The suspended special figure game is executed when a start condition for starting the special figure game is satisfied (other special figure games are not executed, and the jackpot is not in a gaming state, etc.).

  When the game ball enters the first starting winning opening when the first special figure reserved memory number has reached the upper limit value, the first special figure reserved memory number does not increase and the entry is invalidated ( There may be prize balls). When the game ball enters the second starting winning opening while the second special figure reservation storage number has reached the upper limit value, the entry is invalidated without increasing the second special figure reservation storage number ( There may be prize balls).

  The entry (winning) of the game ball, which increases the number of the first special figure reserved memories, into the first starting winning opening is also called the first starting winning. The entry (winning) of the game ball, which increases the number of the second special figure reserved memories, into the second starting winning opening is also called the second starting winning. These prizes are collectively referred to simply as the starting prize.

  The variable display results stopped and displayed in the special figure game include a big hit symbol (for example, a special symbol such as “3” and “7”) and a lost symbol (for example, a special symbol such as “−”). .. When the big hit symbol is stopped (derived), the variable display result is "big hit". When the lost symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), the variable display result is "missed".

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

  In the big hit game state, the special winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened. The open state is until the earlier timing of the elapse timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) and the timing until the number of game balls entering the special winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9). Will continue. Such an open state is called a round game (also simply called "round"). In the big hit game state, the round game is repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, “15 times”) is reached (the special winning opening is closed during the period other than the round game).

  In "big hit", big hit types such as "non-probable change" and "probable change" are set. When the jackpot type is "non-probable change", the jackpot symbol "3" is stopped and displayed. When the jackpot type is “probability change”, the jackpot pattern “7” is stopped and displayed.

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

  After the probability variation big hit game state is finished, the probability that the variable display result is "big hit" (the jackpot probability) is controlled to be the probability variation state which is higher than the normal state. The probability variation state continues until the next big hit game state is started.

  After the probability variation big hit game state or the non-probability variation big hit game state is finished, the average variable display time (variable display period) is controlled to a time saving state which is shorter than the normal state. In the time saving state, one of the ending conditions is satisfied first, when the special figure game is executed a predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) and the next big hit game state is started. Continue until you do.

  In the time saving state, the normal variable winning ball device 6B is in the open state and the closed state in an advantageous change mode in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second starting winning port than in the non-time saving state such as the normal state which is not in the time saving state. You may change to and. For example, control to make the fluctuation time of the normal symbols in the general-purpose game (the period for variable display of the general-purpose figure, also called general-purpose figure fluctuation time) shorter than in the normal state, or variable display in each general-purpose game The normal variable winning a prize ball device 6B may be changed to the open state and the closed state in an advantageous change mode by a control or the like that improves the probability that the result will be “universal figure hit” compared to the normal state. Such control is called high opening control (also referred to as "time saving control" or "high base control"). By controlling to such a time saving state, the time required until the variable display result becomes "big hit" next is shortened, and the game state becomes more advantageous to the player than the normal state.

  The normal state is a gaming state other than an advantageous state such as a big hit game state, a time saving state, a probability variation state, etc., which is advantageous for the player. The probability of being a “hit” and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game is a “big hit” will cause the pachinko gaming machine 1 to be in the initial setting state (for example, when the system is reset, the power is supplied. The state is controlled in the same manner as when a predetermined return process is not executed after the input.

  The time saving state is also referred to as "high base", and the gaming state that is not the time saving state is also referred to as "low base" "non-time saving state". The probability variation state is also referred to as “high probability”, and the gaming state that is not the probability variation state is also referred to as “low probability” or “non-probability change”.

(Progress of the game controlled by the production control board 12)
In the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative pattern display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided on the effect display device 5, the first special figure game or the second special figure game is started. Then, the variable display of the decorative pattern (this is also a kind of effect) is started. At the timing when the variable display result (also referred to as the fixed special symbol) is stopped and displayed in the first special figure game and the second special figure game, the fixed decorative symbol (the variable display result) that is the variable display result of the decorative symbol ( A combination of three decorative patterns) is also stopped (displayed).

  In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative pattern, the variable display mode of the decorative pattern may be a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, with the reach mode, when the decorative pattern stopped and displayed on the screen of the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later, the decorative pattern that is not yet stopped and displayed (“reach variation”). (Also referred to as “pattern”) is a display mode in which the fluctuation continues.

  In addition, in this embodiment, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-described reach mode during variable display. As the reach effect, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B having different effect modes are prepared. In this embodiment, the jackpot expectation is higher in the order of super reach B>super reach A>normal reach.

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

  When the variable display result of the special figure game is "big hit", a fixed decorative design which is a predetermined big hit combination is derived and displayed on the screen of the effect display device 5 as a display result of the variable display of the decorative design. (The display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern is "big hit"). As an example, the same decorative pattern (for example, "7" at the time of probability variation big hit, non-probability variation big hit) on a predetermined effective line in the decoration pattern display areas 5L, 5C, 5R of "left", "middle", "right" At that time, "6" and the like) are all displayed together and displayed as a stop.

  If the variable display result is "miss", the variable display mode of the decorative design does not become the reach mode, and the fixed decorative pattern of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern. There is. In addition, when the variable display result is "miss", after the variable display mode of the decorative pattern becomes the reach mode, as a display result of the variable display of the decorative pattern, a predetermined reach combination other than the jackpot combination ("reach miss combination" (Also referred to as “”) may be stopped and displayed.

  An effect using the effect device 200 is executed when the above-mentioned super reach is executed (details will be described later).

(Directing device 200)
Next, details of the rendering device 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. In the following description, the direction in which the player is located is the front of the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the opposite direction is the rear (see FIG. 4 and the like). Further, the vertical and horizontal directions viewed from the player located in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be defined as the vertical and horizontal directions of the production device 200 as they are (see FIG. 3, FIG. 4, etc.). In addition, each member constituting the rendering device 200 is formed of synthetic resin or metal unless otherwise specified. Further, the attachment of each member may be performed by an appropriate method such as attachment using a screw or a screw or attachment such as fitting, unless otherwise specified.

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

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

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

  Each of the supports 211A to 211F is formed of a columnar boss (which may be a cylindrical shape; the same applies to the columnar shape hereinafter) that protrudes forward. The second to seventh gears 218 to 222 are rotatably supported by the supports 211A to 211E, respectively. Each gear has a through hole at its center, and is rotatably supported by inserting a support into the through hole. Each gear can rotate about the central axis of each support as a rotation axis. The support body 211F rotatably supports the rotation arm 225 (described later in detail).

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

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

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

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

  The third gear 219 has a cylindrical columnar portion 219A with a part of which is hollowed out, and an external gear 219B arranged behind the cylindrical portion 219A. The external gear 219B meshes with the second gear 218. The third gear 221 includes a detection piece 219C having an arcuate outer edge protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 219A, and a cylindrical protrusion protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface of the columnar portion 219A. 219D and.

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

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

  The rotating arm 225 has a fan shape. The rotating arm 225 has a long hole 225A in which a columnar protrusion 252A of the movable body 250 is inserted, a long hole 225B in which the protrusion 219D is inserted, and a through hole 225C in which the support 211F is inserted. Prepare The through hole 225C is located at the center of a circle forming a fan that is the shape of the rotating arm 225. The rotating arm 225 is rotatably attached to the base body 211 with the center axis of the support body 211C as the rotation axis. The long hole 225A is arranged on the first hypotenuse (side formed by the radius of the circle) of the fan, and is elongated in the direction in which the first hypotenuse extends. The long hole 225B is arranged on the second hypotenuse of the fan and is long in the direction in which the second hypotenuse extends. The width (length in the short direction) of the long hole 225A is substantially the same as the diameter of the columnar protrusion 252A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The width of the long hole 225B is substantially the same as the diameter of the columnar protrusion 219D (the diameter is slightly shorter).

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

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

(Operation of driving mechanism 210, etc.)
When the drive motor 215 rotates the rotating shaft 215A in the forward direction (leftward rotation), the first gear 217 also rotates in the forward direction. Since the second gear 218 meshes with the first gear 217 and the second gear 218 meshes with the third gear 219, the rotation of the rotation shaft 215A in the forward direction causes the second gear 218 to rotate in the reverse direction (clockwise rotation). ), and the 3rd gear 219 rotates normally. By the normal rotation of the third gear 219, the protrusion 219D also moves while drawing an arc. The protrusion 219D pushes the inner wall of the long hole 225B as it moves. As a result, the rotary arm 225 rotates upward (counterclockwise) around the support body 211F. By the rotation of the rotating arm 225, the protrusion 252A included in the movable body 250 inserted into the elongated hole 225A is moved upward. As a result, the movable body 250 moves upward (advance position). When the drive motor 215 reversely rotates the rotary shaft 215A, the movable body 250 moves downward (initial position) (the rotation direction of each gear may be reversed). In this way, the drive mechanism 210 converts the rotational force of the drive motor 215 into a driving force that moves the movable body 250 in the vertical direction. In addition, as described above, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. Further, the elastic body 229 is resistant to the movable body 250 moving downward. As a result, the load on the drive motor 215 due to the weight of the movable body 250 can be reduced, and the movable body 250 can be smoothly moved in the vertical direction.

  The movable body 250 may be stopped at the advanced position when the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off. As a result, it is possible to shorten the period in which the elastic body 229 is in the extended state, and it is possible to reduce the elastic force of the elastic body 229 becoming weaker over time.

  The movable body 250 is moved in the vertical direction under the control of the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120). Specifically, when the movable body 250 is moved from the initial position to the advanced position, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 215 to rotate the rotary shaft 215A, and the detection sensor 223 detects the detection piece 219C. At this time (when the detection signal is received from the detection sensor 223 or when the detection signal is received for a certain period), that is, when the movable body 250 moves to the advanced position, the rotation of the rotary shaft 215A is stopped. Thereby, the movable body 250 can be stopped at the advanced position. When the movable body 250 is returned from the advance position to the initial position, the drive motor 215 is rotated by the same amount as the rotation angle when the movable body 250 is moved from the initial position to the advance position (for example, the information is stored in the RAM 122). The rotating shaft 215A is reversely rotated. For example, the number of supplied drive pulses is counted and the same number of drive pulses are supplied during reverse rotation to rotate the rotary shaft 215A in reverse. Note that a detection sensor (the same sensor as the detection sensor 223, such as a photo sensor) is provided corresponding to the position of the detection piece 219C when the movable body 250 is at the initial position, and the detection piece 219C is detected by the detection sensor. When detected, the reverse rotation of the rotary shaft 215A may be stopped.

(Structure of the movable body 250, etc.)
Next, the detailed structure of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIGS. The movable body 250 has a heart-shaped ornamental body 269 and a member provided in front of the ornamental body 269 for representing the letters of LOVE, and the ornamental body 269 is deformed or each letter of LOVE is moved to produce the effect. Perform highly effective production.

  The movable body 250 includes a rack 251, a plate member 252, a substrate 253, a base body 255, an LED substrate 256, a drive motor 257, a detection sensor 259, first to third gears 261 to 263, and First to second slide members 265 to 266, first to second attachment members 267 to 268, a decorative body 269, a predetermined mechanism X (a member forming "LOVE" and a mechanism for moving each character of "LOVE". ), and.

(Configuration other than the predetermined mechanism X in the movable body 250)
First, the configuration other than the predetermined mechanism X will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 7.

  The rack 251 has teeth extending in the vertical direction that mesh with the fourth gear 220 (FIG. 5 and the like). As can be seen from the above, the rack 251 is biased upward by the elastic body 229 (FIG. 5 and the like) via the fourth gear 220 and the like.

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

  The board 253 is a circuit board that has a predetermined circuit and is electrically connected to the effect control board 12. The board 253 relays control signals supplied from the effect control board 12 to the drive motor 257, the drive motor 273 described later, the LED board 275 described later, and the like, and the production control from the detection sensor 259 described later and the detection sensor S described later. The detection signal supplied to the substrate 12 is relayed. The substrate 253 is attached to the rear surface of the base body 255. The substrate 253 has a through hole and a notch, and the plate member 252 is attached to the rear surface of the base body 255 with a screw, a screw or the like through the through hole or the notch. As a result, the rack 251 is also attached to the base body 255.

  The base body 255 serves as a base of the movable body 250 and supports various parts on the front surface and the rear surface. The base body 255 includes rack portions 255A and 255B that extend in the left-right direction on the front surface (these are used in the predetermined mechanism X). In addition, the base body 255 includes projections 255C to 255H, which are columnar bosses and the like protruding rearward from the periphery (rear surface or the like). The base body 255 is provided with protrusions 255I to 255L made of a cylindrical boss or the like that protrudes forward from the surroundings (front surface or the like) (these are used in the predetermined mechanism X). The base body 255 also includes a fixing portion 255J to which a detection sensor (not shown) (hereinafter, referred to as a detection sensor S) is fixed. The detection sensor S detects a detection piece 266D of the second slide member 266 described later, and may be a photo sensor or the like like the detection sensor 223. Further, the LED substrate 256 is inserted on the upper part of the base body 255, and a plurality of insertion portions 255M for fixing the LED substrate 256 are formed.

  The LED substrate 256 is held on the curved upper surface of the base body 255 by the insertion portion 255M and the insertion portion 271C (see FIG. 8). The substrate body 256B of the LED substrate 256 has a curved shape that matches the shape of the base body 255. The LED board 256 is electrically connected to the board 253, and various circuits, LEDs 256A that emit light, and connectors 256C are mounted on the board body 256B. A light source other than the LED 256A may be adopted as the light source. The LED board 256 causes the LED 256A to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control board 12 relayed by the board 253. The upper part of the decorative body 269 is illuminated by the light emission of the LED 256A. Since the decoration body 269 can transmit light, the upper portion of the decoration body 269 appears to emit light by the light from the LED 256A. The details of the LED board 256 will be described later.

  The drive motor 257 is attached to the front surface of the base body 255. The rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 passes through a through hole provided in the base body 255 and extends rearward of the base body 255. The drive motor 257 operates by a control signal (drive pulse or the like) from the effect control board 12.

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

  The first gear 261 is fitted to the rotary shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 and rotates together with the rotary shaft 257A. A second gear 262 and a third gear 263 arranged on the left and right of the first gear 261 mesh with the first gear 261. The second gear 262 is rotatably supported by the base body 255 by inserting the protrusion 255C into a through hole formed in the center thereof. The third gear 263 is rotatably supported by the base body 255 by inserting the protrusion 255D into a through hole formed in the center thereof. Each gear can rotate with the central axis of each protrusion as the axis of rotation. The second gear 262 includes a columnar protrusion 262A protruding rearward. The third gear 263 includes a cylindrical protrusion 263A protruding rearward.

  The first slide member 265 includes a long hole 265A elongated in the vertical direction at the right end, and a long hole 265B elongated in the left-right direction at the center. The protrusion 262A is inserted into the long hole 265A. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the long hole 265A is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusion 262A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusion 262A can move inside the long hole 265A. Projections 255E and 255F, which are aligned in the left-right direction, are inserted into the long holes 265B. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the long hole 265B is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusions 255E and 255F (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusions 255E and 255F can move inside the elongated hole 265B. The protrusions 255E and 255F prevent the first slide member 265 from moving in a direction other than the horizontal direction. The first slide member 265 has two small holes 265C at the left end.

  The second slide member 266 includes an elongated hole 266A elongated in the vertical direction at the left end portion, and an elongated hole 266B elongated in the lateral direction at the center. The protrusion 263A is inserted into the long hole 266A. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the long hole 266A is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusion 263A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusion 263A can move inside the long hole 266A. Projections 255G and 255H, which are aligned in the left-right direction, are inserted into the long holes 266B. The width (vertical length) of the long hole 266B is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusions 255G and 255H (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusions 255G and 255H can move inside the elongated hole 266B. The protrusions 255G and 255H prevent the second slide member 266 from moving in a direction other than the horizontal direction. The second slide member 266 has two small holes 266C at the right end.

  Further, the second slide member 266 includes a detection piece 266D detected by the detection sensor S. The detection piece 266D is arranged at a position detected by the detection sensor S when the second slide member 266 is at the initial position (when the decorative body described later is not deformed. The state of FIG. 12A). .. When detecting the detection piece 266D, the detection sensor S supplies a detection signal indicating that to the effect control board 12.

  The first attachment member 267 is arranged inside the decorative body 269 (details of which will be described later). The first mounting member 267 has two small diameter rods 267A protruding rearward. The two small diameter rods 267A respectively pass through the two small holes 269F provided in the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269 and are fitted into the two small holes 265C of the first slide member 265, respectively. Therefore, the first attachment member 267 is attached to the left end portion of the first slide member 265 by sandwiching the protruding portion 269E of the decorative body 269. The first mounting member 267 has a through hole 267B extending in the left-right direction. A portion of the first attachment member 267 that forms the through hole 267B has a shape that fits into the through hole 269A of the decoration body 269 (see also FIG. 8 and the like. The first attachment member 267 is partially included in the decoration body 269). Visible from outside). Therefore, the through hole 267B is arranged inside the through hole 269A.

  The second attachment member 268 is arranged inside the decorative body 269 (details of which will be described later). The second mounting member 268 has two small diameter rods 268A protruding rearward. The two small diameter rods 268A respectively pass through the two small holes 269G provided in the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269 and are fitted into the two small holes 266C of the second slide member 266, respectively. Therefore, the second attachment member 268 is attached to the right end portion of the second slide member 266 by sandwiching the protruding portion 269E of the decorative body 269. The second mounting member 268 has a through hole 268B extending in the left-right direction. A portion of the second attachment member 268 forming the through hole 268B has a shape that enters into the through hole 269D of the decoration body 269 (see also FIG. 8 and the like. The second attachment member 268 is partially included in the decoration body 269). Visible from outside). Therefore, the through hole 268B is arranged inside the through hole 269D.

