Description

配出機構およびゲーム装置Distribution mechanism and game equipment
　本発明は、配出機構およびゲーム装置に関し、特に、ゲームに関連して配出される物品（以下、「配出物」という）を配出するための配出機構およびその配出機構を備えるゲーム装置に関する。 The present invention relates to a distribution mechanism and a game device, and in particular, a game including a distribution mechanism for distributing an article to be distributed in connection with a game (hereinafter referred to as “delivery item”) and a distribution mechanism thereof. Regarding the device.
　ゲームの結果に応じて、異なる配出物を配出するゲーム装置が知られている（例えば、特許文献１）。特許文献１に記載されるゲーム装置は、複数の配出物を収容する収容手段と、収容手段から送り出される配出物を配出候補として複数保持する配出候補保持手段と、各配出物の識別情報を読み取る識別情報読取手段とを備えている。そして、識別情報読取手段は、収容手段から送り出される配出物の識別情報を読み取る。この読み取った識別情報に基づいて、配出候補保持手段に保持された複数の配出物から配出対象となる配出物が決定される。これにより、ゲームの結果に応じて、異なる配出物が配出される。 A game device that distributes different deliverables according to the result of the game is known (for example, Patent Document 1). The game device described in Patent Document 1 includes a storage means for accommodating a plurality of deliverables, a delivery candidate holding means for holding a plurality of deliverables sent out from the storage means as delivery candidates, and each deliverable. It is provided with an identification information reading means for reading the identification information of the above. Then, the identification information reading means reads the identification information of the deliverable sent out from the accommodating means. Based on the read identification information, the delivery target to be delivered is determined from the plurality of delivery items held in the delivery candidate holding means. As a result, different deliveries are distributed according to the result of the game.
　上記ゲーム装置の収容手段は、配出候補保持手段に対して固定されており、配出物を収容するという機能を有するのみであった。そして、ゲームの結果に応じて異なる配出物を配出することは、配出候補保持手段に依拠していた。そのため、ゲームの結果に応じた配出物を効率的に配出することが困難な場合があった。そこで、このような問題を改善するゲーム装置が求められている。 The accommodating means of the game device was fixed to the distribution candidate holding means, and only had the function of accommodating the distribution. And, to distribute different deliveries according to the result of the game, it relied on the delivery candidate holding means. Therefore, it may be difficult to efficiently distribute the deliverables according to the result of the game. Therefore, there is a demand for a game device that improves such a problem.

１．ゲームの概要
　まず、本実施形態のゲーム装置１で実行されるゲームの一例を説明する。ゲーム装置１は、ゲームに関連する配出物（以下、「記録媒体」ということもある）１００を用いて、例えば、対戦ゲームを実行することができる。具体的に、ゲーム装置１は、記録媒体１００をスキャンすることで、記録媒体１００に記録されているキャラクタの情報（以下、「キャラクタ情報」という）を取得する。その後、ゲーム装置１は、表示部６にキャラクタの画像を表示する。これにより、ゲーム装置１は、当該キャラクタと相手キャラクタとを対戦させる対戦ゲームを実行することができる。ゲーム終了後、新しい記録媒体１００がゲーム装置１から配出される。なお、本ゲーム装置１で実行されるゲームは、上記のような対戦ゲームに限定されず、ロールプレイングゲームや、ボードゲーム、シミュレーションゲーム等であってもよい。 1. 1. Outline of the game First, an example of a game executed by the game device 1 of the present embodiment will be described. The game device 1 can execute, for example, a competitive game by using a game-related distribution (hereinafter, also referred to as a “recording medium”) 100. Specifically, the game device 1 acquires character information (hereinafter, referred to as “character information”) recorded on the recording medium 100 by scanning the recording medium 100. After that, the game device 1 displays the image of the character on the display unit 6. As a result, the game device 1 can execute a battle game in which the character and the opponent character are played against each other. After the game is finished, a new recording medium 100 is distributed from the game device 1. The game executed by the game device 1 is not limited to the above-mentioned competitive game, but may be a role-playing game, a board game, a simulation game, or the like.
２．記録媒体（配出物）
　本実施形態のゲーム装置１に用いられる配出物（記録媒体）１００は、キャラクタ情報等の識別情報を記憶できるように構成されている。このような配出物１００は、例えば、図２に示すように、オーバル型に形成されているプラスチック製のカードである。この配出物１００は、表面に２次元コード１０１を有する。この２次元コード１０１に、キャラクタ情報やアイテム情報等の識別情報が記録されている。２次元コード１０１は、ＱＲコード（登録商標）やＺｃｏｄｅ（登録商標）等が挙げられる。２次元コード１０１がＺｃｏｄｅの場合、識別情報は、不可視光（赤外線）下で識別できるように記録されている。なお、配出物１００は、キャラクタ用配出物として、キャラクタ情報に応じて、レア配出物と、ノーマル配出物とが区別されていてもよい。レア配出物は、例えば所定のレベル以上のレアリティを有するキャラクタが記録された配出物である。ノーマル配出物は、例えば所定のレベル未満のレアリティを有するキャラクタが記録された配出物である。また、配出物１００は、キャラクタ用配出物とは別に、プレイヤ（ユーザー）情報やキャラクタ情報を記憶したメモリ用配出物を含んでいてもよい。例えば、メモリ用配出物は、ユーザーに関連する情報を記憶するＩＣカード（Integrated Circuit Card）である。 2. Recording medium (delivery)
The distribution (recording medium) 100 used in the game device 1 of the present embodiment is configured to store identification information such as character information. Such a delivery 100 is, for example, a plastic card formed in an oval shape, as shown in FIG. The delivery 100 has a two-dimensional code 101 on its surface. Identification information such as character information and item information is recorded in the two-dimensional code 101. Examples of the two-dimensional code 101 include a QR code (registered trademark) and Zcode (registered trademark). When the two-dimensional code 101 is Zcode, the identification information is recorded so that it can be identified under invisible light (infrared light). As the character distribution, the distribution 100 may be distinguished from a rare distribution and a normal distribution according to the character information. The rare delivery is, for example, a delivery in which a character having a rarity of a predetermined level or higher is recorded. A normal delivery is, for example, a delivery in which a character having a rarity of less than a predetermined level is recorded. In addition to the character distribution, the distribution 100 may include a memory distribution that stores player (user) information and character information. For example, the memory delivery is an IC card (Integrated Circuit Card) that stores information related to the user.

　個別領域６１１は、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａ用のゲーム画像を表示する領域（第１の領域すなわち第１の画面セクション）６１１Ａと、第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂ用のゲーム画像を表示する領域（第２の領域すなわち第２の画面セクション）６１１Ｂとを含む。これらの領域６１１Ａ、６１１Ｂは、図４、６に示すように、仕切領域６１２を介して、互いに同じ面積で構成される。これにより、プレイヤに一見して２つのゲーム装置があるように見せることができる。しかし、いずれか一方の領域の面積が他の領域の面積よりも小さく構成されていてもよい。例えば、対戦ゲームが実行されている場合、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａ用の領域６１１Ａの面積が大きいと、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａ用のゲーム画像が大きく表示される。そのため、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａのプレイヤが優勢である印象をプレイヤに与えることができる。 The individual area 611 is an area for displaying the game image for the first sub-game device 1A (first area, that is, the first screen section) 611A and an area for displaying the game image for the second sub-game device 1B. Includes (second area or second screen section) 611B. As shown in FIGS. 4 and 6, these regions 611A and 611B are configured to have the same area as each other via the partition region 612. As a result, it is possible to make the player seem to have two game devices at first glance. However, the area of either one region may be smaller than the area of the other region. For example, when a battle game is being executed, if the area of the area 611A for the first sub-game device 1A is large, the game image for the first sub-game device 1A is displayed large. Therefore, it is possible to give the player the impression that the player of the first sub-game device 1A is superior.
　第１の領域６１１Ａは、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａの第１のサブ操作部３Ａに対応して設けられている。第１の領域６１１Ａは長方形状に形成されているが、これに限定されない。第２の領域６１１Ｂは、第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂの第２のサブ操作部３Ｂに対応して設けられている。第２の領域６１１Ｂは長方形状に形成されているが、これに限定されない。第１の領域６１１Ａは、第２の領域６１１Ｂに表示される画像と同じ画像を表示しても、異なる画像を表示してもよい。また、第１の領域６１１Ａと、第２の領域６１１Ｂとは、それぞれ独立して画像を表示することができる。 The first area 611A is provided corresponding to the first sub operation unit 3A of the first sub game device 1A. The first region 611A is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The second area 611B is provided corresponding to the second sub-operation unit 3B of the second sub-game device 1B. The second region 611B is formed in a rectangular shape, but is not limited thereto. The first region 611A may display the same image as the image displayed in the second region 611B, or may display a different image. Further, the first region 611A and the second region 611B can display images independently of each other.
　仕切領域（第３の領域すなわち第３の画面セクション）６１２は、第１の領域６１１Ａと、第２の領域６１１Ｂとを仕切る機能を有する。そのため、仕切領域６１２は、第１の領域６１１Ａと、第２の領域６１１Ｂとの間に設けられている。仕切領域６１２の形状は特に限定されず、長尺状（図４）、矩形状、略台形状（図６）等であってもよい。仕切領域６１２の面積は、特に限定されず、第１の領域６１１Ａや第２の領域６１１Ｂの面積よりも大きくても、小さくてもよい。仕切領域６１２は、複数の領域にさらに分割されていてもよい。 The partition area (third area, that is, the third screen section) 612 has a function of partitioning the first area 611A and the second area 611B. Therefore, the partition region 612 is provided between the first region 611A and the second region 611B. The shape of the partition region 612 is not particularly limited, and may be a long shape (FIG. 4), a rectangular shape, a substantially trapezoidal shape (FIG. 6), or the like. The area of the partition region 612 is not particularly limited, and may be larger or smaller than the area of the first region 611A and the second region 611B. The partition area 612 may be further divided into a plurality of areas.
　例えば、図４に示すように、仕切領域６１２は、その短手方向に沿って分割されて、２つの仕切領域を有していてもよい。すなわち、仕切領域６１２は、第１の領域６１１Ａ用の第１の仕切領域６１２Ａと、第２の領域６１１Ｂ用の第２の仕切領域６１２Ｂとを有していてもよい。また、図６に示すように、仕切領域６１２は、その長手方向に沿って分割された２つの仕切領域を有していてもよい。すなわち、仕切領域６１２は、ゲーム画像用の第３の仕切領域６１２Ｃと、文字画像用の第４の仕切領域６１２Ｄとを有していてもよい。このような構成にすることで、仕切領域６１２に複数の画像、互いに異なる画像を表示させることができる。 For example, as shown in FIG. 4, the partition area 612 may be divided along the lateral direction thereof and may have two partition areas. That is, the partition region 612 may have a first partition region 612A for the first region 611A and a second partition region 612B for the second region 611B. Further, as shown in FIG. 6, the partition region 612 may have two partition regions divided along the longitudinal direction thereof. That is, the partition area 612 may have a third partition area 612C for a game image and a fourth partition area 612D for a character image. With such a configuration, a plurality of images and images different from each other can be displayed in the partition area 612.
　枠体６２は、スピーカ５上に設けられている。枠体６２は、矩形状に形成されているが、これに限定されない。例えば、枠体６２は、円形状や楕円形状等のいかなる形状に形成されていてもよい。枠体６２は、長辺の中央に、内側に凹没するように形成された接合部６２１を有する。この接合部６２１により、枠体が左右対称に形成される。したがって、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａ用のサブ表示部６Ａと、第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂ用のサブ表示部６Ｂのように、表示部６を２つの表示部に見せることができる。 The frame body 62 is provided on the speaker 5. The frame body 62 is formed in a rectangular shape, but the frame body 62 is not limited to this. For example, the frame body 62 may be formed in any shape such as a circular shape or an elliptical shape. The frame body 62 has a joint portion 621 formed so as to be recessed inward in the center of the long side. The frame body is formed symmetrically by the joint portion 621. Therefore, the display unit 6 can be shown to two display units, such as the sub-display unit 6A for the first sub-game device 1A and the sub-display unit 6B for the second sub-game device 1B.
　枠体６２は、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａ用の第１枠部材６２Ａと、第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂ用の第２枠部材６２Ｂとを含んでもよい。図４～６に示されるように、第１枠部材６２Ａおよび第２枠部材６２Ｂは、略「Ｃ」字状に形成されている。そして、第１枠部材６２Ａの一端および他端は、それぞれ、第２枠部材６２Ｂの一端および他端と接して、接合部６２１を形成している。このような構成により、第１枠部材６２Ａと第２枠部材６２Ｂとが接合部６２１を中心に左右対称に配置される。したがって、表示部６を２つの表示部に見せることができる。 The frame body 62 may include a first frame member 62A for the first sub-game device 1A and a second frame member 62B for the second sub-game device 1B. As shown in FIGS. 4 to 6, the first frame member 62A and the second frame member 62B are formed in a substantially "C" shape. Then, one end and the other end of the first frame member 62A are in contact with one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B, respectively, to form a joint portion 621. With such a configuration, the first frame member 62A and the second frame member 62B are arranged symmetrically about the joint portion 621. Therefore, the display unit 6 can be shown to two display units.
　図４に示されるように、第１枠部材６２Ａの一端および他端は、互いに対向して設けられている。そのため、その一端から他端に向けて、第１の仕切領域６１２Ａに枠体６２の短辺の外観と同じ画像（仕切画像）を表示することができる。これにより、第１枠部材６２Ａと、仕切画像とで環状の枠部材（第１枠部材６２Ａ）を形成することができる。すなわち、仕切画像は、第１枠部材６２Ａと一体的に形成されているように見える。したがって、表示部６に個別のサブ表示部６Ａがあることをプレイヤに認識させることができる。 As shown in FIG. 4, one end and the other end of the first frame member 62A are provided so as to face each other. Therefore, the same image (partition image) as the appearance of the short side of the frame body 62 can be displayed in the first partition region 612A from one end to the other end. As a result, an annular frame member (first frame member 62A) can be formed by the first frame member 62A and the partition image. That is, the partition image appears to be integrally formed with the first frame member 62A. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the display unit 6 has an individual sub-display unit 6A.
　一方、第２枠部材６２Ｂの一端および他端は、互いに対向して設けられている。そのため、その一端から他端に向けて、第２の仕切領域６１２Ｂに枠体６２の短辺の外観と同じ画像（仕切画像）を表示することができる。これにより、第２枠部材６２Ｂと、仕切画像とで環状の枠部材（第２枠部材６２Ｂ）を形成することができる。すなわち、仕切画像は、第２枠部材６２Ｂと一体的に形成されているように見える。したがって、表示部６に個別のサブ表示部６Ｂがあることをプレイヤに認識させることができる。 On the other hand, one end and the other end of the second frame member 62B are provided so as to face each other. Therefore, the same image (partition image) as the appearance of the short side of the frame body 62 can be displayed in the second partition region 612B from one end to the other end. As a result, an annular frame member (second frame member 62B) can be formed by the second frame member 62B and the partition image. That is, the partition image appears to be integrally formed with the second frame member 62B. Therefore, it is possible to make the player recognize that the display unit 6 has an individual sub-display unit 6B.
　このように、第１枠部材６２Ａと仕切画像とで、第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａ用の枠体６２を構成する。また、第２枠部材６２Ｂと仕切画像とで、第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂ用の枠体６２を構成する。これにより、１つの枠体６２を２つの枠部材６２Ａ、６２Ｂに分けることができ、１つのゲーム装置１であるが、２つのゲーム装置がある印象をプレイヤに与えることができる。そして、第１枠部材６２Ａ（第１の領域６１１Ａ）および第１のサブ操作部３Ａと、第２枠部材６２Ｂ（第２の領域６１１Ｂ）および第２のサブ操作部３Ｂは、仕切画像を中心軸に左右対称に配置されている。そのため、２つのゲーム装置がある印象をプレイヤにより与えることができる。 In this way, the first frame member 62A and the partition image constitute the frame body 62 for the first sub-game device 1A. Further, the second frame member 62B and the partition image form a frame body 62 for the second sub-game device 1B. As a result, one frame body 62 can be divided into two frame members 62A and 62B, and one game device 1 can give the player the impression that there are two game devices. The first frame member 62A (first region 611A) and the first sub-operation unit 3A, and the second frame member 62B (second region 611B) and the second sub-operation unit 3B are centered on the partition image. It is arranged symmetrically on the axis. Therefore, the player can give the impression that there are two game devices.
　＜記憶部＞
　次に、記憶部７を説明する。記憶部７は、ゲームプログラムと、ゲームデータとを記憶する。ゲームプログラムは、ゲーム装置１にゲームを実行させるためのプログラムであり、ハードウェアとの協働によって実現される。また、ゲームデータは、ゲームに関連するデータであり、キャラクタデータ、音楽データ、画像データ、効果音データ等を含む。 <Memory>
Next, the storage unit 7 will be described. The storage unit 7 stores the game program and the game data. The game program is a program for causing the game device 1 to execute a game, and is realized in cooperation with hardware. The game data is data related to the game, and includes character data, music data, image data, sound effect data, and the like.
　キャラクタデータは、キャラクタの名前、必殺技、武器、強さ、レアリティ、画像等のデータである。すなわち、キャラクタデータは、前述のキャラクタ情報に対応し、各キャラクタを互いに識別する識別情報である。音楽データは、スピーカ５から流れる楽曲データである。音楽データは、例えば、歌手の楽曲やゲームの楽曲等、複数の楽曲データを含んでいる。画像データは、ゲーム画像データである。ゲーム画像データは、例えば、キャラクタ画像、背景画像、各種エフェクト画像等のデータを含む。効果音データは、ゲームプレイ中に再生される音データであり、音楽データとは異なる。効果音データは、例えば、プレイヤの操作結果に応じて流れる評価音データを含む。 Character data is data such as character name, special move, weapon, strength, rarity, image, etc. That is, the character data corresponds to the above-mentioned character information and is identification information for identifying each character from each other. The music data is music data flowing from the speaker 5. The music data includes a plurality of music data such as music of a singer and music of a game. The image data is game image data. The game image data includes, for example, data such as a character image, a background image, and various effect images. The sound effect data is sound data played during game play, and is different from music data. The sound effect data includes, for example, evaluation sound data that flows according to the operation result of the player.
　記憶部７は、所定のイベントを記憶していてもよい。所定のイベントは、ボスキャラ登場イベント、ボーナスイベント、乱入バトルイベント等を含む。このような所定のイベントは、ゲーム画像を表示すべき表示領域と、表示領域を仕切る仕切画像と対応付けて記憶されている。例えば、ボスキャラ登場イベントＡは、表示領域が全画面領域６１のみであり、仕切画像がないように対応付けられている。また、ボスキャラ登場イベントＢは、表示領域が個別領域６１１および仕切領域６１２であり、ここでの仕切画像がボスキャラＢの画像と、「パワー２０％」なる文字画像であるように対応付けられている。この時、仕切領域６１２は、図６に示すように、仕切画像を表示する。 The storage unit 7 may store a predetermined event. Predetermined events include boss character appearance events, bonus events, intrusion battle events, and the like. Such a predetermined event is stored in association with a display area on which the game image should be displayed and a partition image for partitioning the display area. For example, in the boss character appearance event A, the display area is only the full screen area 61, and the boss character appearance event A is associated so that there is no partition image. Further, in the boss character appearance event B, the display areas are the individual area 611 and the partition area 612, and the partition image here is associated with the image of the boss character B as a character image having "power 20%". .. At this time, the partition area 612 displays the partition image as shown in FIG.
