Description

本発明は、遊技を演出する遊技機の演出手段に関する。 The present invention relates to a game machine directing means for producing a game.

従来、パチンコ機に設け、演出時に動作する可動手段を可動させて演出を行う演出手段が知られている。例えば特許文献1に記載の遊技機は、可動役物ユニットがメイン可動演出部材とサブ可動演出部材を備える。特許文献1の変形例において、メイン可動演出部材はケースから1つの軸方向に直動可能に設けられ、サブ可動演出部材はメイン可動演出部材に回動可能に設けられる。サブ可動演出部材は、ケースに設けた待受ガイドに当接するガイド当接部を備える。 Conventionally, there are known production means that are provided in a pachinko machine and that perform production by moving movable means that operates during production. For example, in the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1, the movable accessory unit includes a main movable effect member and a sub movable effect member. In the modified example of Patent Document 1, the main movable effect member is provided so as to be linearly movable in one axial direction from the case, and the sub movable effect member is rotatably provided on the main movable effect member. The sub-movable effect member includes a guide contact portion that contacts the standby guide provided on the case.

メイン可動演出部材が1つの軸方向に移動し、ケースから露出する過程で、ガイド当接部が待受ガイドに当接する。メイン可動演出部材が更に移動すると、ガイド当接部が待ち受けガイドに当接した状態を維持する為、サブ可動演出部材がメイン可動演出部材に対して回動する。 In the process of the main movable effect member moving in one axial direction and being exposed from the case, the guide contact portion comes into contact with the standby guide. When the main movable effect member moves further, the sub movable effect member rotates with respect to the main movable effect member in order to maintain the state in which the guide contact portion is in contact with the standby guide.

しかしながら、サブ可動演出部材の時計回り方向と反時計回り方向への回動のみを繰り返し行うには、メイン可動演出部材が1つの軸方向において往復移動する必要がある。このため、メイン可動演出部材が静止した状態でサブ可動演出部材だけを回動することができなかった。 However, in order to repeatedly rotate only the sub-movable effect member in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction, the main movable effect member needs to reciprocate in one axial direction. Therefore, it was not possible to rotate only the sub movable effect member while the main movable effect member was stationary.

A decorative frame provided with an opening that penetrates in the front-rear direction and exposes a display portion of the symbol display means through the opening, and a decorative frame provided in the decorative frame of the gaming machine, which is provided for a game by motion. A direct-moving effect means for producing a game by moving linearly between a storage position overlapping the decorative frame and an effect position exposed in front of the display unit for producing the effect. A front cover provided on the linear motion effect means and covering the front surface of the linear motion effect means, and a support end provided on the linear motion effect means and one end of the linear motion effect means rotate to the linear motion effect means. A rotation in which the free end opposite to the support end rotates between an approaching position where the free end approaches the front cover and a separation position where the free end moves away from the front cover to produce a game. The dynamic effect means, the drive means for generating the driving force for driving the linear motion effect means and the rotation effect means, and the drive force of the drive means are transmitted to the linear motion effect means, and the linear motion effect means. Is connected to the first transmission means that moves between the storage position and the effect position, and the driving force that the first transmission means transmits to the linear motion effect means is rotated. A second transmission means that transmits to the effect means and moves the rotation effect means between the approach position and the distance position is provided, and the first transmission means is connected to the drive means and rotates. A first protruding member provided on the gear in a protruding shape and moving in an arc shape around the rotation axis of the gear by rotation of the gear, and a first protruding member provided on the linear motion effect means and engaged with the first protruding member. The first groove cam includes a first groove cam, which extends in an intersecting direction intersecting the moving direction of the linear motion effect means, and is on one side of the intersecting direction with respect to the position of the rotation axis of the gear. An arc shape that is located on the other side of the intersecting direction with respect to the position of the extending portion and is connected to the extending portion, and whose radius is the distance between the rotating shaft and the first protruding member. The second transmission means extends between one end and the other end, and the one end is rotatably supported by the first protrusion member and is rotatably supported by the first protrusion member. A connecting means having a linear second groove cam, and a second protruding member provided in a protrusion shape between the support end and the free end of the rotation effect means and engaged with the second groove cam. , The first transmission means and the second transmission means , Each of which can shift to a transmission state in which the driving force is transmitted and a non-transmission state in which the driving force is not transmitted, and when the first transmission means is in the transmission state, the second transmission means is the non-transmission. In the state, when the first transmission means shifts from the transmission state to the non-transmission state, the second transmission means shifts from the non-transmission state to the transmission state, and the first transmission means shifts to the transmission state. In the state, the first protruding member is located in the stretched portion, and when the first transmitting means is in the non-transmitting state, the first protruding member is located in the bent portion, and the second transmitting means is said. In the transmission state, the second protrusion member abuts on the edge of the second groove cam on the side far from the one end, and when the second transmission means is in the non-transmission state, the second protrusion member is said. A production means for a game machine, characterized in that the second groove cam is located away from the edge portion .