  The decorative body 269 has a heart shape that bulges in the front direction and is a member that can transmit light. The decorative body 269 is given a predetermined decoration. The decoration body 269 is made of, for example, natural rubber or various kinds of synthetic rubber including silicone rubber, and is elastically deformable. The decorative body 269 is provided with through holes 269A and 269D on its side portion and through holes 269B and 269C on its front portion. The respective end portions of the first attachment member 267 and the second attachment member 268 enter into the through holes 269A and 269D, respectively. The decorative body 269 has a projecting portion 269E projecting inward from the rear end of the side portion. The projecting portion 269E of the ornamental body 269 is provided with two small holes 269F and two small holes 269G. ) And a small diameter rod 268A of the second mounting member 268 (which is fitted into the two small holes 266C of the second slide member 266). Therefore, the decorative body 269 is connected to the first attachment member 267 and the first slide member 265 at the left end portion where the small hole 269F is provided, and the second attachment member 268 is connected at the right end portion where the small hole 269G is provided. And the second slide member 266. Further, a substantially triangular cutout 269H and a cutout 269I are formed in the upper portion of the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a force that compresses the decorative body 269 from the left-right direction acts, the cutouts 269H and 269I close the cutout portions. As a result, the decorative body 269 is easily deformed by the compressive force from the left and right directions. The decoration body 269 houses the base body 255 and the like therein. Therefore, the size of the structure for operating the movable body 250 is made compact.

(Operation for deforming the decorative body 269)
When the drive motor 257 rotates the rotation shaft 257A in the forward direction (clockwise rotation), the first gear 261 also rotates in the forward direction. The second gear 262 and the third gear 263 mesh with the first gear 261, and the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 rotate in the reverse direction (counterclockwise) when the rotating shaft 257A rotates in the forward direction. Here, the protrusion 262A of the second gear 262 is provided in the upper portion of the second gear 262, while the protrusion 263A of the second gear 263 is provided in the lower portion of the second gear 263. ing. Therefore, when the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 rotate in reverse, the protrusion 262A moves to the left and the protrusion 263A moves to the right. That is, the protrusion 262A and the protrusion 263A move in the directions away from each other by being at the target position with respect to the rotation axis of each gear. The protrusion 262A that moves to the left pushes the inner wall of the elongated hole 265A of the first slide member 265 and slides the first slide member 265 to the left (the first attachment member 267 also moves). The protrusion 263A that moves to the right pushes the inner wall of the elongated hole 266A of the second slide member 266 and slides the second slide member 266 to the right (the second attachment member 268 also moves). In this way, the first slide member 265 (and the first mounting member 267) and the second slide member 266 (and the second mounting member 268) move in the left and right directions in a direction away from each other.

  When the drive motor 257 reversely rotates the rotary shaft 257A, the operation in the opposite direction is performed, and the first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 are separated from each other. Move in the direction of approaching each other along the left-right direction.

  Since the first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267 are connected to each other with the left end portion of the decorative body 269 sandwiched therebetween, the left end portion also moves left and right as the left and right of these are moved. Since the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 are connected with the right end portion of the decorative body 269 being sandwiched therebetween, the right end portion also moves left and right as they move left and right. Therefore, when the drive motor 257 rotates the rotating shaft 257A in the forward direction, the decorative body 269 is elastically deformed so as to be pulled from both the left and right sides (see especially the left side view of FIG. 12B), and the rotating shaft 257A rotates in the reverse direction. Then, the decorative body 269 elastically deforms as if pressed from both the left and right sides (see especially the drawing on the left side of FIG. 12C). As described above, the substantially triangular cutouts 269H and 269I are formed in the upper portion of the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269. As a result, when the decorative body 269 is pressed from both the left and right sides and compressed, the notch formed in the substantially triangular shape is closed, and the decorative body 269 is easily deformed.

  As described above, the drive motor 257 is controlled by the effect control board 12. The production control board 12 supplies the control signal to the drive motor 257 to repeat the forward rotation and the reverse rotation of the rotation shaft 257A. Then, the decorative body 269 repeats elastically deforming so as to be pulled left and right and elastically deforming so as to be pushed from the left and right. As a result, the heart-shaped ornament 269 looks like a heartbeat (see FIGS. 12 and 16). The effect control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is in the initial position (that is, the decorative body 269 is in the initial state (state of FIG. 12A)) by the detection sensor S. When the production control board 12 receives the detection signal from the detection sensor S (or when the detection signal is received over a predetermined period), the production control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is at the initial position. A detection sensor is provided at the position of the detection piece 266D when the second slide member 266 is at the position shown in FIGS. 12B and 12C, and the movable body 250 is in the state shown in FIGS. It is also possible to detect that there is and to control the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 based on this detection.

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

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

  The drive motor 273 is attached to the front surface of the cover body 271. The rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 passes through a through hole provided in the cover body 271 and extends behind the cover body 271. The drive motor 273 operates according to a control signal (drive pulse or the like) from the effect control board 12.

  The LED board 275 is electrically connected to the board 253. The LED board 275 is mounted with various circuits and an LED 275A that emits light to the front (decorative body 269). A light source other than the LED 275A may be used. The LED board 275 causes the LED 275A to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control board 12 relayed by the board 253. The decorative body 269 is illuminated by the light emission of the LED 275A (irradiation of light from the LED 275A). Since the decoration body 269 can transmit light, it appears to emit light by such illumination. The LED board 275 has a large cutout 275B extending from the upper side to the center. Note that the way the light is emitted appears to change due to the elastic deformation of the decorative body 269. This point will be described later.

  The cover body 277 has through holes 277A and 277B (these applications and the like will be described later). The cover body 277 covers the LED substrate 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the front of the drive motor 273, and is interposed between these and the decoration body 269. Further, the cover body 277 covers the upper side of the LED substrate 256. Since the cover body 277 is made of translucent synthetic resin, the light from the LED 275A mounted on the LED substrate 275 passes through the cover body 277 and illuminates the front surface of the decorative body 269. Further, the light from the LED 256A mounted on the LED substrate 256 passes through the cover body 277 and illuminates the upper portion of the decoration body 269. The cover body 277 prevents the decoration body 269 from coming into contact with the LED board 256, the LED board 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the drive motor 273. This can prevent heat generated from these electronic components from being transmitted to the decorative body 269 and damaging the decorative body 269. Furthermore, contact between the electronic component and the decorative body 269 is prevented, and damage to the electronic component is prevented. The cover body 277 is attached to the cover body 271 via the LED substrate 275. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a cover body 277 and an LED substrate 275 are provided with a through hole that communicates with each other when they are stacked, and a screw, a screw, or the like is passed through the through hole to screw the cover body 271 into the through hole. The cover body 277 and the LED substrate 275 are attached to the cover body 271. During this attachment, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6) and the drive motor 273 pass through the notch 275B of the LED board 275.

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

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

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

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

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

  The protrusions 295A to 295C are cylindrical bosses or the like protruding rearward. The protrusion 295A rotatably supports the second pinion gear 292. Specifically, the protrusion 295A is supported by inserting the protrusion 295A into the through hole at the center of the second pinion gear 292. The second pinion gear 292 can rotate with the central axis of the protrusion 295A as the rotation axis. The protrusions 295B to 295C are arranged side by side in the left-right direction and are inserted into the later-described elongated holes 296B of the second rack member 296.

  The mounting portion 295D is composed of a cylindrical boss or the like having a fitting hole. The fitting rod 282A of the second character member 282 is fitted into the fitting hole of the mounting portion 295D. The fitting rod 282A passes through the through hole 269B of the decorative body 269, the through hole 271A of the cover body 271, the through hole 277A of the cover body 277, the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and fits with the mounting portion 295D. As will be described later, the second character member 282 moves in the left-right direction as the first rack member 295 moves. Therefore, the shape of the notch 275B does not hinder the movement of the second character member 282, and the through hole 269B, the through hole 271A, and the through hole 277A prevent the second character member 282 from moving. It is long in the left-right direction to allow it.

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

  The tooth 295F extends in the left-right direction and meshes with the first pinion gear 291 from above.

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

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

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

  The protrusions 295B and 295C arranged in the left-right direction are inserted into the long holes 296B. The width (vertical length) of the long hole 296B is substantially the same as the diameter of the columnar protrusions 295B and 295C (the diameter is slightly shorter). Therefore, the second rack member 296 can slide in the left-right direction, but cannot move in any other direction.

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

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

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

  Each of the protrusions 297A to 297C includes a columnar boss protruding rearward. The protrusion 297A rotatably supports the third pinion gear 293. Specifically, the protrusion 297A is supported by inserting the protrusion 297A into the through hole at the center of the third pinion gear 293. The third pinion gear 293 can rotate with the central axis of the protrusion 297A as the rotation axis. The protrusions 297B to 297C are arranged side by side in the left-right direction, and are inserted into elongated holes 298B of the fourth rack member 298, which will be described later.

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

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

  The long holes 297K and 297L are long in the left-right direction, the projection 255K is inserted into the long hole 297K, and the projection 255L is inserted into the long hole 295L. The widths (lengths in the vertical direction) of the long holes 297K and 297L are substantially the same as the diameters of the columnar protrusions 255K and 255L (the diameters are slightly shorter). Therefore, the third rack member 297 can slide in the left-right direction, but does not move in any other direction.

  The fourth rack member 298 has an elongated shape in the left-right direction and is arranged in front of the third rack member 297. The fourth rack member 298 functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction with the rotation of the third pinion gear 293 as described later. The fourth rack member 298 includes teeth 298A, an elongated hole 298B, and a mounting portion 298C.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  When the third rack member 297 moves to the right, the third pinion gear 293 supported by the protrusion 297A of the third rack member 297 also moves to the right. Since the small-diameter first gear included in the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the stationary rack portion 255B from below, the third pinion gear 293 moves to the right while rotating forward. Since the large-diameter second gear of the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the teeth 298A of the fourth rack member 298 from above, the fourth rack member 298 also moves to the right by the movement and reverse rotation of the third pinion gear 293. To do. By using the third pinion gear 293, the movement amount of the fourth rack member 298 is larger than that of the third rack member 297.

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

  FIG. 11 shows a state after the first to fourth rack members 295 to 298 and the first to fourth character members 281 to 284 have moved. The movement amount of the second rack member 296 (first character member 281) is larger than that of the first rack member 295 (second character member 282). The movement amount of the fourth rack member 298 (fourth character member 284) is larger than that of the third rack member 297 (third character member 283). Due to such a relationship, in this embodiment, the distance between the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 when they move increases with the same degree of change (at any timing during movement). Each member is lined up at approximately equal intervals).

  The second character member 282 and the third character member 283 can be moved by the through holes 269B and 269C of the decorative body 269 without interfering with the decorative body 269. Further, since the mounting portion 296C to which the first character member 281 is mounted and the mounting portion 298C to which the fourth character member 284 is mounted are always outside the decorative body 269, these do not interfere with the decorative body 269 or the like. It is possible to move to. That is, the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 are movable independently of the deformation of the decorative body 269.

  In the state of FIG. 11, when the drive motor 273 reversely rotates its rotary shaft, the operation opposite to the operation described above is performed, and the state returns to the initial state of FIG.

  The drive motor 273 is controlled by the effect control board 12. The production control board 12 supplies a control signal to the drive motor 273 to cause the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 to rotate forward by a predetermined rotation angle, so that the state of FIG. Change the character spacing (increase the spacing). In addition, the production control board 12 supplies a control signal to the drive motor 273 to reversely rotate the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 and change the interval of the characters of LOVE from the state of FIG. 11 to the state of FIG. 10 ( Reduce the spacing). Production control board 12 detects detection piece 295E by detection sensor 259 (when a detection signal is received from detection sensor 259 or when a detection signal is received for a certain period of time), that is, each rack such as first rack member 295. The driving of the drive motor 273 is terminated when the members and the like have reached the initial position (the state shown in FIG. 10).

  It should be noted that the effect control board 12 repeatedly performs the normal rotation and the reverse rotation of the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273, and the spacing between the letters “LOVE” (the spacing between the first to fourth character members 281 to 284, respectively). ) May be continuously changed multiple times.

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

(Relationship between deformation of movable body 250 and light emission)
The relationship between the deformation of the movable body 250 and the light emission mode of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A shows an initial state of the movable body 250. At this time, the movable body 250 (decorative body 269) is not deformed. The production control board 12 controls the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6, etc.) and changes the movable body 250 in the order of FIG. 12(A)→(B)→(C)→(A)→(B)→... (Thus, the ornament appears to be pounding) (Strictly speaking, the state of (A) is entered between (B) and (C) of FIG. 12. The state of (A) is ( This is because the state is between the state of B) and the state of (C).) When the movable body 250 is deformed, the effect control board 12 supplies a control signal to the LED board 275 via the board 253 to cause the LED 275A to emit light (that is, the decorative body 269 is illuminated from behind). .. In the following description, it is assumed that the brightness of the LED 275A is constant.

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

  When the rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 and the like) is rotated in the normal direction (clockwise rotation) from the initial state, the first gear 261 also rotates in the normal direction as described above, and the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 are used. The first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267 move away from the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 (see FIG. 12B). As a result, the decorative body 269 extends in the left-right direction (elastically deforms in a manner of being pulled from both the left-right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 is reduced, the light transmittance is improved, and more light of the LED 275A is transmitted, so that the movable body 250 (the decorative body 269) at this time looks brighter than the initial state.

  Then, when the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.) is reversely rotated (counterclockwise rotation), the first gear 261 also reversely rotates as described above, and the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 are used. The first slide member 265 and the first attachment member 267, and the second slide member 266 and the second attachment member 268 move in a direction toward each other (see FIG. 12C). As a result, the decorative body 269 contracts in the left-right direction (elastically deforms so as to be pressed from both the left-right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 becomes thicker, the light transmittance is lowered, and light of the LED 275A is less transmitted, so that the movable body 250 (the decorative body 269) at this time has the state of FIG. It looks darker than the initial state.

  As described above, in this embodiment, the decorative body 269 of the movable body 250 expands and contracts in the left-right direction as shown in FIGS. Since the brightness of 269 changes according to its beating motion, the effect of production is increased. The brightness of the LED 275A may be changed according to the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269. For example, even if the luminance is increased when the light transmittance is high (FIG. 12B), the luminance is decreased when the light transmittance is low (FIG. 12C). Good. As a result, the brightness of the decorative body 269 changes more greatly in accordance with the beating of the decorative body 269, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced. The light from the LED 256A mounted on the LED substrate 256 illuminates the upper portion of the decorative body 269. Therefore, in FIG. 12 showing the state of the front surface of the decorative body 269, the state of being illuminated by the LED 256A is not shown. On the other hand, the player can visually recognize the upper portion of the decorative body 269 illuminated by the light from the LED 256A. The light transmittance of the upper part of the decorative body 269 changes as the decorative body 269 expands and contracts in the left-right direction. Therefore, the brightness of the light from the LED 256A also changes according to the pulsating movement of the decorative body 269.

(Structure of LED board 256, etc.)
13: is a figure which shows an LED board|substrate, (A) is the perspective view seen from the front, (B) is the top view seen from the arrow B in (A). 14A and 14B are views showing an LED substrate, in which FIG. 14A is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting line XIVA-XIVA in FIG. 13B, and FIG. 14B is a cutting line XIVB-XIVB in FIG. 13B. FIG.

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

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

  As shown in FIG. 14(B), the curved portion 285 is not curved in a cross section taken along a cutting line XIVB-XIVB (a cutting line orthogonal to the cutting line XIVA-XIVA) parallel to the front-rear direction and is a flat plate. Is shown in the figure. Similarly, the non-curved portion 286 and the curved portion 287 are not curved in a cross section taken along a cutting line parallel to the front-rear direction.

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

  Next, a mounting mode of the electronic component 256D provided on the substrate body 256B will be described. FIG. 15 is a view showing an LED substrate, (A) is an enlarged view of “XVA portion” in FIG. 13(A), (B) is a cross-sectional view taken along the arrow B in (A), and (C). [Fig. 4] is a cross-sectional view seen from the arrow C in (A).

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

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

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15C, the substrate body 256B is not curved in the sectional view taken along the sectional line parallel to the front-back direction. The LED 256A is provided on the substrate body 256B so that the Y axis, which is the longitudinal direction, coincides with the tangent line on the substrate body 256B passing through the mounting position Z0. Further, in FIG. 15C, a tangent line passing through the point Z3 on the substrate body 256B corresponding to the point Y1 advanced from the point Y0 in the −Y axis direction and a point Y2 advanced from the point Y0 in the +Y axis direction. The tangent line passing through the point Z4 on the substrate body 256B coincides with the Y axis. As described above, the direction of the tangent line on the substrate body 256B in FIG. 15C does not change even if the position on the Y axis is changed. From this, the substrate body 256B has a curvature of 0 in the Y-axis direction (longitudinal direction of the LED 256A).

  In this manner, the LED 256A is soldered at the mounting position Z0 on the substrate body 256B with the short-side direction (X-axis direction) being the direction with a large curvature and the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) being the direction with a small curvature. ing. Particularly, in the present embodiment, the lateral direction (X-axis direction) of the LED 256A is set to the direction in which the curvature is maximum at the mounting position Z0, and the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) of the LED 256A is set to the minimum curvature at the mounting position Z0. It is made to agree with the direction (direction of curvature 0). Even in the electronic component 256D other than the LED 256A indicated by the “XVA part” in FIG. 13A, at the mounting position on the substrate main body 256B, the short-side direction has a large curvature and the long-side direction has a small curvature. It is soldered so as to face (the longitudinal direction faces the front-back direction).

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

  After that, the production control board 12 sets the movable body 250 to the initial state before the deformation, and then controls the drive mechanism 210 (drive motor 215) to move the movable body 250 to the advanced position (the detailed operation is described above. reference). At this time, the effect control board 12 displays the effect image EG3 which makes the drive motor 273 conspicuous on the effect display device 5 (FIG. 16(D)). At this time, the mode of the movable body 250 may be changed (illumination of the decorative body 269, deformation of the decorative body 269, change of the interval between letters of LOVE, etc.).

(Effects of this embodiment)
As in the above embodiment, the decorative body 269 is deformed by moving the left and right ends of the decorative body 269. Therefore, the decorative body 269 can be changed in a form that has never existed before, and the effect of production is improved. In this way, by applying a force in a plurality of directions to the ornamental body at a plurality of places, the ornamental body is changed, so that the ornamental body is changed into a form in which the player is interested (for example, in a complicated manner). It is possible to improve the effect.

  In this embodiment, the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is changed by deforming the decorative body 269 (changing the thickness by deformation). Accordingly, the brightness of the decorative body 269 that is illuminated later can be changed depending on its shape. In particular, since the transmittance can be changed in accordance with the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269, the brightness of the decorative body 269 can be continuously changed by continuously changing the shape of the decorative body 269. (Complex control is unnecessary). Therefore, the effect of production can be improved.

