can be further enjoyed.

  Further, since the door frame 3 is provided with a large operation button 410 (production operation unit 400) over the entire height of the plate unit 320 in the center of the front of the plate unit 320, the upper plate 321 is compared with the conventional pachinko machine. The lower plate 322 below the lower palate becomes less noticeable, which makes it easier for a player who is familiar with the conventional pachinko machine to recognize that the pachinko machine is clearly different, which appeals to the player's interest. The pachinko machine 1 having high power can be obtained.

  In addition, the door frame 3 is formed so that the lower plate 322 wraps around the lower part of the effect operation unit 400 with respect to the lower plate opening 326 d that is open on the left side of the effect operation unit 400 on the front surface of the plate unit 320. Therefore, the volume of the lower plate 322 can be increased with respect to the size of the lower plate opening 326d, and the number of game balls stored in the lower plate 322 can be sufficiently ensured. Further, since the rear portion of the lower plate 322 is wrapped around the rear side of the staging operation unit 400, when the player puts his / her left hand into the lower plate 322 or puts his left hand on the lower plate opening 326d. Since it is difficult for the fingertip to touch the wall behind the lower plate 322, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel uncomfortable, to suppress a decrease in interest in the game, and to increase the size of the lower plate opening 326d. In contrast, the fact that the volume of the lower plate 322 is large can be recognized by touch.

  Further, the door frame 3 is provided with a lower plate ball supply port 323c through which game balls from the upper plate 321 are discharged to the lower plate 322 and a lower plate for pulling out game balls of the lower plate 322 into a dollar box below the plate unit 320. The countersunk hole 322a is arranged linearly forward and backward, and is disposed on the right outside the lower plate opening 326d (right side of the left end of the frame unit 415 of the rendering operation unit 400) when viewed from the front. In other words, the lower tray ball supply port 323c and the lower tray ball removal hole 322a are connected to the rendering operation unit 400, the rendering operation unit mounting portion 326a in the tray unit cover 326 (to the right outside the lower tray opening 326d), and the front end of the lower tray cover 340. Side, etc., the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish ball removal hole 322a cannot be seen from the player side, and the appearance of the dish unit 320 (sling machine 1) can be refreshed. The appearance of the pachinko machine 1 can be improved.

  Further, in the door frame 3, the lower plate hole 322a is provided in the lower plate 322 in front of (directly in front of) the lower plate ball supply port 323c, so that the lower plate hole 322a is opened. Then, the game balls released from the upper plate 321 or the like to the lower plate 322 are immediately discharged from the lower plate ball hole 322a to the lower dollar box or the like as soon as they enter the lower plate 322. At this time, since the lower plate ball supply port 323c and the lower plate ball hole 322a are not visible from the player side, the flow of the game balls discharged from the upper plate 321 or the like to the dollar box through the lower plate 322 is also reduced. I can't see it. Thereby, it is possible to give an illusion to the player that the game balls of the upper plate 321 or the game balls dispensed from the dispensing device 830 with the upper plate 321 being full are directly discharged to the dollar box. Because it is possible, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, and to concentrate the player on the game (such as the operation of hitting the game ball and the effect image), thereby suppressing the decrease in interest. it can.

  In the lower frame 322, the lower plate 322 is provided with a lower plate hole 322a at a position on the front left side of the lower plate supply port 323c, and the lower plate 322 stands on the right side of the lower plate hole 322a. Since the raised wall is obliquely curved so as to face the direction of the lower dish ball hole 322a, the game balls supplied to the lower dish 322 from the lower dish ball supply port 323c are directly transferred to the lower dish ball 322. It can be guided to the hole 322a or indirectly reflected to the right wall to the hole 322a. Thus, in a state in which the lower dish hole 322a remains open, the game balls supplied to the lower dish 322 from the lower dish ball supply port 323c are located on the left side of the lower dish hole 322a in the lower dish 322. The lower plate 322 can be discharged downward from the lower plate ball hole 322a without entering the (lower plate first region A1), so that the game balls flowing through the lower plate 322 are not shown to the player. The game balls can be discharged downward (dollar box), and the same operational effects as described above can be obtained.

  In addition, the door frame 3 includes a lower plate opening 326d of the plate unit cover 326 with the lower plate 322 facing forward between the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a (effect operation unit 400) and the lower speaker opening 326e. Therefore, even if the player puts his hand on the lower plate opening 326d or puts his hand on the lower plate 322, the front of the lower speaker port 326e is not obstructed by the player's hand. The sound from the speaker 921 in the board unit 900 can be favorably output to the front, and the sound from the pachinko machine 1 can be enjoyed. Further, when the player puts his hand on the lower plate 322 or approaches the lower plate 322, the vibration caused by the heavy bass from the speaker 921 outputted forward from the lower speaker opening 326e can be tactilely felt by the player. It is possible to entertain the people and suppress the decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the door frame 3 is provided with a door frame right side unit 550 that is plate-shaped and protrudes greatly forward from the right side of the through-hole 111, when the pachinko machine 1 is installed in the island facility of the game hall, the door Since the frame right side unit 550 can exert an effect like a partition between the pachinko machine adjacent to the right side, the player playing with the present pachinko machine 1 can play in the private room. It is possible to give an illusion that the player is playing, and to play the game in a relaxed atmosphere without having to worry about other players around.

  Furthermore, since the door frame 3 can decorate the front end and both left and right sides of the door frame right side unit 550 which is plate-shaped and protrude largely forward, a game hall in which the pachinko machines 1 are arranged side by side. The pachinko machine 1 can notify the presence of the pachinko machine 1 even if it is not located in front of the pachinko machine 1 or from a distance such as from the side along the island facilities, and the pachinko machine has a high appeal to the player. Machine 1.

  Further, the door frame 3 includes, in the door frame top unit 570 above the through-hole 111, a top middle decoration member 576 protruding forward at the center in the left-right direction, and the left and right front surfaces of the top middle decoration member 576, The shape of the door frame top unit 570 at the top middle decorative member is smaller than the straight line connecting the front ends of the left and right ends of the door frame top unit 570 and the left and right front ends of the top middle decorative member 576. 576 is formed in a concavely curved shape so that the front surfaces on both left and right sides are located rearward. This allows only the top middle decoration member 576 of the door frame top unit 570 to appear to protrude greatly forward, so that the top middle decoration member 576 can be emphasized and emphasized to the player. The interior decoration member 576 can be strongly noticed.

  By the way, a pair of upper speakers separated from each other are provided on the upper part of the door frame in the conventional pachinko machine, and two upper speakers are conspicuous. On the other hand, in the door frame 3 of the present embodiment, a pair of upper parts whose front surfaces are protected by speaker covers 575 made of punched metal at both left and right ends in a door frame top unit 570 attached above the through hole 111. In addition to the speaker 573, a top left decorative lens member 579 and a top right decorative lens member 580 extend from the left and right sides of the middle top middle decorative member 576 to both left and right sides through the front of the speaker cover 575, and The entire front surfaces of the left decorative lens member 579 and the top right decorative lens member 580 can be illuminated. As a result, the upper part of the front of the door frame 3 can be entirely decorated, so that the pair of upper speakers 573 is not conspicuous at the upper part of the door frame 3, so that the decoration is clearly different from that of the conventional pachinko machine. It is possible to make the player recognize at a glance that the player is in the pachinko machine 1 having a high appeal to the player, and to make the player enjoy high quality stereo sound by the pair of upper speakers 573. it can.

Can be.

  Also, when the game ball flows through the guide paths 821c and 822c of the ball guiding unit 820, the game ball comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a and 826a of the front 825 and the rear 826 of the movable piece, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a are moved. The movable member front 825 and the movable member rear 826 rotate in a direction coinciding with the wall surfaces of the guide passages 821c and 822c. As a result, the detection pieces 825f and 826f at the front of the movable piece member 825 and at the rear of the movable piece member 826 are in a non-detection state with respect to the ball cutout detection sensor 827, and it can be seen that a game ball is present in the guide paths 821c and 822c.

  When the payout device 830 on the downstream side of the ball guiding unit 820 pays out the game balls, the game balls in the guide paths 821c and 822c flow downstream. When the game balls flow in the guidance passages 821c and 822c, the momentum of the game balls flowing in the introduction portions 821d and 822d increases, and the game balls flowing in the introduction portions 821d and 822d are movable pieces above the detection portions 821e and 822e. It rebounds to the side of 825a, 826a and comes into contact with the movable pieces 825a, 826a. Since the movable balls 825a and 826a vibrate due to the contact of the game ball, the vibrations cause the movable pieces 825a and 826a to be caught or intruded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the notches 821g and 822g of the guide passages 821c and 822c. Scratched dust and dirt can be removed, and the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be favorably rotated by their own weight and the like.

  In addition, the ball guiding unit 820 is configured to detect the game balls flowing through the respective guiding paths 821c and 822c by using separate movable member front 825 and movable member rear 826, respectively. Since the respective detecting pieces 825f and 826f of the movable piece member rear 826 are detected by one ball out detecting sensor 827, when the game ball in any one of the guide passages 821c and 822c runs out, the movable piece member front. The movable pieces 825a and 826a of the movable piece 825 or the rear of the movable piece 826 are rotated so as to protrude into the guide paths 821c and 822c, and the detection pieces 825f and 826f on the side where the game ball has disappeared are detected by the ball out detection sensor 827. You. Therefore, since the running out of the game ball can be detected at an early stage, the game ball can be quickly replenished, and the time during which the game is interrupted can be shortened as much as possible to reduce the interest of the player. Can be suppressed.

  Further, by screwing metal screws as weights into the weight mounting portions 825e and 826e of the front and rear movable members 825 and 826, the weight of the front and rear movable members 825 and 826 and the weight of the weights. By this, the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be easily rotated in the directions protruding into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably mounted outside the guide passages 821c and 822c, and the lower ends protrude into the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust in the guide passages 821c and 822c is formed. No dust or dust adheres to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even when the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate toward the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust, dust, and the like do not bite between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall. Thus, the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be prevented from rotating.

  As described above, the ball guiding unit 820 of the present embodiment includes the movable pieces 825a and 826a at the front of the movable piece member 825 and the rear of the movable piece member 826 whose lower ends protrude into the guide paths 821c and 822c through which the game balls flow by their own weight. By attaching weights made of metal screws to the weight attachment portions 825e and 826e on the opposite side of the surface in contact with the game ball, the weight of the movable piece can be determined by the weight of the weight of the weight of the weight before the movable piece member 825 and the movable piece member 826. The lower ends of 825a and 826a can be easily turned (projected) into the guide passages 821c and 822c. Further, since the upper ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a are rotatably mounted outside the guide passages 821c and 822c, and the lower ends protrude into the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust in the guide passages 821c and 822c is formed. No dust or dust adheres to the upper and lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a. Therefore, even when the movable pieces 825a and 826a rotate toward the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c, dust, dust, and the like do not bite between the lower ends of the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the wall. Thus, the movable pieces 825a and 826a (the front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member) can be prevented from rotating.

  Further, since the metal screw as a weight is screwed into the weight mounting portions 825e and 826e formed as through holes and mounted, even if the movable member front 825 and the movable member rear 826 rotate frequently, the weight remains. The front 825 and the rear 826 of the movable member can be maintained in a good state for a long time without coming off from the front 825 of the movable member and the rear 826 of the movable member (weight attachment portions 825e, 826e). . Further, simply by screwing the metal screws into the weight mounting portions 825e and 826e, the weight can be easily mounted on the front 825 of the movable piece and the rear 826 of the movable piece, thereby simplifying the work of mounting the weight. Thus, the cost of assembling the pachinko machine 1 can be reduced.

  Further, the guide passages 821c and 822c have introduction portions 821d and 822d that guide game balls toward the movable pieces 825a and 826a, respectively, on the upstream side of the portion where the movable pieces 825a and 826a protrude inside. Since the game balls flow through the guide passages 821c and 822c, the game balls contact the movable pieces 825a and 826a, so that the movable pieces 825a and 826a can be vibrated by the contact of the game balls. Therefore, by vibrating the movable pieces 825a and 826a, dust, dust, and the like that are caught or intruded between the movable pieces 825a and 826a and the walls of the guide passages 821c and 822c can be removed, and can be moved by their own weight or the like. The front 825 of the one-sided member and the rear 826 of the movable one-sided member can be favorably rotated.

  Therefore, since the front 825 of the movable piece member and the rear 826 of the movable piece member can be satisfactorily rotated, the state (presence / absence) of the game ball in the guide paths 821c and 822c can be reliably detected, and the game ball can be detected. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of a problem due to erroneous detection or the like. Further, even if the game balls supplied to the payout device 830 disappear from the guide paths 821c and 822c, the presence or absence of the guide paths 821c and 822c can be reliably detected via the movable pieces 825a and 826a, so Can be replenished with game balls, and by reducing the time during which the game is interrupted as short as possible, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest of the player.

  The dispensing blade 839 extends cylindrically forward and backward, and protrudes in a direction perpendicular to the axis of the base cylindrical portion 839a at regular intervals in a circumferential direction from a front end of the base cylindrical portion 839a through which the shaft member 838 is inserted. A plurality of (three) front blades 839b and a plurality of (which are perpendicular to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a projecting from the rear end of the base cylinder portion 839a in the circumferential direction at regular intervals so as to be alternated with the front blades 839b. 3) A rear blade 839c and a connected portion that projects cylindrically forward from the front end of the base cylindrical portion 839a and has irregularities that can be connected to the connecting portion 837c of the driven gear 837 at the peripheral surface of the front end. 839d.

  The front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c of the dispensing blade 839 are provided three each at an interval of 120 degrees in the circumferential direction, and the rear blade 839c is rotated relative to the front blade 839b so as to be staggered. It extends outward at an angle of 60 degrees in the direction. In the payout blade 839 of this embodiment, three front blades 839b (rear blades 839c) are connected by an arc depressed toward the center, and the diameter of the arc is equal to or slightly larger than the diameter of the game ball. As a result, between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c), a ball housing portion 839e capable of housing only one game ball is formed.

  The three front blades 839b and the rear blade 839c are formed such that their outer diameters D1 around the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a are 1 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. In addition, a diameter D2 centered on the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a up to a portion closest to the axis of the base cylinder portion 839a in the arc portion (sphere housing portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c). Is formed about 0.3 to 0.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball. That is, the depth [(diameter D1−diameter D2) / 2] from the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c to the most concave portion of the ball housing portion 839e is 0.1 to 0. It is four times.

  Therefore, it is possible to hold about 3/10 (between 1/4 and 1/3) of the outer circumference of the game ball by the arc portion (ball accommodating portion 839e) between the front blades 839b (rear blades 839c). it can. In other words, a depth of about 1/5 (1/7 to 1/4) of the outer diameter of the game ball can be accommodated. As a result, the game balls in the payout passages 831d and 832d can be promptly accommodated between the front blades 839b (the rear blades 839c) (the ball accommodating portion 839e).

  In the dispensing blade 839 of this embodiment, in a state where the dispensing device 830 is assembled, the front blade 839b is located in the dispensing passage 831d of the front box 831 and the rear blade 839c is located in the dispensing passage 832d of the rear box 832. The game balls in the payout passages 831d and 832d can be paid out, respectively. In addition, the discharge blade 839 is disposed at a position below the center of the entire height of the front box 831 and the rear box 832 in the discharge passages 831d and 832d, and is bent at a crank shape. Specifically, in the payout passages 831d and 832d, the rotation center of the payout blade 839 is located immediately below a portion that extends vertically downward from near the center of the entire height of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. Then, in the portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d that are bent in a crank shape, the wall (inner wall) on the side far from the payout blade 839 is centered on the rotation center of the payout blade 839, and the outer periphery of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c. It is formed in an arc shape separated by a distance S smaller than the outer diameter of the game ball. In the present embodiment, the distance S is set to 0.7 to 0.9 times the outer diameter of the game ball. In other words, the distance from the most concave portion of the ball housing portion 839e to the arc-shaped portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d is 1.03 to 1.1 times the outer diameter of the game ball. .

  Accordingly, when the game ball flowing down on the payout blade 839 contacts the outer circumferences of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c, the payout device 830 passes through the crank-shaped portions of the payout passages 831d and 832d. , And is not discharged downward from the payout outlets 831b and 832b. On the other hand, when the game ball is accommodated in the ball accommodating portion 839e, it moves with the rotation of the payout blade 839, can pass through the crank-shaped portions of the payout passages 831d, 832d, and from the payout outlets 831b, 832b. Released downward.

  Further, in the payout device 830, the diameter D1 of the front blade 839b and the rear blade 839c is set to about 1.2 to 1.4 times the outer diameter of the game ball, and the outer diameter of the game ball is set to 1 by the ball accommodating portion 839e. Since a depth of / 7 to ４ is accommodated, the time required for accommodating game balls can be shortened while the outer diameter of the payout blade 839 is made as small as possible. Thereby, even if the payout blade 839 is rotated quickly, the game balls can be stored in the ball storage portion 839e and sent to the payout outlets 831b and 832b. Therefore, the number of game balls to be paid out per unit time can be increased as compared with the related art, and the time required for paying out game balls can be reduced.

  The ball-moving movable piece 843 extends in a plate shape up and down and back and forth, and has a body portion 843a whose lower portion is bent to form a letter shape when viewed from the front, and a tubular shape that extends back and forth at the upper end of the body portion 843a. A shaft cylinder portion 843b whose both ends are rotatably attached to the front box 831 and the rear box 832, a protruding portion 843c protruding from the upper part of the outer surface of the main body portion 843a which is bent, and a main body portion 843a. And a weight mounting portion 843d (see FIG. 105) formed of a through hole penetrating front and rear at a lower portion bent in a V-shape.

  When the dispensing device 830 is assembled, the ball-moving movable piece 843 is oriented such that the lower portion of the main body 843a extends obliquely to the lower left in front view, and the upper end cylindrical tube portion 843b dispenses the front box 831 and the rear box 832. In the passages 831d, 832d, it is possible to rotate at a position extending obliquely to the lower right from the front from the payout entrances 831a, 832a, and at a position outside the wall on the right side in the front view slightly higher than the portion bent downward. Mounted on

  The dispensing device 830 of the present embodiment has a state in which the ball-pulling lever 844 is slid downward in a normal state, and the lower part of the ball-pulling lever 844 contacts the protrusion 843c of the ball-pulling movable piece 843 from the right in front view. In contact. This restricts rotation of the ball-moving movable piece 843 in a counterclockwise direction as viewed from the front (see FIG. 105A).

  In this normal state, in the body portion 843a of the ball-moving movable piece 843 which is bent in a V shape, the upper side extends vertically from the bent portion, and the lower side of the bent portion is obliquely lower left in front view. Extending to The lower end of the main body portion 843a is located near a portion where the payout passages 831d and 832d and the ball emptying passages 831e and 832e are branched. Therefore, the ball removing passages 831e and 832e are closed by the ball removing movable piece 843 (the main body portion 843a), and the surface facing the left side of the main body portion 843a forms a partial wall of the payout passages 831d and 832d. are doing.

  The ball-moving movable piece 843 of the present embodiment is formed such that, in a normal state, the center of gravity of the ball-moving movable piece 843 is located on the left side in a front view of a vertical line passing through the center of the shaft cylinder portion 843b. Thus, a force for rotating in the counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front is acting, but since the rotation in the counterclockwise direction is restricted by the ball release lever 844, the normal state is maintained.

  When the ball release lever 844 is slid upward from the normal state, the lower portion of the ball release lever 844 separates from the protrusion 843c of the ball removal movable piece 843, and the ball removal movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise in front view. Restrictions on movement are lifted. Accordingly, the ball-moving movable piece 843 is rotated counterclockwise by its own weight so that the center of gravity is located immediately below the shaft tube portion 843b. Note that the ball-moving movable piece 843 rotates counterclockwise until the right side surface of the lower part of the main body 843a contacts the left surfaces of the members forming the right sides of the front box 831 and the rear box 832. (See FIG. 105 (b)). As a result, the ball removing passages 831e and 832e are opened, and the game balls entering from the payout entrances 831a and 832a come into contact with the main body portion 843a of the ball removing movable piece 843 in the middle of the payout passages 831d and 832d. The ball-moving movable piece 843 is rotated counterclockwise when viewed from the front to open the ball-drawing passages 831e and 832e, and is discharged downward from the ball-drawing outlets 831c and 832c through the opened ball-drawing passages 831e and 832e. The Rukoto.

  In the present embodiment, since the ball-moving movable piece 843 is provided with the weight mounting portion 843d, a weight made of a metal screw is screwed into the weight mounting portion 843d and mounted, so that the ball-drawing lever 844 is slid upward. Then, when the regulation of the counterclockwise rotation in the front view is released, the lower end of the ball-moving movable piece 843 projects into the ball-drawing passages 831e and 832e due to the own weight of the ball-moving movable piece 843 and the weight of the weight. It can be easily rotated in the direction (counterclockwise in front view).

  Further, in a normal state in which the ball pulling lever 844 is slid downward to close the ball pulling passages 831e and 832e, the game balls entering from the payout openings 831a and 832a are transferred to the main body portion 843a of the ball pulling movable piece 843. Since the contact is made with the game ball, the ball-moving movable piece 843 can be vibrated by the contact. Therefore, dust, dust, and the like that are caught or intruded between the lower end of the ball removing movable piece 843 and the inner surfaces of the ball removing passages 831e and 832e can be removed by the vibration of the ball removing movable piece 843. It is possible to prevent the ball-moving movable piece 843 from becoming unable to rotate due to biting, dust, or the like.

  In addition, since the metal screw as the weight can be screwed into the weight mounting portion 843d formed as a through hole and attached, even if the ball-moving movable piece 843 rotates frequently, the weight can be attached to the ball-moving movable piece 843d. The ball-moving movable piece 843 can be maintained in a good state for a long time without being detached from the (weight attachment portion 843d). Further, since the weight can be easily attached to the ball-moving movable piece 843 only by screwing the metal screw into the weight attaching portion 843d, the labor for attaching the weight can be simplified, and the pachinko machine 1 is assembled. Can be reduced.

  If the ball removing passages 831e and 832e are closed for a long time by the ball removing movable piece 843, fine dust adheres to the rotating shaft of the ball removing movable piece 843 or the rotating shaft rusts, and the ball removing passage 841e and 832e rust. The movable piece 843 may be difficult to rotate.

  Furthermore, since it has an opaque main body portion 413a and an inner extension portion 413f that enable only the second button decoration portion 411b of the operation button 410 to be illuminated and decorated by the first LEDs 422a and 423a, the second button portion 411b of the operation button 410 is provided. The portion on the center side of the button decoration portion 411b is not illuminated (illuminated) by the first LEDs 422a and 423a, and is arranged rearward because the center side of the operation button 410 (button lens 411) is bright. The decoration member 432 inside the operation button and the door frame side effect display device 460 (the door frame side second effect display device 460A) can be prevented from being hard to see from the front. Therefore, the second button decoration portion 411b can be illuminated and decorated in a favorable state, and the decoration member 432 in the rear operation button and the door frame side effect display device 460 (the door frame side second effect) can be provided through the transparent button lens 411. The display device 460A) can be visually recognized in a good state, and the player can enjoy the decoration and the luminous effect sufficiently, thereby suppressing a decrease in interest in the game.

  Further, since the inner cylindrical portion 416d extends from the rear side of the frame unit 415 provided with the frame side lens 417, the frame side lens 417 and the second button decoration of the operation button 410 are provided on the rear side of the frame unit 415. The inner cylindrical portion 416d can completely separate the portion from the portion 411b. On the other hand, light from the first LEDs 422a and 423a and the light from the second LEDs 422b and 423b is provided at an end (rear end) of the inner cylindrical portion 416d on the side closer to the operation button left outer decoration substrate 422 and the operation button right outer decoration substrate 423. Since the rear end of the inner cylindrical portion 416d is located closer to the operation button left outer decoration board 422 and the operation button right outer decoration board 423 than the diffusion range, the operation button left outer decoration board 422 and the operation button right outer side Even if a gap is formed between the decorative substrate 423 and the front surface, the light from the first LEDs 422a and 423a illuminates the frame side lens 417, and the light from the second LED 422b 423b illuminates the second button decorative portion 411b. I will not. Therefore, the light can be reliably blocked by the inner cylindrical portion 416d, and the pachinko machine 1 that reliably achieves the above-described operation and effect can be realized.

  Further, since the main body 413a and the inner extension 413f of the button base 413 extend from the rear side of the operation button 410 (button lens 411), the second button decoration part 411b is provided on the rear side of the operation button 410. The body and the center side of the button lens 411 can be completely separated by the main body 413a and the inner extension 413f. On the other hand, at the end (rear end) of the main body 413a on the side closer to the operation button left outer decoration board 422 and the operation button right outer decoration board 423, the operation button left outer decoration board 422 and the operation button right outer decoration board 423 Also extend rearward, the light from the first LEDs 422a and 423a does not go under the rear end of the main body part 413a, and the intrusion of light into the center of the button lens 411 of the operation button 410 can be completely blocked. Can be. Therefore, the second button decoration part 411b can be illuminated and decorated in a good state by the first LEDs 422a and 423a, and the decoration member 432 in the rear operation button and the door frame side effect display device 460 (through the transparent button lens 411). The door frame side second effect display device 460A) can be visually recognized in a good state, and the player can fully enjoy the decoration, the light emission effect, and the like, and can suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  Also, when viewed from the front, the second button decoration is provided in front of a portion outside the operation button decoration member 432 (door frame side second effect display device 460A) disposed behind the operation button 410 (button lens 411). Since the part 411b is located, the decoration member 432 inside the operation button (the second door frame side second effect display device 460A) from the gap between the button lens 411 and the decoration member 432 inside the operation button (door frame side second effect display device 460A). The members and the rear side (rear side) outside the effect display device 460A) can be made difficult to see by the second button decoration portion 411b, so that the appearance of the operation buttons 410 can be prevented from deteriorating. At this time, when the second button decoration portion 411b is illuminated by the first LEDs 422a and 423a, the operation button decoration member 432 (the second effect on the door frame side) changes the brightness of the second button decoration portion 411b. Since the outside and the rear side of the display device 460A) become relatively dark, the members on the outside and the rear side of the operation button interior decoration member 432 (the door frame side second effect display device 460A) can be made difficult to see. Therefore, the appearance of the operation button 410, the frame unit 415, the decoration member 432 in the operation button, the door frame side effect display device 460 (the door frame side second effect display device 460A), and the like can be further improved, and the player's appearance can be improved. A decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  Further, since the outer shape of the operation button 410 is circular, the second button decoration portion 411b provided on the outer edge of the operation button 410 (button lens 411) and the frame adjacent to the second button decoration portion 411b are provided. The side lens 417 has a form extending in an arc shape. Accordingly, by appropriately emitting the first LEDs 422a and 423a and the second LEDs 422b and 423b, a light emission effect in which light turns around the outer edge of the operation button 410 and a light emission in which light spreads from the inside to the outside of the operation button 410. Since it is possible to show the player an effect, a light emission effect in which light converges from the outside to the inside of the operation button 410, and the like, the player can be bored with various light emission effects, and can enjoy the player. In addition, it is possible to suppress a decrease in interest.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the upper plate 321 used for the game, in which the stored game balls are driven into the game area 5a on the plate unit cover 326 of the plate unit 320 in the door frame 3, is used. At the same time, the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) is detachably attached to the front side and lower side of the upper plate 321 so that a predetermined space is provided behind the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). The remaining space of the mounting space 326j is formed, a portion corresponding to the lower plate first region A1 in the lower plate main body 325 is disposed on the left side of the remaining space of the mounting space 326j, and the remaining space of the mounting space 326j is located from the portion. A portion corresponding to the lower plate second region A2 in the lower plate main body 325 is extended inside and a lower plate 322 capable of storing game balls is attached. Therefore, the lower plate 322 looks small when viewed from the front, so that the lower plate 322 can be made less noticeable, and the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) can be relatively easily noticeable. . Therefore, when the pachinko machine 1 is viewed from the front, the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) can be seen at a position where the upper plate and the lower plate were viewed vertically in the conventional pachinko machine. It is possible to make the pachinko machine 1 with a high appealing power that can make the player recognize that it is different from the conventional pachinko machine at a glance, and can strongly attract the interest of the player. it can.