　さらに、例えば、一のプレイヤが全画面領域６１で第１のサブゲーム装置１Ａでプレイしているときに、他のプレイヤが第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂでプレイする場合、イベントが発動される。すなわち、第２のサブゲーム装置１Ｂの第２のサブ操作部３Ｂが他のプレイヤによる乱入バトルの操作入力を受けることにより、乱入バトルＢのイベントが発動される。この時、乱入バトルＢは、表示領域が個別領域６１１および仕切領域６１２であり、仕切画像がバー画像であるように対応付けられている。この時、仕切領域６１２は、図４に示すように、仕切画像を表示する。 Further, for example, when one player is playing on the first sub-game device 1A in the full screen area 61 and another player is playing on the second sub-game device 1B, an event is triggered. That is, when the second sub-operation unit 3B of the second sub-game device 1B receives the operation input of the intrusion battle by another player, the event of the intrusion battle B is activated. At this time, in the intrusion battle B, the display area is the individual area 611 and the partition area 612, and the partition image is associated with the bar image. At this time, the partition area 612 displays the partition image as shown in FIG.
　また、本実施形態では、後述する配出機構１０の収容部１１は、複数のストッカー１１１を有するため、記憶部７は、複数のストッカー１１１に関する情報（以下、「ストッカー情報」という）を記憶しておいてもよい。ストッカー情報としては、例えば、どのような種類の配出物１００がストッカー１１１に収容されているかという情報や、ストッカー１１１の配出物１００の数がゼロになった情報等が挙げられる。ストッカー情報の具体例としては、例えば、下記表１～表３に示す情報が挙げられる。 Further, in the present embodiment, since the accommodating unit 11 of the distribution mechanism 10 described later has a plurality of stockers 111, the storage unit 7 stores information regarding the plurality of stockers 111 (hereinafter, referred to as “stocker information”). You may leave it. Examples of the stocker information include information on what kind of deliverable 100 is stored in the stocker 111, information on the number of deliverables 100 of the stocker 111 becoming zero, and the like. Specific examples of the stocker information include the information shown in Tables 1 to 3 below.
表１

Table 1
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-I000001
　上記表１では、次の情報が示されている。具体的に、第１～第２のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のメモリ用配出物１００のみを収容するメモリ専用として機能する。また、第３～第５のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のレア配出物１００のみを収容するレア配出物専用として機能する。また、第６～第１０のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のノーマル配出物１００のみを収容するノーマル配出物専用として機能する。また、上記表１では、第１のストッカー１１１には、５０枚のメモリ用配出物１００が残っており、第２のストッカー１１１には、５０枚のメモリ用配出物１００が残っている。また、第３～第５のストッカー１１１には、それぞれ５０枚のレア配出物１００が残っている。また、第６～第１０のストッカー１１１には、それぞれ５０枚のノーマル配出物１００が残っている。 In Table 1 above, the following information is shown. Specifically, each of the first and second stockers 111 functions exclusively for the memory that accommodates only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of the memory deliverables 100. In addition, each of the third to fifth stockers 111 functions exclusively for rare deliveries that accommodate only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of rare deliveries 100. Further, each of the sixth to tenth stockers 111 functions exclusively for the normal distribution that accommodates only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of the normal distribution 100. Further, in Table 1 above, 50 memory deliveries 100 remain in the first stocker 111, and 50 memory deliveries 100 remain in the second stocker 111. .. In addition, 50 rare deliveries 100 remain in each of the third to fifth stockers 111. In addition, 50 normal deliveries 100 are left in each of the 6th to 10th stockers 111.
表２

　上記表２では、次の情報が示されている。具体的に、第１～第２のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のメモリ用配出物１００のみを収容するメモリ専用として機能する。また、第３～第１０のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、レア配出物１００とノーマル配出物１００とを所定の比率（表２ではレア配出物：ノーマル配出物＝２０：３０）で収容するマルチストッカーとして機能する。この収容に関し、ストッカー１１１には、下から順番に、２０枚のレア配出物１００のセットと、それに続く３０枚のノーマル配出物１００のセットとが束になったシュリンク（パッケージ）が収容されていてもよい。この場合、配出物１００の残量によって、各ストッカー１１１が、どの種類の配出物１００を収容しているかという情報を後述する制御部８の取得手段８１が取得することができる。例えば、上記表２では、第４のストッカー１１１の配出物１００の残量は３０枚である。このため、第４のストッカー１１１は、下から順番にセットされていた２０枚のレア配出物１００のすべてが払い出された状態であるという情報を取得手段８１が取得することができる。すなわち、第４のストッカー１１１は、ノーマル配出物１００が３０枚残った状態であり、ノーマル配出物専用になった状態であるという情報を取得手段８１が取得することができる。また、第５～第１０のストッカー１１１の配出物１００の残量は、５０枚であるため、これらのストッカー１１１は、下から２０枚のレア配出物１００に続いて３０枚のノーマル配出物１００がある状態であるという情報を取得手段８１が取得することができる。すなわち、これらのストッカー１１１は、２０枚のレア配出物１００がすべて払い出されるまでは、レア配出物１００専用である状態であるという情報を取得手段８１が取得することができる。 In Table 2 above, the following information is shown. Specifically, each of the first and second stockers 111 functions exclusively for the memory that accommodates only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of the memory deliverables 100. In addition, the third to tenth stockers 111 each accommodate the rare delivery 100 and the normal delivery 100 at a predetermined ratio (rare delivery: normal delivery = 20:30 in Table 2). Functions as a multi-stocker. Regarding this accommodation, the stocker 111 contains a shrink (package) in which a set of 20 rare deliveries 100 and a set of 30 normal deliveries 100 following it are bundled in order from the bottom. It may have been. In this case, depending on the remaining amount of the distribution 100, the acquisition means 81 of the control unit 8 described later can acquire information on which type of distribution 100 is accommodated by each stocker 111. For example, in Table 2 above, the remaining amount of the delivery 100 of the fourth stocker 111 is 30 sheets. Therefore, in the fourth stocker 111, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information that all of the 20 rare deliveries 100 set in order from the bottom are in a paid-out state. That is, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information that the fourth stocker 111 is in a state in which 30 pieces of the normal deliverables 100 remain and is in a state of being dedicated to the normal deliverables. Further, since the remaining amount of the distribution 100 of the 5th to 10th stockers 111 is 50, these stockers 111 have 30 normal distributions following the 20 rare distributions 100 from the bottom. The acquisition means 81 can acquire the information that the product 100 is in a certain state. That is, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information that these stockers 111 are in a state of being dedicated to the rare distribution 100 until all the 20 rare distributions 100 are paid out.

Table 3
Figure JPOXMLDOC01-appb-I000003
　上記表３では、次の情報が示されている。具体的に、第１～第２のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のメモリ用配出物１００のみを収容するメモリ専用として機能する。また、第３～第８のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、レア配出物１００とノーマル配出物１００とをランダムで収容するランダムストッカーとして機能する。また、第９のストッカー１１１は、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のノーマル配出物１００のみを収容するノーマル配出物専用として機能する。また、第１０のストッカー１１１は、所定の枚数（例えば５０枚）のレア配出物１００のみを収容するレア配出物専用として機能する。また、上記表３の例は、配出物１００の残量に関するストッカー情報として、各ストッカー１１１における配出物１００の有無に関する情報のみが記憶部７に記憶されている。このようなストッカー情報によっても、どのストッカー１１１が空の状態であるかという情報を取得手段８１が取得することができる。 In Table 3 above, the following information is shown. Specifically, each of the first and second stockers 111 functions exclusively for the memory that accommodates only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of the memory deliverables 100. Further, the third to eighth stockers 111 each function as a random stocker that randomly accommodates the rare distribution 100 and the normal distribution 100. Further, the ninth stocker 111 functions exclusively for the normal distribution that accommodates only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of the normal distribution 100. Further, the tenth stocker 111 functions exclusively for rare deliveries that accommodate only a predetermined number (for example, 50) of rare deliveries 100. Further, in the example of Table 3 above, as the stocker information regarding the remaining amount of the deliverable 100, only the information regarding the presence or absence of the deliverable 100 in each stocker 111 is stored in the storage unit 7. With such stocker information, the acquisition means 81 can acquire information as to which stocker 111 is in an empty state.
　上記表１～表３に示す情報は、ストッカー情報の一例であり、ストッカー情報は、上述した情報に限定されない。例えば、メモリ専用のストッカー１１１が無くてもよい。そして、第１～第１０のすべてのストッカー１１１に、レア配出物１００およびノーマル配出物１００がランダムに配列されたセットが収容されていてもよい。なお、記憶部７がストッカー情報を記憶していない場合であっても、前述のストッカー情報に示されるように、ストッカー１１１に、各種の配出物１００を実際に収容することができる。これは、例えば、ゲーム装置１が設置された店舗従業員等によって達成され得る。 The information shown in Tables 1 to 3 above is an example of stocker information, and the stocker information is not limited to the above information. For example, the stocker 111 dedicated to memory may not be provided. Then, all the stockers 111 of the first to tenth may contain a set in which the rare delivery 100 and the normal delivery 100 are randomly arranged. Even when the storage unit 7 does not store the stocker information, various deliverables 100 can be actually stored in the stocker 111 as shown in the stocker information described above. This can be achieved, for example, by a store employee or the like in which the game device 1 is installed.
　また、後述する配出機構１０の配出候補保持部１３１は、複数（本実施形態では第１～第５０）の保持板１３１１を有する。このため、記憶部７は、複数の保持板１３１１に、メモリ用配出物１００、レア配出物１００またはノーマル配出物１００をどのような割合で配置するかという情報（以下、「保持板割合情報」という）を記憶しておいてもよい。保持板割合情報としては、例えば、下記表４に示す情報が挙げられる。 Further, the distribution candidate holding unit 131 of the distribution mechanism 10, which will be described later, has a plurality of (first to 50th in this embodiment) holding plates 1311. Therefore, the storage unit 7 provides information on the ratio of the memory distribution 100, the rare distribution 100, or the normal distribution 100 to be arranged on the plurality of holding plates 1311 (hereinafter, “holding plate”). You may memorize) "ratio information". Examples of the holding plate ratio information include the information shown in Table 4 below.

For example, only the normal distribution 100 may be arranged on each holding plate 1311, or only the rare distribution 100 may be arranged.
　＜制御部＞
　次に、制御部８を説明する。制御部８は、ゲームの実行にかかる全ての機能を制御する。このような制御部８は、図３に示すように、取得手段８１と、ゲーム処理手段８２と、表示制御手段８３と、音出力制御手段８４と、動作制御手段８５と、を有する。 <Control unit>
Next, the control unit 8 will be described. The control unit 8 controls all the functions related to the execution of the game.

　収容部１１は、複数の配出物１００を収容する機能を有する。本実施形態では、図７に示すように、収容部１１は、複数のストッカー１１１、すなわち、第１～第１０のストッカー１１１を備えている。ストッカー１１１は、タワー状をなし、複数の配出物１００を収容可能に構成されている。収容部１１が複数の収容部として複数のストッカー１１１を備えている。これにより、複数のストッカー１１１ごとに、各種の配出物１００を所定の割合で収容することもできる。このため、後述する配出候補保持部１３１に配置する配出物１００の種類の割合を調整することができ、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物１００を効率的に配出することができる。 (Accommodation)
The accommodating unit 11 has a function of accommodating a plurality of deliverables 100. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the accommodating portion 11 includes a plurality of stockers 111, that is, first to tenth stockers 111. The stocker 111 has a tower shape and is configured to accommodate a plurality of deliverables 100. The accommodating portion 11 includes a plurality of stockers 111 as a plurality of accommodating portions. Thereby, various deliverables 100 can be accommodated in a predetermined ratio for each of the plurality of stockers 111. Therefore, the ratio of the types of the deliverables 100 arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131, which will be described later, can be adjusted, and the deliverables 100 can be efficiently delivered according to the result of the game. ..
　なお、ストッカー１１１の数は、本実施形態では１０個であるが、これに限定されない。ストッカー１１１の数は、２個以上であることが好ましく、３個以上であることがより好ましい。また、各ストッカー１１１に収容可能な配出物１００の枚数は特に限定されず、例えば、５０枚とすることができる。複数のストッカー１１１は、それぞれ、例えば前述したストッカー情報で説明したように、異なる種類の配出物１００を収容していてもよい。 The number of stockers 111 is 10, but is not limited to this in the present embodiment. The number of stockers 111 is preferably 2 or more, and more preferably 3 or more. Further, the number of deliverables 100 that can be accommodated in each stocker 111 is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 50. Each of the plurality of stockers 111 may accommodate different types of deliverables 100, as described, for example, in the stocker information described above.
　図９に示すように、各ストッカー１１１は、本体部１１２と、足部１１３と、を備えている。本体部１１２は、配出物１００の形状に対応するように、丸角の筒状をなしている。また、本体部１１２は、その１つの側面に、切欠き部１１２Ａを有する。切欠き部１１２Ａを介して、例えば手の一部（指）が本体部１１２の内部に挿入可能である。これにより、複数の配出物１００を、手で支持しつつストッカー１１１に容易に収容することができる。また、例えば、筐体２の前扉を開けた時に、収容された配出物１００を目視することもできるため、ゲーム装置１の管理を行い易いという利点もある。これにより、ストッカー１１１に配出物１００が全く収容されていない状態を回避することができ、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物１００を効率的に配出することをより確実に行うことができる。 As shown in FIG. 9, each stocker 111 includes a main body portion 112 and a foot portion 113. The main body 112 has a rounded tubular shape so as to correspond to the shape of the delivery 100. Further, the main body portion 112 has a notch portion 112A on one side surface thereof. For example, a part (fingers) of the hand can be inserted into the main body portion 112 through the notch portion 112A. As a result, the plurality of deliverables 100 can be easily accommodated in the stocker 111 while being supported by the hand. Further, for example, when the front door of the housing 2 is opened, the housed deliverable 100 can be visually observed, so that there is an advantage that the game device 1 can be easily managed. As a result, it is possible to avoid a state in which the stocker 111 does not contain the deliverable 100 at all, and it is possible to more reliably deliver the deliverable 100 according to the result of the game. can.
　本体部１１２は、その長手方向に沿った外周面の各辺に、４つの梁部１１２１を有する。梁部１１２１は本体部１１２の長手方向全体にわたって形成されており、梁部１１２１の下端部は、足部１１３と篏合するように構成されている。 The main body portion 112 has four beam portions 1121 on each side of the outer peripheral surface along the longitudinal direction thereof. The beam portion 1121 is formed over the entire longitudinal direction of the main body portion 112, and the lower end portion of the beam portion 1121 is configured to be aligned with the foot portion 113.

Further, the foot portion 113 has a bottom plate portion 1133 provided so as to be supported inside the base portion 1131.
　基部１１３１は、上開放の箱状をなし、前面１１３１ａ、後面１１３１ａ’、右側面１１３１ｂおよび左側面１１３１ｂ’を有する（図１０（ａ）および図１０（ｂ）参照）。前面１１３１ａおよび後面１１３１ａ’に対応する基部１１３１の上端は、枠状部１１３２を支持するように、形成されている。一方、右側面１１３１ｂおよび左側面１１３１ｂ’に対応する基部１１３１の上端は、底板部１１３３が傾斜した状態で突出可能に、形成されている。 The base portion 1131 has a box shape with an open top, and has a front surface 1131a, a rear surface 1131a', a right side surface 1131b, and a left side surface 1131b'(see FIGS. 10A and 10B). The upper ends of the base portion 1131 corresponding to the front surface 1131a and the rear surface 1131a'are formed so as to support the frame-shaped portion 1132. On the other hand, the upper end of the base portion 1131 corresponding to the right side surface 1131b and the left side surface 1131b'is formed so that the bottom plate portion 1133 can be projected in an inclined state.
　また、基部１１３１は、後面１１３１ａ’の内側上方に、溝部１１３Ａを有する。溝部１１３Ａは、配出物１００の側部や、底板部１１３３の側部と接触するように構成されている。これにより、これらの間の摩擦を低減することができる。このように、溝部１１３Ａは、配出物１００を効率よく配出候補保持部１３１に送り出すことに寄与する。 Further, the base portion 1131 has a groove portion 113A above the inside of the rear surface 1131a'. The groove portion 113A is configured to come into contact with the side portion of the deliverable 100 and the side portion of the bottom plate portion 1133. This makes it possible to reduce the friction between them. In this way, the groove portion 113A contributes to efficiently delivering the delivery product 100 to the delivery candidate holding unit 131.
　枠状部１１３２は、基部１１３１から張り出すように形成されている。これにより、枠状部１１３２は、本体部１１２の梁部１１２１の下端部と篏合することができる。また、枠状部１１３２は、本体部１１２の切欠き部１１２Ａと対応するスリット部１１３Ｄを有する（図９参照）。図９および図１０（ｃ）に示されるように、スリット部１１３Ｄは、底板部１１３３に隣接して設けられている。このため、スリット部１１３Ｄを介して、底板部１１３３に接する配出物１００の位置ずれを直すこと等を行うことができ、ゲーム装置１の管理を容易にすることができる。これにより、収容部１１での配出物１００の目詰まりを抑制または防止することができ、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物１００を効率的に配出することをより確実に行うことができる。このようなスリット部１１３Ｄの位置は、切欠き部１１２Ａと対応するように設けられていればよい。このため、ストッカー１１１が第１の動作部１２に設けられた状態で、切欠き部１１２Ａおよびスリット部１１３Ｄが、ストッカー１１１の外側面（基部１１３１の左側面１１３１ｂ’に対応する位置の側面）に設けられていてもよい。すなわち、ストッカー１１１が第１の動作部１２に設けられた状態で、切欠き部１１２Ａおよびスリット部１１３Ｄが、第１の動作部１２の中心に対して反対を向くように、ストッカー１１１に設けられてもよい。これにより、複数のストッカー１１１が併設されている場合であっても、上述した効果をより顕著に発揮することができる。 The frame-shaped portion 1132 is formed so as to project from the base portion 1131. As a result, the frame-shaped portion 1132 can be aligned with the lower end portion of the beam portion 1121 of the main body portion 112. Further, the frame-shaped portion 1132 has a slit portion 113D corresponding to the notch portion 112A of the main body portion 112 (see FIG. 9). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10 (c), the slit portion 113D is provided adjacent to the bottom plate portion 1133. Therefore, it is possible to correct the misalignment of the deliverable 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133 via the slit portion 113D, and it is possible to facilitate the management of the game device 1. As a result, clogging of the delivery material 100 in the accommodating portion 11 can be suppressed or prevented, and the distribution product 100 can be more reliably distributed according to the result of the game. can. The position of such a slit portion 113D may be provided so as to correspond to the notch portion 112A. Therefore, with the stocker 111 provided in the first operating portion 12, the notch portion 112A and the slit portion 113D are placed on the outer surface of the stocker 111 (the side surface at a position corresponding to the left side surface 1131b'of the base portion 1131). It may be provided. That is, with the stocker 111 provided in the first moving portion 12, the notch portion 112A and the slit portion 113D are provided in the stocker 111 so as to face opposite to the center of the first moving portion 12. You may. As a result, even when a plurality of stockers 111 are provided side by side, the above-mentioned effect can be exhibited more remarkably.