  Further, by changing the brightness of the LED 257A according to the deformation of the decorative body 269, the effect due to the deformation of the decorative body 269 and the effect due to the light can be executed in association with each other at the same time, so that the effect of the effect can be improved. The staging effect can be improved.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the effect image EG1 and the like corresponding to the change of the decorative body 269 are displayed on the effect display device 5, the display image of the effect display device 5 can be linked with the deformation of the decorative object 269. , The effect of production can be improved.

  Further, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. Further, the elastic body 229 is resistant to the movable body 250 moving downward. As a result, the load on the drive motor 215 due to the weight of the movable body 250 can be reduced, and the movable body 250 can be smoothly moved in the vertical direction.

  In addition, the electronic component 256D on the curved board body 256B is soldered at the mounting position in such a manner that the short side direction is the direction in which the curvature of the LED board 256 is large and the long side direction is the direction in which the curvature of the LED board 256 is small. There is. This can prevent cracks from occurring in the solder fixing the electronic component 256D. Such an effect does not depend on the manufacturing process of the LED substrate, and even in an LED substrate formed by soldering electronic components to a curved substrate body, after soldering electronic components such as LEDs to the flat substrate body, The same effect is produced also in the LED substrate formed by bending the substrate body.

  It is difficult to bend an electronic component such as an LED in accordance with the shape of a curved substrate body in terms of cost and manufacturing. Therefore, the non-curved electronic component is soldered to the substrate body, but an unavoidable gap is created between the non-curved electronic component and the curved substrate body. Due to this unavoidable gap, when an electronic component is soldered to a curved substrate body, fixing by solder becomes insufficient, or unexpected thermal stress or stress concentration occurs in the solder. This tends to cause cracks in the solder that fixes the electronic component. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the gap between the electronic component and the substrate body is made small by orienting the longitudinal direction of the electronic component in the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body is small. On the other hand, by arranging the lateral direction of the electronic component toward the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body is large, the electronic component is arranged so that the gap is as small as possible even in the direction in which the large gap is generated. As a result, the soldering of the electronic component can be ensured, unexpected thermal stress and stress concentration can be reduced, and cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

  Next, a case will be described in which a plate-shaped board body to which electronic components are soldered is bent to form a curved LED board. When the electronic component is soldered to the board body on the flat plate, no gap is created between the electronic component and the board body, and the soldering is less likely to be defective. However, when the board main body to which the electronic component is soldered is bent, a tensile region and a compression region are formed on the substrate main body with the neutral axis as a boundary. At this time, the surface of the substrate body on the tensile region side expands and the surface of the compression region side contracts. However, the electronic components and solder on the surface of the substrate body try to resist the expansion and contraction of the surface of the substrate body. Therefore, when the board body is bent, the solder is likely to be cracked. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the electronic component is arranged so that the lateral direction is aligned with the direction in which the surface is greatly expanded and contracted by the bending process of the substrate body (the direction in which the tensile force or the compressive force acts, and the direction in which the curvature is large). Are arranged. As a result, the range in which the surface of the substrate body restrains expansion and contraction can be reduced, the stress acting on the solder can be reduced, and cracks occurring in the solder can be suppressed.

  Further, a substantially triangular cutout 269H and a cutout 269I are formed in the upper portion of the projecting portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a force that compresses the decorative body 269 from the left-right direction acts, the cutouts 269H and 269I close the cutout portions. Accordingly, the decorative body 269 can be easily deformed by the compressive force from the left and right directions, and the operation of the decorative body 269 can be made natural.

  In addition, the first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267 are connected with the left end portion of the decorative body 269 sandwiched therebetween, and the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 are the right end portion of the decorative body 269. Are connected in a state of sandwiching. By connecting the decorative body 269 in such a state that the decorative body 269 is sandwiched in this manner, it is possible to suppress a problem that the decorative body 269 is torn due to stress concentration at a specific place when the decorative body 269 is deformed. ..

(Modification)
The present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and the like, and various modifications and applications of the above embodiments and the like are possible. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-mentioned embodiment, and it is possible to solve at least one problem in the related art, and the part described in the above-mentioned embodiment It may be provided with the structure of. The modifications of the above-described embodiment are illustrated below, but at least some of the modifications can be combined as long as no contradiction occurs.

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

(Modification 2)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may perform so-called initial operation at the time of initial setting when the power is turned on. The initial operation uses (1) various sensors to determine whether the movable body 250 or the like is in an initial state (for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is normally powered off, the movable body 250 is in an initial state). If it is not in the initial state, a process of returning the movable body 250 or the like to the initial state is executed, and (2) whether the movable body 250 or the like normally operates is determined by a clerk at the game hall or at the time of factory shipment. A process of actually operating the movable body 250 or the like to return it to an initial state in order to allow the worker or the like to visually confirm (for example, the same operation as when performing an effect using the movable body 250 or the like during a game). Performing at least one of performing the processing to be performed by the movable body 250 and the like. The initial state is, for example, (1) a state when no external force is applied to the decorative body 269 or the like, (2) a normal state without abnormality (for example, a state when the power is turned on normally without abnormality, etc.) , The effect is not being executed) before the decorative body 269 or the like is operated. Then, when performing an initial operation (moving the movable body 250, deforming the decorative body 269, moving the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284, etc.) when the power is turned on, the effect control board 12 causes the effect display device 5 to perform. In addition, an image to be displayed when executing the effect by the movable body 250 such as the effect image is not displayed (for example, the effect display device 5 does not display the image or displays only a predetermined initial screen). It is better to display the recovery screen when the power is restored). This can improve the visibility of the operation of the movable body 250 when the power is turned on (in particular, the above (2)).
Initial operation including).

(Modification 3)
Even if the external force necessary for the deformation does not act during the deformation of the decorative body 269 (for example, even if the power is turned off due to a power failure or the like), the elastic force (restoring force) causes the decorative body 269 to be The state may be closer to the initial state (initial shape) than the state. For example, a stepping motor or the like having a weak detent torque may be adopted as the drive motor 257 to increase the elastic force of the decorative body 269 (the restoring force required to rotate the rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 that is not powered on). It is desirable that the decoration body 269 has the above). Note that the decorative body 269 and the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 may approach the initial state when the power is off by the force of an elastic body such as a spring provided in a mechanism that drives them. .. To approach the initial state includes both returning the decorative body 269 to the initial state and returning to a state (shape) close to the initial state. When the decorative body 269 approaches the initial state to some extent, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience (for example, it is difficult for the decorative body 269 to return to the initial state due to an unintended habit) because the deformed decorative body 269 is left as it is.

(Modification 4)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may include means for monitoring the voltage of the power supply. In this case, when the value of the voltage of the power supply falls below a predetermined value, it is determined that the power supply will be cut off, such as a power failure, and the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 are controlled to bring the rendering device 200 to an initial state. You may go. It should be noted that the predetermined value may be a value that secures a voltage required to operate the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 (various drive motors) (a value larger than a threshold value at the time of determining power-off). Should be). For example, the production control board 12 controls the drive motor 273 to bring the first slide member 265, the first mounting member 267, the second slide member 266, and the second mounting member 268 closer to their original positions (moved to the initial position). Including, and moving to the vicinity of the initial position). Thereby, the force in the direction of returning the decorative body 269 to the initial state can be applied to the decorative body 269, and the decorative body 269 can be brought close to the initial state (at this time, the first character member 281 to the fourth character). The member 284 may also be brought closer to the initial state). The description of “the initial state” and “bringing closer to the initial state” and the effects of Modification 4 are similar to those of Modification 3. It should be noted that a backup power supply or the like is provided, and after the power is actually cut off and electric power is no longer supplied from the outside, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 273 by the backup power supply and the first slide member. The 265 and the first mounting member 267, the second slide member 266, and the second mounting member 268 may be brought close to their original positions. Note that the decoration body 269 does not have to be an elastic body, and in this case, the above-described processing for bringing the rendering device 200 closer to the initial state may be performed.

(Modification 5)
The decorative body 269 may be one in which a force acts in the vertical direction or an oblique direction, or one in which a force acts in three or more directions. The decorative body 269 may be one in which a force acts in one direction. In addition, when a force in a plurality of directions is applied to the decorative body 269, the forces in the plurality of directions may be applied simultaneously or at different timings. For example, the force may be applied to the right end portion of the decorative body 269 and then the force may be applied to the left end portion thereof. The magnitude of the force in a plurality of directions may be the same, or at least one may be different from the other. The direction of the acting force, the number of the acting forces, the action timing, and the like may be adapted to the shape of the ornamental body 269 (in the above-described embodiment, since the ornamental body 269 has a heart shape, the ornamental body 269 has a heartbeat). In order to make it look like they are applying force simultaneously on the left and right).

  The decoration body 269 may be set to, for example, the state shown in FIG. 12A as an initial state and transition to only the state shown in FIG. 12B. As described above, the decorative body 269 does not expand and contract from the initial state, and may perform only the operation of extending from the initial state (it may be defined by the rotation angle of the drive motor or the like). Further, the decoration body 269 may shift to only the state of FIG. 12C, for example, with the state of FIG. 12A as the initial state. In this way, the decorative body 269 may perform only the operation of contracting from the initial state (it may be defined by the rotation angle of the drive motor or the like).

(Modification 6)
For example, when the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is the first transmittance due to the expansion of the decorative body 269, the luminance of the LED 257A (illumination from the rear) is set to the first luminance, and the decorative body 269 shrinks. When the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is the second transmittance lower than the first transmittance, the brightness of the LED 257A may be the second brightness higher than the first brightness. For example, the brightness may be low in FIG. 12B and high in FIG. 12C. By doing so, for example, even if the decorative body 269 is deformed, the apparent brightness of the decorative body 269 may not change. This can enhance the effect of production.

  Further, the speed of movement of the decorative body 269 (speed of pulsation, etc.) may be changed, and the change in the brightness of the LED 257A may be adjusted to the speed of the movement. For example, when changing the brightness (brightness) according to the movement (beat) of the decorative body 269, the faster the movement, the faster the change in brightness (the faster the cycle of light and dark), the slower the movement, The change in brightness may also be delayed (the cycle of light and dark may be delayed). For example, the deformation period of the decoration body 269 and the change cycle of the luminance of the LED 257A can be matched by keeping the relationship between the certain state of the decoration body 269 and the luminance at that time always the same. As a result, the effect of production can be enhanced. Note that the emission color of the LED 257A may be changed in addition to or in addition to the change in luminance (the faster the color, the darker the color, etc.). Various modes (shape, color, blinking period, size, number of images, etc.) of the effect images EG1, EG2 and the like displayed on the effect display device 5 may be changed according to the speed of movement of the decorative body 269. (The effect image may be changed to another image depending on the speed of movement of the decorative body 269). Depending on the manner of movement of the decorative body 269 (direction of movement (expansion/contraction direction, etc.), amount of movement, speed of movement, etc.), the luminance and emission color (lighting color) of the LED 257A, the manner of effect image, etc. can be changed. Good.

(Modification 7)
The effect using the effect device 200 may be executed not only when the effect of the super reach is executed, but also in the effect of the notice, the look-ahead notice, the effect in the jackpot gaming state, and the like. The movable body 250 may have any suitable shape and the like. Further, the present invention can be applied to other gaming machines such as slot machines and enclosed gaming machines.

(Modification 8)
The LED board 256 described above has a curvature in the left-right direction, but does not have a curvature in the front-back direction orthogonal to the left-right direction. The electronic components on the substrate body are arranged with their longitudinal directions oriented in the front-rear direction where the curvature is zero. The present invention can be applied not only to a substrate having such a shape, but also when soldering an electronic component to a substrate having a curvature in any direction. 17: is a figure which shows the other example of a LED board|substrate, (A) is a top view, (B) is sectional drawing of the cutting line BB in (A). FIG. 18 is a diagram showing another example of the LED substrate, (A) is a cross-sectional view taken along the cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA in FIG. 17(A), and (B) is a “B portion” in (A). It is an enlarged view of ".

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

  The board body 301 has a rectangular shape in plan view, and differs from the above-described LED board 256 in that the surface thereof is curved in any direction. In the cross section shown in FIG. 17B taken along a cutting line BB parallel to the left-right direction, the substrate body 301 has a highly curved section 311 that is largely curved and a low curved section that has a smaller curvature than the highly curved section 311. 310 and a low curvature section 312. The low-curvature section 310 and the low-curvature section 312 are line-symmetrical with respect to the center of the LED substrate 300. On the other hand, the substrate body 301 is also curved in the cross section shown in FIG. 18A taken along a cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA parallel to the front-rear direction. However, the degree of bending is smaller than the degree of bending in any section of the cross section shown in FIG. That is, the substrate body 301 of the LED substrate 300 has a curved surface with a large curvature of a cross section cut along a cutting line parallel to the left-right direction and a small curvature of a cross section cut along a cutting line parallel to the front-rear direction.

  As shown in FIG. 17(A), a short-side direction X1 and a long-side direction X2 are defined for the LED 302. In the LED 302, the lateral direction X1 matches the direction in which the substrate body 301 has a large curvature (FIG. 17B), and the longitudinal direction Y1 matches the direction in which the substrate body 301 has a small curvature (FIG. A)) is arranged. With such an arrangement of the LEDs 302, it is possible to suppress cracks generated in the solder that fixes the LEDs 302, as in the above embodiment.

  In addition, as shown in FIG. 17A, a lateral direction X2 and a longitudinal direction Y2 are defined in the connector 303. The connector 303 has a dimension in the lateral direction and a dimension in the longitudinal direction both larger than the respective dimensions of the LED 302. In the connector 303, the lateral direction X2 is aligned with the direction in which the substrate body 301 has a large curvature (FIG. 17B), and the longitudinal direction Y2 is aligned with the direction in which the substrate body 301 has a small curvature (FIG. 17B). (A)) It is arranged. As a result, cracks that occur in the solder that fixes the connector 303 can be suppressed. Further, as shown in the cross-sectional view of FIG. 17B, the connector 303 is soldered to the low-curvature section 312 having a small curvature and not to the high-curvature section 311. As mentioned above, the various dimensions of the connector 303 are larger than the dimensions of the LED 302. Therefore, in order to make the gap between the connector 303 and the substrate body 301 smaller, it is soldered to a portion having a small curvature. This does not preclude the LED 302 from being soldered to the low curvature section 312. That is, the smaller the electronic component, the more the soldering to the portion having the larger curvature is allowed. On the other hand, the larger the electronic component, the more limited the soldered portion is to the portion having a smaller curvature.

  Although the LED and the connector are described as an example of the electronic component to be soldered to the substrate, the present invention is also applied to the case of soldering a transistor, a resistor, a diode, a capacitor or the like as another electronic component. be able to.

(Modification 9)
Further, in the above-mentioned LED board, since the direction with a large curvature and the direction with a small curvature coincide between the mounting positions of the plurality of electronic components, each electronic component also has its longitudinal direction regularly aligned with the front-rear direction. Had been soldered. However, the present invention can be applied to a substrate in which the substrate body is twisted and curved in various directions. Also in this case, at the mounting position of the electronic component, the electronic component may be soldered so that the longitudinal direction coincides with the direction of large curvature and the lateral direction coincides with the direction of small curvature.

(Modification 10)
As shown in FIG. 18(B), in the curved LED substrate 300, the wiring 330 on the surface on the side of the bent portion 301a and the wiring 340 on the surface on the side of the bent portion 301b have different modes. May be. Here, the bent portion 301a means a portion where a tensile force acts on the neutral axis as a boundary when the substrate body 301 is bent, and the bent portion 301b causes a compressive force to act on the neutral axis as a boundary. Refers to the part. The wiring 330 on the surface of the bent portion 301a receives a tensile force when the LED substrate 300 is bent and a thermal stress when the electronic component is soldered. In order to suppress the occurrence of defects such as breakage of the wiring 330 due to these external forces, the respective cross sections of the wiring 330 arranged on the bent portion 301a side are arranged on the bent portion 301b side. It is made larger than the cross section of the wiring 340. This can prevent the solder 320 from cracking due to the disconnection of the wiring 330. On the other hand, a compressive force is mainly applied to the wiring 340 on the surface on the side of the curved portion 301b, but the compressive force hardly causes a failure such as breakage in the wiring 340. Therefore, the cross section of each of the wirings 340 arranged on the curved portion 301b side can be made smaller than the cross section of the wiring 330 on the curved portion 301a side.

  Note that the difference between the cross section of the wiring 330 and the cross section of the wiring 340 is not limited to the case where the cross section of the wiring is different in a curved state as illustrated in FIG. For example, in a flat board before bending, the cross section is changed by the expansion and contraction of the wiring, and when the board is bent after that, the wiring of the bent portion and the wiring of the bent portion have almost the same cross section. It may have any configuration. Further, the difference in wiring between the bent portion and the bent portion may be not only the size of the cross section of one wiring but also the number of wiring, the material of the wiring, and the like. For example, the cross section of each wiring may have the same size in the bent portion and the bent portion, and the number of wires in the bent portion may be larger than the number in the bent portion. Further, the wiring of the bent portion may be formed using a material that is more easily stretched than the wiring of the bent portion. In addition, when soldering the electronic components to the bent portion and the bent portion, respectively, the solder amount of the electronic components arranged in the bent portion is calculated from the solder amount of the electronic components arranged in the bent portion. You may also increase. As a result, cracks that occur in the solder can be suppressed.

(Modification 11)
Further, in the LED board provided in the gaming machine according to the present invention, by considering the function and performance of the electronic components to be mounted, it is possible to realize an appropriate arrangement of the electronic components capable of suppressing solder cracks. 19A and 19B are diagrams for explaining another example of the LED substrate, where FIG. 19A is a diagram in which electronic components are arranged without considering the curvature of the substrate body, and FIG. It is the figure which changed arrangement etc. of parts. The substrate body 401a shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B has the same shape as the substrate body 301 shown in FIG. That is, the LED substrate 400a includes a highly curved section 411 that is largely curved, and a low curved section 410 and a low curved section 412 that have a smaller curvature than the highly curved section 411. The substrate body 401a is also curved in the front-back direction, but the degree of bending is smaller than that in the low-curvature section 410 and the low-curvature section 412.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, LEDs 420a to 420g, resistors 430a to 430b, and LEDs 421a to 421c are mounted on the substrate body 401a of the LED substrate 400a. The LEDs 421a to 421c have higher brightness of emitted light and larger dimensions than the LEDs 420a to 420g. Further, the resistor 430a and the resistor 430b have the same resistance value and the same size. Here, for example, in the solder for fixing the electronic components in the low-curvature section 410 and the low-curvature section 412, it is determined that the degree of bending of the substrate body 401a is small, and thus cracks are unlikely to occur, and the solder is fixed in the high-curvature section 411. It is assumed that the solder that fixes the LEDs 420c to 420e is determined to be less likely to crack because the electronic components themselves are small in size. On the other hand, it is assumed that it is determined that cracks are likely to occur in the solder that fixes the LEDs 421b and the resistors 430a and 430b in the highly curved section 411. In this case, it is necessary to change the type and arrangement of the electronic components shown in FIG. 19A and take measures to suppress solder cracks.