本態様に係る第一伝達手段と第二伝達手段は同時に伝達状態にならず、直動演出手段が格納位置から演出位置に移動した状態で、回動演出手段が接近位置と離間位置との間で移動できるようになる。即ち、第二伝達手段が伝達状態になり回動演出手段が移動可能なとき、直動演出手段は演出位置に位置し、且つ第一伝達手段は非伝達状態である。よって演出手段は、直動演出手段が静止した状態で回動演出手段を回動することができる。回動演出手段は直動演出手段に支持されており、直動演出手段が演出位置に位置するときに回動演出手段の回動による演出が行われるので、回動演出手段も表示部の前方に露出しており、回動演出手段の動作に遊技者の注目を集めることができる。また、直動演出手段の移動と回動演出手段の回動を1つの駆動手段で行うことができるので、部品点数を減らして低コスト化を図ることができる。 The first transmission means and the second transmission means according to this aspect are not in the transmission state at the same time, and the rotation effect means is between the approaching position and the separation position in a state where the linear motion effect means is moved from the storage position to the effect position. You will be able to move with. That is, when the second transmission means is in the transmission state and the rotation effect means is movable, the linear motion effect means is located at the effect position and the first transmission means is in the non-transmission state. Therefore, the effect means can rotate the rotation effect means while the linear effect means is stationary. The rotation effect means is supported by the linear motion effect means, and when the linear motion effect means is located at the effect position, the effect is performed by the rotation of the rotation effect means, so that the rotation effect means is also in front of the display unit. It is exposed to the player and can attract the attention of the player to the operation of the rotation effect means. Further, since the movement of the linear motion effect means and the rotation of the rotation effect means can be performed by one drive means, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

一突起部材は回転軸の周囲を円弧状に移動する。第一突起部材が延伸部に位置するときにギアが回転すると、第一突起部材は移動の方向成分のうち交差方向の成分によって延伸部内で交差方向に移動する。そして、第一突起部材は移動の方向成分のうち直動演出手段の移動方向の成分によって、延伸部の側壁を移動方向に押圧する。このため、直動演出手段は移動方向に直線状に移動することができる。第一突起部材が屈曲部に位置するときにギアが回転すると、第一突起部材は屈曲部に沿って円弧状に移動するので屈曲部の側壁を押圧せず、直動演出手段は静止することができる。 The first protrusion member moves in an arc shape around the rotation axis. When the gear rotates when the first protrusion member is located in the stretched portion, the first protrusion member moves in the crossing direction in the stretched portion due to the crossing direction component of the moving direction components. Then, the first protrusion member presses the side wall of the stretched portion in the moving direction by the moving direction component of the linear motion effect means among the moving direction components. Therefore, the linear motion effect means can move linearly in the moving direction. When the gear rotates when the first protrusion member is located at the bent portion, the first protrusion member moves in an arc shape along the bent portion, so that the side wall of the bent portion is not pressed and the linear motion effect means is stationary. Can be done.

二突起部材は、直動演出手段が移動するときは接近位置に位置し、ギアに対して移動方向に移動する。第二突起部材は第二溝カム内で縁部から離れて移動できるので、第一突起部材と第二突起部材との間の距離が、第二溝カムと第二突起部材とが係合する位置によって調整される。よって、直動演出手段が移動するとき、回動演出手段は静止することができる。ギアが回転し、第一突起部材が第一溝カムの屈曲部に沿って移動すると、第一突起部材と第二突起部材との間の距離が離れる。第二突起部材は第二溝カムの縁部に当接する。連結手段が第一突起部材と共に第二突起部材から離れる方向に移動するので、第二溝カムの縁部は第二突起部材を押圧し、回動演出手段を回動することができる。 The second protrusion member is located at an approaching position when the linear motion effect means moves, and moves in the moving direction with respect to the gear. Since the second protrusion member can move away from the edge in the second groove cam, the distance between the first protrusion member and the second protrusion member is such that the second groove cam and the second protrusion member engage with each other. Adjusted by position. Therefore, when the linear motion effect means moves, the rotation effect means can be stationary. When the gear rotates and the first protrusion member moves along the bent portion of the first groove cam, the distance between the first protrusion member and the second protrusion member increases. The second protrusion member comes into contact with the edge of the second groove cam. Since the connecting means moves in the direction away from the second protrusion member together with the first protrusion member, the edge portion of the second groove cam can press the second protrusion member and rotate the rotation effect means.

本態様は前記回動演出手段を前記離間位置から前記接近位置へ向けて付勢する付勢手段を備えてもよい。直動演出手段が移動するとき、第二突起部材は第二溝カム内で縁部から離れており、第二溝カムに沿って移動可能な状態にある。付勢手段は回動演出手段を付勢することで、回動演出手段を接近位置に保持することができる。よって、演出手段は、直動演出手段の移動に伴う振動等により、回動演出手段が回動することを防止することができる。 This embodiment may include an urging means for urging the rotation effect means from the separated position to the approaching position. When the linear motion effect means moves, the second protrusion member is separated from the edge portion in the second groove cam and is in a state of being movable along the second groove cam. By urging the rotation effect means, the urging means can hold the rotation effect means in an approaching position. Therefore, the effect means can prevent the rotation effect means from rotating due to vibration or the like accompanying the movement of the linear motion effect means.