  Further, at the lower plate second region A2 in the lower plate main body 325 of the lower plate 322, the upper portion extends upward from the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b extending upward from the outer periphery, and extends toward the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j. Since the lower plate covers 340 and 340A for restricting the movement of the game balls are provided, it is possible to prevent the game balls in the lower plate 322 from contacting the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A). The game balls supplied into the lower plate 322 and the game balls stored in the lower plate 322 are brought into contact with or pressed against the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). Can be prevented. Therefore, the game ball does not contact the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A), and the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) is not damaged by the game ball. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game from being interrupted due to the breakage of the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), thereby preventing the interest of the player from being lowered, and the pachinko machine 1 is installed. It is possible to suppress an increase in the burden on the gaming hall side.

  Further, lower plate covers 340 and 340A that restrict the movement of the game ball to the remaining space side of the main body standing wall portion 325b and the mounting space 326j at the lower plate second region A2 in the lower plate main body 325 of the lower plate 322. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the game ball from entering (spilling) from the lower plate main body 325 into the remaining space of the mounting space 326j. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the player from feeling bad or uncomfortable by entering the remaining space of the mounting space 326j with the game ball, and to enjoy the game for the player. Can be suppressed.

  Also, since the lower plate covers 340 and 340A cover the lower plate main body 325 in the lower plate 322 in the lower plate 322, the game balls supplied into the lower plate 322 bounce inside the lower plate 322. Even if it jumps up, it can be surely prevented from entering the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j, and the above-described operation and effect can be reliably achieved. Also, since the lower plate cover 340, 340A covers the lower plate second region A2 of the lower plate main body 325, the player can move the lower plate main body 325 to the lower plate first region A1 side (lower plate opening portion). When a hand is put into the lower plate second area A2 from 326d), the lower plate covers 340 and 340A can prevent the fingertips and the like from entering the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j, so that the fingertips can be prevented. Or the like can be prevented from touching the lower surface of the upper plate 321 or the rear side of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A), thereby allowing the player to play in a safe state. Can be.

  Furthermore, since there is a gap between the lower plate covers 340, 340A and the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A), the impact, pressure, etc. caused by the contact of the game balls with the lower plate covers 340, 340A. Is not transmitted from the lower plate covers 340, 340A to the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A), and the damage of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) is ensured. Can be prevented.

  In addition, in the lower plate second region A2 of the lower plate main body 325 of the lower plate 322, since the lower plate hole 322a is provided in front of the lower plate supply port 323c, the lower plate hole 322a is opened. In this state, the game balls released from the lower plate ball supply port 323c can be directly entered into the lower plate ball hole 322a and discharged downward (dollar box), and the game balls can be discharged from the lower plate body 325 into the main body. It is difficult to reach the front end side of the standing wall portion 325b. Even if the game ball jumps over the lower plate hole 322a, since the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are provided as described above, the game ball is provided by the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A). Since it is possible to prevent contact with the rear side, it is possible to prevent the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) from being damaged, to reduce interruption of the game, and to reduce the interest of the player in the game. Can be suppressed.

  Also, since the bottom wall 325a of the lower plate main body 325 near the front end of the lower plate 322 becomes higher toward the front, the game ball heading toward the front end side of the main body standing wall 325b of the lower plate main body 325 is inclined. By climbing the bottom surface, the moving speed of the game ball can be attenuated. Accordingly, since the speed of the game balls in contact with the lower plate covers 340 and 340A can be reduced, the lower ball covers 340 and 340A reliably restrict the movement of the game balls to the remaining space side of the mounting space 326j. In addition to this, it is possible to reduce the impact when the game balls contact the lower plate covers 340, 340A and the main body standing wall portion 325b, and to prevent them from being damaged.

  Further, since at least the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are formed as separate members, when the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are damaged, it can be easily repaired simply by replacing the lower plate covers 340 and 340A. It is possible to reduce an increase in the burden on the gaming hall on which the player 1 is installed.

  Furthermore, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the center of the front surface in the left-right direction expands forward most below the game area 5a of the game board 5 where a game such as accepting a game ball in the general winning opening 2001 or the like is performed. After being provided on the plate unit cover 326 of the tray unit 320 that has been protruded, the effect operation unit 400 and the second effect operation unit 400A are detachably attached to the portion that protrudes forward, and the upper plate 321 is attached to the plate unit cover 326. And a lower plate 322. The lower plate 322 is provided with a storage plate capable of storing game balls. The storage plate (the upper plate 321 and the lower plate 322) is provided outside the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) in a front view. A space at the rear of the lower space first area A1 and the mounting space 326j behind the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) in front view. , The effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) can be made to stand out when viewed from the front, and the storage dish (upper dish 321) can be seen. In addition, the lower plate 322) can be made small and less noticeable. Therefore, a stunning effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) can be seen in a portion where the upper plate and the lower plate can be seen in the conventional pachinko machine, so that the gaming machine is different from the conventional pachinko machine to the player. Can be recognized at a glance, and the pachinko machine 1 with high appealing power capable of strongly attracting the player's interest can be provided.

  Further, since the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) is attached to the center in the left-right direction of the front surface of the plate unit cover 326, the portion of the surface of the plate unit cover 326 where the lower plate 322 is open is located. Although smaller, the first lower plate main body 325 having the lower plate second region A2 located in the rear space of the mounting space 326j behind the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) in front view. Since the additional portion 325B, the second additional portion 325C, and the lower plate covers 340, 340A are provided, the game balls can be stored in a region of the lower plate 322 that is not visible from the front (lower plate second area A2). it can. Therefore, a sufficient storage amount of the game balls can be ensured contrary to the appearance from the front, so that the player can concentrate on the game without worrying about the remaining amount of the game balls in the lower plate 322. It is possible to entertain the game and suppress a decrease in interest.

  Further, the lower plate main body 325 and the main body portion 325A having the lower plate first region A1, the lower plate covers 340 and 340A having the lower plate second region A2, the first additional portion 325B, and the second additional portion. Since the lower plate 322 is configured by attaching (combining) the portions 325C, a plurality of lower plate covers 340 and 340A having different sizes, the first extension portion 325B, the second extension portion 325C, and the like are prepared in advance. By attaching the lower plate covers 340 and 340A, the first extension portion 325B, and the second extension portion 325C having a size corresponding to the concept of the pachinko machine 1, the size of the mounting space 326j in the plate unit cover 326, and the like, The volume of the dish 322 can be optimized. Further, as described above, by rearranging (replacement) the lower plate covers 340, 340A, the first extension portion 325B, and the second extension portion 325C, it is possible to correspond to the size of the rear space of the mounting space 326j. Since the size of the rear space depends on the amount of rearward projection of the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A), the various rendering operation units 400 (second The lower plate 322 can be adapted to the effect operation unit 400A), and the versatility of the pachinko machine 1 can be enhanced.

  Further, since the lower plate 322 is provided with the bottom wall portion 325a and the main body standing wall portion 325b rising from the outer peripheral end of the bottom wall portion 325a, the lower plate 322 has a container shape depressed downward, and the game ball is formed. Can be reliably stored. In addition, since the lower plate covers 340 and 340A have the cover standing wall portions 340a that rise from the upper ends of the main body standing wall portions 325b of the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate covers 340 and 340A of various shapes are prepared in advance. In addition, by combining (attaching) the lower plate covers 340 and 340A having a shape according to the concept of the pachinko machine 1 and the size (shape) of the rear space of the attachment space 326j, various configurations can be accommodated. Accordingly, the same function and effect as described above can be obtained.

  In the lower plate 322 composed of the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A, the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are combined (attached) to the upper end of the main body standing wall portion 325b of the lower plate main body 325. Therefore, since the portion of the lower plate 322 where the game balls are placed is the lower plate main body 325, the lower plate main body 325 and the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are connected to the portion where more game balls are loaded by storage. No boundary (joint, division line PL) is located. Therefore, since the load of the stored game balls is received only by the lower plate main body 325, even when a large number of game balls are stored, a force such that the lower plate covers 340 and 340A are separated from the lower plate main body 325. The lower plate cover 340, 340A can be prevented from coming off the lower plate main body 325 without acting.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, an upper plate capable of storing game balls below and in front of the game area 5a of the game board 5 in which a game such as receiving a game ball in the general winning opening 2001 or the like is performed. 321 and a lower plate 322, and a lower operation ball supply port 323c and a lower operation hole 322a in the lower plate 322 by the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) arranged at the center in the left-right direction. And more than half of the lower plate 322 including (i.e., the player) is difficult to see (make it difficult to see) from the front (the player). The pachinko machine 1 has a high appealing power that can strongly attract the user. Further, since the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) makes it difficult to visually recognize a game ball heading from the lower counter ball supply port 323c to the lower counter ball extraction hole 322a, a game in the lower plate 322 is provided to the player. It is possible to prevent the flow of the ball from being noticed and prevent the ball from being distracted, thereby suppressing a decrease in interest in the game.

  In addition, the lower dish ball supply port 323c and the lower dish of the lower plate 322 of the lower dish 322 that guide game balls from the lower dish ball supply port 323c to the lower dish ball removal hole 322a by the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A). Since the game ball guided by the guiding means such as the ball guiding portion 322c and the buffering portion 322d between the ball hole 322a and the ball guiding portion 322c is made difficult to see, the lower plate hole 322a is left open. The game ball supplied to the lower plate 322 from the lower plate ball supply port 323c is guided by the guide means and is smoothly (immediately) discharged downward from the lower plate ball hole 322a. It is possible to give an illusion that the game ball is discharged below the lower plate 322 (dollar box) without passing through the lower plate 322. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, and it is possible to concentrate the player on the game and suppress a decrease in interest.

  Further, the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) makes it difficult to visually recognize from the front more than half of the lower plate 322 including the lower plate ball supply port 323c, the lower plate hole 322a, and the like. In addition, the lower counter ball supply port 323c, the lower counter ball extraction hole 322a, and the like are located behind the rendering operation unit 400 (second rendering operation unit 400A). In other words, since at least half of the lower plate 322 is wrapped around the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), the actual lower plate 322 is larger than the size of the lower plate 322 seen from the front. Since the size (capacity) of the 322 is large, it is possible to secure a sufficient storage amount of the game balls in the lower plate 322 as compared with the appearance.

  Further, in a state in which the lower bowl ejection hole 322a is open, the game balls released into the lower bowl 322 from the lower bowl supply port 323c are transferred to the lower bowl supply port 323c on the bottom of the lower bowl 322 and the lower bowl 322c. The guiding means such as the ball guiding portion 322c and the buffering portion 322d can smoothly guide the ball to the lower plate hole 322a and discharge it to the lower side (dollar box) of the lower plate 322 by the guiding means such as the ball guiding portion 322c and the buffer portion 322d. In addition, it is possible to prevent the game balls from flowing around the lower plate 322, and it is possible to surely make the game balls flowing through the lower plate 322 difficult to see from the front (a player). Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to notice the flow of the game ball in the lower plate 322, to prevent the player from being distracted, and to suppress a decrease in interest in the game.

  Further, when the lower bowl ejection hole 322a is kept open, the game balls supplied to the lower bowl 322 from the lower bowl supply port 323c can be immediately sent to the player without being noticed by the ball guiding section 322c or the like. Since it is possible to discharge the ball downward from the lower plate hole 322a, it is possible to give the player the illusion that the game ball is discharged to the lower portion (dollar box) of the lower plate 322 without passing through the lower plate 322. Can be. Thereby, it is possible to make it difficult for the player to feel the annoyance of the game ball passing through the lower plate 322, and it is possible to concentrate the player on the game and suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) makes it difficult to visually recognize from the front more than half of the storage area (storage area) of the game balls in the plan view of the lower plate 322, the lower plate visible from the front Since the actual lower plate 322 is at least twice as large as the size of 322, it is possible to secure a sufficient amount of stored game balls, similarly to the conventional lower plate of a pachinko machine.

  Further, according to the pachinko machine 1 of the present embodiment, the door frame 3 bulging forward below the game area 5a of the game board 5 in which a game such as accepting a game ball in the general winning opening 2001 or the like is performed. Effect operation unit mounting for mounting a large-scale effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) having the same height as the overall height of the plate unit cover 326 at the center in the left-right direction of the front of the plate unit cover 326 in the plate unit 320 of FIG. In addition to the portion 326a, the dish lower decorative portion 326c on the left and right sides of the effect operation unit mounting portion 326a on the front surface of the plate unit cover 326, which is lower than substantially the center in the vertical direction, is recessed so as to go back. Because of the shape, the production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) attached to the production operation unit attaching portion 326a But it can be able to show as to protrude greatly forward to stand out staging operation unit 400 (second staging operation unit 400A). Therefore, the large production operation unit 400 (second production operation unit 400A) can be seen in an emphasized state at a position where the upper plate and the lower plate are viewed side by side in the conventional pachinko machine, so that the player can see it. At a glance, it is possible to recognize that the pachinko machine is different from the conventional pachinko machine, and it is possible to provide the pachinko machine 1 with high appeal. Then, the lower plate 322 is recessed rearward from the dish front lower decorative portion 326c that is recessed rearward on both left and right outer sides of the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) on the front surface of the plate unit cover 326. A part is wrapped behind the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), and the amount of game balls stored in the lower plate 322 (the volume of the lower plate 322) can be sufficiently ensured. It is not necessary to play while paying attention to the lower plate 322 being filled with game balls, so that the player can be dedicated to the game, and the game can be enjoyed and the decrease in interest can be suppressed.

  In addition, since a part of the lower plate 322 is wrapped around the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A), when the player places his hand in the lower plate 322 from the front, the fingertip of the lower plate 322 becomes lower. The rear wall 322 (the front surface of the plate unit base 323), the lower plate cover 340, and the like can be made hard to touch. Thereby, it is possible to make the player recognize that the storage amount of the game balls is sufficiently secured even by touch, and when the game balls are stored in the lower plate 322, the lower plate 322 Since it can be recognized that many game balls are stored in the game, it is possible to give a sense of satisfaction to the player, and it is possible to entertain the game and suppress a decrease in interest. In addition, since the fingertip of the hand placed in the lower plate 322 is difficult to touch the rear wall of the lower plate 322, the lower plate cover 340, and the like, the player has the same feeling as the lower plate of the conventional pachinko machine. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a sense of incongruity given to a player who is accustomed to the conventional pachinko machine, and to suppress a decrease in interest in the game by making the player relieved.

  Further, since the lower plate 322 is formed so as to become wider toward the back side (rearward), a sufficient amount of game balls can be secured even if the front side is small. In other words, since the portion on the front end side of the lower plate 322 is made small, the lower plate 322 is less noticeable on the front surface (the lower front decorative portion 326c) of the plate unit cover 326 where the lower plate 322 is open. Thus, the effect operation unit 400 (the second effect operation unit 400A) can be made relatively conspicuous. Therefore, it is possible to provide the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) while ensuring a sufficient storage amount of the game balls in the lower plate 322, and it is possible to increase the appealing power to the player and to increase the player's appeal. It is possible to entertain and suppress a decrease in interest.

  In addition, since the lower plate 322 covers the side and upper side of the portion of the lower plate 322 that is wrapped around the effect operation unit 400 (second effect operation unit 400A) with the lower plate cover 340, the player can move the lower plate 322 into the lower plate 322.

Therefore, various decorations (decorative effects) can be shown to the player by using the front member and the rear member, and the player can be hardly bored, and the player can be entertained. It is possible to suppress a decrease in the interest of the user.

  More specifically, for example, when the front member has variable light transmission means such as a magic mirror, in a normal state, only the decoration of the front member is darkened by darkening the rear side of the front member. It can be visually recognized by a player. When the space between the front member and the rear member, or the rear side of the rear member, is brightened by light from a light emitting unit such as an LED, the condition for satisfying the variable light transmission means in the front member is satisfied, and the rear member passes through the front member. The members can be visually recognized, and the player can see the decoration in which the decoration of the front member and the decoration of the rear member overlap.

  Alternatively, when the front member is made transparent and the rear member has variable light transmission means such as a magic mirror, in a normal state, the surface of the rear member can be seen through the front member, so that the decoration of the front member and the rear member The decoration with the surface of the player can be shown to the player. When the rear side of the rear member is illuminated with light from a light emitting unit such as an LED, the condition for satisfying the variable light transmitting means in the rear member is satisfied, and the rear side can be visually recognized through the rear member. Through the member, a member on the rear side of the rear member (eg, a display device, a decorative body such as a character) can be shown to the player.

  Furthermore, if both the front member and the rear member have variable light transmission means such as a magic mirror, in a normal state, only the decoration of the front member can be shown to the player, When the space between the rear member and the light emitting portion such as an LED is brightened, the condition for satisfying the variable light transmission means in the front member is satisfied, and the surface of the rear member can be visually recognized through the front member. The decoration by the rear member can be shown to the player. On the other hand, the rear side of the rear member is brightened by light from a light emitting unit such as an LED (or the space between the front member and the rear member and the rear side of the rear member are simultaneously brightened by light from a light emitting unit such as an LED). ), And the fulfillment conditions of the respective variable light transmission means in the front member and the rear member are respectively satisfied, and the rear member of the rear member (for example, a decorative body such as a display device or a character) passes through the front member and the rear member. Can be shown to the player. Thus, by appropriately selecting a portion to be brightened by the light of the light-emitting portion, the range that can be viewed can be changed in multiple stages, and a variety of decorations can be enjoyed by the player.

  In the above specific example, since the variable light transmitting means is like a magic mirror, when the rear side is darkened, it looks like a mirror. The glittering decoration can be shown to the player.

  Further, in the above specific example, the variable light transmitting means has been described as a magic mirror, but similar effects can be obtained even when the variable light transmitting means is a liquid crystal film. Further, when a variable light transmission means such as a liquid crystal film can transmit light even in an opaque state (has translucency), the light can be transmitted between the front member and the rear member or between the rear member and the rear member. If the rear side of the member can be made brighter (or decorated with light) by the light of the light emitting unit such as an LED, a variety of effects such as a light emitting effect and a decorative effect can be shown to the player. .

It is transmitted to effect display drive board 4450. The serialized signals are restored to parallel signals in the effect display drive board 4450 and output to the door frame side effect display device 460.

  As described above, when the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs the screen data for one screen (for one frame) displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 to the sound source built-in VDP 1512a, the sound source built-in VDP 1512a becomes: Based on the input screen data, character data is extracted from the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b to create sprite data, which is displayed on the game board effect display device 1600 and the door frame effect display device 460 for one screen (1). Frame data) on the built-in VRAM, and among the generated drawing data, the image data for the game board effect display device 1600 is output from the channel CH1 to the game board effect display device 1600, and the door frame side Image data for effect display device 460 is shown from channel CH2. A peripheral control output circuit, a frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, a peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, and an output to the door frame side effect display device 460 via the effect display drive board 4450 stored in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3. (Send. In other words, “screen data for one screen (one frame)” refers to rendering data for one screen (one frame) displayed on the game board effect display device 1600 and the door frame effect display device 460 in the built-in VRAM. The data to be generated above.

  The sound source built-in VDP 1512a outputs drawing data for one screen (one frame) from the channel CH1 to the game board effect display device 1600, and also displays image data for the door frame side effect display device 460 from the channel CH2. A peripheral control output circuit, a frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, a peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, and an output to the door frame side effect display device 460 via the effect display drive board 4450 stored in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3. Then, a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU 1511a can be accepted is output to the peripheral control MPU 1511a. In the present embodiment, since the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the game board effect display device 1600 and the door frame effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps per second, a V blank signal is output. The interval is about 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). The peripheral control MPU 1511a executes a peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process described later when the V blank signal is input. Here, the interval at which the V blank signal is output slightly changes depending on the liquid crystal size of the game board effect display device 1600 and the door frame effect display device 460. Further, even in the manufacturing lot of the peripheral control board 1510 on which the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the sound source built-in VDP 1512a are mounted, the interval at which the V blank signal is output may be slightly changed.

  The VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source employs a frame buffer method. The “frame buffer method” means that one screen (one frame) of drawing data to be drawn on the screens of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is held in a frame buffer (built-in VRAM). In this system, the drawing data for one screen (one frame) held in the frame buffer (built-in VRAM) is output to the game board effect display device 1600 and the door frame effect display device 460.

  When the sound command data described above is input from the peripheral control MPU 1511a based on a command from the main control board 1310, the sound source built-in VDP 1512a, as shown in FIG. 128, stores music stored in the liquid crystal and the sound control ROM 1512b. By extracting sound data such as sound and sound effects and controlling the built-in sound source, the sound data such as music and sound effects are incorporated into the tracks according to the track numbers specified in the sound command data and used according to the output channel numbers. An output channel is set, and music, sound effects, and the like flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 are serialized and output as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512c.

Note that the sound command data also includes a sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the track in which the sound data is incorporated, and a plurality of tracks in the built-in sound source of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a include sound effects such as music and sound effects. In addition to the sound data and the sub-volume value for adjusting the sound volume, the sound data and the sound volume of the notification sound for notifying a clerk of a hall or the like of occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or misconduct with the pachinko machine 1 are adjusted. Subvolume values are included. Specifically, for the production sound, the above-described board volume adjusted by rotating the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a is set as a sub-volume value, and for the notification sound, the volume adjustment is performed. The maximum volume is set as the sub-volume value without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob of the volume 1510a.
The sub-volume value of the effect sound can be adjusted by operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 to shift to a setting mode described later.

  The sound designation data also includes a master volume value for adjusting the volume of a channel to be output. A plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a include a plurality of output channels in the built-in sound source of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a. Of the tracks, the sound data of the effect sound incorporated in the track to be used and the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the effect sound incorporated in the track to be used are combined, and the volume of the combined effect sound is Actually, the sound is amplified to a master volume value which is the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, and the amplified effect sound is serialized and output to the audio data transmission IC 1512c as audio data.

  In the present embodiment, the master volume value is set to a constant value, and when the volume of the synthesized effect sound is the maximum volume, the volume of the sound flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 is amplified by the master volume value. Is set to the maximum allowable volume. Specifically, for the production sound, among a plurality of tracks, the sound data of the production sound incorporated in the track to be used and the sub-volume value for adjusting the volume of the production sound incorporated in the track to be used are The set volume control volume 1510a is combined with the board volume adjusted by rotating the knob of the volume control volume 1510a, and the volume of the combined effect sound is actually compared with the volume flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. To a master volume value, and the amplified effect sound is serialized and output as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512c. For the notification sound, the sound data of the notification sound incorporated in the track to be used and the Volume adjustment button set as a sub-volume value to adjust the volume of the notification sound built into the track And the maximum volume without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob of the volume 1510a, and the volume of the synthesized notification sound becomes the volume actually flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. It amplifies to the master volume value, serializes the amplified notification sound, and outputs it as audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512c.

  Here, in the case where the production sound is flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the control of outputting the notification sound in order to notify the clerk of the hall or the like of the occurrence of the malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or the misconduct with respect to the pachinko machine 1 will be briefly described. To explain, first, the subvolume value of the track in which the production sound is incorporated is forcibly set to mute, the sound data of the track in which this production sound is incorporated, the subvolume value set for the mute, and the notification sound Is combined with the sub-volume value in which the volume of the notification sound is set to the maximum volume, and the volume of the synthesized effect sound and the volume of the notification sound are actually converted to the speaker 921. And a master volume value, which is a volume flowing from the upper speaker 573, and the amplified effect sound and notification sound are serialized to audio data. And it outputs the audio data transmitted IC1512c as data.

  That is, only the notification sound of the maximum volume flows as the sound actually flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. At this time, since the effect sound is muted, it does not flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, but the effect sound is proceeding according to the above-described sound generation schedule data. In the present embodiment, the notification sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 for a predetermined period (for example, 90 seconds), and after the predetermined period elapses, the sound generation forcibly set to mute is performed. The volume of the production sound progressing in accordance with the schedule data is set again as the sub-volume value by adjusting the knob of the volume control volume 1510a (at this time, the dial operation of the production operation unit 400). If the setting is shifted to the setting mode by operating the unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405, the sub-volume value of the adjusted effect sound is set), and the sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. It has become.

  In this way, when the production sound is flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, when the notification sound flows to notify the clerk of the hall or the like of the occurrence of the malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or the misconduct with respect to the pachinko machine 1, Although the volume of the sound is muted and the notification sound flows from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the silenced production sound proceeds according to the sound generation schedule data. When the sound does not flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, the production sound does not start flowing again from where the notification sound started flowing, but proceeds according to the sound generation schedule data until a predetermined period has elapsed after the notification sound started flowing. It starts to flow again from.

As shown in FIG. 128, the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b is used to draw the game board side character data for drawing in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the display area of the door frame side effect display device 460. , And various sound data such as music, sound effects, notification sounds, and notification sounds are also stored in advance.

[7-4-2c. Audio data transmission IC]
When serialized audio data is input from the built-in sound source VDP 1512a, the audio data transmission IC 1512c converts the right audio data into a positive signal and a negative signal as differential serial data, and outputs a peripheral control output circuit (not shown) and a frame peripheral relay. A peripheral control output circuit (not shown) is transmitted to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 via the terminal board 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal board 882 and as differential serial data in which the left audio data is a plus signal and a minus signal. , Via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882. As a result, music, sound effects, and the like according to various effects are stereo-reproduced from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  Note that the audio data transmission IC 1512c outputs audio data as serial data of the left and right differential systems between the boards from the peripheral control board 1510 to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194, so that, for example, a plus signal of left audio data, Even if the negative signal is affected by noise, when the noise component riding on the plus signal and the noise component riding on the minus signal are combined by the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 into one left audio data, Since noise components are removed by canceling each other, noise countermeasures can be taken.

As shown in FIG. 128, drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a is input to the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d. As described above, the interface based on the parallel system is used for the channel CH2. The drawing data is composed of three video signals of a red video signal, a green video signal, and a blue video signal, and three synchronization signals of a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and a clock signal. , Green video signal, and blue video signal are each composed of 8 bits, that is, a total of 24 bits.

It is input to the side effect transmitter IC 1512d. Since the lower two bits are extremely weak color information that is difficult for human eyes to distinguish, the lower two bits that are output from the built-in sound source VDP 1512a and contain the weak color information are invalidated.

  Three video signals, red video signal, green video signal, and blue video signal, which are drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a, and three synchronization signals, a horizontal synchronization signal, a vertical synchronization signal, and a clock signal Are input to the door-frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512d, the door-frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512d outputs three image signals of a red image signal, a green image signal, and a blue image signal, a horizontal synchronization signal, and a vertical synchronization signal. A signal and a clock signal are serialized into a differential serial signal (serial data) called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” by THine Electronics Co., Ltd., and only one differential pair cable is used. These various signals are transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the Terminal plate 868, near the door relay terminal plate 882, and transmitted to effect display driving board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3.