  In the solder for fixing the LEDs 420a to 420g, it is not necessary to change the position or type of the electronic component because the possibility of cracking is low. However, as shown in FIG. 19B, the LED 422a may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LEDs 420a and 420b. The LED 422a thus arranged instead is selected from those that emit light of the same brightness as the combined brightness of the lights emitted from the LEDs 420a and 420b. The LED 422a is larger in size than the LEDs 420a and 420b, but is determined to be less likely to cause cracks in the solder in the low-curvature section 410. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 19B, an LED 422b may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LEDs 420f and 420g.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, four LEDs 422a can be provided instead of the LEDs 421b provided in the high-curvature section 411 where cracks are likely to occur in the solder to be fixed. These LEDs 422a are selected from LEDs that have the same brightness as the four lights combined with the brightness of the light emitted from the LED 421b alone. The size of the four LEDs 422a is smaller than the size of the LEDs 421b, and cracks are unlikely to occur in the solder to be fixed. In this way, by replacing a large-sized LED (electronic component) with a plurality of small-sized LEDs (electronic components) without reducing the brightness of light as a whole (without reducing the function), soldering can be performed. It is possible to suppress cracks that occur in the. The LED 422a having a small size is mounted around the mounting position of the substitute LED 421b. Therefore, the form of the light emitted from the four LEDs 422a and the form of the light emitted from the single LED 421b can be made the same.

  In addition, when it is determined that cracks are likely to occur in the solder that fixes the resistor 430a provided in the high-curvature section 411, the occurrence of cracks may be changed by changing the wiring or the like formed on the substrate body 401a. The resistor 430a can be moved to a position where it is difficult to perform. That is, as shown in FIG. 19B, the mounting position of the resistor 430a is changed from the high bending section 411 to the low bending section 410. This makes it possible to suppress cracks generated in the solder that fixes the resistor 430a.

  Further, unlike the resistor 430a, when it is difficult to change the mounting position, it is possible to substitute a plurality of small resistors without changing the mounting position. As shown in FIG. 19B, two small resistors 431a can be provided instead of the resistor 430b provided in the high-curvature section 411 where solder cracking is likely to occur. The two resistors 431a to be provided instead are selected from those whose combined resistance value is approximately the same as the resistance value of the resistor 430b to be substituted. The size of the resistor 431a is smaller than the size of the resistor 430b, and the possibility of cracks in the solder is low. In this way, by replacing a resistor (electronic component) having a large dimension with a plurality of resistors (electronic component) having a small dimension without changing the resistance value as a whole (without changing the function), It is possible to suppress cracks generated in the solder.

  As described above, changing a large-sized electronic component to a plurality of small-sized electronic components to suppress cracks particularly means that a curved portion is newly formed in the substrate body at the designing stage of the LED substrate. In the case where the degree of bending is to be changed or an unexpected crack occurs after manufacturing, the solder crack can be dealt with without making a large design change. As described above, not only the above-mentioned LEDs and resistors but also, for example, capacitors and connectors can be used as electronic components that can cope with solder cracks.

(A configuration in which at least a part of the above-described embodiments and the like is taken as an example)
Next, a description will be given of a configuration and a further modified example of which at least a part of the above-described embodiments and modified examples is an example. However, the following structure may be partially omitted as appropriate, or only a part thereof is adopted. A gaming machine may be configured as well. Moreover, you may combine at least one part of each structure.

(Circuit configuration of the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250)
Next, the circuit configuration of the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250 will be described. FIG. 20 is a front view showing a state in which the cover body is removed from the movable body. FIG. 21 is a detailed view showing the LED substrate 275 provided inside the movable body 250. 21A is a component mounting surface (front surface) on which various surface mounting components such as a plurality of LED elements and protective resistors are mounted, and FIG. 21B is a back surface (also referred to as a solder surface) thereof. Is.

  First, as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the shape of the LED board 275 will be described. The LED board 275 has a substantially heart shape in accordance with the shape of the movable body 250, and as described above, the cover. It can be fixed to the front of the body 271 without protruding from the cover body 271.

  In the central portion of the LED substrate 275, as described above, in order to change the distance between the drive motor 257 for deforming the decorative body 269 made of synthetic rubber covering the front surface of the movable body 250 and the character member of "LOVE". A large cutout 275B for arranging the drive motor 273 of the above is formed so as to cut the central portion of the LED board 275 substantially vertically, and is located slightly below the center corresponding to the first rack member 295. Has a horizontally long shape so as not to hinder the movement of the second character member 282.

  Therefore, in the LED substrate 275, as shown in FIG. 21, the first region on the right side of the LED substrate 275 and the second region on the left side of the LED substrate 275 are separated by the notch 275B. The second region and the second region have a special shape that is significantly narrower than the first region and the second region, and is electrically and mechanically connected by the connection region 275C formed below the notch 275B.

  Note that 275D is an insertion hole for preventing a member protruding forward from the back surface side of the LED board 275 to come into contact with the LED board 275.

  On the component mounting surface (front surface) of the LED board 275, a large number of LEDs 275A are evenly mounted over almost the entire surface so that the player can see that the entire decorative body 269 is emitting light. Turning on/off of the LED 275A is controlled by the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. The LED 275A is also mounted in the connection region 275C so that the lower end portion of the decorative body 269 is not darker than the other portions.

  Further, on the component mounting surface (front surface) of the LED substrate 275, not only a large number of LEDs 275A, but also a protection resistor for limiting the current supplied to the LEDs 275A, a diode, a capacitor, and the like are mounted.

  The LED driving IC 602 emits not only the large number of LEDs 275A mounted on the component mounting surface (front surface) but also each character member of “LOVE” like the LED board 283B of the third character member 283 of “V”. In order to do so, each LED board provided inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 is also connected via a connector, and the turning on/off of the LEDs mounted on each LED board is also controlled. .. Therefore, on the component mounting surface (front surface), the connector for connection with each LED board provided inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 is also notched in each of the first region and the second region. One by one is mounted so that the 275B faces the horizontally long portion.

  Further, in the first region, a motor drive IC 601 for driving the drive motors 257, 273 arranged inside the cutout 275B, and two for connecting the drive motors 257, 273 and the LED board 275 are provided. The connector CN is mounted.

  The motor driving IC 601 mounted in the first area and the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area receive the serial control signal including the operation instruction output from the effect control board 12 to generate the LED 275A. Etc. are turned on/off, and the drive motors 257, 273 are controlled to be rotated/stopped.

  Further, on the back surface (solder surface) of the connection region 275C, a connector 603 having 13 connection terminals for connecting the LED board 275 and the board 253 is mounted. In this way, the connector 603 is mounted on the back surface because the connector 603 is mounted on the surface facing the substrate 253 arranged on the rear side of the movable body 250 to reduce the length of wiring and as described above. In addition, since the LED 275A is mounted on the component mounting surface (front surface) of the connection region 275C, the connector 603 cannot be mounted.

  The connector 603 facilitates the assembly of the movable body 250, and in order to prevent the movable body 250 from coming off during the assembly, the mounting element mounted on the end of the connection electric wire can be inserted/removed from the lower side of the LED board 275. It is supposed to be.

  By thus connecting to the board 253 by the connector 603, the serial control signal output from the effect control board 12 is transmitted to the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 via the board 253 and the connector 603. It is transmitted through the wiring on 275.

  Here, a mode of allocating signals to each connection terminal in the connector 603 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. 22. FIG. 22 is a diagram showing a modified signal allocation form used in this embodiment, and FIG. 23 is a diagram showing a pre-improved signal allocation form.

  22 and 23, the left side of the drawing is the mounting portion of the first terminal of the connector, and the right side of the drawing is the mounting portion of the 13th (12th in FIG. 23) terminal of the connector. The numbers correspond to "1" to "13" ("12" in Fig. 23) of the connectors in the circuit diagrams of Fig. 22(B) and Fig. 23(B).

  As shown in FIG. 23(B), in order to assign signals to the terminals of these connectors, in the circuit diagram, a control circuit such as an LED that normally has a large number is given priority over a control circuit such as a drive motor. , And assigning the signals transmitted to the control circuits such as LEDs to the upper (low-numbered) terminals, it is possible to create a circuit diagram in which the signal lines from the connector to each control circuit do not intersect, and there are multiple control signals. In some cases, it is common to combine the control signals in a higher order without interposing other signals, and assign the other power terminals to the lower numbered terminals. When implemented, it looks like there is no problem on the wiring diagram.

  However, when the board is actually manufactured, as shown in FIG. 23A, the connector 603 is mounted on the back surface of the connection area 275C, and thus is transmitted to the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. The terminals of the pattern wirings L2, L3 (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) for the LED driving serial signal are assigned to the “2” and “3” terminals located on the side opposite to the second area, and further. The terminals of the pattern lines L5, L6 (S1TXD, S1SCK) for the motor driving serial signal transmitted to the motor driving IC 601 mounted in the first area are also assigned to the LED driving serial signal pattern lines L2, L3. Since it is assigned to the terminals “5” and “6”, which are farther from the assigned terminals “2” and “3”, the length of the wiring pattern on the LED substrate 275 becomes longer. Therefore, in order to prevent interference between the pattern wirings L2 and L3 of the LED driving serial signal and the pattern wirings L5 and L6 of the motor driving serial signal, the pattern drawing direction is set to each serial direction. The pattern becomes complicated, for example, the direction is different for each signal. That is, the number of redundant signal pattern wirings increases, and there is also a fear that a malfunction may occur due to noise or the like generated by these redundant signal pattern wirings.

  Therefore, as a characteristic of the improved signal allocation form, as shown in FIG. 22A, the pattern wiring L2 of the motor driving serial signal transmitted to the motor driving IC 601 mounted in the first area is provided. , L3 (S1TXD, S1SCK) are assigned to terminals “2” and “3” close to the first area and are transmitted to the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. That is, the two terminals of the pattern wirings L11, L12 (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) for the LED driving serial signal are assigned to the “11” and “12” terminals near the second area. The "1" number closest to the first area and the "13" number closest to the second area are connected to the "4" terminal and the "11" terminal adjacent to the "3" terminal. The reason why "GND" is given together with the adjacent "10" terminal is to reduce the adverse effect of noise on the motor driving serial signal pattern wirings L2 and L3 and the LED driving serial signal pattern wirings L11 and L12. However, when the adverse effect due to noise is low, for example, the two terminals of the pattern wirings L2 and L3 for the motor driving serial signal are assigned to the “1” and “2” terminals, and the LED driving serial signal is assigned. The two terminals may be assigned to the terminals “12” and “13”.

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminals between the motor driving serial signal terminal and the LED driving serial signal terminal are assigned to various power terminals, so that the motor driving serial signal and the LED driving serial signal can be obtained. It is possible to prevent signals from being separated from each other by various power terminals so that the motor driving serial signal and the LED driving serial signal are interfered with each other.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22(B), a VCC (DC5V generated by the power supply IC) for operating the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 is provided at terminals "5" and "9". ) Is allocated, and VDL (DC12V generated by the power supply IC) is provided at the “6” and “7” terminals inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 at the “8” terminal. VSL (DC power obtained by rectifying and smoothing AC24V) supplied to the LEDs mounted on each LED board is allocated.

  It should be noted that the “No. 5” terminal near the first area of the connector 603, that is, the “No. 5” terminal on the first area side of the connector 603 is the operating power for the motor driving IC 601 mounted in the first area. The “9” terminal, which is connected to the power supply pattern wiring for supplying the VCC and is close to the second area of the connector 603, supplies the operating power VCC to the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second area. It is connected to the power supply pattern wiring for supply, and by doing so, redundant pattern wiring is also reduced in the power supply pattern wiring.

  In this embodiment, although the LED substrate 275 is a multi-layer substrate, it has a wiring pattern for signals for transmitting a motor driving serial signal and an LED driving serial signal, a “5” terminal, and a “9”. Although the number of terminals and the like are connected and the wiring pattern for power supply to which power such as VCC is supplied is formed in the same layer, the present invention is not limited to this. By using a multilayer board in which the wiring pattern for signals and the wiring pattern for power supply are formed in different layers, it is possible to reduce adverse effects such as noise from the wiring pattern for power supply on the wiring pattern for signals. You may do so.

  Further, in this embodiment, the form in which the specific electronic component mounted in the connection region 275C is used as a connector is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these specific electronic components may include a plurality of components. As long as it has a terminal, for example, an integrated circuit (IC) having a plurality of terminals at different positions, for example, a motor drive serial signal (S1TXD, S1SCK) or an LED drive serial signal (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) is transmitted. It may be an IC device for serial signals that can be (output).

  Further, in this embodiment, the “2” and “3” terminals to which the motor driving serial signals (S1TXD, S1SCK) are assigned and the LED driving serial signals (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) are assigned. By assigning the "4" and "10" terminals located between the allocated "11" and "12" terminals to GND, the influence of noise etc. is further reduced. The invention is not limited to this, and GND may not be assigned to a terminal between the terminal to which the motor driving serial signal is assigned and the terminal to which the LED driving serial signal is assigned. ..

  Further, in this embodiment, the terminal between the terminal to which the motor driving serial signal is assigned and the terminal to which the LED driving serial signal is assigned is used as a power source terminal such as VCC to drive the motor. The mode in which the influence of noise or the like is further reduced by separating the serial signal for driving and the serial signal for driving the LED is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these serial signals for driving the motor are assigned. The terminal between the assigned terminal and the terminal to which the LED driving serial signal is assigned may not be the power terminal.

(Modification 12)
Here, a twelfth modified example of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is a diagram showing a circuit configuration as a modified example 12 of the invention.

(Substrate noise countermeasure 1)
For example, in the above-described rendering device 200 or the like, electronic components in which noise, static electricity, or the like is mounted or connected to the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250 (for example, motor driving IC 601, drive motors 257, 273, LED driving IC 602, LED 275A). ), there is a fear that electronic components may malfunction.

  Therefore, as a measure against noise, for example, by not performing plating (or metal vapor deposition) on the boss 844C in the first effect body 800 described in FIGS. From the front to the front LED 810 near the boss 844C, the front LED 810 and the LED driving IC connected to the front LED 810 are prevented from being destroyed by the discharge. For example, in FIG. When mounting an electronic component such as the front LED 810 (angle LED) at a position close to the boss 844C as in the present modification 12 shown, the outer peripheral ground X is formed along the outer periphery of the substrate, and the periphery of the electronic component is surrounded. A solid land electrode Y having a relatively large area is provided so as to surround it, and electronic components are mounted inside these solid land electrodes Y. The peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are connected to one connection point on the substrate 801. For example, by electrically connecting at one terminal of the board-side connector KCN, even if discharge occurs from the boss 844C, mounted components such as the front LED 810 and the LED driving IC may be destroyed or malfunction. You may make it prevent from being lost.

  In the twelfth modified example, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected to each other at one terminal of the board-side connector KCN to electrically connect the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y. Although the wiring on the mounting board can be reduced, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y may be electrically connected at one connection point on the board different from the board side connector KCN. The outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected to each other on a connection destination other substrate connected via the substrate side connector KCN, or the peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y have a sufficient area or the like. When the influence of the noise signal is low, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are not electrically connected to each other, so that the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected. The wiring on the substrate may be reduced.

  In addition, the above-described modification 12 may be carried out together with a measure in which the boss 844C is not subjected to plating treatment (or metal vapor deposition) as described above. That is, both of the above-mentioned countermeasures by the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y and the countermeasures not performing the plating treatment (or the metal vapor deposition) on the boss 844C may be implemented, or only one of them is implemented. Good.

  When the shape of the substrate 801 can be changed, for example, the boss 844C and the substrate 801 are formed such that the distance between the boss 844C and the substrate 801 is separated by a sufficient distance (specific distance) at which discharge is unlikely to occur. And may be separated by a specific distance.

  When the boss 844C is plated (or metal evaporated), an electrically insulating member is interposed between the plated boss 844C (or metal evaporated) and the substrate 801. The discharge from the boss 844C to the substrate 801 may be prevented.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the modified example 12 of the present invention, at least a part of the bosses 844A to 844E of the decorative member 803 as the conductive member having conductivity, and the electronic component (for example, the front LED 810). ˜812, 813, etc.) is mounted on the substrate 801, and the bosses 844A to 844E are arranged so as to be adjacent to the outer periphery of the substrate 801, and the substrate 801 is close to the electronic components to be mounted. It has a solid ground electrode Y as a first ground region formed at a position and an outer peripheral ground X as a second ground region formed between the solid ground electrode Y and the end of the substrate 801. By doing so, it is possible to reduce malfunctions of the electronic components mounted on the substrate 801.

  The outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected only at one connection point on the substrate 801 (for example, one terminal of the substrate side connector KCN on the substrate 801). By doing so, the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are electrically connected to each other, whereby the malfunction of the electronic component can be further reduced, and the substrate for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y is obtained. Wiring in 801 can also be reduced.

  Further, a board-side connector KCN for electrically connecting the board 801 and another board (for example, the production control board 12) is mounted on the board 801, and the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are Electrical connection is made on the other substrate. By electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y in this manner, malfunction of the electronic component can be further reduced, and wiring on the substrate 801 for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y can be achieved. It can be lost.

  Further, a board-side connector KCN for electrically connecting the board 801 and another board (for example, the production control board 12) is mounted on the board 801, and the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y are Electrical connection is made at the board-side connector. By electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y in this manner, malfunction of the electronic component can be further reduced, and wiring on the substrate 801 for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the solid ground electrode Y can be achieved. It can be lost.

  Further, since the front LED 810 (angle LED) is mounted inside the solid land electrode Y, malfunction of the front LED 810 (angle LED) can be further reduced.

  Further, by providing an insulating member between the substrate 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E, it is possible to further reduce the malfunction of the electronic component.

  Further, by providing the substrate 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E at a specific distance from each other, it is possible to further reduce the malfunction of the electronic component.