本態様の前記第一突起部材が、前記第一溝カムの前記屈曲部の前記延伸部との接続部分から所定の範囲に位置するとき、前記第二突起部材は、前記第二溝カムの前記縁部から離れて位置してもよい。直動演出手段が格納位置から演出位置へ移動した後、回動演出手段が離間位置へ向けて接近位置から移動を開始する前に、ギアが回転しても直動演出手段と回動演出手段とが移動しない範囲を設けることができる。直動演出手段の移動終了から回動演出手段の移動開始までの間に間(ま)を設けることで、遊技者の注目を回動演出手段に集めることができる。 When the first protrusion member of the present embodiment is located within a predetermined range from the connection portion of the bent portion of the first groove cam with the extension portion, the second protrusion member is said to be the second groove cam. It may be located away from the edges. Even if the gear rotates after the linear motion effect means moves from the retracted position to the effect position and before the rotation effect means starts moving from the approaching position toward the separated position, the linear motion effect means and the rotation effect means It is possible to provide a range in which and does not move. By providing a gap between the end of the movement of the linear motion effect means and the start of the movement of the rotation effect means, the player's attention can be focused on the rotation effect means.

When the drive rod 153B moves along the groove cam 145 to the lower left end of the bent portion 145B, the link member 174 pulls the protruding portion 170B of the jaw 170 downward to the left. The chin portion 170 rotates to a position where the right end portion 170A moves downward from the lower right end of the face cover 121 (hereinafter, referred to as “separation position”).

次に、図4、図8〜図11を参照し、演出装置100の動作について説明する。図4に示すように、非演出時、演出基板のCPUは、顔型演出体120を顔格納位置に配置し、鼻部160を鼻格納位置に配置する。顔型演出体120が顔格納位置にある場合、顔センサ157は遮蔽部143Aを検出した状態である。このとき、顔ギア153の駆動棒153Bは、回転軸153Aの左方に位置する。鼻部160が鼻格納位置にある場合、鼻センサ124は遮蔽板164を検出した状態である。 Next, the operation of the effect device 100 will be described with reference to FIGS. 4 and 8 to 11. As shown in FIG. 4, the CPU of the effect board arranges the face-shaped effect body 120 at the face storage position and the nose portion 160 at the nose storage position during non-effect. When the face-shaped effect body 120 is in the face storage position, the face sensor 157 is in a state of detecting the shielding portion 143A. At this time, the drive rod 153B of the face gear 153 is located to the left of the rotation shaft 153A. When the nose portion 160 is in the nose retracted position, the nose sensor 124 is in a state of detecting the shielding plate 164.

非演出時に顔型演出体120が顔格納位置になければ、演出基板のCPUは、顔駆動モータ155の駆動軸155Aを正面視反時計回りに回転する。顔ギア153が反時計回りに回転し、駆動棒153Bが溝カム145の左側内面を左方へ押圧するので、顔型演出体120は左方へ移動する。顔センサ157が遮蔽部143Aを検出したとき、演出基板のCPUは、顔駆動モータ155の駆動を停止する。駆動棒153Bは回転軸153Aの左方に位置し、顔型演出体120は顔格納位置(顔型演出体120の原点位置)に位置する。 If the face-shaped effect body 120 is not in the face storage position during non-effect, the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 155A of the face drive motor 155 counterclockwise when viewed from the front. Since the face gear 153 rotates counterclockwise and the drive rod 153B presses the left inner surface of the groove cam 145 to the left, the face-shaped effect body 120 moves to the left. When the face sensor 157 detects the shielding portion 143A, the CPU of the effect board stops driving the face drive motor 155. The drive rod 153B is located to the left of the rotation shaft 153A, and the face-shaped effect body 120 is located at the face storage position (origin position of the face-type effect body 120).

また、非演出時に鼻部160が鼻格納位置になければ、演出基板のCPUは、鼻駆動モータ185の駆動軸185Aを正面視反時計回りに回転する。鼻ギア184が時計回りに回転し、鼻ラックギア186が延伸方向に沿って左上方へ移動するので、鼻部160は延伸方向に沿って左上方へ移動する。鼻センサ124が遮蔽板164を検出したとき、演出基板のCPUは、鼻駆動モータ185の駆動を停止する。鼻部160は、鼻格納位置(鼻部160の原点位置)に位置する。 Further, if the nose portion 160 is not in the nose retracted position during non-effect, the CPU of the production board rotates the drive shaft 185A of the nose drive motor 185 counterclockwise when viewed from the front. Since the nose gear 184 rotates clockwise and the nose rack gear 186 moves to the upper left along the stretching direction, the nose 160 moves to the upper left along the stretching direction. When the nasal sensor 124 detects the shielding plate 164, the CPU of the effect board stops driving the nasal drive motor 185. The nose portion 160 is located at the nose storage position (the origin position of the nose portion 160).