  As described above, the drawing data output from the channel CH1 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a is output from the peripheral control board 1510 to the game board effect display device 1600, so that the path from the channel CH1 to the game board effect display device 1600 is provided. Although the length of the wiring required for the (first path) is short, the drawing data output from the channel CH2 of the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, and the door. Since the signal is output (transmitted) to the effect display device 460 on the door frame side via the effect display drive board 4450 stored in the plate unit 320 of the frame 3, the path from the channel CH2 to the effect display device 460 on the door frame side (No. Since the length of the wiring required for the second path) is significantly longer than the length of the wiring required for the first path, The effect of the noise is extremely susceptible.

Specifically, since the door frame 3 is pivotally supported so as to be openable and closable with respect to the main body frame 4 shown in FIG. 1, the opposite side of the locking unit 700 shown in FIG. On the side of the main frame 4, for example, from the peripheral control board 1510 provided on the game board 5 mounted on the main frame 4 to the effect display drive board 4450 stored in the dish unit 320 provided on the door frame 3. It is necessary to pass various wirings for electrically connecting the various substrates provided to the various substrates provided on the door frame 3 side. However, in addition to the payout device 830, the game balls paid out by the payout device 830 can be guided to the upper plate 321 of the plate unit 320 and the upper plate 321 is provided on the closed side of the main body frame 4. A full tank branch unit 770 capable of branching out the paid game balls to the lower plate 322 side when the tank is full is provided.
In addition, on the lower side of the main body frame 4, a payout unit 800 shown in FIG. 5, which is a unitized power supply board 931 shown in FIG. 6 to which power is supplied from the pachinko island facility, is arranged. As described above, various wirings for electrically connecting the various substrates provided on the main body frame 4 side and the various substrates provided on the door frame 3 side are drawn near the dispensing device 830, the full tank branching unit 770, the power supply substrate 931 and the like. In addition to the noise caused by the driving of the payout motor 834 provided in the payout device 830, the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island equipment where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the noise due to the electrostatic discharge by the game balls, and the like. In an environment that receives noise and the like that has entered the vehicle.

  For this reason, for the channel CH2, in which the length of the wiring for transmitting the drawing data is extremely longer than the channel CH1, the transmission control IC 1512d for the door frame side provided on the peripheral control board 1510 includes " By adopting the differential-type communication called "V-by-One (registered trademark)", the system is less affected by noise. In the present embodiment, a door frame-side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided on the peripheral control board 1510, and a door frame-side effect receiver IC SDIC0 described later provided on the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the dish unit 320 of the door frame 3, As described above, the differential one pair cable is used as the wiring for electrically connecting between the connections of the transmitter, that is, between the transmitter and the receiver. Is not a parallel line provided simply in parallel, but a twisted pair cable. This twisted pair cable is a cable in which two wires are twisted, and is also called a twisted pair wire.

  Here, a brief description will be given of a case where a parallel line is employed as a differential pair cable for electrically connecting a transmitter and a receiver. For the channel CH2 of the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source, in which the length of the wiring for sending the drawing data is extremely longer than the channel CH1 of the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source, the electronics for the door frame side effector transmitter IC 1512d provided on the peripheral control board 1510 are provided by THine Electronics. Even if a mechanism that is hardly affected by noise by adopting a differential communication called “V-by-One (registered trademark)” of Co., Ltd., such a hardware configuration alone causes an electrostatic discharge of a game ball. When serial data in parallel lines is affected by noise, noise entering a power supply line supplied from the pachinko machine equipment where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc., the effect display stored in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3. For effect on the door frame side provided on the drive board 4450 Since the noise is not canceled (removed) at the time of reception by the transceiver ICSDIC0, the serial data is received by the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 while being affected, and is output from the channel CH2 of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. The frame data is received by the door frame-side effect receiver ICSDIC0 as disturbed data different from the normal data, and in the display area of the door frame-side effect display device 460, an image such as a so-called sandstorm is displayed. There is a problem that it cannot be recognized at all.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, the length of the wiring for transmitting the drawing data is extremely longer than the channel CH1 of the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source. The directing transmitter IC 1512d employs a differential-type communication called "V-by-One (registered trademark)" of THine Electronics Co., Ltd. to make the mechanism less susceptible to noise. In addition to such a hardware configuration, A twisted pair cable that can cancel (remove) the noise on the receiving side even if the serial data by the differential method is affected by noise that has entered the wiring is electrically connected between the transmitter and the receiver. It was adopted as a differential 1 pair cable. Thus, even if the serial data is affected in the twisted pair cable by the noise due to the electrostatic discharge of the game ball, the noise invading the power supply line supplied from the pachinko island equipment where the pachinko machine 1 is installed, etc. Since the noise is canceled (removed) when received by the door frame side effect receiver IC SDIC0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450 housed in the third dish unit 320, the channel of the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source. The drawing data output from CH2 is reliably received by the door frame side effect receiver IC SDIC0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450 stored in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3 and output to the door frame side effect display device 460. As a result, in the door frame side effect display device 460, the liquid crystal display controller 151 Image source built VDP1512a has generated a can be reliably displayed. By canceling (removing) the noise, it is possible to prevent an image such as a sandstorm that cannot be recognized at all from being displayed on the door frame side effect display device 460. Therefore, a decrease in the player's willingness to play can be suppressed. Therefore, a decrease in the player's willingness to play due to the influence of noise can be suppressed.

With such a configuration, after the door frame 3 is opened from the main frame 4 and various wirings are removed, the door frame 3 is removed from the main frame 4 so that the maintenance of the main frame 4 and the door frame 3 can be performed. If it is not possible to solve the problem occurring in the door frame 3, another door frame 3 ′ is attached to the main body frame 4 in place of the defective door frame 3, and the door frame 3 By electrically connecting various wirings from various substrates provided on the 'side to the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 provided on the body frame 4 side, various substrates provided on the body frame 4 side and various kinds provided on the door frame 3' side are provided.

For this reason, the above-mentioned video transmission wiring pattern is formed on the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 at a predetermined distance from the power supply wiring pattern and the various signal wiring patterns. Since the path from the transmitter to the receiver straddles a plurality of relay terminal plates, such as a frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and a peripheral door relay terminal plate 882, the video transmission formed on these relay terminal plates is formed on these relay terminal plates. Between the input and output of the wiring pattern, a part of a signal for transmitting serial data by the differential system transmitted by the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d is reflected and becomes noise, or the output level of the signal is reduced. Occurs. Therefore, in the present embodiment, impedance matching is applied to the video transmission wiring patterns formed on the plurality of relay terminal boards.

Then, the signal is output to the peripheral control board 1510 via the control unit. This LOCKN signal is input to the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 of the peripheral control board 1510 via a peripheral control input circuit (not shown) of the peripheral control board 1510. Accordingly, the peripheral control MPU 1511a determines that no problem has occurred in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver when the LOCKN signal is input as a response signal to the transmission of the LOCKN signal output request data, and the plate unit of the door frame 3 While it can be determined that a failure has not occurred in the effect display drive board 4450 accommodated in the 320, if no LOCKN signal has been input, it is determined that a failure has occurred in the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. It is determined that a failure has occurred in the effect display drive board 4450 stored in the plate unit 320 of the door frame 3, and a notification image (for example, "A failure has occurred in the upper plate side liquid crystal display device." Play the game board side by controlling the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source. In addition to outputting to the display device 1600, a notification sound (for example, "there is a problem with the upper-panel liquid crystal display device.") To that effect is output to the audio data transmission IC 1512c by controlling the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source. As a result, a notification sound flows from the speaker provided on the door frame 3. Thereby, the notification can be performed by the notification image displayed in the display area of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the notification sound repeatedly flowing from the speaker or the like provided on the door frame 3. At this time, all of the LEDs for light emitting decoration provided on the door frame 3 and the various LEDs mounted on the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 may be turned on.

As shown in FIG. 126, the RTC control unit 4165 that stores calendar information for specifying the date and time and time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second is configured around an RTC 4165a. The RTC 4165a has a built-in RAM 4165aa for holding calendar information and time information (hereinafter referred to as "RTC built-in RAM 4165aa"). The RTC 4165a is supplied with power from a battery 4165b (a button battery is employed in this embodiment) as a drive power supply and a backup power supply for the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa. That is, the RTC 4165a is supplied with power from the battery 4165b independently of the peripheral control board 1510 (pachinko machine 1) without supplying any power from the peripheral control board 1510 (pachinko machine 1). Thereby, even if the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, the RTC 4165a can update and hold the calendar information and the time information by the power supply from the battery 4165b.

  The peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 acquires calendar information and time information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC 4165a, sets the calendar information and time information in the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511c, and adds the acquired calendar information and time information to the RTC information. The effect based on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 can be developed. As such an effect, for example, on December 25, a screen of a Christmas tree or a reindeer is unfolded on the game board effect display device 1600 and the door frame effect display device 460, or on New Year's Eve, the New Year countdown is performed. The screen to be executed is unfolded by the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. Calendar information and time information are set at the time of factory shipment.

  In addition, in addition to calendar information and time information, when the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is of an LED type, the luminance setting information of the LED is stored and held in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa. I have. The peripheral control MPU 1511a acquires the luminance setting information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa and performs the luminance adjustment of the backlight by the PWM control when the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is mounted with the LED type. . The brightness setting information includes brightness adjustment information for adjusting the range of the brightness of the LED, which is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600, from 100% to 70% in increments of 5%, and the currently set game. The luminance of the LED which is the backlight of the board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is included.

  The RTC built-in RAM 4165aa includes calendar information, time information, and brightness setting information, as well as calendar information, time information, and brightness setting information as information on the date, hour, minute, and second that is first stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa. Input date and time information is also stored.

  The peripheral control MPU 1511a performs ON / OFF control of the backlight or ON only when the backlights of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 are of a cold cathode tube type. It is supposed to.

  Various types of information such as calendar information, time information, luminance setting information, and input date and time information stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa are set in the production line of the gaming machine maker. In the manufacturing line, for example, in order to perform various tests such as a display test of the game board effect display device 1600, the year when the input date and time information is input on the manufacturing line as the date and time when the game board effect display device 1600 was first turned on. It is set to the date of manufacture and the date and time of manufacture, which is hours, minutes, and seconds.

  As described above, in addition to the calendar information and the time information, the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa has the brightness setting information and the input date and time information when the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is mounted with the LED type. The information that needs to be maintained can be stored and held independently of the model information of the pachinko machine 1 (for example, the probability of a large hit game state occurring at a low probability or a high probability).

  Also, depending on the environment of the hall in which the pachinko machine 1 is installed, the brightness setting information and the like stored and held in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa may be too bright with the backlight brightness of the game board side effect display device 1600 set at the manufacturing date and time. Sometimes, it is too dark. Therefore, by operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400, the mode shifts to the setting mode, and the luminance of the backlight can be adjusted to a predetermined luminance. After turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 and operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 within a predetermined time, a screen for performing the setting mode is displayed on the game board effect display device 1600. In addition, when the user operates the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 during the period in which the demonstration is performed by the game board effect display device 1600 in the customer waiting state, the setting mode is performed. Is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. The calendar information and the time information are reset by operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 according to the screen of the setting mode, and the brightness of the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is desired. Or the brightness of the image. The adjusted desired luminance of the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is overwritten (updated and stored) as the luminance of the LED stored in the luminance setting information.

  In the setting mode, the peripheral control MPU 1511a executes the above-described brightness correction program, so that when the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is of an LED type, the game board effect is displayed. The luminance decrease due to the aging of the display device 1600 is corrected. The peripheral control MPU 1511a obtains input date and time information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165, specifies the date and time when the game board side effect display device 1600 is first turned on, and sets calendar information and time to specify the date. The current date and time is specified by acquiring the time information specifying the minute and second, and the range of the brightness of the LED, which is the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600, from 100% to 70% is adjusted in 5% steps. Brightness setting information including the brightness adjustment information for performing the setting and the brightness of the LED which is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 currently set. The acquired luminance setting information is corrected based on the correction information stored in advance in the peripheral control ROM 1511b.

  For example, from the date and time when the game board side effect display device 1600 was first turned on and the current date and time, if June has already passed since the date and time when the game board side effect display device 1600 was first turned on, When the corresponding correction information (for example, 5%) is obtained from the peripheral control ROM 1511b, and the brightness of the LED included in the brightness setting information is 75% and the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is turned on, this 75% The luminance of the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is adjusted based on the luminance adjustment information included in the luminance setting information so that the luminance becomes 80%, which is further increased by 5% which is the correction information obtained for. When 12 months have already passed since the date and time when the game board side effect display device 1600 was first turned on, the peripheral control ROM 15 When the corresponding correction information (for example, 10%) is obtained from 1b and the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 is turned on with the brightness of the LED included in the brightness setting information being 75%, the 75% The luminance of the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is adjusted based on the luminance adjustment information included in the luminance setting information so that the luminance becomes 85%, which is further increased by 10% which is the correction information obtained by the correction. Light.

  Note that the current date and time may be specified by directly acquiring the calendar information for specifying the year, month and day and the time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165. The current calendar information set in the calendar information storage unit and updated by the system of the peripheral control board 1510 in the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511c in the current time information acquisition processing of step S1002 in the control unit power-on processing.

[834. Volume control volume]
As described above, the volume control volume 1510a can adjust the volume of music, sound effects, and the like flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 by rotating the knob. As described above, the volume of the volume control volume 1510a is variable when the knob is rotated, and the electrically connected peripheral control A / D converter 1511ak is connected to the knob. The voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position is converted from an analog value to a digital value, and is converted into 1024 values from 0 to 1023. In the present embodiment, as described above, the value of 1024 levels is divided into seven and managed as substrate volumes 0 to 6. The volume is set to mute for the board volume 0, the maximum volume is set for the board volume 6, and the volume is set to increase from the board volume 0 to the board volume 6. The liquid crystal display control unit 1512 (the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source) is controlled so that the volume is set to the board volume 0 to 6, and music and sound effects are played from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  As described above, music and sound effects are played from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 by adjusting the volume based on the turning operation of the knob. Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, in addition to the music and sound effects, a notification sound for notifying a clerk of a hall or the like of the occurrence of a malfunction of the pachinko machine 1 or an illegal act on the pachinko machine 1, (E.g., a screen displayed on the game board effect display device 1600 as a more powerful one, or a notification that there is a high possibility of transition to a gaming state advantageous to the player, or the like). Etc.) also flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573, but the notification sound and the notification sound flow without any dependence on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob, so that the sound from the muffling starts. The volume up to the maximum volume can be adjusted by controlling the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 (the sound source built-in VDP 1512a) by a program.

  The volume adjusted by this program is different from the above-described seven-stage board volume, and can smoothly change from mute to the maximum volume. Thereby, for example, even when a hall clerk or the like turns the knob of the volume control volume 1510a to set the volume to a low level, the effect sound such as music or sound effect flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573. However, when a malfunction occurs in the pachinko machine 1 or when the player is performing a wrongdoing, the notification sound set to a high volume (in the present embodiment, the maximum volume) can be output. Therefore, even if the sound volume of the production sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the clerk in the hall from becoming difficult to notice a malfunction or a fraudulent act of the player due to the notification sound.

  Also, based on the current board volume set by the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob, the volume of the advertising sound is reduced so as not to disturb the music and sound effects, while In addition to music and sound effects by increasing the volume at which the sound is played, the screen developed by the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is directed as a more powerful one, and is advantageous for the player. It is also possible to notify that there is a high possibility of transition to the gaming state.

  In the present embodiment, in addition to adjusting the volume of music and sound effects by rotating the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a, the dial operation unit 401 of the effect operation unit 400 By operating the pressing operation unit 405, the mode shifts to the setting mode, and the volume of music and sound effects can be adjusted. After turning on the power of the pachinko machine 1 and operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 within a predetermined time, a screen for performing the setting mode is displayed on the game board effect display device 1600. In addition, when the user operates the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 during the period in which the demonstration is performed by the game board effect display device 1600 in the customer waiting state, the setting mode is performed. Is displayed on the game board side effect display device 1600. By operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 in accordance with the screen of the setting mode, the volume of music and sound effects can be adjusted to a desired volume. Specifically, the peripheral control A / D converter 1511ak converts the voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position of the knob of the volume control volume 1510a from an analog value to a digital value, and By adding or subtracting a predetermined value according to the operation of the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400, the value of the board volume can be increased or decreased. I have. The adjusted volume is set and updated as a sub-volume value for a track in which sound data of effect sound such as music or sound effect is incorporated among a plurality of tracks in the internal sound source of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. , But is not reflected in the adjustment of the volume of the notification sound or the notification sound.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the volume of the music and the sound effect is adjusted by directly rotating the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a, and the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400. And adding or subtracting a predetermined value in accordance with the above operation to increase or decrease the value of the board volume, thereby adjusting the volume of music or sound effects. Since the volume control volume 1510a is mounted on the peripheral control board 1510, it is necessary to keep the main frame 4 open from the outer frame 2. Then, it is the hall clerk who can turn the knob of the volume adjustment volume 1510a. However, the sound volume adjusted by the hall clerk may be small for the player and difficult to hear the music and sound effects, or may be large for the player and feel noisy for the music and sound effects. Therefore, within a predetermined time after the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the dial operation unit 401 and the press operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 are operated, and the game console effect display device 1600 enters a waiting state for a customer to perform a demonstration. When the dial operation unit 401 or the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 is operated during the period in which the operation is being performed, a screen for performing the setting mode is displayed on the game board effect display device 1600, By operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the effect operation unit 400 in accordance with the setting mode screen, the volume of music and sound effects can be adjusted to a desired volume. Thereby, the player can adjust the volume of the music and the sound effect to a desired volume. Therefore, when it is difficult to hear the music and the sound effect by feeling the volume adjusted by the clerk of the hall low, the effect operation unit 400 The dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 can be operated to increase the volume to a desired volume. If the volume adjusted by the store clerk feels loud and the music and sound effects are loud, the production operation unit By operating the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the 400, the volume can be reduced to a desired volume.

  Further, in the present embodiment, when a state in which no game is performed in the pachinko machine 1 is continued for a predetermined period of time, the state becomes a customer waiting state, and the demonstration by the gaming board side effect display device 1600 is repeatedly performed (for example, 10 times). The volume adjusted by the player who was sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1 and playing a game last time is canceled, and the volume is initialized. In the initialization of the volume, the volume is adjusted by the hall clerk, that is, the volume adjusted by the hall clerk directly rotating the knob of the volume control volume 1510a. Accordingly, when the player who was sitting on the front of the pachinko machine 1 and playing the game last time feels that the adjusted volume is low and it is difficult to hear music and sound effects, this time, the player sits on the front of the pachinko machine 1 this time. The player playing the game can operate the dial operation unit 401 and the pressing operation unit 405 of the staging operation unit 400 to increase the volume up to a desired volume. If the player who has been playing feels loudly at the volume adjusted by the player and feels loud about the music and sound effects, the player who sits on the front of the pachinko machine 1 and plays the game this time can use the dial operation unit 401 of the staging operation unit 400 or the like. By operating the pressing operation unit 405, the volume can be reduced to a desired volume.

Note that the grounds (GND) of the various substrates and the grounds (GND) of the various terminal boards are electrically connected to the ground (GND) of the power supply substrate 931 and are the same ground (GND).

[8-1. Power supply board 931]
The power supply board 931 is electrically connected to a power cord, and a plug of the power cord is inserted into a power outlet of the pachinko island facility. When the power switch 934 is operated, the electric power supplied from the pachinko island equipment is supplied to the power supply board 931 and the power of the pachinko machine 1 can be turned on.

  As shown in FIG. 129, the power supply board 931 includes a power supply control unit 935 and a launch control unit 953. The power supply control unit 935 is a circuit that generates various DC voltages from AC 24 volts (AC 24 V) supplied from the pachinko island facility and supplies backup power to the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951. The unit 953 is a circuit that drives and controls the firing solenoid 682 of the hit ball firing device 650 shown in FIG. 5 and the ball feeding solenoid 255 of the ball feeding unit 250 shown in FIG.

  The power supply control unit 935 includes a synchronous rectification circuit 935a, a power factor improvement circuit 935b, a smoothing circuit 935c, a power generation circuit 935d, and capacitors BC0 and BC1. The AC 24 V supplied from the pachinko island facility is supplied to the connection terminal board 869 for a rental device for game balls and the like via the power supply board 931 and is also supplied to the synchronous rectification circuit 935a. The synchronous rectifier circuit 935a rectifies 24 VAC (24 VAC) supplied from the pachinko island facility and supplies the rectified power to the power factor improving circuit 935b. The power factor improving circuit 935b improves the power factor of the rectified power to generate DC + 37V (DC + 37V, hereinafter referred to as “+ 37V”) and supplies the DC + 37V to the smoothing circuit 935c. The smoothing circuit 935c removes the supplied + 37V ripple, smoothes the + 37V, and supplies the resulting signal to the emission control circuit 953a of the emission control unit 953 and the power generation circuit 935d.

  Capacitor BC0 supplies backup power to a RAM (main control built-in RAM) built in main control MPU 1310a of main control board 1310, and capacitor BC1 is built in payout control MPU 952a of payout control unit 952 in payout control board 951. Backup power to the supplied RAM (RAM with built-in payout control).

  The firing control circuit 953a of the firing control unit 953 uses the + 37V supplied from the smoothing circuit 935c as a driving power source to drive the game ball at a launching strength (firing strength) commensurate with the rotational position of the handle 302, as shown in FIG. By controlling the drive current for launching (firing) toward the ball and controlling the output to the firing solenoid 682, the ball feeding unit 250 outputs a constant current to the ball feeding solenoid 255 to thereby control the ball of the ball feeding unit 250. The feeding member receives one game ball stored in the upper plate 321 of the plate unit 320, and controls to send the game ball received by the ball sending member to the hitting ball firing device 650 side.

  The power supply generation circuit 935d supplies a direct current + 5V (+ 5V DC, hereinafter referred to as "+ 5V"), a + 12V direct current (DC + 12V, hereinafter referred to as "+ 12V") and a direct current from + 37V supplied from the smoothing circuit 935c. +24 V (DC +24 V, hereinafter referred to as “+24 V”) is created and supplied to the payout control board 951 and the frame peripheral relay terminal board 868, respectively. The power system to which + 5V is applied and supplied is a + 5V power line, the power system to which + 12V is applied and supplied is a + 12V power line, and the power system to which + 24V is applied and supplied is a + 24V power line.

  The + 5V generated by the power generation circuit 935d is supplied to the payout control board 951 as described later. + 5V supplied to the payout control board 951 is applied to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU 952a via the payout control filter circuit 951a, and is also applied to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM via the diode PD0. ing. The + 12V generated by the power supply generation circuit 935d is supplied to the + 5V generation circuit 1310g of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 951. The + 5V generating circuit 1310g generates + 5V which is a control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310a from + 12V from the payout control board 951. The + 5V generated by the + 5V generation circuit 1310g is supplied to the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control filter circuit 1310h and to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM via the diode MD0. ing.

  The minus terminal of the capacitor BC1 of the power supply board 931 is grounded to the ground (GND), while the plus terminal of the capacitor BC1 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM of the payout control board 951, and the payout is performed. It is also electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode PD0 of the control board 951. That is, + 5V generated by the power supply generation circuit 935d of the power supply substrate 931 causes a current to flow toward the power supply terminal of the discharge control MPU 952a, and the power supply terminal of the discharge control built-in RAM, which is in the forward direction by the diode PD0, and the capacitor BC1. The current flows toward the plus terminal. As described above, the capacitor BC1 has an electric connection method of + 5V generated by the power supply generation circuit 935d of the power supply substrate 931 by an electric connection method in which the supply control substrate 951 returns to the power supply substrate 931 from the supply control substrate 951. Is supplied and can be charged. Thus, when the + 5V generated by the power supply generation circuit 935d is not supplied to the payout control board 951, the charge charged in the capacitor BC1 is supplied to the payout control board 951 as the payout VBB. Therefore, although the current is interrupted by the diode PD0 to the power supply terminal of the payout control MPU 952a and the current does not flow, the payout control MPU 952a does not operate, but the stored contents are maintained by supplying the power supply terminal VBB to the power supply terminal of the payout control built-in RAM. It has become so.

  The minus terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the power supply board 931 is grounded to the ground (GND), while the plus terminal of the capacitor BC0 is electrically connected to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 951. And is also electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode MD0 of the main control board 1310. In other words, the + 5V generated by the + 5V generation circuit 1310g allows a current to flow toward the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM, which is forward directed by the diode MD0, the plus terminal of the capacitor BC0, The current flows toward. As described above, the capacitor BC0 is charged by supplying + 5V by the electrical connection method in which + 5V generated by the + 5V generation circuit 1310g is supplied from the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951 to the power supply board 931. You can do it. As a result, the + 12V generated by the power supply generation circuit 935d of the power supply board 931 is not supplied to the + 5V generation circuit 1310g of the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 951, and the + 5V generation circuit 1310g can generate + 5V. When the power is exhausted, the charge charged in the capacitor BC0 is supplied to the main control board 1310 via the payout control board 951 as the main VBB. Although the current is interrupted by MD0 and the main control MPU 1310a does not operate because the current does not flow, the main VBB is supplied to the power supply terminal of the main control built-in RAM so that the stored contents are retained.

[8-2. Voltage supplied to each control board etc.]
Next, the outline of the voltage supplied to each control board and the like will be described, and then the voltage mainly supplied to the payout control board and the voltage supplied to the main control board will be described.

[9-1. Main control filter circuit]
As shown in FIG. 131, the main control filter circuit 1310h mainly includes a main control three-terminal filter MIC0. The main control three-terminal filter MIC0 is a T-type filter circuit and has excellent attenuation characteristics magnetically shielded with ferrite. In the main control three-terminal filter MIC0, + 5V generated by the + 5V generation circuit 1310g is applied to the first terminal, the second terminal is grounded to the ground (GND), and the noise component is removed from the third terminal. + 5V is output. The + 5V applied to the first terminal is first connected to the other end of the capacitor MC0 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND), thereby first removing a ripple (AC component superposed on the voltage). And smoothed.

  The + 5V output from the third terminal is electrically connected to the other ends of the capacitor MC1 and the electrolytic capacitor MC2 (in this embodiment, the capacitance: 470 microfarads (μF)), one end of which is grounded to the ground (GND). , The ripples are further removed and smoothed. The smoothed + 5V is applied to the power supply terminal of the main control system reset MIC1, the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0, the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the like. In addition, when a power outage or a momentary power outage occurs and the power from the pachinko island facility is cut off, the electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC2 has a power outage or a momentary power outage at a VDD terminal which is a power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. The voltage is applied as +5 V for a period of about 7 milliseconds (ms) after the generation.

  One end of the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC3 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND). The VSS terminal, which is the ground terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, is grounded to the ground (GND).

  Further, the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a is electrically connected to the anode terminal of the diode MD0 in addition to being electrically connected to the capacitor MC3. The cathode terminal of the diode MD0 is electrically connected to a VBB terminal which is a power supply terminal of a RAM (RAM with built-in main control) built in the main control MPU 1310a, and one end of which is connected to a ground (GND) with a capacitor MC4. Is electrically connected to the other end. The VBB terminal of the main control built-in RAM is electrically connected to the cathode terminal of the diode MD0 and the other end of the capacitor MC4, and is connected to the positive terminal of the capacitor BC0 of the power supply substrate 931 shown in FIG. It is electrically connected to the terminal. That is, the +5 V smoothed by removing the noise component by the main control filter circuit 1310h is applied to the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the VBB terminal of the main control built-in RAM and the capacitor BC0 via the diode MD0. And the plus terminal of As a result, as described above, the +12 V generated by the power supply generation circuit 935 d of the power supply board 931 shown in FIG. When the circuit 1310g cannot generate + 5V, the electric charge charged in the capacitor BC0 is supplied to the main control board 1310 as the main VBB. Therefore, the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a is connected to the VDD terminal of the main control MPU 1310a. Although the current is interrupted by the diode MD0 and does not flow and the main control MPU 1310a does not operate, the stored contents are retained by applying the main VBB to the VBB terminal of the main control built-in RAM.

