The same optical signal is transmitted from 1 and the rotary coupler 15
The one receiving phototransistor 22 of the rotating unit 17 sequentially rotates to perform the light receiving operation on the LEDs 18, 19, 20, and 21, so that the light signals individually received by the LEDs 18 to 21 are combined. In this state, a series of optical signals are received by the rotating unit 17.

The display data address consisting of the optical signal transferred to the rotating portion 17 of the rotary coupler 15 is digitized again by the optical signal control means 73 and input to the CPU 71 for display control. During this time, the CPU 71
The reference position detection operation of the rotating portion 17 of the rotary coupler 15 with respect to the fixed portion 16 of the rotary coupler 15 is performed. Since the pulse motor M1 is rotating at a constant speed,
The display control CPU 55 detects each rotational position of the display bodies 10a to 10d by the rotational operation time based on the timing of the reference position detection operation.

When the display data address digitized by the optical signal control means 73 is input, the display control CPU 55 displays the left symbol display portion 28a of the group display body 10A in accordance with the display data address. Data, display data of the middle symbol display portion 28b, right symbol display portion 2

The display bodies 10a to 10d are driven to light at a predetermined lighting position by selecting from 9 and outputting a control signal corresponding to display data to the light emitting diode driver selected corresponding to the lighting position.

15 to 16 show a CPU for display control.
71 is a main routine showing an outline of a display control process executed by 71. When the power is turned on, the CPU 71 performs initialization processing to initialize the registers and flags necessary for the following processing (step S01), and then proceeds to step S02 to receive a position detection signal by the position detection phototransistor 24 receiving light. Is input (step S02), the process proceeds to step S03, and it is determined whether or not a position detection signal is input (step S03).

The CPU 71 repeats the processing loop of step S02 and step S03 again if the position detection signal due to the light reception of the position detection phototransistor 24 is not detected. Position detection phototransistor 24
When the position detection signal due to the reception of light is detected, that is, when the reference position of the rotating portion 17 with respect to the fixed portion 16 is detected,
The CPU 71 initializes the rotation operation time for determining whether or not the current position of the rotating display bodies 10a to 10d is the lighting start position of the light emitting diode 14 through the processing of steps S04 to S07.

As shown in FIG. 14, the group display 10
The rotational movement time t1 (90 ° rotation time) required for the display body 10a of A to reach the lighting start position P1 from the reference position,
Rotational movement time t2 (2) until the display body 10b of the group display body 10A reaches the lighting start position P1 from the reference position.
70 ° rotation time) and display body 1 of group display body 10B

Each of t4 (360 ° rotation time) is set in the timers T1 to T4 by the CPU 55 when the reference position is detected (step S0).
4 to step S07).

After the processing of step S07, the CPU 71
The process shifts to step S08, and the input of the reset signal output from the clock reset circuit 80 at every predetermined cycle is awaited (step S08).

When the reset signal is input from the clock reset circuit 80, the CPU 71 proceeds to step S09 and performs the timer processing on the timers T1 to T4.

17 to 18 are flowcharts showing a subroutine of timer processing. The values set in the timers T1 to T4 when the reference position is detected have a relationship of T1 <T3 <T2 <T4, as shown in FIG. The timer process is a process that is performed in a predetermined cycle each time a reset signal is input.

First, the display 10 of the group display 10A
The processing relating to the timer T1 in which the rotational movement time of a is set will be described. The CPU 71 determines whether the value of the timer T1 is 0 (step A01). Since the rotational movement time t1 has been set in the timer T1, the process moves to step A02 and the value of the timer T1 is decremented by 1 (step A02), and the process moves to step A03 and the value of the timer T1 immediately after the subtraction becomes 0. Whether or not, that is, timer T1
It is determined whether or not the time is up (step A03).
If the timer T1 has not timed out, the CPU 71 shifts to the processing relating to the timer T2 in step A05.

When it is determined that the value of the timer T1 immediately after the subtraction is 0 and the time is up in the determination processing of step A03, the display unit 10 of the group display unit 10A is displayed.
Execution flag F1 regarding lighting of the light emitting diode 14 of a
Is set (step A04), and the process proceeds to step A05 regarding the timer T2.

Since the value of the timer T1 is held at 0 in the processing relating to the timer T1 performed in the next cycle after the timer T1 times out, the processing of steps A02 to A04 is not substantially performed, and the processing of step A05 is not performed. Then, the processing shifts to the processing relating to timer T2.

The display 10b of the next group display 10A
The processing relating to the timer T2 in which the rotation movement time is set is performed by the same algorithm as the processing of the timer T1 described above, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. Note that step A07
When it is determined that the value of the timer T2 immediately after the subtraction is 0 and the time is up in the determination process of step S1, the execution flag F2 regarding the lighting of the light emitting diode 14 of the display body 10b of the group display body 10A is set. (Step A
08).