図8に示すように、演出時、演出基板のCPUは、顔駆動モータ155の駆動軸155Aを正面視時計回りに回転する。顔ギア153が時計回りに回転し、駆動棒153Bは、回転軸153Aの左方に位置する状態から時計回りに回転軸153Aの周囲を円弧状に180度分移動する。この間、駆動棒153Bは、溝カム145の延伸部145Aに位置する。 As shown in FIG. 8, during the effect, the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 155A of the face drive motor 155 clockwise in front view. The face gear 153 rotates clockwise, and the drive rod 153B moves clockwise by 180 degrees around the rotation shaft 153A from the state where it is located to the left of the rotation shaft 153A. During this time, the drive rod 153B is located at the extension portion 145A of the groove cam 145.

駆動棒153Bは、回転軸153Aの左方から上方を通り右方に移動する間、公転半径に相当する長さを上下方向に移動し、且つ公転半径の2倍に相当する長さを右方向に移動する。溝カム145の延伸部145Aが上下方向に延びるので、駆動棒153Bは、上下方向の移動においては、溝カム145内面に当接せずに移動することができる。駆動棒153Bは、右方向への移動において、溝カム145の右側内面を右方へ押圧する。駆動棒153Bは溝カム145を介して顔型演出体120に顔駆動モータ155の駆動力を伝達する。駆動棒153Bが回転軸153Aの右方に移動したとき、顔型演出体120は、顔格納位置から、駆動棒153Bの公転半径の2倍に相当する長さ分、右方へ移動し、顔演出位置に位置する。演出基板のCPUが、顔駆動モータ155の駆動軸155Aを回転するステップ数は、顔型演出体120が原点位置に位置するときの顔ギア153の向きを0度とし、顔ギア153が時計回りに180度回転する分に相当するステップ数である。 While the drive rod 153B moves from the left to the upper side of the rotation shaft 153A to the right, the drive rod 153B moves in the vertical direction in a length corresponding to the revolution radius and in the right direction in a length corresponding to twice the revolution radius. Move to. Since the extending portion 145A of the groove cam 145 extends in the vertical direction, the drive rod 153B can move without abutting on the inner surface of the groove cam 145 in the vertical movement. The drive rod 153B presses the right inner surface of the groove cam 145 to the right when moving to the right. The drive rod 153B transmits the driving force of the face drive motor 155 to the face-shaped effect body 120 via the groove cam 145. When the drive rod 153B moves to the right of the rotation shaft 153A, the face-shaped effector 120 moves from the face storage position to the right by a length corresponding to twice the revolution radius of the drive rod 153B, and moves to the right. Located in the production position. The number of steps in which the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 155A of the face drive motor 155 is such that the direction of the face gear 153 when the face type effect body 120 is located at the origin position is 0 degree, and the face gear 153 rotates clockwise. This is the number of steps corresponding to the rotation of 180 degrees.

顔型演出体120が顔格納位置から顔演出位置へ移動するとき、顎部170も公転半径の2倍に相当する長さ分、右方へ移動する。故に、駆動棒153Bと顎部170の突出部170Bとの間の左右方向における距離は変化しない。しかし駆動棒153Bは、公転半径分、上下方向にも移動するので、駆動棒153Bと突出部170Bとの間の距離は、僅かに変化する。リンク部材174のカム穴174Aは、駆動棒153Bと突出部170Bとの間の距離の変化に応じた長さを有する。故に突出部170Bは、顔型演出体120が移動する間、リンク部材174のカム穴174A内を移動し、顔駆動モータ155の駆動力を顎部170に伝達しない。 When the face-shaped effect body 120 moves from the face storage position to the face effect position, the chin 170 also moves to the right by a length corresponding to twice the revolution radius. Therefore, the distance between the drive rod 153B and the protruding portion 170B of the jaw portion 170 in the left-right direction does not change. However, since the drive rod 153B also moves in the vertical direction by the revolution radius, the distance between the drive rod 153B and the protrusion 170B changes slightly. The cam hole 174A of the link member 174 has a length corresponding to a change in the distance between the drive rod 153B and the protrusion 170B. Therefore, the protruding portion 170B moves in the cam hole 174A of the link member 174 while the face-shaped effect body 120 moves, and does not transmit the driving force of the face driving motor 155 to the jaw portion 170.

図9に示すように、顔型演出体120の鼻部分を伸ばす演出を行う場合、演出基板のCPUは、鼻駆動モータ185の駆動軸185Aを正面視時計回りに回転する。鼻ギア184が反時計回りに回転し、鼻ラックギア186が鼻案内穴142に案内されて延伸方向に沿って右下方へ移動するので、鼻部160は延伸方向に沿って右下方へ移動する。演出基板のCPUは、鼻駆動モータ185の駆動を制御し、駆動軸185Aを予め決められたステップ数回転することで、鼻部160を鼻格納位置から鼻演出位置に移動する。 As shown in FIG. 9, when performing an effect of extending the nose portion of the face-shaped effect body 120, the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 185A of the nose drive motor 185 clockwise in front view. Since the nose gear 184 rotates counterclockwise and the nose rack gear 186 is guided by the nose guide hole 142 and moves downward to the right along the stretching direction, the nose 160 moves downward to the right along the stretching direction. The CPU of the effect board controls the drive of the nose drive motor 185 and rotates the drive shaft 185A by a predetermined number of steps to move the nose portion 160 from the nose storage position to the nose effect position.