　さらに、枠状部１１３２は、左右の辺（２つの短辺）に対応して設けられた長スカート部１１３２ａおよび短スカート部１１３２ａ’を有している。すなわち、枠状部１１３２において、長スカート部１１３２ａは、基部１１３１の右側面１１３１ｂに対応する一辺から下方に向かって設けられ、短スカート部１１３２ａ’は、基部１１３１の左側面１１３２ｂ’に対応する一辺から下方に向かって設けられている。 Further, the frame-shaped portion 1132 has a long skirt portion 1132a and a short skirt portion 1132a'provided corresponding to the left and right sides (two short sides).

Further, a gap 113C is formed between the lower end of the short skirt portion 1132a'and the bottom plate portion 1133. The gap 113C is larger than the gap 113B, and the extruded delivery product 100 can be reliably delivered to the delivery candidate holding unit 131.
　底板部１１３３は、配出物１００を支える機能を有する。底板部１１３３は、基部１１３１の前面１１３１ａの上端部から、後面１１３１ａ’の中段付近に向かって傾斜して形成されている。すなわち、ストッカー１１１が第１の動作部１２に垂直に設けられた状態で、底板部１１３３は、第１の動作部１２に対して角度付けされている。この傾斜角度は、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して、例えば１０°～４５°の範囲であることが好ましく、１５°～３０°の範囲であることがより好ましい。この傾斜角度は、後述する保持板１３１１の傾斜角度と対応（好ましくは一致）するように設定されている。これにより、押し出された配出物１００を配出候補保持部１３１に確実に送り出すことができる。また、このような構成の底板部１１３３は、配出物１００を傾斜した状態で支えることができ、その傾斜した分、ストッカー１１１の幅を小さくすることができる。その結果、機構自体を小型化することができる。これにより、装置に必要なコストを低減することができる。なお、各部材の対応または一致する傾斜角度とは、各部材同士が、配出機構１０として組み合わされた状態における角度を指す。また、各部材の対応または一致する傾斜角度とは、ゲーム装置１を設置面（例えば地面、床面）に設置した状態において、当該設置面に対する各部材の傾斜角度がそれぞれ対応または一致することを意味していてもよい。対応または一致する傾斜角度を有する各部材は、対応する傾斜構造を有するということもできる。 The bottom plate portion 1133 has a function of supporting the delivery 100. The bottom plate portion 1133 is formed so as to be inclined from the upper end portion of the front surface 1131a of the base portion 1131 toward the vicinity of the middle stage of the rear surface 1131a'. That is, the bottom plate portion 1133 is angled with respect to the first moving portion 12 with the stocker 111 provided perpendicular to the first moving portion 12. This inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10 ° to 45 °, and more preferably in the range of 15 ° to 30 ° with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12. This inclination angle is set to correspond (preferably match) with the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 described later. As a result, the extruded delivery product 100 can be reliably sent out to the delivery candidate holding unit 131. Further, the bottom plate portion 1133 having such a configuration can support the deliverable 100 in an inclined state, and the width of the stocker 111 can be reduced by the amount of the inclination. As a result, the mechanism itself can be miniaturized. As a result, the cost required for the device can be reduced. The corresponding or matching inclination angles of the members refer to the angles in which the members are combined as the distribution mechanism 10. Further, the corresponding or matching inclination angle of each member means that when the game device 1 is installed on an installation surface (for example, the ground or floor surface), the inclination angles of each member with respect to the installation surface correspond to or match, respectively. It may mean. It can also be said that each member having a corresponding or matching tilt angle has a corresponding tilt structure.
　なお、底板部１１３３は、ストッカー１１１が第１の動作部１２に垂直に設けられた状態で、かつ配出物１００を支えていない状態において、第１の動作部１２に対して平行に設けられ、配出物１００の重みで下方向に所定の角度だけ可動するように構成されていてもよい。つまり、底板部１１３３は、バネ等により弾性的に付勢され、傾動するように構成されていてもよい。このように、底板部１１３３が傾動するように構成されている場合、各ストッカー１１１自体を、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して一定の角度（例えば４５°～８０°）で、角度付けるように設置することが好ましい。当該角度は、ストッカー１１１が第１の動作部１２に設置された状態において、載置部１２１の上面と、この上面に対向するストッカー１１１（本体部１１２）の側面とによって形成される角度を意味する。これにより、配出物１００自体の重みによって底板部１１３３（および底板部１１３３に接する配出物１００）にかかる力が軽減される。このため、配出物１００を支えた状態の底板部１１３３を、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して所定の角度（例えば１０°～４５°）で傾斜させつつ、底板部１１３３に接する配出物１００を配出候補保持部１３１へ円滑に送り出すことができる。 The bottom plate portion 1133 is provided parallel to the first moving portion 12 in a state where the stocker 111 is provided vertically to the first moving portion 12 and does not support the deliverable 100. , The weight of the delivery 100 may be configured to move downward by a predetermined angle. That is, the bottom plate portion 1133 may be configured to be elastically urged and tilted by a spring or the like. When the bottom plate portion 1133 is configured to tilt in this way, each stocker 111 itself is placed at a constant angle (for example, 45 ° to 80 °) with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12. ), It is preferable to install it at an angle. The angle means an angle formed by the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 and the side surface of the stocker 111 (main body portion 112) facing the upper surface when the stocker 111 is installed on the first operating portion 12. do. As a result, the force applied to the bottom plate portion 1133 (and the deliverable 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133) due to the weight of the deliverable 100 itself is reduced. Therefore, the bottom plate portion 1133 in a state of supporting the deliverable 100 is tilted at a predetermined angle (for example, 10 ° to 45 °) with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12. The delivery material 100 in contact with the unit 1133 can be smoothly sent to the distribution candidate holding unit 131.
　また、底板部１１３３は、基部１１３１の右側面１１３１ｂおよび左側面１１３２ｂ’を越えて、足部１１３の左右方向に突出している（図１０（ａ））。そして、右側面１１３１ｂ側で突出している底板部１１３３の端部は、その厚みが漸減する漸減部１１３３ａを有している。これにより、第１の押出部１４４を円滑に底板部１１３３の上面へ導くことができ、底板部１１３３上に設けられた配出物１００を確実に押し出すことができる。 Further, the bottom plate portion 1133 extends beyond the right side surface 1131b and the left side surface 1132b'of the base portion 1131 in the left-right direction of the foot portion 113 (FIG. 10A). The end of the bottom plate portion 1133 protruding on the right side surface 1131b side has a gradually decreasing portion 1133a whose thickness gradually decreases. As a result, the first extruded portion 144 can be smoothly guided to the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 1133, and the deliverable 100 provided on the bottom plate portion 1133 can be reliably extruded.
　このように、収容部１１の各ストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００は、第１の押出部１４４を足部１１３に間隙１１３Ｂを介して挿入することにより、押し出され、配出候補保持部１３１へと送り出される。この際、底板部１１３３に接する配出物１００から順次押し出される。足部１１３は、図１１に示すように、その底面を介して、第１の動作部１２に接続されている。 In this way, the delivery material 100 housed in each stocker 111 of the storage unit 11 is extruded by inserting the first extrusion unit 144 into the foot portion 113 via the gap 113B, and the distribution candidate holding unit is pushed out. It is sent to 131. At this time, it is sequentially extruded from the delivery material 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133. As shown in FIG. 11, the foot portion 113 is connected to the first moving portion 12 via the bottom surface thereof.
　（第１の動作部）
　第１の動作部１２は、収容部１１が設けられた状態で、後述する第２の動作部１３に対して動作する機能を有する。本実施形態では、第１の動作部１２は、円盤状に形成された載置部１２１と、載置部１２１を駆動させるための第１のモーター１２２とを備えている。なお、図１１中では、説明の都合上、第１のモーター１２２として、モーターの一部（第１の固定子および第１の軸受）のみが記載されている。 (First moving part)
The first operating unit 12 has a function of operating with respect to the second operating unit 13, which will be described later, in a state where the accommodating unit 11 is provided. In the present embodiment, the first operating portion 12 includes a mounting portion 121 formed in a disk shape and a first motor 122 for driving the mounting portion 121. In FIG. 11, for convenience of explanation, only a part of the motor (first stator and first bearing) is described as the first motor 122.
　載置部１２１は、各種部材を載置する機能を有し、その外周端部には、周方向に沿って各ストッカー１１１が載置されている。換言すれば、複数の収容部として複数のストッカー１１１が、第１の動作部１２上に円環状に設けられている。さらに、載置部１２１の外周端部には、後述する第２の押出部（一対の押出部）１４５が設けられているが、これらの説明は、後述する。また、載置部１２１は、その中心部を介して、第１のモーター１２２の軸を挿通可能に構成されている。これにより、第１の動作部１２は、第１のモーター１２２の駆動力により、回転することができる。したがって、第１の動作部１２は、載置部１２１に円環状に設けられた収容部１１を周方向に沿って効率よく移動させることができる。これにより、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物１００を効率的に配出することができる。また、載置部１２１が円盤状に形成されているため、第１の動作部１２の動作（回転）を効率よく行うことができる。このように、載置部１２１は、第１の動作部１２の動作に対応して形成されていることが好ましい。例えば、第１の動作部１２が直線的に動作する場合、載置部１２１は、長方形状に形成されてもよい。 The mounting portion 121 has a function of mounting various members, and each stocker 111 is mounted on the outer peripheral end portion thereof along the circumferential direction. In other words, a plurality of stockers 111 as a plurality of accommodating portions are provided in an annular shape on the first operating portion 12. Further, a second extrusion portion (a pair of extrusion portions) 145, which will be described later, is provided at the outer peripheral end portion of the mounting portion 121, and these will be described later. Further, the mounting portion 121 is configured so that the shaft of the first motor 122 can be inserted through the central portion thereof. As a result, the first operating unit 12 can be rotated by the driving force of the first motor 122. Therefore, the first operating portion 12 can efficiently move the accommodating portion 11 provided in the mounting portion 121 in an annular shape along the circumferential direction. As a result, the distribution 100 can be efficiently distributed according to the result of the game. Further, since the mounting portion 121 is formed in a disk shape, the operation (rotation) of the first operating portion 12 can be efficiently performed. As described above, it is preferable that the mounting portion 121 is formed corresponding to the operation of the first operating portion 12. For example, when the first moving portion 12 operates linearly, the mounting portion 121 may be formed in a rectangular shape.
　なお、複数のストッカー１１１への配出物１００の収容、補充は、基本的には、配出機構１０が筐体２の内部に配置された状態で行われる。一般的には、この状態で、筐体２の内部の奥にあるストッカー１１１に配出物１００を補充することは困難である。しかしながら、本実施形態では、収容部１１が設けられた第１の動作部１２が回転するので、配出物１００の補充を容易に行うことができる。かかる第１の動作部１２の回転を自動で行うための動作ボタンが、配出機構１０の台座部１８等に別途設けられてもよい。これにより、より容易に配出物１００の補充を行うことができる。なお、ストッカー１１１が、取り外し可能に、載置部１２１に設けられていてもよい。これにより、収容部１１への配出物１００の補充をさらに容易に行うことができる。 Note that the delivery 100 is basically stored and replenished in the plurality of stockers 111 in a state where the delivery mechanism 10 is arranged inside the housing 2. Generally, in this state, it is difficult to replenish the stocker 111 at the back inside the housing 2 with the deliverable 100. However, in the present embodiment, since the first operating unit 12 provided with the accommodating unit 11 rotates, the distribution 100 can be easily replenished. An operation button for automatically rotating the first operation unit 12 may be separately provided on the pedestal portion 18 or the like of the distribution mechanism 10. Thereby, the delivery 100 can be replenished more easily. The stocker 111 may be detachably provided on the mounting portion 121. Thereby, the delivery material 100 can be replenished to the accommodating portion 11 more easily.
　（第２の動作部）
　第２の動作部１３は、収容部１１から送り出された配出候補となる複数の配出物１００を保持した状態で動作する機能を有する。図１２に示されるように、第２の動作部１３は、配出候補保持部１３１と、配列部１３２と、アーム状支持部１３３と、第２のモーター１３４と、を備えている。なお、図１２中では、説明の都合上、第２のモーター１３４として、モーターの一部（第２の固定子および第２の軸受）のみが記載されている。 (Second moving part)
The second operating unit 13 has a function of operating in a state of holding a plurality of deliverables 100 which are candidates for delivery sent from the accommodating unit 11. As shown in FIG. 12, the second operating unit 13 includes a distribution candidate holding unit 131, an array unit 132, an arm-shaped support unit 133, and a second motor 134. In FIG. 12, for convenience of explanation, only a part of the motor (second stator and second bearing) is described as the second motor 134.
　配出候補保持部１３１は、配出候補となる複数の配出物１００を保持する機能を有する。配出候補保持部１３１は、複数（本実施形態では５０個）の配出候補を保持する保持板１３１１を含んでいる。すなわち、複数の保持板１３１１のそれぞれが、配出候補となる配出物１００を保持する。配出候補保持部１３１によって、保持される配出候補となる配出物１００の数が多いほど、配出機構１０が、オンデマンドのように配出物１００を配出する効果を高めることができる。 The delivery candidate holding unit 131 has a function of holding a plurality of delivery items 100 that are delivery candidates. The delivery candidate holding unit 131 includes a holding plate 1311 that holds a plurality of (50 in this embodiment) delivery candidates. That is, each of the plurality of holding plates 1311 holds the delivery item 100 as a delivery candidate. As the number of deliveries 100 that are candidates for delivery to be held by the delivery candidate holding unit 131 increases, the delivery mechanism 10 can enhance the effect of delivering the deliveries 100 as in demand. can.
　各保持板１３１１は、配出物１００を配置する、鍬状の配置面１３１１ａを有する。配置面１３１１ａでは、その中心部を介して、３つの配置領域１３１１ａが一方の側に延在し、２つの配置領域１３１１ａが他方の側に延在する。このような配置領域を有する構成により、配置面１３１１ａと配出物１００の表面との接触面積が低減される。その結果、保持板１３１１への配出物１００の配置、および保持板１３１１からの配出物１００の配出（払出）を円滑に行うことができる。 Each holding plate 1311 has a hoe-shaped arrangement surface 1311a on which the distribution 100 is arranged. On the arrangement surface 1311a, the three arrangement areas 1311a extend to one side and the two arrangement areas 1311a extend to the other side through the central portion thereof. With the configuration having such an arrangement region, the contact area between the arrangement surface 1311a and the surface of the deliverable 100 is reduced. As a result, the distribution 100 can be smoothly arranged on the holding plate 1311 and the distribution 100 can be smoothly distributed (paid out) from the holding plate 1311.
　また、このように反対方向に延在している５つの配置領域１３１１ａのそれぞれの先端には、上方に向かって屈曲するように、屈曲部１３１１ｂが設けられている。このような屈曲部１３１１ｂを保持板１３１１が有することにより、保持板１３１１が傾斜した状態であっても、配出物１００を屈曲部１３１１ｂで支持することができる。このため、保持板１３１１は、傾斜した状態で、配出物１００を確実に保持することができる。各保持板１３１１は、配列部１３２に設けられている。 Further, at the tip of each of the five arrangement regions 1311a extending in the opposite directions in this way, a bent portion 1311b is provided so as to bend upward. Since the holding plate 1311 has such a bent portion 1311b, the deliverable 100 can be supported by the bent portion 1311b even when the holding plate 1311 is in an inclined state. Therefore, the holding plate 1311 can reliably hold the deliverable 100 in an inclined state. Each holding plate 1311 is provided in the arrangement portion 132.
　配列部１３２は、保持板１３１１を配列し、載置する機能を有する。配列部１３２は、円環状をなし、その内径は、第１の動作部１２を囲むように、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の内径よりも大きい。複数の保持板１３１１は、隣接する保持板１３１１同士が互いに一部重なるように、配列部１３２の上面に配列している。この配列した状態において、複数の保持板１３１１は、配列部１３２の上面に対して、所定の角度だけ傾斜している。この傾斜角度は、配列部１３２の上面に対して、例えば１０°～４５°の範囲であることが好ましく、１５°～３０°の範囲であることがより好ましい。これにより、配列部１３２の上面に配出物１００を平置きする場合（該上面に対する角度が無い場合）に対して、より多くの保持板１３１１を設けることができる。このようにより多くの配出候補を保持しておくことにより、配出機構１０が、オンデマンドのように配出物１００を配出する効果を高めることができ、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物１００を効率的に配出することができる。 The arrangement unit 132 has a function of arranging and placing the holding plate 1311. The array portion 132 has an annular shape, and its inner diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12 so as to surround the first operating portion 12. The plurality of holding plates 1311 are arranged on the upper surface of the arranging portion 132 so that the adjacent holding plates 1311 partially overlap each other. In this arranged state, the plurality of holding plates 1311 are inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the arranged portion 132. The inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10 ° to 45 °, and more preferably in the range of 15 ° to 30 ° with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132. As a result, more holding plates 1311 can be provided when the distribution 100 is placed flat on the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132 (when there is no angle with respect to the upper surface). By retaining a larger number of distribution candidates in this way, the distribution mechanism 10 can enhance the effect of distributing the distribution 100 as in demand, and distributes according to the result of the game. The product 100 can be efficiently distributed.
　この配列部１３２の上面に対する保持板１３１１の傾斜角度と、前述した第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対する底板部１１３３の傾斜角度とは、互いに対応（好ましくは一致）している。このように、複数の保持板１３１１のそれぞれは、底板部１１３３の傾斜角度に対応するように角度付けされている。これにより、第１の動作部１２に設けられたストッカー１１１から、保持板１３１１へ配出物１００を円滑かつ確実に送り出すことができる。 The tilt angle of the holding plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132 and the tilt angle of the bottom plate portion 1133 with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12 described above correspond to (preferably match) each other. .. In this way, each of the plurality of holding plates 1311 is angled so as to correspond to the inclination angle of the bottom plate portion 1133. As a result, the delivery material 100 can be smoothly and surely delivered from the stocker 111 provided in the first operating unit 12 to the holding plate 1311.
　アーム状支持部１３３は、配列部１３２を支持する機能を有する。アーム状支持部１３３は、５本のアーム１３３１を備え、各アームの先端に、支持板１３３２が設けられている。各支持板１３３２の上面に、配列部１３２の底面が当接し、これにより、配列部１３２がアーム状支持部１３３に支持される。アーム状支持部１３３を介して、第２のモーター１３４の駆動力が配列部１３２に伝わり、配出候補保持部１３１が動作（本実施形態では回転）する。 The arm-shaped support portion 133 has a function of supporting the arrangement portion 132. The arm-shaped support portion 133 includes five arms 1331, and a support plate 1332 is provided at the tip of each arm. The bottom surface of the arrangement portion 132 abuts on the upper surface of each support plate 1332, whereby the arrangement portion 132 is supported by the arm-shaped support portion 133. The driving force of the second motor 134 is transmitted to the array unit 132 via the arm-shaped support unit 133, and the distribution candidate holding unit 131 operates (rotates in this embodiment).
