When the jackpot symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when the variable display result is "big hit". When the lost symbol is stopped and displayed (derived), it is when 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), it is controlled to the big hit gaming state as an advantageous state advantageous for the player. When the variable display result is "missing", it is not controlled to the jackpot game state.

In the big hit game state, the big winning opening formed by the special variable winning ball device 7 is opened. The open state is until the elapsed timing of a predetermined period (for example, 29 seconds) or the timing until the number of game balls that have entered the large winning opening reaches a predetermined number (for example, 9), whichever is earlier. Will be continued. Such an open state is called a round game (also simply called a "round"). In the jackpot game state, the round game is repeatedly executed until a predetermined upper limit number of times (for example, "15 times") is reached (the jackpot is closed during a period other than the round game).

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

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

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

After the probabilistic jackpot gaming state or the non-probabilistic jackpot gaming state ends, the average variable display time (variable display period) is controlled to be shorter than the normal state. In the time saving state, the end condition of either one of the predetermined number of times (100 times in this embodiment) of the special figure game being executed and the next big hit game state being started is satisfied first. Continue until you do.

In the time saving state, the normally variable winning ball device 6B is opened and closed in an advantageous change mode in which the game ball is more likely to enter the second starting winning opening than in the non-time saving state such as the normal state. It may be changed to. For example, control to make the fluctuation time of the normal symbol in the normal figure game (the period of variable display of the normal figure, also called the normal figure fluctuation time) shorter than in the normal state, or variable display in each normal figure game. The normal variable winning ball device 6B may be changed between the open state and the closed state in an advantageous change mode by controlling to improve the probability that the result will be "per normal figure" as compared with the normal state. Such control is referred to as high open control (also referred to as "time saving control" or "high base control"). By being controlled to such a time saving state, the time required until the next variable display result becomes a "big hit" is shortened, and the gaming state becomes a state 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 gaming state, a time saving state, or a probabilistic variation state, and the variable display result in the normal drawing game is "normal drawing". The pachinko game machine 1 such as the probability of becoming a "hit" and the probability that the variable display result in the special figure game becomes a "big hit" is in the initial setting state of the pachinko game machine 1 (for example, when a system reset is performed). It is in the same controlled state as (when the predetermined return processing is not executed after the closing).

The time saving state is also called "high base", and the gaming state that is not the time saving state is also called "low base" or "non-time saving state". The probabilistic state is also called "high probability", and the gaming state that is not the probabilistic state is also called "low probability" or "non-probability change".

(Progress of the game controlled by the effect control board 12)
In the "left", "middle", and "right" decorative symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R provided in 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 production) 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 or the second special figure game, the fixed decorative symbol (variable display result) becomes the variable display display result of the decorative symbol (variable display result). The combination of the three decorative symbols) is also displayed as a stop (derivative display).

In the period from the start to the end of the variable display of the decorative symbol, the variable display mode of the decorative symbol may become a predetermined reach mode (reach is established). Here, the reach mode is a decorative symbol that has not yet been stopped and displayed when the decorative symbol that has been stopped and displayed on the screen of the effect display device 5 constitutes a part of the jackpot combination described later (“reach variation”). (Also referred to as "design") is a display mode in which fluctuations are continuing.

Further, in this embodiment, the reach effect is executed in response to the above-mentioned reach mode during the variable display. As the reach effect, normal reach, super reach A, and super reach B, which have different production 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, the ratio at which the variable display result of the special figure game becomes a "big hit", and here, the percentage at which the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol becomes a "big hit".

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

When the variable display result is "missing", the variable display mode of the decorative symbol does not become the reach mode, and the fixed decorative symbol of the non-reach combination is stopped and displayed as the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol. There is. When the variable display result is "missing", after the variable display mode of the decorative symbol becomes the reach mode, the display result of the variable display of the decorative symbol is a predetermined reach combination ("reach loss combination") that is not a jackpot combination. ”) May be stopped and displayed.

When the super reach is executed, the effect using the effect device 200 is executed (details will be described later).

(Direction device 200)
Next, the details of the effect device 200 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 15. 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 up / down / left / right directions as viewed from the player located in front of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be defined as the up / down / left / right directions of the effect device 200 as they are (see FIGS. 3 and 4 and the like). Further, unless otherwise specified, each member constituting the effect device 200 is made of synthetic resin or metal. Further, unless otherwise specified, the mounting of each member may be performed by an appropriate method such as mounting using screws, screws or the like, or mounting such as fitting.

As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the effect 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 decorated with a decoration peculiar to the pachinko gaming machine 1, and such decoration can enhance the effect of the effect. The movable body 250 can move upward from the initial position (FIG. 3 (A)) and advance to the advance position (FIG. 3 (B)) by the drive mechanism 210 (returning from the advance position to the initial position). You can also). In the initial position of the movable body 250, most of the movable body 250 is located behind a transparent resin cover (attached to the game board 2 or the like) (not shown), and the movable body 250 is the resin cover. It is visually recognized 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 behind the game board 2 at least in the initial position and visually recognized through the game board 2.

(Structure of drive mechanism 210, etc.)
First, the drive mechanism 210 will be described with reference to FIGS. 3 to 5. The drive mechanism 210 includes a base body 211, a drive motor mounting member 213, a drive motor 215, first gears to sixth gears 217 to 222, a detection sensor 223, a rotary arm 225, a slide member 227, an elastic body 229, and the like (particularly). , See FIG. 5).

The base body 211 is the 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 game 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, concave rails 211J, guide holes 211K, and hooking portions 211L.

The supports 211A to 211F are formed of a cylindrical boss (which may be cylindrical; the same shall apply hereinafter for the columnar shape) protruding forward. The first to seventh gears 218 to 222 are rotatably supported on each of the supports 211A to 211E. Each gear has a through hole in the center thereof, 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 211F rotatably supports the rotary arm 225 (detailed later).

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. A rack 251 included in the movable body 250 is slidably fitted to the concave rail 211J. 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 extending in the vertical direction, and is provided at 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 on the notch.

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

The third gear 219 has a cylindrical columnar portion 219A whose internal portion is hollowed out, and an external gear 219B arranged behind the columnar portion 219A. The external gear 219B meshes with the second gear 218. Further, the third gear 221 includes a detection piece 219C having an arcuate outer edge protruding from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 219A, and a columnar protrusion protruding outward from the outer peripheral surface of the cylindrical portion 219A and further protruding rearward. It has 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 (such as a sensor that detects that the space between the light receiving unit and the light emitting unit is shielded by a detection target), and when the detection piece 219C is detected, the detection indicates that the detection 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 rotating 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 have a common rotation axis and are stacked. The first gear is located behind 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 the linear teeth 227A included in the slide member 227.

The rotary arm 225 has a fan shape. The rotary arm 225 has a long hole 225A into which the columnar protrusion 252A included in the movable body 250 is inserted, a long hole 225B into which the protrusion 219D is inserted, and a through hole 225C into which the support 211F is inserted. Be prepared. The through hole 225C is located at the center of a circle forming a fan in the shape of the rotary arm 225. The rotary arm 225 is rotatably attached to the base body 211 with the central axis of the support body 211C as the rotation axis. The elongated hole 225A is arranged on the first hypotenuse of the fan (the side formed by the radius of the circle), and is elongated in the direction in which the first hypotenuse extends. The elongated hole 225B is arranged on the second hypotenuse of the fan, and is elongated in the direction in which the second hypotenuse extends. The width of the elongated hole 225A (length in the short direction) is substantially the same as the diameter of the columnar protrusion 252A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The width of the elongated 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 the 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 includes a coil spring, rubber, and the like. One end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the hooking portion 211L of the base body 211, and the other end of the elastic body 229 is hooked on the hooking portion 227B of the slide member 227. Then, the elastic body 229 is in an extended state when the slide member 227 is located at the lowest position (when the slide member 227 is in the state of FIGS. 3A and 5 to 4). That is, the slide member 227 is urged upward (received an upward force) by the elastic force of the elastic body 229. Since the slide member 227 and the movable body 250 are interlocked as described above, the movable body 250 is also urged upward by the elastic force of the elastic body 229. That is, the elastic body 229 assists the movable body 250 to move upward.

(Action of drive mechanism 210, etc.)
When the drive motor 215 rotates the rotating shaft 215A in the forward direction (rotates counterclockwise), 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 second gear 218 rotates in the reverse direction (clockwise rotation) due to the forward rotation of the rotating shaft 215A. ), And the third gear 219 rotates in the forward direction. Due to the forward rotation of the third gear 219, the protrusion 219D also moves while drawing an arc. The protrusion 219D pushes the inner wall of the elongated hole 225B as it moves. As a result, the rotary arm 225 rotates upward (counterclockwise) about the support 211F. The rotation of the rotary arm 225 causes the protrusion 252A included in the movable body 250 inserted in the elongated hole 225A to move upward. As a result, the movable body 250 moves upward (advanced position). When the drive motor 215 reversely rotates the rotating 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 drive force that moves the movable body 250 in the vertical direction. As described above, the upward movement of the movable body 250 is assisted by the elastic body 229. Further, the elastic body 229 acts as a resistance against the downward movement of the movable body 250. 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.

When the power of the pachinko gaming machine 1 is turned off, the movable body 250 may be stopped at the advanced position. As a result, the period of the stretched state of the elastic body 229 can be shortened, and it is possible to reduce that the elastic force of the elastic body becomes weaker with the passage of 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 rotating shaft 215A, and detects the detection piece 219C by the detection sensor 223. When (when the detection signal is received from the detection sensor 223 or when the detection signal is received for a certain period of time), that is, when the movable body 250 moves to the advanced position, the rotation of the rotation shaft 215A is stopped. As a result, 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 driven 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 held in the RAM 122). The rotation shaft 215A is rotated in the reverse direction. For example, the number of supplied drive pulses is counted, and the same number of drive pulses are supplied at the time of reverse rotation to reverse-rotate the rotation shaft 215A. A detection sensor (same sensor as the detection sensor 223, for example, a photo sensor) is provided corresponding to the position of the detection piece 219C when the movable body 250 is in the initial position, and the detection sensor 219C is used. When it is detected, the reverse rotation of the rotation shaft 215A may be stopped.

(Structure of movable body 250, etc.)
Next, the structural details of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 to 15. The movable body 250 has a heart-shaped decorative body 269 and a member representing the LOVE character provided in front of the heart-shaped decorative body 250, and the decorative body 269 is deformed or each character of the LOVE is moved to produce an effect. Perform highly effective production.

The first and second slide members 265 to 266, the first and second mounting members 267 to 268, the decorative body 269, the predetermined mechanism X (the member forming the "LOVE" and the mechanism for moving each character of the "LOVE"". ) And.

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

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

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

The board 253 is a circuit board having a predetermined circuit and electrically connected to the effect control board 12. The substrate 253 relays control signals supplied from the effect control board 12 to the drive motor 257, the drive motor 273 described later, the LED substrate 275 described later, and the like, and also produces the effect 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 through holes and notches, and the plate-shaped member 252 is attached to the rear surface of the base body 255 with screws, screws, etc. via the through holes and notches. As a result, the rack 251 is also attached to the base body 255.

The base body 255 serves as the 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 extending in the left-right direction on the front surface (these are used in the predetermined mechanism X). Further, the base body 255 includes protrusions 255C to 255H made of a columnar boss or the like protruding rearward from the periphery (rear surface or the like). The base body 255 includes protrusions 255I to 255L composed of columnar bosses or the like protruding forward from the periphery (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 (referred to as a detection sensor S for the sake of explanation) (not shown) is fixed. The detection sensor S detects the detection piece 266D of the second slide member 266, which will be described later, and may be a photo sensor or the like like the detection sensor 223. Further, the LED substrate 256 is inserted into the upper portion 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, an LED 256A that emits light, and a connector 256C are mounted on the board body 256B. A light source other than the LED 256A may be used as the light source. The LED substrate 256 causes the LED 256A to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control substrate 12 relayed by the substrate 253. The light emission of the LED 256A illuminates the upper part of the decorative body 269. Since the decorative body 269 can transmit light, the upper part of the decorative body 269 appears to be emitted by the light from the LED 256A. The details of the LED substrate 256 will be described later.

The drive motor 257 is attached to the front 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 to the rear 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 of the detection sensor 259 and the like will be described later (used by 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 rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 and rotates together with the rotating shaft 257A. The second gear 262 and the third gear 263 arranged on the left and right sides 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 the 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 the through hole formed in the center thereof. Each gear can rotate about the central axis of each protrusion as a rotation axis. The second gear 262 includes a columnar protrusion 262A projecting rearward. The third gear 263 includes a columnar protrusion 263A projecting rearward.

The first slide member 265 is provided with an elongated hole 265A elongated in the vertical direction at the right end portion and an elongated hole 265B elongated in the horizontal direction at the center. A protrusion 262A is inserted into the elongated hole 265A. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the elongated hole 265A is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusion 262A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusion 262A can move in the elongated hole 265A. In the elongated hole 265B, protrusions 255E and 255F arranged in the left-right direction as an example are inserted. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the elongated 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 in the elongated hole 265B. The protrusions 255E and 255F regulate the first slide member 265 from moving in a direction other than the left-right 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 horizontal direction at the center. A protrusion 263A is inserted into the elongated hole 266A. The width (length in the left-right direction) of the elongated hole 266A is substantially the same as the diameter of the protrusion 263A (the diameter is slightly shorter). The protrusion 263A can move in the elongated hole 266A. In the elongated hole 266B, protrusions 255G and 255H arranged in the left-right direction as an example are inserted. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the elongated 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 in the elongated hole 266B. The protrusions 255G and 255H regulate the second slide member 266 from moving in a direction other than the left-right 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 in the initial position (when the decorative body described later is not deformed. The state shown in FIG. 12A). .. When the detection sensor S detects the detection piece 266D, the detection sensor S supplies a detection signal to that effect to the effect control board 12.

The first mounting member 267 is arranged inside the decorative body 269 (details will be described later). The first mounting member 267 has two small diameter rods 267A protruding rearward. The two small diameter rods 267A pass through each of the two small holes 269F provided in the overhanging 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 overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269. The first mounting member 267 has a through hole 267B extending in the left-right direction. The portion of the first mounting member 267 that forms the through hole 267B has a shape that enters the through hole 269A of the decorative body 269 (see also FIG. 8 and the like. The first mounting member 267 is partly of the decorative body 269. Visible from the outside). Therefore, the through hole 267B is arranged inside the through hole 269A.

The second mounting member 268 is arranged inside the decorative body 269 (details will be described later). The second mounting member 268 has two small diameter rods 268A protruding rearward. The two small diameter rods 268A pass through each of the two small holes 269G provided in the overhanging 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 overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269. The second mounting member 268 has a through hole 268B extending in the left-right direction. Of the second mounting member 268, the portion forming the through hole 268B has a shape that enters the through hole 269D of the decorative body 269 (see also FIG. 8 and the like. The second mounting member 268 is partly of the decorative body 269. Visible from the outside). Therefore, the through hole 268B is arranged inside the through hole 269D.

The decorative body 269 has a heart shape bulging forward and is a member capable of transmitting light. The decorative body 269 is provided with a predetermined decoration. The decorative body 269 is made of, for example, natural rubber or various synthetic rubbers including silicone rubber, and is elastically deformable. The decorative body 269 is provided with through holes 269A and 269D on the side thereof and through holes 269B and 269C on the front portion thereof. The ends of the first mounting member 267 and the second mounting member 268 are inserted into the through holes 269A and 269D, respectively. The decorative body 269 has an overhanging portion 269E overhanging inward from the rear end of its side portion. The overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269 is provided with two small holes 269F and two small holes 269G, and these are provided with a small diameter rod 267A of the first mounting member 267 (two small holes 265C of the first slide member 265). The small diameter rod 268A of the second mounting member 268 (fitted into the two small holes 266C of the second slide member 266) passes through. Therefore, the decorative body 269 is connected to the first mounting member 267 and the first slide member 265 at the left end portion provided with the small hole 269F, and the second mounting member 268 at the right end portion provided with the small hole 269G. And is connected to the second slide member 266. Further, a substantially triangular notch 269H and a notch 269I are formed in the upper part of the overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a compressing force acts on the decorative body 269 from the left-right direction, the notch 269H and the notch 269I close the notched portion. As a result, the decorative body 269 is easily deformed by the compressive force from the left-right direction. The decorative body 269 houses the base body 255 and the like inside. Therefore, the size of the configuration for operating the movable body 250 is made compact.