[9-2. Main control system reset]
The +5 V from which the noise component has been removed and smoothed by the main control filter circuit 1310h is applied to the power supply terminal of the main control system reset MIC1 as shown in FIG. The main control system reset MIC1 resets the main control MPU 1310a and the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca, respectively, and includes a delay circuit. One end of the delay capacitance terminal of the main control system reset MIC1 is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC5 whose one end is grounded (GND), and the capacitance of this capacitor MC5 sets the delay time by the delay circuit. You can do it. Specifically, when + 5V input to the power supply terminal reaches a threshold value (for example, 4.25V), the main control system reset MIC1 outputs a system reset signal from the output terminal after the elapse of the delay time.

  The output terminal of the main control system reset MIC1 is electrically connected to the SRST terminal, which is the reset terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and the reset terminal of the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca. The output terminal is an open collector output type, and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor MR1 which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line, and one end is grounded to the ground (GND). It is electrically connected to the other end of MC6. The ripple is removed and smoothed by the capacitor MC6. When the voltage input to the power supply terminal is higher than the threshold value, the output terminal is pulled up to the +5 V side by the pull-up resistor MR1 and the logic becomes HI, and this logic becomes the SRST terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and the main control output with reset function When the voltage inputted to the reset terminal of the circuit 1310ca is smaller than the threshold value while the voltage inputted to the power supply terminal is smaller than the threshold value, the logic becomes LOW. Each is input to the reset terminal. Since the SRST terminal of the main control MPU 1310a and the reset terminal of the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca are negative logic inputs, when the voltage input to the power supply terminal becomes smaller than the threshold value, the main control MPU 1310a and the reset function The main control output circuit 1310ca is reset. One end of the power supply terminal is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC7 whose one end is grounded, and the + 5V input to the power supply terminal is smoothed by removing a ripple. The ground terminal is grounded to a ground (GND), and the NC terminal is not electrically connected to the outside.

[9-3. Main control crystal oscillator]
The +5 V from which the noise component has been removed and smoothed by the main control filter circuit 1310h is applied to the VDD terminal which is the power supply terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0, as shown in FIG. This VDD terminal is electrically connected at one end to the other end of the capacitor MC8 which is grounded to the ground (GND), and the + 5V input to the VDD terminal is smoothed by further removing ripples. The smoothed +5 V is applied to the output terminal A, the terminal B, the terminal C, and the terminal ST in addition to the VDD terminal. The main control crystal oscillator MX0 outputs a 24 MHz clock signal from the output terminal F by applying + 5V to each of the A terminal, B terminal, C terminal, and ST terminal.

  The F terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0 is electrically connected to the CLK terminal which is a clock terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, and receives a 24 MHz clock signal. The GND terminal, which is the ground terminal of the main control crystal oscillator MX0, is grounded to the ground (GND). It is in a state.

[9-4. Main control input circuit]
The main control input circuit 1310b detects from the general winning opening sensors 4020, 4020, the first starting opening sensor 4002, the second starting opening sensor 4004, the magnetic detection sensor 4024, the count sensor 4005, and the gate sensor 4003 shown in FIG. In addition to the signal, the circuit receives an operation signal (RAM clear signal) from an operation switch 954 provided on the payout control board 951 shown in FIG. 124 and the like. Since the circuit configuration to which the detection signal from each switch is input is the same, only the circuit to which the operation signal (RAM clear signal) from the operation switch 954 is input will be described.

[9-4-1. Circuit to which operation signal (RAM clear signal) from operation switch is input]
First, as described above, the operation switch 954 controls the RAM (payout control built-in RAM) incorporated in the payout control MPU 952a of the payout control board 951 and the main control of the main control board 1310 within a predetermined period from when the power is turned on. The operation is performed when the RAM (main control built-in RAM) built in the MPU 1310a is cleared, or when an error is notified after the power is turned on, the operation is performed to cancel the error. A function of performing RAM clear within a predetermined period from power-on, and an error release after power-on (after a period of performing the function as RAM clear, that is, after a predetermined period from power-on). And a function of performing Since the main control board 1310 does not have a function of canceling an error of the payout control board 951, if an operation signal from the operation switch 954 is input within a predetermined period from power-on, the main control board 1310 The main control built-in RAM is cleared by judging it as a RAM clear signal to clear the built-in RAM.

  When the operation switch 954 is not operated, an operation signal whose logic is LOW is input from the payout control board 951 to the main control board 1310. On the other hand, when the operation switch 954 is operated, the logic is output from the payout control board 951. HI is input from the payout control board 951 (a detailed description of this point will be described later).

  As shown in FIG. 131, the transmission line for transmitting the operation signal from the operation switch 954 provided in the payout control board 951 within a predetermined period from the time of turning on the power is a pull-up having one end electrically connected to the + 12V power line. It is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR2 and is also electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0 via the resistor MR3. The base terminal of the transistor MTR0 is electrically connected to the resistor MR3 and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR4 whose one end is grounded (GND). The emitter terminal of the transistor MTR0 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR5, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line, and a non-inverting buffer. The main control is performed via the ICMIC 10 (the non-inverting buffer ICMIC 10 includes eight non-inverting buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs the signal waveform input to one (MIC 10A) without inverting the logic). It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the MPU 1310a.

  The circuit for outputting the operation signal from the operation switch 954 in the payout control board 951 is configured as an open collector output type in which the emitter terminal is grounded to the ground (GND), and transmits the operation signal from the operation switch 954. The line is pulled up to the +12 V side by the pull-up resistor MR2. When the operation switch 954 is not operated, the operation signal from the payout control substrate 951 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side and the logic becomes LOW, and the main control board 1310 is operated while the operation switch 954 is operated. In this case, the operation signal from the payout control board 951 is pulled up to the +12 V side by the pull-up resistor MR2, and the logic becomes HI and inputted.

  A circuit including the resistors MR3 and MR4 and the transistor MTR0 is a switch circuit that is turned on / off by an operation signal from the operation switch 954.

  When the operation switch 954 is not operated, an operation signal whose logic becomes LOW is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0, so that the transistor MTR0 is turned off and the switch circuit is also turned off. Thereby, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is pulled up to the +5 V side by the resistor MR5, and the operation signal from the operation switch 954 whose logic becomes HI is input to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. Is done. When the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 input to the input terminal PA0 is HI, the main control MPU 1310a must instruct that the RAM stored in the main control built-in RAM be erased to clear the RAM. to decide.

  On the other hand, when the operation switch 954 is operated, the operation signal which is pulled up to the +12 V side by the pull-up resistor MR2 and whose logic becomes HI is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR0 to turn on the transistor MTR0, and the switch MTR0 is turned on. The circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR0 is reduced to the ground (GND) side, and the operation signal from the operation switch 954 whose logic becomes LOW is input to the input terminal PA0 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. Is done. When the logical value of the operation signal from the operation switch 954 input to the input terminal PA0 is LOW, the main control MPU 1310a instructs to perform a RAM clear for deleting information stored in the main control built-in RAM. Judge.

  The operation signal from the operation switch 954 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistor MR2. This is because the operation signal from the operation switch 954 is input via the payout control board 951. That is, between the main control board 1310 and the payout control board 951, the voltage is higher than the control reference voltage of +5 V in order to suppress the influence of noise entering the wiring (harness) that electrically connects the boards. The reliability of the signal is increased by using the voltage of + 12V. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the detection signals from the general winning opening sensor 4020, the first starting opening sensor 4002, and the second starting opening sensor 4004, which are directly input to the main control board 1310, are shifted to the + 5V side by the pull-up resistor. While being pulled up, the detection signals from the magnetic detection sensor 4024, the vibration detection sensor 4026, the count sensor 4005, the general winning opening sensor 4020, and the gate sensor 4003 input via the panel relay board 4161 shown in FIG. Since it is not directly input to the main control board 1310, it is pulled up to the + 12V side by a pull-up resistor similarly to the operation signal from the operation switch 954.

[9-5. Power failure monitoring circuit]

The power failure monitoring circuit 1310e monitors + 12V and + 24V signs of a power failure or a momentary power failure, and when detecting a power failure or a momentary power failure sign, outputs a power failure warning signal as a power failure warning in addition to the main control MPU 1310a and a payout control board. 951 to the payout control MPU 952 a and the peripheral control board 1510. Here, the configuration of the power failure monitoring circuit will be described first, followed by monitoring of a +24 V power failure or momentary power failure, monitoring of a +12 V power failure or momentary power failure, and output of a power failure warning signal.

  The REF terminal, which is a reference voltage input terminal, and the K terminal, which is a cathode terminal, of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit MIC20 are electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR20, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line. +5 V is applied, and the current input to the REF terminal is limited by the resistor MR20. The K terminal outputs a reference voltage Vref (in this embodiment, 2.495 V is set) serving as a comparison reference voltage of the comparator MIC21. The K terminal is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC20 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND), and the reference voltage Vref output from the K terminal is rippled (multiplied by the voltage) by the capacitor MC20. AC component) is removed and smoothed. The A terminal, which is the anode terminal of the shunt-type stabilized power supply circuit MIC20, is grounded to the ground (GND).

  The comparator MIC21 includes two voltage comparison circuits, one of which (MIC21A) is used to compare the + 24V monitoring voltage V1 with the reference voltage Vref, and the other one (MIC21B) is used. , +12 V and the reference voltage Vref. The third terminal, which is the positive terminal of the MIC 21A, is applied with the monitoring voltage V1 of +24 V, and the second terminal, which is the negative terminal of the MIC 21A, is applied with the reference voltage Vref. A monitoring terminal V2 of +12 V is applied to a fifth terminal, which is a plus terminal of the MIC 21B, and a reference voltage Vref is applied to a sixth terminal, which is a minus terminal of the MIC 21B. These comparison results are input to the D-type flip-flop MIC22. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 includes two D-type flip-flop circuits, one of which (MIC22A) is used in the present embodiment. The Vcc terminal which is a power supply terminal of the comparator MIC21 is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC21 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND). The ripple is removed and smoothed by the capacitor MC21, and the GND terminal which is the ground terminal of the comparator MIC21 is grounded to the ground (GND).

[9-5-2. Monitoring of + 24V power failure or momentary power failure]

As shown in FIG. 132, a third terminal, which is a plus terminal of the MIC 21A of the comparator MIC21 to which the + 24V monitoring voltage V1 is applied, is connected to the other end of the resistor MR21 whose one end is electrically connected to the + 24V power supply line and one end. Is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR22, which is grounded to the ground (GND), and the other ends of the resistors MR21, MR22, and the other end of the capacitor MC23, one end of which is grounded to the ground (GND). Are electrically connected. The +24 V monitoring voltage V1 applied to the third terminal, which is the plus terminal of the MIC 21A of the comparator MIC 21, is divided by +24 V by the resistance ratio of the resistors MR21 and MR22, and the ripple is removed and smoothed by the capacitor MC23. . The values of the resistors MR21 and MR22 are set to a preset power failure detection voltage V1pf (set to 21.40V in the present embodiment) when the voltage starts to fall from + 24V when + 24V fails or momentarily stops. , The monitoring voltage V1 of +24 V is set to have the same value as the reference voltage Vref.

  The first terminal which is the output terminal of the MIC 21A of the comparator MIC 21 has an open collector output, and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor MR23 which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line. One end is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC24 grounded to the ground (GND), and is electrically connected to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22. The capacitor MC24 has a role as a low-pass filter.

  When the voltage of + 24V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V1pf, the monitoring voltage V1 of + 24V becomes higher than the reference voltage Vref, and the voltage applied to the first terminal which is the output terminal of the MIC21A of the comparator MIC21 is + 5V by the pull-up resistor MR23. The signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

And the signal whose logic becomes LOW is input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

[9-5-3. Monitoring of + 12V power failure or momentary power failure]
As described above, the monitoring of the power failure or instantaneous power failure of +12 V is performed by the MIC 21B of the comparator MIC21 comparing the monitoring voltage V2 of +12 V with the reference voltage Vref. As shown in FIG. 132, the fifth terminal, which is the plus terminal of the MIC 21B of the comparator MIC21 to which the + 12V monitoring voltage V2 is applied, is connected to the other end of the resistor MR24, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 12V power supply line, and the other end. The other end of the resistor MR25, which is electrically connected to the ground (GND) and the other end of the resistors MR24 and MR25, and the other end of the capacitor MC25 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND), Are electrically connected. The +12 V monitoring voltage V2 applied to the fifth terminal, which is the plus terminal of the MIC 21B of the comparator MIC 21, is divided by +12 V by the resistance ratio of the resistors MR24 and MR25, and the ripple is removed by the capacitor MC25 and smoothed. . The values of the resistors MR24 and MR25 are set to a preset power failure detection voltage V2pf (set to 10.47 V in the present embodiment) when the voltage of + 12V starts to fall from + 12V when a power failure or momentary power failure occurs. , The monitoring voltage V2 of +12 V is set to have the same value as the reference voltage Vref.

  The 7th terminal which is the output terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21 is an open collector output, and is electrically connected to the 1st terminal which is the output terminal of the MIC21A. Is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor MR23 which is electrically connected, and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC24 which is grounded to the ground (GND) to preset the D-type flip-flop MIC22. The terminal is electrically connected to a PR terminal. The capacitor MC24 plays a role as a low-pass filter as described above.

  When the voltage of +12 V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V2pf, the monitoring voltage V2 of +12 V becomes higher than the reference voltage Vref. The signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

  On the other hand, when the voltage of +12 V is lower than the power failure detection voltage V2pf, the monitoring voltage V2 of +12 V becomes lower than the reference voltage Vref, and the voltage applied to the seventh terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC21B of the comparator MIC21, is ground (GND). And the signal whose logic becomes LOW is input to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

[9-5-4. Output of power failure notice signal]
The D-type flip-flop MIC22 stores the value (logic) of the signal input to the 1D terminal as the D input terminal in response to a change in the edge of the clock signal input to the 1CK terminal as the clock input terminal. (Logic) is output from the output terminal 1Q terminal, and a value obtained by inverting the stored value (logic) is output from the output terminal negative logic 1Q terminal. Further, when a signal whose logic becomes LOW is inputted to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 releases the latch state and changes the logic of the signal inputted to the PR terminal which is a preset terminal. The inverted signal is output from the output terminal 1Q terminal (at this time, a signal obtained by inverting the logic of the signal output from 1Q, that is, the same logic as the signal input to the preset terminal PR terminal). On the other hand, when the signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the CLR terminal which is the clear terminal, the latch state is set. In addition, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 is configured such that when a signal whose logic becomes HI is inputted to the CLR terminal which is a clear terminal and the latch state is set, the logic of the PR terminal which is a preset terminal is LOW. Is maintained, a state where a signal whose logic is HI is output from the output terminal 1Q is maintained (at this time, a signal obtained by inverting the logic of the signal output from the 1Q is a negative logic). The state of output from the 1Q terminal is maintained).

  In the D-type flip-flop MIC22, in the present embodiment, the 1D terminal as the D input terminal and the 1CK terminal as the clock input terminal are each grounded to the ground (GND), so that the 1CK terminal as the clock input terminal is connected to the 1CK terminal as the clock input terminal. The circuit is configured so that the edge of the input clock signal does not change, the value (logic) of the signal input to the 1D terminal as the D input terminal is stored, and is not output from the 1Q terminal as the output terminal. ing. As described above, the D-type flip-flop MIC22 supplies a signal from the first terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC21A of the comparator MIC21, for monitoring the power failure or instantaneous power failure of + 24V to the PR terminal which is the preset terminal, and the power failure of + 12V. Alternatively, a signal from the seventh terminal, which is the output terminal of the MIC 21B of the comparator MIC21 that monitors the momentary interruption, is input, and a signal is output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal, based on these signals. The Vcc terminal, which is a power supply terminal, is electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor MC22 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND), and is applied to the Vcc terminal, which is a power supply terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

  In the present embodiment, in the D-type flip-flop MIC22, a power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is input to a CLR terminal which is a clear terminal via a main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca. The power outage clear signal is output after the main control MPU 1310a performs power-on processing to be described later and is stopped after a predetermined time has elapsed. Since the CLR terminal is a negative logic input, the logic of the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a becomes LOW via the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca, and is input to the CLR terminal. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 releases the latch state when the power failure clear signal is input to the CLR terminal. At this time, the logic input to the PR terminal, which is a preset terminal, is inverted and the output terminal is inverted. Is output from the 1Q terminal.

  On the other hand, when the output of the power failure clear signal from the main control MPU 1310a is stopped, the logic becomes HI through the main control output circuit with reset function 1310ca and is input to the CLR terminal. The D-type flip-flop MIC22 sets a latch state when a power failure clear signal is not input to the CLR terminal, and latches a state in which the logic is input to the PR terminal as LOW.

  The 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, is electrically connected to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a via the main control input circuit 1310b, and is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22.

It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the MPU 1310a.

  On the other hand, when one of the condition that the voltage of +24 V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12 V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V2pf is satisfied, the signal whose logic becomes LOW is D. Since the signal is input to the PR terminal, which is a preset terminal of the type flip-flop MIC22, the signal output from the 1Q terminal, which is the output terminal of the D-type flip-flop MIC22, becomes logic HI and is input to the base terminal of the transistor MTR20. This turns on the transistor MTR20. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR20 is reduced to the ground (GND) side, and the power failure notice signal whose logic becomes LOW through the non-inverting buffer ICMIC23 is input to the input terminal PA of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a.

  In this way, the VDD terminal, which is the power supply terminal of the main control MPU 1310a, is charged to the electrolytic capacitor MC2 (in this embodiment, the capacitance: 470 μF) shown in FIG. 131 when a power failure or momentary power failure occurs. The main charge serial transmission port 1310ae built in the main control MPU 1310a serially manages at least a command set by the main control CPU core 1310aa in its transmission buffer register 1310aeb. The data can be transferred to the transmission shift register 41aea by the unit 1310aec, and transmission can be completed from the transmission shift register 1310aea as main serial data.

  As described above, the main circumference serial data transmission signal transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 is connected to a wiring (harness) that electrically connects the boards between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. In order to suppress the influence of the intruding noise, the reliability is improved by transmitting using + 12V which is higher than + 5V which is the control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310a.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, when a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs, the charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor MC50 is applied as +12 V from the main control board 1310 to the anode terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control board 1510. Therefore, the main circumference serial transmission port 1310ae built in the main control MPU 1310a transfers the command set by the main control CPU core 1310aa to the transmission buffer register 1310aeb to the transmission shift register 41aea by the serial management unit 1310aec and transmits it. When transmission is performed from the shift register 1310aea as main serial data, a main serial data transmission signal whose logic is set to HI by + 12V can be transmitted from the collector terminal of the transistor MTR50.

  In this embodiment, the storage capacity of the transmission buffer register 1310aeb of the main serial transmission port 1310ae built in the main control MPU 1310a has 32 bytes, and one packet is composed of 3 bytes of data. Therefore, data for a maximum of 10 packets is stored in the transmission buffer register 1310aeb. In the present embodiment, the transfer bit rate of the main serial data transmitted from the main control MPU 1310a is set to 19200 bps.

  The cathode terminal (third terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 is electrically connected to the collector terminal of the transistor MTR50 of the main control board 1310 via the resistor AR10 and its wiring (harness). The resistor AR10 of the peripheral control board 1510 is a limiting resistor for limiting the current flowing through the built-in infrared LED of the photocoupler AIC10.

  The TXB terminal for outputting the main circumference serial data transmission signal from the main control MPU 1310a shown in FIG. 131 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR50, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line, and is connected to the resistor MR51. It is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 through the gate. The base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is electrically connected to the resistor MR51, and is also electrically connected to the other end of the resistor MR52 whose one end is grounded (GND). The emitter terminal of the transistor MTR50 is connected to ground (GND).

  The circuit composed of the resistors MR51 and MR52 and the transistor MTR50 is a switch circuit. When the logic of the main serial data transmission signal is HI, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is shifted to the ground (GND) side. As a result, the transistor MTR50 is turned off and the switch circuit is also turned off. As a result, the forward current does not flow through the built-in infrared LED of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control board 1510, so that the photocoupler AIC10 is turned off. On the other hand, when the logic of the main circumference serial data transmission signal is LOW, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is pulled up to the +5 V side by the resistor MR50, the transistor MTR50 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on. . As a result, a forward current flows through the built-in infrared LED of the photocoupler AIC10 of the peripheral control board 1510, and the photocoupler AIC10 is turned on.

  To the anode terminal of the diode AD10 of the peripheral control board 1510, + 5V supplied from the power supply board 931 is applied via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, and the cathode terminal of the diode AD10 is connected to the ground terminal (GND). It is electrically connected to the plus terminal of the grounded electrolytic capacitor AC10. The cathode terminal of the diode AD10 is electrically connected to a positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor AC10 and also to a Vcc terminal (terminal No. 6) which is a power supply terminal of the photocoupler AIC10. The emitter terminal (the fourth terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal (the fifth terminal) of the photocoupler AIC10 is a pull-up resistor that is electrically connected to the plus terminal of the electrolytic capacitor AC10. It is pulled up to the +5 V side by AR11 and is electrically connected to the input terminal of the serial I / O port for the main control board of the peripheral control MPU 1511a. When the photocoupler AIC10 is turned ON / OFF, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 changes, and the signal is used as a main circumference serial data transmission signal for the main control board serial I / O port of the peripheral control MPU 1511a. Input terminal.

  Accordingly, as described above, for example, when +5 V supplied from the power supply substrate 931 is not supplied to the peripheral control substrate 1510 via the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 due to the occurrence of a power failure or a momentary power failure, The electric charge charged in the electrolytic capacitor AC10 can be continuously applied to the Vcc terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 as + 5V. When power or a momentary power failure occurs, by applying +5 V from the electrolytic capacitor AC10, a main circumference serial data transmission signal transmitted from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a to the peripheral control board 1510 is transmitted to the main control MPU 1310a. The transmission of the data set in the transmission buffer register 1310aeb of the built-in main circumference serial transmission port 1310ae can be completed, and the main circumference serial data transmission signal during transmission, that is, the main circumference serial data is cut off. The peripheral control board 1510 can reliably receive the data without being lost.

  When the logic of the main circumference serial data transmission signal transmitted from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a to the peripheral control board 1510 is HI, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is lowered to the ground (GND) side and the transistor Since the photocoupler AIC10 is turned off when the MTR 50 is turned off, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 is raised to the +5 V side by the pull-up resistor AR11, and the logic becomes HI. While the serial data transmission signal is input to the input terminal of the serial I / O port for the main control board of the peripheral control MPU 1511a, the logic of the main circumference serial data transmission signal transmitted from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a to the peripheral control board 1510 Is LOW Is applied to the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 because the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor MTR50 is pulled up to the +5 V side by the resistor MR50 and the transistor MTR50 is turned on to turn on the photocoupler AIC10. The main serial data transmission signal whose logic becomes LOW due to the lowered voltage being pulled down to the ground (GND) side is input to the input terminal of the main control board serial I / O port of the peripheral control MPU 1511a. As described above, the logic of the main serial data transmission signal output from the collector terminal of the photocoupler AIC10 is the same as the logic of the main serial data transmission signal transmitted from the TXB terminal of the main control MPU 1310a to the peripheral control board 1510. It is the logic of.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, the + 5V power supply line to which + 5V which is the control reference voltage of the main control MPU 1310a is applied, and the + 12V power supply line to which + 12V which is the communication voltage applied through the diode MD50 is applied. However, measures are taken when a power failure or momentary power failure occurs and the control reference voltage and the communication voltage drop. That is, for the main circumference serial transmission port 1310ae built in the main control MPU 1310a, a + 5V power supply line, a plus terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 using the electrolytic capacitor MC2 of the main control filter circuit 1310h as a first auxiliary power supply, Are electrically connected in parallel, even if a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs and the control reference voltage applied from the + 5V power supply line is reduced, the electrolytic capacitor of the main control filter circuit 1310h as the first auxiliary power supply By applying the control reference voltage from the plus terminal of MC2, the state in which the control reference voltage is applied can be maintained. The control reference voltage includes a resistor MR50, resistors MR51 and MR52, and a transistor MTR50. With no reset function to function as a communication interface circuit For the output circuit 1310cb, + 12V applied to the + 12V power supply line is applied as a communication voltage to the anode terminal of the diode MD50, and the cathode terminal of the diode MD50 and the positive terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC50 as the second auxiliary power supply. Even if a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs and the communication voltage applied from the + 12V power supply line via the diode MD50 decreases due to the electrical parallel connection between the terminal and the terminal, the terminal is the second auxiliary power supply. By applying the communication voltage from the plus terminal of the electrolytic capacitor MC50, the state where the communication voltage is applied can be maintained. Thus, the command being transmitted from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510 can be prevented from being interrupted, and the command can be prevented from being lost, so that the peripheral control board 1510 can reliably receive the command being transmitted. can do. Therefore, it is possible to eliminate missing commands immediately after the occurrence of a power failure or at the time of a momentary power failure.

  The plurality of commands set in the transmission buffer register 1310aeb of the main circumference serial transmission port 1310ae built in the main control MPU 1310a are all configured as main circumference serial data and are constituted by a resistor MR50, resistors MR51 and MR52, and a transistor MTR50. 470 μF is set as the capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor MC2 of the main control filter circuit 1310h so that transmission to the peripheral control board 1510 can be completed via the main control output circuit 1310cb without a reset function to function as a communication interface circuit. The capacitance of the electrolytic capacitor MC50 is set to 220 μF. Thereby, even if a power failure or a momentary power failure occurs during transmission from the main control board 1310 to the peripheral control board 1510, a reset that allows all the commands set in the transmission buffer register 1310aeb to function as an interface circuit as main circumference serial data. Since the transmission to the peripheral control board 1510 can be completed through the non-functional main control output circuit 1310cb, the peripheral control board 1510 does not cut off or delete a plurality of commands set in the transmission buffer register 1310aeb. Can be reliably received.

The base terminal of the transistor PTR23 is electrically connected to the resistor PR29, and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR30 which is grounded to the ground (GND). The first terminal of the body frame release switch 619 is electrically connected to the pull-up resistor PR28, and is also electrically connected to the other end of the capacitor PC21 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND). . The emitter terminal of the transistor PTR23 is grounded to ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 is electrically connected to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR21, and is connected to the external terminal plate 784 via a wiring (harness). It is electrically connected. When the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 is electrically connected to the external terminal plate 784 via a wiring (harness), the external terminal plate 784 has one end electrically connected to a + 12V power supply line (not shown). It is electrically connected to the other end of the up resistor. When the transistor PTR23 is turned ON / OFF, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 changes, and the signal is input to the external terminal board 784 as an outer frame door open information output signal.