　本実施形態では、第２の動作部１３は、第１の動作部１２を囲むように設けられている。このため、第１の動作部１２と第２の動作部１３とが、互いに隣接して回転することができる。これにより、第１の動作部１２に設けられた複数のストッカー１１１の所定のストッカー１１１と、複数の保持板１３１１の所定の保持板１３１１とを、効率よく対応させることができ、所定のストッカー１１１の配出物１００を、所定の保持板へと円滑かつ確実に送り出すことができる。このように、第１の動作部１２が、第２の動作部１３に対して、効率よく動作することができるので、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物を効率的に配出することができる。 In the present embodiment, the second operating unit 13 is provided so as to surround the first operating unit 12. Therefore, the first operating unit 12 and the second operating unit 13 can rotate adjacent to each other. As a result, the predetermined stockers 111 of the plurality of stockers 111 provided in the first operating unit 12 and the predetermined holding plates 1311 of the plurality of holding plates 1311 can be efficiently made to correspond to each other, and the predetermined stockers 111 can be made to correspond efficiently. The delivery 100 can be smoothly and surely delivered to a predetermined holding plate. In this way, since the first moving unit 12 can efficiently operate with respect to the second moving unit 13, it is possible to efficiently distribute the deliverables according to the result of the game. can.
　（押出機構）
　押出機構１４は、配出物１００を押し出す機能を有する。具体的には、収容部１１に収容された配出物１００を配出候補保持部１３１へ押し出す機能と、配出候補保持部１３１に保持された配出物１００を配出誘導部１５へ押し出す機能とを有する。このように、押出機構１４は、配出物１００を、収容部１１から配出候補保持部１３１へ送り出し、さらに、配出候補保持部１３１から配出誘導部１５へと送り出すように構成されている。このように、各部間で配出物１００を送り出す機能を発揮できる限り、押出機構１４の構成は特に限定されない。すなわち、押出機構１４は、配出物送出部として機能する構成を有していればよい。このような押出機構１４は、第３の動作部ということもできる。 (Extrusion mechanism)
The extrusion mechanism 14 has a function of extruding the deliverable 100. Specifically, it has a function of pushing out the delivery material 100 stored in the storage unit 11 to the distribution candidate holding unit 131 and pushing out the distribution product 100 held in the distribution candidate holding unit 131 to the distribution guidance unit 15. Has a function. In this way, the extrusion mechanism 14 is configured to send the deliverable 100 from the accommodating section 11 to the delivery candidate holding section 131, and further from the delivery candidate holding section 131 to the delivery guidance section 15. There is. As described above, the configuration of the extrusion mechanism 14 is not particularly limited as long as the function of sending out the deliverable 100 between the parts can be exhibited. That is, the extrusion mechanism 14 may have a configuration that functions as a delivery unit. Such an extrusion mechanism 14 can also be said to be a third operating unit.
　図１３に示すように、押出機構１４は、搭載板１４１と、第３のモーター１４２と、弾性ベルト部材１４３と、第１の押出部（配置用押出部材）１４４と、を備えている。さらに、押出機構１４は、第２の押出部（一対の押出部）１４５を有している（図１１参照）。 As shown in FIG. 13, the extrusion mechanism 14 includes a mounting plate 141, a third motor 142, an elastic belt member 143, and a first extrusion portion (arrangement extrusion member) 144. Further, the extrusion mechanism 14 has a second extrusion portion (a pair of extrusion portions) 145 (see FIG. 11).
　搭載板１４１は、小型の円盤状をなし、各種の部材を載置する機能を有する。搭載板１４１の直径は、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の直径よりも小さく、搭載板１４１は、第１の動作部１２の軸とは別の軸によって支持されるように、載置部１２１の中央部に設置されている。これにより、搭載板１４１は、第１の動作部１２が動作する時も固定された状態である。このため、搭載板１４１上の各部材は、第１の動作部１２の動作に影響されない。このように、本実施形態では、押出機構１４の搭載板１４１は、固定されているが、動作可能、例えば、回転可能であってもよい。 The mounting plate 141 has a small disk shape and has a function of mounting various members. The diameter of the mounting plate 141 is smaller than the diameter of the mounting portion 121 of the first moving portion 12, and the mounting plate 141 is mounted so as to be supported by a shaft different from the shaft of the first moving portion 12. It is installed in the central portion of the placement portion 121. As a result, the mounting plate 141 is in a fixed state even when the first operating unit 12 operates. Therefore, each member on the mounting plate 141 is not affected by the operation of the first operating unit 12. As described above, in the present embodiment, the mounting plate 141 of the extrusion mechanism 14 is fixed, but may be operable, for example, rotatable.
　第３のモーター１４２は、張架された弾性ベルト部材１４３を介して、第１の押出部１４４を駆動する機能を有する。第３のモーター１４２の駆動力で弾性ベルト部材１４３が回動するように動作すると、第１の押出部１４４を左右、すなわち直線上の２方向に動作させることができる。本実施形態では、第１の押出部１４４は、一斉に動作する。なお、第１の押出部１４４は、その両端部ごとに独立して動作するように構成されていてもよい。例えば、第１の押出部１４４の一端部が動作する時、他端部が停止していてもよく、これらが、同時に、別々の方向に動作してもよい。 The third motor 142 has a function of driving the first extrusion portion 144 via the stretched elastic belt member 143. When the elastic belt member 143 is operated so as to rotate by the driving force of the third motor 142, the first extruded portion 144 can be operated in two directions on the left and right, that is, on a straight line. In the present embodiment, the first extrusion portions 144 operate all at once. The first extrusion portion 144 may be configured to operate independently at both ends thereof. For example, when one end of the first extrusion 144 operates, the other end may be stopped, and they may operate in different directions at the same time.
　弾性ベルト部材１４３は、第３のモーター１４２の駆動力を、第１の押出部１４４に伝達する機能を有する。弾性ベルト部材１４３の構成は、このような機能を発揮できる限り、特に限定されない。例えば、弾性ベルト部材１４３は、その内側面が平面で構成されていてもよく、所定のピッチで配設された複数の凸部を有していてもよい。 The elastic belt member 143 has a function of transmitting the driving force of the third motor 142 to the first extrusion portion 144. The configuration of the elastic belt member 143 is not particularly limited as long as such a function can be exhibited. For example, the elastic belt member 143 may have an inner side surface formed of a flat surface, or may have a plurality of convex portions arranged at a predetermined pitch.
　第１の押出部１４４は、収容部１１に収容された配出物１００が、配出候補保持部１３１へ配置されるように、配出物１００を押し出す機能を有する。第１の押出部１４４の両端部は、配出物１００を押し出すことが可能な寸法を有する２枚の板状部材１４４ａ、１４４ｂで構成されている。２枚の板状部材１４４ａ、１４４ｂは、竹とんぼの羽のごとく、共通の軸を有し、かつ互いに異なる方向を向いた状態で、搭載板１４１の上面に対して、所定の角度だけ傾斜して設けられている。この傾斜角度は、搭載板１４１の上面に対して、例えば１０°～４５°の範囲であることが好ましく、１５°～３０°の範囲であることがより好ましい。 The first extrusion unit 144 has a function of pushing out the distribution product 100 so that the distribution product 100 housed in the storage unit 11 is arranged in the distribution candidate holding unit 131. Both ends of the first extruded portion 144 are composed of two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b having dimensions capable of extruding the deliverable 100. The two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b are inclined by a predetermined angle with respect to the upper surface of the mounting plate 141 in a state where they have a common axis and face different directions like the wings of a bamboo dragonfly. It is provided. The inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10 ° to 45 °, and more preferably in the range of 15 ° to 30 ° with respect to the upper surface of the mounting plate 141.
　この第１の押出部１４４の傾斜角度と、前述した配列部１３２の上面に対する保持板１３１１の傾斜角度と、前述した第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対する底板部１１３３の傾斜角度とは、互いに対応（好ましくは一致）している。これにより、第１の押出部１４４は、ストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００を押し出し、保持板１３１１に送り出すことを確実に行うことができる。 The inclination angle of the first extrusion portion 144, the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132 described above, and the inclination angle of the bottom plate portion 1133 with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12 described above. Correspond (preferably match) with each other. As a result, the first extrusion unit 144 can surely push out the deliverable 100 housed in the stocker 111 and send it out to the holding plate 1311.
　次に、第２の押出部１４５について説明する。第２の押出部１４５は、第１の押出部１４４によって押し出されることにより、保持板１３１１に保持された配出物１００を配出誘導部１５へ押し出す機能を有する。第２の押出部１４５は、載置部１２１において、互いに離間して設けられている。より具体的には、第２の押出部１４５は、同一直線上に離間して設置されている。すなわち、第１の動作部１２において、円盤状の載置部１２１の直径に沿って、第２の押出部１４５が２つ設置されている。また、これらの第２の押出部１４５は、周方向に沿って、複数のストッカー１１１と連続して設けられている。このような構成とすることにより、第１の動作部１２の動作を制御すれば、第２の押出部１４５と複数のストッカー１１１との位置決めを行うことができる。このように、複数の部材の位置決めを効率的に行うことができる。 Next, the second extrusion section 145 will be described. The second extrusion section 145 has a function of pushing out the deliverable 100 held by the holding plate 1311 to the delivery guidance section 15 by being extruded by the first extrusion section 144. The second extruded portion 145 is provided in the mounting portion 121 so as to be separated from each other. More specifically, the second extruded portions 145 are installed so as to be separated from each other on the same straight line. That is, in the first operating portion 12, two second extruded portions 145 are installed along the diameter of the disk-shaped mounting portion 121. Further, these second extrusion portions 145 are continuously provided with a plurality of stockers 111 along the circumferential direction. With such a configuration, if the operation of the first operating unit 12 is controlled, the second extrusion unit 145 and the plurality of stockers 111 can be positioned. In this way, the positioning of the plurality of members can be performed efficiently.
　第２の押出部１４５は、図１１に示すように、レール部材１４５１と、当接部材１４５２と、配出用押出部材１４５３とを備えている。この配出用押出部材１４５３は、当接部材１４５２とともに、載置部１２１の中心に向かって付勢された状態で、レール部材１４５１上に設置されている。また、第１の押出部１４４は、第２の押出部（一対の押出部）１４５の間に設けられている。このため、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１が回転することにより、配出用押出部材１４５３が、第１の押出部１４４の板状部材１４４ａまたは１４４ｂと隣接して位置する。この状態から、第１の押出部１４４が、当接部材１４５２に当接することにより、配出用押出部材１４５３が、保持板１３１１に向かって押し出される。 As shown in FIG. 11, the second extrusion portion 145 includes a rail member 1451, a contact member 1452, and a delivery extrusion member 1453. The extrusion member 1453 for distribution is installed on the rail member 1451 together with the contact member 1452 in a state of being urged toward the center of the mounting portion 121. Further, the first extrusion portion 144 is provided between the second extrusion portions (pair of extrusion portions) 145. Therefore, as the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12 rotates, the dispensing extrusion member 1453 is positioned adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a or 144b of the first extrusion portion 144. From this state, when the first extruded portion 144 abuts on the abutting member 1452, the dispensing extruded member 1453 is extruded toward the holding plate 1311.
　このように、第２の押出部１４５は、第１の押出部１４４によって押し出されることにより、その機能を発揮する。この機構を確実に発揮させるように、第２の押出部１４５と、第１の押出部１４４とを対応（これらを同一直線上に位置）させることが好ましい。本実施形態では、２つの第２の押出部１４５が互いに離間して第１の動作部１２に設けられ、さらに第１の押出部１４４が２つの第２の押出部１４５の間に設けられている。これにより、２つのうちのどちらか一方の第２の押出部１４５を、第１の押出部１４４に対応（これらを同一直線上に位置）させれば、その機能を確実に発揮させることができる。したがって、第２の押出部１４５の機能を効率的に発揮させることができる。なお、第２の押出部１４５は、自ら駆動するように、専用のモーターを備えていてもよい。この場合、第１の押出部１４４を第３の動作部といい、第２の押出部１４５を第４の動作部といってもよい。 In this way, the second extruded portion 145 exerts its function by being extruded by the first extruded portion 144. It is preferable that the second extrusion portion 145 and the first extrusion portion 144 correspond to each other (they are positioned on the same straight line) so that this mechanism can be reliably exerted. In the present embodiment, the two second extruded portions 145 are provided in the first operating portion 12 so as to be separated from each other, and the first extruded portion 144 is further provided between the two second extruded portions 145. There is. As a result, if the second extrusion portion 145 of either of the two is made to correspond to the first extrusion portion 144 (these are located on the same straight line), the function can be surely exhibited. .. Therefore, the function of the second extrusion unit 145 can be efficiently exerted. The second extrusion unit 145 may be provided with a dedicated motor so as to be driven by itself. In this case, the first extruded portion 144 may be referred to as a third operating portion, and the second extruded portion 145 may be referred to as a fourth operating portion.
　第２の押出部１４５の各配出用押出部材１４５３は、前述した第１の押出部１４４の２枚の板状部材１４４ａ、１４４ｂと同様に、載置部１２１の上面に対して、所定の角度だけ傾斜して設けられている。この傾斜角度は、載置部１２１の上面に対して、例えば１０°～４５°の範囲であることが好ましく、１５°～３０°の範囲であることがより好ましい。 Each of the delivery extruding members 1453 of the second extrusion portion 145 is predetermined with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121, similarly to the two plate-shaped members 144a and 144b of the first extrusion portion 144 described above. It is provided at an angle. The inclination angle is preferably in the range of, for example, 10 ° to 45 °, and more preferably in the range of 15 ° to 30 ° with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121.
　この配出用押出部材１４５３の傾斜角度と、前述した配列部１３２の上面に対する保持板１３１１の傾斜角度と、前述した載置部１２１の上面に対する第１の押出部１４４の傾斜角度および底板部１１３３の傾斜角度とは、互いに対応（好ましくは一致）している。これにより、第１の押出部１４４は、ストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００を押し出し、保持板１３１１に送り出すことを確実に行うことができる。加えて、第１の押出部１４４は、第２の押出部１４５を介して、保持板１３１１に保持された配出物１００を押し出し、配出誘導部１５へ配出する（払い出す）ことを確実に行うことができる。このように、本実施形態では、対応して動作する複数の動作部において、複数（少なくとも２つ）の部材同士の傾斜角度が対応（好ましくは一致）している。これにより、配出物１００を効率的に配出することができる。換言すれば、複数の部材同士が、対応する傾斜構造を有することにより、配出物１００を効率的に配出することができる。 The inclination angle of the extrusion member 1453 for distribution, the inclination angle of the holding plate 1311 with respect to the upper surface of the arrangement portion 132 described above, the inclination angle of the first extrusion portion 144 with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 described above, and the bottom plate portion 1133. Corresponds to (preferably coincides with) the inclination angles of. As a result, the first extrusion unit 144 can surely push out the deliverable 100 housed in the stocker 111 and send it out to the holding plate 1311. In addition, the first extrusion unit 144 extrudes the delivery material 100 held by the holding plate 1311 via the second extrusion unit 145 and distributes (pays) to the distribution guidance unit 15. You can do it with certainty. As described above, in the present embodiment, the inclination angles of the plurality of (at least two) members correspond (preferably match) in the plurality of operating units that operate in correspondence with each other. As a result, the deliverable 100 can be efficiently delivered. In other words, when the plurality of members have the corresponding inclined structures, the deliverable 100 can be efficiently delivered.
　（配出誘導部）
　配出誘導部１５は、保持板１３１１から押し出された配出物１００を、配出口２１に誘導する機能を有する。本実施形態では、ゲーム装置１が２イン１構成であるため、配出誘導部１５は２つ設けられている。ゲーム装置１の構成に応じて、配出誘導部１５の数は適宜選択され得る。本実施形態では、２つの配出誘導部１５は、配出機構１０の両側で、配出候補保持部１３１に隣接して設けられている。各配出誘導部１５は、ゲート部１５１と、配出路１５２と、有している。 (Distribution guidance section)
The distribution guidance unit 15 has a function of guiding the distribution 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 to the distribution outlet 21. In the present embodiment, since the game device 1 has a 2-in-1 configuration, two distribution guidance units 15 are provided. The number of distribution guidance units 15 can be appropriately selected according to the configuration of the game device 1. In the present embodiment, the two distribution guidance units 15 are provided on both sides of the distribution mechanism 10 adjacent to the distribution candidate holding unit 131. Each distribution guidance unit 15 has a gate unit 151 and a distribution path 152.
　ゲート部１５１は、配出候補保持部１３１から配出誘導部１５へ押し出された配出物１００を配出路１５２に確実に導く機能を有する。そのような機能を有する限り、その構成は特に限定されない。本実施形態では、ゲート部１５１は、図８に示されるように、配出候補保持部１３１に隣接して設けられている。しかしながら、ゲート部１５１の一部が、配出候補保持部１３１の上方を覆うように構成されていてもよい。換言すれば、配出誘導部１５が、配出候補保持部１３１の上方に、覆部を有していてもよい。これにより、保持板１３１１から押し出された配出物１００が、配出路１５２以外の部分へ逃げ出すことを防止することができる。 The gate unit 151 has a function of reliably guiding the distribution material 100 extruded from the distribution candidate holding unit 131 to the distribution guidance unit 15 to the distribution path 152. As long as it has such a function, its configuration is not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, the gate portion 151 is provided adjacent to the distribution candidate holding portion 131 as shown in FIG. However, a part of the gate portion 151 may be configured to cover the upper part of the distribution candidate holding portion 131. In other words, the delivery guidance unit 15 may have a cover portion above the distribution candidate holding unit 131. As a result, it is possible to prevent the deliverable 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 from escaping to a portion other than the delivery path 152.
　なお、ゲート部１５１には、配出物１００がそこを通過したことを検知するゲートセンサが設けられていてもよい。これにより、検出部１７が配出物１００の配出の異常等を検出することができる。そして、異常が発生した場合に、取得手段８１により異常情報が取得され、ゲーム処理手段８２がゲームを一時中断することもできる。その結果、配出物を効率的に配出することができる。 Note that the gate portion 151 may be provided with a gate sensor that detects that the deliverable 100 has passed therethrough. As a result, the detection unit 17 can detect an abnormality in the delivery of the delivery 100. Then, when an abnormality occurs, the acquisition means 81 acquires the abnormality information, and the game processing means 82 can temporarily suspend the game. As a result, the deliverables can be efficiently delivered.
　配出路１５２は、ゲート部１５１を通過した配出物１００を配出口２１まで誘導する機能を有する。その機能を有する限り、配出路１５２の構成は特に限定されない。本実施形態では、配出路１５２は、配出物１００が、その自重により配出口２１まで滑り落ちるように傾斜する傾斜面を有するように構成されている。 The distribution path 152 has a function of guiding the distribution 100 that has passed through the gate portion 151 to the distribution outlet 21. As long as it has the function, the configuration of the distribution path 152 is not particularly limited. In the present embodiment, the distribution path 152 is configured to have an inclined surface in which the distribution 100 slides down to the distribution outlet 21 due to its own weight.
　（撮像部）
　撮像部１６は、保持板１３１１に保持されている配出物１００の識別情報を読み取る機能を有している。すなわち、撮像部１６は、識別情報読取部として機能する。撮像部１６は、配列部１３２の上方に設けられたカメラ１６１を有する。なお、保持板１３１１の配置面１３１１ａに、識別コード（例えばマイクロＱＲコード）が付されている場合、撮像部１６は、当該識別コードを読み取ることもできる。 (Image pickup unit)
The imaging unit 16 has a function of reading the identification information of the deliverable 100 held on the holding plate 1311. That is, the imaging unit 16 functions as an identification information reading unit. The imaging unit 16 has a camera 161 provided above the array unit 132. When an identification code (for example, a micro QR code) is attached to the arrangement surface 1311a of the holding plate 1311, the imaging unit 16 can also read the identification code.