(Operation for deformation of decorative body 269)
When the drive motor 257 rotates the rotation shaft 257A in the forward direction (rotation to the right), 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 when the rotating shaft 257A rotates forward, the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 rotate in the reverse direction (rotate counterclockwise). Here, the protrusion 262A of the second gear 262 is provided on the upper portion of the second gear 262, while the protrusion 263A of the second gear 263 is provided on the lower portion of the second gear 263. ing. Therefore, when the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 rotate in the reverse direction, the protrusion 262A moves to the left side and the protrusion 263A moves to the right side. That is, the protrusions 262A and the protrusions 263A move in directions away from each other by being at the target positions 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 mounting member 267 also moves together). 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 mounting member 268 also moves together). 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 a direction away from each other along the left-right direction.

When the drive motor 257 reversely rotates the rotating shaft 257A, the operation in the opposite direction to the above 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. It moves 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 with the left end portion of the decorative body 269 sandwiched between them, the left end portion also moves left and right as they move left and right. Since the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 are connected with the right end portion of the decorative body 269 sandwiched between them, 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 elastically deforms so as to be pulled from both the left and right sides (see the figure on the left side in 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 the figure on the left side in FIG. 12C). As described above, a substantially triangular notch 269H and a notch 269I are formed in the upper portion of the overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269. As a result, when the decorative body 269 is pushed and compressed from both the left and right sides, the notch formed in a 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. By supplying the control signal to the drive motor 257, the effect control board 12 repeats rotating the rotating shaft 257A in the forward direction and rotating it in the reverse direction. Then, the decorative body 269 is elastically deformed so as to be pulled to the left and right, and elastically deformed to be pushed from the left and right. As a result, the heart-shaped ornament 269 appears to beat like a heart (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 in FIG. 12A)) by the detection sensor S. When the effect control board 12 receives the detection signal from the detection sensor S (or receives it over a predetermined period of time), the effect control board 12 detects that the second slide member 266 is in 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 of FIGS. 12 (B) and 12 (C), and the movable body 250 is in the state of FIGS. 12 (B) and (C). The presence may be detected, and the rotation direction of the rotation shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 may be controlled 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. 8 to 11 and the like. The predetermined mechanism X includes a cover body 271, a drive motor 273, an LED substrate 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 covers the base body 255 from the front by being attached to the base body 255 to which the driving force transmission mechanism X1 or the like is attached from the front. The cover body 271 has through holes 271A to 271B (these uses and the like will be described later). Further, the LED substrate 256 is inserted into the upper portion of the cover body 271, and a plurality of insertion portions 271C for fixing the LED substrate 256 are formed.

The drive motor 273 is attached to the front 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 to the rear of the cover body 271. The drive motor 273 operates by a control signal (drive pulse or the like) from the effect control board 12.

The LED substrate 275 is electrically connected to the substrate 253. The LED board 275 mounts various circuits and the LED 275A that emits light in front (decorative body 269). A light source other than the LED 275A may be used. The LED substrate 275 causes the LED 275A to emit light based on the control signal from the effect control substrate 12 relayed by the substrate 253. The decorative body 269 is illuminated by the light emission of the LED 275A (irradiation of light from the LED 275A). Since the decorative body 269 can transmit light, it appears to emit light by such illumination. The LED substrate 275 has a large notch 275B extending from above to the center. It should be noted that the elastic deformation of the decorative body 269 causes the light emission to appear to change. This point will be described later.

The cover body 277 has through holes 277A and 277B (these uses and the like will be described later). The cover body 277 covers the front of the LED substrate 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the drive motor 273, and is interposed between these and the decorative body 269. Further, the cover body 277 covers the upper part of the LED substrate 256. Since the cover body 277 is made of a 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 part of the decorative body 269. The cover body 277 prevents the decorative body 269 from coming into contact with the LED substrate 256, the LED substrate 275, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6), and the drive motor 273. As a result, it is possible to prevent the heat generated from these electronic components from being transmitted to the decorative body 269 and causing damage to the decorative body 269. Further, the contact between the electronic component and the decorative body 269 is prevented, and the electronic component is prevented from being damaged. The cover body 277 is attached to the cover body 271 via the LED substrate 275. For example, as shown in FIG. 8, a through hole is provided in the cover body 277 and the LED substrate 275 to communicate with each other when both are overlapped, and a screw, a screw, or the like is passed through the through hole and screwed into the cover body 271. The cover body 277 and the LED substrate 275 are attached to the cover body 271. At the time of this installation, the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6) and the drive motor 273 pass through the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275.

The first character member 281 is a member representing the letter "L", the second letter member 282 is a member representing the letter "O", and the third letter member 283 is the letter "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 uses and the like will be described later).

The third character member 283 has an LED substrate 283B, a diffusion plate 283C, and a cover body 283D in addition to the fitting rod 283A (see FIG. 8). The LED substrate 283B is electrically connected to the LED substrate 275 or the substrate 253. The LED board 283B mounts various circuits and an LED (which may be another light source) that emits light forward. 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 diffuser plate 283C diffuses the light from the LED (light emitted from the LED) of the LED substrate 283B. The cover body 283D is a transparent or translucent member, and the diffuser plate 283C transmits the diffused light. With such a configuration, the third character member 283 can emit light in order to enhance the effect of 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, as well as first to third pinion gears 291 to 293 and first to fourth rack members 295 to 298.

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

The first rack member 295 has a long shape in the left-right direction, and functions as a rack that moves in the left-right direction with the rotation of the first pinion gear 291. 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 formed of a columnar boss or the like that protrudes 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 in the left-right direction and are inserted into the elongated holes 296B described later in 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, and the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and is fitted 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 is a shape that 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 cause the movement of the second character member 282. It is long in the left-right direction to allow it.

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

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

The elongated holes 295I and 295J are elongated in the left-right direction, and the protrusion 255I is inserted into the elongated hole 295I, and the protrusion 255J is inserted into the elongated hole 295J. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the elongated 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 can slide in the left-right direction, but does not move in any other direction.

The second rack member 296 has a long shape 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 as the second pinion gear 292 rotates, as will be described later. The second rack member 296 includes teeth 296A, elongated holes 296B, and mounting portion 296C.

The tooth 296A extends in the left-right direction and meshes with the large-diameter second gear of the second pinion gear 292 from below.

In the elongated hole 296B, protrusions 295B and 295C arranged side by side in the left-right direction are inserted. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the elongated 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 does not move in any other direction.

The protrusions 295B and 295C are provided on the left side of the first rack member 295, and the elongated holes 296B are provided on the right side of the second rack member 296. Therefore, the left end of the second rack member 296 is located on the left side of the left end of the first rack member 295. The left side portion of the second rack member 296 passes through the through hole 267B of the first mounting member 267 (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 or the like (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Therefore, unlike the second character member 282, the first character member 281 is fitted and attached to the attachment portion 296C without passing through a 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 elongated holes 297K and 297L.

The protrusions 297A to 297C are formed of a columnar boss or the like that protrudes 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 in the left-right direction and are inserted into the elongated holes 298B described later in the fourth rack member 298.

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, and the notch 275B of the LED substrate 275, and is fitted with the mounting portion 297D. As will be described later, the third character member 283 moves in the left-right direction as the third rack member 297 moves. Therefore, the shape of the notch 275B is a shape that does not hinder the movement of the third character member 283, and the through hole 269C, the through hole 271B, and the through hole 277B cause the movement of the third character member 283. It is long in the left-right direction to allow it.

The tooth 297F extends in the left-right direction and meshes with the first pinion gear 291 from below.

The elongated holes 297K and 297L are elongated in the left-right direction, and the protrusion 255K is inserted into the elongated hole 297K, and the protrusion 255L is inserted into the elongated hole 295L. The width (vertical length) of the elongated holes 297K and 297L is substantially the same as the diameter of the columnar protrusions 255K and 255L (the diameter is 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 a long 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 as the third pinion gear 293 rotates, as will be described later. The fourth rack member 298 includes teeth 298A, elongated holes 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.

In the elongated hole 298B, protrusions 297B and 297C arranged side by side in the left-right direction are inserted. The width (length in the vertical direction) of the elongated 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 can slide 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 holes 298B are provided on the left side of the fourth rack member 298. Therefore, the right end of the fourth rack member 298 is located on the right side of the right end of the third rack member 297. The left side portion of the fourth rack member 298 passes through the through hole 268B of the second mounting member 268 (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 or the like (see FIGS. 10 and 11). Therefore, unlike the third character member 283, the fourth character member 284 is fitted and attached to the attachment portion 298C without passing through a through hole or the like.

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

When the drive motor 273 rotates its rotating shaft in the forward direction (leftward rotation) from the initial state shown in FIG. 10, the first pinion gear 291 fitted to the rotating shaft also rotates in the forward direction. Due to this forward rotation, the first rack member 295 having teeth 295F meshing with the first pinion gear 291 from above slides to the left, and the third rack member 297 having teeth 297F meshing with the first pinion gear 291 from below slides to the 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 immovable rack portion 255A from below, the second pinion gear 292 moves to the left while rotating in the reverse direction (rotating clockwise). 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. Due to the use of the second pinion gear 292, the amount of movement 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 of the third pinion gear 293 meshes with the immovable 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 due to the movement and reverse rotation of the third pinion gear 293. To do. Due to the use of the third pinion gear 293, the amount of movement 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 (attachment portion 295D) second from the left. The third character member 283 is attached to the third rack member 297 (mounting portion 297D), which is the third from the left, and the fourth character member 284 is attached to the rightmost fourth rack member 298 (attachment portion 298C). Is attached, so that each character member 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 amount of movement of the second rack member 296 (first character member 281) is larger than that of the first rack member 295 (second character member 282). The amount of movement of the fourth rack member 298 (fourth character member 284) is larger than that of the third rack member 297 (third character member 283). Due to such a relationship, in this embodiment, the distance between each member when the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 moves increases with the same degree of change (at any timing during movement). Each member is lined up at approximately equal intervals).

The through holes 269B and through holes 269C of the decorative body 269 allow the second character member 282 and the third character member 283 to move without interfering with the decorative body 269 and the like. Further, since the mounting portion 296C to which the first character member 281 is attached and the mounting portion 298C to which the fourth character member 284 is attached are always outside the decorative body 269, they also 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 can move independently of the deformation of the decorative body 269.

In the state of FIG. 11, when the drive motor 273 rotates its rotation axis in the reverse direction, an 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. By supplying the control signal to the drive motor 273, the effect control board 12 rotates the rotation axis of the drive motor 273 in the forward direction by a predetermined rotation angle, and changes from the state of FIG. 10 to the state of FIG. 11 in "LOVE". Change the spacing between letters (increase the spacing). Further, the effect control board 12 supplies a control signal to the drive motor 273 to reversely rotate the rotation axis of the drive motor 273, and changes the spacing between the letters of LOVE from the state of FIG. 11 to the state of FIG. Reduce the interval). The effect control board 12 detects the detection piece 295E by the detection sensor 259 (when the detection signal is received from the detection sensor 259 or when the detection signal is received for a certain period of time), that is, each rack such as the first rack member 295. The drive of the drive motor 273 is terminated when the member or the like reaches the initial position (when the state shown in FIG. 10 is reached).

The effect control board 12 repeatedly rotates the rotation shaft of the drive motor 273 in the forward direction and in the reverse direction, and the spacing between the letters "LOVE" (the spacing between the first to fourth character members 281 to 284). ) May be continuously changed a plurality of times.

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

(Relationship between deformation of movable body 250 and light emission)
The relationship between the deformation of the movable body 250 and the light emitting mode of the movable body 250 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12A shows the initial state of the movable body 250. The movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time is not deformed. The effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 and the like), and changes the movable body 250 in the order of FIG. 12 (A) → (B) → (C) → (A) → (B) → ... (Thus, the decorative body appears to be beating with excitement) (Strictly speaking, the state of (A) is also inserted between (B) and (C) in FIG. This is because it is a state between the state of B) and the state of (C).) Further, 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 accordance with the light emission of the LED 275A or regardless of the light emission, and the first to first steps are made. The four-character members 281 to 284 may be made to emit light individually or simultaneously to enhance the effect.

When the rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.) is rotated forward (clockwise) from the initial state, the first gear 261 also rotates forward as described above, via the second gear 262 and the third gear 263. The first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267 move in a direction 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 such a manner that it is pulled from both the left and right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 is reduced, the light transmittance is improved, and more light of the LED 275A is transmitted, so that the movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time looks brighter than in the initial state.

After that, when the rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 (FIG. 6 etc.) is rotated in the reverse direction (counterclockwise rotation), the first gear 261 also rotates in the reverse direction via the second gear 262 and the third gear 263 as described above. 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 approaching direction (see FIG. 12C). As a result, the decorative body 269 contracts in the left-right direction (elastically deforms in such a manner that it is pushed from both the left and right directions). Then, the thickness of the decorative body 269 becomes thicker, the light transmittance decreases, and the light of the LED 275A is transmitted less, so that the movable body 250 (decorative body 269) at this time is in the state of FIG. 12 (B). 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. 12 (A) to 12 (C), thereby changing the light transmittance and the decorative body. Since the brightness of the 269 changes according to its own beating movement, the effect of the effect is increased. The brightness of the LED 275A may be changed depending on the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269. For example, even if the brightness is increased when the light transmittance is high (FIG. 12 (B)) and the brightness is decreased when the light transmittance is low (FIG. 12 (C)). Good. As a result, the brightness of the decorative body 269 changes more greatly according to its heartbeat, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced. The light from the LED 256A mounted on the LED substrate 256 illuminates the upper part of the decorative body 269. Therefore, in FIG. 12, which shows 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 part of the decorative body 269 illuminated by the light from the LED 256A. In the upper part of the decorative body 269, the light transmittance 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 beating movement of the decorative body 269.

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

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

The substrate body 256B has a shape that matches the shape of the curved upper surface of the base body 255 on which it is installed. The substrate main body 256B has a curved portion 285 and a curved portion 287, and a non-curved portion 286 that is not curved. The curved portion 285 has a substantially bow-shaped curved shape in the cross section shown in FIG. 14 (A) cut by the cutting line XIVA-XIVA parallel to the left-right direction. The curved portion 287 has a shape substantially line-symmetrical with the curved portion 285 with respect to the center of the substrate main body 256B, and has a substantially bow-shaped curved shape in the cross section cut by the cutting line XIVA-XIVA. There is. The non-curved portion 286 connects both of the curved portion 285 and the curved portion 287. The non-curved portion 286 is not curved and is shown as a flat plate in the cross section cut by the cutting line XIVA-XIVA.

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

In the LED substrate 256 of 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 main body 256B will be described. 15A and 15B are views showing an LED substrate, FIG. 15A is an enlarged view of the “XVA portion” in FIG. 13A, and FIG. 15B is a cross-sectional view seen from arrow B in FIG. ) Is a cross-sectional view seen from the arrow C in (A).