本実施形態の鼻部160は、延伸方向に移動することによって、左右方向に移動する場合と比べ、より長く延びる構成にすることができる。例えば、図中二点鎖線で示すように、鼻部260は、仮に、鼻格納位置と鼻演出位置との間を左右方向に移動する構成であるものとする。この場合、鼻部260の基端部262と本体部263は、左右方向に長さL1延びる。長さL1が、顔カバー121の鼻部260を設けた位置に対応する部分の左右方向の長さL0以下であれば、鼻部260が鼻格納位置にあるとき、基端部262と本体部263は顔カバー121の後ろに隠蔽される。これに対し、本実施形態の鼻部160の基端部162と本体部163は、延伸方向に長さL2延びる。延伸方向は左右方向に対して交差するため、基端部162と本体部163の左右方向の長さL3は、長さL2より短い。基端部162と本体部163の延伸方向の長さL2は、顔カバー121の鼻部160を設けた位置に対応する部分の左右方向の長さL0よりも長い。長さL2が長さL0より長くても、長さL3が長さL0以下であれば、鼻部160が鼻格納位置にあるとき、基端部162と本体部163を顔カバー121の後ろに隠蔽することができる。故に、鼻部160の左右方向の長さL3と、鼻部260の左右方向の長さL1が、仮に、同じ長さである場合、鼻部160の延伸方向の長さL2は、鼻部260の左右方向の長さL1よりも長くすることができる。 By moving the nose portion 160 in the extending direction, the nose portion 160 of the present embodiment can be configured to extend longer than in the case of moving in the left-right direction. For example, as shown by the alternate long and short dash line in the figure, the nose portion 260 is assumed to be configured to move in the left-right direction between the nose storage position and the nose effect position. In this case, the base end portion 262 and the main body portion 263 of the nose portion 260 extend by a length L1 in the left-right direction. If the length L1 is equal to or less than the left-right length L0 of the portion of the face cover 121 corresponding to the position where the nose portion 260 is provided, the base end portion 262 and the main body portion when the nose portion 260 is in the nose storage position. The 263 is hidden behind the face cover 121. On the other hand, the base end portion 162 and the main body portion 163 of the nose portion 160 of the present embodiment extend in length L2 in the stretching direction. Since the stretching directions intersect with each other in the left-right direction, the length L3 of the base end portion 162 and the main body portion 163 in the left-right direction is shorter than the length L2. The length L2 in the extending direction of the base end portion 162 and the main body portion 163 is longer than the length L0 in the left-right direction of the portion of the face cover 121 corresponding to the position where the nose portion 160 is provided. Even if the length L2 is longer than the length L0, if the length L3 is the length L0 or less, the base end portion 162 and the main body portion 163 are placed behind the face cover 121 when the nose portion 160 is in the nose storage position. Can be concealed. Therefore, if the length L3 in the left-right direction of the nose 160 and the length L1 in the left-right direction of the nose 260 are the same, the length L2 in the extension direction of the nose 160 is the nose 260. It can be made longer than the length L1 in the left-right direction of.

このように演出装置100は、鼻部160が鼻演出位置に移動したとき、鼻部160の延伸方向の長さL2が、顔カバー121の左右方向の長さL0から予想される長さよりも長いと遊技者に感じさせることができる。また、鼻部160の先端部161が左右方向に延びる構成であるので、演出装置100は、鼻部160の移動方向が左右方向であると誤認させることができる。故に演出装置100は、鼻部160の延伸方向の長さL2が、顔カバー121の左右方向の長さL0以下であると遊技者に錯覚させることができる。 In this way, in the effect device 100, when the nose portion 160 is moved to the nose effect position, the length L2 in the extending direction of the nose portion 160 is longer than the length expected from the length L0 in the left-right direction of the face cover 121. Can make the player feel. Further, since the tip portion 161 of the nose portion 160 extends in the left-right direction, the effect device 100 can misidentify that the moving direction of the nose portion 160 is the left-right direction. Therefore, the effect device 100 can make the player illusion that the length L2 of the nose portion 160 in the extending direction is equal to or less than the length L0 of the face cover 121 in the left-right direction.

図10、図11に示すように、顔型演出体120の口部分を開閉する演出を行う場合、演出基板のCPUは、顔型演出体120が顔演出位置にある状態で、顔駆動モータ155の駆動を制御する。この演出において、演出基板のCPUが、顔駆動モータ155の駆動軸155Aを回転するステップ数は、顔ギア153の向きが180度から270度の範囲で回転する分に相当するステップ数である。 As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, when performing an effect of opening and closing the mouth portion of the face-type effect body 120, the CPU of the effect board uses the face drive motor 155 with the face-type effect body 120 in the face effect position. Control the drive of. In this effect, the number of steps in which the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 155A of the face drive motor 155 is the number of steps corresponding to the rotation of the face gear 153 in the range of 180 degrees to 270 degrees.