  The first terminal of the body frame release switch 619 is pulled up to the +5 V side by a pull-up resistor PR28 and is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR23 via a resistor PR29. And is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR24 via the resistor PR31. In addition to the base terminal of the transistor PTR24 being electrically connected to the resistor PR31, one end is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR32 whose one end is grounded (GND). The emitter terminal of the transistor PTR24 is grounded to the ground (GND), the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 is electrically connected to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR22, and shown in FIG. 123 via a wiring (harness). It is electrically connected to main control board 1310. Note that when the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 is electrically connected to the main control board 1310 via a wiring (harness), one end of the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 has a + 12V power supply in the main control input circuit 1310b of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. It is electrically connected to the other end of a pull-up resistor (not shown) that is electrically connected to the line. When the transistor PTR24 is turned on / off, the logic of a signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 changes, and the signal is input to the main control board 1310 as a main frame door open signal.

  The circuit composed of the pull-up resistor PR28 and the capacitor PC21 is a switch signal generation circuit, and when the main frame 4 is opened from the outer frame 2 or when the main frame 4 is closed by the outer frame 2, It is configured as a circuit that also has a function of absorbing a voltage change from the body frame opening switch 619 due to a fluttering phenomenon in which a contact constituting the body frame opening switch 619 repeats ON / OFF for a short time.

  When the main body frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2, the main body frame open switch 619 is ON, so that the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR23 is lowered to the ground (GND) side so that the transistor PTR23 is turned off. It turns off and the switch circuit also turns off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 is pulled up to +12 V by the pull-up resistance of the external terminal plate 784 via the wiring (harness), and the outer end frame door opening information output signal whose logic becomes HI is output. Is input to the external terminal plate 784. In addition, when the main frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2, the main frame open switch 619 is ON, so that the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR24 is reduced to the ground (GND) side so that the transistor is turned off.

  On the other hand, when the main frame 4 is closed by the outer frame 2, the main frame opening switch 619 is OFF, so that the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR 23 is pulled up to +5 V by the pull-up resistor PR 28. As a result, the transistor PTR23 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR23 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side on the external terminal plate 784 via the wiring (harness), and the outer end frame door opening information output signal whose logic becomes LOW is output. It is input to the external terminal plate 784. Further, when the main frame 4 is closed by the outer frame 2, the main frame opening switch 619 is OFF, so that the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR24 is pulled up to + 5V by the pull-up resistor PR28. As a result, the transistor PTR24 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR24 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side in the main control board 1310 via the wiring (harness), and the main frame door opening signal whose logic becomes LOW is sent to the main control board. 1310.

  As described above, when the main body frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2, when the main body frame open switch 619 is turned on, the outer end frame door open information output signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the external terminal plate 784.

Because it is supposed to be entered, A frame door opening information output signal is transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784, and the hall computer determines whether the door frame 3 is opened from the main body frame 4 based on the outer end frame door opening information output signal. Or, it is not possible to determine whether the main frame 4 is open from the outer frame 2, but the player that the door frame 3 and / or the main frame 4 is open does not normally occur during the game. Can be determined.

  Further, in the present embodiment, as described above, the normally open switches of the door frame opening switch 618 and the main body frame opening switch 619 are employed, so that the door frame opening switch 618 is short-circuited for some reason and the switch is turned ON ( Even if the switch is turned on (conducting), the door frame 3 is opened from the main frame 4 and the main frame opening switch 619 is short-circuited and the switch is turned on (conducting) for some reason. 4 is released from the outer frame 2. As described above, by adopting the normally closed switches for the door frame opening switch 618 and the body frame opening switch 619, the main frame door opening signal can be output to the main control board 1310 even when a short circuit occurs, and the outer end The frame door opening information output signal can be transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784.

  When the door frame opening switch 618 and the body frame opening switch 619 are changed from a normally closed switch to a normally open (normally open (NO)) switch (a door frame opening switch 618 ′ and a body frame opening switch 619 ′). The door frame opening switch 618 'is turned on (conducting) when the door frame 3 is closed from the main body frame 4, and is turned off (disconnected) when the door frame 3 is opened to the main body frame 4. . The body frame opening switch 619 ′ is turned on (conducting) when the body frame 4 is closed from the outer frame 2, and is turned off (disconnected) when the body frame 4 is opened to the outer frame 2. Then, even if the door frame opening switch 618 'is disconnected for some reason and the switch is turned off (disconnected), the door frame 3 is opened from the main body frame 4 and the main body frame 4 is opened for some reason. Even when the frame opening switch 619 'is disconnected and the switch is turned off (disconnected), the main frame 4 is released from the outer frame 2. As described above, even when a normally open switch is used for the door frame opening switch 618 ′ and the body frame opening switch 619 ′, a main frame door opening signal can be output to the main control board 1310 even when a disconnection occurs. The outer end frame door opening information output signal can be transmitted to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784.

[10-2-3 (c). Circuit to which the payout power failure notice signal from the power failure monitoring circuit is input]
The transmission line for transmitting the payout power failure notice signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e provided in the main control board 1310 is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor PR40, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 12V power supply line. It is electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR40 via PR41. The base terminal of the transistor PTR40 is electrically connected to the resistor PR41, and one end is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR42, which is grounded (GND). The emitter terminal of the transistor PTR40 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR43, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line, and a non-inverting buffer. Dispensing control via the ICPIC 40 (the non-inverting buffer ICPIC 40 includes eight non-inverting buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs the logic of the signal waveform input to one (PIC 40A) without inverting it). It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the MPU 952a. When the transistor PTR40 is turned on / off, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 changes, and the signal is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a as a payout power failure notice signal.

  A circuit composed of the resistors PR41 and PR42 and the transistor PTR40 is a switch circuit that is turned on / off by a payout power failure notice signal from a power failure monitoring circuit 1310e provided on the main control board 1310.

  As described above, the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e monitors the signs of the power failure or the instantaneous interruption of the two types of voltages of + 12V and + 24V from the power supply board 931. A payout power failure notice signal is output to the payout control board 951 as a power failure notice via the main control output circuit 1310cb. The power failure monitoring circuit 1310e monitors the power failure or the instantaneous power failure of the voltages of + 12V and + 24V, and as described above, the condition that the voltage of + 24V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and that the voltage of + 12V is higher than the power failure detection voltage V2pf. When both conditions of the large value are satisfied, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the subsequent transistor MTR22 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side on the payout control board 951 via the wiring (harness), and the logic becomes LOW. While the paid outage power failure notice signal is input to the payout control board 951, one of the condition that the voltage of + 24V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of + 12V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V2pf. When the condition is satisfied, the correction of the transistor MTR22 in the subsequent stage is performed. Payout power failure warning signal which logic becomes HI by the voltage applied to the data terminal is pulled + 12V side by the pull-up resistor PR40 described above via wiring (harness) is input to the payout control board 951.

  When both the condition that the voltage of +24 V is greater than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12 V is greater than the power failure detection voltage V2pf are satisfied, that is, there is no sign of a power failure or momentary power failure of the voltages of +12 V and +24 V. At this time, since the payout power failure notice signal whose logic is LOW is input to the payout control board 951, the voltage applied to the base terminal of the transistor PTR40 is reduced to the ground (GND) side, so that the transistor PTR40 is turned off. The voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is pulled up to + 5V by the resistor PR43. As a result, the payout power failure notice signal whose logic has become HI is input from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  On the other hand, when either one of the condition that the voltage of +24 V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V1pf and the condition that the voltage of +12 V is smaller than the power failure detection voltage V2pf is satisfied, that is, the voltage of +12 V and / or +24 V When there is a sign of a power outage or momentary power outage, the payout power outage notice signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the payout control board 951. The voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is turned on by pulling up the voltage to the + 12V side by the pull-up resistor PR40, and the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 is reduced to the ground (GND) side. As a result, the payout power failure notice signal in which the logic of the collector terminal of the transistor PTR40 becomes LOW is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a.

  As described above, when there is a sign of a power failure or an instantaneous power failure of the voltage of +12 V and / or +24 V, the payout power failure notice signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a, When there is no sign of a power failure or an instantaneous power failure of the voltages of +12 V and +24 V, the payout power failure notice signal whose logic becomes LOW is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the payout control MPU 952a. This is because, as described above, when there is a sign of a power failure or a momentary power failure of the voltage of +12 V and / or +24 V, the power failure notice signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. On the other hand, when there is no sign of a power failure or instantaneous power failure of the voltages of +12 V and +24 V, a power failure notice signal is input to the input terminal PA1 of the input port PA of the main control MPU 1310a. , The logic of the payout power failure notification signal input to the payout control MPU 952a and the logic of the power failure warning signal input to the main control MPU 1310a are the same logic.

[10-2-3 (d). Circuit to which detection signal from full tank detection sensor is input]
The detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 provided in the foul cover unit 270 shown in FIG. 1 is sent to the payout control board 951 via the handle relay terminal plate 315 shown in FIG. 1 and the power supply board 931 shown in FIG. Has been entered. The output terminal of the full tank detection sensor 279 is configured as an open collector output type whose emitter terminal is grounded to ground (GND), and one end of the output terminal is electrically connected to a + 12V power supply line on the payout control board 951. It is electrically connected to the other end of the pull-up resistor PR44a, and also electrically connected to the first terminal of the three-terminal filter PIC50 for the full tank detection sensor. The three-terminal filter PIC50 for a full tank detection sensor is a T-type filter circuit and has excellent attenuation characteristics magnetically shielded with ferrite.

  The second terminal of the three-terminal filter PIC50 for the full tank detection sensor is grounded to the ground (GND), and the third terminal of the three-terminal filter PIC50 for the full tank detection sensor is connected to the third terminal PIC50 through the resistor PR44b. It is electrically connected to the first terminal of the terminal filter PIC50, and is also electrically connected to the base terminal of the transistor PTR41 via the resistor PR45. As a result, the detection signal of the full tank detection sensor 279 is input to the base terminal of the transistor PTR41 after the noise component is removed by the three-terminal filter PIC50 for the full tank detection sensor. The base terminal of the transistor PTR41 is electrically connected to the resistor PR45, and is also electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR46 whose one end is grounded to the ground (GND), and has one end connected to the ground (GND). It is electrically connected to the other end of the electrically connected capacitor PC40. The capacitor PC40 has a role as a low-pass filter. The emitter terminal of the transistor PTR41 is grounded to the ground (GND), and the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 is electrically connected to the other end of the resistor PR47, one end of which is electrically connected to the + 5V power supply line, and a non-inverting buffer. Dispensing control via the ICPIC 40 (the non-inverting buffer ICPIC 40 includes eight non-inverting buffer circuits, and shapes and outputs the signal waveform input to one (PIC 40B) without inverting the logic). It is electrically connected to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the MPU 952a. When the transistor PTR41 is turned on / off, the logic of the signal output from the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 changes, and the signal is input to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the dispensing control MPU 952a as a full signal.

  The circuit composed of the resistors PR45 and PR46 and the transistor PTR41 is a switch circuit that is turned on / off by a detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279.

  As described above, the full tank detection sensor 279 detects whether or not the accommodation space in the second ball passage of the foul cover unit 270 is full with the stored game balls. In the present embodiment, when the accommodation space is not full with the stored game balls, the voltage applied to the output terminal of the fullness detection sensor 279 is applied via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply board 931 to When the signal which has been pulled up to the + 12V side by the pull-up resistor 44a and whose logic has become HI in the payout control board 951 is input to the payout control board 951, the accommodation space is filled with the stored game balls. , The voltage applied to the output terminal of the full tank detection sensor 279 is pulled down to the ground (GND) side on the dispensing control board 951 via the handle relay terminal board 315 and the power supply board 931, and the signal becomes logic LOW. Is input to the payout control board 951.

  When the accommodation space is not full with the stored game balls, the voltage applied to the output terminal of the fullness detection sensor 279 is applied to the payout control board 951 via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply board 931. When a signal whose logic is set to HI by being pulled up to the +12 V side by the pull-up resistor 44a is input to the base terminal of the transistor PTR41, the transistor PTR41 is turned on, and the switch circuit is also turned on. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 is reduced to the ground (GND) side, and the full signal whose logic becomes LOW is input to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the dispensing control MPU 952a.

  On the other hand, when the accommodation space is full with the stored game balls, the voltage applied to the output terminal of the fullness detection sensor 279 is supplied to the payout control board via the handle relay terminal plate 315 and the power supply board 931. In 951, when a signal whose logic is LOW due to being pulled down to the ground (GND) side is input to the base terminal of the transistor PTR41, the transistor PTR41 is turned off, and the switch circuit is also turned off. As a result, the voltage applied to the collector terminal of the transistor PTR41 is raised to the +5 V side by the resistor PR47, and the full signal whose logic becomes HI is input to the input terminal PA2 of the input port PA of the dispensing control MPU 952a.

  In the present embodiment, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is input to the switch circuit including the resistor PR45, the resistor PR46, and the transistor PTR41 via the three-terminal filter PIC50 for the full tank detection sensor. Although the circuit configuration is used, the detection signals from various detection switches such as the out-of-ball detection sensor 827 and the payout detection sensor 842 shown in FIG. 124 are supplied to a T-type filter circuit such as a three-terminal filter PIC50 for a full tank detection sensor. This is a circuit configuration that is directly input to each switch circuit without intervention. Since the full tank detection sensor 279 is provided in the foul cover unit 270 attached to the door frame 3, the tank fullness detection sensor 279 is compared with the out-of-ball detection sensor 827, the ejection detection sensor 842, and the like provided in the ejection device 830 attached to the main body frame 4. However, the path for transmitting the detection signal becomes extremely long, and is extremely susceptible to noise.

  The full tank detection sensor 279 detects whether or not the accommodation space in the second ball passage of the foul cover unit 270 is full with the stored game balls, and the payout control MPU 952a uses the full tank detection sensor. When it is determined based on the detection signal from 279 that the accommodation space is full of the stored game balls, the drive control of the payout motor 834 is forcibly stopped and the payout of the game balls by the payout rotating body is stopped. Control is performed. In other words, when noise enters the transmission path (transmission line) for transmitting the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279, the payout control MPU 952a determines that the payout motor 834 has a game ball in which the accommodation space is stored but is not full. In some cases, the driving control is forcibly stopped to stop the payout of the game balls by the payout rotating body, or the payout motor 834 is driven even though the accommodation space is full of the stored game balls. When the payout rotator is controlled to rotate the payout rotator to continue paying out the game balls, the payout rotator itself cannot rotate and the payout motor 834 becomes unable to rotate when the game balls are filled up to the upstream side of the prize ball path described above. The dispensing motor 834 is overloaded and abnormally generates heat to cause a failure, or the rotating shaft of the dispensing motor 834 is transmitted to the rotational motion of the dispensing rotator. Sometimes referred to 構等 is or failure. Therefore, in the present embodiment, in order to prevent such a problem from occurring, the detection signal from the full tank detection sensor 279 is firstly subjected to a three-terminal filter PIC50 for a full tank detection sensor so that a noise component is removed. Adopted.

When the 15-round jackpot information output signal or the 2-round jackpot information output signal is output to the hall computer as one jackpot information output signal, the hall computer determines the number of jackpots in two rounds (two round jackpots). The number of big hits of the pachinko machine 1 is the sum of the number of big hits of the pachinko machine 1 and the number of big hits of 15 rounds (the number of big hits of 15 rounds). For this reason, the hall computer cannot determine the number of occurrences of two rounds or the number of occurrences of 15 land jacks from the total number of jackpots, so that the number of jackpots actually generated in the pachinko machine 1 is large. It is not possible to know whether it is a 2 round jackpot or a 15 round jackpot. A data counter (not shown) is disposed above the pachinko machine 1. Some players select whether or not to play a game by referring to the number of occurrences of the big hit game state displayed on the data counter. Some do.

  However, the number of occurrences of the jackpot gaming state displayed on the data counter may actually be skewed toward the number of occurrences of the two round jackpots. 15 rounds big hit may not occur easily. In this way, the number of occurrences of the jackpot gaming state displayed on the data counter can give the player a sense of expectation, but may excite the player more than necessary.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, by outputting the 15-round jackpot information output signal and the 2-round jackpot information output signal separately as the jackpot information output signal to the hall computer, the hall computer can determine the number of occurrences of the 2-round jackpot, The number of occurrences of the 15 round big hits can be accurately grasped. Therefore, the hall computer can determine whether the number of jackpots actually generated in the pachinko machine 1 is two round jackpots or 15 round jackpots, and the data counter shows 15 round jackpots. The number of occurrences of big hits and the number of occurrences of two rounds of big hits can be displayed separately or only the number of occurrences of 15 rounds of big hits can be displayed as the number of occurrences of the big hit game state. Absent.

  In the present embodiment, the two round jackpot information output signal is output to the hall computer in the period from the occurrence of the two round jackpot until the end, and the 15 round jackpot information output signal also has the 15 round jackpot information output signal. It is output to the hall computer during the period from occurrence to termination. In addition to the method of outputting the two round big hit information output signal and the fifteen round big hit information output signal to the hall computer as in the present embodiment, for example, when a two round big hit occurs, the two round big hit information output signal is output only for a predetermined period. Such a two-round jackpot information output signal and a 15-round jackpot information are output to the hall computer, and when a 15-round jackpot occurs, a 15-round jackpot information output signal is output to the hall computer for a predetermined period. A method of outputting the output signal to the hall computer for the same predetermined period can also be mentioned.

  In the present embodiment, the prize ball number information output signal output on the payout control board 951 side and the main prize ball number information output signal output on the main control board 1310 side are transmitted from the external terminal plate 784 to the hole, respectively. It is configured to communicate to a computer. This is because, for example, the game balls stored in the prize ball tank 720 in a state where the game balls from the pachinko island facility side are not supplied to the prize ball tank 720 shown in FIG. When the pachinko machine 1 accidentally hits 15 rounds at the time when the remaining number is low, the number of the game balls stored in the prize ball tank 720 for paying out the game balls as the prize balls is insufficient, so that the payout is performed. (For example, if the ball is clogged or the ball is generated in the payout device 830, the game ball cannot be paid out unless this is resolved). Then, as described above, the number of awarded ball number information output signals output on the payout control board 951 side reaches 10 as the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 834 shown in FIG. 5 as prize balls. Since the game signal cannot be paid out, the payout control board 951 can output the prize ball number information output signal and transmit it to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784. become unable. When the game balls are not paid out, the player calls a clerk in the hall or the like. The clerk at the hall, for example, checks a hose-shaped replenishing nozzle or the like for supplying game balls from the pachinko island equipment to the prize ball tank 720 and specifies the position of the ball clogging (for example, if the ball is caught in the payout device 830). Then, the position of the ball clogging or the position of the ball is identified) and resolved to return to a state in which the game balls are paid out.

  However, even when the clerk of the hall is proceeding with the work, the game by the main control board 1310 is in progress, and after the 15 round big hit, the game ball is paid out by the work of the clerk of the hall. When returning to the state where the payout control board 951 is returned, the payout control board 951 pays out the game balls that have not been paid out one after another. Outputs a prize ball number information output signal indicating that the number of game balls actually paid out by the payout motor 834 as prize balls reaches ten, and transmits the signal to the hall computer via the external terminal board 784. It will be. In this case, an extremely large number of game balls are paid out even during the period in which the 15th round big hit has not occurred. Therefore, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 and the number of game balls paid out by the pachinko machine 1 The problem arises that the relationship cannot be accurately grasped by the hall computer.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, regardless of whether or not the payout motor 834 is driven and controlled by the payout control board 951 to actually pay out as a prize ball, that is, it is different from the prize ball number information output signal output by the payout control board 951. The main control board 1310 receives the game balls entered into various winning ports such as the first starting port 2002, the second starting port 2004, the general winning ports 2001 and 201, and the large winning port 2005 shown in FIG. Each time the number of game balls to be paid out as prize balls on the basis of the number of game balls reaches ten, a main prize ball number information output signal is output as a signal notifying that, and the payout control board 951 and the external terminal board 784 are output. Via a hall computer. As a result, even if the above-mentioned trouble (trouble such as clogged ball in the supply nozzle or the like, clogged ball in the dispensing device 830 or the like) occurs, the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 and the payment in this gaming state The relationship between the number of game balls to be put out and the number of game balls can be accurately transmitted to the hall computer. Therefore, the hall computer can accurately grasp the relationship between the gaming state of the pachinko machine 1 and the number of game balls to be paid out in the gaming state.

The signal is input to the mode choke coil SDL0, and is input to the RXIN + terminal and the RXIN− terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0. The door frame side effect receiver IC SDIC0 determines that the output request of the LOCKN signal is received when two signals that have been differentiated into a plus signal and a minus signal in the differential circuit 1512e are input, A LOCKN signal is output from a LOCKN terminal to be described later to the peripheral control board 1510 via the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868.

Further, +5 V (H) is applied to the selection terminal CONT, and the selection terminal CONT is set to a buffer type. The CMOS IC 4210 has two thresholds for the input signals input to the input terminals A1 to A8. For example, in this example, since the operating voltage is +5 V, the threshold of the high potential is 3.15 V and the threshold of the low potential is Is 1.35V.

  The input terminals A1 to A8 of the CMOS IC 4210 output a logic H (active signal) potential from the output terminals Y1 to Y8 when the potential of the input signal exceeds a high threshold value.

[Harness signal line disconnection and safety circuit 4205]
When the signal line of the harness 5102 relating to the lamp or the motor is broken, no signal is input. In this case, when the potential of the input signal input to the input terminals A1 to A6 of the CMOS IC 4210 is an intermediate potential between the high threshold and the low threshold, the output holds the immediately preceding potential, and thus the output may be undefined. Yes, causing malfunction.

  The safety circuit 4205 previously shown in FIG. 142 is daisy-chained in conjunction with the abnormal state of the harness 5102 or the connector CN2 to which the harness 5102 is connected, so as to make the states of the driver circuits 4220 to 4228 safe. A predetermined safety signal is input to the driver circuit section 4220 of the first stage.

  Specifically, the safety circuit 4205 gives an active signal whose logic is active to the driver circuit unit 4220 when a signal is loaded on the signal line, and applies the active signal to the driver circuit unit 4220 when no signal is loaded on the signal line. , But a signal setting circuit set to give a negative signal.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of a signal setting circuit, a logic H is given to the driver circuit unit 4220 when a signal is placed on a signal line, and a logic L is given to the driver circuit unit 4220 when a signal is not placed on a signal line. It uses a set resistor circuit.

  In the present embodiment, in order to avoid malfunction due to the potential of the input signals input to the input terminals A1 to A6, as one specific example, the above-described resistors DR1, DR2 (FIG. 143) and DR7 to DR10 (FIG. 144) Is set to 4.7 kΩ, and the resistances of the resistors DR3, DR4 (FIG. 143) and DR11 to DR14 (FIG. 144) are set to 1.3 kΩ. That is, the ratio of the resistance value (sometimes referred to as a multiplier) is set so that the input to the driver IC at the subsequent stage becomes a logical L (negative signal).

  Incidentally, when the signal line of the harness 5102 is disconnected, the input voltage of this embodiment is calculated as (1.3 kΩ / 4.7 kΩ + 1.3 kΩ) × 5V = 1.08 V, which is a low potential threshold of the CMOS IC 4210. The potential is lower than 1.35V. Therefore, the output of the CMOS IC 4210 is logic L, and the input logic to the driver IC at the subsequent stage is L (negative signal). Therefore, malfunction can be reduced.

The motor excitation data M TXD is output from the output terminal Y1 of the CMOS IC 4210, the motor clock signal MSCK is output from the output terminal Y2, and the motor latch signal MTTTRG is output from the output terminal Y3.

Motor excitation data M TXD, motor clock signal MSCK and motor latch signal M
The TTRG is input to the driver ICs 4220, 4222, 4224, 4226, 4228 shown in FIGS. 146 to 147 provided one for each of the five motors 4300a to 4300e in FIG. 142 (five in total). Connected. Further, a feedback data latch signal M RTRG is output from the output terminal Y4, and the feedback data latch signal M RTRG is input to the parallel / serial IC 4250 in FIG. 147.

[Circuit operation monitoring function]
If the signal from the peripheral control board 1510 is not normally transmitted to the driver ICs 4220, 4222, 4224, 4226, and 4228 due to the disconnection of the harness 5102 and the damage of the CMOS IC 4210, a problem occurs that the current continues to flow to the drive source. There is a risk of doing so.

  In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 145, a monitoring circuit 4230 for monitoring whether the circuit is operating normally is provided. The monitoring circuit 4230 includes a resistor DR21 (for example, 10 kΩ in this example) to which +5 V is applied to one end, and a capacitor DC7 (in this example, grounded at one end and connected at the other end to the other end of the resistor DR21 in series). , For example, 10 μF) and an IC 4232.

  The IC 4232 is a mono-staple multivibrator having a CMOS inside, and includes a power supply terminal Vcc, a ground terminal GND, an input terminal 1 / A, an input terminal 1B, an input terminal / 1CLR, a potential input terminal 1RX / CX, It has a gate terminal 1CX and an output terminal 1 / Q.

  An operating power supply of +5 V is supplied to a power supply terminal Vcc of the IC 4232, and a ground terminal GND is grounded. +5 V is applied to the input terminal / 1CLR, and the input terminal / 1CLR is held at the H level. The input terminal 1 / A is grounded and maintained at L level. The gate terminal 1CX is grounded, the potential input terminal 1RX / CX is connected to the connection point between the resistor DR21 and the capacitor DC7, and a potential that changes according to the time constant of the RC series circuit is applied to the gate terminal 1CX. .

  The input terminal 1B is connected to the middle of the signal line of the motor clock signal MSCK output from the output terminal Y2 of the CMOS IC 4210, and receives the motor clock signal MSCK (for example, the rising cycle is 986 ns). I have. A signal line from the output terminal 1 / Q is connected to a resistor DR22, one end of which is grounded, and constitutes each of the driver circuit units 4220 to 4228 shown in FIG. 4228 are connected to each nEBL terminal.

  The operation of the monitoring circuit 4230 is such that when the rising edge of the motor clock signal MSCK input to the input terminal 1B of the IC 4232 is input, the IC 4232 is triggered, the discharging of the capacitor DC7 starts, and the potential of the potential input terminal 1RX / CX. However, when the voltage drops to the internal low-level reference voltage, the capacitor DC7 is charged with a time constant determined by the resistor DR21 and the capacitor DC7, and the potential of the potential input terminal 1RX / CX starts to rise.

  On the other hand, the output of the output terminal 1 / Q becomes HI level when a trigger is given. When the potential of the potential input terminal 1RX / CX reaches the internal high-level reference voltage, the output of the output terminal 1 / Q returns to the LOW level.

  On the other hand, if the waveform of the motor clock signal MSCK does not change for a predetermined period of time (for example, 100 ms in this example) due to, for example, disconnection of the harness 5102 or breakage of the CMOS IC 4210, the logic of the input terminal 1B of the IC 4232 changes. The signal remains at L, and no trigger is accepted by the IC 4232. Therefore, the output of the output terminal 1 / Q of the IC 4232 remains at the LOW level. That is, the logic L enable signal MOT ENA (abnormality detection signal) is output, and the abnormality detection signal is input to each of the nEBL terminals of the driver ICs 4220 to 4228. Then, in the driver ICs 4220 to 4228, the gates of the internal drive circuit units are closed, and the drive current (excitation current) flowing to each of the OUT1 to OUT4 terminals is internally cut off.

  Thus, for example, the problem that the current continues to flow in the drive source can be solved. Further, smoke and ignition can be prevented by keeping the current flowing through the drive source.