FIG. 15 Each figure focuses on one LED 256A provided on the substrate main 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 having a short dimension and a longitudinal direction having a long dimension. In FIG. 15, Cartesian coordinates are defined with the mounting position Z0 as the origin, the lateral direction of the LED 256A being the X-axis direction, and the longitudinal direction being the Y-axis direction. The LED 256A is soldered onto the substrate body 256B so that the X-axis direction, which is the lateral direction, coincides with the left-right direction, and the Y-axis direction, which is the longitudinal direction, coincides with the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 15B, in the cross-sectional view cut along the cross-sectional lines parallel to the left-right direction, the substrate main body 256B is curved. The LED 256A is mounted on the board body 256B so that the X-axis in the lateral direction coincides with the tangent line on the board body 256B passing through the mounting position Z0. Two tangents are shown in FIG. 15B, the first being a tangent 288 passing through a 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 passing through the point Z2 on the substrate body 256B corresponding to the point X2 advanced from the point X0 in the + X axis direction. Looking at the tangent line 288, the X axis, and the tangent line 289 on the substrate body 256B in order, the direction of the straight line gradually changes. From this, it can be seen that the substrate main 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 main body 256B is not curved in the cross-sectional view cut along the cross-sectional lines parallel to the front-rear direction. The LED 256A is provided on the substrate body 256B so that the Y-axis in the longitudinal direction coincides with the tangent line on the substrate body 256B passing through the mounting position Z0. Further, in FIG. 15C, it corresponds to a tangent line passing through the point Z3 on the substrate main body 256B corresponding to the point Y1 advanced in the −Y axis direction from the point Y0, and the point Y2 extending in the + Y axis direction from the point Y0. 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 main body 256B in FIG. 15C does not change even if the position on the Y axis is changed. From this, the substrate main body 256B has a curvature of 0 in the Y-axis direction (longitudinal direction of the LED 256A).

In this way, the LED 256A is soldered at the mounting position Z0 on the substrate body 256B in the lateral direction (X-axis direction) toward a large curvature and in the longitudinal direction (Y-axis direction) toward a small curvature direction. ing. In particular, in the present embodiment, the lateral direction (X-axis direction) of the LED 256A is the direction in which the curvature is maximized at the mounting position Z0, the longitudinal direction of the LED 256A (Y-axis direction) is defined as the minimum curvature at the mounting position Z0. (The direction in which the curvature is 0). In addition, also in the electronic component 256D other than the LED 256A shown by the “XVA portion” in FIG. 13 (A), at the mounting position on the substrate main body 256B, the lateral direction has a large curvature and the longitudinal direction has a small curvature. It is soldered so that it faces the front (longitudinal direction faces the front-back direction).

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

After that, the effect control board 12 sets the movable body 250 in the initial state before deformation, and then controls the drive mechanism 210 (drive motor 215) to advance the movable body 250 to the advance position (detailed operation is described above. reference). At this time, the effect control board 12 displays the effect image EG3 that makes the drive motor 273 stand out 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 in the character spacing of LOVE, etc.).

(Effects of this embodiment, etc.)
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 an unprecedented form, and the effect of the effect is improved. In this way, by applying forces in a plurality of directions to the decorative body to change the decorative body, the decorative body is changed into a form (for example, complicatedly) that the player is interested in. It is possible to improve the effect of production.

Further, in this embodiment, the light transmittance of the decorative body 269 is changed by deforming the decorative body 269 (changing the thickness by the deformation). As a result, the brightness of the decorative body 269 that is illuminated later can be changed according to its shape. In particular, since the transmittance can be changed according to the degree of deformation of the decorative body 269, the brightness of the decorative body 269 can be continuously changed by continuously changing the shape of the decorative body 269. (No complicated control is required). Therefore, the effect of the effect can be improved.

Further, by changing the brightness of the LED 257A according to the deformation of the decorative body 269, the effect of the deformation of the decorative body 269 and the effect of the light can be simultaneously related and executed, so that the effect of the effect can be improved. The effect can be improved.

Further, in this embodiment, since the effect image EG1 or the like corresponding to the change of the decorative body 269 is displayed on the effect display device 5, the display image of the effect display device 5 can be linked with the deformation of the decorative body 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 acts as a resistance against the downward movement of the movable body 250. 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.

Further, the electronic component 256D on the curved substrate body 256B is soldered at the mounting position in the lateral direction toward the direction in which the curvature of the LED substrate 256 is large and in the longitudinal direction toward the direction in which the curvature of the LED substrate 256 is small. There is. As a result, it is possible to prevent cracks from occurring in the solder that fixes the electronic component 256D. Such an effect is not limited to the manufacturing process of the LED substrate, and even in the LED substrate formed by soldering electronic components to the curved substrate body, the electronic components such as LEDs are soldered to the flat plate-shaped substrate body and then. The same effect can be obtained with an LED substrate formed by bending the substrate body.

It is difficult to bend an electronic component such as an LED according to the shape of a curved substrate body from the viewpoint of cost and manufacturing. Therefore, the non-curved electronic component is soldered to the substrate body, but an unavoidable gap is generated 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, the fixing by the solder is insufficient, and unexpected thermal stress or stress concentration occurs in the solder. As a result, cracks are likely to occur in the solder that fixes the electronic components. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the longitudinal direction of the electronic component is directed to the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body is small, so that the gap generated between the electronic component and the substrate body is made small. On the other hand, by directing the lateral side of the electronic component to 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 of creating a large gap. As a result, the soldering of electronic components can be ensured, unexpected thermal stress and stress concentration can be reduced, and cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

Next, a case where a flat plate-shaped substrate body to which electronic components are soldered is bent to form a curved LED substrate will be described. When an electronic component is soldered to a substrate body on a flat plate, there is no gap between the electronic component and the board body, and defects in soldering are unlikely to occur. However, when the substrate body to which the electronic components are soldered is bent, a tension region and a compression region are formed on the substrate body with the neutral axis as a boundary. At this time, the surface of the substrate body on the tension region side expands, and the surface on the compression region side shrinks. However, electronic components and solder on the surface of the substrate body try to resist expansion and contraction of the surface of the substrate body. Therefore, cracks are likely to occur in the solder by bending the substrate body. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the electronic component is arranged so that the lateral direction coincides with the direction in which the surface expands and contracts greatly due to the bending process of the substrate body (the direction in which the tensile force and the compressive force act and the direction in which the curvature is large). Is placed. As a result, the range in which the surface of the substrate body restrains expansion and contraction can be reduced, the stress acting on the solder can be reduced, and cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

Further, a substantially triangular notch 269H and a notch 269I are formed in the upper part of the overhanging portion 269E of the decorative body 269. When a compressing force acts on the decorative body 269 from the left-right direction, the notch 269H and the notch 269I close the notched portion. As a result, the decorative body 269 can be easily deformed by the compressive force from the left-right direction, and the operation of the decorative body 269 can be made natural.

Further, the first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267 are connected so as to sandwich the left end portion of the decorative body 269, and the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 are connected to the right end portion of the decorative body 269. Are connected with the. By connecting the decorative body 269 in a sandwiched state in this way, it is possible to suppress a problem that stress is concentrated on a specific place and the decorative body 269 is torn when the decorative body 269 is deformed. ..

(Modification example)
The present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment and the like, and various modifications and applications can be made to the above-mentioned embodiment and the like. For example, the pachinko gaming machine 1 does not have to have all the technical features shown in the above-described embodiment, and is a part described in the above-described embodiment so as to be able to solve at least one problem in the prior art. It may have the structure of. Examples of modifications of the above-described embodiment will be illustrated below, but at least a part of each modification can be combined as long as there is no contradiction.

(Modification example 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 and 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 to form the second rack. The slide of the part 296 and the fourth rack member 298 and the deformation of the decorative body 269 may be interlocked with each other. In such a case, the drive motor 257 and various members for transmitting the driving force of the drive motor 257 become unnecessary. With such a configuration, a plurality of types of members used for the effect can be easily interlocked, and the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

(Modification 2)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may perform a so-called initial operation at the time of initial setting when the power is turned on. The initial operation uses various sensors (1) whether the movable body 250 or the like is in the initial state (for example, when the pachinko gaming machine 1 is normally turned off, it can be said that the movable body 250 is in the initial state). If it is not in the initial state, the process of returning the movable body 250 etc. to the initial state is executed, and (2) whether or not the movable body 250 etc. moves normally is determined by the clerk of the amusement park or at the time of shipment from the factory. A process of actually operating the movable body 250 or the like to return it to the initial state (for example, the same operation as when performing an effect using the movable body 250 or the like during a game) so that a worker or the like can visually check it. (Processing to be performed by the movable body 250 or the like), and at least one of the above are included. 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 where there is no abnormality (for example, a state when the power is turned on normally without any abnormality). , The state in which the effect is not executed), as long as it is in the state before the decorative body 269 or the like operates. Then, when the initial operation at the time of turning on the power (movement of the movable body 250, deformation of the decorative body 269, movement of the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284, etc.) is performed, the effect control board 12 is used for the effect display device 5. In addition, the image to be displayed when the effect normally performed by the movable body 250 such as the effect image is not displayed (for example, the image is not displayed on the effect display device 5 or only a predetermined initial screen is displayed). Or to display the recovery screen when the power is restored). Thereby, the visibility of the operation of the movable body 250 at the time of turning on the power can be improved (in particular, the above (2)).
During initial operation including).

(Modification example 3)
Even if an external force required 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 decorative body 269 is being deformed due to its elastic force (restoring force). It may be closer to the initial state (initial shape) than the state. For example, a stepping motor having a weak detent torque may be used as the drive motor 257 to increase the elastic force of the decorative body 269 (restoring force required to rotate the rotating shaft 257A of the drive motor 257 that is not turned on). It is good that the decorative body 269 has). The decorative body 269 and the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 may approach the initial state when the power is turned off by the force of an elastic body such as a spring provided in the mechanism for driving them. .. The approaching to the initial state includes both the return of the decorative body 269 to the initial state and the return to the state (shape) close to the initial state. If the decorative body 269 approaches the initial state to some extent, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience caused by the deformed decorative body 269 being left as it is (for example, the decorative body 269 is difficult to return to the initial state due to an unintended habit).

(Modification example 4)
The pachinko gaming machine 1 may include means for monitoring the voltage of the power supply. In this case, when the voltage value of the power supply falls below a predetermined value, it is determined that the power supply is cut off due to a power failure or the like, and the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 are controlled to bring the effect device 200 closer to the initial state. May be done. The predetermined value may be a value that secures the voltage required to operate the movable body 250 and the drive mechanism 210 (various drive motors) (a value larger than the threshold value when determining the power failure at the end). It is good to say). For example, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 273 to bring the first slide member 265 and the first mounting member 267 and the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 closer to their original positions (move to the initial position). (Including moving to the vicinity of the initial position, etc.). As a result, a 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 closer to the initial state (at this time, the first character member 281 to the fourth character). The member 284 should also be brought closer to the initial state). The explanation of "initial state" and "approaching the initial state" and the effect of the modified example 4 are based on the modified example 3. A backup power supply or the like is provided, and after the power supply is actually cut off and power is no longer supplied from the outside, the effect control board 12 controls the drive motor 273 by the backup power supply to control the first slide member. The 265 and the first mounting member 267 and the second slide member 266 and the second mounting member 268 may be brought closer to their original positions. The decorative body 269 does not have to be an elastic body. In this case, it is preferable to perform the above process for bringing the effect device 200 closer to the initial state.

(Modification 5)
The decorative body 269 may have a force acting in the vertical direction or an oblique direction, or may have a force acting in three or more directions. The decorative body 269 may be one in which a force acts in one direction. 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 at the same time or may be applied at different timings. For example, a force may be applied to the right end portion of the decorative body 269 and then a force may be applied to the left end portion. The magnitude of the force in multiple directions may be the same, or at least one may be different from the others. The direction and number of the acting forces, the timing of action, etc. may be adjusted to the shape of the decorative body 269 (in the above embodiment, since the shape of the decorative body 269 is a heart shape, the decorative body 269 beats. To make it look like it is doing, the force is applied at the same time on the left and right).

The decorative body 269 may, for example, set the initial state in FIG. 12 (A) and shift only to the state in FIG. 12 (B). As described above, the decorative body 269 does not expand and contract from the initial state, but may only extend from the initial state (it may be specified by the rotation angle of the drive motor or the like). Further, the decorative body 269 may, for example, set the initial state in FIG. 12 (A) and shift only to the state in FIG. 12 (C). As described above, the decorative body 269 may only perform the operation of contracting from the initial state (it may be specified by the rotation angle of the drive motor or the like).

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

Further, the speed of movement of the decorative body 269 (such as the speed of beating) may be changed, and the change in the brightness of the LED 257A may be adjusted to match the speed of the movement. For example, when the brightness (brightness) is changed according to the movement (beat) of the decorative body 269, the faster the movement, the faster the change in brightness (faster the cycle of light and darkness), and the slower the movement, the faster the change. The change in brightness may be slowed down (the cycle of light and dark may be slowed down). For example, by making the relationship between the state of the decorative body 269 and the brightness at that time always the same, the deformation period of the decorative body 269 and the period of change in the brightness of the LED 257A can be matched. As a result, the effect of production can be enhanced. The emission color of the LED 257A may be changed in addition to or in addition to the change in brightness (the faster the color, the darker the color, etc.). Various modes (shape, color, blinking cycle, size, number of images, etc.) of the effect images EG1 and EG2 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 according to the speed of movement of the decoration body 269). The brightness and emission color (illumination color) of the LED 257A, the mode of the effect image, etc. are changed according to the mode of movement of the decorative body 269 (direction of movement (direction of expansion and contraction, etc.), amount of movement, speed of movement, etc.). May be 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 advance notice effect, the look-ahead advance notice, the effect in the big hit game state, and the like. An appropriate shape or the like of the movable body 250 can be adopted. The present invention can also be applied to other gaming machines such as slot machines and enclosed gaming machines.

(Modification 8)
The above-mentioned LED substrate 256 has a curvature in the left-right direction, but does not have a curvature in the front-rear direction orthogonal to the left-right direction. The electronic components on the substrate body are arranged in the longitudinal direction toward 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 to a case where an electronic component is soldered to a substrate having a curvature in any direction. 17A and 17B are views showing another example of the LED substrate, where FIG. 17A is a plan view and FIG. 17B is a sectional view taken along line BB in (A). 18A and 18B are views showing another example of the LED substrate, FIG. 18A is a cross-sectional view of the cutting line XVIIIA-XVIIIA in FIG. 17A, and FIG. It is an enlarged view of.

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

The substrate main body 301 is different from the above-mentioned LED substrate 256 in that the substrate main body 301 has a rectangular shape in a plan view and its surface is curved in any direction. The substrate main body 301 has a highly curved high-curved section 311 and a low-curved section having a smaller curvature than the high-curved section 311 in the cross section shown in FIG. 17B cut along the cutting lines BB parallel to the left-right direction. It has 310 and a low curvature section 312. The low-curvature section 310 and the low-curve section 312 have a line-symmetrical relationship with respect to the center of the LED substrate 300. On the other hand, the substrate main body 301 is also curved in the cross section shown in FIG. 18A cut by the cutting lines XVIIIA-XVIIIA parallel to the front-rear direction. However, the degree of curvature is smaller than the degree of curvature in any section of the cross section shown in FIG. 17 (B). That is, the substrate main body 301 of the LED substrate 300 has a curved surface having a large curvature of the cross section cut by the cutting line parallel to the left-right direction and a small curvature of the cross section cut by the cutting line parallel to the front-rear direction.

As shown in FIG. 17A, the LED 302 is defined with a lateral direction X1 and a longitudinal direction X2. In the LED 302, the lateral direction X1 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is large (FIG. 17B), and the longitudinal direction Y1 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is small (FIG. 18 (FIG. 18)). A)) Arranged. By arranging the LED 302 in this way, it is possible to suppress cracks that occur in the solder that fixes the LED 302, as in the above embodiment.

Further, as shown in FIG. 17A, the connector 303 is defined with the lateral direction X2 and the longitudinal direction Y2. The connector 303 has a dimension in the lateral direction and a dimension in the longitudinal direction, both of which are larger than the respective dimensions of the LED 302. In the connector 303, the lateral direction X2 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is large (FIG. 17B), and the longitudinal direction Y2 coincides with the direction in which the curvature of the substrate body 301 is small (FIG. 17). (A)) 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 is not soldered to the high curvature section 311. As described 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 main body 301 smaller, it is soldered to a portion having a small curvature. This does not preclude that the LED 302 is soldered to the low curvature section 312. That is, the smaller the size of the electronic component, the more allowable the soldering to the portion having a larger curvature. On the other hand, the larger the size of the electronic component, the more the soldered portion is limited to the portion having the smaller curvature.

Although LEDs and connectors have been described as examples of electronic components to be soldered to a substrate, the present invention is also applied to other electronic components such as transistors, resistors, diodes, and capacitors. be able to.