　具体的には、配出物１００がストッカー１１１から保持板１３１１へ送り出された後、当該保持板１３１１が撮像部１６の下方に位置するように、第２の動作部１３が回転する。これにより、カメラ１６１は、当該保持板１３１１の上方から、配出物１００の識別情報を読み取ることができる。また、保持板１３１１の配出物１００が払い出された後、当該保持板１３１１が撮像部１６の下方に位置するように、第２の動作部１３が回転する。これにより、カメラ１６１は、当該保持板１３１１（配置面１３１１ａ）の識別コードを読み取ることもできる。これに関し、撮像部１６が、配出物１００の識別情報および配置面１３１１ａの識別コードのいずれも読み取ることができない場合、取得手段８１により異常情報が取得される。そして、ゲーム処理手段８２がゲームを一時中断することもできる。 Specifically, after the deliverable 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311, the second operating unit 13 rotates so that the holding plate 1311 is located below the imaging unit 16. As a result, the camera 161 can read the identification information of the deliverable 100 from above the holding plate 1311. Further, after the distribution 100 of the holding plate 1311 is paid out, the second operating unit 13 rotates so that the holding plate 1311 is located below the imaging unit 16. As a result, the camera 161 can also read the identification code of the holding plate 1311 (arrangement surface 1311a). In this regard, if the imaging unit 16 cannot read either the identification information of the distribution 100 or the identification code of the arrangement surface 1311a, the acquisition means 81 acquires the abnormality information. Then, the game processing means 82 can suspend the game.
　カメラ１６１の種類は、特に限定されず、可視光カメラ、赤外線カメラ、フルスペクトルカメラ等が挙げられる。本実施形態では、カメラ１６１は赤外線カメラで構成されている。 The type of camera 161 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a visible light camera, an infrared camera, and a full spectrum camera. In this embodiment, the camera 161 is composed of an infrared camera.
　（検出部）
　検出部１７は、配出機構１０の状態に関する情報を検出、感知する機能を有する。配出機構１０の状態に関する情報には、例えば、各部の位置情報や、各ストッカー１１１に収容されている配出物１００の枚数情報等が含まれる。例えば、検出部１７は、第１の動作部１２に設けられた各ストッカー１１１および第２の押出部１４５の位置情報を検出することができる。さらに、検出部１７は、第２の動作部１３に設けられた各保持板１３１１の位置情報を検出することができる。これらの位置情報を検出するために、本実施形態では、検出部１７は、第１～第４のセンサ１７１～１７４を有する。 (Detection unit)
The detection unit 17 has a function of detecting and detecting information regarding the state of the distribution mechanism 10. The information regarding the state of the delivery mechanism 10 includes, for example, position information of each part, information on the number of deliveries 100 housed in each stocker 111, and the like. For example, the detection unit 17 can detect the position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 provided in the first operation unit 12. Further, the detection unit 17 can detect the position information of each holding plate 1311 provided in the second operating unit 13. In order to detect these position information, in the present embodiment, the detection unit 17 has first to fourth sensors 171 to 174.
　具体的に、検出部１７は、各ストッカー１１１のうち、基準となるストッカー１１１を検出するための第１のセンサ（インデックスセンサ）１７１と、基準となるストッカー１１１から順番に各ストッカー１１１の位置情報を検出するための第２のセンサ１７２とを有する（図８、図１３参照）。図８および図１３に示されるように、第１のセンサ１７１および第２のセンサ１７２は、押出機構１４の搭載板１４１に設けられている。 Specifically, the detection unit 17 includes the first sensor (index sensor) 171 for detecting the reference stocker 111 among the stockers 111, and the position information of each stocker 111 in order from the reference stocker 111. It has a second sensor 172 for detecting the above (see FIGS. 8 and 13). As shown in FIGS. 8 and 13, the first sensor 171 and the second sensor 172 are provided on the mounting plate 141 of the extrusion mechanism 14.
　また、検出部１７は、各保持板１３１１のうち、基準となる保持板１３１１を検出するための第３のセンサ（インデックスセンサ）１７３と、基準となる保持板１３１１から順番に各保持板１３１１の位置情報を検出するための第４のセンサ１７４とを有する（図８参照）。図８では、第３のセンサ１７３および第４のセンサ１７４は、各保持板１３１１の下方から、各保持板１３１１の位置情報を検出可能に配置されている。 Further, the detection unit 17 includes a third sensor (index sensor) 173 for detecting the reference holding plate 1311 among the holding plates 1311 and each holding plate 1311 in order from the reference holding plate 1311. It has a fourth sensor 174 for detecting position information (see FIG. 8). In FIG. 8, the third sensor 173 and the fourth sensor 174 are arranged so that the position information of each holding plate 1311 can be detected from below each holding plate 1311.
　第１～第４のセンサ１７１～１７４は、それぞれ、反射型の光電センサ、透過型の光電センサ、磁気センサ、赤外線センサ、近接センサ、機械式の接触センサ等のいずれのセンサであってもよい。なお、第１～第４のセンサ１７１～１７４の種類、個数、設置位置は、その機能を発揮できる限り、特に限定されない。また、検出部１７は、ストッカー１１１に収容されている配出物１００の数を検出するための第５のセンサを備えていてもよい。第５のセンサは、ストッカー１１１の本体部１１２の切欠き部１１２Ａを介して、配出物１００の数を検出するように構成されてもよい。そして第５のセンサは、例えば、ストッカー１１１に収容されている配出物１００が、所定の数以上であるか、所定の数以下であるかを検出することができる。これにより、配出物１００の補充（入替）が容易となる。このような第５のセンサの設置位置や数は、切欠き部１１２Ａの位置に応じて調整すればよい。 The first to fourth sensors 171 to 174 may be any sensor such as a reflection type photoelectric sensor, a transmission type photoelectric sensor, a magnetic sensor, an infrared sensor, a proximity sensor, and a mechanical contact sensor, respectively. .. The types, number, and installation positions of the first to fourth sensors 171 to 174 are not particularly limited as long as the functions can be exhibited. Further, the detection unit 17 may include a fifth sensor for detecting the number of deliveries 100 housed in the stocker 111. The fifth sensor may be configured to detect the number of deliveries 100 via the notch 112A of the main body 112 of the stocker 111. Then, the fifth sensor can detect, for example, whether the number of deliveries 100 housed in the stocker 111 is a predetermined number or more or a predetermined number or less. This facilitates the replenishment (replacement) of the deliverable 100. The installation position and number of such a fifth sensor may be adjusted according to the position of the notch portion 112A.

　（１）配出物の配置方法
　表１、表４、図１４および図１７を参照して、配出候補保持部１３１に配出物１００が全く配置されていない状態（初期状態）における配出物の配置方法の一例を説明する。この例では、収容部１１の第１～第１０のストッカー１１１に収容されている複数の配出物１００が、それぞれ、配出候補保持部１３１の第１～第５０の保持板１３１１に配置される。なお、前述したように、記憶部７は、ストッカー情報および保持板割合情報を、記憶していてもよいし、記憶していなくてもよい。ただし、以下の説明では、記憶部７がこれらの情報を記憶している場合について説明する。 (1) Distributing Method of Distributors With reference to Tables 1, 4, 14 and 17, the delivery is delivered in a state (initial state) in which the delivery 100 is not arranged at all in the distribution candidate holding unit 131. An example of how to arrange objects will be described. In this example, a plurality of deliverables 100 housed in the first to tenth stockers 111 of the storage section 11 are arranged on the first to 50th holding plates 1311 of the delivery candidate holding section 131, respectively. NS. As described above, the storage unit 7 may or may not store the stocker information and the holding plate ratio information. However, in the following description, a case where the storage unit 7 stores such information will be described.
　まず、初期状態において、配出物１００の配置を開始する（Ｓ１００）。「Ｓ」はステップを意味する。この際、取得手段８１は、記憶部７に記憶されているストッカー情報から、特定のストッカー情報（例えば表１に示すストッカー情報）を取得する。 First, in the initial state, the placement of the delivery 100 is started (S100). "S" means a step. At this time, the acquisition means 81 acquires specific stocker information (for example, the stocker information shown in Table 1) from the stocker information stored in the storage unit 7.
　そして、検出部１７は、第１～第１０のストッカー１１１および第２の押出部１４５の位置情報を検出する（Ｓ１０１）。例えば、検出部１７は、第１のセンサ１７１により、基準となるストッカー１１１の位置情報（インデックス情報）を検出するとともに、第２のセンサ１７２により、基準となるストッカー１１１から順番に、各ストッカー１１１の位置情報（インデックスに対する位置）および第２の押出部１４５の位置情報（インデックスに対する位置）を検出する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第１～第１０のストッカー１１１および第２の押出部（一対の押出部）１４５の位置情報を取得することができる。なお、各ストッカー１１１および第２の押出部１４５の位置情報の検出方法は、これに限定されない。また、検出された位置情報は、記憶部７に記憶される。 Then, the detection unit 17 detects the position information of the first to tenth stockers 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 (S101). For example, the detection unit 17 detects the position information (index information) of the reference stocker 111 by the first sensor 171 and each stocker 111 in order from the reference stocker 111 by the second sensor 172. The position information (position with respect to the index) and the position information of the second extrusion unit 145 (position with respect to the index) are detected. As a result, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the position information of the first to tenth stockers 111 and the second extrusion portions (pair of extrusion portions) 145. The method of detecting the position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion portion 145 is not limited to this. Further, the detected position information is stored in the storage unit 7.
　同様に、検出部１７は、第１～第５０の保持板１３１１の位置情報を検出する（Ｓ１０２）。例えば、検出部１７は、第３のセンサ１７３により、基準となる保持板１３１１の位置情報（インデックス情報）を検出する。続いて、検出部１７は、第４のセンサ１７４により、基準となる保持板１３１１から順番に、各保持板１３１１の位置情報（インデックスに対する位置）を検出する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第１～第５０の保持板１３１１の位置情報を取得することができる。各保持板１３１１の位置情報の検出方法は、これに限定されない。また、検出された位置情報は、記憶部７に記憶される。 Similarly, the detection unit 17 detects the position information of the first to 50th holding plates 1311 (S102). For example, the detection unit 17 detects the position information (index information) of the holding plate 1311 as a reference by the third sensor 173. Subsequently, the detection unit 17 detects the position information (position with respect to the index) of each holding plate 1311 in order from the reference holding plate 1311 by the fourth sensor 174. As a result, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the position information of the first to 50th holding plates 1311. The method for detecting the position information of each holding plate 1311 is not limited to this. Further, the detected position information is stored in the storage unit 7.
　このように、検出部１７が各ストッカー１１１および第２の押出部１４５の位置情報ならびに各保持板１３１１の位置情報を検出する。その後、動作制御手段８５は、保持板割合情報（例えば上述した表４に示した割合）に基づいて、第１～第５０の保持板１３１１に、メモリ用配出物１００、レア配出物１００またはノーマル配出物１００を配置する。 In this way, the detection unit 17 detects the position information of each stocker 111 and the second extrusion unit 145 and the position information of each holding plate 1311. After that, the operation control means 85 puts the memory distribution 100 and the rare distribution 100 on the first to 50th holding plates 1311 based on the holding plate ratio information (for example, the ratio shown in Table 4 described above). Alternatively, the normal delivery 100 is placed.
　このために、まず、動作制御手段８５は、メモリ用配出物ストッカー（例えば表１中の第１のストッカー１１１）からメモリ用配出物１００を押し出す（Ｓ１０３）。これにより、メモリ用配出物１００が、所定の保持板１３１１（例えば表４中の第１の保持板１３１１）に配置される。 For this purpose, first, the operation control means 85 pushes out the memory delivery item 100 from the memory delivery item stocker (for example, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) (S103). As a result, the memory distribution 100 is arranged on a predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the first holding plate 1311 in Table 4).
　ステップ１０３について、図１７を参照して具体的に説明する。動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３の動作をそれぞれ独立して制御する。これにより、所定のストッカー１１１（例えば表１中の第１のストッカー１１１）と、所定の保持板１３１１（例えば表４における第１の保持板１３１１）とがそれぞれ、第１の押出部１４４の一方の端部である板状部材１４４ａまたは１４４ｂに対応するように配置される。 Step 103 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. The motion control means 85 independently controls the motions of the first motion unit 12 and the second motion unit 13. As a result, the predetermined stocker 111 (for example, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) and the predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the first holding plate 1311 in Table 4) are each one of the first extruded portions 144. It is arranged so as to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a or 144b which is the end portion of the.
　図１７では、板状部材１４４ａの長手方向に沿うように、第１のストッカー１１１と、第１の保持板１３１１とが配置されている。これにより、板状部材１４４ａの長手方向と、板状部材１４４ａに隣接する第１のストッカー１１１に設けられた底板部１１３３の長手方向と、第１のストッカー１１１に隣接する第１の保持板１３１１の長手方向とが互いに一致する。換言すれば、第１のストッカー１１１を介して互いに隣接する部材同士の長手方向を一致させることができる。すなわち、板状部材１４４ａ、第１のストッカー１１１の底板部１１３３および第１の保持板１３１１のそれぞれの長手方向を、一致させることができる。 In FIG. 17, the first stocker 111 and the first holding plate 1311 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a. As a result, the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a, the longitudinal direction of the bottom plate portion 1133 provided on the first stocker 111 adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a, and the first holding plate 1311 adjacent to the first stocker 111. Consistent with each other in the longitudinal direction of. In other words, the longitudinal directions of the members adjacent to each other can be matched via the first stocker 111. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the first stocker 111, and the first holding plate 1311 can be matched with each other.
　その結果、第１のストッカー１１１は、板状部材１４４ａに対応する位置に移動した状態となる。この対応する位置は、板状部材１４４ａが、第１のストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００を押出可能な位置を指す。また、第１の保持板１３１１は、第１のストッカー１１１から押し出された配出物１００を受け取ることができる位置に移動した状態となる。 As a result, the first stocker 111 is in a state of being moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position refers to a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the deliverable 100 housed in the first stocker 111. Further, the first holding plate 1311 is in a state of being moved to a position where the deliverable 100 extruded from the first stocker 111 can be received.
　この状態で、動作制御手段８５が、押出機構１４の動作を制御することにより、第１の押出部１４４の板状部材１４４ａが第１のストッカー１１１に向かって押し出さる。その結果、第１のストッカー１１１の最下部に収容されていた（すなわち底板部１１３３に接していた）メモリ用配出物１００が、第１の保持板１３１１へ送り出される。 In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14, so that the plate-shaped member 144a of the first extrusion portion 144 is pushed out toward the first stocker 111. As a result, the memory delivery 100 housed in the lowermost part of the first stocker 111 (that is, in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133) is sent out to the first holding plate 1311.
　このように、動作制御手段８５が、第１の動作部１２、第２の動作部１３および押出機構１４の動作をそれぞれ独立して制御する方法を、「保持板用配置方法」という。保持板用配置方法によれば、所定のストッカー１１１と、所定の保持板１３１１とがそれぞれ、第１の押出部１４４の板状部材１４４ａ（または板状部材１４４ｂ）に対応する。そして、所定のストッカー１１１の最下部に収容されていた配出物１００が、所定の保持板１３１１へ送り出される。また、所定のストッカー１１１を介して互いに隣接する部材同士の長手方向を対応（一致）させることができる。すなわち、第１の押出部１４４の板状部材１４４ａまたは板状部材１４４ｂ、所定のストッカー１１１の底板部１１３３、および所定の保持板１３１１のそれぞれの長手方向を、対応（一致）させることができる。なお、保持板用配置方法を行うに際して、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３のいずれか一方の動作を制御した後に、他方の動作を制御してもよい。あるいは、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３の動作を同時に制御してもよい。後者の場合、より迅速に、保持板用配置方法を行うことができる。 The method in which the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 is referred to as a "holding plate arrangement method". According to the holding plate arrangement method, the predetermined stocker 111 and the predetermined holding plate 1311 correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a (or the plate-shaped member 144b) of the first extruded portion 144, respectively. Then, the delivery material 100 housed in the lowermost part of the predetermined stocker 111 is sent out to the predetermined holding plate 1311. Further, the longitudinal directions of the members adjacent to each other can be made to correspond (match) with each other via a predetermined stocker 111. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a or the plate-shaped member 144b of the first extrusion portion 144, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the predetermined stocker 111, and the predetermined holding plate 1311 can be matched (matched) with each other. In performing the holding plate arrangement method, the operation control means 85 may control the operation of either the first operation unit 12 or the second operation unit 13 and then control the other operation. .. Alternatively, the motion control means 85 may simultaneously control the motions of the first motion unit 12 and the second motion unit 13. In the latter case, the holding plate arrangement method can be performed more quickly.
　この保持板用配置方法によって、メモリ用配出物１００の配置が行われる。続いて、動作制御手段８５は、第２の動作部１３の動作を制御して、第１の保持板１３１１を撮像部１６の下方へ移動させる。そして、撮像部１６のカメラ１６１は、第１の保持板１３１１に配置されたメモリ用配出物１００の識別情報（２次元コード１０１）を撮影する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第１の保持板１３１１にメモリ用配出物１００が配置されたという情報（以下、「保持板情報」という）を取得する（Ｓ１０４）。 According to this holding plate arrangement method, the memory distribution 100 is arranged. Subsequently, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the second motion unit 13 to move the first holding plate 1311 below the image pickup unit 16. Then, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the memory distribution 100 arranged on the first holding plate 1311. As a result, the acquisition means 81 acquires information that the memory distribution 100 is arranged on the first holding plate 1311 (hereinafter, referred to as “holding plate information”) (S104).
　さらに、ゲーム処理手段８２は、既に取得された保持板情報に基づいて、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数（表４では５枚）のメモリ用配出物１００があるかを確認する（Ｓ１０５）。配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のメモリ用配出物１００がない場合、処理は、ステップ１０３に戻り、ステップ１０３～ステップ１０５が繰り返される。 Further, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the distribution candidate holding unit 131 has a predetermined number of memory distributions 100 (five in Table 4) based on the holding plate information already acquired (5). S105). If the delivery candidate holding unit 131 does not have a predetermined number of memory deliveries 100, the process returns to step 103, and steps 103 to 105 are repeated.
　一方、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のメモリ用配出物１００がある場合、処理は、ステップ１０６に進む。すなわち、この例では、第１～第５の保持板１３１１にすべてメモリ用配出物１００が配置された場合（表４）、処理は、ステップ１０６に進む。ここで、動作制御手段８５は、前述した保持板用配置方法によって、レア配出物ストッカー（例えば表１中の第３のストッカー１１１）からレア配出物１００を押し出す（Ｓ１０６）。これにより、このレア配出物１００が、所定の保持板１３１１（例えば表４中の第６の保持板１３１１）に配置される。 On the other hand, if the distribution candidate holding unit 131 has a predetermined number of memory distribution items 100, the process proceeds to step 106. That is, in this example, when all the memory deliveries 100 are arranged on the first to fifth holding plates 1311 (Table 4), the process proceeds to step 106. Here, the operation control means 85 pushes out the rare distribution 100 from the rare distribution stocker (for example, the third stocker 111 in Table 1) by the holding plate arrangement method described above (S106). As a result, the rare deliverable 100 is arranged on a predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the sixth holding plate 1311 in Table 4).