口部分を開く演出を行う場合、演出基板のCPUは、顔駆動モータ155の駆動軸155Aを正面視時計回りに回転する。顔ギア153が180度から270度の範囲で時計回りに回転し、駆動棒153Bは、回転軸153Aの右方に位置する状態から時計回りに回転軸153Aの周囲を円弧状に移動する。即ち、駆動棒153Bは、下方且つ左方に移動する。この間、駆動棒153Bは、溝カム145の屈曲部145Bに位置する。屈曲部145Bは、顔ギア153が180度から270度の範囲で回転するときに駆動棒153Bが移動する軌跡に沿って、駆動棒153Bの公転半径に相当する曲率半径で屈曲する。故に駆動棒153Bは、溝カム145内面に当接せずに移動することができる。即ち駆動棒153Bと溝カム145は、顔型演出体120に顔駆動モータ155の駆動力を伝達しない。よって、口部分を開閉する演出が行われる間、顔型演出体120は顔演出位置から動かず静止する。 When performing the effect of opening the mouth portion, the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 155A of the face drive motor 155 clockwise in the front view. The face gear 153 rotates clockwise in the range of 180 degrees to 270 degrees, and the drive rod 153B moves clockwise around the rotating shaft 153A in an arc shape from the state where it is located to the right of the rotating shaft 153A. That is, the drive rod 153B moves downward and to the left. During this time, the drive rod 153B is located at the bent portion 145B of the groove cam 145. The bent portion 145B bends at a radius of curvature corresponding to the revolution radius of the drive rod 153B along the trajectory in which the drive rod 153B moves when the face gear 153 rotates in the range of 180 degrees to 270 degrees. Therefore, the drive rod 153B can move without abutting on the inner surface of the groove cam 145. That is, the drive rod 153B and the groove cam 145 do not transmit the driving force of the face drive motor 155 to the face type effector 120. Therefore, the face-shaped effect body 120 does not move from the face effect position and stands still while the effect of opening and closing the mouth portion is performed.

図10に示すように、駆動棒153Bと顎部170の突出部170Bとの間の長さが、貫通穴174Bとカム穴174Aとの間の最大長さ以下であるうちは、突出部170Bはカム穴174A内を移動する。即ち突出部170Bは、カム穴174Aの貫通穴174Bから遠い側の縁部から離れて位置する。突出部170Bとリンク部材174は、顔駆動モータ155の駆動力を顎部170に伝達しない。顎部170は接近位置に位置し、捻りばね173の付勢によってパッド170Cが顔カバー121に当接した状態が維持され、回動しない。 As shown in FIG. 10, as long as the length between the drive rod 153B and the protrusion 170B of the jaw 170 is equal to or less than the maximum length between the through hole 174B and the cam hole 174A, the protrusion 170B It moves in the cam hole 174A. That is, the protruding portion 170B is located away from the edge portion on the side far from the through hole 174B of the cam hole 174A. The protrusion 170B and the link member 174 do not transmit the driving force of the face drive motor 155 to the chin 170. The chin portion 170 is located at an approaching position, and the pad 170C is maintained in contact with the face cover 121 by the urging of the torsion spring 173 and does not rotate.

図11に示すように、駆動棒153Bと顎部170の突出部170Bとの間の長さが、貫通穴174Bとカム穴174Aとの間の最大長さより長くなると、突出部170Bはカム穴174Aの貫通穴174Bから遠い側の縁部に当接する。故に突出部170Bとリンク部材174は、顔駆動モータ155の駆動力を顎部170に伝達する。駆動棒153Bが下方且つ左方に移動するので、リンク部材174は、突出部170Bを左下方に引き寄せる。軸支え部171の右下方に位置する突出部170Bが左下方に移動することによって、顎部170は軸支え部171を中心に正面視時計回りに接近位置から離間位置へ向けて回動する。顔型演出体120は、口部分を開く。捻りばね173の付勢によって、突出部170Bがカム穴174Aの端部に当接した状態が維持されるので、顎部170は揺動しない。 As shown in FIG. 11, when the length between the drive rod 153B and the protruding portion 170B of the jaw portion 170 becomes longer than the maximum length between the through hole 174B and the cam hole 174A, the protruding portion 170B becomes the cam hole 174A. It abuts on the edge on the side far from the through hole 174B. Therefore, the protrusion 170B and the link member 174 transmit the driving force of the face drive motor 155 to the jaw 170. As the drive rod 153B moves downward and to the left, the link member 174 pulls the protrusion 170B downward to the left. As the protrusion 170B located at the lower right of the shaft support portion 171 moves to the lower left, the jaw portion 170 rotates about the shaft support portion 171 clockwise from the approaching position to the separating position. The face-shaped director 120 opens the mouth portion. The urging of the torsion spring 173 keeps the protruding portion 170B in contact with the end of the cam hole 174A, so that the jaw portion 170 does not swing.