(Modification 9)
Further, in the above-mentioned LED substrate, since the direction having a large curvature and the direction having a small curvature coincide with each other between the mounting locations of a plurality of electronic components, the longitudinal direction of each electronic component is also regularly aligned in the front-rear direction. Was soldered. However, the present invention can also 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 in which the curvature is large and the lateral direction coincides with the direction in which the curvature decreases.

(Modification example 10)
As shown in FIG. 18B, in the curved LED substrate 300, the mode is different between the wiring 330 on the surface on the bending portion 301a side and the wiring 340 on the surface on the bending portion 301b side. You may. Here, the bending portion 301a means a portion on which a tensile force acts on the neutral axis when the substrate main body 301 is bent, and the bending portion 301b means a portion on which a compressive force acts 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 bending the LED substrate 300 and a thermal stress when soldering an electronic component. In order to prevent defects such as breakage in the wiring 330 due to these external forces, each cross section of the wiring 330 arranged on the bending portion 301a side is arranged on the bending portion 301b side. It is larger than the cross section of the wiring 340. As a result, it is possible to prevent the solder 320 from being cracked due to the disconnection of the wiring 330. On the other hand, a compressive force mainly acts on the wiring 340 on the surface of the curved portion 301b side, but problems such as breakage of the wiring 340 are unlikely to occur due to the compressive force. Therefore, each cross section of the wiring 340 arranged on the bending portion 301b side can be made smaller than the cross section of the wiring 330 on the extending portion 301a side.

The difference between the cross section of the wiring 330 and the cross section of the wiring 340 is not limited to the case where the substrate is different in a curved state as shown in FIG. 18 (B). For example, in a flat substrate before bending, the cross section is different by the amount of expansion and contraction of the wiring, and when the substrate is curved after that, the wiring of the extension portion and the wiring of the contraction portion have almost the same cross section. It may be configured as such. Further, as a difference in wiring between the bent portion and the contracted portion, not only the size of the cross section of one wiring but also the number of wirings, the material of the wirings, and the like may be different. For example, the cross section of each wiring may be made the same size in the bent portion and the contracted portion, and the number of wires in the extended portion may be larger than the number of wires in the curved portion. Further, the wiring of the bending portion may be formed by using a material that is easier to stretch than the wiring of the bending portion. When soldering an electronic component to each of the bent portion and the bent portion, the amount of solder of the electronic component arranged in the bent portion is calculated from the amount of soldered of the electronic component arranged in the bent portion. May be more. As a result, cracks generated in the solder can be suppressed.

(Modification 11)
Further, in the LED substrate provided in the game machine according to the present invention, it is possible to realize an appropriate arrangement of electronic components capable of suppressing solder cracks by considering the functions and performance of the electronic components to be mounted. 19A and 19B are views for explaining another example of the LED substrate, FIG. 19A is a diagram in which electronic components are arranged without considering the curvature of the substrate body, and FIG. 19B is a diagram in which electronic components are arranged from the arrangement of (A). It is the figure which changed the arrangement of parts. The substrate main body 401a shown in FIGS. 19A and 19B has the same shape as the substrate main body 301 shown in FIG. That is, the LED substrate 400a has a highly curved high-curvature section 411 with a large curvature, and a low-curvature section 410 and a low-curvature section 412 having a smaller curvature than the high-curvature section 411. Further, the substrate main body 401a is curved in the front-rear direction as well, but the degree of curvature is smaller than that of the low-curved section 410 and the low-curved 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 LED421c have higher brightness of the emitted light and larger dimensions than the LEDs 420a to 420g. Further, the resistor 430a and the resistor 430b each have the same resistance value and the same dimensions. Here, for example, it is judged that the solder for fixing the electronic components in the low-curvature section 410 and the low-curvature section 412 is unlikely to crack because the degree of curvature of the substrate main body 401a is small, and the high-curvature section 411 is set. It is assumed that it is judged that the solder for fixing the LEDs 420c to 420e is unlikely to have cracks because the size of the electronic component itself is small. On the other hand, it is assumed that there is a high possibility that cracks will occur in the solder that fixes the LED 421b in the highly curved section 411 and the resistors 430a and 430b. In this case, it is necessary to change the type and arrangement of the electronic components shown in FIG. 19A to suppress solder cracks.

Since it is unlikely that cracks will occur in the solder fixing the LEDs 420a to 420g, it is not necessary to change the position or type of the electronic component. However, as shown in FIG. 19B, the LED 422a may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LED 420a and the LED 420b. The LED 422a to be arranged in this way is selected from those that emit light having the same brightness as the combined brightness of the lights emitted from the LED 420a and the LED 420b. Although the LED 422a has a larger size than the LED 420a and the LED 420b, it is judged that cracks are unlikely to occur in the solder in the low curvature section 410. Similarly, as shown in FIG. 19B, the LED 422b may be provided at an intermediate position instead of the LED 420f and the LED 420g.

As shown in FIG. 19B, four LEDs 422a can be provided in place of the LEDs 421b provided in the highly curved section 411, where cracks are likely to occur in the solder to be fixed. These LEDs 422a are selected from among the LEDs whose combined brightness of the four lights is comparable to the brightness of the light emitted from the LED 421b alone. The dimensions of the four LEDs 422a are smaller than the dimensions of the LED 421b, and the solder to be fixed is less likely to crack. In this way, by substituting a plurality of small-sized LEDs (electronic parts) for the large-sized LEDs (electronic parts) without reducing the brightness of the light as a whole (without reducing the function), soldering is performed. It is possible to suppress the cracks that occur in the solder. Further, the LED 422a having a small size is mounted around the mounting position of the substitute LED 421b. Therefore, the mode of the light emitted from the four LEDs 422a and the mode of the light emitted from the LED 421b alone can be made the same.

Further, when it is judged that the solder for fixing the resistor 430a provided in the highly curved section 411 is likely to have a crack, the crack is generated by changing the wiring or the like formed on the substrate main body 401a. The resistor 430a can be moved to a position where it is difficult to move. That is, as shown in FIG. 19B, the mounting position of the resistor 430a is changed from the high-curved section 411 to the low-curved section 410. This makes it possible to suppress cracks that occur in the solder that fixes the resistor 430a.

Further, unlike the resistor 430a, when it is difficult to change the mounting position, a plurality of small resistors can be substituted without changing the mounting position. As shown in FIG. 19B, two small resistors 431a can be provided in place of the resistor 430b provided in the highly curved section 411 where the solder is likely to crack. The two resistors 431a provided instead are selected from those in which the combined resistance value is about the same as the resistance value of the substitute resistor 430b. The size of the resistor 431a is smaller than the size of the resistor 430b, and the possibility of cracking in the solder is low. In this way, by substituting a plurality of small-sized resistors (electronic parts) for a large-sized resistor (electronic component) without changing the resistance value as a whole (without changing the function), Cracks that occur in the solder can be suppressed.

In this way, changing a large-sized electronic component to a plurality of small-sized electronic components to suppress cracks may result in the formation of a new curved portion in the substrate body, especially at the design stage of the LED substrate. In the case where a change is made to increase the degree of curvature or an unexpected crack occurs after manufacturing, the solder crack can be dealt with without making a major design change. As described above, as electronic components capable of dealing with solder cracks, not only the above-mentioned LEDs and resistors but also capacitors and connectors, for example, can be used.

(A configuration in which at least a part of the above embodiment is taken as an example)
Next, a configuration in which at least a part of the above-described embodiment or modification is used as an example, a further modification, or the like will be described.

(Circuit configuration of LED board 275 of 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. 21 (A) is a component mounting surface (front surface) on which various surface mount components such as a plurality of LED elements and protective resistors are mounted, and FIG. 21 (B) 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 substrate 275 will be described. The LED substrate 275 has a substantially heart-shaped shape according to 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 spacing between the drive motor 257 for deforming the synthetic rubber decorative body 269 covering the front surface of the movable body 250 and the character member of "LOVE". A large notch 275B for arranging the drive motor 273 of the LED substrate 275 is formed so as to substantially traverse the central portion of the LED substrate 275 in the vertical direction, 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, as shown in FIG. 21, the LED substrate 275 is separated from 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 by the notch 275B, and these first regions are separated from each other. The first region and the second region are significantly narrower than the first region and the second region, and have a special shape that is electrically and mechanically connected by the connection region 275C formed below the notch 275B.

The 275D is an insertion hole for preventing a member projecting forward from the back surface side of the LED substrate 275 from coming into contact with the LED substrate 275.

A large number of LEDs 275A are evenly mounted on the component mounting surface (surface) of the LED substrate 275 over almost the entire surface so that the player can see that the entire decorative body 269 is emitting light. The lighting / extinguishing of the LED 275A is controlled by the LED driving IC 602 mounted in the second region. The LED 275A is also mounted in the connection area 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 (surface) of the LED board 275, not only a large number of LEDs 275A but also a protective resistor for limiting the current supplied to the LED 275A, a diode, a capacitor, and the like are mounted.

The LED drive IC 602 emits not only a large number of LEDs 275A mounted on the component mounting surface (surface) but also each character member of "LOVE" like the LED board 283B of the third character member 283 of "V". The LED boards provided inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 are also connected via a connector to control the lighting / extinguishing of the LEDs mounted on the LED boards. .. Therefore, on the component mounting surface (surface), the connector for connecting to each LED board provided inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284 is also cut out in each of the first region and the second region. The 275Bs are mounted one by one so as to face the horizontally elongated portion.

Further, in the first region, there are two motor drive ICs 601 for driving the drive motors 257 and 273 arranged inside the notch 275B, and two for connecting the drive motors 257 and 273 and the LED substrate 275. The connector CN is mounted.

The motor drive IC 601 mounted in the first region and the LED drive IC 602 mounted in the second region receive the LED 275A by receiving the serial control signal including the operation instruction output from the effect control board 12. Etc. are turned on / off, and the rotation / stop of the drive motors 257 and 273 is controlled.

Further, on the back surface (solder surface) of the connection region 275C, a connector 603 having 13 connection terminals for connecting the LED substrate 275 and the substrate 253 is mounted. In this way, the connector 603 is mounted on the back surface by mounting it on the surface facing the substrate 253 arranged on the rear side of the movable body 250, thereby reducing the wiring length and as described above. This is because the LED 275A is mounted on the component mounting surface (surface) of the connection region 275C, so that the connector 603 cannot be mounted.

The connector 603 can be inserted and removed from the lower side of the LED substrate 275 with a fitting attached to the end of the connecting electric wire in order to facilitate the assembly of the movable body 250 and prevent the movable body 250 from coming off during assembly. It is supposed to be.

By being connected to the board 253 by the connector 603 in this way, the serial control signal output from the effect control board 12 is transmitted to the motor drive IC 601 and the LED drive IC 602 via the board 253 and the connector 603, and the LED board. It is transmitted through the wiring on the 275.

Here, a signal allocation form for each connection terminal in the connector 603 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22 and 23. Note that FIG. 22 is a diagram showing the improved signal allocation form used in this embodiment, and FIG. 23 is a diagram showing the signal allocation form before the improvement.

In FIGS. 22 and 23, the left side of the figure is the mounting part of the connector No. 1 terminal, and the right side of the figure is the mounting part of the connector No. 13 (No. 12 in FIG. 23) terminal. The numbers correspond to the connectors "1" to "13" ("12" in FIG. 23) in the circuit diagrams of FIGS. 22 (B) and 23 (B).

As for the allocation of signals to the terminals of these connectors, as shown in FIG. 23 (B), in the circuit diagram, usually, a control circuit such as an LED having a large number is given priority over a control circuit such as a drive motor. By assigning the signals transmitted to the control circuits such as LEDs to the upper (low number) terminals, the circuit diagram is made so that 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 group the other power signals at the top without interposing other signals between each control signal and assign the other power terminals to the low-numbered terminals. When implemented, it seems that there is no problem on the wiring diagram.

However, when the board is actually manufactured, as shown in FIG. 23A, since the connector 603 is mounted on the back surface of the connection region 275C, it is transmitted to the LED drive IC 602 mounted in the second region. The terminals of the LED drive serial signal pattern wiring L2 and L3 (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) are assigned to the "2" and "3" terminals located on the opposite side of the second area, and further. , The terminals of the motor drive serial signal pattern wirings L5 and L6 (S1TXD, S1SCK) transmitted to the motor drive IC601 mounted in the first region are also assigned to the LED drive serial signal pattern wirings L2 and L3. Since it is assigned to the "5" and "6" terminals that are farther than the "2" and "3" terminals, the length of the wiring pattern on the LED board 275 becomes longer. In addition to being easily affected by noise, the pattern withdrawal direction is set to each serial in order to prevent interference between the LED drive serial signal pattern wiring L2 and L3 and the motor drive serial signal pattern wiring L5 and L6. The pattern becomes complicated, for example, each signal has a different direction. That is, the number of redundant signal pattern wirings increases, and there is a fear that malfunction may occur due to noise or the like generated by these redundant signal pattern wirings.

Therefore, as a feature of the improved signal allocation form, as shown in FIG. 22 (A), the pattern wiring L2 of the motor drive serial signal transmitted to the motor drive IC 601 mounted in the first region , L3 (S1TXD, S1SKK) are assigned to the "2" and "3" terminals near the first area, and are transmitted to the LED drive IC 602 mounted in the second area. The two terminals of the LED drive serial signal pattern wiring L11 and L12 (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) are assigned to the "11" and "12" terminals near the second region. The "1" number closest to the first area and the "13" number closest to the second area are used as the "4" terminal and the "11" terminal adjacent to the "3" terminal. The reason why it is set to "GND" together with the adjacent "10" terminal is to reduce the adverse effect of noise on the pattern wiring L2 and L3 of the motor drive serial signal and the pattern wiring L11 and L12 of the LED drive serial signal. However, when the adverse effect of noise is low, for example, the two terminals of the pattern wiring L2 and L3 of the motor drive serial signal are assigned to the "1" and "2" terminals, and the LED drive serial signal is used. The two terminals may be assigned to the "12" and "13" terminals.

Further, in this embodiment, the terminal between the motor drive serial signal terminal and the LED drive serial signal terminal is assigned to various electric power terminals, whereby the motor drive serial signal and the LED drive serial signal are assigned. The signals are separated by various power terminals, and it is possible to prevent the motor drive serial signal and the LED drive serial signal from interfering with each other.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 22 (B), the VCS (DC5V generated by the power supply IC) for operating the motor drive IC601 and the LED drive IC602 at the terminals "5" and "9" ) Is assigned, LEDs (DC12V generated by the power supply IC) are provided in the terminals "6" and "7", and the terminals "8" are provided inside the first character member 281 to the fourth character member 284. VSL (DC power obtained by rectifying and smoothing AC24V) supplied to the LEDs mounted on each of the LED boards is assigned.

The "5" terminal near the first region of the connector 603, that is, the "5" terminal on the first region side of the connector 603 is the operating power of the motor drive IC 601 mounted in the first region. The power supply pattern wiring for supplying the VCS is connected, and the terminal "9" near the second area of the connector 603 provides the operating power VCS to the LED drive 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 for the power supply pattern wiring.

In this embodiment, although the LED board 275 is a multi-layer board, the wiring pattern for the signal for transmitting the motor drive serial signal and the LED drive serial signal, the terminal No. 5 and the terminal "9" The present invention is not limited to this, although the multi-layer substrate is formed in the same layer as the wiring pattern for power supply to which the terminal number and the like are connected and the power such as VCS is supplied. 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 the adverse effects of noise and the like from the wiring pattern for power supply on the wiring pattern for signals. You may try to do it.

Further, in this embodiment, a form in which a specific electronic component mounted in the connection area 275C is used as a connector is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this, and these specific electronic components are a plurality of specific electronic components. Any one having terminals may be used, and 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 drive serial signals (S1TXD, S1SCK) are assigned and the LED drive serial signals (ASIBADT, ASIBACLK) are assigned. By assigning the "4" and "10" terminals located between the "11" and "12" terminals to the LED, the influence of noise etc. is further reduced. The invention is not limited to this, and GND may not be assigned to the terminals between the terminals to which the motor drive serial signals are assigned and the terminals to which the LED drive serial signals are assigned. ..