  In addition, in this modification 12, an example of measures against noise of the substrate 801 in the first effect body 800 has been described. When a plated base body 255 or the like is disposed on the LED substrate 275, the LED substrate 275 includes a first ground region formed at a position close to the electronic component to be mounted, the first ground region and the mounting substrate. And a second ground region formed between the first ground region and the second ground region.

  In particular, a conductive member is provided so as to be adjacent to the outer periphery of the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250 on which the connector 603, which is an example of an electronic component to which wiring from control means such as the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 is connected, is mounted. In the case where a base body 255 having a surface plated, for example, is arranged, the LED substrate 275 has a first ground region formed at a position near the connector 603, the first ground region and the LED. By having the second ground region formed between the end portion of the substrate 275 and the end portion of the substrate 275, noise influences the control by the control means such as the motor driving IC 601 and the LED driving IC 602 connected to the connector 603. Can be suppressed.

(Structure of the first effect body 800, etc.)
Next, a detailed structure of the first effect body 800 will be described based on FIGS. 25 to 34. FIG. 25: (A) is a front view which shows a 1st production body, (B) is a rear view. FIG. 26 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the first effect body is seen obliquely from the front. FIG. 27 is an exploded perspective view showing a state in which the first effect body is viewed obliquely from behind. FIG. 28 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. FIG. 29 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 25 to 27, the first effect body 800 includes a substrate 801 having a plurality of electronic components and wiring patterns formed on front and rear surfaces thereof, and translucency arranged so as to cover the front surface of the substrate 801. A front lens member 802 made of a member, a decorative member 803 made of a non-translucent member arranged so as to cover the front surface of the front lens member 802, and a translucent member arranged so as to cover the back surface of the substrate 801. And a rear lens member 804 made of a member, and is formed in a band shape along the lower left edge of the opening formed in the face plate when viewed from the front.

  On the front surface 801F of the substrate 801, a plurality of electronic components including a plurality of front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 which are light emitting diodes (light emitting elements) are mounted. The front LEDs 810 to 812 are angle LEDs that can emit light along a front surface 801F in a predetermined direction, and the front LEDs 813 are LEDs that can emit light to the front. In addition to the light emitting diode (light emitting element), the front surface 801F receives a serial control signal including an operation instruction output from the effect control board 12 to control the turning on/off of each LED and the like. It also includes a control unit such as an LED driving IC.

  On the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, a plurality of electronic components including a plurality of rear LEDs 820 to 822, which are light emitting diodes (light emitting elements), are mounted. The rear LEDs 820 and 821 are angle LEDs that can emit light along the rear surface 801B toward the right side of the substrate 801, and the rear LED 822 extends along the rear surface 801B toward the left side of the substrate 801. It is an angle LED that can emit light. In addition, a board-side connector KCN for connecting a plurality of electronic components including front LEDs 810-812 and rear LEDs 820-822 mounted on the front surface 801F and the back surface 801B to the production control board 12 is provided on the upper surface of the back surface 801B. Has been.

  Further, notch portions 824A to 824E for avoiding interference with later-described bosses 844A to 844E and fitting portions 870A to 870E are formed at predetermined positions on the edge of the substrate 801. Various electronic components mounted on the front surface 801F and the rear surface 801B of the board 801 are mainly connected to the production control board 12 and are electronic components controlled by the production control CPU 120.

  The front lens member 802 is formed of a plate-shaped synthetic resin material having a size capable of covering the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. On the front surface of the front lens member 802, first light emitting portions 830 to 832 are formed at positions corresponding to the plurality of front LEDs 810 to 812, respectively, and a substantially circular shape in a front view formed at positions corresponding to the front LEDs 813. The second light emitting portion 833 and the second light emitting portion 833 are formed so as to project forward. The first light emitting portions 830-832 and the second light emitting portion 833 are formed so as to project forward so that a recess is formed on the back surface. In addition, a plurality of insertion holes 834A to 834E into which bosses 844A to 844E described later are inserted are formed near the edge portion.

  The decoration member 803 is formed of a plate-shaped synthetic resin material having a size capable of covering the front surface of the front lens member 802. Openings 840 to 843 into which the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 can be inserted are formed at positions corresponding to the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833, respectively. The first light emitting portions 830-832 and the second light emitting portion 833 can be made to face forward through the openings 840 to 843.

  Cylindrical bosses 844A to 844E as projecting portions capable of inserting the insertion holes 834A to 834E of the front lens member 802 are formed at a plurality of positions in the vicinity of the edge on the back surface of the decoration member 803 so as to protrude rearward. Has been done.

  The decorative member 803 is made of a non-conductive synthetic resin material. As shown in FIGS. 28 to 30 and 32, the surface of the bosses 844A to 844E except for the front surface and the back surface are subjected to a plating treatment (metallized surface treatment) to form a conductive portion 850 (for example, as shown in FIG. 32), the surface regions of the bosses 844A to 844E are not subjected to the plating treatment (metallized surface treatment) on the non-conductive portion 851 (for example, in the thick line in FIG. 32). (Not shown) is formed.

  The rear lens member 804 is formed of a plate-shaped synthetic resin material having a size capable of covering the back surface B of the substrate 801. An LED opening 860 that opens the rear LED 820 to the rear side is formed at a position corresponding to the rear LED 820 on the rear lens member 804, and the rear LED 821 is arranged at the rear side at a position corresponding to the rear LED 821. An LED opening 861 for opening is formed, and an LED opening 862 for opening the rear LED 822 to the back side is formed at a position corresponding to the rear LED 822.

  The opening 860A is an opening in which the one LED opening 860 and the LED opening 862 are integrated. A molding opening 865 is formed on the right side of each LED opening 860.

  On the left and right sides of the rear lens member 804, a plurality of concave and convex portions are formed along each side, and the light guided inside the rear lens member 804 can be diffused and emitted to the outside. Diffusion parts 867L and 867R are formed. In addition, the bosses 844A to 844E can be fitted at positions corresponding to the bosses 844A to 844E on the front surface of the rear lens member 804, and the fitting portions 870A to 870A to which the mounting holes 871 of the screws N1 are formed respectively. 870E is formed. A mounting portion 866 of the vibration detection sensor MG is formed below the rear lens member 804.

  As shown in FIG. 26 and FIG. 27, the first effect body 800 configured as described above has the front lens member 802 and the decorative member 803 arranged on the front side of the substrate 801, and the rear lens on the back side of the substrate 801. With the member 804 arranged, the bosses 844A to 844E of the decorative member 803 are inserted into the insertion holes 834A to 834E, and the inserted bosses 844A to 844E are fitted into the fitting portions 870A to 870E of the rear lens member 804, respectively. After the combination, the screw N1 attached to the attachment hole 871 from the rear surface side of the rear lens member 804 is screwed into the screw holes formed at the tips of the bosses 844A to 844E, so that the substrate 801 and the front lens member 802 and the decoration are attached. The member 803 and the rear lens member 804 are integrated to form the first effect body 800.

  As shown in FIGS. 28 to 30, when the substrate 801, the front lens member 802, the decorative member 803, and the rear lens member 804 are integrated, the front lens member 802 is separated from the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 by a distance. The rear lens member 804 is arranged apart from the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 by a distance L2 shorter than the distance L1 (L1>L2).

  Specifically, the front LED 813 capable of emitting light forward is mounted on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801, so that when the front lens member 802 is too close to the front LED 813, the light from the front LED 813 spreads to the surroundings. The light is emitted locally through the front lens member 802. In order to avoid this, it is preferable to dispose the front LED 813 and the front lens member 802 at a distance at least longer than the protruding length of the front LED 813 from the front surface 801F.

  On the other hand, on the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, no LED capable of emitting backward is mounted. Further, the LED openings 860 to 862 are formed at the positions corresponding to the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the rear lens member 804, respectively, so that the rear lens member 804 interferes with the rear LEDs 820 to 822. Instead, it can be brought close to the substrate 801 side (see FIG. 29).

  Further, by disposing the decoration member 803 on the front surface of the front lens member 802, the areas other than the first light emitting portions 830 to 832 and the second light emitting portion 833 of the front lens member 802 are covered, and thus the first light emission is performed. Only the parts 830 to 832 and the second light emitting part 833 are conspicuous.

(Light emitting structure on the front side of the first effect body)
Next, the light emitting structure on the front surface side of the first effect body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. FIG. 28 is a sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. FIG. 29 is a sectional view taken along line BB of FIG.

  The structures of the first light emitting units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting units 833 are substantially the same in light emitting principle except for the shapes of members, and therefore, in FIG. 28, only the first light emitting unit 831 is illustrated. However, the description of the first light emitting units 830 and 832 will be omitted. Further, in FIG. 29, only one second light emitting portion 833 of the plurality of second light emitting portions 833 will be described, and description of the other second light emitting portions 833 will be omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 28, the front LED 811 is arranged behind the first light emitting unit 831 and slightly to the left. The front LED 811 emits light mainly from the left side to the right side along the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 on the back side of the first light emitting unit 831. Since they are arranged at a distance L3, that is, close to each other, part of the light is incident on the front lens member 802. Then, the light that has entered the front lens member 802 is guided while being totally reflected inside the front lens member 802, and from the front surface of the first light emitting unit 831 that protrudes so as to face the front through the opening 841. It is emitted to the front. As a result, the first light emitting unit 831 emits light. The front surface of the first light emitting portion 831 of the front lens member 802 is formed in a concavo-convex shape, so that the light inside the front lens member 802 is diffused and emitted forward.

  The first light emitting portion 831 of the front lens member 802 is formed so as to project forward from the plate-shaped portion, and is inserted into the tubular opening 841 of the decorative member 803. Since the inner peripheral surface of the opening 841 is the conductive portion 850 that is plated, the light guided from the plate-shaped portion to the first light emitting portion 831 side is totally reflected by the conductive portion 850. Since it is difficult for the light to be emitted from one side, the light inside the front lens member 802 is likely to be emitted to the front.

  As shown in FIG. 29, the front LED 813 is a top-type LED that is arranged so as to be able to emit light from the rear position of the second light emitting unit 833 toward the front (direction orthogonal to the front surface 801F of the substrate 801). Since the front lens member 802 is separated from the back surface of the second light emitting section 833 by the maximum distance L4, most of the light is incident on the back surface of the second light emitting section 833. Then, the light that has entered the front lens member 802 is emitted forward from the front surface of the second light emitting unit 833 that projects so as to face the front through the opening 843. As a result, the second light emitting unit 833 emits light. Since the front surface of the second light emitting portion 833 of the front lens member 802 is formed in a dome shape, the light inside the front lens member 802 is emitted forward so as to spread to the surroundings.

  As shown in FIGS. 28 and 29, comparing the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833, the distance L3 (see FIG. 28) from the front LED 811 to the back surface of the first light emitting unit 831 is It is shorter than the distance L4 to the back surface of the second light emitting unit 833 (see FIG. 29) (L3<L4).

  In the first light emitting portion 831 where the distance L3 from the light emitting body to the light emitting portion is short, the front side LED 811 is arranged as an angle LED at a position that does not correspond to the first light emitting portion 831, and is a portion different from the first light emitting portion 831. While the first light emitting portion 831 is indirectly caused to emit light by the light from the first light emitting portion 831, in the second light emitting portion 833 in which the distance L4 from the light emitting body to the light emitting portion is longer than the distance L3, the front LED 813 is set as the angle LED. Instead, it is arranged at a position corresponding to the second light emitting unit 833, and light is directly incident on the second light emitting unit 833 to directly cause the second light emitting unit 833 to emit light.

  That is, the first light emitting unit 831 has a structure that emits light in the direction (front) orthogonal to the irradiation direction (left direction) of the light from the front LED 811, whereas the second light emitting unit 833 has the front LED 813. Since the structure emits light in the same direction (front) as the direction of irradiation of light from the front (front), the first light emitting portion 831 and the second light emitting portion 833 provided on the front surface of the decorative member 803 have different light emitting modes. Can be made to emit light. Further, it is possible to provide the first light emitting portion 831 and the second light emitting portion 833, which have different projecting lengths from the front surface 801F of the substrate 801, on the front surface of the decorative member 803.

(Light emitting structure on the back side of the first effect body)
Next, the light emitting structure on the back surface side of the first effect body 800 will be described based on FIGS. 30 to 32. FIG. 30 is a sectional view taken along line CC of FIG. FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 32A is a rear view showing the light emitting mode of the first effect body, FIG. 32B is a front view showing the positional relationship between the first effect body and the second effect body, and FIG. 32C is the first effect body. It is a schematic plan view showing a positional relationship between the second effect body and.

  As shown in FIG. 30, each rear LED 820 is housed one by one in each LED opening 860 formed in the rear lens member 804, and from the left side to the right side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. It is arranged to irradiate light. In addition, on the LED opening 860 side on the peripheral surface of the molding opening 865, an inclined surface portion 825 that is gradually inclined rearward toward the right side is formed.

  Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 820 is incident inside from the wall surface on the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 860 on the molding opening 865 side, and the light incident inside is directed rearward by the inclined surface portion 825. The light is reflected by the rear lens member 804 and is emitted rearward between the molding opening 865 and the LED opening 860 on the back surface of the rear lens member 804.

  As shown in FIG. 31, each rear LED 821 is housed one by one in each LED opening 861 formed in the rear lens member 804, and from the left side to the right side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. It is arranged to irradiate light. Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 821 enters the inside from the wall surface on the right side of the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 861, and the light incident inside directs the inside of the rear lens member 804 toward the right side. The light is guided while being totally reflected, and then emitted from the light diffusing unit 867R.

  Further, although not particularly shown, each rear LED 822 is housed one by one in each LED opening 862 formed in the rear lens member 804, and from the right side to the left side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. It is arranged to irradiate light. Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 821 is incident on the inside from the left wall surface of the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 862, and the light incident on the inside directs the inside of the rear lens member 804 toward the left side. The light is guided while being totally reflected, and then emitted from the light diffusion portion 867L.

  As shown in FIG. 32(A), a plurality of rear LEDs 820 are vertically arranged at the substantially central positions of the left and right sides of the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, and a plurality of rear LEDs 820 are provided near the right side of the back surface 801B. The rear LEDs 821 are arranged vertically, and a plurality of rear LEDs 822 are arranged vertically in the vicinity of the left side of the back surface 801B.

  Then, when the rear LED 820 emits light, the inclined surface portion 825 between each LED opening 860 and the molding opening 865 in the rear lens member 804 emits light, and when the rear LED 821 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867R emits light. When the rear LED 822 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867L emits light. Since the inclined surface portion 825 and the light diffusing portions 867L and 867R can emit light toward the front and rear surfaces and laterally along the substrate 801, they are not only moved to the front and rear surfaces but also to the effect position side. The two effect bodies 900 can be illuminated appropriately (see FIG. 32(C)).

  As shown in FIGS. 32B and 32C, in the present embodiment, second effect body 900 is provided on the back side of first effect body 800. In detail, the second effect body 900 is positioned by an unillustrated drive source so as to be superimposed on the back side of the first effect body 800 when viewed from the front, and an effect position diagonally to the upper right of the origin position. It is provided so as to be movable (movable) between the two. In addition, as shown in FIG. 32C, the second effect body 900 is arranged at a position a predetermined distance away from the first effect body 800 at the origin position, and when the second effect object 900 moves to the effect position, the first effect object 900 is moved to the first effect position. The effect body 800 can be moved in a direction along the substrate 801.

  Therefore, when the second effect body 900 on the back surface side of the first effect object 800 is at the origin position, the rear LEDs 820 to 822 provided on the back surface side of the first effect object 800 emit light to generate the second effect object. The front side of the body 900 can be suitably illuminated. Even when the second effect body 900 moves to the effect position diagonally above and to the right of the origin position, the light from the light diffusing unit 867R can be suitably illuminated.

  Further, for example, when the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are arranged such that light can be emitted to the rear side in a direction orthogonal to the rear surface 801B of the substrate 801, the rear lens member 804 covers the rear surface 801B of the substrate 801. In this case, it is necessary to dispose the rear lens member 804 at a position distant from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 to the rear side, and the front-rear dimension of the second effect body 900 increases by that amount, but as in the present embodiment. By arranging the rear LEDs 820 to 822 as angle LEDs so as to be capable of irradiating in the direction along the back surface 801B, and reflecting the light backward by the inclined surface portion 825 of the rear lens member 804 arranged close to the substrate 801. While the front and rear dimensions of the second effect body 900 are short, the second effect body 900 on the back side can be illuminated appropriately.

(Countermeasures against board noise 2)
Next, the antistatic structure of the first effect body 800 will be described based on FIGS. 33 to 35. FIG. 33: (A) is a principal part front view which shows the state which looked at the 1st production body through the game board, (B) is a figure which shows the principal part of a board|substrate. 34 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE of FIG. FIG. 35A is a diagram showing an antistatic structure as Modification 13 of the present invention.

  As shown in FIG. 33(A) and FIG. 34, a plurality of obstacle nails K made of metal are provided on the front surface of the board face plate 2A that constitutes the game board 2. Each obstacle nail K is erected so as to project forward while being inclined in a predetermined direction with respect to the game board surface by being press-fitted into a through hole 2d formed so as to penetrate the board surface plate 2A in the front-rear direction. ..

  As shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 33(A) and FIG. 34, the first effect body 800 is on the left side of the game area 10, specifically, on the lower left side of the opening 2c formed in the face plate 2A of the game board 2. At the position, it is provided so as to be close to the back surface of the board 2A. Therefore, there is a possibility that the static electricity generated due to some factor and charged in the game ball is discharged to the first effect body 800 on the back side of the board 2A through the through hole 2d.

  The static electricity is provided on the game board surface of the board surface plate 2A, for example, the game ball flowing down the game area 10 is the obstacle nail K, the board surface plate 2A made of an acrylic resin material, the acrylic resin plate provided in place of the glass window 50a. Contact with an obstacle or an accessory made of a synthetic resin material, that is, the ball is charged when it flows down in the pachinko gaming machine 1, or the gaming ball is outside the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example. It is conceivable that, for example, a charged game ball enters the pachinko gaming machine 1 while circulating in a game island or the like. Further, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, or the movable device other than the game ball, such as an operable accessory such as the rendering device 200 or the second rendering member 900, is charged by friction or the like. It is also possible.