口部分を閉じる演出を行う場合、演出基板のCPUは、顔駆動モータ155の駆動軸155Aを正面視反時計回りに回転する。顔ギア153が180度から270度の範囲で反時計回りに回転し、駆動棒153Bは、上方且つ右方に移動する。リンク部材174は、上方且つ右方へ移動する。顎部170は、捻りばね173の付勢によって、突出部170Bがカム穴174Aの端部に当接した状態を維持する。故に顎部170は、リンク部材174の移動に伴い、軸支え部171を中心に正面視反時計回りに離間位置から接近位置へ向けて回動する。顔型演出体120は、口部分を閉じる。このように、演出基板のCPUは、顔駆動モータ155の駆動を制御して、顔型演出体120の口部分を開閉する演出を行うことができる。 When performing the effect of closing the mouth portion, the CPU of the effect board rotates the drive shaft 155A of the face drive motor 155 counterclockwise when viewed from the front. The face gear 153 rotates counterclockwise in the range of 180 to 270 degrees, and the drive rod 153B moves upward and to the right. The link member 174 moves upward and to the right. The jaw portion 170 maintains a state in which the protruding portion 170B is in contact with the end portion of the cam hole 174A by the urging of the torsion spring 173. Therefore, as the link member 174 moves, the jaw portion 170 rotates around the shaft support portion 171 in a counterclockwise direction when viewed from the front from a separated position to an approached position. The face-shaped effect body 120 closes the mouth portion. In this way, the CPU of the effect board can control the drive of the face drive motor 155 to perform an effect of opening and closing the mouth portion of the face type effect body 120.

以上説明したように、駆動棒153Bと溝カム145は、顔型演出体120を格納位置と演出位置との間で移動する駆動力を伝達する第一伝達手段である。リンク部材174と顎部170の突出部170Bは、顎部170を接近位置と離間位置との間で移動する駆動力を伝達する第二伝達手段である。第一伝達手段と第二伝達手段は同時に伝達状態にならず、顔型演出体120が格納位置から演出位置に移動した状態で、顎部170が接近位置と離間位置との間で移動できるようになる。即ち、第二伝達手段が伝達状態になり顎部170が移動可能なとき、顔型演出体120は演出位置に位置し、且つ第一伝達手段は非伝達状態である。よって演出装置100は、顔型演出体120が静止した状態で顎部170を回動することができる。顎部170は顔型演出体120に支持されており、顔型演出体120が演出位置に位置するときに顎部170の回動による演出が行われるので、顎部170も表示部の前方に露出しており、顎部170の動作に遊技者の注目を集めることができる。また、顔型演出体120の移動と顎部170の回動を1つの顔駆動モータ155の駆動によって行うことができるので、部品点数を減らして低コスト化を図ることができる。 As described above, the drive rod 153B and the groove cam 145 are the first transmission means for transmitting the driving force for moving the face-shaped effect body 120 between the storage position and the effect position. The link member 174 and the protruding portion 170B of the jaw portion 170 are second transmission means for transmitting a driving force for moving the jaw portion 170 between the approaching position and the separating position. The first transmission means and the second transmission means are not in the transmission state at the same time, and the jaw portion 170 can move between the approaching position and the separating position while the face-shaped effect body 120 is moved from the storage position to the effect position. become. That is, when the second transmission means is in the transmission state and the jaw portion 170 is movable, the face-shaped effect body 120 is located at the effect position, and the first transmission means is in the non-transmission state. Therefore, the effect device 100 can rotate the chin portion 170 while the face-type effect body 120 is stationary. The chin portion 170 is supported by the face-shaped effect body 120, and when the face-shaped effect body 120 is positioned at the effect position, the chin portion 170 is rotated to produce the effect. Therefore, the chin portion 170 is also in front of the display unit. It is exposed and the movement of the jaw 170 can attract the player's attention. Further, since the face-shaped effect body 120 can be moved and the jaw portion 170 can be rotated by driving one face drive motor 155, the number of parts can be reduced and the cost can be reduced.

駆動棒153Bは回転軸153Aの周囲を円弧状に移動する。駆動棒153Bが延伸部145Aに位置するときに顔ギア153が回転すると、駆動棒153Bは移動の方向成分のうち上下方向の成分によって延伸部145A内で上下方向に移動する。そして、駆動棒153Bは移動の方向成分のうち左右方向の成分によって、延伸部145Aの内面を左右方向に押圧する。このため、顔型演出体120は左右方向に直線状に移動することができる。駆動棒153Bが屈曲部145Bに位置するときに顔ギア153が回転すると、駆動棒153Bは屈曲部145Bに沿って円弧状に移動するので屈曲部145Bの内面を押圧せず、顔型演出体120は静止することができる。 The drive rod 153B moves around the rotation shaft 153A in an arc shape. When the face gear 153 rotates while the drive rod 153B is located at the extension portion 145A, the drive rod 153B moves in the vertical direction in the extension portion 145A due to the vertical component of the movement direction components. Then, the drive rod 153B presses the inner surface of the stretched portion 145A in the left-right direction by the left-right component of the movement direction components. Therefore, the face-shaped effect body 120 can move linearly in the left-right direction. When the face gear 153 rotates when the drive rod 153B is located at the bent portion 145B, the drive rod 153B moves in an arc shape along the bent portion 145B, so that the inner surface of the bent portion 145B is not pressed and the face-shaped effect body 120 Can stand still.