Further, the processing related to the timer T3 in which the rotational movement time of the display body 10c of the group display body 10B following the processing of the timer T2 is set is performed by the same algorithm as the processing of the timer T1 described above.
Description is omitted. In addition, in the determination process of step A11,
When the value of the timer T3 immediately after the subtraction is 0 and it is determined that the time is up, the execution flag F3 regarding the lighting of the light emitting diode 14 of the display body 10c of the group display body 10B is set (step A12). ).

The processing relating to the timer T4 in which the rotational movement time of the display body 10d of the group display body 10B is set will be described. The CPU 71 determines whether the value of the timer T4 is 0 (step A13), and the timer T4 is 0.
If not, the process proceeds to step A14, the value of the timer T4 is decremented by 1 (step A14), and the process proceeds to step A15, and it is determined whether or not the value of the timer T4 immediately after the subtraction becomes 0, that is, the time of the timer T4. It is determined whether or not it is up (step A15). If the timer T4 has not timed out, the CPU 71 ends the timer processing and returns to the main routine.

When it is determined that the value of the timer T4 immediately after the subtraction is 0 and the time is up in the determination processing of step A15, the display 10 of the group display 10B is displayed.
Execution flag F4 regarding lighting of the light emitting diode 14 of d
Is set (step A16). Next, as shown in FIG. 14, when the rotational movement time t4 set in the timer T4 elapses, the rotating portion 17 of the rotary coupler 15 makes one rotation and returns to the reference position.
Similarly to steps S04 to S07 described above, the timer 71 uses rotation operation times t1 to t4 for determining whether or not the current position of the rotating display bodies 10a to 10d is the lighting start position of the light emitting diode 14, respectively. The setting is reset to T1 to T4 (steps A17 to A20), the timer processing is ended, and the process returns to the main routine.

When the CPU 71 finishes the timer processing and returns to the main routine, the CPU 71 inputs the display address sent from the CPU 55 of the pachinko gaming machine (step S1).
0), and then the process proceeds to step S11 and subsequent steps.

The processing after step S11 is shown in FIG.
This will be described with reference to FIG.

Assuming that the current positions of the display bodies 10a to 10d are the reference positions of FIG. 14, the rotating display body 10 is shown.
Since the rotation operation times t1 to t4 for determining whether or not the current position of a to 10d is the lighting start position of the light emitting diode 14 are set in the timers T1 to T4, respectively, the execution flags F1 to F4 by the timer processing are set. Since it has not been set yet, the CPU 71 determines that all of step S11, step S12, step S13, and step S14 are false, shifts to step S19, and resets output from the clock reset circuit 80 every predetermined cycle. It waits for the input of a signal (step S19). When a reset signal is input from the clock reset circuit 80, CP
U71 will start the process again from step S09, and after performing the timer process regarding timer T1-T4, step S10, step S11, step S1.
2, step S13, step S14, step S19
Then, each time the reset signal is input, the processing of the above steps is repeated.

On the other hand, due to the rotation of the display bodies 10a to 10d, the rotating display body 10a first reaches the lighting start position P1 in FIG. At this point, in the timer processing, the value of the timer T1 immediately after the subtraction becomes 0, the determination result in step A03 becomes true, and the group display 1
The execution flag F1 regarding lighting of the light emitting diode 14 of the display body 10a of 0A is set. Therefore, the determination result of step S11 after inputting the display address becomes true, and the lighting of the indicator lamp 10a of the group indicator lamp 10A is started (step S17).

Now, the operation of the light emitter drive timing control means in the CPU 71 will be described. CPU 71
Means that the light emitting diodes 14 arranged in line on the display body 10 are individually turned on or off at a predetermined position during a rotational movement by the pulse motor M1 at a predetermined timing.

That is, the CPU 71 reads the left symbol data, the middle symbol data, and the right symbol data for one line to be displayed at the lighting position P1 from the ROM 72 according to the display address, and outputs the display data for one line to the output interface circuit 74. To the light emitting diode driver 76 to light the display body 10a. Then, the address of each of the left symbol data, the middle symbol data, and the right symbol data is incremented by one, and a soft timer for measuring the rotational movement time to the next lighting position, in this case, the lighting position P2 is activated.
Then, the process proceeds to step S19 to wait for the input of the reset signal.

In the example in which the number 3 in FIG. 4 is displayed as the left symbol, the address a shown in FIG. 11 is designated and the display 10a is displayed.
All of the second to ninth rows of the light emitting diodes 14 are extinguished when passes through the rotational position P1.