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

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

(Board noise countermeasure 1)
For example, in the above-mentioned effect device 200 or the like, electronic components (for example, motor drive IC601, drive motor 257, 273, LED drive IC602, LED275A) in which noise, static electricity, etc. are mounted or connected to the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250. ) Is adversely affected, there is a problem that the electronic components may malfunction.

Therefore, as a noise countermeasure, for example, the boss 844C in the first effect body 800 described with reference to FIGS. 25 to 34 near the substrate 801 is not subjected to plating treatment (or metal vapor deposition) so that the boss 844C is not subjected to plating treatment (or metal vapor deposition). The LED driving IC connected to the front LED 810 and the front LED 810 is prevented from being destroyed by the discharge due to the discharge from the boss 844C to the front LED 810. For example, FIG. 24 shows. When an electronic component such as a front LED 810 (angle LED) is mounted at a position close to the boss 844C as in the present modification 12 shown, an outer peripheral ground X is formed along the outer periphery of the substrate and the periphery of the electronic component is formed. Betagland electrodes Y having a relatively large area are provided so as to surround them, electronic components are mounted inside these Betagland electrodes Y, and these outer peripheral grounds X and the Betagland electrodes Y are connected to one connection point on the substrate 801. For example, by making an electrical connection at one terminal of the board side connector KCN, even if a discharge from the boss 844C occurs, the mounted parts such as the front side LED810 and the LED drive IC are destroyed or malfunction. You may try to prevent it from happening.

In the above-described modification 12, the outer peripheral ground X and the betaland electrode Y are electrically connected at the terminal 1 of the substrate side connector KCN to electrically connect the outer peripheral ground X and the betaland electrode Y. Although the wiring on the mounting board can be reduced, these outer peripheral grounds X and the betaland 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 betaland electrode Y may be electrically connected to another substrate to which the outer peripheral ground X and the betaland electrode Y are connected via the substrate side connector KCN, or the outer peripheral ground X and the betaland electrode Y may have a sufficient area or the like. When the influence of the noise signal is low, the outer peripheral ground X and the betagland electrode Y are electrically connected by not electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the betagland electrode Y. The wiring on the substrate may be reduced.

Further, as described above, the above-described modification 12 may be performed together with measures for not performing plating treatment (or metal vapor deposition) on the boss 844C. That is, both the above-mentioned countermeasures by the outer peripheral ground X and the betaland electrode Y and the countermeasures in which the boss 844C is not plated (or metal vapor deposition) may be implemented, or only one of the countermeasures may be taken. May be good.

When the shape of the substrate 801 can be changed, for example, the boss 844C and the substrate 801 are separated by a sufficient distance (specific distance) that makes it difficult for electric discharge to occur. And may be separated by a specific distance.

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

As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the modification 12 of the present invention, the bosses 844A to 844E of the decorative members 803 as conductive members having at least a part of conductivity and the electronic components (for example, the front LED 810). ~ 812, 813, etc.) are provided as a mounting board 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E are arranged so as to be adjacent to the outer periphery of the board 801. The board 801 is close to the electronic component to be mounted. It has a beta land 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 beta land electrode Y and an end portion of the substrate 801. By doing so, it is possible to reduce malfunctions of the electronic components mounted on the substrate 801.

Further, the outer peripheral ground X and the beta land 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 betta land electrode Y are electrically connected, so that malfunctions of electronic components can be further reduced, and a substrate for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the betta land electrode Y can be obtained. Wiring in 801 can also be reduced.

Further, a substrate-side connector KCN for electrically connecting the substrate 801 to another substrate (for example, an effect control substrate 12) is mounted on the substrate 801. It is electrically connected on the other substrate. By electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the betta land electrode Y in this way, malfunctions of electronic components can be further reduced, and wiring on the substrate 801 for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the betta land electrode Y can be provided. It can be eliminated.

Further, a substrate-side connector KCN for electrically connecting the substrate 801 to another substrate (for example, an effect control substrate 12) is mounted on the substrate 801. It is electrically connected at the board side connector. By electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the betta land electrode Y in this way, malfunctions of electronic components can be further reduced, and wiring on the substrate 801 for electrically connecting the outer peripheral ground X and the betta land electrode Y can be provided. It can be eliminated.

Further, by mounting the front side LED 810 (angle LED) inside the betta land electrode Y, the malfunction of the front side LED 810 (angle LED) can be further reduced.

Further, by providing an insulating member between the substrate 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E, malfunctions of electronic components can be further reduced.

Further, by providing the substrate 801 and the bosses 844A to 844E at a distance by a specific distance, malfunctions of electronic components can be further reduced.

In addition, in this modification 12, an example of the noise countermeasure of the substrate 801 in the first effect body 800 was described, but the conductive member (for example, the surface) so as adjacent to the outer periphery of the LED substrate 275 of the movable body 250 of the said embodiment. When a plated base body 255 or the like is arranged on the LED substrate 275, the LED substrate 275 has a first ground region formed at a position close to the electronic component to be mounted, and the first ground region and the mounting substrate. It may have a second ground region formed between the ends of the LED.

In particular, the conductive member is 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 the wiring from the control means such as the motor drive IC 601 and the LED drive IC 602 is connected, is mounted. When (for example, the base body 255 whose surface is plated) is arranged, the LED substrate 275 has a first ground region formed at a position close to the connector 603, the first ground region, and the LED. By having a second ground region formed between the end portion of the substrate 275, the control by control means such as the motor drive IC601 and the LED drive IC602 connected to the connector 603 by noise is affected. Can be suppressed.

(Structure of the first directing body 800, etc.)

As shown in FIGS. 25 to 27, the first effector 800 has a substrate 801 having a plurality of electronic components and wiring patterns formed on its front and rear surfaces, and a translucent substrate 801 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. It has a rear lens member 804 made of the member, and is formed in a band shape along the lower left edge of the opening formed in the board surface plate when viewed from the front.

A plurality of electronic components including a plurality of front side LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 which are light emitting diodes (light emitting elements) are mounted on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. The front side LEDs 810 to 812 are angle LEDs capable of irradiating light along the front surface 801F in a predetermined direction, and the front side LEDs 813 are LEDs capable of irradiating light toward the front side. In addition to the light emitting diode (light emitting element), the front 801F receives a serial control signal including an operation instruction output from the effect control board 12 to control lighting / extinguishing of each LED or the like. It includes a control means such as an LED drive IC to be performed.

A plurality of electronic components including a plurality of rear side LEDs 820 to 822, which are light emitting diodes (light emitting elements), are mounted on the back surface 801B of the substrate 801. The rear side LEDs 820 and 821 are angle LEDs capable of irradiating light along the back surface 801B toward the right side of the substrate 801 and the rear side LEDs 822 are oriented along the back surface 801B toward the left side side of the substrate 801. It is an angle LED that can irradiate light. Further, on the upper part of the back surface 801B, a board side connector KCN for connecting a plurality of electronic components including the front side LEDs 810 to 812 and the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 mounted on the front side 801F and the back side 801B to the effect control board 12 is provided. Has been done.

Further, notches 824A to 824E for avoiding interference with bosses 844A to 844E and fitting portions 870A to 870E, which will be described later, are formed at predetermined positions on the edge of the substrate 801. Further, various electronic components mounted on the front surface 801F and the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 are mainly connected to the effect control board 12 and are electronic components controlled by the effect control CPU 120.

The front lens member 802 is made 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, a first light emitting unit 830 to 832 formed at a position corresponding to each of the plurality of front LEDs 810 to 812 and a substantially circular front view formed at a position corresponding to each of the plurality of front LEDs 813. The second light emitting unit 833 of the above is formed so as to project forward. The first light emitting unit 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 are formed so as to project forward so that a recess is formed on the back surface. Further, in the vicinity of the edge portion, a plurality of insertion holes 834A to 834E through which the bosses 844A to 844E described later are inserted are formed.

The decorative 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. At positions corresponding to each of the first light emitting unit 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833, an opening 840 to 843 into which each of the first light emitting unit 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 can be inserted is formed. The first light emitting unit 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 can each face forward through the openings 840 to 843.

Cylindrical bosses 844A to 844E as protrusions through which the insertion holes 834A to 834E of the front lens member 802 can be inserted are formed at a plurality of locations on the back surface of the decorative member 803 in the vicinity of the edge so as to project 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 front and back surfaces of the region excluding the front surface of the bosses 844A to 844E are plated (metallized surface treatment) so that the conductive portion 850 (for example, FIG. While the portion indicated by the thick line 32 is formed, the non-conductive portion 851 (for example, the thick line in FIG. 32) is not plated (metallized surface treatment) on the surface region of the bosses 844A to 844E. The part not shown) is formed.

The rear lens member 804 is made 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 for opening the rear LED 820 to the rear side is formed at a position corresponding to the rear LED 820 in the rear lens member 804, and the rear LED 821 is placed on the rear side at a position corresponding to the rear LED 821. An LED opening 861 to be opened is formed, and an LED opening 862 to open the rear LED 822 to the rear side is formed at a position corresponding to the rear LED 822.

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

A plurality of uneven portions are formed along the left and right sides of the rear lens member 804, and the light induced inside the rear lens member 804 is diffused and can be emitted to the outside. Diffuse parts 867L and 867R are formed. Further, 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 for the screws N1 are formed, respectively. 870E is formed. A mounting portion 866 for the vibration detection sensor MG is formed below the rear lens member 804.

As shown in FIGS. 26 and 27, in the first effect body 800 configured in this way, the front lens member 802 and the decorative member 803 are arranged on the front side of the substrate 801 and the rear lens is arranged 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 fitting, the screw N1 attached to the mounting hole 871 from the back side of the rear lens member 804 is screwed into the screw hole formed at the tip of the bosses 844A to 844E to decorate the substrate 801 and the front lens member 802. 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, in a state where the substrate 801 and the front lens member 802, the decorative member 803 and the rear lens member 804 are integrated, the front lens member 802 is a distance from the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. The rear lens member 804 is arranged apart by L1 and 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 toward the front is mounted on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. Therefore, 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. It is locally emitted through the front lens member 802 in the front. In order to avoid this, it is preferable that the front LED 813 and the front lens member 802 are arranged at a distance longer than at least the protrusion length from the front surface 801F of the front LED 813.

On the other hand, an LED capable of emitting light toward the rear is not mounted on the back surface 801B of the substrate 801. Further, by forming LED openings 860 to 862 at positions corresponding to the rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the rear lens member 804, the rear lens member 804 interferes with the rear LEDs 820 to 822. It can be brought closer to the substrate 801 side (see FIG. 29).

Further, by arranging the decorative member 803 on the front surface of the front lens member 802, the region other than the first light emitting unit 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 in the front lens member 802 is covered, so that the first light emission is performed. Only the units 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 are conspicuous.

(Light emitting structure on the front side of the first effect body)
Next, the light emitting structure on the front side of the first effect body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. 28 and 29. FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA of FIG. 25 (A). FIG. 29 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 25 (B).

Since the structures of the first light emitting unit 830 to 832 and the second light emitting unit 833 are almost the same in the light emitting principle except for the shape of the member and the like, in FIG. 28, only the first light emitting unit 831 is used. The description of the first light emitting unit 830 and 832 will be omitted. Further, in FIG. 29, only one of the plurality of second light emitting units 833, the second light emitting unit 833, will be described, and the description of the other second light emitting unit 833 will be omitted.

As shown in FIG. 28, the front LED 811 is arranged slightly to the left of the rear of the first light emitting unit 831. The front LED 811 mainly irradiates light 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, but with respect to the back surface of the first light emitting unit 831 of the front lens member 802. Since they are arranged at a distance L3 apart, that is, close to each other, some light is incident on the front lens member 802. Then, the light incident on the front lens member 802 is guided while being totally reflected inside the front lens member 802, and is projected from the front surface of the first light emitting unit 831 so as to face forward through the opening 841. It is emitted forward. As a result, the first light emitting unit 831 emits light. Since the front surface of the first light emitting portion 831 of the front lens member 802 is formed in an uneven shape, the light inside the front lens member 802 is diffused and emitted forward.

Further, 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 a conductive portion 850 that has been plated, the light induced 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 to emit light from the front side, the light inside the front lens member 802 is likely to be emitted forward.

As shown in FIG. 29, the front LED 813 is a top-type LED that is arranged so as to be able to irradiate 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 unit 833 by the maximum distance L4, most of the light is incident on the back surface of the second light emitting unit 833. Then, the light incident on the front lens member 802 is emitted forward from the front surface of the second light emitting unit 833 that protrudes forward 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, when the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833 are compared, the distance L3 (see FIG. 28) from the front LED 811 to the back surface of the first light emitting unit 831 is from the front LED 813. The distance to the back surface of the second light emitting unit 833 is shorter than the distance L4 (see FIG. 29) (L3 <L4).

Then, in the first light emitting unit 831 in which the distance L3 from the light emitting body to the light emitting portion is short, the front LED 811 is arranged as an angle LED at a position not corresponding to the first light emitting unit 831, and is different from the first light emitting unit 831. In the second light emitting unit 833, where the distance L4 from the light emitting body to the light emitting part is longer than the distance L3, the front LED 813 is used as an 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 cause the second light emitting unit 833 to emit light directly.

That is, the first light emitting unit 831 has a structure that emits light in a direction (forward) orthogonal to the light irradiation direction (left direction) from the front LED 811, whereas the second light emitting unit 833 has a front LED 813. Since the structure is such that the light is emitted in the same direction (forward) as the irradiation direction (forward) of the light from, the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833 provided on the front surface of the decorative member 803 are different light emitting modes. Can be made to emit light at. Further, it is possible to provide the first light emitting unit 831 and the second light emitting unit 833 having different protrusion 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 effector)
Next, the light emitting structure on the back surface side of the first effect body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. 30 to 32. FIG. 30 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line CC of FIG. 25 (B). FIG. 31 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD of FIG. 25 (B). 32A and 32B are a rear view showing a light emitting mode of the first effector, FIG. 32B is a front view showing the positional relationship between the first effector and the second effector, and FIG. 32C is a first effector. It is a schematic plan view which shows the positional relationship between and a 2nd effect body.

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 is housed from the left side to the right side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. Is arranged to irradiate light. Further, on the LED opening 860 side of the peripheral surface of the molding opening 865, an inclined surface portion 825 that gradually inclines backward 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 from between the molding opening 865 and the LED opening 860 on the back surface of the rear lens member 804, and is emitted toward the rear.

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 is housed one by one in each LED opening 861 formed in the rear lens member 804, and is housed from the left side to the right side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. Is arranged to irradiate light. Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 821 is incident on the inside from the right wall surface on the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 861, and the light incident on the inside is directed toward the right side inside the rear lens member 804. After being guided while being totally reflected, it is 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 is housed one by one in each LED opening 862 formed in the rear lens member 804, and is housed from the right side to the left side along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 toward the right side. Is arranged to irradiate light. Therefore, the light emitted from the rear LED 821 is incident on the inside from the left wall surface on the inner peripheral surface of the LED opening 862, and the light incident on the inside is directed toward the left side inside the rear lens member 804. After being guided while being totally reflected, it is emitted from the light diffusing unit 867L.

As shown in FIG. 32 (A), a plurality of rear LED 820s are arranged in the vertical direction at substantially the center positions of the left and right side sides of the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 and a plurality of rear side LEDs 820 are arranged near the right side side of the back surface 801B. The rear LED 821 is arranged in the vertical direction, and a plurality of rear LEDs 822 are arranged in the vertical direction at a position near the left side on 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 diffusing portion 867R emits light. When the rear LED 822 emits light, the light diffusing unit 867L emits light. Since the inclined surface portion 825 and the light diffusing portions 867L and 867R can emit light toward the front-rear surface side and the side along the substrate 801, they are moved not only to the front-rear surface side but also to the effect position side. 2 The effect body 900 can be suitably illuminated (see FIG. 32 (C)).