  Here, when the plating process is performed over the entire front and back surfaces including the peripheral surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E in the decorative member 803 of the first effect body 800, and the front and back surfaces are conductive portions, the discharged electricity is It is conceivable that the decorative member 803 also wraps around from the front surface side to the back surface side (back surface side) and further wraps around the peripheral surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E.

  Then, as shown in FIGS. 33B and 34, the bosses 844A to 844E project to the back surface side of the substrate 801, and are located on the sides of the cutouts 824A to 824E formed in the substrate 801, Electricity sneaking from the front surface side to the back surface side of the decorative member 803 may be discharged to the substrate 801 side via the bosses 844A to 844E.

  As shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 34, the periphery of the bosses 844A to 844E is covered with the front lens member 802 and the rear lens member 804, which are non-conductive members, but the rear surface of the front lens member 802 is not covered. If there is a slight gap (not shown) between the peripheries of the insertion holes 834A to 834E and the fitting portions 870A to 870E of the rear lens member 804, electric discharge will occur from the gap to the substrate 801 side.

  When the board 801 is discharged in this manner, electricity flows through the wiring pattern formed on the front surface 800F of the board 801, and the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 mounted on the front surface 800F and the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 emit light. A defect (for example, light emission failure, color development abnormality, light emission control abnormality, etc.) occurs in the LED driving IC for controlling and electronic parts such as (control means), and particularly, as shown in FIG. 34, the surface 800F of the substrate 801. There is a possibility that the front LED 810 disposed in the vicinity of the boss 844C may be directly discharged to cause a malfunction in the front LED 810.

  Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, the bosses 844A to 844E projecting toward the substrate 801 side have the non-conductive portion 851 which is not subjected to the plating treatment on the surface thereof. Electricity sneaking into the back surface of the member 804 is less likely to be discharged to the board 801 side through the bosses 844A to 844E projecting to the board 801 side, which may cause problems with various electronic components mounted on the surface 800F. It can be suppressed appropriately.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, electronic components (for example, front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813, rear LEDs 820 to 822, connector KCN, conversion IC, etc.) are mounted. A substrate 801 and a decorative member 803 arranged so as to cover a front surface 801F which is a mounting surface of the electronic component on the substrate 801, and the decorative member 803 has conductive parts 850 on front and back surfaces. , Bosses 844A to 844E as projecting portions that project toward the substrate 801 side are formed, and the bosses 844A to 844E have a non-conductive portion 851 on the substrate 801 side.

  By doing so, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of a defect in the electronic component due to the discharge from the conductive portion 850.

  Specifically, the static electricity charged on the obstacle nail K is discharged to the conductive portion 850 of the decorative member 803, so that the static electricity charged on the game ball is transferred to the conductive portion 850 of the decorative member 803 via the conductive obstacle nail K. Since it can be escaped, it can be suppressed that the game ball is charged with static electricity. In addition, in the decorative member 803, the bosses 844A to 844E project toward the substrate 801 side as compared with other parts, that is, close to the substrate 801, but the surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E are not plated. Since the non-conductive portion 851 is not formed, the electricity sneaking up to the back surface side of the decorative member 803 is preferably suppressed from discharging to the substrate 801 side through the bosses 844A to 844E.

  Further, since the front lens member 802 made of a non-conductive member is disposed between the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 and the back surface of the decoration member 803, the electricity that has circulated to the back surface side of the decoration member 803 is bossed. It is possible to suppress discharge to the front surface side of the substrate 801 without going through 844A to 844E.

  Further, the bosses 844A to 844E are inserted through the insertion holes 834A to 834E of the front lens member 802 whose front end portion side is made of a non-conductive member and are projected toward the substrate 801 side more than the front lens member 802. Since the non-conductive portion 851 is formed on the surface of the tip portion, it is possible to prevent electricity from flowing to a portion protruding toward the substrate 801 side with respect to the front lens member 802.

  The electronic component is a light emitting diode (for example, front LEDs 810 to 812, 813, etc.). By doing so, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects in light emission. In particular, since angle LEDs such as the front LEDs 810 to 812 can irradiate light to a member close to the edge of the substrate, they are often arranged closer to the peripheral edge of the substrate than the top-type LED. Therefore, even in such a case, even when the front LED 810 which is an angle LED is arranged in the vicinity of the bosses 844A to 844E, it is possible to suppress static electricity from discharging to the substrate 801 via the bosses 844A to 844E.

  The electronic component is a connector (for example, a board-side connector KCN or the like). By doing so, it is possible to suppress not only the electronic components on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 on which the connector is mounted but also the electronic components connected via the connector from being defective. Further, in particular, the connector is often arranged near the peripheral edge of the substrate so that the wiring connected to the connector does not follow the mounting surface. Therefore, even in such a case, even when the front LED 810 which is an angle LED is arranged in the vicinity of the bosses 844A to 844E, it is possible to suppress static electricity from discharging to the substrate 801 via the bosses 844A to 844E.

  Further, on the board 801, a control unit (for example, a conversion IC) that controls other electronic components including the electronic component is mounted. By doing so, not only the electronic components mounted on the substrate 801 but also other electronic components mounted on another substrate connected to the substrate 801, for example, a problem occurs in control of other electronic components. It is possible to prevent the components from being adversely affected.

  Further, a front lens member 802 as a non-conductive member is provided between the decorative member 803 and the substrate 801, and the front lens member 802 can guide light from the front LEDs 810 to 812, 813 provided on the substrate 801. It is a light guide member (translucent member).

  By doing so, discharge from the decorative member 803 to the substrate 801 can be suppressed by using the front lens member 802, which is a light guide member capable of guiding the light from the front LEDs 810 to 812, 813.

  In addition, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the electronic component, the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813, the rear LEDs 820 to 822, the board connector KCN, the conversion IC, and the like are applied, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, it includes various detection means such as sensors, drive sources such as motors and solenoids, storage means such as ROM and RAM, protective resistors, various electronic components other than the above, such as diodes and capacitors.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the electronic parts, such as front LED810-812,813, rear LED820-822, board|substrate side connector KCN, were illustrated in the form connected to the production|generation control board 12, this invention is this. The present invention is not limited to this, and may be connected to a board other than the production control board 12 (for example, the main board 11 or the like) or a control unit (for example, the CPU 103 or the like).

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which the conductive portion 850 is formed by performing the plating treatment on the surface (front and rear surfaces) of the decorative member 803 is exemplified, but the present invention is not limited to this. For example, the conductive member may be formed on the surface by forming the decorative member 803 with a synthetic resin material having conductivity by mixing carbon fiber or the like.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, bosses 844A to 844E into which the screw N1 for integrating the decorative member 803 and the rear lens member 804 that covers the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is screwed are applied as the protrusions. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the member is integrated as described above as long as it is a portion protruding from the decorative member 803 toward the substrate 801 side than other portions. A protrusion other than the boss into which the screw is screwed (for example, a positioning boss for determining the mounting position of the substrate 801 or another member with respect to the decorative member 803) may be applied.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the bosses 844A to 844E serving as the protrusions have the protrusion length that passes through the side of the substrate 801 and reaches the rear surface 801B, but the present invention is not limited to this. The protrusion is not limited to this, and may be any protrusion as long as it protrudes closer to the substrate 801 than other parts of the decorative member. For example, the protrusion extends from a position corresponding to the front surface 801F of the decorative member 803 to the front surface. It may be projected so as to be close to or in contact with 801F.

  Further, in the above-described embodiment, the non-conductive portion 851 is formed on the surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E as the protrusions, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the surface of the protrusions is not limited to this. If the non-conductive part 851 is formed in at least a portion corresponding to the substrate 801, the conductive part 850 may be formed in the other region.

  Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the decorative member 803 is illustrated as being arranged in the vicinity of the back side of the face plate 2A of the game board 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the decorative member is not limited to this. May be arranged at a position other than the above.

  Further, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the form in which the decorative member 803 is arranged so as to cover the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the decorative member 803 is not limited to this. It may be arranged so as to cover the back surface 801B.

  Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the first effect body 800 having the substrate 801 provided with the light emitters (for example, the rear LEDs 820 to 822) on the back surface 801B, and the substrate 801. And a second effect body 900 operable on the back surface 801B side, and the second effect body 900 can be irradiated with light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822.

  By doing so, it is not necessary to mount the substrate 801 on which the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are mounted on the operable second effect body 900. It is possible to direct.

  The second effect body 900 is movable in a direction along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 (for example, the left-right direction), and the rear LEDs 820 to 822 emit light toward the moving direction of the second effect body 900. It is possible. Specifically, when the rear LED 821 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867R emits light, and when the rear LED 822 emits light, the light diffusion portion 867L emits light. Since the inclined surface portion 825 and the light diffusion portions 867L and 867R can emit light toward the rear side and the side along the substrate 801, the rear surface side and the origin position move to the production position side diagonally upward to the right. It is possible to illuminate appropriately the second effect body 900.

  By doing so, even when the second effect body 900 moves to the side of the first effect body 800, light can be appropriately emitted.

  In the present embodiment, the rear LED 821 causes the right light diffusion portion 867R to emit light, so that the second effect body 900 moved from the origin position to the effect position diagonally to the upper right can be appropriately illuminated. Although illustrated, the present invention is not limited to this, and although not particularly shown, the light from the rear LED 821 is moved to the right performance position without being guided by the rear lens member 804. The two effect bodies 900 may be directly illuminated.

  Further, the rear lens member 804 is provided as a light guide member that can cover at least a part of the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, and that has LED openings 860 to 862 that can accommodate the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the covered state. The rear LEDs 820 to 822 can enter light into the rear lens member 804 from the side surface (peripheral wall) of the LED openings 860 to 862 while being housed in the LED openings 860 to 862 (FIG. 30). reference).

  By doing so, the substrate 801 can be covered by using the rear lens member 804 that guides the light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822, and the rear lens member 804 should be disposed close to the substrate 801. Therefore, the thickness dimension of the first effect body 800 in the front-rear direction can be reduced.

  Therefore, for example, when making it possible to illuminate the rear side second effect body 900 with the rear LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800, the front and rear dimensions between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5 are set. Even if there is a limit, by making the thickness dimension of the first effect body 800 in the front-rear direction as thin as possible, the first effect object 800 and the second effect object 900 are moved back and forth between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5. Can be arranged to overlap.

  In the present embodiment, the LED openings 860 to 862 are formed at the positions corresponding to the rear LEDs 820 to 822 on the rear lens member 804, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, by forming a recess in the rear lens member 804 corresponding to each of the rear LEDs 820 to 822 to accommodate the rear LEDs 820 to 822, the rear lens member 804 can be brought close to the substrate 801. Good.

  In addition, an inclined surface portion 825 as a reflecting portion that reflects the incident light toward the second rendering body 900 side is provided in the rear lens member 804 in the vicinity of the LED openings 860 to 862.

  By doing so, the light emitted from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the direction along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 can be reflected to the back surface side, so that the protrusion dimension from the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is a normal LED. It is possible to appropriately illuminate the second effect body 900 on the back side while reducing the thickness dimension of the first effect body 800 in the front-rear direction by using a smaller angle LED.

  Further, the rear lens member 804 has light diffusing portions 867L and 867R as light emitting portions that emit light by the light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 that are incident inside from the LED openings 860 to 862.

  By doing so, the light emitted from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 can be made to circulate around and shine, so that the effect of production can be enhanced.

  Further, front LEDs 810 to 812, 813 different from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are provided on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 opposite to the back surface 801B.

  By doing so, the front side of the first effect body 800 can also be suitably illuminated.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the 2nd production|generation body 900 is arrange|positioned at the back side of the 1st production|generation body 800 so that the 2nd production|generation body 900 of the back side may be arrange|positioned by the back side LED820-822 of the 1st production body 800. Although the preferred lighting mode is exemplified, the present invention is not limited to this, and the second effect body 900 is operably arranged on the front side of the first effect body 800, and the front LED 810 of the first effect body 800 is provided. It may be made possible to preferably illuminate the second effect body 900 on the front surface side by ˜812 and 813.

  Further, in the embodiment, the second effect body 900 is movable in the direction along the substrate 801 between the origin position on the back side of the first effect body 800 and the effect position diagonally upper right of the origin position. However, the present invention is not limited to this, the operation mode of the second effect body 900 is arbitrary, and not only movable in the left and right direction, but also in the front and rear direction and the up and down direction. It may be movable.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, the form which illuminates the 2nd production|generation body 900 is made to reflect the light from rear LED820-822 of the 1st production|generation body 800 back by the inclined surface part 825 of the rear side lens member 804. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800 may not be angle LEDs, but may be a light emitter that can emit light toward the rear side.

  In the above-described embodiment, the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is covered with the rear lens member 804, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is the rear lens. It may not be covered by the member 804. Further, in the above embodiment, the first effect body 800 is illustrated as being fixed to a predetermined position on the back surface side of the game board 2, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the first effect. Body 800 may be operably provided.

  In addition, a first effect body 800 having a substrate 801 provided with a light emitting body (for example, rear LEDs 820 to 822) on the back surface 801B, and a second effect body 900 operable on the back surface 801B side of the board 801. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 that is provided and is capable of irradiating the second effect body 900 with the light from the rear LEDs 820 to 822, for example, the surface on the first effect body 800 side is subjected to metallization surface treatment such as plating or metal deposition. In addition, the second effect member 900 is provided with a projecting portion that projects toward the substrate 801 side of the first effect member 800, and the projecting portion passes near the periphery of the substrate 801 according to the operation of the second effect member 900. In such a case, it is preferable to form a non-conductive portion on the surface of the protruding portion. By doing so, a defect may occur in the electronic component (for example, the back surface 801B) mounted on the back surface 801B side of the substrate 801 of the first effect member 800 due to the discharge from the protruding portion of the second effect member 900. Can be suppressed.

  Further, on the substrate 801, a first ground region formed at a position close to an electronic component to be mounted (for example, the back surface 801B) and a first ground region formed between the first ground region and the peripheral portion of the substrate 801. It may have two ground areas. By doing so, when the protrusion of the second effect body 900 approaches the peripheral edge of the substrate 801 of the first effect body 800 according to the operation, the static electricity charged in the protrusion of the second effect body 900 is generated. Even when the board 801 of the first effect body 800 is discharged, it is possible to prevent a defect from occurring in the electronic component (for example, the back surface 801B) mounted on the back surface 801B side of the board 801 of the first effect body 800.

(Modification 13)
Next, a modified example 13 of the present invention will be explained based on FIG. 35A is a diagram showing a wiring connection state between the LED substrate and the performance control substrate, and FIG. 35B is a diagram showing a wiring connection state between the LED substrate and the performance control substrate as a modified example 13 of the present invention. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 35(A), for example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 in the present modification 13 includes an LED substrate 910 on which an LED 911 is mounted on one surface as a light-emitting body for effecting a hold display or decoration. The LED board 910 and the effect control board 12 are connected to each other via a wiring 912 as connectors. Further, as shown in FIG. 35B, a part of the LED substrate 910 and the wiring 912 extending from the back side of the LED substrate 910 is covered with a decorative member 913 having an opening on the back side. A conductive portion 914 is formed on the surface of the decorative member 913 by performing a plating process.

  When the periphery of part of the wiring 912 is covered with the decorative member 913 having the conductive portion 914 on the surface as described above, static electricity charged in the conductive portion 914 in the LED substrate 910 is, as described above. Since the mounting surface 910F of the LED 911 or the LED 911 may be discharged, the front surface side of the LED substrate 910 is covered with the lens member 915 made of a non-conductive member.

  In addition, since a part of the wiring 912 extending from the back surface side of the LED substrate 910 is covered with the conductive portion 914, static electricity charged in the conductive portion 914 is discharged to the wiring 912, so that the effect control board. Since the LED drive control signal output from 12 is likely to be affected by noise, the position corresponding to the conductive portion 914 in the wiring 912 is set to an electrically insulating material such as a tube made of a rubber material made of a non-conductive stopping member. Since the non-conductive member is arranged between the wiring 912 and the conductive portion 914 by being covered with 916, the LED drive control signal output from the effect control board 12 can be made less susceptible to noise. it can.

(Movable body initialization process)
Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, when the power is turned on, the effect control CPU 120 starts execution of the main process shown in FIG. 36. In the main processing, first, a first initialization processing (S50) for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing a timer for determining the activation interval (for example, 2 ms) of the effect control, and the like. Then, a second initialization process for returning the movable bodies 250 and 900 to the origin position and confirming the operation is performed (S51). After that, the CPU 120 for effect control shifts to the loop processing for monitoring the timer interrupt flag (S52). When the timer interrupt occurs, the effect control CPU 120 sets the timer interrupt flag by the timer interrupt process. If the timer interrupt flag is set (ON) in the main process, the effect control CPU 120 clears the flag (S53) and executes the following process.

  The effect control CPU 120 first performs command analysis processing (S54). In the command analysis process, which command (see FIG. 3) is the command transmitted from the main board 11 stored in the received command buffer is analyzed. The effect control command transmitted from the game control microcomputer 100 is received by the interrupt process based on the effect control INT signal and is stored in the buffer area formed in the RAM. And the process etc. which set the flag according to the received production control command are performed.

  Next, the effect control CPU 120 performs effect control process processing (S55). In the effect control process process, the process corresponding to the current control state (effect control process flag) is selected from among the processes according to the control state, and the display control of the effect display device 5 is executed.

  Next, an effect random number updating process for updating the count value of the counter for generating an effect random number such as a jackpot symbol random number is executed (S56), and then the process proceeds to S52.

  FIG. 37 is a flowchart showing the second initialization process (S51) of the present embodiment. In the second initialization process, the effect control CPU 120 first specifies the movable body to be operated first based on the setting data (S101). The setting data includes the order data of the movable bodies, and in the present embodiment, the order of the movable body 250→the second effect body 900→the third movable body (not shown) is preset as the order. There is. Therefore, when S101 is first executed, the movable body 250 is specified as the target movable body.

  Next, it is determined whether or not the movable body identified in S101 is an origin detection target accessory that requires origin detection (S102).

  In the present embodiment, the movable body 250 having the origin detection sensor and the second effect body 900 having the origin detection sensor correspond to the origin detection target accessory that needs to perform the origin detection. The third movable body (not shown) that does not have this does not apply. Therefore, when the movable body identified in S101 is the movable body 250 or the second effect body 900, it is determined as “Y” in the determination, while the movable body identified in S101 is the third movable body (not shown). ), it is determined to be “N”.