After the processing of the next cycle, the CPU 71 sequentially lights the indicator lamp 10a according to the lighting positions P2 to P9 based on the setting of the execution flag F1. That is, the soft timer that measures the rotational movement time to the next lighting position is subtracted, and each time the soft timer times out, one line of left symbol data and middle symbol data displayed according to each updated address , The right symbol data is read from the ROM 72 and is output to the light emitting diode driver 76 to display the display 1
0a is turned on, and each address of the left symbol data, the middle symbol data, and the right symbol data is incremented by 1, and a soft timer for measuring the rotational movement time to the next lighting position is activated. Then, when the left symbol data, the middle symbol data, and the right symbol data for one line displayed at the lighting position P9 are output, the execution flag F1 is cleared and the lighting of the indicator lamp 10a is finished.

In the example in which the numeral 3 in FIG. 4 is displayed as the left symbol, the address a of the display symbol data for the line in FIG. 11 is used.
When +1 is designated and the display body passes through the rotational position P, all the light emitting diodes in the second to ninth rows are turned on, and thereafter, the CPU 71 causes a predetermined timing as shown in FIG.
Address a + 2, a + 3, a + 4, ...
Are sequentially designated, and the light emitting diode 14 is turned on in accordance with the display pattern data for one row at the display position designated by timing, so that the number 3 is visually displayed due to the afterimage effect.

Note that the lighting of the indicator lamp 10b performed when the execution flag F2 is set is similar to that of the indicator lamp 10a except that the output destination of the display data is the light emitting diode driver 77. Done in. In addition, when the execution flag F3 is set, the indicator lamp 10c is lit at lighting positions Q1 to Q9.
Except that the display data output destination is the light emitting diode driver 78. However, the same algorithm as that for turning on the indicator lamp 10a is used. Furthermore, the execution flag F
When the indicator lamp 10d is turned on when 4 is set, the output destination of the display data is the light emitting diode driver 7
The same algorithm as the lighting of the indicator lamp 10c is used, except that the difference is 9.

Further, for example, when a big hit occurs when the combination of the left, middle and right symbols is "3, 3, 3", the big hits are alternately made by the display bodies 10a and 10b constituting the group display body 10A. While displaying the symbol “3, 3, 3”, the characters “big hit” are alternately displayed by the display bodies 10c and 10d that form the group display body 10B.

At the time when the display body 10a reaches the lighting position P1 in FIG. 14, the display body 10a turns on to display "3, 3, 3" on the left, middle, and right symbol display portions 28a, 28b, 28c. Be started. Then, the display body 10a is at the lighting position P.
The display 10c of the group display 10B reaches the lighting position Q1 when it is rotated from 1 to 90 °. At this point, in the timer process, the timer T3 times out (step A11), the execution flag F3 is set (step A12), and the execution flag F3 is set in the main routine.
Is set, the display 10c
The left, middle, and right symbol display portions 28a ', 28b', 28c 'are turned on to display the characters "big hit" (step S17). In addition, "3, 3, 3" by the display body 10a
The indicator lights up continuously.

At the time when the display body 10a rotates 180 ° from the lighting position P1, the execution flag F1 is cleared and the lighting by the display body 10a ends, and the display body 10b of the group display body 10A becomes the lighting position P1. Reach At this point, in the timer process, the timer T2 times up (step A07), the execution flag F2 is set (step A08), and in the main routine, the execution flag F2 is set, so that the display body 10b displays Left, center, right symbol display portions 28a, 28
Lighting to display "3, 3, 3" on b and 28c is started (step S16). It should be noted that the display lighting of the "big hit" by the display body 10c is continuously performed.

When the display body 10c rotates 180 ° from the lighting position Q1, the execution flag F3 is cleared and the lighting by the display body 10c ends, and the display body 10d of the group display body 10B becomes the lighting position Q1. Reach At this point, in the timer processing, the timer T4 times out (step A15), the execution flag F4 is set (step A16), and the respective rotary movement times t1 to t4 are reset to the respective timers T1 to T4. In the main routine, since the execution flag F4 is set, the display body 10d starts lighting to display "big hit" on the left, middle and right symbol display portions 28a ', 28b', 28c '. In addition, "3
The display lighting of "3, 3" is continuously performed.

As described above, each of the mounting wings 13a to 13d
When each light emitting diode 14 on the front end surface of the device passes through the display area, the display pattern data is sequentially updated corresponding to the lighting position and the light emitting diode 14 is turned on, so that the light emitting diodes 14 are turned on at predetermined timings. As a result of combining the lighting states of the individual light emitting diodes by the afterimage effect, the respective predetermined symbols by the display bodies 10a to 10d of the respective mounting wings 13a to 3d are superimposed and displayed in the display area.