  In the above-described embodiment, the input terminal 1B is connected to the middle of the signal line of the motor clock signal MSCK output from the output terminal Y2 of the CMOS IC 4210, and receives the motor clock signal MSCK (for example, the rising cycle is 986 ns). However, the motor clock signal MSCK may not be used. Instead, the input terminal 1B is connected to the motor excitation data M TXD (an example of serial drive data) output from the output terminal Y1 of the CMOS IC 4210. ), The motor excitation data M TXD (for example, the data transmission cycle is every 1 ms) may be input.

[Driver IC and parallel / serial IC]
In this example, the driver circuit units 4220 to 4228 shown in FIG. 142 are specifically configured, and as shown in FIGS. 146 to 147, the motors a to e correspond to the motors a to e, respectively. Driver ICs 4220 to 4228 for driving are provided. The driver ICs 4220 to 4228 have the same configuration, and have a shift register function and a drive circuit function. Therefore, here, the drive IC 4220 will be described as a representative example, and the description of the driver ICs 4222 to 4228 will be omitted.

  The drive IC 4220 includes a clock terminal SCLK, an excitation data input terminal SDATIN, a latch terminal LATCH, an enable terminal nEBL, an excitation data output terminal SDATOUT, a reset terminal RESET, a ground terminal GND, a power supply terminal VM, a VCLANP terminal, and excitation coil connection terminals OUT1 and OUT2. , OUT3 and OUT4.

  The motor clock signal MSCK output from the output terminal Y2 of the CMOS IC 4210 is input to the clock terminal SCLK of the drive IC 4220. The serialized motor excitation data M TXD output from the output terminal Y1 of the CMOS IC 4210 is input to the excitation data input terminal SDATIN one bit at a time. The motor latch signal MTTTRG output from the output terminal Y3 of the CMOS IC 4210 is input to the latch terminal LATCH.

  The enable terminal nEBL of the drive IC 4220 is connected to the output terminal 1 / Q of the IC 4232 of the monitor circuit 4230. When the enable signal MOT ENA (abnormality detection signal) is output from the output terminal 1 / Q, each of the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 is output. The signal is input to the nEBL terminal, the gates of the drive circuit units inside the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 are closed, and the excitation current flowing to each of the OUT1 to OUT4 terminals is internally cut off.

  The excitation data output terminal SDATOUT of the drive IC 4220 is connected to the excitation data input terminal SDATIN of the next-stage drive IC 4222, and the serialized motor excitation data M TXD is shifted and output one bit at a time.

  The reset terminal RESET and the ground terminal GND of the drive IC 4220 are grounded, and the power supply terminal VM of the drive IC 4220 is supplied with a motor power of +24 V. The cathode terminal of the Zener diode ZD2 is connected to the VCLANP terminal of the drive IC 4220, and the anode terminal of the Zener diode ZD2 and the + 24V supply line are connected via a fuse FUSE. The power supply + 24V of the motor a (stepping motor 4300a) is supplied from the anode terminal of the Zener diode ZD2.

  The excitation coil connection terminal OUT1 of the drive IC 4220 is connected to the A phase coil of the motor a, the excitation coil connection terminal OUT2 is connected to the B phase coil of the motor b, and the excitation coil connection terminal OUT3 is connected to the / A phase coil of the motor b. The exciting coil connection terminal OUT4 is connected to the / B phase coil of the motor b, and switches the exciting current for each phase (A, B, / A, / B) of the motor a.

  As shown in FIG. 147, the excitation data output terminal SDATOUT of the fifth-stage drive IC 4228 is connected to the input terminal A of the subsequent parallel / serial IC 4250, and the serialized motor excitation data M TXD is transmitted one bit at a time. The output is shifted.

  FIG. 148 (A) is a diagram showing the excitation data of the stepping motors 4300a to 4300e in a table format, and FIG. 148 (B) is a timing chart of the excitation data serially transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the upper decoration drive board 4200. FIG. 148 (C) is a diagram showing, in a table form, the order of the excitation phases of the stepping motors 4300a to 4300e.

  In this example, for one stepping motor 4300, the excitation data is composed of four bits of A phase, B phase, / A phase, and / B phase, and for five stepping motors 4300a to 4300e, the excitation data is 20 bits. Bit. The excitation data is composed of 8 bits D0 to D7, and it is determined whether a serial signal can be normally transmitted to the last 4 bits, that is, H-4 to H-1 of V-3. Determination information is stored. In the case of this example, the excitation data transmitted serially is 24 bits including the determination information.

  The serial data transmission order is (V-3, H-1), (V-3, H-2), (V-3, H-3), (V-3, H-4), (V-3 , H-5),..., (V-1, H-5), (V-1, H-6), (V-1, H-7), (V-1, H-8). Become. As described above, the excitation data is transmitted in the order of / B phase, / A phase, B phase, and A phase in the transmission order of each motor.

  As shown in FIG. 148 (B), the peripheral control board 1510 on the transmitting side transmits 1-bit data when the clock signal SCK4 falls. On the upper decorative drive board 4200 on the receiving side, the clock signal is described as a motor clock signal M-SCK (FIG. 143). One-bit data (M-TXD) is definitely received at the rise of the motor clock signal M-SCK. Then, after the transmission of the final data, after a lapse of a specified time, the determination is made by the latch signal (T-TRG4). On the upper decorative drive board 4200 on the receiving side, the latch signal is described as M-TTRG (FIG. 143).

  The transmission of drive data from the peripheral control board 1510 to the motor drive board (upper decorative drive board 4200) will be described later, but the peripheral control MPU 1511a executes the peripheral data shown in FIG. 152 at predetermined intervals (for example, every 1 ms). This is executed in the motor and solenoid processing of step S1104 in the control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing.

  As shown in FIG. 148 (C), when the stepping motor 4300 is rotated forward, the A and B phases are excited (step 1), and then the A and / B phases are excited (step 2). Next, the phases / A and / B are excited (step 3), the phases B and / A are excited (step 4), and the process returns to step 1 to excite the phases A and B. The cycle is repeated (two-phase excitation).

  When the stepping motor 4300 is rotated in the reverse direction, the step is the reverse of that in the case of the normal rotation, and the B and / A phases are excited (step 4), and then the / A and / B phases are excited (step 3). Next, the A and / B phases are excited (step 2), the A and B phases are excited (step 1), and the process returns to step 4 to excite the B and / A phases. Is repeated (two-phase excitation).

  Returning to FIGS. 146 to 147, the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 and the parallel / serial IC 4250 are connected in a daisy chain connection in which the driver IC 4220 is the first stage and the driver IC 4228 is the last stage, that is, a daisy chain connection. An excitation data output terminal (daisy chain connection terminal) SDATOUT of the driver IC 4228 is connected to an input terminal A of a parallel / serial IC 4250k described later.

  The driver ICs 4220 to 4228 take in the motor excitation data M TXD serially output from the CMOS IC 4210 bit by bit. That is, the motor excitation data M TXD is shifted one bit later when the motor clock signal MSCK falls, and one bit of the motor excitation data M TXD is determined when the motor clock signal MSCK rises.

  In this manner, when the motor clock signal MSCK falls and rises 24 times, as for the excitation data shown in FIG. 148 (A), the serially output motor excitation data M TXD is sequentially shifted by one bit by a daisy chain connection to the subsequent stage. As a result, the excitation data (4 bits) of the A phase, B phase, / A phase, and / B phase of the motor a are determined in parallel in the driver IC 4220.

  In the driver IC 4222, the A-phase, B-phase, / A-phase, and / B-phase excitation data (4 bits) of the motor b are determined in parallel. In the driver IC 4224, the A-phase, B-phase, / A-phase, and / B-phase excitation data (4 bits) of the motor c are determined in parallel. In the driver IC 4226, the A-phase, B-phase, / A-phase, and / B-phase excitation data (4 bits) of the motor d are determined in parallel.

  In the driver IC 4228, excitation data (4 bits) of the A phase, B phase, / A phase, and / B phase of the motor e are determined in parallel. The determination information (1 bit) is input to the input terminal A of the parallel / serial IC 4250 four times and overwritten.

  The determination information is fed back to the peripheral control board 1510 via the parallel / serial IC 4250. Then, as will be described later, the judgment information fed back by the peripheral control board 1510 is judged, and it is checked whether the serial communication is normally performed normally on the serial signal transmission path.

  Then, when the latch signal M TTRG is input from the CMOS IC 4210, that is, when the latch signal M TTRG changes from the LOW level to the HI level, the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 use the parallel determined excitation data as an excitation signal as a built-in not shown. Output to the drive circuit.

  The drive circuit unit switches the exciting current to each phase coil (A phase, B phase, / A phase, / B phase) of the stepping motors 4300a to 4300e shown in FIG. 142 based on the excitation signal. The exciting current flows from the ground terminal GND to the ground through one of the connection terminals OUT1 to OUT4 of the drive IC 4300.

[Reduction of driver IC damage]
By the way, at present, a lot of driving accessories are mounted on the gaming machine, and in the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 connected in a daisy chain, when the driver IC in the upstream is damaged, the driver IC in the subsequent stage is thereafter replaced. There is a problem that it cannot be controlled. If the motor is driven at a temperature higher than the specified temperature, the motor is driven while a phenomenon (short mode) in which the resistance value of the coil of the motor becomes small occurs. For example, when the resistance value of the motor is 50Ω, the resistance drops to about 5Ω in the short mode. Since the power supply voltage (for example, +24 V) applied to the motor does not change, there is a problem that a large current flows due to the reduced resistance.

  If a large current flows into a driver IC connected in a daisy chain and the driver IC is damaged, the driver IC connected to the subsequent stage cannot be controlled, so that other motors other than the motor corresponding to the damaged driver IC cannot be controlled. become. This may cause a reduction in the effect and a secondary failure.

In FIG. 146, a large current flows from the +24 V supply line through the power supply terminal VM and from the VCLMP terminal through the Zener diode ZD. Therefore, five driver ICs 422
Relative 0-4228, by providing the one by one fuse FU S E, when the motor is damaged in short mode, set to the fuse FU S E expires before the driver IC may be damaged by overcurrent I do. As a result, damage to the driver IC can be reduced.

[Parallel / Serial IC]
As shown in FIG. 147, the parallel / serial IC 4250 is configured as a specific example of the driving serial output unit 4250 shown in FIG. 142, and includes a serial input terminal SI, parallel input terminals A to H, a shift / load terminal. S / L, a clock terminal CK, a CKINH terminal, a power supply terminal Vcc, a serial output terminal QH, and a ground terminal GND.

  +5 V is supplied to the power supply terminal Vcc, and the ground terminal GND is grounded. The serial input terminal SI, the parallel input terminal H, and the CKINH terminal are not used and are grounded and fixed at the L level. The motor clock MSCK output from the output terminal Y2 of the CMOS IC 4210 is input to the clock terminal CK. To the shift / load terminal S / L, the feedback data latch signal MRTRG output from the output terminal Y4 of the CMOS IC 4210 is input.

  The parallel input terminal A is connected to the excitation data output terminal (daisy chain connection terminal) SDATOUT of the driver IC 4228 at the fifth stage (final stage). The signals of the origin position detection sensors of the motors a to e and the detection signals of the not-shown claw sensors are input to the parallel input terminals BG. The serial output terminal QH is connected to the input terminal A8 of the CMOS IC 4210 in FIG.

  When the feedback data latch signal MRTG input to the shift / load terminal S / L falls from the HI level to the LOW level, the logic from the parallel input terminal G to the parallel input terminal A is sequentially converted to serial data and output. Output from the terminal QH as serial data SENSER.

  FIG. 149 (A) is a diagram showing a serial data reception order in a table format, and FIG. 149 (B) is a reception timing chart of serial data transmitted from the upper decoration drive board 4200 to the peripheral control board 1510.

When the feedback data latch signal M RTRG falls, the clock signal M
Data M-RXD is read at the rise of SCK, and data M-RXD is shifted by one bit at the fall of clock signal MSCK.

  As shown in FIG. 149 (A), the data M-RXD received by the peripheral control board 1510 includes motor e sensor information (bit 0), claw sensor information (bit 1), and motor d sensor information (bit 2). ), Motor c sensor information (bit 3), motor b sensor information (bit 4), motor a sensor information (bit 5), determination information (bit 6), and invalid data (bit 7). The received information corresponds to information input to the G terminal to the A terminal of the parallel / serial IC 4250.

  Note that the acquisition of information data transmitted from the motor drive board (upper drive board 4200) to the peripheral control board 1510 will be described later, but is performed by the peripheral control MPU 1511a every predetermined cycle (for example, every 1 ms). Is executed in the movable body information acquisition process of step S1106 in the 1ms timer interrupt process of the peripheral control unit.

  The peripheral control board 1510 needs to check whether the serial communication is normally performed normally in the transmission path of the serial signal based on the determination information fed back. Here, if the wiring for transmitting the determination information from the upper decoration drive board 4200 to the peripheral control board 1510 is provided exclusively, there is a problem that the number of wirings increases correspondingly, but as described above, the origin of each motor is increased. Because the detection information is sent together with the judgment information and transmitted as serial data, it is possible to check whether serial communication is normally performed properly on the serial signal transmission path, and without increasing the number of wires. Can be kept to a minimum.

  Although the clock signal used for data reception is described as MSCK, the same clock signal as the clock signal SCK4 (FIG. 148) used for transmitting transmission data to the decorative drive board 4200 owned by itself is used. It is not necessary to have a separate clock signal. The 1-bit determination information is not particularly specified, but may be any one of the HI level and the LOW level, and each time the data M-TXD is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the upper decoration drive board 4200, the HI level and the LOW level are changed. It may be alternated.

[Upper decoration drive board 4200 of the present embodiment]
When the signal line of the harness 5102 relating to the lamp or the motor is broken, no signal is input. In this case, the potentials of the input signals input to the input terminals A1 to A6 of the CMOS IC 4210 are the resistance values of the above-described resistors DR1, DR2 (FIG. 143) and DR7 to DR10 (FIG. 144) and the resistance values of the resistors DR3, DR4 (FIG. 143). ), The ratio between the resistance values of DR11 to DR14 (FIG. 144) is set so that the signals input to the input terminals A1 to A6 of the CMOS IC 4210 become logic L. Therefore, the outputs of the output terminals Y1 to Y6 corresponding to the input terminals A1 to A6 of the CMOS IC 4210 become logic L.

  Therefore, the logic of the signal input to the clock signal input terminal SCLK, the serial excitation data input terminal SDATIN, and the latch terminal LATCH of the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 at the subsequent stage sticks to L. That is, the operations of driver ICs 4220 to 4228 are stopped. Therefore, no exciting current flows through the stepping motors 4300a to 4300e.

  Further, the monitoring circuit 4230 monitors the motor clock signal MSCK output from the output terminal Y2 of the CMOSIC 4210, and the waveform of the motor clock signal MSCK is determined for a predetermined period of time by disconnection or the like (in this example, for example, If there is no change (100 ms), the IC 4232 will not accept a trigger. Therefore, the output of the output terminal 1 / Q remains at the LOW level. That is, the enable signal MOT ENA (abnormality detection signal) is output, and the abnormality detection signal is input to each of the nEBL terminals of the driver ICs 4220 to 4228. Then, in the driver ICs 4220 to 4228, the gates of the internal drive circuit units are closed, and the drive current (excitation current) flowing to each of the OUT1 to OUT4 terminals is internally cut off. Therefore, the exciting current does not always flow through the stepping motors 4300a to 4300e.

Also, for the five driver IC4220～4228, by providing the one by one fuse FU S E, when the motor is damaged in short mode, the fuse FU S E before the driver IC may be damaged by overcurrent Is set to expire. For this reason,
The damage of the driver IC can be reduced.

In FIG. 146, a fuse FUS temporarily provided for driver IC 4220
It is assumed that the fuse FUSE is blown by heat due to a large current flowing through E. Driver IC 42
Since 20 is set so that the fuse FU S E before damaged by overcurrent expires, driver IC4220 is operable normally spared damage.

  On the other hand, the fact that the fuse FUSE is blown means that the stepping motor a driven by the driver IC 4220 has failed. That is, the coil of the stepping motor a cannot be energized, and the power is cut off, so that the motor a does not operate. However, since the protected driver IC 4220 operates normally, it does not hinder the operation of the subsequent drive ICs 4222 to 4228 connected in a daisy chain.

Thus, in this embodiment, for the five driver IC4220～4228, by providing the one by one fuse FU S E, when the motor is damaged in short mode,
Even if one motor fails and becomes inoperable, five driver ICs 4220 to 422
8 can operate normally. Therefore, other motors can operate normally.

  The determination information is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the upper decoration drive board 4200, and the upper decoration drive board 4200 combines the determination information with the origin detection information of each motor and feeds it back as serial data. It is possible to check whether serial communication is normally performed normally on the serial signal transmission path on the board 1510 and to minimize the number of wires without increasing the number of wires.

When the signal line of the feedback data latch signal M-RTRG of the harness 5102 is broken, the feedback data latch signal MRRTRG which remains unchanged at the logic L is input to the shift / load terminal S / L of the parallel / serial IC 4250. You. In this case, the feedback data latch signal M
Since RTRG does not become HI level, the parallel / serial IC 4250 does not perform a shift operation and does not transmit serial data. Since the determination information is not fed back as serial data to the peripheral control board 1510, the peripheral control board 1510 can determine that the serial communication is abnormal in the transmission path of the serial signal. In this case, as an abnormality notification, for example, in the door frame top unit 570 shown in FIG. 1, each LED is turned on in a predetermined manner (for example, for 60 seconds), and a sound (for example, “A transmission line has an abnormality. .)).

  In this embodiment, a motor clock signal M-SCK is transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the upper decoration drive board 4200, and the upper decoration drive board 4200 takes in serial drive data using the motor clock signal M-SCK. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and a clock signal generation unit such as a clock circuit is separately provided on the upper decoration driving board 4200 to generate a clock signal, and the peripheral control board 1510 does not transmit the clock signal to the upper decoration driving board 4200. The transmission and reception of the serial data may be performed by the respective clock signals.

  In addition, the wiring patterns of the output terminals of the driver ICs 4220 to 4228 have a pattern width of, for example, 1.3 mm for the OUT1 to OUT4 terminals and a wiring pattern for the VM terminal and the VCLANP terminal in order to enhance the heat radiation effect. The width of the wiring pattern to the fuse FUSE connecting between them is, for example, 2.5 mm. In this way, the width of the wiring pattern between the power supply and the fuse FUSE is made larger than the width of the wiring pattern for the output terminal. Thereby, the heat radiation effect can be improved.

[Various control processing of peripheral control board]
Next, various processes of the peripheral control board 1510 for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 (main control MPU 1310a) shown in FIG. 123 will be described with reference to FIGS. 150 to 154. FIG. 150 is a flowchart showing an example of the peripheral control section power-on processing, FIG. 151 is a flowchart showing an example of the peripheral control section V blank interrupt processing, and FIG. 152 is an example of the peripheral control section 1 ms timer interrupt processing. FIG. 153 is a flowchart illustrating an example of peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and FIG. 154 is a flowchart illustrating an example of peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing.

  As shown in FIG. 126, the peripheral control board 1510 includes a peripheral control unit 1511 and a liquid crystal display control unit 1512. Here, various control processes of the peripheral control unit 1511 will be described. First, the peripheral control unit power-on process will be described, followed by the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt process, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process, and the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt process. . In this embodiment, as the priority of the interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing is set highest, followed by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing, and the peripheral control unit. They are set in the order of V blank interrupt processing.

[Various control processes of peripheral control unit]
[Processing when the peripheral control unit is turned on]
First, the peripheral control unit power-on processing will be described with reference to FIG. When the power of the pachinko machine 1 is turned on, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 performs the peripheral control unit power-on processing as shown in FIG. When the peripheral control unit power-on process is started, the effect control program performs an initial setting process under the control of the peripheral control MPU 1511a (step S1000). In the initial setting process, the effect control program performs a process of initializing the peripheral control MPU 1511a itself, a process of determining hot start / cold start, a process of setting a wait timer after reset, and the like. The peripheral control MPU 1511a first performs a process of initializing itself. The time required for the process of initializing the peripheral control MPU 1511a is on the order of microseconds (μs), and the peripheral control MPU 1511a is initialized in a very short time. be able to. This causes the peripheral control MPU 1511a to enter a state in which interrupt permission is set, for example, in a peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process described later, a command related to control of a game effect output from the main control board 1310 or a pachinko machine. In this state, various commands such as the command related to the state 1 can be received.

  In the hot start / cold start determination process, for the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127, the effect backup information (1fr), which is the content backed up in Bank1 (1fr) and Bank2 (1fr) in the backup first area 1511cb. ) And the effect backup information (1 ms), which is the content backed up in Bank 1 (1 ms) and Bank 2 (1 ms), and Bank 3 (1 fr) and Bank 4 (1 fr) in the backup second area 1511 cc. The effect backup information (1fr), which is the content backed up in the bank, is compared, and the effect backup information, which is the content backed up in Bank3 (1 ms) and Bank4 (1 ms). 1 ms), and when the compared contents match, the contents stored in Bank 1 (1 fr) with respect to Bank 0 (1 fr), which are the normally used storage areas of the peripheral control RAM 1511 c shown in FIG. While the effect backup information (1fr) and the effect backup information (1 ms), which is the content stored in Bank1 (1 ms) for Bank0 (1 ms), are copied back to a hot start, and compared. When the contents do not match (that is, when they do not match), the value 0 is forcibly written to Bank0 (1fr) and Bank0 (1 ms), which are the storage areas normally used in the peripheral control RAM 1511c. To start cold.

  In the hot start / cold start determination process, the effect backup information, which is the content backed up in Bank1 (SRAM) and Bank2 (SRAM) in the backup first area 1511db also in the peripheral control SRAM 1511d shown in FIG. (SRAM) and effect backup information (SRAM) in the backup second area 1511dc, which is the content backed up in Bank3 (SRAM) and Bank4 (SRAM).

  When the compared contents match, the effect backup information (SRAM), which is the contents stored in Bank0 (SRAM), for Bank0 (SRAM), which is a storage area normally used in the peripheral control SRAM 1511d shown in FIG. ) Is copied back to a hot start, and when the compared contents do not match (that is, when they do not match), a value is stored in Bank 0 (SRAM) which is a storage area normally used in the peripheral control SRAM 1511d. A cold start is performed by forcibly writing 0. Following such a hot start or a cold start, the value 0 is forcibly written to the backup unmanaged work area 1511cf of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. After performing the initialization setting process, the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af shown in FIG. 127 and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e shown in FIG. 126, and resets the peripheral control MPU 1511a. So that they do n’t

  Subsequent to step S1000, the effect control program performs a current time information acquisition process (step S1002). In this current time information acquisition processing, calendar information for specifying the date and time information for specifying the hour, minute, and second are obtained from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC 41654a of the RTC control unit 4165 shown in FIG. In the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in (1), the current calendar information is set in the calendar information storage unit, and the current time information is set in the time information storage unit.

  Further, in the current time information acquisition process, a brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device is also performed. In the luminance setting process of the liquid crystal display device, the peripheral control MPU 1511a acquires the luminance setting information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165, and sets the luminance of the LED included in the acquired luminance setting information to the game board. A process of adjusting the brightness of the backlight of the side effect display device 1600 and lighting the backlight is performed. As described above, the brightness setting information includes brightness adjustment information for adjusting the range of the brightness of the LED, which is the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600, from 100% to 70% in increments of 5%. The set brightness of the LED as the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is included.

  In the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device, specifically, the brightness of the LED included in the brightness setting information stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165 is 75%, and the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is set. Is turned on by adjusting the brightness of the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 based on the brightness adjustment information included in the brightness setting information, and the brightness stored in the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC control unit 4165. When the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is turned on with the luminance of the LED included in the setting information being 80%, the backlight of the game board effect display device 1600 is determined based on the brightness adjustment information included in the brightness setting information. Adjust the brightness and turn on. In the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device, the same correction as the above-described brightness correction program for correcting the brightness of the game board effect display device 1600 according to the use time of the game board effect display device 1600 is performed. It is not done at all. This is because the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device incorporates a correction program similar to the brightness correction program, so that each time the brightness setting process of the liquid crystal display device is executed, the brightness of the LED is corrected toward 100%. This is to prevent that.

  In this embodiment, the peripheral control MPU 1511a acquires the calendar information and the time information from the RTC built-in RAM 4165aa of the RTC 4165a only once when the power is turned on. After performing the current time information acquisition processing, the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e so that the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset.

  Subsequent to step S1002, the effect control program sets a value 0 to a V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG (step S1006). This V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute a later-described peripheral control unit steady-state process. Is not set, the value is set to 0. The V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a peripheral control, which will be described later, which is executed when a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from the peripheral control MPU 1511a can be accepted is input from the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source. The value 1 is set in the section V blank signal interrupt processing. In step S1006, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is initialized by setting the value 0 to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. After setting the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG to a value of 0, the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e so that the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset. I have.

  Subsequent to step S1006, the effect control program determines whether or not the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has a value of 1 (step S1008). When the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is not the value 1 (the value is 0), the flow returns to step S1008 again to repeatedly determine whether the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is the value 1.

  By repeating such a determination, the state becomes a standby state until the peripheral control unit regular processing is executed. After determining whether or not this V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1, the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e to reset the peripheral control MPU 1511a. So that they do n’t

  When the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has the value 1 in step S1008, that is, when executing the peripheral control unit steady processing, the value 1 is first set to the steady processing flag SP-FLG (step S1009). The steady processing flag SP-FLG is set to a value 1 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed, and to a value 0 when the peripheral control unit steady processing is completed.

  Subsequent to step S1009, the effect control program performs a 1 ms interrupt timer activation process (step S1010). In the 1 ms interrupt timer activation process, a 1 ms interrupt timer for executing a peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is activated, and the number of times that the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated and the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed. The value 1 is set to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN for counting the number of times, and the 1 ms timer interrupt execution number STN is also initialized. The 1ms timer interrupt execution count STN is updated by the 1ms timer interrupt processing of the peripheral control unit.

  Following step S1010, the effect control program performs a lamp data output process (step S1012). In this lamp data output process, the effect control program performs the DMA serial continuous transmission to the lamp drive board 4170 shown in FIG. Here, the serial I / O port for the lamp drive board is continuously transmitted using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. When the serial transmission of the lamp drive board serial I / O port is started, the transmission data storage area 1511caa of the lamp drive board side of the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached to the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. The game board side emission data SL-DAT for outputting a lighting signal, a blinking signal, or a gradation lighting signal to a plurality of LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 is created by a lamp data creation process described later. It is in the state of being set.

  The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. 127 designates transmission of the lamp driving board serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and stores the data in the lamp driving board side transmission data storage area 1511caa. The first one byte of the game board side emission data SL-DAT stored at the head address is transferred to the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai. Transfer to and write to the transmission buffer register. As a result, the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and synchronizes with the game board side light-emitting clock signal SL-CLK by 1 byte of the transmission shift register. The transmission of the data is started one bit at a time.

  The peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac triggers the transmission interrupt request of the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board (in the present embodiment, in the transmission buffer register of the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board) every time a transmission interrupt request for the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board is generated. The written 1-byte data is transferred to the transmission shift register, and the 1-byte data is lost in the transmission buffer register and the transmission buffer register becomes empty.) The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa uses the bus. When there is no such data, the remaining game board-side emission data SL-DAT stored in the lamp drive board-side transmission data storage area 1511caa is transferred one byte at a time via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai. Transmission of serial I / O port for lamp drive board By transferring and writing to the buffer register, the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register and synchronizes with the game board side light-emitting clock signal SL-CLK. Transmission of one byte of data of the transmission shift register is started one bit at a time, and continuous transmission is performed by the serial I / O port for the lamp driving board.