突出部170Bは、顔型演出体120が移動するときは接近位置に位置し、顔ギア153に対して左右方向に移動する。突出部170Bはカム穴174A内で縁部から離れて移動できるので、駆動棒153Bと突出部170Bとの間の距離が、カム穴174Aと突出部170Bとが係合する位置によって調整される。よって、顔型演出体120が移動するとき、顎部170は静止することができる。顔ギア153が回転し、駆動棒153Bが第一溝カムの屈曲部145Bに沿って移動すると、駆動棒153Bと突出部170Bとの間の距離が離れる。突出部170Bはカム穴174Aの縁部に当接する。リンク部材174が駆動棒153Bと共に突出部170Bから離れる方向に移動するので、カム穴174Aの縁部は突出部170Bを押圧し、顎部170を回動することができる。 The protrusion 170B is located at an approaching position when the face-shaped effect body 120 moves, and moves in the left-right direction with respect to the face gear 153. Since the protrusion 170B can move away from the edge in the cam hole 174A, the distance between the drive rod 153B and the protrusion 170B is adjusted by the position where the cam hole 174A and the protrusion 170B engage. Therefore, when the face-shaped effect body 120 moves, the chin portion 170 can be stationary. When the face gear 153 rotates and the drive rod 153B moves along the bent portion 145B of the first groove cam, the distance between the drive rod 153B and the protrusion 170B is increased. The protrusion 170B abuts on the edge of the cam hole 174A. Since the link member 174 moves away from the protrusion 170B together with the drive rod 153B, the edge portion of the cam hole 174A can press the protrusion 170B and rotate the jaw portion 170.

顔型演出体120が移動するとき、突出部170Bはカム穴174A内で縁部から離れており、カム穴174Aに沿って移動可能な状態にある。捻りばね173は顎部170を付勢することで、顎部170を接近位置に保持することができる。よって、演出装置100は、顔型演出体120の移動に伴う振動等により、顎部170が回動することを防止することができる。 When the face-shaped effect body 120 moves, the protruding portion 170B is separated from the edge portion in the cam hole 174A and is in a state of being movable along the cam hole 174A. The torsion spring 173 can hold the jaw 170 in an approaching position by urging the jaw 170. Therefore, the effect device 100 can prevent the jaw portion 170 from rotating due to vibration or the like accompanying the movement of the face-type effect body 120.

顔型演出体120が格納位置から演出位置へ移動した後、顎部170が離間位置へ向けて接近位置から移動を開始する前に、顔ギア153が回転しても顔型演出体120と顎部170とが移動しない範囲を設けることができる。顔型演出体120の移動終了から顎部170の移動開始までの間に間(ま)を設けることで、遊技者の注目を顎部170に集めることができる。 Even if the face gear 153 rotates after the face-shaped effect body 120 moves from the retracted position to the effect position and before the jaw portion 170 starts moving from the approach position toward the separated position, the face-shaped effect body 120 and the chin A range can be provided in which the portion 170 does not move. By providing a gap between the end of the movement of the face-shaped effect body 120 and the start of the movement of the chin 170, the player's attention can be focused on the chin 170.

本発明は、以上詳述した実施の形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内において種々の変更が可能であることは言うまでもない。顔ギア153は、駆動棒153Bが、回転軸153Aの左方の位置から、上方、右方を通り、下方の位置に達するまでの270度の角度範囲を回動可能な範囲とした。これに限らず、顔ギア153は、任意の角度範囲を回動可能であってもよいし、360度の回動が可能であってもよい。 It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described in detail above, and various modifications can be made without departing from the gist of the present invention. The face gear 153 has a rotatable range of 270 degrees from the left position of the rotation shaft 153A to the drive rod 153 B passing upward and right and reaching the lower position. Not limited to this, the face gear 153 may be rotatable in an arbitrary angle range or may be rotatable 360 degrees.

溝カム145の延伸部145Aは上下方向に延びるが、上下方向に対して斜めに交差する方向に延びてもよい。顔型演出体120は左右方向に限らず、左右方向に対して斜めに交差する方向に移動してもよいし、あるいは上下方向に移動してもよい。捻りばね173の代わりに板ばね、引張ばね、ゴム等の弾性体などを用いて顎部170を正面視反時計回りに付勢してもよい。 The extension portion 145A of the groove cam 145 extends in the vertical direction, but may extend in a direction diagonally intersecting the vertical direction. The face-shaped effect body 120 is not limited to the left-right direction, and may move in a direction diagonally intersecting the left-right direction, or may move in the up-down direction. Instead of the torsion spring 173, a leaf spring, a tension spring, an elastic body such as rubber may be used to urge the jaw portion 170 counterclockwise when viewed from the front.