As shown in FIGS. 32 (B) and 32 (C), in the present embodiment, the second effect body 900 is provided on the back side of the first effect body 800. Specifically, the second effect body 900 has an origin position positioned so as to be superimposed on the back side of the first effect body 800 when viewed from the front by a drive source (not shown), and an effect position diagonally upward to the right from the origin position. It is provided so that it can be moved (operated) between. Further, as shown in FIG. 32 (C), the second effect body 900 is arranged at a position separated from the first effect body 800 by a predetermined distance at the origin position, and when moving to the effect position, the first effect body 900 is first. It is said that it can be moved in the direction along the substrate 801 of the effect body 800.

Therefore, when the second effect body 900 on the back side of the first effect body 800 is at the origin position, the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 provided on the back side of the first effect body 800 are made to emit light to produce the second effect. The front side of the body 900 can be suitably illuminated. Further, even when the second effect body 900 moves to the effect position diagonally upward to the right of the origin position, it can be suitably illuminated by the light from the light diffusing unit 867R.

Further, for example, when the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 are arranged so that light can be irradiated to the back side side in a direction orthogonal to the back surface 801B of the substrate 801, the rear side lens member 804 covers the back surface 801B of the substrate 801. In this case, it is necessary to arrange the rear lens member 804 at a position separated from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 on the rear side, and the front-rear dimension of the second effect body 900 is increased by that amount, as in the present embodiment. The rear side LEDs 820 to 822 are arranged as angle LEDs so as to be irradiated in the direction along the back surface 801B, and the light is reflected rearward by the inclined surface portion 825 of the rear side lens member 804 arranged close to the substrate 801. , The second effect body 900 on the back side can be suitably illuminated while the front-rear dimension of the second effect body 900 is shortened.

(Board noise countermeasure 2)
Next, the antistatic structure of the first effect body 800 will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 to 35. 33A and 33B are a front view of a main part showing a state in which the first effect body is viewed through a game board, and FIG. 33B is a view showing a main part of a substrate. FIG. 34 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE of FIG. 33 (B). FIG. 35 is a diagram showing an antistatic structure as a modification 13 of the present invention.

As shown in FIGS. 33A and 34, a plurality of metal obstacle nails K are provided on the front surface of the board surface plate 2A constituting the game board 2. Each obstacle nail K is erected so as to project forward in a state of being inclined in a predetermined direction with respect to the game board surface by press-fitting into a through hole 2d formed so as to penetrate the board surface plate 2A in the front-rear direction. ..

As shown in FIGS. 1, 33 (A) and 34, the first effect body 800 is on the left side of the game area 10, specifically, the lower left of the opening 2c formed in the board surface 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 surface plate 2A. Therefore, the static electricity generated in the game ball due to some factor may be discharged to the first effect body 800 on the back surface side of the board surface plate 2A through the through hole 2d.

In addition, static electricity is provided on, for example, a gaming board surface of a board surface plate 2A made of an obstacle nail K, an acrylic resin material, an acrylic resin plate provided in place of the glass window 50a, and a board surface plate 2A in which a gaming ball flowing down the game area 10 is provided. Contact with an obstacle or an accessory made of a synthetic resin material, that is, the game ball is charged when flowing down inside the pachinko game machine 1, or the game ball is outside the pachinko game machine 1, for example. It is conceivable that a charged gaming ball enters the pachinko gaming machine 1 while circulating in the gaming island or the like. Further, the normal variable winning ball device 6B, the special variable winning ball device 7, the effect device 200, the second effect body 900, and other movable objects other than the game ball are charged due to friction and the like generated by the operation. It is also possible.

Here, when 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 are plated and the front and back surfaces are conductive portions, the discharged electricity is generated. It is conceivable that the decorative member 803 wraps around from the front surface side to the back surface side (back surface side), and further wraps around to 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 side of the notches 824A to 824E formed in the substrate 801. Electricity wrapping around 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 back surface of the front lens member 802. If there is even a slight gap (not shown) between the periphery of the insertion holes 834A to 834E and the fitting portions 870A to 870E of the rear lens member 804, discharge will occur from the gap to the substrate 801 side.

When the electric discharge is performed on the substrate 801 side in this way, electricity flows through the wiring pattern formed on the surface 800F of the substrate 801 and emits light from the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813 mounted on the surface 800F and the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 815. Problems (for example, inability to emit light, abnormal color development, abnormal light emission control, etc.) occur in the LED drive IC that controls and electronic components such as (control means), and in particular, as shown in FIG. 34, the surface 800F of the substrate 801 There is a possibility that the front LED 810 is discharged directly to the front LED 810 arranged in the vicinity of the boss 844C in the above, and a problem occurs in the front LED 810.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 34, the bosses 844A to 844E protruding toward the substrate 801 have a non-conductive portion 851 whose surface is not plated, so that the rear lens is a rear lens. Since the electricity that wraps around the back surface side of the member 804 is less likely to be discharged to the substrate 801 side via the bosses 844A to 844E that project to the substrate 801 side, problems related to various electronic components mounted on the front surface 800F may occur. It can be suitably suppressed.

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

By doing so, it is possible to prevent the electronic components from being defective 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 discharged to the conductive portion 850 of the decorative member 803 via the conductive obstacle nail K. Since it can be released, it is possible to prevent the game ball from being charged with static electricity. Further, in the decorative member 803, the bosses 844A to 844E project toward the substrate 801 side as compared with other parts, that is, they are close to the substrate 801 but the surfaces of the bosses 844A to 844E are plated. Since the non-conductive portion 851 is formed without being applied, it is preferably suppressed that the electricity that wraps around to the back surface side of the decorative member 803 is discharged to the substrate 801 side via the bosses 844A to 844E.

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

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

Further, the electronic component is a light emitting diode (for example, front side LEDs 810 to 812, 813, etc.). By doing so, it is possible to prevent a problem in light emission. Further, in particular, angle LEDs such as the front side LEDs 810 to 812 can irradiate a member near the edge of the substrate with light, and therefore 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 side LED 810, which is an angle LED, is arranged in the vicinity of the bosses 844A to 844E, it is possible to suppress the discharge of static electricity to the substrate 801 via the bosses 844A to 844E.

Further, the electronic component is a connector (for example, a substrate-side connector KCN or the like). By doing so, it is possible to prevent a defect from occurring not only in the electronic component on the front surface 801F of the substrate 801 on which the connector is mounted but also in the electronic component to which the connector is connected via the connector. 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 run along the mounting surface. Therefore, even in such a case, even when the front side LED 810, which is an angle LED, is arranged in the vicinity of the bosses 844A to 844E, it is possible to suppress the discharge of static electricity to the substrate 801 via the bosses 844A to 844E.

Further, a control means (for example, a conversion IC) for controlling other electronic components including the electronic component is mounted on the substrate 801. By doing so, not only the electronic components mounted on the board 801 but also other electronic components such as, for example, a problem in controlling other electronic components mounted on the other board connected to the board 801 may occur. It is possible to prevent adverse effects on parts.

Further, a front lens member 802 as a non-conductive member is provided between the decorative member 803 and the substrate 801. The front lens member 802 can guide light from the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 815 provided on the substrate 801. It is a light guide member (translucent member).

By doing so, it is possible to suppress the discharge from the decorative member 803 to the substrate 801 by utilizing the front lens member 802, which is a light guide member capable of guiding the light from the front LEDs 810 to 812 and 813.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, as an example of the electronic component, an embodiment in which the front side LEDs 810 to 812 and 815, the rear side LEDs 820 to 822, the substrate side connector KCN, the conversion IC and the like are applied has been exemplified, but the present invention is limited thereto. It includes detection means such as sensors, drive sources such as motors and solenoids, storage means such as ROM and RAM, protection resistors, and various electronic components other than the above such as diodes and capacitors.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, electronic components such as front side LEDs 810 to 812 and 813, rear side LEDs 820 to 822, and board side connector KCN are connected to the effect control board 12, but the present invention illustrates this. It is not limited, and may be connected to a board other than the effect control board 12 (for example, the main board 11) or a control means (for example, CPU 103).

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the form in which the conductive portion 850 is formed by plating 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 decorative member 803 may be formed of a synthetic resin material or the like having conductivity by mixing carbon fibers or the like so that a conductive portion is formed on the surface.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the bosses 844A to 844E into which the screw N1 for integrating the decorative member 803 and the rear lens member 804 covering the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 are screwed are applied as the protruding portion. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and if it is a portion that protrudes from the decorative member 803 toward the substrate 801 side from other parts, the members are integrated as described above. A protruding portion 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 as the protrusions have a protrusion length that passes through the side of the substrate 801 and reaches the back surface 801B side, but the present invention is limited thereto. The projecting portion may project so as to be closer to the substrate 801 than other parts of the decorative member. For example, the projecting portion is the front surface of the decorative member 803 from a position corresponding to the front surface 801F. It may be one that protrudes 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 surface of the bosses 844A to 844E as the protruding portion, but the present invention is not limited to this, and the surface of the protruding portion is not limited to this. As long as the non-conductive portion 851 is formed at least in the portion corresponding to the substrate 801 in the above, the conductive portion 850 may be formed in the other region.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the decorative member 803 exemplifies a form in which the decorative member 803 is arranged close to the back surface side of the board surface 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-described embodiment, the decorative member 803 is arranged so as to cover the front surface 801F of the substrate 801. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the decorative member 803 is the substrate 801. It may be arranged so as to cover the back surface 801B of the.

Further, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 as the embodiment of the present invention, the first effector 800 having the substrate 801 provided with the light emitting body (for example, the rear LED 820 to 822) on the back surface 801B and the substrate 801 A second effect body 900 that can operate on the back surface 801B side of the above is provided, and the second effect body 900 can be irradiated by the light from the rear side LEDs 820 to 822.

By doing so, it is not necessary to mount the substrate 801 or the like on which the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 are mounted on the movable second effect body 900. It becomes possible to produce.

Further, the second effect body 900 can be moved in a direction along the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 (for example, in the left-right direction), and the rear LEDs 820 to 822 irradiate light in the moving direction of the second effect body 900. It is possible. Specifically, when the rear LED 821 emits light, the light diffusing unit 867R emits light, and when the rear LED 822 emits light, the light diffusing unit 867L emits light. Since the inclined surface portion 825 and the light diffusing portions 867L and 867R can emit light toward the back side and the side along the substrate 801, they move from the back side and the origin position to the effect position side diagonally upward to the right. It is possible to preferably illuminate 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, the light can be suitably irradiated.

In the present embodiment, the rear LED 821 emits light from the light diffusing portion 867R on the right side, so that the second effector 900 that has moved from the origin position to the effect position diagonally upward to the right can be suitably 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 side effect position without guiding the rear lens member 804. 2 The effector 900 may be directly illuminated.

Further, a rear lens member 804 as a light guide member having an LED opening 860 to 862 capable of covering at least a part of the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 and accommodating the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 in the covered state is provided. The rear side LEDs 820 to 822 can inject light from the side surface (peripheral wall) of the LED openings 860 to 862 into the inside of the rear lens member 804 in a state of 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 LED 820 to 822, and the rear lens member 804 is arranged 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 the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800 can illuminate the second effect body 900 on the back side, the front-rear dimension between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5 is 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 body 800 and the second effect body 900 can be moved back and forth between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5. Can be arranged so as to overlap with each other.

In the present embodiment, the LED openings 860 to 862 are formed at positions corresponding to the respective rear LEDs 820 to 822 in the rear lens member 804, but the present invention is not limited thereto. Instead, the rear lens member 804 is brought closer to the substrate 801 by forming a recess in the rear lens member 804 that can accommodate the rear LEDs 820 to 822 at a position corresponding to each of the rear LEDs 820 to 822. May be good.

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

By doing so, the light emitted from the rear LED 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 protruding dimension from the back surface 801B of the substrate 801 is a normal LED. It is possible to preferably 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 from the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 incident on the inside from the LED openings 860 to 862.

By doing so, the light emitted from the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 can be circulated around the surroundings to illuminate, so that the effect of the effect can be enhanced.

Further, front LEDs 810 to 812 and 815 different from the rear LEDs 820 to 822 are provided on the front surface 801F opposite to the back surface 801B of the substrate 801.

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

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the second effect body 900 is operably arranged on the back side of the first effect body 800, and the second effect body 900 on the back side is operably arranged by the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800. Although a suitable illuminating form has been illustrated, 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 arranged. ~ 812 and 813 may be used to preferably illuminate the second effect body 900 on the front side.

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

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the embodiment in which the light from the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800 is reflected rearward by the inclined surface portion 825 of the rear lens member 804 to illuminate the second effect body 900 is exemplified. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the rear side LEDs 820 to 822 of the first effect body 800 may be a light emitting body capable of irradiating light toward the back side instead of being an angle LED.

Further, in the above-described embodiment, the rear 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 does not have to be covered by the member 804. Further, in the above-described embodiment, the first effect body 800 is fixed at 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 is not limited to this. The body 800 may be operably provided.

Further, a first effect body 800 having a substrate 801 provided with a light emitting body (for example, rear side LEDs 820 to 822) on the back surface 801B and a second effect body 900 capable of operating on the back surface 801B side of the substrate 801 are provided. In the pachinko gaming machine 1 capable of irradiating the second effect body 900 with the light from the rear side LEDs 820 to 822, for example, the surface on the first effect body 800 side is subjected to a metallized surface treatment such as plating or metal deposition. The second effect body 900 is provided with a projecting portion that projects toward the substrate 801 of the first effect body 800 so that the projecting portion passes near the peripheral edge of the substrate 801 according to the operation of the second effect body 900. In this case, it is preferable to form a non-conductive portion on the surface of the protruding portion. By doing so, the electric discharge from the protruding portion of the second effect body 900 causes a problem 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 body 800. Can be suppressed.

Further, in the substrate 801, a first ground region formed at a position close to an electronic component to be mounted (for example, a back surface 801B) and a first ground region formed between the first ground region and a peripheral edge portion of the substrate 801. It may have two ground regions. By doing so, when the protruding portion 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 on the projecting portion of the second effect body 900 is generated. Even when the electric component is discharged to the substrate 801 of the first effect body 800, 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 substrate 801 of the first effect body 800.

(Modification 13)
Next, a modification 13 of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. 35. 35A and 35B are diagrams showing a wiring connection state between the LED board and the effect control board, and FIG. 35 is a diagram showing a wiring connection state between the LED board and the effect control board as a modification 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 the LED 911 is mounted on one surface as a light emitting body for holding display and decoration. The LED board 910 and the effect control board 12 are connected by a connector via wiring 912. Further, as shown in FIG. 35 (B), a part of the wiring 912 extending from the back side of the LED board 910 and the LED board 910 is covered with a decorative member 913 that opens on the back side. The surface of the decorative member 913 is plated to form a conductive portion 914.

Then, when the periphery of a part of the wiring 912 is covered with the decorative member 913 provided with the conductive portion 914 on the surface, the static electricity charged in the conductive portion 914 is applied to the LED substrate 910 as described above. Since there is a possibility of discharging to the mounting surface 910F of the LED 911 and the LED 911, the front surface side of the LED substrate 910 is covered with a lens member 915 made of a non-conductive member.

Further, since a part of the wiring 912 extending from the back side of the LED board 910 is covered with the conductive portion 914, the static electricity charged in the conductive portion 914 is discharged to the wiring 912, thereby producing the effect control board. Since the LED drive control signal output from 12 is easily affected by noise, the position corresponding to the conductive portion 914 in the wiring 912 is an electrically insulating material such as a tube made of a rubber material made of a non-conductive stop member or the like. By covering with 916, a non-conductive member is arranged between the wiring 912 and the conductive portion 914, so that the LED drive control signal output from the effect control board 12 is less likely to be affected by noise. it can.

(Initialization process of movable body)
Next, the operation of the effect control board 12 will be described. First, the effect control CPU 120 starts executing the main process shown in FIG. 36 when the power is turned on. In the main process, first, the first initialization process (S50) for clearing the RAM area, setting various initial values, and initializing the timer for determining the activation interval (for example, 2 ms) of the effect control. , The 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 effect control CPU 120 shifts to the loop process 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 a command analysis process (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. Then, a process of setting a flag according to the received effect control command is performed.

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

Next, an effect random number update process for updating the count value of the counter for generating an effect random number such as a jackpot symbol determination 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 identifies 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 executed for the first time, the movable body 250 is specified as the target movable body.