  When it is determined to be "N" in S102, the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, when it is determined to be "Y" in S102, the process proceeds to S103, the detection state of the origin detection sensor corresponding to the action target accessory is specified (S103), and it is determined whether or not the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. That is, it is determined whether or not the target movable body is located at the origin position (initial position) (S104).

  If the position is not at the origin position (initial position) (S104; N), the process proceeds to S105, where 0 is set in the non-detection operation number counter for counting the number of executions of non-detection operation control. (S105), as a control speed for operating the operation target accessory, the operation speed is the same as the minimum speed (see FIGS. 39 and 40) in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) described later. A minimum control speed for operating the accessory is set (S106), and if the drive motor of the operation accessory, for example, the operation accessory is the movable body 250, the drive motor starts to be driven in the origin position direction. (S107), the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S108). The timer count of the non-detection operation period timer may be performed, for example, by counting the number of signals output from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals. ..

  Then, the process moves to a monitoring state in which the origin detection sensor is in the detection state and whether or not the non-detection operation period timer reaches a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S109, S110).

  When the operation target accessory is located at the origin position (initial position) and the origin detection sensor is in the detection state by driving the drive device (for example, drive motor) of the operation target accessory, in the direction of the origin position, The driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if the non-detection operation period timer has a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S112. In step S112, it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). (S113).

  When the value of the non-detection operation count counter reaches the operation error determination count in S113, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, and the origin return error of the operation target accessory is stored (S114), and S130. Proceed to. That is, in the non-detection operation control, when the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position), the actual operation confirmation operation control to be described later is not executed for the operation target accessory (the target operation target object). The origin return error is stored in order to put the operation target accessory in the dead end state, and the process proceeds to S130.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, the operation target accessory is put into the dead end state, but the present invention is not limited to this. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and when the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S113, the error processing is started and the error processing is executed, thereby performing the second initialization. By the process being interrupted, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 (effect control CPU 120 or the like) may not be activated (dead end state).

  In addition, when the action target accessory is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but, for example, the effect control CPU 120 inputs an input signal indicating that the movable body is operated (for example, It is preferable to execute processing such as invalidating the reception of the detection signal of the effect button or the like, or preventing the movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, when the value of the non-detection operation number counter does not reach the number of operation error determinations, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, the process returns to S106, and the process of S106 to S108 is performed again to perform the operation. The operation (movement control during non-detection) of moving the target accessory to the origin position at the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initialization operation control) is started, and the monitoring state of S109 and S110 described above is started. Transition.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S110 that the error determination time has elapsed, the operation (non-detection operation control) of moving the repeatedly operated target accessory to the origin position (initial position) is performed until the number of operation error determinations is reached. If the action target accessory is detected at the origin position (initial position) while the operation is being performed, the process proceeds to S130 without proceeding to S114.

  On the other hand, if it is determined to be "Y" in S104 and the process proceeds to S120, after setting the detection operation count counter to 0, the detection operation process data is set (S121a), and the detection operation process timer is set. The timer count of is started (S121b). Incidentally, the timer count of the detection time operation process timer is the same as the timer count of the non-detection time operation period timer described above, and the signal output from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals. It may be performed by counting the number. In addition, in the detection operation process data of the present embodiment, as the control speed for operating the operation target accessory, the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) described later (FIG. 39, The minimum control speed for operating the operation target accessory at the same operation speed (see FIG. 40) is described (set).

  Then, the target object is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the set operation process data for detection (S122), and it is determined whether the process data is completed (S123). If the process is not completed, the process returns to S122, and the action target accessory is operated based on the minimum control speed set in the detection process process data.

  As described above, in the detection operation control, the minimum speed based on the minimum control speed set in the detection operation process data until the detection operation process data is completed, that is, the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initial operation) At the lowest speed in the control operation (controlling operation), the operation is performed such that the original position (initial position) is once separated, and then the original position (initial position) is returned to the original position (initial position) (see FIG. 39). It should be noted that the position away from the origin position is a position in the vicinity of the origin position, that is, a position where the detected part of each movable body cannot be detected by each origin sensor and which is closer to the origin position than each effect position (detection position). Time movement position).

  If it is determined in S123 that the set operation process data for detection is completed, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, the process proceeds to S124, and it is determined whether the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. In other words, it is determined (confirmed) whether or not the operation target accessory is located at the origin position (initial position).

  If the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, if the operation target accessory is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S130.

  On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position), 1 is added to the detection time operation number counter (S126). Then, it is determined whether or not the value of the detection operation number counter after the addition reaches the operation error determination number (for example, 3) (S127). When the value of the number-of-operations counter at the time of detection has reached the number of operation error determinations, the process proceeds to S128, the origin return error of the operation target accessory is stored (S128), and the process proceeds to S130. That is, in the operation control during detection, when the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position), the actual operation confirmation operation control described below is not executed for the operation target accessory (the operation concerned). The origin return error is stored in order to put the target accessory in the dead end state), and the process proceeds to S130.

  In the present embodiment, when the value of the detection operation count counter reaches the operation error determination count in S127, the operation target accessory is put into a dead end state. However, the present invention is not limited to this. However, the second initialization process is performed by starting error processing and executing the error processing when the value of the operation count counter during detection reaches the operation error determination frequency in S113. By being interrupted, the effect control main processing may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 may be set to a state where it is not activated (dead end state).

  In addition, when the action target accessory is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 uses an input signal (for example, an effect button) for operating the movable body. It is preferable to execute processing such as invalidating the reception of the detection signal), or preventing the movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  In S130, which is executed when it is determined to be “N” in S102, “Y” in S109, or when “Y” is determined in S124, the movable body is not yet an operation target. 38. If it is determined whether there is a remaining movable body, and there is no remaining movable body (specifically, the action target accessory is the third movable body (not shown)), FIG. The process shifts to the process for performing the actual operation confirmation operation control shown in. On the other hand, when there is a remaining movable body, the procedure proceeds to S131, the movable body to be operated next is specified, and then the procedure returns to S102 to perform the above-described processing after S102 on the specified target object accessory. Do the same.

  In addition, when S131 is performed when the action target accessory is the movable body 250, the second effect body 900 is specified as the operation target accessory based on the setting data, and the operation target accessory is the second effect. When S131 is executed in the case of the body 900, the third movable body (not shown) is specified as the action target accessory based on the setting data.

  Next, the processing shown in FIG. 38 will be described. In S200 shown in FIG. 38, the effect control CPU 120 firstly, similarly to S101 described above, the movable body (confirmation target accessory) that first confirms the operation based on the setting data. Is specified (S200). Next, it is determined whether or not the origin return error of the target winning combination is stored (S201).

  If the origin return error of the confirmation target accessory is stored, the process proceeds to S220 without executing the processes of S202a to S213. By doing so, in the present embodiment, the actual operation confirmation operation control is not performed for the movable body that is determined to be the origin return error in the non-detection operation control or the detection operation operation control. ..

  On the other hand, if the origin return error of the confirmation target accessory is not stored, the process proceeds to S202a to set the actual operation confirmation process data corresponding to the confirmation target accessory. That is, if the confirmation target accessory is the movable body 250, the actual operation confirmation process data of the movable body 250 is set, and if the confirmation target accessory is the second effect body 900, the actual operation of the second effect body 900. The confirmation process data is set, and if the confirmation target accessory is the third movable body (not shown), the actual operation confirmation process data of the third movable body (not shown) is set. In addition, in each of these actual operation confirmation process data, the control speed and the like are described (set) so that the movable body performs the same operation as the actual operation in the movable body production in the production.

  Next, the timer count of the actual operation confirmation process timer is started (S202b). The timer count of the process timer for confirming the actual operation is the signal output from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals, like the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above. It may be carried out by counting the number of

  Then, the confirmation target accessory is operated at the control speed set corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer in the set actual operation confirmation process data (S203), and the process data is completed. It is determined whether or not (S204), and if the process data is not completed, the process returns to S203, and the confirmation target accessory is set corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer at that time. It operates based on the controlled speed.

  In this way, until the actual operation confirmation process data is completed, the confirmation target accessory is operated at the control speed set in the actual operation confirmation process data corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer. By doing so, the control speed of the confirmation target accessory can be sequentially changed in time series, and the same acceleration or deceleration as the control speed set when actually moving the movable body in the movable body effect can be performed. it can.

  Then, in the determination of S204, when it is determined that the set process data for confirming the actual operation is completed, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, and whether or not the target accessory is the origin target accessory. It is determined whether or not (S204a). If the target accessory is not the origin detection target accessory, that is, if it is the third movable body (not shown), proceed to S220. If the target accessory is the third movable body (not shown), proceed to S222. move on. On the other hand, if the target accessory is the origin detection target accessory, that is, if the movable body 250 or the second rendering body 900, the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, the operation target accessory is It is determined (confirmed) whether or not it is located at the origin position (initial position) (S205).

  When the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, when the confirmation target accessory is located at the origin position (initial position), the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the origin detection sensor is not in the detection state, that is, when the confirmation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position), the non-detection operation control described above is performed (see FIG. 37). The processing of S206 to S213 is performed in order to position the target accessory at the origin position (initial position).

  Specifically, after setting a non-detection operation number counter for counting the number of executions of non-detection operation control to 0 (S206), an actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) is set as a control speed. The minimum control speed for operating the action target accessory at the same operation speed as the minimum speed in step S207 is set (S207). The driving of the motor in the direction of the origin (initial position) is started (S208), and the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S209).

  Then, a transition is made to a monitoring state in which the origin detection sensor is in the detection state and whether or not the non-detection operation period timer has a value corresponding to the upper limit time (S210, S211).

  When the target accessory is located at the origin position (initial position) and the origin detection sensor is in the detection state by driving the drive device (for example, drive motor) of the target accessory toward the origin position (initial position). Is determined to be “Y” in S210 and the process proceeds to S220. On the other hand, if the non-detection operation period timer has a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, if the confirmation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time elapses, S212. Then, 1 is added to the non-detection operation number counter (S212), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation number counter after the addition has reached the operation error determination number (for example, 3). Yes (S213).

  When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number, the process proceeds to S220. In addition, in the present embodiment, the mode in which the action target accessory is put into the dead end state when the value of the non-detection action number counter reaches the action error determination number in S213 is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this. When the value of the non-detection operation number counter reaches the operation error determination number in S213, the return-to-origin error of the operation target accessory is stored, and the operation target accessory is stored. After that, the actual operation may not be executed. Alternatively, by starting the error processing and executing the error processing, the second initialization processing is interrupted, the effect control main processing is interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 is not activated. (Dead end state) may be set.

  Further, when the action target accessory is in a dead end state, the effect control board 12 (the effect control CPU 120 or the like) is activated, but for example, the effect control CPU 120 has an input signal (for example, an effect button) for operating the movable body. It is preferable to execute processing such as invalidating the reception of the detection signal) or preventing the movable body from operating even when the input signal is input.

  On the other hand, if the value of the non-detection operation number counter does not reach the number of operation error determinations, the process returns to S207 and the processes of S207, S208, and S209 are performed again to confirm the actual object of the accessory to be confirmed. The operation for moving to the origin position (initial position) at the lowest speed in the operation control for operation (long initialization operation control) (operation for returning to origin) is started, and the process shifts to the monitoring state of S210 and S211 described above.

  Therefore, even if it is determined in S211 that the error determination time has elapsed, the operation (non-detection operation control) of repeatedly moving the target accessory to the origin position (initial position) is executed until the number of operation error determinations is reached. If the target accessory is detected at the origin position (initial position) during this, the process proceeds to S220.

  In step S220, which is executed when "Y" is determined in S201, "N" is determined in S204a, "Y" is determined in S205, or "Y" is determined in S210 , It is determined whether or not there is a remaining movable body that is not yet a target for confirmation of the operation confirmation among the movable bodies, and if there is no remaining movable body (specifically, the target object of the operation confirmation is For three movable bodies (not shown), the error record stored in S114 and S128 is cleared (S222), and the process ends, while if there are remaining movable bodies, S221 is set. Then, after the movable body to be checked for operation is specified, the process returns to S201, and the above-described processing after S201 is similarly executed for the specified target accessory.

  Here, the operation mode and control contents of the movable body due to the execution of the second initialization processing shown in FIGS. 37 and 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 39 and 40. FIG. 39 is a schematic explanatory diagram showing operation modes of the non-detection time operation control, the detection time operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control performed by the production control CPU 120. 40A is an explanatory view showing the control speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control, FIG. 40B is an explanatory view showing the control speed in the detection-time operation control, and FIG. 40C is a control speed in the non-detection-time operation control. FIG.

  39 and 40, the non-detection operation control (short-circuit initialization operation control) and the detection-time operation control (short circuit initialization operation control) of the movable body 250 and the second effect body 900, which are the origin detection target accessory objects, are performed. ) And actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control), and description of the third movable body (not shown) that is not the origin detection target accessory will be omitted. In addition, although the reciprocal movement distance (rotation range) of the first movable portion 302 of the movable body 250 is not the same as the reciprocation movement distance (movement range) of the second movable portions 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900, For convenience of description, the same conceptual diagram will be used for description.

  As shown in FIG. 39, the first movable portion 302 of the movable body 250 and the second movable portions 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900 reciprocate between the origin position (the retracted position and the initial position) and the effect position, respectively. It is provided so as to be operable, and the forward movement from the origin position to the effect position and the returning operation from the effect position to the origin position are actual operations actually performed in the above-mentioned movable body effect or the like.

  If the detected part of the movable body is not detected by the origin detection sensor when the second initialization process is executed, that is, the movable body is for some reason (for example, the origin at the time of transportation or installation on the game island). If it has been moved from its position, or if the home position could not be returned during the previous operation. Positions other than the origin position (for example, non-detection operation control in FIG. 39) are supported due to a role object error (abnormal operation) such as disappearing, or when the machine moves from the origin position due to vibration of the game machine. When it is at a predetermined position between the origin position and the effect position, such as the position indicated by a black circle, the non-detection operation control for returning to the origin is executed. When this non-detection operation control is executed, since the movable body is located at a position away from the origin position, the only operation is to move the movable body toward the origin position.

  Moreover, when the second initialization process is executed, the effect control CPU 120 causes the first movable part 302 of the movable body 250 and the detected parts of the second movable parts 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900 to detect the origin. When detected, the operation control at the time of detection is executed.

  For example, in order to ensure that the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, a predetermined period is set between when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor and when the operation of the movable body in the origin position direction is restricted. When an operable range (for example, play) is set, it may return to the origin and stop at a position further inward than the position detected by the origin detection sensor. Therefore, even when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, the detection-time operation control for returning the movable body to the more accurate origin position is performed.

  In this detection operation control, it is necessary to move the movable body to a position away from the origin position and then return to the origin position in order to temporarily cancel the detection state of the detected portion by the origin detection sensor, but it is necessary to return to the origin position. Since it is not necessary to move the movable body, the movable body is moved from the origin position to the detection operation position near the origin position and then returned to the origin position. That is, the reciprocating operation is performed at a shorter distance than the actual operation (see FIGS. 18A and 18B).

  In addition, the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection operation control in the second initialization process, and then executes the actual operation confirmation operation control. The operation control for actual operation confirmation is the same operation as the actual operation actually performed by the movable body in various effects and the like.

  Next, the control speeds set when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control, the detection operation control, and the actual operation confirmation operation control will be compared. The speeds shown in FIGS. 40(A), 40(B), and 40(C) are control speeds set by the production control CPU 120 to operate each movable body, and are the actual speeds of the movable body. Operating speed is different. That is, for example, in the case of operating a predetermined movable body, even when the same control speed is set in one movement section and another movement section between the origin position and the effect position, one movement section and another The movable body was actually operated when the mode was different between the moving section (for example, a section with and without a spring, a straight section and a curved section), and when the same moving section was going up and down. The operating speed in some cases may differ from the control speed. Even if the same control speed is set for the movable bodies, the actual operating speed of each movable body may not always be the same if there is a difference in size, weight, operating mode, operating distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body. Not the same. When a plurality of movable bodies are operated by stepping motors having the same performance, even if the same control speed is set for each movable body, the size, weight, operation mode, operating distance, drive mechanism, etc. of each movable body If there is a difference between the two, the actual operating speed of each movable body is not necessarily the same.

  As shown in FIG. 40(A), when the effect control CPU 120 executes the actual operation check operation control, the effect control CPU 120 corresponds to the timer count value of the actual operation check process timer in the set actual operation check process data. The confirmation target accessory is operated based on the set control speed. Specifically, control is performed to accelerate from the origin position and then decelerate and stop at the effect position, and to accelerate from the effect position and then decelerate and stop at the origin position. That is, in the operation control for actual operation confirmation for confirming that each movable body can operate normally, the control speed of the movable body is changed in the order of low speed→high speed→low speed between the origin position and the production position. Let That is, when performing the movable body effect of each movable body, the effect control CPU 120 has a range between the minimum speed (low speed) that is the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) that is the second speed that is faster than the minimum speed. Since each movable body is controlled to operate at the speed within the range, even when performing the operation control for actual operation confirmation, the minimum speed (low speed) that is the first speed and the second speed that is faster than the minimum speed are set. Each movable body is controlled to operate at a speed within the range of the maximum speed (high speed) of.

  That is, the minimum speed as the first speed and the maximum speed as the second speed are the actual operation speed of the movable body, and the control speed is set so as to be the minimum speed and the maximum speed as the operation speed. Will be. In the following description, it is assumed that the movable body operates at the lowest speed when operated at the lowest control speed, and operates at the highest speed when operated at the highest control speed. To do.

  Here, the control speed is set so that the operation speed during acceleration and deceleration of the movable body becomes the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control. In addition, when returning to the origin position after moving to the effect position, by controlling so as to be the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation confirmation for a longer time than when stopping at the effect position, the movable body is reliably After decelerating, the origin detection sensor detects the detected part.

  As shown in FIG. 40(B), when performing the detection-time operation control, the effect control CPU 120 always confirms the actual operation in the period from the origin position to the effect position and in the effect position to the origin position. The movable body is controlled to operate at the lowest speed (first speed) in the operation control for use. That is, the effect control CPU 120 causes the maximum speed in the detection-time operation control as the first operation control to be equal to or lower than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (in the present embodiment, the actual operation). The control for operating the movable body is always performed based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation confirmation operation control so that the speed becomes the same as the minimum speed in the confirmation operation control.