　具体的に、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３の動作をそれぞれ独立して制御する。これにより、レア配出物１００が収容された第３のストッカー１１１と、第６の保持板１３１１とがそれぞれ、板状部材１４４ａに対応するように配置される。その結果、第３のストッカー１１１は、板状部材１４４ａに対応する位置に移動した状態となる。この対応する位置は、板状部材１４４ａが、第３のストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００を押出可能な位置を指す。また、第６の保持板１３１１は、第３のストッカー１１１から押し出された配出物１００を受け取れる位置に移動した状態となる。この状態で、動作制御手段８５が、押出機構１４の動作を制御する。これにより、板状部材１４４ａが第３のストッカー１１１に向かって押し出さる。そして、第３のストッカー１１１の最下部に収容されていたレア配出物１００が、第６の保持板１３１１へ送り出される。 Specifically, the motion control means 85 independently controls the motions of the first motion unit 12 and the second motion unit 13. As a result, the third stocker 111 containing the rare deliverable 100 and the sixth holding plate 1311 are arranged so as to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a, respectively. As a result, the third stocker 111 is in a state of being moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position refers to a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the deliverable 100 housed in the third stocker 111. Further, the sixth holding plate 1311 is in a state of being moved to a position where the deliverable 100 extruded from the third stocker 111 can be received. In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14. As a result, the plate-shaped member 144a is pushed out toward the third stocker 111. Then, the rare deliverable 100 housed in the lowermost part of the third stocker 111 is sent out to the sixth holding plate 1311.
　このように第６の保持板１３１１へのレア配出物１００の配置が行われる。続いて、動作制御手段８５は、第２の動作部１３の動作を制御して、第６の保持板１３１１を撮像部１６の下方へ移動させる。そして、撮像部１６のカメラ１６１は、第６の保持板１３１１に配置されたレア配出物１００の識別情報を撮影する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第６の保持板１３１１にレア配出物１００が配置されたという保持板情報（当該レア配出物１００にかかるキャラクタ情報等を含む）を取得する（Ｓ１０７）。 In this way, the rare deliverable 100 is placed on the sixth holding plate 1311. Subsequently, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the second motion unit 13 to move the sixth holding plate 1311 below the image pickup unit 16. Then, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs the identification information of the rare deliverable 100 arranged on the sixth holding plate 1311. As a result, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information (including the character information related to the rare distribution 100) that the rare distribution 100 is arranged on the sixth holding plate 1311 (S107).
　さらに、ゲーム処理手段８２は、既に取得された保持板情報に基づいて、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数（表４では２０枚）のレア配出物１００があるかを確認する（Ｓ１０８）。配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のレア配出物１００がない場合、処理は、ステップ１０６に戻り、ステップ１０６～ステップ１０８が繰り返される。 Further, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not a predetermined number (20 in Table 4) of rare deliveries 100 are present in the delivery candidate holding unit 131 based on the holding plate information already acquired (S108). ). If the delivery candidate holding unit 131 does not have a predetermined number of rare deliveries 100, the process returns to step 106, and steps 106 to 108 are repeated.
　一方、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のレア配出物１００がある場合、処理は、ステップ１０９に進む。すなわち、この例では、第６～第２５の保持板１３１１にすべてレア配出物１００が配置された場合（表４）、処理は、ステップ１０９に進む。ここで、動作制御手段８５は、保持板用配置方法によって、ノーマル配出物ストッカー（例えば表１中の第６のストッカー１１１）からノーマル配出物１００を押し出す（Ｓ１０９）。これにより、このノーマル配出物１００が、所定の保持板１３１１（例えば表４における第２６の保持板１３１１）に配置される。 On the other hand, if the distribution candidate holding unit 131 has a predetermined number of rare distributions 100, the process proceeds to step 109. That is, in this example, when all the rare deliveries 100 are arranged on the 6th to 25th holding plates 1311 (Table 4), the process proceeds to step 109. Here, the operation control means 85 pushes out the normal delivery 100 from the normal delivery stocker (for example, the sixth stocker 111 in Table 1) according to the arrangement method for the holding plate (S109). As a result, the normal delivery 100 is arranged on a predetermined holding plate 1311 (for example, the 26th holding plate 1311 in Table 4).
　具体的に、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３の動作をそれぞれ独立して制御する。これにより、ノーマル配出物１００が収容された第６のストッカー１１１と、第２６の保持板１３１１とがそれぞれ、板状部材１４４ａに対応するように配置される。その結果、第６のストッカー１１１は、板状部材１４４ａに対応する位置（板状部材１４４ａが、第６のストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００を押出可能な位置）に移動した状態となる。この対応する位置は、板状部材１４４ａが、第６のストッカー１１１に収容された配出物１００を押出可能な位置を指す。また、第２６の保持板１３１１は、第６のストッカー１１１から押し出された配出物１００を受け取ることができる位置に移動した状態となる。この状態で、動作制御手段８５が、押出機構１４の動作を制御する。これにより、板状部材１４４ａが第６のストッカー１１１に向かって押し出される。その結果、第６のストッカー１１１の最下部に収容されていたノーマル配出物１００が、第２６の保持板１３１１へ送り出される。 Specifically, the motion control means 85 independently controls the motions of the first motion unit 12 and the second motion unit 13. As a result, the sixth stocker 111 containing the normal delivery 100 and the 26th holding plate 1311 are arranged so as to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a, respectively. As a result, the sixth stocker 111 is in a state of being moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a (a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the deliverable 100 housed in the sixth stocker 111). .. This corresponding position refers to a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the deliverable 100 housed in the sixth stocker 111. Further, the 26th holding plate 1311 is in a state of being moved to a position where the delivery 100 extruded from the sixth stocker 111 can be received. In this state, the operation control means 85 controls the operation of the extrusion mechanism 14. As a result, the plate-shaped member 144a is pushed out toward the sixth stocker 111. As a result, the normal delivery 100 housed in the lowermost part of the sixth stocker 111 is sent out to the 26th holding plate 1311.
　このように第２６の保持板１３１１へのノーマル配出物１００の配置が行われる。続いて、動作制御手段８５は、第２の動作部１３の動作を制御して、第２６の保持板１３１１を撮像部１６の下方へ移動させる。そして、撮像部１６のカメラ１６１は、第２６の保持板１３１１に配置されたノーマル配出物１００の識別情報を撮影する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第２６の保持板１３１１にノーマル配出物１００が配置されたという保持板情報（当該ノーマル配出物１００にかかるキャラクタ情報等を含む）を取得する（Ｓ１１０）。 In this way, the normal distribution 100 is arranged on the 26th holding plate 1311. Subsequently, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the second motion unit 13 to move the 26th holding plate 1311 below the image pickup unit 16. Then, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 captures the identification information of the normal distribution 100 arranged on the 26th holding plate 1311. As a result, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information (including the character information related to the normal distribution 100) that the normal distribution 100 is arranged on the 26th holding plate 1311 (S110).
　最後に、ゲーム処理手段８２は、すべての保持板１３１１に配出物１００が配置されたかどうかを確認する（Ｓ１１１）。すなわち、ゲーム処理手段８２は、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数（５０枚）の配出物１００があるかを確認する（Ｓ１１１）。配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数の配出物１００がない場合、処理は、ステップ１０９に戻り、ステップ１０９～ステップ１１１が繰り返される。 Finally, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the deliverable 100 is arranged on all the holding plates 1311 (S111). That is, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the distribution candidate holding unit 131 has a predetermined number (50 sheets) of the distribution items 100 (S111). If the delivery candidate holding unit 131 does not have a predetermined number of deliveries 100, the process returns to step 109, and steps 109 to 111 are repeated.
　一方、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数の配出物１００がある場合、配出物１００の配置は終了となる（Ｓ１１２）。すなわち、この例では、第１～第５の保持板１３１１にメモリ用配出物１００が配置され、第６～第２５の保持板１３１１にレア配出物１００が配置され、第２６～第５０の保持板１３１１にノーマル配出物１００が配置された場合（表４）、配出物１００の配置は終了となる（Ｓ１１２）。 On the other hand, when the distribution candidate holding unit 131 has a predetermined number of distribution items 100, the arrangement of the distribution items 100 ends (S112). That is, in this example, the memory distribution 100 is arranged on the first to fifth holding plates 1311, the rare distribution 100 is arranged on the sixth to 25th holding plates 1311, and the 26th to 50th When the normal deliverable 100 is arranged on the holding plate 1311 (Table 4), the arrangement of the deliverable 100 is completed (S112).
　以上より、第１～第５０の保持板１３１１に、上記表４に示す割合で、メモリ用配出物１００、レア配出物１００およびノーマル配出物１００が配置される。配出物１００が配置された第１～第５０の保持板１３１１の情報（以下、「保持板テーブル情報」という）の一例を下記表５に示す。なお、表５中、第１２～第２２の保持板１３１１および第３２～第４４の保持板１３１１については、説明の都合上、省略している。保持板テーブル情報は、取得手段８１によって取得され、記憶部７に記憶される。なお、記憶部７は、配出物１００がストッカー１１１から保持板１３１１へ送り出されるごとに、取得手段８１が取得した保持板情報を記憶することもできる。 From the above, the memory distribution 100, the rare distribution 100, and the normal distribution 100 are arranged on the first to 50th holding plates 1311 at the ratio shown in Table 4 above. Table 5 below shows an example of information (hereinafter, referred to as “holding plate table information”) of the first to 50th holding plates 1311 on which the deliverables 100 are arranged. In Table 5, the 12th to 22nd holding plates 1311 and the 32nd to 44th holding plates 1311 are omitted for convenience of explanation. The holding plate table information is acquired by the acquisition means 81 and stored in the storage unit 7. The storage unit 7 can also store the holding plate information acquired by the acquisition means 81 each time the distribution 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311.

　また、例えば、各ストッカー１１１に収容される配出物１００の種類や割合を予め決めておくこともできる。そして、配出物１００がストッカー１１１から保持板１３１１へ送り出されるごとに、撮像部１６によって、保持板１３１１に配置される配出物１００の識別情報を読み取ることもできる。これにより、記憶部７がストッカー情報を記憶していない場合であっても、メモリ用配出物１００、レア配出物１００およびノーマル配出物１００を、所定の割合（例えば上記表４に示す割合）で、配出候補保持部１３１に配置することができる。 Further, for example, the type and ratio of the deliverables 100 accommodated in each stocker 111 can be determined in advance. Then, each time the delivery material 100 is sent from the stocker 111 to the holding plate 1311, the imaging unit 16 can read the identification information of the distribution material 100 arranged on the holding plate 1311. As a result, even when the storage unit 7 does not store the stocker information, the memory distribution 100, the rare distribution 100, and the normal distribution 100 are shown in a predetermined ratio (for example, in Table 4 above). Percentage), it can be arranged in the distribution candidate holding unit 131.

　表５、図１５、図１７および図１８を参照して、ゲームプレイにかかる配出処理方法の一例を説明する。具体的に、ゲームプレイが開始された後、ゲームプレイの結果によって、どのように配出物１００が配出されるかを説明する。この説明は、第１～第５０の保持板１３１１に保持された配出物１００の一部が、配出誘導部１５を介して配出口２１から配出されるまでの制御の一例である。 (2) Distribution Processing Method Related to Game Play An example of the distribution processing method related to game play will be described with reference to Table 5, FIG. 15, FIG. 17 and FIG. Specifically, after the game play is started, how the deliverable 100 is distributed according to the result of the game play will be described. This description is an example of control until a part of the delivery material 100 held by the first to 50th holding plates 1311 is delivered from the distribution outlet 21 via the distribution guidance unit 15.
　まず、ゲームをスタートする（Ｓ１）。この際、プレイヤが既にメモリ用配出物１００を有している場合は、読取り部４からメモリ用配出物１００の識別情報が読み取られる。これにより、取得手段８１が、読み取った識別情報に含まれるプレイヤ情報を取得することができる。なお、メモリ用配出物１００を使用せず、ゲームをスタートさせることもできる。 First, start the game (S1). At this time, if the player already has the memory distribution 100, the identification information of the memory distribution 100 is read from the reading unit 4. As a result, the acquisition means 81 can acquire the player information included in the read identification information. It is also possible to start the game without using the memory distribution 100.
　そして、ゲーム処理手段８２は、プレイヤ情報（人数、各プレイヤに紐付けられたキャラクタ情報等）に基づいて、配出候補となる配出物１００を仮選択する（Ｓ２）。本実施形態のゲーム装置１は、２イン１構成であるので、以下の説明では、２プレイヤでゲームを行う場合について説明する。２プレイヤの場合、ゲーム処理手段８２は、保持板テーブル情報（例えば表５）に基づいて、各プレイヤに対して、６個の配出候補となる配出物１００を仮選択する（下表６参照）。この仮選択した情報は、取得手段８１により取得され、記憶部７に一時的に記憶される。なお、ゲームが１プレイヤで行われる場合、動作制御手段８５は、例えば、配出候補となる配出物１００を６個仮選択してもよい。 Then, the game processing means 82 tentatively selects the distribution 100 as a distribution candidate based on the player information (number of people, character information associated with each player, etc.) (S2). Since the game device 1 of the present embodiment has a 2-in-1 configuration, the case where the game is played by two players will be described in the following description. In the case of two players, the game processing means 82 tentatively selects six distribution candidates 100 for each player based on the holding plate table information (for example, Table 5) (Table 6 below). reference). This provisionally selected information is acquired by the acquisition means 81 and temporarily stored in the storage unit 7. When the game is played by one player, the motion control means 85 may tentatively select, for example, six distribution items 100 as distribution candidates.

　その後、プレイヤによって、ゲームが行われる（Ｓ３）。ゲームの結果に応じて、ゲーム処理手段８２は、各プレイヤに対して、仮選択した配出候補の一部または全部を選択する。ここでは、表６に示す配出候補の全部が、動作制御手段８５によって選択されたとする。そして、表示部６は、選択された配出候補を表示する（Ｓ４）。 After that, the game is played by the player (S3). Depending on the result of the game, the game processing means 82 selects a part or all of the provisionally selected distribution candidates for each player. Here, it is assumed that all of the distribution candidates shown in Table 6 are selected by the motion control means 85. Then, the display unit 6 displays the selected distribution candidates (S4).
　表示された配出候補から、各プレイヤは、配出する配出物１００を選択、決定する（Ｓ５）。例えば、プレイヤ１が、レア配出物１００Ａ（第６の保持板１３１１）を選択し、プレイヤ２は、レア配出物１００Ｈ（第２４の保持板１３１１）を選択する。 From the displayed distribution candidates, each player selects and determines the distribution 100 to be distributed (S5). For example, the player 1 selects the rare distribution 100A (sixth holding plate 1311), and the player 2 selects the rare distribution 100H (24th holding plate 1311).
　そして、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２、第２の動作部１３および押出機構１４の動作を、それぞれ独立して制御する。これにより、最終的に第２の押出部１４５が、第６の保持板１３１１からレア配出物１００Ａを配出し、第２４の保持板１３１１からレア配出物１００Ｈを配出する（Ｓ６～Ｓ８）。 Then, the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14. As a result, the second extrusion section 145 finally distributes the rare distribution 100A from the sixth holding plate 1311, and distributes the rare distribution 100H from the 24th holding plate 1311 (S6 to S8). ).
　ステップ６～ステップ８について、図１８を参照して具体的に説明する。まず、プレイヤ１によって選択されたレア配出物１００Ａを配出するために、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３の動作をそれぞれ独立して制御する（Ｓ６）。これにより、図１８に示すように、第２の押出部１４５と、第６の保持板１３１１とが、それぞれ、第１の押出部１４４の板状部材１４４ａに対応するように配置される。これに関し、図１８中、板状部材１４４ａの長手方向に沿うように、第２の押出部１４５の配出用押出部材１４５３と、第６の保持板１３１１とが配置されている。 Steps 6 to 8 will be specifically described with reference to FIG. First, in order to distribute the rare deliverable 100A selected by the player 1, the motion control means 85 independently controls the motions of the first motion unit 12 and the second motion unit 13 (S6). ). As a result, as shown in FIG. 18, the second extruded portion 145 and the sixth holding plate 1311 are arranged so as to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a of the first extruded portion 144, respectively. In this regard, in FIG. 18, a delivery extrusion member 1453 of the second extrusion portion 145 and a sixth holding plate 1311 are arranged along the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a.
　これにより、板状部材１４４ａの長手方向と、板状部材１４４ａに隣接する第２の押出部１４５の長手方向と、この第２の押出部１４５に隣接する第６の保持板１３１１の長手方向とが互いに一致する。換言すれば、第２の押出部１４５を介して互いに隣接する部材同士の長手方向を、対応（一致）させることができる。すなわち、板状部材１４４ａ、第２の押出部１４５、および第６の保持板１３１１のそれぞれの長手方向を、対応（一致）させることができる。 As a result, the longitudinal direction of the plate-shaped member 144a, the longitudinal direction of the second extruded portion 145 adjacent to the plate-shaped member 144a, and the longitudinal direction of the sixth holding plate 1311 adjacent to the second extruded portion 145. Match each other. In other words, the longitudinal directions of the members adjacent to each other can be made to correspond (match) with each other via the second extrusion portion 145. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the second extruded portion 145, and the sixth holding plate 1311 can be matched (matched) with each other.
　その結果、第２の押出部１４５は、板状部材１４４ａに対応する位置に移動した状態となる。この対応する位置は、板状部材１４４ａが、第２の押出部１４５の当接部材１４５２を押出可能な位置を指す。また、第６の保持板１３１１は、そこに配置されたレア配出物１００Ａが、第２の押出部１４５の配出用押出部材１４５３によって押し出される位置に移動した状態となる。 As a result, the second extruded portion 145 is in a state of being moved to a position corresponding to the plate-shaped member 144a. This corresponding position refers to a position where the plate-shaped member 144a can extrude the abutting member 1452 of the second extrusion portion 145. Further, the sixth holding plate 1311 is in a state in which the rare delivery product 100A arranged therein is moved to a position where it is pushed out by the delivery extrusion member 1453 of the second extrusion portion 145.
　この状態で、動作制御手段８５が、押出機構１４の動作を制御して（Ｓ７）、板状部材１４４ａを当接部材１４５２に向かって押し出す。これにより、配出用押出部材１４５３が、第６の保持板１３１１に向かって押し出される。その結果、第６の保持板１３１１に配置されていたレア配出物１００Ａが、配出用押出部材１４５３によって、配出誘導部１５へ送り出される。その後、レア配出物１００Ａは、その自重により、配出口２１へと移動し、配出される（Ｓ８）。 In this state, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the extrusion mechanism 14 (S7) and pushes the plate-shaped member 144a toward the contact member 1452. As a result, the extrusion member 1453 for distribution is extruded toward the sixth holding plate 1311. As a result, the rare delivery product 100A arranged on the sixth holding plate 1311 is sent out to the delivery guidance unit 15 by the delivery extrusion member 1453. After that, the rare deliverable 100A moves to the distribution outlet 21 due to its own weight and is delivered (S8).