Next, it is determined whether or not the movable body specified in S101 is an origin detection target accessory for which it is necessary to perform 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 for which it is necessary to perform the origin detection, and the origin detection sensor is used. The third movable body (not shown) that does not have is not applicable. Therefore, when the movable body specified 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 specified in S101 is the third movable body (not shown). ), It will be determined as "N".

If it is determined to be "N" in S102, the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, if it is determined to be "Y" in S102, the process proceeds to S103 to specify the detection state of the origin detection sensor corresponding to the operation target accessory (S103), and 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 it is not located at the origin position (initial position) (S104; N), the process proceeds to S105, and after setting 0 in the non-detection operation count counter for counting the number of executions of the non-detection operation control. (S105) As the control speed for operating the operation target accessory, the operation target 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. The minimum control speed for operating the accessory is set (S106), and when the drive motor of the accessory to be operated, for example, the accessory to be operated is the movable body 250, the drive motor is started to be driven in the direction of the origin position. (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 origin detection sensor shifts to the detection state, and the non-detection operation period timer shifts to the monitoring state of monitoring whether or not the value corresponds to the upper limit time (S109, S110).

When the operation target accessory is positioned at the origin position (initial position) by driving the drive device (for example, the drive motor) of the operation target accessory in the direction of the origin position, the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. The drive of the movable body drive motor is stopped, and the process proceeds to S130. On the other hand, when the non-detection operation period timer reaches a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, when the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S112 Proceed to, 1 is added to the non-detection operation count counter (S112), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation count counter after the addition reaches the operation error determination count (for example, 3). (S113).

When the value of the non-detection operation count counter reaches the operation error determination count in S113, the drive of the movable body drive motor is stopped, the origin return error of the operation target accessory is stored (S114), and S130. Proceed to. That is, when the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the non-detection operation control, the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later is not executed for the operation target accessory (the relevant operation control). The origin return error is memorized 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 operation count counter at the time of non-detection reaches the operation error determination number in S113, the mode in which the operation target accessory is in the dead end state is illustrated. The second initialization is performed by starting error processing and executing the error processing when the value of the operation count counter at the time of non-detection reaches the operation error determination number in S113. When the processing is interrupted, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 (such as the effect control CPU 120) may not be started (dead end state).

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

On the other hand, if the value of the non-detection operation count counter has not reached the operation error determination count, the operation is performed by stopping the driving of the movable body drive motor, returning to S106, and performing the processes of S106 to S108 again. The operation of moving the target accessory to the origin position at the lowest speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) (operation control at the time of non-detection) is started, and the above-mentioned monitoring states of S109 and S110 are set. Transition.

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

On the other hand, when the determination is "Y" in S104 described above and the process proceeds to S120, 0 is set in the detection operation count counter, the detection operation process data is set (S121a), and the detection operation process timer is set. (S121b). As the timer count of the detection operation process timer, the signal output from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals is the same as the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above. It may be done by counting the number or the like. Further, 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, FIG. The minimum control speed for operating the operation target accessory at the same operation speed as (see FIG. 40) is described (set).

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

In this way, in the detection operation control, the minimum speed based on the minimum control speed set in the detection operation process data, that is, the operation control for actual operation confirmation (long initial) until the detection operation process data is completed. At the minimum speed in the conversion operation control), the operation of temporarily moving away from the origin position (initial position) and returning to the origin position (initial position) from a position away from the origin position (initial position) is performed (see FIG. 39). The position away from the origin position is a position near the origin position, that is, a position where the detected portion of each movable body cannot be detected by each origin sensor, and a predetermined position (detection) closer to the origin position than each effect position. When operating position) is set.

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

When the origin detection sensor is in the detection state, that is, when 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 operation count counter (S126). , 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 operation count counter at the time of detection has reached the operation error determination count, the process proceeds to S128 to store the origin return error of the operation target accessory (S128), and proceeds to S130. That is, when the operation target accessory is not located at the origin position (initial position) in the detection operation control, the operation control for actual operation confirmation described later is not executed for the operation target accessory (the operation). The origin return error is memorized 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 operation count counter at the time of detection reaches the operation error determination number in S127, the embodiment in which the operation target accessory is in the dead end state is illustrated. The second initialization process is performed by starting error processing and executing the error processing when the value of the operation count counter at the time of detection reaches the operation error determination number in S113. By being interrupted, the effect control main process may be interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 may be put into a state in which it does not start (dead end state).

Further, when the operation target accessory is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (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 a process such as invalidating the reception of the detection signal) or preventing the movable body from operating even if the input signal is input.

In S130, which is executed when it is determined as "N" in S102, when it is determined as "Y" in S109, or when it is determined as "Y" in S124, it has not yet been targeted for operation among the movable bodies. It is determined whether or not the remaining movable body exists, and when the remaining movable body does not exist (specifically, when the moving target accessory is the third movable body (not shown)), FIG. 38 Move to the process of performing the operation control for checking the actual operation shown in. On the other hand, when the remaining movable body exists, the process proceeds to S131 to specify the movable body to be operated next, and then returns to S102 to perform the above-mentioned processing after S102 for the specified operation target accessory. Do the same.

When S131 is executed when the movement 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 operation target accessory based on the setting data.

Next, the process shown in FIG. 38 will be described. In S200 shown in FIG. 38, the effect control CPU 120 is a movable body (confirmation target accessory) whose operation is first confirmed based on the setting data, as in the case of S101 described above. (S200). Next, it is determined whether or not there is a memory of the origin return error of the target accessory (S201).

If there is a memory of the origin return error of the accessory to be confirmed, the process proceeds to S220 without executing the processes S202a to S213. By doing so, in the present embodiment, the operation control for confirming the actual operation is not performed for the movable body determined to have the origin return error in the operation control at the time of non-detection and the operation control at the time of detection. ..

On the other hand, if there is no memory of the origin return error of the accessory to be confirmed, the process proceeds to S202a and the process data for confirming the actual operation corresponding to the accessory to be confirmed is set. That is, if the confirmation target accessory is the movable body 250, the process data for confirming the actual operation 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 is set. The confirmation process data is set, and if the accessory to be confirmed is the third movable body (not shown), the actual operation confirmation process data of the third movable body (not shown) is set. 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 effect in the effect.

Next, the timer count of the actual operation confirmation process timer is started (S202b). As the timer count of the process timer for checking the actual operation, a signal output from the CTC initialized in the first initialization process at regular intervals is the same as the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer described above. It may be done by counting the number of.

Then, in the set actual operation confirmation process data, the confirmation target accessory is operated at the control speed set corresponding to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer (S203), and the process data is completed. It is determined whether or not the process data has been completed (S204), and if the process data has not been completed, the process returns to S203 and the accessory to be confirmed is set according to the timer count value of the process timer for confirming the actual operation at that time. Operate 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 accessory to be confirmed can be sequentially changed in chronological order to accelerate or decelerate the same as the control speed set when the movable body is actually operated in the movable body effect. it can.

Then, in the determination of S204, when it is determined that the set actual operation confirmation process data is completed, the driving of the movable body drive motor is stopped, and whether or not the target accessory is the origin target accessory. (S204a). If the target accessory is not the origin detection target accessory, that is, if it is a third movable body (not shown), the process proceeds to S220, and if the target accessory is a third movable body (not shown), the process proceeds 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 effect body 900, whether or not 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 accessory to be confirmed 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 accessory to be confirmed is not located at the origin position (initial position), the above-mentioned non-detection operation control (see FIG. 37) is performed. The process of S206 to S213 is performed in order to position the target accessory at the origin position (initial position).

Specifically, after setting 0 to the non-detection operation count counter for counting the number of executions of the non-detection operation control (S206), the actual operation confirmation operation control (long initialization operation control) is used as the control speed. Set the minimum control speed for operating the operation target accessory at the same operation speed as the minimum speed in (S207), and drive the drive device of the confirmation target accessory, for example, if the confirmation target accessory is the movable body 250. The motor is started to be driven in the direction of the origin position (initial position) (S208), and the timer count of the non-detection operation period timer is started (S209).

Then, the origin detection sensor shifts to the detection state, and the non-detection operation period timer shifts to the monitoring state of monitoring whether or not the value corresponds to the upper limit time (S210, S211).

When the target accessory is positioned at the origin position (initial position) by driving the drive device (for example, the drive motor) of the target accessory in the direction of the origin position (initial position) and the origin detection sensor is in the detection state. Is determined to be "Y" in S210 and proceeds to S220. On the other hand, when the non-detection operation period timer reaches a value corresponding to the upper limit time, that is, when the confirmation target object is not located at the origin position (initial position) even after the upper limit time has elapsed, S212 Proceed to, 1 is added to the non-detection operation count counter (S212), and it is determined whether or not the value of the non-detection operation count counter after the addition reaches the operation error determination count (for example, 3). (S213).

If the value of the non-detection operation count counter has reached the operation error determination count, the process proceeds to S220. In the present embodiment, when the value of the operation count counter at the time of non-detection reaches the operation error determination number in S213, the mode in which the operation target accessory is in the dead end state is illustrated. Not limited to this, when the value of the operation count counter at the time of non-detection reaches the operation error determination number in S213, the origin return error of the operation target accessory is stored, and the operation target accessory is 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, so that the effect control main process is interrupted without proceeding to S52, and the effect control board 12 is not started. (Dead end state) may be set.

Further, when the operation target accessory is in the dead end state, the effect control board 12 (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 a process such as invalidating the reception of the detection signal) or preventing the movable body from operating even if the input signal is input.

On the other hand, if the value of the operation count counter at the time of non-detection has not reached the operation error determination count, the process returns to S207 and the processing of S207, S208, and S209 is performed again to confirm the actual operation of the accessory to be confirmed. The operation of moving to the origin position (initial position) at the lowest speed in the operation control (long initialization operation control) (operation at the time of returning to the origin) is started, and the state 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 of repeatedly moving the target accessory to the origin position (initial position) (operation control at the time of non-detection) is executed until the number of operation error determinations is reached. If the target accessory is detected at the origin position (initial position) during the process, the process proceeds to S220.

In S220 to be executed when it is determined as "Y" in S201, when it is determined as "N" in S204a, when it is determined as "Y" in S205, or when it is determined as "Y" in S210. , It is determined whether or not there is a remaining movable body among the movable bodies that has not yet been confirmed for operation confirmation, and if the remaining movable body does not exist (specifically, the target accessory for operation confirmation is the first. In the case of 3 movable bodies (not shown), the error record stored in S114 or S128 is cleared (S222), and the process is terminated. On the other hand, if the remaining movable bodies are present, S221 After identifying the movable body whose operation is to be confirmed next, 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 the control content of the movable body by executing the second initialization process shown in FIGS. 37 and 38 will be described with reference to FIGS. 39 and 40. FIG. 39 is a schematic explanatory view showing operation modes of non-detection operation control, detection operation control, and actual operation confirmation operation control performed by the effect control CPU 120. 40A and 40B are explanatory views showing the control speed in the operation control for confirming the actual operation, FIG. 40B is an explanatory diagram showing the control speed in the operation control during detection, and FIG. 40C is the control speed in the operation control during non-detection. It is explanatory drawing which shows.

In addition, in FIGS. 39 and 40, the non-detection operation control (short initialization operation control) and the detection operation control (short initialization operation control) of the movable body 250 and the second effect body 900, which are the origin detection target objects, are shown. ) And the operation control for confirming the actual operation (long initialization operation control), and the description of the third movable body (not shown) that is not the origin detection target accessory will be omitted. Further, although the reciprocating operating distance (rotation range) of the first movable portion 302 of the movable body 250 and the reciprocating operating distance (moving range) of the second movable portions 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900 are not the same, For convenience of explanation, the same conceptual diagram will be used for explanation.

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 (retracted position, initial position) and the effect position, respectively. It is provided so that it can be operated, and the forward operation from the origin position to the effect position and the return operation from the effect position to the origin position are considered to be actual operations actually performed in the above-mentioned movable body effect.

The effect control CPU 120 has an origin when the detected portion of the movable body is not detected by the origin detection sensor when the second initialization process is executed, that is, when the movable body is transported or installed on a game island for some reason (for example, when the movable body is installed on a game island). If it has moved from the position, or if the origin cannot be returned during the previous operation (for example, when the effect is executed, the origin return of the movable body cannot be confirmed or can be operated due to motor step-out, failure, catching, etc.) Corresponds to the non-detection operation control in FIG. 39 due to a position other than the origin position (for example, when an accessory error (operation abnormality) such as disappearance occurs) or when the game machine moves from the origin position due to vibration of the game machine. If it is at a predetermined position between the origin position and the effect position, such as the position indicated by the black circle), the non-detection operation control for returning to the origin is executed. When this non-detection motion control is executed, since the movable body is located at a position away from the origin position, the motion is limited to the motion of moving the movable body in the direction of the origin position.

Further, in the effect control CPU 120, when the second initialization process is executed, the detected portions of the first movable portion 302 of the movable body 250 and the second movable portions 401 and 402 of the second effect body 900 are detected by the origin detection sensor. If it is 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 determined between the time when the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor and the time when the movement of the movable body in the origin position direction is restricted. When the operable range (for example, play) is set, the origin may be returned and the vehicle may stop at a position further backward from the position detected by the origin detection sensor. Therefore, even if the detected portion is detected by the origin detection sensor, the operation control at the time of detection is performed to return the movable body to the more accurate origin position.

In this detection operation control, it is necessary to move the movable body to a position away from the origin position and then return it to the origin position in order to temporarily release the detection state of the detected portion by the origin detection sensor. Since it is not necessary to move the movable body, the movable body is moved from the origin position to the detection operating 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).

Further, the effect control CPU 120 executes the actual operation confirmation operation control after executing the non-detection time operation control or the detection time operation control in the second initialization process. The operation control for confirming the actual operation is the same 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 are compared. The speeds shown in FIGS. 40 (A), 40 (B), and 40 (C) are control speeds set by the effect control CPU 120 to operate each movable body, and are actual movements of the movable body. It is different from the operating speed of. That is, for example, when operating a predetermined movable body, even if the same control speed is set for one moving section and another moving section between the origin position and the effect position, one moving section and another The movable body was actually operated when the mode was different between the moving sections (for example, a section with and without a spring, a straight section and a curved section), and when the moving section was raised and lowered even in the same moving section. The operating speed in the case may differ from the control speed. Even if the same control speed is set for the movable body, if there are differences in the size, weight, operating mode, operating distance, driving mechanism, etc. of each movable body, the actual operating speed of each movable body is not always the same. Not the same. When operating multiple movable bodies with stepping motors of the same performance, even if the same control speed is set for each movable body, the size, weight, operating mode, operating distance, driving mechanism, etc. of each movable body, etc. If there is a difference, the actual operating speeds of each movable body will not necessarily be the same.

As shown in FIG. 40 (A), when the effect control CPU 120 executes the actual operation confirmation operation control, the set actual operation confirmation process data corresponds to the timer count value of the actual operation confirmation process timer. Operate the accessory to be confirmed based on the set control speed. Specifically, it controls to accelerate from the origin position and then decelerate to stop at the effect position, and to accelerate from the effect position and then decelerate to stop at the origin position. That is, in the actual operation confirmation operation control 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 effect position. Let me. That is, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the movable body effect of each movable body, the range is the range between the minimum speed (low speed) which is the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed which is faster than the minimum speed. Since each movable body is controlled to operate at the speed within, even when the operation control for actual operation confirmation is executed, the minimum speed (low speed) which is the first speed and the second speed which is faster than the minimum speed are set. Control each movable body 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 operating speeds of the movable body, and the control speed is set so as to be the minimum speed or the maximum speed as the operating speed. Will be. In the following, it is assumed that when the movable body is operated based on the minimum control speed, it operates at the minimum speed, and when the movable body is operated based on the maximum control speed, it operates at the maximum 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 operation control for confirming the actual operation. In addition, when returning to the origin position after moving to the effect position, the movable body is ensured by controlling so as to be the lowest speed in the operation control for actual operation check for a longer time than when stopping at the effect position. After decelerating to, the origin detection sensor detects the detected part.