  Also, in the case of motion control during detection, since the motion distance of the movable body is shorter than that in the motion control for actual motion confirmation, the origin detection will be performed when operating at the control speed when accelerating in the motion control for actual motion confirmation, that is, at high speed. Check the actual operation because the sensor may not be able to reliably detect the detected part or the movable body may be damaged by the impact when the movable body returns to the origin position from a short distance and its movement is restricted. Control to operate at the lowest speed in the operation control.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 40C, when performing the non-detection time operation control, the effect control CPU 120 always moves from an arbitrary position between the origin position and the effect position to the origin position. It is controlled so that it operates at the lowest speed (first speed) in the actual operation confirmation operation control. That is, the effect control CPU 120 causes the maximum speed (maximum operation speed) in the non-detection operation control as the first operation control to be less than or equal to the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (this embodiment). In this mode, the movable body is always operated based on the lowest minimum control speed among the control speeds set in the actual operation check operation control so that the speed is the same as the minimum speed in the actual operation check operation control. Control.

  In this case, it is unclear how far the movable body is from the origin position. Therefore, if the movable body is located near the origin position, the control speed when accelerating in the operation control for actual operation confirmation That is, when operated at high speed, the origin detection sensor cannot reliably detect the detected part when the movable body returns to the origin position, or the movable body returns to the origin position from a short distance and movement is restricted. Since the movable body or the like may be damaged by the impact at this time, control is performed such that the movable body operates at the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control.

  As described above, in the present embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection time operation control or the detection time operation control as the first operation control, the minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control. Based on the above, control is performed so that the movable body always operates at a single (constant) operation speed. These minimum velocities are the minimum velocities in the actual operation confirmation motion control corresponding to each movable body, and are not the operating velocities common to each movable body, so the minimum velocities in each movable body may differ.

  Specifically, since the movable body 250 and the second effect body 900 have different sizes, weights, operating modes, operating distances, and drive mechanisms including a drive motor, the movable body is movable even when the same control speed is set. The actual operating speed of is different. Further, even when different control speeds are set for the respective movable bodies, the actual operating speeds of the movable bodies are different. In this way, the minimum speed is an operation speed based on the control speed set according to each movable body, and the movable body is controlled to operate at the optimum minimum speed for the movable body. It is possible to reliably detect at the origin position.

When it is supplied, it is in a state where it can function normally, and the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 are converted into the parallel control signal 1 and the parallel control signal 2, and these parallel control signals 1 and 2 are LED. It can be output to the drive circuits 1 and 2. When the power supply VCC is not supplied, the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 does not operate and is in a stopped state, and the parallel control signal 1 and the parallel control signal 2 cannot be output.

  Further, the left LED 57b is connected to the signal line of the drive signal 1 output from the LED drive circuit 1, the power supply VDL is connected, and the drive signal 1 for turning on the left LED 57b is input.

Further, the right LED 57c is connected to the signal line of the drive signal 2 output from the LED drive circuit 2 and the power supply VDL, and the drive signal 2 for turning on the right LED 57c is input. Then, the right LED 57c is turned on by using the power supply VDL.

  The signal line of the parallel control signal 1 and the signal line of the parallel control signal 2 are connected to the power supply line VCC via the pull-up resistor 1. As a result, when the power supply VCC is supplied, each signal line of the parallel control signal 1 and the parallel control signal 2 is pulled up to a predetermined voltage.

  The signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 are connected to the power supply line VCC via the noise removing circuit 1. The noise removing circuit 1 is composed of a plurality of diodes, and the diodes are connected so that current can flow from the signal line side of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line side of the clock signal 1 toward the power supply line VCC side. ing. In the noise removal circuit 1, the voltage of the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 is higher than the voltage on the power supply line VCC side when the power supply VCC is normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d. When such noise occurs, current flows from the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 to the power supply line VCC, so that the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 are connected. The generated noise is released to the power supply VCC side and removed.

  In the shield unit control board 57d, the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 among the signal lines of the control signal connected via the connector 57e are connected to the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2. The signal line of the parallel control signal 3 output from the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2 is connected to the motor drive circuit 1, and the signal line of the parallel control signal 4 output from the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2 is the motor. The signal line of the parallel control signal 5 connected to the drive circuit 2 and output from the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2 is connected to the motor drive circuit 3 and the signal of the parallel control signal 6 output from the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2. The wire is connected to the motor drive circuit 4. The signal line of the excitation signal 1 output from the motor drive circuit 1 is connected to the first phase of the excitation phase of the shielding member operating motor 57a, and the signal line of the excitation signal 2 output from the motor drive circuit 2 is The signal line of the excitation signal 3 which is connected to the second phase of the shield member operating motor 57a and which is output from the motor drive circuit 3 is connected to the third phase of the shield member operating motor 57a's excitation phase to drive the motor.

If so, the function can be normally exerted, the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 are converted into parallel control signals 3 to 6, and these parallel control signals 3 to 6 are sent to the motor drive circuits 1 to 4. Can be output. When the power supply VCC is not supplied, the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2 does not operate and is stopped, and the parallel control signals 3 to 6 cannot be output.

  Further, the signal lines of the excitation signals 1 to 4 are connected to the respective excitation phases of the first phase to the fourth phase of the shielding member operating motor 57a, and the power supply VDL is connected to each of the excitation phases. By inputting the excitation signals 1 to 4 to the effect of excitation, the corresponding excitation phase is excited using the power supply VDL. The excitation phases of the first to fourth phases are set in a predetermined order by the signal lines of the excitation signals 1 to 4 (for example, the fourth phase, the first phase, and the first phase along the rotation direction of the shielding member operating motor 57a). , 1st phase and 2nd phase, 2nd phase, 2nd phase and 3rd phase, 3rd phase, 3rd phase and 4th phase, 4th phase, 4th phase and 1st phase... ), the shield member operating motor 57a is driven in a predetermined manner.

  When the excitation signals 1 to 4 are input so as to excite all the excitation phases (first to fourth phases) at the same timing, the shield member operating motor 57a is excited in all phases. As a result, it is maintained in a stopped state without rotating, but the current continues to flow from the power supply VDL to each excitation phase during the period in which the signal is input.

  Each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 is connected to the power supply line VCC via the pull-up resistor 2. Thereby, when the power supply VCC is supplied, each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 is pulled up to a predetermined voltage like the parallel control signals 1 and 2 described above.

  The signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 are connected to the power supply line VCC via the noise removing circuit 2. The noise removal circuit 2 has the same configuration as the noise removal circuit 1 described above, and when the power supply VCC is normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, the noise removal circuit 2 uses the signal line of the serial control signal 2 in the noise removal circuit 2. When noise such that the voltage of the signal line of the clock signal 2 becomes higher than the voltage of the power supply line VCC side, current flows from the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 to the power supply line VCC side. By flowing, noise generated in the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 is released to the power supply VCC side and removed.

  As described above, in the shield unit control board 57d of this modification, the power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2 branched from the power supply line VCC before being connected to the shield unit control board 57d are connected to different terminals of the connector 57e, respectively. ing. That is, the power supply line VCC for operating the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 and the like is connected to the shielding unit control board 57d by using two wires and two terminals of the connector 57e.

  The connector 57e has a plurality of terminals. The terminal group on one end side is connected to the signal line such as the serial control signal 1 and the terminal group on the other end side is connected to the power supply line such as the power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2. The power supply line VCC1 is connected to a terminal on one end side of the terminal group to which the power supply line is connected, and the power supply line VCC2 is connected to a terminal on the other end side.

  The power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2 connected via the connector 57e are integrated with the power supply line VCC on the shielding unit control board 57d, and the integrated power supply line VCC is connected with the light emitting diode 57f. When the power supply VCC is supplied to the board 57d and a current flows from the connector 57e side to each circuit side such as the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1, the light emitting diode 57f emits light and the power supply VCC is supplied. Can be recognized.

  In the shielding unit control board 57d, the power supply line VCC connected via the connector 57e is connected to each circuit or element such as the serial/parallel conversion circuits 1 and 2, the noise removal circuits 1 and 2, the pull-up resistors 1 and 2. By supplying a predetermined power (5 V) from the power supply line VCC, the circuits such as the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 are brought into a state in which they can normally function, and the effect control CPU 120 causes the shielding unit control board 57d. The shield member operation motor 57a, the left LED 57b, and the right LED 57c connected to the shield unit control board 57d can be operated based on the serial control signals 1 and 2 output to the shield unit control board 57d.

  The noise removal circuit 1 of the shielding unit control board 57d is connected to the signal lines of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 and the wiring of the power supply VCC, and the signal of the control signal is passed through the noise removal circuit 1. The line is connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC. The serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 are input to each signal line with the voltage supplied from the performance control board 12, and the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 1 is connected to the performance control board. A voltage corresponding to the output state of the signal from 12 is supplied. That is, the control signal side of the noise elimination circuit 1 has a predetermined High voltage when a signal is being transmitted by the serial control signal 2, and has a predetermined Low voltage when the signal is not being transmitted. The voltage that changes to a constant voltage and the serial control signal 2 apply a voltage that changes in a predetermined High voltage and a predetermined Low voltage in a predetermined cycle regardless of whether or not the signal is transmitted. . When the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the noise removing circuit 1, the voltage applied to the noise removing circuit 1 in response to the input of the serial control signal 1 or the clock signal 1 is a capacitance component in the noise removing circuit 1. The voltage is output to the wiring side of the power supply VCC of the noise removal circuit 1 with a substantially constant voltage by being leveled by the and inductance components. In such a case, an unintended voltage will be applied to each of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC via the pull-up resistor.

  The noise removing circuit 2 of the shielding unit control board 57d is connected to the signal lines of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 and the wiring of the power supply VCC, and the signal of the control signal is passed through the noise removing circuit 2. The line is connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC. The serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 are input to each signal line with the voltage supplied from the performance control board 12, and the control signal side of the noise removing circuit 2 is connected to the performance control board. A voltage corresponding to the output state of the signal from 12 is supplied. That is, the control signal side of the noise elimination circuit 2 has a predetermined High voltage when a signal is being transmitted by the serial control signal 2 and has a predetermined Low voltage when the signal is not being transmitted. The voltage that changes to a constant voltage and the serial control signal 2 apply a voltage that changes in a predetermined High voltage and a predetermined Low voltage in a predetermined cycle regardless of whether or not the signal is transmitted. .. When the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the noise removing circuit 2, the voltage applied to the noise removing circuit 2 in response to the input of the serial control signal 2 or the clock signal 2 is a capacitance component in the noise removing circuit 2. The voltage is output to the wiring side of the power supply VCC of the noise removing circuit 1 with a substantially constant voltage by being leveled by the inductance component. In such a case, an unintended voltage will be applied to each of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 connected to the wiring of the power supply VCC via the pull-up resistor.

  The voltage output from the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2 to the wiring side of the power supply VCC in response to the input of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 is a sufficiently high voltage (the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 2). 4), the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input, and the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are output by the serial/parallel conversion circuits 1 and 2. Although not present, the voltage output from the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2 acts as the parallel control signals 1 and 2 to operate the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 so as to turn on the left LED 57b and the right LED 57c. There is a possibility that the motor drive circuits 1 to 4 are operated so as to act as the parallel control signals 3 to 6 and simultaneously excite the respective excitation phases of the shielding member operating motor 57a. In particular, the clock signals 1 and 2 are signals whose voltage becomes a high voltage in a predetermined cycle, and regardless of whether or not it is the timing to operate the shielding member operating motor 57a, the left LED 57b, and the right LED 57c, the production control board Since the signal is continuously output from 12 to the shielding unit control board 57d, the LED drive circuit 1, 2 is output by the voltage output from the noise removal circuits 1, 2 in response to the input of the clock signals 1, 2. 2 may output the drive signals 1 and 2, and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4 may output the excitation signals 1 to 4. That is, when the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the shield unit control board 57d, the shield member operating motor 57a, the left LED 57b, and the right LED 57c may be operated unintentionally.

  Some conventional gaming machines include a conversion circuit that converts a control signal output from a control board into a drive signal, and drive an electric component such as an LED based on the drive signal. In such a configuration, for example, the power supply used for the conversion circuit may be used also for the circuit for removing noise of the control signal or the circuit for generating the drive signal. In such a case, the power supply line is disconnected. When the power supply is stopped due to such reasons, the clock signal superimposed on the control signal may be output from the control signal line to the drive signal line via the noise removal circuit.In such a case, the drive signal is output. Even if it is not done, the electric parts will operate.

  On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present modified example, the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 inputted from the signal line (first signal line) of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 are changed to the parallel control signal 1 2, and the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 that outputs the parallel control signals 1 and 2 to the signal lines (second signal line) respectively, and the parallel control signal 1 signal line (second signal line). LED drive circuit 1 that lights the left LED 57b according to the parallel control signal 1 and LED drive circuit that lights the right LED 57c according to the parallel control signal 2 input from the signal line (second signal line) of the parallel control signal 2 Circuit 2 and a power supply VCC for operating the conversion circuit is connected to the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1, and the power supply VCC is connected to the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 (first (1 signal line) is connected to a noise removal circuit 1 for removing noise and a pull-up resistor 1 that pulls up the voltage of the signal lines (second signal lines) of the parallel control signals 1 and 2, and the power supply VCC is It is configured to be supplied via two power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2. In such a configuration, the power supply VCC for operating the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 for converting the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 input from the first signal line into the parallel control signals 1 and 2 is the serial control signal. 1 and the noise removal circuit 1 of the signal line of the clock signal 1 (first signal line) and the pull-up resistor 1 of the signal line (second signal line) of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 are connected to the power supply VCC.

(Modification 15)
Next, a modified example 15 of the pachinko gaming machine to which the present invention is applied will be described. Since the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine of this modification includes the same configuration as that of the modification 14 described above, the differences will be mainly described here.

  In the modification 14, the shielding unit control board 57d has a configuration in which the power supply VCC is supplied via the two power supply lines VCC1 and VCC2. However, in the modification 15, as shown in FIG. The power supply VCC is supplied to the control board 57d via one power supply line, and the power supply VCC side of the pull-up resistor 1 of the signal line of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 output by the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 is provided. In the above, the sneak prevention circuit 1 for preventing the inflow of current and the application of voltage from the power supply VCC side to the signal line side of the parallel control signals 1 and 2, and the parallel control signal 3 output by the serial/parallel conversion circuit 2. In the power supply VCC side of the pull-up resistor 2 of the signal line of ~6, the sneak prevention circuit 2 for preventing current from flowing from the power supply VCC side to the signal line side of the parallel control signals 3-6, the shield unit control. This is a configuration further provided on the substrate 57d.

  As shown in FIG. 42, the turn-around prevention circuit 1 has one end thereof connected to the signal line of the parallel control signal 1 and the signal line of the parallel control signal 2 via the pull-up resistor 1 to prevent the turn-around circuit 1. The other end is connected to the power supply line VCC. The sneak prevention circuit 1 is configured using a Zener diode or the like, and is connected to the power supply line VCC side and the pull-up resistor via the Zener diode or the like so that current does not flow from the power supply line VCC side to the pull-up resistor 1 side. One side is connected. In the turn-around prevention circuit 1, the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCC is determined to be a predetermined threshold value (ON state in which the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4). When the voltage exceeds the threshold value of the voltage, that is, when it is a predetermined voltage (voltage of the power supply VCC (5V)), the voltage of the power supply VCC is applied to the pull-up resistor 1 side while the voltage of the power supply line VCC is reduced. When the voltage is equal to or lower than a predetermined threshold value (threshold value of the voltage at which the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4 to determine the ON state), for example, the power line VCC If the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the wiring side and the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 output voltages associated with the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2, the voltage is It is designed so that it is not applied to the pull-up resistor 1 side.

  Further, one end of the bypass prevention circuit 2 is connected to each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 via the pull-up resistor 2, and the other end of the bypass prevention circuit 2 is connected to the power supply line VCC. There is. The sneak prevention circuit 2 has the same configuration as the sneak prevention circuit 1 and is configured by using a Zener diode or the like. When the power supply VCC is not supplied, a current flows from the power supply line VCC side to the pull-up resistor 2 side. The power supply line VCC side and the pull-up resistor 2 side are connected to each other via a Zener diode or the like so that the current does not flow. In the turn-around prevention circuit 2, as in the turn-around prevention circuit 1, the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCC has a predetermined threshold value (the parallel control signals 1 to 6 in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4). When the voltage exceeds the threshold value of the input voltage that is determined to be the ON state, that is, when it is a predetermined voltage (voltage (5V) of the power supply VCC), the voltage of the power supply VCC is applied to the pull-up resistor 2 side. Then, the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCC is less than or equal to a predetermined threshold value (threshold value of the voltage for determining the ON state in which the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4) In the case of, for example, the power supply VCC is not normally supplied to the wiring side of the power supply line VCC, and the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 output the voltages associated with the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2. In such a case, the voltage is not applied to the pull-up resistor 2 side.

  As described above, in the shield unit control board 57d of the present modification, the pull-up resistor 1 and the power supply line VCC are connected via the sneak prevention circuit 1 so that when the power supply VCC is not supplied, The current emitted from the noise removing circuits 1 and 2 to the power supply line VCC side flows from the power supply line VCC side to the pull-up resistor 1 side, that is, the parallel control signal 1 signal line and the parallel control signal 2 signal line. That is, the voltage accompanying the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2 is the voltage output from the noise removing circuits 1 and 2 and the signal line of the parallel control signal 1 on the pull-up resistor 1 side and the parallel control signal. It is designed to prevent application to the second signal line.

  Further, in the shielding unit control board 57d of the present modification, the pull-up resistor 2 and the power supply line VCC are connected via the sneak prevention circuit 2 so that the above-mentioned noise removal circuit is provided when the power supply VCC is not supplied. The current discharged from the power supply line VCC side from the power supply lines 1 and 2 flows from the power supply line VCC side into the pull-up resistor 2 side, that is, the signal lines of the parallel control signals 3 to 6, and the serial control signals 1 and 2. To prevent the voltage output from the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2 from being applied with the input of the clock signals 1 and 2 from being applied to each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 4 on the pull-up resistor 2 side. It has become.

This is a configuration including a sneak prevention circuit 1 capable of preventing a current from flowing to a line. In such a configuration, in the configuration in which the power supply VCC for operating the serial/parallel conversion circuit 1 is connected to the noise removal circuit 1 of the first signal line and the pull-up resistor 1 of the second signal line, the noise removal circuit 1 is provided with the turn-around prevention circuit 1 capable of preventing a current from flowing from the first signal line to the second signal line.