  In the lamp data output process, the effect control program performs a DMA serial continuous transmission process to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 shown in FIG. Also in this case, the serial I / O port for frame decoration drive amplifier board LED is continuously transmitted using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511a. When the serial transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial I / O port is started, the frame decoration drive amplifier board side LED transmission data storage area of the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached to the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. In 1511cab, door-side emission data STL-DAT for outputting a lighting signal, a blinking signal, or a gradation lighting signal to a plurality of LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 is created by a lamp data creation process described later. It is in the state set.

  The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a specifies the transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED transmission data storage area for the LED. The first byte of the door-side emission data STL-DAT stored at the head address of the 1511cab is transferred to the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai. The data is transferred and written to the transmission buffer register of the I / O port. As a result, the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial I / O port transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and synchronizes with the door side emission clock signal STL-CLK. Transmission of one byte of data is started one bit at a time.

  Whenever a transmission interrupt request for the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial I / O port is generated, the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac triggers this (in this embodiment, the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED serial I / O The one-byte data written to the transmission buffer register of the port is transferred to the transmission shift register, and the one-byte data is lost in the transmission buffer register and the buffer becomes empty.), And the peripheral control CPU core 1511aa. Is not using a bus, the remaining door-side emission data STL-DAT stored in the frame decoration drive amplifier board-side LED transmission data storage area 1511cab is stored in the external bus 1511h and the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad by one byte at a time. , And frame decoration via the peripheral bus 1511ai By transferring and writing to the transmission buffer register of the serial I / O port for the dynamic amplifier board LED, the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register. Transfer, start transmission of 1-byte data of the transmission shift register one bit at a time in synchronization with the door side emission clock signal STL-CLK, and perform continuous transmission by the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board LED. I have.

  Subsequent to step S1012, the effect control program performs an effect operation unit monitoring process (step S1014). In the effect operation unit monitoring process, in the effect operation unit information acquisition process in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process described later, the operation of the operation button 410 and the like based on the detection signals from the various detection switches provided in the effect operation unit 400 Based on the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511kai of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127 in which various information obtained by setting the operation button 410 are monitored, the presence or absence of the operation of the operation button 410 is monitored, and the state of the operation of the operation button 410 is determined. It is determined as appropriate whether or not to reflect this.

  Subsequent to step S1014, the effect control program performs a display data output process (step S1016). In this display data output processing, the drawing data for one screen (one frame) generated on the built-in VRAM of the built-in sound source VDP 1512a by the display data creation processing described later is transmitted from the channels CH1 and CH2 shown in FIG. It outputs to the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. Thereby, various screens are drawn on the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. In the display data output process, when rendering exceeding the rendering capability of the sound source built-in VDP 1512a is performed, the generated rendering data for one screen (one frame) is displayed on the gaming board side display device 1600 and the door frame side production. The output to the display device 460 is canceled.

  This makes it possible to prevent a delay in the processing time, but a so-called dropping of frames occurs. However, the lamp data output processing in step S1012 causes the various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 shown in FIG. The effects by the plurality of LEDs and the plurality of LEDs of the various decorative boards provided on the door frame 3 and the sound data output processing described later are used to produce various effects from the speaker 921 shown in FIG. 5 and the upper speaker 573 shown in FIG. It is a mechanism that can prioritize the synchronization with the production by the combined music and sound effects.

  Subsequent to step S1016, the effect control program performs sound data output processing (step S1018). In this sound data output processing, the effect control program outputs serialized audio data such as music and sound effects set in the sound source built-in VDP 1512a in the sound data creation processing described later to the audio data transmission IC 1512c, The sound data of the notification sound and the notification sound in addition to the music and sound effects are output as serialized audio data to the audio data transmission IC 1512c. When serialized audio data is input from the built-in sound source VDP 1512a, the audio data transmission IC 1512c sends the right audio data to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 as differential serial data in which a positive signal and a negative signal are used. At the same time, the left audio data is transmitted to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 as differential serial data of a plus signal and a minus signal. As a result, music and sound effects matched to various effects are reproduced from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 in stereo, and the notification sound and the notification sound are also reproduced in stereo.

  Subsequent to step S1018, the effect control program performs a scheduler update process (step S1020). In this scheduler update process, the effect control program updates various schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. For example, in the scheduler update process, of the screen data arranged in time series constituting the screen generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae, what number of screen data from the first screen data is transferred to the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. Update the pointer to indicate whether to output.

  In the scheduler update process, among the luminescence data arranged in time series that constitute the luminescence mode generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae, the number of luminescence data starting from the first luminescence data is changed to the luminescence of various LEDs. The pointer is updated to indicate whether to use the mode.

  In the scheduler updating process, the sound data such as music and sound effects, the sound data of the notification sound and the notification sound, which are arranged in time series and constitute the sound generation schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae, are specified. The pointer is updated to indicate the order of the sound command data from the first sound command data to be output to the sound source built-in VDP 1512a.

  In the scheduler update process, among the drive data of the electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in time series that constitute the electric drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae, the first drive data The pointer is updated to indicate which drive data is to be output.

  The driving data of the electric driving sources, such as motors and solenoids, arranged in a time series and constituting the electric driving source schedule data, is described later. It is updated by the motor and solenoid drive processing in the processing. In the motor and solenoid drive processing that is repeatedly executed each time the 1 ms timer interrupt occurs, the motor and the solenoid are driven in accordance with the drive data indicated by the pointer, and the next drive specified in time series is performed. The pointer is updated to the data, and the pointer is updated each time its own process is executed.

  In other words, since the drive data indicated by the pointer updated in the motor and solenoid drive processing is forcibly updated in the scheduler update processing, it is assumed that the pointer is temporarily instructed for some reason in the motor and solenoid drive processing. Even if other drive data is instructed from the drive data that should be performed, the update is forcibly updated in the scheduler update process so as to instruct the drive data that should originally be instructed.

  Subsequent to step S1020, the effect control program performs a received command analysis process (step S1022). In the received command analysis processing, the effect control program is configured to transmit information transmitted from the effect display drive board 4450 via the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868 and various information transmitted from the main control substrate 1310. The command is analyzed for various commands received in a peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process (command reception means) described later (command analysis means).

  The effect control program is based on information transmitted from the effect display drive board 4450 via the peripheral door relay terminal plate 882 and the frame peripheral relay terminal plate 868, the screen generation schedule data, the light emission mode generation schedule data, and the sound. The generation schedule data, the electric drive source schedule data, and the like are extracted from the various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b or the peripheral control RAM 1511c of the peripheral control unit 1511, and set in the schedule data storage area of the peripheral control RAM 1511c in 1511cae. I do.

  In the effect control program, the command from the main control board 1310 received in the peripheral control unit command interrupt processing includes, for example, a start-up winning command for instructing the start of a start-up winning effect, and the number of ordinary symbols held. A normal symbol storage command for determining (0 to 4), a symbol synchronization effect start command for instructing the start of the symbol synchronization effect, a symbol memory command output when the number of start-retention changes, and a special winning opening 2005 A special winning opening 1 count display command (a special winning opening count command) output each time a game ball is accepted, or a frame state 1 command indicating a full state shown in FIG. 144 (a second error occurrence command, It is analyzed whether the command is a full tank error occurrence command) (command analysis means) and it is recognized which game state is currently in play.

  Further, after a predetermined time has elapsed since the power was turned on, the effect control program determines whether the command received by the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is a body frame opening command, a body frame closing command, a door frame opening command or a door frame opening command. Analyze whether it is a close command. Various commands from the main control board 1310 are received by the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing and stored in the reception command storage area 1511cac of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127. The effect control program analyzes various commands stored in the received command storage area 1511cac.

  Various commands are classified into various commands related to Toku-zu 1 entrained production, various commands classified into Toku-zu 2 synchronized production, various commands classified into jackpot-related, various commands classified into power-on, and various commands. Various commands classified in the synchronizing production-related, various commands classified in the normal electric role production-related, various commands classified in the notification display, the above-mentioned door frame opening command, door frame closing command, body frame opening command and body Various commands classified into status displays such as a frame closing command, an error clearing navigation command (corresponding to a second error clearing command), and a frame status 1 command (corresponding to a second error generating command), and a test-related command. There are various commands and various other commands.

  Following step S1022, the effect control program performs a warning process (step S1024). In this warning process, the effect control program further executes various abnormality notifications when the commands analyzed in the received command analysis process of step S1022 include various commands classified into notification display as described above. The screen data generation schedule data, the light emission mode generation schedule data, the sound generation schedule data, the electric drive source schedule data, etc., which are set in the abnormal display mode, are stored in the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the peripheral control ROM 1511b. It is extracted from the various control data copy area 1511ce of the control RAM 1511c and set to 1511cae in the schedule data storage area of the peripheral control RAM 1511c. In the warning process, when a plurality of abnormalities occur at the same time, the abnormality notification is performed in order from the highest priority registered in advance, and the abnormality is automatically changed to another abnormal notification after the abnormality is resolved. It is supposed to. This allows multiple abnormalities to be monitored at the same time without losing the information that another abnormality has occurred and one abnormality has occurred after the occurrence of one abnormality and before resolving the abnormality. Can be.

  Further, in this warning process, after a predetermined time has elapsed from the time of turning on the power, the command analyzed by the effect control program in the above-described received command analysis process (step S1022) is classified into various commands classified into status display, for example, In the case of the error release navigation command (second error release command), by controlling the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 in a mode different from the normal performance mode associated with the performance operation, for example, the game board side performance display device 1600 ( Effect device), a door frame side effect display device 460 (effect device), and a lamp (effect device) to visually warn the outside or a speaker to warn the outside audibly (error notifying means). In this way, when a malicious player tries to input an error canceling navigation command to the main control board 1310 by operating the operation switch 954 of the payout control board 951 even in the gaming state. In addition, since the pachinko machine 1 is configured to issue a warning to the outside, fraud on the main control board 1310 that may affect the progress of the game is suppressed.

  Next, following step S1024, the effect control program performs an RCT acquisition information update process (step S1026). In this RTC acquisition information updating process, the effect control program stores the current time information acquisition process in step S1002 in the calendar information storage unit that is set in the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127. The updated calendar information and the time information stored in the time information storage unit are updated. By this RCT acquisition information updating process, the hour, minute, and second, which are the time information stored in the time information storage unit, are updated, and the year and month, which are the calendar information stored in the calendar information storage unit, based on the updated time information. The date is updated.

  Subsequent to step S1026, the effect control program performs a lamp data creation process (step S1028). In this lamp data creation processing, the effect control program updates the pointer in the scheduler update processing in step S1020, and the pointer is designated by the pointer in the time-series light-emitting data that constitutes the light-emitting mode generation schedule data. On the basis of the emission data, the game board side emission data SL- for outputting a lighting signal, a blinking signal, or a gradation lighting signal to a plurality of LEDs of various decorative boards provided on the game board 5 shown in FIG. The DAT is created by extracting it from the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral controller 1511 or the various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control RAM 1511c, and is set in the lamp drive board side transmission data storage area 1511caa of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. And various devices provided on the door frame 3. The door-side emission data STL-DAT for outputting a lighting signal, a blinking signal, or a gradation lighting signal to a plurality of LEDs on the substrate is stored in various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b or the peripheral control RAM 1511c of the peripheral control unit 1511. , And is set in the frame decoration drive amplifier board side LED transmission data storage area 1511cab of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127.

  Subsequent to step S1028, the effect control program performs a display data creation process (step S1030). In this display data creation processing, the effect control program updates the pointer in the scheduler update processing in step S1020, and displays the screen data indicated by the pointer among the screen data arranged in chronological order constituting the screen generation schedule data. From the various control data copy area 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the peripheral control RAM 1511c, and outputs the extracted data to the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. When screen data is input from the peripheral control MPU 1511a, the sound source built-in VDP 1512a extracts character data from the liquid crystal and sound control ROM 1512b based on the input screen data, creates sprite data, and creates a game board effect display device. Drawing data for one screen (one frame) to be displayed on the 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is generated in the built-in VRAM.

  Subsequent to step S1030, the effect control program performs sound data creation processing (step S1032). In this sound data creation processing, the effect control program updates the pointer in the scheduler update processing in step S1020, and the pointer points out of the sound command data arranged in time series constituting the sound generation schedule data. The sound command data is extracted from the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control RAM 1511c, and is output to the sound source built-in VDP 1512a. When the sound command data is input from the peripheral control MPU 1511a, the sound source built-in VDP 1512a extracts sound data such as music and sound effects stored in the liquid crystal and the sound control ROM 1512b and controls the built-in sound source to thereby control the sound command. Sound data such as music and sound effects are incorporated according to the track number specified in the data, and the output channel to be used is set according to the output channel number.

  In the sound data creation process, the peripheral control A / D converter 1511ak shown in FIG. 127 is activated every time the sound data creation process is performed (that is, each time the peripheral control unit regular process is performed), and the volume adjustment volume is adjusted. The voltage divided by the resistance value at the rotation position of the knob 1510a is converted into 1024 levels from 0 to 1023. In this embodiment, the value of 1024 steps is divided into seven and managed as substrate volumes 0 to 6, the volume is set to mute for substrate volume 0, and set to the maximum volume for substrate volume 6, and Each volume is set so that the volume increases toward the volume 6. The sound source built-in VDP 1512a of the liquid crystal display control unit 1512 is controlled so that the volume is set to the substrate volumes 0 to 6, and audio data is transmitted as audio data obtained by serializing the sound data in the sound data output process of step S1018 described above. By outputting to the IC 1512c, music and sound effects flow from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573.

  In addition, the notification sound and the notification sound flow without depending on the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob part, and the volume from the mute to the maximum volume is programmed by the sound source of the liquid crystal display control unit 1512. The VDP 1512a can be controlled and adjusted. The volume adjusted by this program is different from the above-described seven-stage board volume, and can smoothly change from mute to the maximum volume. For example, even when a store clerk of a hall or the like turns the knob of the volume control volume 1510a to set the volume low, the effect sound such as music and sound effects flowing from the speaker 921 and the upper speaker 573 decreases. However, when a malfunction has occurred in the pachinko machine 1 or when the player is performing wrongdoing, the notification sound set to a high volume (in the present embodiment, the maximum volume) can be played. Therefore, even if the sound volume of the production sound is reduced, it is possible to prevent the clerk in the hall from becoming difficult to notice a malfunction or a fraudulent act of the player due to the notification sound. Also, based on the current board volume set by the volume adjustment based on the turning operation of the knob, the volume of the advertising sound is reduced so as not to disturb the music and sound effects, while In addition to music and sound effects by increasing the volume at which the sound is played, the screen developed by the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is directed as a more powerful one, and is advantageous for the player. It is also possible to notify that there is a high possibility of transition to the gaming state.

  Subsequent to step S1032, the effect control program performs a backup process (step S1034). In this backup processing, the effect control program stores the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127 in the backup first area 1511cb and the backup second area 1511cc. In addition to copying and backing up, the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control SRAM 1511d are copied and backed up in the backup first area 1511db and the backup second area 1511dc, respectively.

  More specifically, in the backup process, the peripheral control RAM 1511c is set to be backed up for each frame (1 frame) in the backup target work area 1511ca shown in FIG. Included in Bank0 (1fr), the lamp drive board side transmission data storage area 1511caa, the frame decoration drive amplifier board side LED transmission data storage area 1511cab, the reception command storage area 1511cac, the RTC information acquisition storage area 1511cad, and The effect information (1fr), which is the content stored in the schedule data storage area 1511cae, is used as effect backup information (1fr), and Bank1 (1fr) and Bank2 (1) in the backup first area 1511cb. Peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac to r) is copied at high speed, and backup Bank3 second area 1511cc (1fr) and peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac to Bank4 (1FR) is copied at high speed.

  The high-speed copy of the contents stored in Bank0 (1fr) by the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. The contents stored in Bank0 (1fr) are designated to be copied to Bank1 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb, and the contents stored in the start address of Bank0 (1fr) are changed to the end address of Bank0 (1fr). All the contents up to the stored contents are successively copied by a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) sequentially from the head address of Bank1 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa is peripheral-controlled. The content stored in Bank0 (1fr) is designated as a request factor of the MA controller 1511ac to copy to the Bank2 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb, and the content stored at the head address of Bank0 (1fr) is changed to Bank0 (1fr). The contents stored at the end address of (1fr) are all copied sequentially from the head address of Bank2 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb in succession by a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte).

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa designates, as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, a copy of the contents stored in Bank0 (1fr) to Bank3 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc, and Bank0 (1fr). ) From the content stored at the start address to the content stored at the end address of Bank0 (1fr), and the start address of Bank3 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc in a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) continuously. , And the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa designates the contents stored in the Bank0 (1fr) as the request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac and the copy to the backup second area 1511cc in the Bank4 (1fr). I From the contents stored at the start address of Bank0 (1fr) to the contents stored at the end address of Bank0 (1fr), Bank4 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc is continuously provided for each predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte). All are copied in order from the start address of.

  In the backup process, the peripheral control SRAM 1511d is subject to backup every frame (1 frame) in the backup target work area 1511da shown in FIG. 127, that is, every time the peripheral control unit regular process is executed. The effect information (SRAM), which is the content stored in Bank0 (SRAM), is used as effect backup information (SRAM), and the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac is transferred to Bank1 (SRAM) and Bank2 (SRAM) in the backup first area 1511db at high speed. Then, the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac copies at high speed to Bank3 (SRAM) and Bank4 (SRAM) in the backup second area 1511dc.

  The high-speed copying of the content stored in the Bank 0 (SRAM) by the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. The contents stored in Bank0 (SRAM) are designated to be copied to Bank1 (SRAM) of the backup first area 1511db, and the contents stored in the start address of Bank0 (SRAM) are changed to the end address of Bank0 (SRAM). All the contents up to the stored contents are successively copied by a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) sequentially from the head address of the Bank1 (SRAM) in the backup first area 1511db, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511a Specifies the copy of the contents stored in Bank0 (SRAM) to the backup first area 1511db to Bank2 (SRAM) as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and stores the contents at the start address of Bank0 (SRAM). From the contents to the contents stored at the end address of Bank 0 (SRAM), all are copied in order from the head address of Bank 2 (SRAM) of the backup first area 1511 db in predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte) continuously.

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa designates copying of the content stored in the Bank0 (SRAM) to the Bank2 (SRAM) of the backup second area 1511dc as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and the Bank0 (SRAM). ) From the contents stored at the start address to the contents stored at the end address of Bank0 (SRAM), and the start address of Bank3 (SRAM) of the backup second area 1511dc in a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) continuously. And the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa transfers the contents stored in the Bank 0 (SRAM) to the bank 4 (SRAM) of the backup second area 1511dc as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac. And the content stored at the start address of Bank0 (SRAM) to the content stored at the end address of Bank0 (SRAM) are continuously backed up by a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) in the backup second area 1511dc. Are copied in order from the top address of Bank 4 (SRAM).

  Subsequent to step S1034, a WDT clear process is performed (step S1036). In the WDT clear processing, a clear signal is output to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e so that the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset.

  Subsequent to step S1036, the effect control program sets the value 0 in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as completion of execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing (step S1038), returns to step S1006 again, and returns the V blank signal detection flag VB. -FLG is initialized by setting the value to 0, and the determination in step S1008 is repeated until the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing described later. That is, in step S1008, the process waits until the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG. The process of S1038 is performed, and the process returns to step S1006 again. As described above, when it is determined in step S1008 that the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG has the value 1, the processing in steps S1009 to S1038 is performed. The processing in steps S1009 to S1038 is referred to as “peripheral control unit regular processing”.

  This peripheral control unit steady processing starts when the effect control program first sets the value 1 to the steady processing flag SP-FLG assuming that the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed in step S1009, and then sets 1 ms in step S1010. .., And step S1036. Finally, in step S1038, a value of 0 is set in the steady processing flag SP-FLG as completion of execution of the peripheral control unit steady processing. To complete. The peripheral control unit steady processing is executed when the value of the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is 1 in step S1008. As described above, this V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is executed when a V blank signal indicating that the screen data from peripheral control MPU 1511a can be accepted is input from VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source. The value 1 is set in a later-described peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt process. In the present embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps per second as described above. The interval at which the blank signal is input is about 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed about every 33.3 ms.

[Peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing]
Next, a V blank signal indicating that the screen data can be accepted from the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 has been input from the VDP 1512a with a built-in sound source of the liquid crystal display control unit 1512. The peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing executed at the moment will be described.

  When the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 determines whether the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0 as shown in FIG. S1045). As described above, this flag SP-FLG is set to 1 when the peripheral control unit steady-state processing of steps S1009 to S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. The value is set to 0 when the processing is completed.

  If it is determined in step S1045 that the steady processing flag SP-FLG is not the value 0 (it is the value 1), that is, if the peripheral control unit steady processing is being executed, the routine ends. On the other hand, when the steady processing flag SP-FLG has the value 0 in step S1045, that is, when the peripheral control unit steady processing has been completed, the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG (step S1050). This routine ends. As described above, the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG is a flag for determining whether or not to execute the peripheral control unit steady processing. The value is set to 0 when the partial steady state processing is not executed.

  In the present embodiment, it is determined whether or not the steady processing flag SP-FLG has a value of 0 in step S1045, that is, whether or not the peripheral control unit regular processing has been completed, and the execution of the peripheral control unit regular processing has been completed. Sometimes, the value 1 is set to the V blank signal detection flag VB-FLG in step S1050. This is because the V blank signal is input and the V blank When the value 1 is set to the signal detection flag VB-FLG, it is determined that the peripheral control unit regular processing is executed by the determination in step S1008 in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. Since the peripheral control unit routine is forcibly canceled halfway and the peripheral control unit regular processing is started from the beginning, the peripheral control unit power supply shown in FIG. In step S1009 of the time process (peripheral control unit steady process), the value of the steady process flag SP-FLG is set to 1 to indicate that the peripheral control unit steady process is being executed. In step S1038 in the peripheral control unit power-on process (peripheral control unit regular process) in FIG. 150, the peripheral control unit regular process is executed by setting the value of the flag SP-FLG to 0 in step S1038. By notifying the completion to the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing of this routine, the routine processing flag SP-FLG is set to the value 0 in the determination of step S1045 in the peripheral control unit V blank signal interrupt processing of this routine. That is, it is determined whether or not the execution of the peripheral control unit regular processing has been completed. . In other words, this is a measure to be taken when the peripheral control unit cannot perform the normal processing until the V blank signal is input and then the next V blank signal is input.

  As a result, in the current peripheral control unit regular processing, if the processing cannot be completed in about 33.3 ms and the processing is dropped, the next time in the peripheral control unit power-on processing in FIG. In a standby state until the V blank signal is input. In other words, the time required to execute the peripheral control unit steady-state processing of this time when the processing has failed is about 66.6 ms. Normally, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, which will be described later, is repeatedly executed each time the 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by the activation of the 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit power-on process (peripheral control unit steady process) in FIG. Is executed only 32 times for one peripheral control unit steady-state process. However, if the current peripheral control unit steady-state process which has failed as described above exists, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is performed 64 times. Instead, it is executed only 32 times. In other words, even when the peripheral control unit steady processing has failed, the consistency between the state of progress of the effect by the peripheral control unit steady processing and the state of progress of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, which is timer interrupt control, is not guaranteed. It does not collapse. Therefore, even if the peripheral control unit steady processing is not performed, the progress state of the effect can be surely matched.

[Peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process which is repeatedly executed each time the 1 ms interrupt timer is generated by the activation of the 1 ms interrupt timer in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit normal process of the peripheral control unit power-on process of FIG. 150 will be described. .

  When the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511 a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 determines whether the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is less than 33 as shown in FIG. Is determined (step S1100). As described above, this 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is determined by the 1 ms interrupt timer being activated in the 1 ms interrupt timer activation process of step S1010 in the peripheral control unit regular process of the peripheral control unit power-on process in FIG. This is a counter that counts the number of times a certain peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed.

  In the present embodiment, as described above, the frame frequency (the number of screen updates per second) of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is set to approximately 30 fps per second as described above. The interval at which the blank signal is input is about 33.3 ms (= 1000 ms ÷ 30 fps). That is, since the peripheral control unit steady processing is repeatedly executed about every 33.3 ms, the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, and then the next peripheral control unit steady processing is performed. Is executed, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is executed only 32 times. Specifically, when the 1 ms interrupt timer is started in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady processing, the first 1 ms timer interrupt occurs first, and the second,..., And 32 th 1 ms timer interrupts are sequentially performed. Will occur.

  If the 1-ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than 33 in step S1100, that is, if the 33-time 1-ms timer interrupt has occurred and the peripheral control unit 1-ms timer interrupt process has been started, this routine is immediately terminated. If the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next V blank signal, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process is set to the peripheral control unit V Although set higher than the blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled.

  In other words, in this embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next V blank signal, In order to execute the peripheral control unit V blank interrupt process, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. Then, after the 1 ms interrupt timer is restarted in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit regular processing due to the generation of the V blank signal, the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing due to the first occurrence of the 1 ms timer interrupt is started. ing.

  On the other hand, if the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is smaller than 33 in step S1100, the value 1 is added to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN (increment, step S1102). By adding a value of 1 to the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN, the 1 ms interrupt timer is activated in the 1 ms interrupt timer activation process of step S1010 in the peripheral control unit normal process of the peripheral control unit power-on process of FIG. 166. The number of times that the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing of this routine is executed is increased by one.

  Subsequent to step S1102, a motor and solenoid driving process is performed (step S1104). In this motor and solenoid drive process, the electric drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127 are arranged in chronological order. 126. According to the drive data indicated by the pointer among the drive data of the electric drive sources such as the motor and the solenoid, the electric drive sources such as the motor and the solenoid of the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 and the motor drive board 4180 shown in FIG. At the same time, the pointer is updated to the next drive data specified in time series, and the pointer is updated each time the motor and solenoid drive processing is executed.

  Specifically, in the motor and solenoid drive processing, DMA serial continuous transmission processing to the frame decoration drive amplifier board 194 is performed. Here, the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor is continuously transmitted using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. When serial transmission of serial I / O ports for frame decoration drive amplifier board motors is started, first, the electric drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control RAM 1511c is read. For outputting a drive signal to the dial drive motor 414 of the staging operation unit 400 based on drive data indicated by a pointer among drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in a time series to constitute. The motor drive data STM-DAT is extracted from the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral controller 1511 or the various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control RAM 1511c, and the frame decoration drive of the peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. A Set in the transmission data storage area 1511caf for flops substrate side motor.

  The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a designates transmission of the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and transmits the frame decoration drive amplifier board side motor transmission data. The first byte of the door-side motor drive data STM-DAT stored at the start address of the storage area 1511caf is transferred to the frame decoration drive amplifier board via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai. The data is transferred and written to the transmission buffer register of the serial I / O port for motor. As a result, the frame decoration driving amplifier board motor serial I / O port transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and synchronizes with the door side motor driving clock signal STM-CLK to transmit the transmission shift register. The transmission of 1-byte data is started bit by bit.