　このように、動作制御手段８５が、第１の動作部１２、第２の動作部１３および押出機構１４の動作をそれぞれ独立して制御する方法を、「保持板用配出方法」という。保持板用配出方法により、第２の押出部１４５と、所定の保持板１３１１とをそれぞれ、第１の押出部１４４の板状部材１４４ａ（または板状部材１４４ｂ）に対応させることができる。そして、所定の保持板１３１１に配置された配出物１００を配出することができる。また、第２の押出部１４５を介して互いに隣接する部材の長手方向を、互いに対応（一致）させることができる。すなわち、板状部材１４４ａ、第２の押出部１４５、および所定の保持板１３１１のそれぞれの長手方向を、互いに対応（一致）させることができる。なお、保持板用配出方法を行うに際して、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３のいずれか一方の動作を制御した後に、他方の動作を制御してもよい。また、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３の動作を同時に制御してもよい。後者の場合、より迅速に、保持板用配出方法を行うことができる。 The method in which the operation control means 85 independently controls the operations of the first operation unit 12, the second operation unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 is referred to as a "holding plate distribution method". Depending on the method for delivering the holding plate, the second extrusion portion 145 and the predetermined holding plate 1311 can be made to correspond to the plate-shaped member 144a (or the plate-shaped member 144b) of the first extrusion portion 144, respectively. Then, the deliverable 100 arranged on the predetermined holding plate 1311 can be delivered. Further, the longitudinal directions of the members adjacent to each other via the second extrusion portion 145 can be made to correspond (match) with each other. That is, the longitudinal directions of the plate-shaped member 144a, the second extruded portion 145, and the predetermined holding plate 1311 can be made to correspond (match) with each other. In performing the holding plate distribution method, the motion control means 85 may control the motion of either the first motion unit 12 or the second motion unit 13 and then control the other motion. good. Further, the operation control means 85 may simultaneously control the operations of the first operation unit 12 and the second operation unit 13. In the latter case, the method for delivering the holding plate can be performed more quickly.
　このような保持板用配出方法によって、プレイヤ１によって選択されたレア配出物１００Ａを配出することができる。 With such a holding plate distribution method, the rare distribution 100A selected by the player 1 can be distributed.
　同様に、プレイヤ２によって選択されたレア配出物１００Ｈを配出するために、保持板用配出方法によって、動作制御手段８５は、第１の動作部１２、第２の動作部１３および押出機構１４の動作を、それぞれ独立して制御する。これにより、第２４の保持板１３１１からレア配出物１００Ｈが配出される（Ｓ６～Ｓ８）。その後、ゲームが終了する（Ｓ９）。なお、ゲームの内容によっては、プレイヤは複数の配出物１００を選択可能であってもよく、その場合、ステップ６～ステップ８が繰り返される。また、表６に示すように、プレイヤ１およびプレイヤ２に対して、同じ種類の配出物１００が仮選択された場合（例えば、レア配出物１００Ａが１枚ずつ各プレイヤに対して仮選択された場合）、ゲーム処理手段８２は、協力プレイを実行して、例えば、ゲーム画像が全画面領域６１に表示されてもよい（図５）。また、プレイヤがメモリ用配出物１００を有していない場合、プレイヤは、メモリ用配出物１００の配出要求を行うことができる。かかる要求があれば、動作制御手段８５は、保持板用配出方法により、メモリ用配出物１００を配出することができる。 Similarly, in order to deliver the rare deliverable 100H selected by the player 2, the motion control means 85 may be extruded by the first motion unit 12, the second motion unit 13, and the extrusion plate, depending on the holding plate distribution method. The operation of the mechanism 14 is controlled independently. As a result, the rare deliverable 100H is delivered from the 24th holding plate 1311 (S6 to S8). After that, the game ends (S9). Depending on the content of the game, the player may be able to select a plurality of deliverables 100, in which case steps 6 to 8 are repeated. Further, as shown in Table 6, when the same type of distribution 100 is tentatively selected for the player 1 and the player 2 (for example, one rare distribution 100A is tentatively selected for each player). If so), the game processing means 82 may perform co-op play and, for example, display the game image in the full screen area 61 (FIG. 5). Further, when the player does not have the memory distribution item 100, the player can make a distribution request for the memory distribution item 100. If there is such a request, the operation control means 85 can distribute the memory distribution 100 by the holding plate distribution method.
　以上より、第６の保持板１３１１からレア配出物１００Ａが配出され、第２４の保持板１３１１からレア配出物１００Ｈが配出された。このため、第６の保持板１３１１および第２４の保持板１３１１は、配出物１００が配置されていない状態（空き状態）となる。また、ゲーム開始時に、メモリ用配出物１００が配出されている場合は、空き状態となった保持板１３１１がさらにある。この空き状態に関する情報は、例えば、撮像部１６が空き状態となった保持板１３１１を撮影することにより、取得手段８１が取得することができる。これに関して、各保持板１３１１の配置面１３１１ａに、識別コード（例えばマイクロＱＲコード）を付しておくことが好ましい。これにより、撮像部１６の撮影によって、各保持板１３１１の識別が可能になり、どの保持板１３１１が空き状態であるかという情報（以下、「保持板空き情報」という）をより確実に管理することができる。取得手段８１が取得した保持板空き情報は、記憶部７に記憶される。 From the above, the rare distribution 100A was distributed from the sixth holding plate 1311, and the rare distribution 100H was distributed from the 24th holding plate 1311. Therefore, the sixth holding plate 1311 and the 24th holding plate 1311 are in a state (empty state) in which the distribution 100 is not arranged. Further, when the memory distribution item 100 is distributed at the start of the game, there is further a holding plate 1311 that is in an empty state. The information regarding the vacant state can be acquired by the acquisition means 81, for example, by photographing the holding plate 1311 in which the imaging unit 16 is vacant. In this regard, it is preferable to attach an identification code (for example, a micro QR code) to the arrangement surface 1311a of each holding plate 1311. As a result, each holding plate 1311 can be identified by taking a picture of the imaging unit 16, and information on which holding plate 1311 is in an empty state (hereinafter, referred to as “holding plate empty information”) is managed more reliably. be able to. The holding plate empty information acquired by the acquisition means 81 is stored in the storage unit 7.
　このような場合、ゲーム終了後毎に、配出物１００を補充しておくことが好ましい。以下で、配出物１００の補充方法について説明する。なお、配出物１００の補充は、ゲーム終了後毎に行われなくてもよい。例えば配出物１００の補充は、配出候補保持部１３１に保持されている残りの配出物１００の個数に応じて、適宜行われてもよい。具体的には、配出候補保持部１３１に保持されている配出物１００の数が、半分以下（２５個以下）となった場合に、配出物１００の補充が行われてもよい。 In such a case, it is preferable to replenish the delivery 100 after each game. The method of replenishing the delivery 100 will be described below. Note that the distribution 100 does not have to be replenished after each game. For example, the replenishment of the distribution 100 may be appropriately performed according to the number of the remaining distribution 100 held in the distribution candidate holding unit 131. Specifically, when the number of deliveries 100 held in the delivery candidate holding unit 131 is reduced to half or less (25 or less), the deliverables 100 may be replenished.
　（３）配出物の補充方法
　表１、表４、表５および図１６を参照して、配出物の補充方法の一例を説明する。配出物１００の補充を開始する（Ｓ２０１）。まず、ゲーム処理手段８２は、保持板テーブル情報および保持板空き情報に基づいて、メモリ用配出物１００が配出されたかどうかを確認する（Ｓ２０２）。 (3) Method of replenishing the deliverables An example of the method of replenishing the deliverables will be described with reference to Tables 1, 4, 5 and 16. Replenishment of the delivery 100 is started (S201). First, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the memory distribution 100 has been distributed based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate empty information (S202).
　メモリ用配出物１００が配出されていた場合、処理はステップ２０３に進む。そして、動作制御手段８５が保持板用配置方法を行う。これにより、第１の押出部１４４が、メモリ用配出物ストッカー（例えば表１中の第１のストッカー１１１）から新たなメモリ用配出物１００を押し出す（Ｓ２０３）。その結果、このメモリ用配出物１００が、空き状態の保持板１３１１（例えば第１の保持板１３１１）に配置される。 If the memory delivery item 100 has been distributed, the process proceeds to step 203. Then, the operation control means 85 performs the method of arranging the holding plate. As a result, the first extrusion section 144 pushes out a new memory delivery 100 from the memory delivery stocker (for example, the first stocker 111 in Table 1) (S203). As a result, the memory distribution 100 is arranged on the empty holding plate 1311 (for example, the first holding plate 1311).
　このように第１の保持板１３１１に新たなメモリ用配出物１００が配置される。その後、動作制御手段８５は、第２の動作部１３の動作を制御して、第１の保持板１３１１を撮像部１６の下方へ移動させる。その後、撮像部１６のカメラ１６１は、第１の保持板１３１１に配置された新たなメモリ用配出物１００の識別情報（２次元コード１０１）を撮影する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第１の保持板１３１１に新たなメモリ用配出物１００が配置されたという保持板情報を取得する（Ｓ２０４）。 In this way, the new memory distribution 100 is arranged on the first holding plate 1311. After that, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the second motion unit 13 to move the first holding plate 1311 below the image pickup unit 16. After that, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new memory distribution 100 arranged on the first holding plate 1311. As a result, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information that the new memory distribution 100 is arranged on the first holding plate 1311 (S204).
　さらに、ゲーム処理手段８２は、保持板テーブル情報および保持板空き情報に基づいて、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数（表４では５枚）のメモリ用配出物１００が配置されているどうかを確認する（Ｓ２０５）。配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のメモリ用配出物１００が配置されていない場合、処理はステップ２０３に戻り、ステップ２０３～ステップ２０５が繰り返される。 Further, in the game processing means 82, a predetermined number of memory deliverables 100 (five in Table 4) are arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131 based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate empty information. Confirm whether or not (S205). If a predetermined number of memory deliveries 100 are not arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131, the process returns to step 203, and steps 203 to 205 are repeated.
　一方、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のメモリ用配出物１００が配置されている場合、処理はステップ２０６に進む。また、ステップ２０２に戻って、メモリ用配出物１００が配出されていない場合も、処理はステップ２０６に進む。ここで、ゲーム処理手段８２は、保持板テーブル情報および保持板空き情報に基づいて、レア配出物１００が配出されたかどうかを確認する（Ｓ２０６）。 On the other hand, when a predetermined number of memory deliveries 100 are arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 206. Further, returning to step 202, the process proceeds to step 206 even when the memory distribution 100 has not been distributed. Here, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the rare deliverable 100 has been distributed based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate empty information (S206).
　レア配出物１００が配出されていない場合、処理は、ステップ２０７に進む。ここで、動作制御手段８５が保持板用配置方法を行う。これにより、第１の押出部１４４が、ノーマル配出物ストッカー（例えば表１中の第６のストッカー１１１）から新たなノーマル配出物１００を押し出す（Ｓ２０７）。そして、このノーマル配出物１００が、空き状態の保持板１３１１（例えば第２６の保持板１３１１）に配置される。 If the rare deliverable 100 has not been delivered, the process proceeds to step 207. Here, the operation control means 85 performs the arrangement method for the holding plate. As a result, the first extrusion section 144 pushes out a new normal delivery 100 from the normal delivery stocker (for example, the sixth stocker 111 in Table 1) (S207). Then, the normal delivery 100 is arranged on the holding plate 1311 in an empty state (for example, the 26th holding plate 1311).
　このように、第２６の保持板１３１１に新たなノーマル配出物１００が配置される。その後、動作制御手段８５は、第２の動作部１３の動作を制御して、第２６の保持板１３１１を撮像部１６の下方へ移動させる。また、撮像部１６のカメラ１６１は、第２６の保持板１３１１に配置された新たなノーマル配出物１００の識別情報（２次元コード１０１）を撮影する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第２６の保持板１３１１に新たなノーマル配出物１００が配置されたという保持板情報を取得する（Ｓ２０９）。 In this way, the new normal delivery 100 is arranged on the 26th holding plate 1311. After that, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the second motion unit 13 to move the 26th holding plate 1311 below the image pickup unit 16. Further, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new normal distribution 100 arranged on the 26th holding plate 1311. As a result, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information that the new normal distribution 100 is arranged on the 26th holding plate 1311 (S209).
　ステップ２０６に戻って、レア配出物１００が配出された場合、処理は、ステップ２０８に進む。ここで、動作制御手段８５は、保持板用配置方法によって、レア配出物ストッカー（例えば表１中の第３のストッカー１１１）から新たなレア配出物１００を押し出す（Ｓ２０８）。そして、このレア配出物１００が、空き状態の保持板１３１１（例えば第２３の保持板１３１１）に配置される。 Returning to step 206, if the rare deliverable 100 is delivered, the process proceeds to step 208. Here, the operation control means 85 pushes out a new rare delivery 100 from the rare delivery stocker (for example, the third stocker 111 in Table 1) by the arrangement method for the holding plate (S208). Then, the rare distribution 100 is arranged on the holding plate 1311 in an empty state (for example, the 23rd holding plate 1311).
　このように第２３の保持板１３１１に新たなレア配出物１００が配置される。その後、動作制御手段８５は、第２の動作部１３の動作を制御して、第２３の保持板１３１１を撮像部１６の下方へ移動させる。また、撮像部１６のカメラ１６１は、第２３の保持板１３１１に配置された新たなレア配出物１００の識別情報（２次元コード１０１）を撮影する。これにより、取得手段８１は、第２３の保持板１３１１に新たなレア配出物１００が配置されたという保持板情報を取得する（Ｓ２０９）。 In this way, the new rare delivery 100 is arranged on the 23rd holding plate 1311. After that, the motion control means 85 controls the motion of the second motion unit 13 to move the 23rd holding plate 1311 below the image pickup unit 16. Further, the camera 161 of the imaging unit 16 photographs the identification information (two-dimensional code 101) of the new rare distribution 100 arranged on the 23rd holding plate 1311. As a result, the acquisition means 81 acquires the holding plate information that the new rare deliverable 100 is arranged on the 23rd holding plate 1311 (S209).
　次に、ゲーム処理手段８２は、保持板テーブル情報および保持板空き情報に基づいて、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数（表４では２０枚）のレア配出物１００が配置されているどうかを確認する（Ｓ２１０）。配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のレア配出物１００が配置されていない場合、処理はステップ２０８に戻り、ステップ２０８～ステップ２１０が繰り返される。 Next, in the game processing means 82, a predetermined number (20 in Table 4) of rare deliveries 100 are arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131 based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate empty information. Confirm whether or not (S210). If a predetermined number of rare deliveries 100 are not arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131, the process returns to step 208, and steps 208 to 210 are repeated.
　一方、配出候補保持部１３１に所定の枚数のレア配出物１００が配置されている場合、処理はステップ２１１に進む。ここで、ゲーム処理手段８２は、保持板テーブル情報および保持板空き情報に基づいて、すべての保持板１３１１に配出物１００が配置されているかどうかを確認する（Ｓ２１１）。 On the other hand, when a predetermined number of rare deliveries 100 are arranged in the delivery candidate holding unit 131, the process proceeds to step 211. Here, the game processing means 82 confirms whether or not the deliverables 100 are arranged on all the holding plates 1311 based on the holding plate table information and the holding plate empty information (S211).
　すべての保持板１３１１に配出物１００が配置されていない場合、処理は、ステップ２０７に戻る。一方、すべての保持板１３１１に配出物１００が配置されている場合、補充は終了となる（Ｓ２１２）。 If the deliverables 100 are not arranged on all the holding plates 1311, the process returns to step 207. On the other hand, when the deliverables 100 are arranged on all the holding plates 1311, the replenishment is completed (S212).
　なお、レア配出物１００が配出された保持板１３１１に配出物１００を補充する際、レア配出物１００ではなく、ノーマル配出物１００を補充するようにしてもよい。これに関しては、レア配出物１００を配出することが好ましい。これにより、複数の保持板１３１１、すなわち配出候補保持部１３１に一定数のレア配出物１００を配置することができる。換言すれば、配出候補保持部１３１に配置される配出物１００の種類の割合を制御することができる。その結果、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物１００を効率的に配出することができる。 When replenishing the distribution 100 to the holding plate 1311 to which the rare distribution 100 has been distributed, the normal distribution 100 may be replenished instead of the rare distribution 100. In this regard, it is preferable to distribute the rare distribution 100. As a result, a certain number of rare deliveries 100 can be arranged on the plurality of holding plates 1311, that is, the delivery candidate holding portions 131. In other words, it is possible to control the ratio of the types of the deliverables 100 arranged in the deliverable candidate holding unit 131. As a result, the distribution 100 can be efficiently distributed according to the result of the game.
　これに対して、従来のゲーム装置では、配出候補となる複数の配出物１００の種類を制御していなかった。このため、ゲームの結果に応じた配出物１００を配出することが困難になる場合があった。例えば、ゲームの結果に応じて、レア配出物１００を配出しようとしても、配出候補となる複数の配出物１００にレア配出物１００が含まれていない場合もあった。 On the other hand, the conventional game device did not control the types of a plurality of deliverables 100 as delivery candidates. For this reason, it may be difficult to distribute the distribution 100 according to the result of the game. For example, even if an attempt is made to distribute the rare distribution 100 according to the result of the game, the rare distribution 100 may not be included in the plurality of distribution candidates 100 that are candidates for distribution.
　以上、前述の処理方法は、コンピュータで実行されるプログラムで作成可能である。このようなプログラムは、ＣＰＵ（Ｃｅｎｔｒａｌ　Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓｉｎｇ　Ｕｎｉｔ）、マイクロプロセッサ（Ｍｉｃｒｏ　Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓｏｒ）、ＧＰＵ（Ｇｒａｐｈｉｃ　Ｐｒｏｃｅｓｓｉｎｇ　Ｕｎｉｔ）、ＲＡＭ（Ｒａｎｄｏｍ　Ａｃｃｅｓｓ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）、ＲＯＭ（Ｒｅａｄ　Ｏｎｌｙ　Ｍｅｍｏｒｙ）等によって実現される。 As mentioned above, the above-mentioned processing method can be created by a program executed on a computer. Such a program is realized by a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a microprocessor (Micro Processor), a GPU (Graphic Processing Unit), a RAM (Random Access Memory), a ROM (Read Only Memory), and the like.
　＜＜第２実施形態＞＞
　次に、本発明の配出機構の第２実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。 << Second Embodiment >>
Next, a second embodiment of the distribution mechanism of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
　図１９は、本発明の第２実施形態にかかる配出機構が備える収容部および配出候補保持部を模式的に示す平面図である。以下、第２実施形態について説明するが、前述した第１実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、同様の事項についてはその説明を省略する。なお、前述した第１実施形態と同様の構成には、同一の符号を付してある。 FIG. 19 is a plan view schematically showing a housing unit and a distribution candidate holding unit included in the distribution mechanism according to the second embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the second embodiment will be described, but the differences from the first embodiment described above will be mainly described, and the description of the same matters will be omitted. The same reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the first embodiment described above.