As shown in FIG. 40 (B), when executing the operation control at the time of detection, the effect control CPU 120 always confirms the actual operation during the period of moving from the origin position to the effect position and the period of moving from the effect position to the origin position. The movable body is controlled to operate at the lowest speed (first speed) in the operation control. That is, the effect control CPU 120 has a speed in which the maximum speed in the detection operation control as the first operation control is equal to or less than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (in the present embodiment, the actual operation). The moving body is always controlled to operate based on the lowest minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control so as to be the same as the minimum speed in the confirmation operation control).

Further, in the case of the motion control at the time of detection, the motion distance of the movable body is shorter than that of the motion control for the actual motion check. Check the actual operation because the sensor may not be able to detect the detected part reliably, or the movable body may be damaged by the impact when the movable body returns to the origin position and the movement is restricted from a short distance. Control to operate at the lowest speed in the operation control.

Further, as shown in FIG. 40 (C), when the effect control CPU 120 executes 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 to operate at the lowest speed (first speed) in the operation control for actual operation confirmation. That is, the effect control CPU 120 has a maximum speed (maximum operation speed) in the non-detection operation control as the first operation control, which is equal to or less than the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control as the second operation control (this implementation). In the form of, the movable body is always operated based on the lowest minimum control speed set in the actual operation confirmation operation control so as to be the same speed as the minimum speed in the actual operation confirmation operation control). Control to make it.

In this case, since it is unknown how far the movable body is from the origin position, if the movable body is located near the origin position, the control speed when accelerating in the operation control for actual operation confirmation In other words, when operated at high speed, when the movable body returns to the origin position, the origin detection sensor cannot reliably detect the detected part, or the movable body returns to the origin position from a short distance and movement is restricted. Since there is a risk that the movable body or the like may be damaged by the impact at that time, the operation is controlled so as to operate at the minimum speed in the operation control for confirming the actual operation.

As described above, in the present embodiment, when the effect control CPU 120 executes the non-detection operation control or the detection 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) operating speed. Since these minimum speeds are the minimum speeds in the actual operation confirmation motion control corresponding to each movable body and are not the operation speeds common to each movable body, the minimum speeds in each movable body may be different.

Specifically, since the movable body 250 and the second effect body 900 are different in size, weight, operating mode, operating distance, and driving mechanism including the driving 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 each movable body, the actual operating speeds of the movable bodies are different. In this way, the minimum speed is the operation speed based on the control speed set for each movable body, and in order to control the operation so as to operate at the optimum minimum speed for the movable body, a plurality of movable bodies having different modes can be used. It is possible to reliably detect at the origin position.

As the third operation control, the CPU 120 can perform a period during which the variable display of the symbol is executed, a control for executing the movable body effect in the jackpot game state, and the like).
In the second operation control, the movable body is controlled to operate within a range of the first speed and the second speed faster than the first speed (for example, the effect control CPU 120 is for checking the actual operation. When the motion control is executed, the movable body is controlled to operate at a speed within a range of the minimum speed (low speed) which is the first speed and the maximum speed (high speed) as the second speed which is faster than the minimum speed. .),
In the first operation control, the movable body is controlled to operate at a speed equal to or lower than the first speed in the second operation control (for example, when the effect control CPU 120 does not detect as the first operation control). When executing the motion control or the motion control at the time of detection, the speed equal to or less than the minimum speed in the actual motion check motion control as the second motion control (in the present embodiment, the same speed as the minimum speed in the actual motion check motion control). The part that controls the movement of the movable body)
It is characterized by that.
According to this feature, in the first motion control, the movable body operates at a speed at which it can be stopped at any timing, so that it can be safely positioned at the origin position.

When supplied, the function can be normally exerted, 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 converted into LEDs. It is possible to output to the drive circuits 1 and 2. When the power supply VCS 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.

Then, the right side LED 57c is turned on by using the power supply VDC.

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

Further, 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 VCS via the noise reduction circuit 1. The noise reduction circuit 1 is composed of a plurality of diodes, and the diodes are connected so that a 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 VCS side. ing. When the power supply VCS is normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, 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 VCS side in the noise reduction circuit 1. When such noise occurs, a 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 VCS side, so that the signal line of the serial control signal 1 and the signal line of the clock signal 1 become. The generated noise is emitted to the power supply VCS side and removed.

In the shielding unit control board 57d, among the signal lines of the control signals connected via the connector 57e, the signal line of the serial control signal 2 and the signal line of the clock signal 2 are connected to the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2.

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 connected to the motor drive circuits 1 to 4. Can be output. When the power supply VCS is not supplied, the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 does not operate and is in a stopped state, 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 each of the excitation phases of the first phase to the fourth phase of the shielding member operation motor 57a, and the power supply VDC is connected to each excitation phase. By inputting the excitation signals 1 to 4 to excite the engine, the corresponding excitation phase is excited by using the power supply VDC. The excitation phases of the first phase to the fourth phase are arranged in a predetermined order (for example, along the rotation direction of the shielding member operating motor 57a, the fourth phase, the first phase, and the first phase by the signal lines of the excitation signals 1 to 4. , Phase 1 and Phase 2, Phase 2, Phase 2 and Phase 3, Phase 3, Phase 3 and Phase 4, Phase 4, Phase 4, Phase 1, ..., etc. ), The shielding member operating motor 57a is driven in a predetermined mode.

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

Further, each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 is connected to the power supply line VCS via the pull-up resistor 2. As a result, when the power supply VCS is supplied, each signal line of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 is pulled up to a predetermined voltage in the same manner as the parallel control signals 1 and 2 described above.

Further, 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 VCS via the noise reduction circuit 2. The noise removing circuit 2 has the same configuration as the noise removing circuit 1 described above, and when the power supply VCS is normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, the noise removing circuit 2 has a signal line of the serial control signal 2. And when noise occurs such that the voltage of the signal line of the clock signal 2 becomes higher than the voltage of the power supply line VCS side, a 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 VCS 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 emitted to the power supply VCS side and removed.

As described above, in the shielding unit control board 57d of the present modification, the power supply lines VCS1 and VCS2 branched from the power supply line VCS before being connected to the shielding unit control board 57d are connected to different terminals in the connector 57e, respectively. ing. That is, the power supply line VCS for operating the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 and the like is connected to the shielding unit control board 57d using two wirings and two terminals of the connector 57e.

The connector 57e includes a plurality of terminals, a signal line such as a serial control signal 1 is connected to a terminal group on one end side, and a power line such as a power supply line VCS1 or VCS2 is connected to a terminal group on the other end side. The power supply line VCS1 is connected to the terminal on one end side of the terminal group to which the power supply line is connected, and the power supply line VCS2 is connected to the terminal on the other end side.

The power supply lines VCS1 and 2 connected via the connector 57e are integrated into the power supply line VCS on the shielding unit control board 57d, and the light emitting diode 57f is connected to the integrated power supply line VCS to control the shielding unit. When the power supply VCS is supplied to the substrate 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 to indicate that the power supply VCS is supplied. Can be recognized.

In the shielding unit control board 57d, the power supply line VCS connected via the connector 57e is connected to each circuit or element such as serial / parallel conversion circuits 1 and 2, noise elimination circuits 1 and 2, and pull-up resistors 1 and 2. By supplying a predetermined power supply (5V) by the power supply line VCS, the circuits such as the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 are in a state where they can normally function, and the shielding unit control board 57d is supplied from the effect control CPU 120. Based on the serial control signals 1 and 2 output to the above, the shielding member operating motor 57a, the left side LED 57b, and the right side LED 57c connected to the shielding unit control board 57d can be operated.

The noise reduction 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 VCS, and the signal of the control signal is connected via the noise removal circuit 1. The wire is connected to the wiring of the power supply VCS. Further, the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 are input to each signal line at the voltage supplied from the effect control board 12, and the effect control board is on the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 1. A voltage corresponding to the output state of the signal from 12 is supplied. That is, the control signal side of the noise reduction circuit 1 has a predetermined High voltage when the signal is transmitted by the serial control signal 2, and a predetermined Low voltage when the signal is not transmitted. With the voltage changing to and the serial control signal 2, a voltage changing within a predetermined High voltage and a predetermined Low voltage range is applied in a predetermined cycle regardless of whether or not the signal is transmitted. .. Then, when the power supply VCS is not normally supplied to the noise removing circuit 1, the voltage applied to the noise removing circuit 1 due to the input of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 is a capacitance component in the noise removing circuit 1. By leveling with the voltage component and the inductance component, the voltage is output to the wiring side of the power supply VCS of the noise elimination circuit 1 at a substantially constant voltage. In such a case, an unintended voltage is applied to each of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 connected to the wiring of the power supply VCS via the pull-up resistor.

Further, the noise elimination 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 VCS, and the signal of the control signal is connected via the noise elimination circuit 2. The wire is connected to the wiring of the power supply VCS. Further, the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 are input to each signal line at the voltage supplied from the effect control board 12, and the effect control board is on the control signal side of the noise removal circuit 2. A voltage corresponding to the output state of the signal from 12 is supplied. That is, the control signal side of the noise reduction circuit 2 has a predetermined High voltage when the signal is transmitted by the serial control signal 2, and a predetermined Low voltage when the signal is not transmitted. With the voltage changing to and the serial control signal 2, a voltage changing within a predetermined High voltage and a predetermined Low voltage range is applied in a predetermined cycle regardless of whether or not the signal is transmitted. .. Then, when the power supply VCS is not normally supplied to the noise removing circuit 2, the voltage applied to the noise removing circuit 2 due to the input of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 is a capacitance component in the noise removing circuit 2. By leveling with the voltage component and the inductance component, the voltage is output to the wiring side of the power supply VCS of the noise elimination circuit 1 at a substantially constant voltage. In such a case, an unintended voltage is applied to each of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 connected to the wiring of the power supply VCS via the pull-up resistor.

Then, the voltage output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 to the wiring side of the power supply VCS with the input of the serial control signal 2 and the clock signal 2 is a sufficiently high voltage (LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and motor drive circuits 1 and 2). When the parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in 4 and the voltage is equal to or higher than the threshold voltage of the voltage determined to be ON), the serial / parallel conversion circuits 1 and 2 output the parallel control signals 1 to 6. Despite the absence, the voltage output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 acts as parallel control signals 1 and 2 to operate the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 so as to light the left LED 57b and the right LED 57c. There is a risk that the motor drive circuits 1 to 4 may be operated so as to act as parallel control signals 3 to 6 to simultaneously excite each exciting phase 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 side LED 57b, and the right side LED 57c, the effect control board. Since it is a signal that is continuously output from 12 to the shielding unit control board 57d, the LED drive circuit 1 and the LED drive circuit 1 and the voltage that are output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2 with the input of the clock signals 1 and 2 are used. There is a possibility that drive signals 1 and 2 may be output from 2 or excitation signals 1 to 4 may be output from motor drive circuits 1 to 4. That is, if the power supply VCS is not normally supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d, the shielding member operating motor 57a, the left side LED 57b, and the right side LED 57c may be operated unintentionally.

Some conventional game machines are provided with a conversion circuit that converts a control signal output from a control board into a drive signal, and are configured to 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 for a circuit for removing noise of a control signal or a circuit for generating a drive signal. In such a case, the power supply line is disconnected. If 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 though it has not been done, the electrical parts will operate.

On the other hand, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present modification, the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 input from the signal line (first signal line) of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1 are converted into the parallel control signal 1. It is input from the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 that converts to 2 and 2 and outputs to the signal lines (second signal line) of the parallel control signals 1 and 2, respectively, and the signal line (second signal line) of the parallel control signal 1. LED drive circuit 1 that lights the left LED 57b in response to the parallel control signal 1 and LED drive that lights the right LED 57c in response to the parallel control signal 2 input from the signal line (second signal line) of the parallel control signal 2. A circuit 2 is provided, and a power supply VCS for operating the conversion circuit is connected to the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1, and the power supply VCS is a signal line of a serial control signal 1 and a clock signal 1 (No. 1).

(Modification 15)
Next, a modification 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 above-described modification 14, the differences will be mainly described here.

In the modified example 14, the power supply VCS is supplied to the shielding unit control board 57d via the two power supply lines VCS1 and VCS2. However, in the modified example 15, as shown in FIG. 42, the shielding unit is supplied. The power supply VCS is supplied to the control board 57d via one power supply line, and the power supply VCS side of the pull-up resistance 1 of the signal lines of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 output by the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 The parallel control signal 3 output by the serial / parallel conversion circuit 2 and the turn-around prevention circuit 1 that prevents the current from flowing into the signal line side of the parallel control signals 1 and 2 and the application of the voltage from the power supply VCS side. On the power supply VCS side of the pull-up resistance 2 of the signal lines of ~ 6, the wraparound prevention circuit 2 for preventing the current from flowing from the power supply VCS side to the signal line side of the parallel control signals 3 to 6 and the shielding unit control. The configuration is further provided on the substrate 57d.

As shown in FIG. 42, one end of the wraparound prevention circuit 1 is 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, and the wraparound prevention circuit 1 is connected to the signal line of the parallel control signal 2. The other end side is connected to the wiring of the power supply line VCS. The turn-around prevention circuit 1 is configured by using a Zener diode or the like, and is connected to the power supply line VCS side and the pull-up resistor via the Zener diode or the like so that no current flows from the power supply line VCS side to the pull-up resistor 1 side. One side is connected. In the turn-around prevention circuit 1, it is determined that the voltage on the wiring side of the power supply line VCS is in 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. When the voltage exceeds the voltage threshold, that is, when the voltage is a predetermined voltage (voltage of the power supply VCS (5V)), the voltage of the power supply VCS is applied to the pull-up resistor 1 side, while the voltage of the power supply line VCS is applied to the wiring side. When the voltage is equal to or less than a predetermined threshold (voltage threshold for determining the ON state in which parallel control signals 1 to 6 are input in the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 and the motor drive circuits 1 to 4), for example, the power supply line VCS. When the power supply VCS is not normally supplied to the wiring side and the voltage associated with the input of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2 is output from the noise elimination circuits 1 and 2, the voltage is applied. It is designed so that it is not applied to the pull-up resistor 1 side.

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

As described above, in the shielding unit control board 57d of the present modification, the pull-up resistor 1 and the power supply line VCS are connected via the turn-around prevention circuit 1, so that the power supply VCS is not supplied. The current discharged from the noise reduction circuits 1 and 2 to the power supply line VCS side flows around the pull-up resistor 1 side, that is, the signal line of the parallel control signal 1 and the signal line of the parallel control signal 2 from the power supply line VCS side. The voltage associated with the inputs of the serial control signals 1 and 2 and the clock signals 1 and 2 is the voltage output from the noise removal circuits 1 and 2, and the voltage is the signal line and parallel control signal of the parallel control signal 1 on the pull-up resistor 1 side. It is designed to prevent it from being applied to the signal line of 2.

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

The serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 that outputs to the signal lines (second signal line) of the parallel control signals 1 and 2, respectively, and the parallel control signal 1 that is input from the signal line (second signal line) of the parallel control signal 1. The LED drive circuit 1 that lights the left LED 57b according to the above, and the LED drive circuit 2 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. A power supply VCS for operating the conversion circuit is connected to the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1, and the power supply VCS is a signal line (first signal line) of the serial control signal 1 and the clock signal 1. It is connected to the noise removal circuit 1 for removing noise and the pull-up resistor 1 that pulls up the voltage of the signal lines (second signal line) of the parallel control signals 1 and 2, and is connected to the noise removal circuit 1 to the second signal. It is configured to include a turn-around prevention circuit 1 capable of preventing a current from flowing to the wire. In such a configuration, in a configuration in which the power supply VCS for operating the serial / parallel conversion circuit 1 is connected to the noise removing circuit 1 of the first signal line and the pull-up resistor 1 of the second signal line, the noise removing circuit It is equipped with a turn-around prevention circuit 1 that can prevent current from flowing from the 1st to the 2nd signal line, and even if the supply of the power supply VCS is stopped, the current may flow from the noise removal circuit 1 to the 2nd signal line. Since this is prevented, current does not flow into the LED drive circuits 1 and 2 connected to the second signal line, and it is possible to prevent the left LED 57b and the right LED 57c from operating unintentionally.