  The peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, whenever a transmission interrupt request of the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor serial I / O port occurs, triggers it (in the present embodiment, the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor serial I / O The 1-byte data written to the transmission buffer register of the port is transferred to the transmission shift register, and the 1-byte data is lost in the transmission buffer register and the transmission buffer register becomes empty.), The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa Is not using the bus, the remaining door-side motor drive data STM-DAT stored in the frame decoration drive amplifier board-side motor transmission data storage area 1511caf is stored in the external bus 1511h and the peripheral control bus controller in units of 1 byte. 1511ad, and via the peripheral bus 1511ai, By transferring the data to the transmission buffer register of the decoration drive amplifier board motor serial I / O port and writing the data, the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor serial I / O port transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register. To start transmission of 1-byte data of the transmission shift register one bit at a time in synchronization with the door-side motor drive clock signal STM-CLK, and continuously transmit the serial I / O port for the frame decoration drive amplifier board motor. Is going.

  In the motor and solenoid drive processing, DMA serial continuous transmission processing to the motor drive board 4180 (including the above-described upper decoration drive board 4200) is performed. Here, the serial I / O port for the motor drive board is continuously transmitted using the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. When the serial transmission of the motor drive board serial I / O port is started, first, the electric drive source schedule data set in the schedule data storage area 1511cae of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control RAM 1511c is constructed. Motors for moving various movable bodies provided on the game board 5 shown in FIG. 8 based on drive data indicated by a pointer among drive data of electric drive sources such as motors and solenoids arranged in a series. And the game board side motor drive data SM-DAT (including TXD4 in FIG. 148) for outputting drive signals to the solenoids are copied to various control data copy areas 1511ce of the peripheral control ROM 1511b of the peripheral control unit 1511 or the peripheral control RAM 1511c. Extract from and create Set to the motor drive board side transmission data storage area 1511cag near control RAM1511c shown in 27.

  Then, the peripheral control CPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a specifies transmission of the motor drive board serial I / O port as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and sets the start address of the motor drive board side transmission data storage area 1511cag. The first one byte of the stored game board side motor drive data SM-DAT is transmitted to the motor drive board serial I / O port via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai. Transfer and write to buffer register. As a result, the serial I / O port for the motor driving board transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and outputs the game board side motor driving clock signal SM-CLK (described as clock signal SCK4 in FIG. 148). ), Transmission of one byte of data of the transmission shift register is started bit by bit.

  Each time a transmission interrupt request of the motor drive board serial I / O port is generated, the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac triggers the transmission interrupt request (in the present embodiment, the transmission buffer register of the motor drive board serial I / O port is transmitted to the transmission buffer register of the motor drive board serial I / O port). The written 1-byte data is transferred to the transmission shift register, and the 1-byte data is lost in the transmission buffer register and the transmission buffer register becomes empty.) The peripheral control CPU core 1511aa uses the bus. If not, the remaining game board-side motor drive data SM-DAT stored in the motor drive board-side transmission data storage area 1511cag is transferred by one byte at a time via the external bus 1511h, the peripheral control bus controller 1511ad, and the peripheral bus 1511ai. , Serial I / O port for motor drive board By transferring and writing to the transmission buffer register, the motor drive board serial I / O port transfers the written data of the transmission buffer register to the transmission shift register, and the game board motor driving clock signal SM-CLK ( In FIG. 148, transmission of one byte of data of the transmission shift register is started bit by bit in synchronization with the clock signal SCK4), and continuous transmission is performed by the serial I / O port for the motor drive board.

  Subsequent to step S1104, a movable body information acquisition process is performed (step S1106). In this movable body information acquisition processing, it is determined whether or not detection signals from various detection switches provided on the game board 5 have been input, so that the history information of the detection signals from the various detection switches (for example, as shown in FIG. 143). M-RXD, that is, original position history information, movable position history information, determination information, and the like of the motor), and obtains the movable body information of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally attached shown in FIG. It is set in the storage area 1511cah. From the history information of the detection signals from the various detection switches set in the movable body information acquisition storage area 1511cah, it is possible to acquire the original position, movable position, determination information, and the like of the various movable bodies provided on the game board 5.

  Subsequent to step S1106, effect operation unit information acquisition processing is performed (step S1108). In this effect operation unit information acquisition process, it is determined whether or not the detection signals from the various detection switches provided in the effect operation unit 400 are input, so that the history information of the detection signals from the various detection switches (for example, operation The operation history information of the button 410, etc.) is created and set in the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511kai of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. The presence or absence of the operation of the operation button 410 can be acquired from the history information of the detection signals from the various detection switches set in the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511kai.

  Subsequent to step S1108, a drawing state information acquisition process is performed (step S1110). In this drawing state information acquisition processing, the history information of the LOCKN signal output from the LOCKN terminal of the door frame side effect receiver ICSDIC0 provided in the effect display drive board 4450 shown in FIG. 141 is created, and the peripheral information shown in FIG. It is set in the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511cak of the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally connected to the control MPU 1511a. As described above, the LOCKN signal indicates that the drawing data received by the door frame side effect transmitter IC SDIC0 included in the effect display drive board 4450 from the door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d included in the peripheral control board 1510 is abnormal data. If it is determined, it is a signal output to convey that effect, specifically, a door frame side effect transmitter IC 1512d provided on the peripheral control board 1510, and a door frame side effect receiver IC SDIC0 provided on the effect display drive board 4450. , Ie, a signal output to request transmission of a predetermined data pattern (SYNC pattern) for confirming (recovering) the connection between the transmitter and the receiver. From the history information of the LOCKN signal set in the drawing state information acquisition storage area 1511cak, the frequency of a defect and the state of occurrence of the defect between the connection between the peripheral control board 1510 and the effect display drive board 4450 are acquired, and the door frame side effect display device is obtained. A drawing state 460 can be obtained.

  Subsequent to step S1110, backup processing is performed (step S1112), and this routine ends. In this backup processing, the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control RAM 1511c shown in FIG. 127 are copied to the backup first area 1511cb and the backup second area 1511cc, respectively. At the same time, the contents stored in the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the externally attached peripheral control SRAM 1511d are copied and backed up in the backup first area 1511db and the backup second area 1511dc, respectively.

  Specifically, in the backup processing, the peripheral control RAM 1511c executes the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt processing, which is the present routine, every time the 1 ms interrupt timer is generated in the backup target work area 1511ca shown in FIG. Each time it is performed, the frame decoration drive amplifier board side motor transmission data storage area 1511caf, the motor drive board side transmission data storage area 1511cag, and the movable body information acquisition storage area 1511cah included in Bank0 (1 ms) to be backed up And the effect information (1 ms), which is the content stored in the effect operation unit information acquisition storage area 1511cai, as the effect backup information (1 ms), Bank1 (1 ms) and Bank of the backup first area 1511cb. Peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac in (1 ms) is copied at high speed, and backup Bank3 second area 1511cc (1ms) and Bank4 (1 ms) to the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac copies at high speed.

  The high-speed copying of the contents stored in Bank0 (1 ms) by the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. The contents stored in Bank0 (1 ms) are designated to be copied to Bank1 (1 ms) of the backup first area 1511 cb, and the contents stored in the start address of Bank0 (1 ms) are changed to the end address of Bank0 (1 ms). All the contents up to the stored contents are successively copied by a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) sequentially from the head address of Bank1 (1 ms) of the backup first area 1511cb, and the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa is peripheral-controlled. The content stored in Bank0 (1 ms) is designated as a request factor of the MA controller 1511ac to copy to the backup first area 1511cb to Bank2 (1ms), and the content stored at the head address of Bank0 (1ms) is designated as Bank0 (1ms). The contents stored at the end address of (1 ms) are all copied in order from the start address of Bank 2 (1 ms) of the backup first area 1511cb in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte).

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa designates copying of the contents stored in Bank0 (1 ms) to the bank 3 (1ms) of the backup second area 1511cc as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and Bank0 (1ms). ) From the content stored at the start address to the content stored at the end address of Bank0 (1 ms), and the start address of Bank3 (1 ms) of the backup second area 1511 cc continuously by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte). And the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa designates the contents stored in Bank0 (1ms) as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac, and copies the contents of the backup second area 1511cc to Bank4 (1ms). I From the content stored at the start address of Bank0 (1 ms) to the content stored at the end address of Bank0 (1 ms), Bank4 (1 ms) of the backup second area 1511 cc is continuously provided for each predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte). All are copied in order from the start address of.

  As described above, in the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process, the various processes related to the effects in steps S1104 to S1108 described above are executed as the progress of the effect within the period of 1 ms. On the other hand, in the peripheral control unit steady-state process in the peripheral control unit power-on process of FIG. 166, the various processes related to the effects of steps S1012 to S1032 described above are executed as the progress of the effect within a period of about 33.3 ms. are doing. In the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, when the 1 ms timer interrupt execution count STN is not smaller than the value 33 in step S1100, that is, when the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt occurs and the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing is started. Since this routine is terminated as it is, even if the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next V blank signal, the peripheral control unit by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt will After the start of the 1 ms timer interrupt process is forcibly canceled, the 1 ms interrupt timer is started again in step S1010 in the peripheral control unit steady process due to the generation of the V blank signal, and then the peripheral control by the generation of the first 1 ms timer interrupt is performed. 1ms timer division It is adapted to start the actual processing. In other words, the consistency between the state of progress of the effect by the peripheral control unit regular processing and the state of progress of the effect by the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt processing, which is timer interrupt control, is not lost. Therefore, it is possible to reliably match the progress state of the effect.

  Further, as described above, the interval at which the V blank signal is output slightly changes depending on the liquid crystal sizes of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460. Even in the manufacturing lot of the mounted peripheral control board 1510, the interval at which the V blank signal is output may change slightly. In this embodiment, since the V blank signal is a signal that controls the entire system of the peripheral control board 1510, if the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt happens to precede the next V blank signal, the peripheral control In order to execute the section V blank interrupt processing, the start of the peripheral control section 1 ms timer interrupt processing by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. That is, in the present embodiment, even when the interval at which the V blank signal is output slightly changes, the start of the peripheral control unit 1 ms timer interrupt process by the 33rd 1 ms timer interrupt is forcibly canceled. It is possible to absorb a time lag due to a slight change in the interval at which the V blank signal is output.

[Peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing]
Next, peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing for receiving various commands from the main control board 1310 will be described. When various commands from the main control board 1310 are started to be transmitted as serial data, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 triggers the main control to incorporate the main peripheral serial data into the peripheral control MPU 1511a. One byte (8 bits) of information is fetched into the reception buffer by the board serial I / O port, and when this fetching is completed, an interrupt is generated with this as a trigger, and peripheral command reception interrupt processing is performed. In the main serial data, one packet is composed of 3 bytes, the status is allocated as the first byte, the mode is allocated as the second byte, and the status and mode are regarded as numerical values as the third byte, and the total is obtained. Is calculated.

  When the peripheral control unit command reception interrupt process is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 determines whether or not the one-byte reception period timer has timed out, as shown in FIG. 153 (step S1200). The one-byte reception period timer sets a period during which one-byte (8-bit) information can be received in the main serial data transmitted from the main control board 1310.

  If the 1-byte reception period timer has not timed out in step S1200, that is, if the 1-byte (8-bit) information of the main serial data transmitted from main control board 1310 can be received, the peripheral The 1-byte information received from the reception buffer of the serial I / O port for the main control board incorporated in the control MPU 1511a is fetched (step S1202), and the value 1 is added to the reception counter SRXC (increment, step S1204). This reception counter SRXC is a counter indicating the number of times that the status has been extracted from the reception buffer. When the value is taken out from the reception buffer, the value becomes 2, and when the sum value which is the third byte of the main serial data is taken out from the reception buffer, the value becomes 3. The reception counter SRXC is set to an initial value 0 when the power is turned on.

  Subsequent to step S1204, it is determined whether or not the reception counter SRXC has the value 3, that is, whether or not the sum value, which is the third byte of the main serial data, has been extracted from the reception buffer (step S1206). In this determination, following the status which is the first byte of the main serial data, the mode which is the second byte of the main serial data, and the sum value which is the third byte of the main serial data are sequentially transmitted from the reception buffer. It is determined whether or not it has been removed.

  In step S1206, when the reception counter SRXC does not have the value 3, ie, following the status which is the first byte of the main serial data, the mode which is still the second byte of the main serial data, and the third byte of the main serial data If the sum value is not taken out from the reception buffer in order, the 1-byte reception period timer is set (step S1208), and this routine ends. By setting the 1-byte reception period timer in step S1208, the mode in which the mode of the second byte of the main serial data or the sum value of the third byte of the main serial data can be received is set.

  On the other hand, when the value of the reception counter SRXC is 3 in step S1206, that is, following the status which is the first byte of the main serial data, the mode which is the second byte of the main serial data, and 3 When the sum value, which is the byte, is sequentially extracted from the reception buffer, the initial value 0 is set in the reception counter SRXC (step S1210), and the sum value is calculated (step S1212). This calculation is performed by regarding the status, which is the first byte of the main serial data, and the mode, which is the second byte of the main serial data, already taken out of the reception buffer in step S1202 as numerical values and summing them (sum value). ) Is calculated.

  Subsequent to step S1212, it is determined whether or not the sum value of the third byte of the main serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 matches the sum value calculated in step S1212 (step S1212). S1214). The sum value which is the third byte of the main serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 is the sum value assigned as the third byte of the main serial data among the main serial data from the main control board 1310. Therefore, it should match the sum value calculated in step S1212. However, the pachinko machine 1 is supplied with game balls from the pachinko island equipment, and when the game balls rub against each other and are charged, electrostatic discharge occurs to generate noise. Under file environment. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the peripheral control unit 1511 considers the status allocated as the first byte of the received main serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main serial data as numerical values. Then, the sum (sum value) is calculated and whether the calculated sum value matches the sum value allocated as the third byte of the main serial data among the main serial data from the main control board 1310 is determined. Has been determined. Accordingly, the peripheral control MPU 1511a determines whether or not the main circumference serial data has changed to non-regular main circumference serial data under the influence of noise between the main control board 1310 and the peripheral control board 1510. be able to.

  In step S1214, when the sum value of the third byte of the main serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 matches the sum value calculated in step S1212, the received main serial data is received. The status allocated as the first byte and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main serial data correspond to the received command storage area 1511cac of the peripheral control MPU 1511a and the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally shown in FIG. (Step S1216), and this routine ends. The reception command storage area 1511cac is used as a ring buffer, and the status allocated as the first byte of the main serial data and the mode allocated as the second byte of the main serial data are defined by the reception command storage area. 1511 cac is stored in the peripheral control unit reception ring buffer. This "peripheral control unit reception ring buffer" is a buffer that is used so that the end and the beginning of the buffer are connected, stores data sequentially from the beginning of the buffer, and returns to the beginning when it reaches the end of the buffer. Remember. Note that the peripheral control MPU 1511a allocates the status allocated as the first byte of the main serial data and the second byte of the main serial data when storing it in the peripheral control unit reception ring buffer in step S1216. The stored value is associated with the stored mode, and the sum value allocated as the third byte is discarded.

  On the other hand, when the one-byte reception period timer has not timed out in step S1200, that is, the period exceeds the period in which one-byte (8-bit) information of main serial data transmitted from main control board 1310 can be received. In some cases, or when it is determined in step S1214 that the sum value of the third byte of the main serial data already extracted from the reception buffer in step S1202 does not match the sum value calculated in step S1212, this routine is directly executed. finish.

[Peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing]
Next, the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal executed when the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) from the power failure monitoring circuit 1310e of the main control board 1310 shown in FIG. The interrupt processing will be described. When the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing is started, the peripheral control MPU 1511a of the peripheral control unit 1511 shown in FIG. 126 first activates a 2-microsecond timer (step S1320) and outputs a power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice). Signal) is input (step S1302). If the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) has not been input in this determination, this routine ends as it is.

  On the other hand, when the power failure notice signal is input in step S1302, it is determined whether 2 microseconds have elapsed (step S1304). In this determination, it is determined whether the timer started in step S1320 has elapsed 2 microseconds. If two macroseconds have not elapsed in step S1304, the flow returns to step S1302 to determine whether or not the power failure notice signal has been input. If the signal is being input, it is determined again in step S1304 whether 2 microseconds have elapsed. That is, in the determination of step S1304, it is determined whether or not the power failure notice signal has been input for two microseconds after the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing of this routine is started.

  If the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing, which is the present routine, is started in step S1304 and the power failure notice signal continues to be input for 2 microseconds, power saving processing is performed (step S1306). In this power saving process, the backlight of the game board side effect display device 1600 and the door frame side effect display device 460 is turned off, the excitation of the motor and the solenoid provided on the game board 5 is turned off, and various LEDs are turned off. As a result, the power consumption of the entire system of the pachinko machine 1 is suppressed, so that even when the power of the pachinko machine 1 is cut off, a stable operation is ensured only for a period of 20 milliseconds, which is a period during which the peripheral control MPU 1511a can operate.

  Subsequent to step S1306, command reception standby processing is performed (step S1308). In this command reception standby process, assuming that there are various commands being transmitted by the main control board 1310, the peripheral control MPU 1511a can receive the transmitted command at least for a period of at least 17 milliseconds. It is designed to wait. When the command is received, the above-described peripheral control unit command reception interrupt processing is started, and the reception command storage area 1511cac (peripheral control unit reception ring buffer) of the peripheral control RAM 1511c externally connected to the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. ) Stores the received command.

  Subsequent to step S1308, backup processing of the command is performed (step S1310). In the backup processing of this command, the contents stored in the received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) in the backup target work area 1511ca shown in FIG. 127 are copied to Bank1 (1fr) and Bank1 (1fr) in the backup first area 1511cb. The peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac copies at high speed to Bank2 (1fr), and the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac copies at high speed to Bank3 (1fr) and Bank4 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc.

  The high-speed copying of the contents stored in the received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank 0 (1fr) by the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac will be briefly described. The peripheral control MPU core 1511aa of the peripheral control MPU 1511a shown in FIG. As a request factor of the control DMA controller 1511ac, the content stored in the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) is specified to be copied to the reception command storage area included in Bank1 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb. Then, the content stored at the start address of the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) is changed to the end address of the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr). All the contents up to the stored contents are successively copied by a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) in order from the start address of the reception command storage area included in the Bank1 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb, and the peripheral control MPU. The core 1511aa transfers the contents stored in the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) to the reception command storage area included in Bank2 (1fr) of the backup first area 1511cb as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac. Of the received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) to the content stored in the end address of the received command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr). A predetermined number of bytes (e.g., 1 byte) all copies sequentially from the start address of the received command storage area included in the Bank2 (1FR) of the backup successively by the first area 1511Cb.

  Subsequently, the peripheral control MPU core 1511aa includes the contents stored in the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) in Bank3 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac. Is specified in the received command storage area 1511cac included in the Bank0 (1fr), and stored in the end address of the received command storage area 1511cac included in the Bank0 (1fr). All the contents up to this point are copied in order from the start address of the received command storage area included in Bank3 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc in succession by predetermined bytes (for example, 1 byte), and peripheral control is performed. The PU core 1511aa stores the content stored in the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) as a request factor of the peripheral control DMA controller 1511ac in the reception command storage area included in Bank4 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511cc. To the content stored in the start address of the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr) to the content stored in the end address of the reception command storage area 1511cac included in Bank0 (1fr). Then, all of the received command storage areas included in Bank 4 (1fr) of the backup second area 1511 cc are successively copied in a predetermined byte (for example, 1 byte) sequence.

  Subsequent to step S1310, it is determined whether a power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) is input (step S1312). If a power failure notice signal is input in this determination, a WDT clear process is performed (step S1314). In this WDT clear processing, the peripheral control MPU 1511a outputs a clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af shown in FIG. 127 and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e shown in FIG. 126 so that the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset. .

  On the other hand, when the power failure notice signal is not input in step S1312, or after step S1314, the process returns to step S1312 again to determine whether the power failure notice signal is input. That is, it is determined infinitely whether or not the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) is input. By continuing the determination indefinitely as described above, when the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) is not input in step S1312, the peripheral control MPU 1511a sends the clear signal to the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e. Cannot be output, and the peripheral control MPU 1511a is reset. On the other hand, when the power failure notice signal is input in step S1312, the WDT clear processing is performed in step S1314, and the peripheral control MPU 1511a is not reset. When the peripheral control MPU 1511a is reset, the peripheral control unit power-on processing shown in FIG. 150 is started again.

  As described above, when the input of the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) is continued in the infinite loop in the determination in step S1312, the peripheral control is performed immediately before the power failure occurs due to the execution of the WDT clear processing in step S1314. The MPU 1511a is not reset. On the other hand, if the input of the power failure notice signal is not continued in the infinite loop and is canceled in the determination in step S1312, the WDT clear processing is not performed, so that the peripheral control built-in WDT 1511af and the peripheral control external WDT 1511e are The output of the clear signal is interrupted. Thus, even if the peripheral control unit power failure notice signal interrupt processing, which is the present routine, is erroneously started due to noise or the like, and the noise occurs beyond the period of 2 microseconds and the determination in step S1302 is passed, If it is determined in step S1312 that the input of the power failure notice signal (peripheral power failure notice signal) is canceled without being continued in the infinite loop, the peripheral control MPU 1511a is reset because the WDT clear processing in step S1314 is not executed. Therefore, it is possible to cope with such noise by automatically returning from reset.

[Judgment of judgment information]
Next, the determination of the determination information executed by the peripheral control MPU 1511a (see FIG. 127, hereinafter, simply referred to as the peripheral control MPU) will be described. As described above, the acquisition of information data transmitted from the motor drive board (upper decoration drive board 4200) to the peripheral control board 1510 is performed by the peripheral control MPU 1511a at a predetermined cycle (for example, every 1 ms). This is executed in the movable body information acquisition process of step S1106 in the peripheral control unit 1ms timer interrupt process 152.

  In the present embodiment, the determination information fed back by the peripheral control MPU of the peripheral control board 1510 is determined, and it is checked whether serial communication is normally performed normally in the serial signal transmission path.

  As described above, detection signals RO-SEN to ME-SEN (see FIG. 147) from various detection switches (for example, photo sensors and the like) for detecting the original position, the movable position, and the like of the various movable bodies provided on the game board 5. ), Determination information [see FIG. 148 (A)] included in the motor excitation data M-TXD serially transmitted from the peripheral control board 1510 to the upper decoration drive board 4200, and input to the A terminal of the parallel / serial IC 4250. (See FIG. 147) means that the data is serialized by the parallel / serial IC 4250 provided on the upper decoration drive board 4200 and output as serial data SENSER (see FIG. 147).

  The serial data SEN SER is input to the CMOSIC 4210, output from the CMOSIC 4210 as motor determination information data M-RXD (see FIG. 145), and transmitted to the peripheral control board 1510 via the connector CN2, the harness 5102, and the connector CN1. (See FIGS. 143 and 142).

  This serialized motor determination information data M-RXD is sent to one of various peripheral control serial I / O ports 1511ae (see FIG. 127) inside the peripheral control MPU via a peripheral control input circuit (not shown). It is input to a certain motor drive board serial I / O port. The peripheral control MPU exchanges various data between the peripheral control board 1510 and the upper decoration drive board 4200 by switching input / output of the serial I / O port for the motor drive board. When acquiring the motor determination information data M-RXD, the peripheral control MPU switches the serial I / O port for the motor drive board to input.

[Judgment information judgment processing]
FIG. 155 is a flowchart illustrating an example of the determination information determination process executed by the peripheral control MPU as one of the movable body information acquisition processes (see FIG. 152) in step S1106. The determination information determination process is performed in accordance with the reception timing chart of serial data transmitted from upper decoration drive substrate 4200 to peripheral control substrate 1510 shown in FIG. 149 (B).

  Upon starting the determination information determination process, the peripheral control MPU first outputs a latch signal RTRG (described as M-RTRG in FIG. 143) (step A200). The latch signal RTRG is output from the peripheral control various parallel I / O ports 1511ag (see FIG. 127). The latch signal RTRG is input to the shift / load terminal S / L of the parallel / serial IC 4250 as the feedback data latch signal M RTRG on the upper decoration drive board 4200, and the parallel / serial IC 4250 receives the feedback data latch signal M RTRG. When the signal falls from the HI level to the LOW level, the serial data SENSER is output. When the serial data SENSER is input, the CMOS IC 4210 outputs this as serial motor determination information data M-RXD.

  The contents of the motor determination information data M-RXD are as shown in FIGS. 149 (A) and (B) described above. After outputting the latch signal RTRG, the peripheral control MPU acquires the motor determination information data M-RXD one bit at a time in a reception register (register built in the peripheral control MPU) (step A202). Note that the determination information data M-RXD is obtained at the timing of the rising edge of the clock signal MSCK. Further, the contents of the motor determination information data M-RXD are obtained in bits 0 to 6 of the reception register.

  Next, the peripheral control MPU determines whether or not the determination information is OK (Step A204). As shown in FIG. 149, the determination information is acquired in bit 6 of the reception register. When the determination information is transmitted as an HI level signal (transmitted in the motor and solenoid driving process in step S1104 of FIG. 152), if the value of bit 6 of the reception register is “1”, it is determined that the reception is OK. If the value of the bit 6 is “0”, it is not OK, that is, it is determined that it is NG.

  The determination as to whether the determination information in step A204 is OK may be made as follows. That is, if the value of the bit 6 is "1" a plurality of times continuously, it is determined that it is OK. You may.

  The determination information determination process is executed by the peripheral control MPU every 1 ms (1 ms timer interrupt process). In step S1104 in the preceding stage, the determination information is transmitted every 1 ms. From this, for example, if the value of bit 6 of the reception register is “1” three times in succession, it is determined to be OK, while if the value of bit 6 of the reception register is “0” three times in succession, NG is determined. The determination may be made.

  If it is determined in step A204 that the determination information is OK, the process proceeds to step A206, where “0 (normal)” is set in the abnormality notification flag (step A206). It returns to the acquisition processing routine. In this case, the detection information of the origin detection sensors for detecting the origin positions of the motors a to e sent together with the determination information as serial transmission data (determination information data M-RXD) has high reliability. Also.

  On the other hand, if it is determined in step A204 that the determination information is NG, the process proceeds to step A208, where the abnormality notification flag is set to “1 (abnormal)” (step A208), and the process exits the determination information determination process and moves. It returns to the body information acquisition processing routine. In this case, the detection information of the origin detection sensors for detecting the origin positions of the motors a to e sent together with the determination information as serial transmission data (determination information data M-RXD) has low reliability. Also.

  If it is determined to be NG, a failure of the CMOS IC 4210, a disconnection of a communication line (harness 5102) for transmitting a signal between the peripheral control board 1510 and the upper decoration drive board 4200, and transfer data on the communication line due to the influence of noise. It is undeniable that there is a possibility that the data of (identification information) is garbled, the communication line connector CN1 or CN2 is coming off (halfway), or the driver ICs 4220-4228 are broken. Therefore, the abnormality is notified.

  When “1 (abnormal)” is set in the abnormality notification flag, it is determined that “1 (abnormal)” is set in the abnormality notification flag in the lamp data creation processing in step S1028 in FIG. The LED lighting data for lighting each LED (see FIGS. 88 to 90) in a predetermined manner (for example, 60 seconds) in the door frame top unit 570 of FIG. 1 and FIG. 87 is created.

  Also, in the sound data creation processing in step S1032 in FIG. 150, it is also determined that “1 (abnormal)” is set in the abnormality notification flag, and a sound (for example, “transmission line”) is transmitted from the upper speaker 573 (see FIG. 88). Is abnormal. ") Sound data is created for notification.

  The LED lighting data created in this manner is output to various decorative boards on the door frame 3 side in the lamp data output processing in step S1012 in FIG. Lights in a predetermined manner (for example, for 60 seconds).