　本実施形態の配出機構１０Ａは、押出機構を有していない点で、前記第１実施形態の配出機構１０と異なる。具体的に、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ａでは、図１９に示すように、収容部１１は、各ストッカー１１１に設けられた底板部１１３３の上面に、スライダー部１１３３Ａを備えるように構成されている。スライダー部１１３３Ａは、配出物１００の幅と同程度の幅を有する第１のスライダー部材１１３３ｂと、底板部１１３３に内設された、第１のスライダー部材１１３３ｂよりも幅狭の第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃと、を有している。第１のスライダー部材１１３３ｂおよび第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃは、独立して動作可能に構成されている。 The delivery mechanism 10A of the present embodiment is different from the delivery mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in that it does not have an extrusion mechanism. Specifically, in the distribution mechanism 10A of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the accommodating portion 11 is configured to include the slider portion 1133A on the upper surface of the bottom plate portion 1133 provided on each stocker 111. There is. The slider portion 1133A has a first slider member 1133b having a width similar to the width of the distribution 100 and a second slider narrower than the first slider member 1133b provided in the bottom plate portion 1133. It has a member 1133c and. The first slider member 1133b and the second slider member 1133c are configured to be independently operable.
　第１のスライダー部材１１３３ｂは、配出候補保持部１３１に向かってスライドし、スライド後は元の位置に直ちに戻るように構成されている。これにより、底板部１１３３に接する配出物１００を順次、配出候補保持部１３１へ送り出すことができる。 The first slider member 1133b is configured to slide toward the distribution candidate holding unit 131 and immediately return to the original position after the slide. As a result, the deliverables 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133 can be sequentially sent out to the deliverable candidate holding portion 131.
　また、第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃは、第１のスライダー部材１１３３ｂとは別にスライド可能である。また、第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃは、配出候補保持部１３１に向かってスライドし、スライド後は元の位置に直ちに戻るように構成されている。第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃは、底板部１１３３に接する配出物１００がストッカー１１１に維持された状態で、スライド可能になるように、底板部１１３３に内設されている。このため、第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃがスライドすると、第２のスライダー部材１１３３ｃによって、保持板１３１１に配置された配出物１００が押し出され、配出誘導部１５へ送り出される。 Further, the second slider member 1133c can slide separately from the first slider member 1133b. Further, the second slider member 1133c is configured to slide toward the distribution candidate holding portion 131 and immediately return to the original position after the slide. The second slider member 1133c is internally provided in the bottom plate portion 1133 so that the deliverable 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133 can be slidable while being maintained by the stocker 111. Therefore, when the second slider member 1133c slides, the distribution material 100 arranged on the holding plate 1311 is pushed out by the second slider member 1133c and sent out to the distribution guidance unit 15.
　このように、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ａは、第１実施形態の配出機構１０が有する効果と同様の効果を有する。換言すれば、収容部１１が、第１実施形態の押出機構１４の機能と同様の機能を備えている。なお、収容部１１および配出候補保持部１３１が、第１実施形態の押出機構１４の第１の押出部１４４および第２の押出部１４５の機能と同様の機能をそれぞれ備えていてもよい。 As described above, the distribution mechanism 10A of the present embodiment has the same effect as that of the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. In other words, the accommodating portion 11 has a function similar to that of the extrusion mechanism 14 of the first embodiment. The accommodating section 11 and the delivery candidate holding section 131 may have the same functions as those of the first extrusion section 144 and the second extrusion section 145 of the extrusion mechanism 14 of the first embodiment, respectively.
　本実施形態の配出機構１０Ａは、押出機構１４を有していないため、機構自体を小型化することができる。これにより、装置に必要なコストを低減することができる。また、第１の動作部１２および第２の動作部１３が動作することで、保持板用配置方法および、保持板用配出方法を行うことができる。これにより、ゲームの結果に応じて、配出物を効率的に配出することができる。 Since the delivery mechanism 10A of the present embodiment does not have the extrusion mechanism 14, the mechanism itself can be miniaturized. As a result, the cost required for the device can be reduced. Further, by operating the first operating unit 12 and the second operating unit 13, the holding plate arrangement method and the holding plate distribution method can be performed. As a result, the deliverables can be efficiently distributed according to the result of the game.
　＜＜第３実施形態＞＞
　次に、本発明の配出機構の第３実施形態について説明する。 << Third Embodiment >>
Next, a third embodiment of the distribution mechanism of the present invention will be described.
　以下、第３実施形態について説明するが、前述した第１実施形態との相違点を中心に説明し、同様の事項についてはその説明を省略する。なお、前述した第１実施形態と同様の構成は、同一の符号を付して説明する。 Hereinafter, the third embodiment will be described, but the differences from the first embodiment described above will be mainly described, and the same matters will be omitted. The same configuration as that of the first embodiment described above will be described with the same reference numerals.
　本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｂは、第１の動作部１２、第２の動作部１３および押出機構１４が直線的に動作するように構成されている。そして、この構成に合わせて、各部材が構成されている。例えば、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１および第２の動作部１３の配列部１３２は長尺状をなしている。これらの点で、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｂは、前記第１実施形態の配出機構１０と異なる。特に、複数のストッカー１１１および第２の押出部１４５が直線的に整列して第１の動作部１２に設けられている。また、第１の動作部１２の一方の側に沿って第２の動作部１３が併設されている。また、第１の動作部１２の他方の側に、第１の押出部１４４が設けられている。これにより、第１の押出部１４４は、第１の動作部１２および第２の押出部１４５に隣接して動作可能（平行に移動可能）となっている。このような本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｂも、第１実施形態の配出機構１０が有する効果と同様の効果を有する。 The distribution mechanism 10B of the present embodiment is configured such that the first operating unit 12, the second operating unit 13, and the extrusion mechanism 14 operate linearly. Then, each member is configured according to this configuration. For example, the mounting portion 121 of the first moving portion 12 and the arranging portion 132 of the second moving portion 13 have a long shape. In these respects, the distribution mechanism 10B of the present embodiment is different from the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. In particular, the plurality of stockers 111 and the second extrusion section 145 are linearly aligned and provided in the first operating section 12. Further, a second operating unit 13 is provided along one side of the first operating unit 12. Further, a first extrusion unit 144 is provided on the other side of the first operation unit 12. As a result, the first extruded portion 144 is movable (movable in parallel) adjacent to the first operating portion 12 and the second extruded portion 145. The distribution mechanism 10B of the present embodiment also has the same effect as that of the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment.
　＜＜第４実施形態＞＞
　次に、本発明の配出機構の第４実施形態を添付図面に基づいて説明する。 << Fourth Embodiment >>
Next, a fourth embodiment of the distribution mechanism of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Hereinafter, the fourth embodiment will be described, but the differences from the first embodiment described above will be mainly described, and the description of the same matters will be omitted. The same and similar reference numerals are given to the same configurations as those of the first embodiment described above.
　本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃは、主に、収容部１１’の構成が、前記第１実施形態の配出機構１０のものと異なる。また、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃは、配出誘導部１５が、配出候補保持部１３１の上方に、覆部１５３を有する点で、前記第１実施形態の配出機構１０と異なる。また、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃは、台座部１８に設けられた動作ボタン１９を備える点で、前記第１実施形態の配出機構１０と異なる。また、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃは、検出部１７が、ストッカー１１１’に収容されている配出物１００の枚数情報を検出するための第５のセンサ１７５を備える点で、前記第１実施形態の配出機構１０と異なる。以下、これらの異なる点について、具体的に説明する。 The distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment mainly differs from that of the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in the configuration of the accommodating portion 11'. Further, the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment is different from the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in that the distribution guidance unit 15 has a cover portion 153 above the distribution candidate holding unit 131. Further, the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment is different from the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment in that it includes an operation button 19 provided on the pedestal portion 18. Further, in the delivery mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the detection unit 17 includes a fifth sensor 175 for detecting information on the number of deliveries 100 housed in the stocker 111'. It is different from the distribution mechanism 10 of the embodiment. Hereinafter, these different points will be specifically described.
　図２０、図２１および図２３に示すように、収容部１１’の複数のストッカー１１１’、すなわち、第１～第１０のストッカー１１１’のそれぞれは、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して、一定の角度（例えば４５°～８０°）で角度付けられて設置されている。当該角度は、ストッカー１１１’が第１の動作部１２に設置された状態において、載置部１２１の上面と、この上面に対向するストッカー１１１’（本体部１１２’）の側面とによって形成される角度を意味する。このように設置されたストッカー１１１’は、本体部１１２’と、足部１１３’と、下駄部１１４とを備えている。
　本体部１１２’は、切欠き部１１２Ａの位置が、前記第１実施形態のものと異なる。すなわち、ストッカー１１１’が第１の動作部１２に設けられた状態で、本体部１１２’の外側（配出候補保持部１３１側）の面に、切欠き部１１２Ａが設けられている。切欠き部１１２Ａの位置に対応するように、足部１１３’の枠状部１１３２に、スリット部１１３Ｅが形成されている（図２２参照）。これにより、複数のストッカー１１１’が第１の動作部１２上に円環状に設けられている場合であっても、収容部１１’の外側から、各ストッカー１１１’に収容されている配出物１００の枚数を容易に確認することができる。例えば、収容部１１’の外周側に、後述する第５のセンサ１７５を設けることにより、各ストッカー１１１’に収容されている配出物１００の枚数情報を検出することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 20, 21 and 23, each of the plurality of stockers 111'of the accommodating portion 11', that is, the first to tenth stockers 111' is the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12. It is installed at a constant angle (for example, 45 ° to 80 °) with respect to the upper surface of the. The angle is formed by the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 and the side surface of the stocker 111'(main body portion 112') facing the upper surface in a state where the stocker 111'is installed on the first operating portion 12. Means an angle. The stocker 111'installed in this way includes a main body portion 112', a foot portion 113', and a clog portion 114.
The position of the notch portion 112A of the main body portion 112'is different from that of the first embodiment. That is, with the stocker 111'provided on the first operating portion 12, the notch portion 112A is provided on the outer surface (delivery candidate holding portion 131 side) of the main body portion 112'. A slit portion 113E is formed in the frame-shaped portion 1132 of the foot portion 113'so as to correspond to the position of the notch portion 112A (see FIG. 22). As a result, even when a plurality of stockers 111'are provided in an annular shape on the first operating portion 12, the deliverables housed in each stocker 111'from the outside of the accommodating portion 11'. The number of 100 sheets can be easily confirmed. For example, by providing a fifth sensor 175, which will be described later, on the outer peripheral side of the accommodating portion 11', it is possible to detect the number information of the deliverables 100 accommodated in each stocker 111'.
　また、前記第１実施形態の底板部１１３３は、基部１１３１の前面１１３１ａの上端部から、後面１１３１ａ’の中段付近に向かって傾斜して形成されていた。これに対して、本実施形態の底板部１１３３’は、このような傾斜無しで、ストッカー１１１’の長手方向に直交する方向に沿って、足部１１３’の底面を構成するように形成されている（図２２参照）。これに伴って、枠状部１１３２の長スカート部１１３２ａおよび短スカート部１１３２ａ’が省略されている。なお、枠状部１１３２と底板部１１３３’との間には、第１の押出部１４４が挿通可能な間隙１１３Ｂと、第１の押出部１４４によって押し出される配出１００が挿通可能な間隙１１３Ｃと、が形成されている。
　このような足部１１３’の下側に、下駄部１１４が接続されている。下駄部１１４は、ストッカー１１１’（本体部１１２’および足部１１３’）を、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して、一定の角度（例えば４５°～８０°）で角度付けるように構成されている。かかる構成により、ストッカー１１１’が第１の動作部１２に設けられた状態で、底板部１１３３’を、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して、所定の傾斜角度（例えば１０°～４５°）で角度付けることができる。 Further, the bottom plate portion 1133 of the first embodiment is formed so as to be inclined from the upper end portion of the front surface 1131a of the base portion 1131 toward the vicinity of the middle stage of the rear surface 1131a'. On the other hand, the bottom plate portion 1133'of the present embodiment is formed so as to form the bottom surface of the foot portion 113' along the direction orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the stocker 111'without such an inclination. (See FIG. 22). Along with this, the long skirt portion 1132a and the short skirt portion 1132a'of the frame-shaped portion 1132 are omitted. Between the frame-shaped portion 1132 and the bottom plate portion 1133', a gap 113B through which the first extrusion portion 144 can be inserted and a gap 113C through which the distribution 100 extruded by the first extrusion portion 144 can be inserted. , Are formed.
A geta portion 114 is connected to the lower side of such a foot portion 113'. The geta portion 114 attaches the stocker 111'(main body portion 112' and foot portion 113') to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12 at a constant angle (for example, 45 ° to 80 °). It is configured to be angled. With such a configuration, with the stocker 111'provided on the first operating portion 12, the bottom plate portion 1133'is tilted at a predetermined angle (for example, with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12). It can be angled from 10 ° to 45 °).
　このような本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃも、複数の部材同士が、対応する傾斜構造を有するので、第１実施形態の配出機構１０が有する効果と同様の効果を有する。さらに、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃによれば、配出物１００自体の重みによって底板部１１３３’（および底板部１１３３’に接する配出物１００）にかかる力が軽減される。このため、配出物１００を支えた状態の底板部１１３３’を、第１の動作部１２の載置部１２１の上面に対して所定の角度（例えば１０°～４５°）で傾斜させるとともに、底板部１１３３’に接する配出物１００を配出候補保持部１３１へ円滑に送り出すことができる。 Since the plurality of members of the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment also have corresponding inclined structures, the distribution mechanism 10C of the first embodiment has the same effect as that of the distribution mechanism 10 of the first embodiment. Further, according to the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the force applied to the bottom plate portion 1133'(and the distribution 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133') is reduced by the weight of the distribution 100 itself. Therefore, the bottom plate portion 1133'supporting the deliverable 100 is tilted at a predetermined angle (for example, 10 ° to 45 °) with respect to the upper surface of the mounting portion 121 of the first operating portion 12. The delivery material 100 in contact with the bottom plate portion 1133'can be smoothly sent out to the delivery candidate holding portion 131.
　加えて、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃでは、配出誘導部１５が、配出候補保持部１３１の上方に、覆部１５３を有する。覆部１５３は、配出候補保持部１３１の上側および外周側を覆うように形成されている。これにより、配出候補保持部１３１の保持板１３１１から配出誘導部１５へ押し出された配出物１００が、配出路１５２以外の部分へ逃げ出すことを防止することができる。
　また、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃは、台座部１８に設けられた動作ボタン１９を備えている。動作ボタン１９は、配出物１００を収容部１１’に補充する際等に、第１の動作部１２を自動で回転させるためのボタンである。かかる機能を発揮するための機能を割り振ることができるように、動作ボタン１９は、第１の動作ボタン１９ａと、第２の動作ボタン１９ｂと、第３の動作ボタン１９ｃとを有している。例えば、第１の動作ボタン１９ａには、第１の動作部１２を時計回りに回転させる機能を割り振ることができる。また、第２の動作ボタン１９ｂには、第１の動作部１２を反時計回りに回転させる機能を割り振ることができる。また、第３の動作ボタン１９ｃには、第１の動作ボタン１９ａおよび第２の動作ボタン１９ｂのロック機能／ロック解除機能を割り振ることができる。動作ボタン１９が操作（押圧）されることによって、第１の動作部１２を自動で回転させることができる。このため、筐体２の内部の奥にあるストッカー１１１’に配出物１００を補充することがより容易になる。なお、動作ボタン１９の構成は、上述した構成に限定されず、例えば、ボタンの数は１つであってもよい。
　また、本実施形態の配出機構１０Ｃは、検出部１７が、ストッカー１１１に収容されている配出物１００の枚数情報を検出するための第５のセンサ１７５を備えている。第５のセンサ１７５は、ストッカー１１１’の本体部１１２’の切欠き部１１２Ａを介して、配出物１００の枚数情報を検出するように構成される。このため、第５のセンサ１７５は、ストッカー１１１に収容されている配出物１００が、所定の数以上であるか、所定の数以下であるかを検出することができる。これにより、配出物１００の補充（入替）のタイミングを容易に検出することができる。本実施形態では、第５のセンサ１７５は、ゲート部１５１に併設されているが、設置位置や数は、これらに限定されない。 In addition, in the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the distribution guidance unit 15 has a cover unit 153 above the distribution candidate holding unit 131. The covering portion 153 is formed so as to cover the upper side and the outer peripheral side of the distribution candidate holding portion 131. As a result, it is possible to prevent the delivery material 100 extruded from the holding plate 1311 of the distribution candidate holding unit 131 to the distribution guidance unit 15 from escaping to a portion other than the distribution path 152.
Further, the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment includes an operation button 19 provided on the pedestal portion 18. The operation button 19 is a button for automatically rotating the first operation unit 12 when the delivery unit 100 is replenished to the accommodating unit 11'. The operation button 19 has a first operation button 19a, a second operation button 19b, and a third operation button 19c so that a function for exerting such a function can be assigned. For example, the first operation button 19a can be assigned a function of rotating the first operation unit 12 clockwise. Further, the second operation button 19b can be assigned a function of rotating the first operation unit 12 counterclockwise. Further, the lock function / unlock function of the first operation button 19a and the second operation button 19b can be assigned to the third operation button 19c. By operating (pressing) the operation button 19, the first operation unit 12 can be automatically rotated. Therefore, it becomes easier to replenish the stocker 111'in the inner part of the housing 2 with the deliverable 100. The configuration of the operation button 19 is not limited to the configuration described above, and the number of buttons may be one, for example.
Further, in the distribution mechanism 10C of the present embodiment, the detection unit 17 includes a fifth sensor 175 for detecting the number information of the distribution 100 housed in the stocker 111. The fifth sensor 175 is configured to detect the number information of the delivery 100 via the notch 112A of the main body 112'of the stocker 111'. Therefore, the fifth sensor 175 can detect whether the number of deliveries 100 housed in the stocker 111 is a predetermined number or more or a predetermined number or less. Thereby, the timing of replenishment (replacement) of the deliverable 100 can be easily detected. In the present embodiment, the fifth sensor 175 is attached to the gate portion 151, but the installation position and number are not limited thereto.
　以上、本発明のゲーム装置および配出機構を、好適な実施形態に基づいて説明したが、本発明はこれに限定されない。各部の構成は、同様の機能を有する任意の構成に修正、置換することができる。また、本発明に、他の任意の手段または構成物が付加されていてもよい。また、本発明は、前記各実施形態のうちの、任意の２以上の構成（特徴）の組合せを含んでいてもよい。 The game device and the distribution mechanism of the present invention have been described above based on preferred embodiments, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The configuration of each part can be modified or replaced with any configuration having the same function. In addition, any other means or constituents may be added to the present invention. Further, the present invention may include a combination of any two or more configurations (features) in each of the above-described embodiments.
　例えば、収容部の底板部が、バネ部材により、弾性的に付勢されているように構成されていてもよい。この場合、収容部のストッカーに収容される配出物の数によっては、底板部が所定の角度に傾斜しない場合もある。このため、ストッカーの上部に錘部材が設けられてもよい。また、各部の構成は、その機能を適切に発揮できる限り、特に限定されない。例えば、各部は、硬質樹脂材料、金属材料、セラミックス材料等により形成することができる。また、各モーターは、駆動部として、動作部とは別に定義することもできる。 For example, the bottom plate portion of the accommodating portion may be configured to be elastically urged by a spring member. In this case, the bottom plate may not be tilted at a predetermined angle depending on the number of deliverables accommodated in the stocker of the accommodating portion. Therefore, a weight member may be provided on the upper part of the stocker. Further, the configuration of each part is not particularly limited as long as the function can be appropriately exhibited.
