Description

  The present invention relates to a wiring structure of a flexible cable for preventing wiring failure such as half piercing and cable extra length when connecting a connector at the end of a flexible cable to a connector on a printed circuit board, and connection problems.

A gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine is equipped with a printed circuit board having a control circuit for controlling various control objects such as board parts.
When a flexible cable is used as a means to connect a printed circuit board fixed in place in a gaming machine to a controlled object such as a board component or other printed circuit board, etc., to the connector (fixed side connector) provided on the printed circuit board Then, a connector (movable connector) fixed to the tip of the flexible cable is connected.

  By the way, when the distance between the printed circuit board and the board component is long, the distance for wiring the flexible cable also becomes long, and therefore, extra length processing for preventing problems caused by loosening of the flexible cable is important. . There are various proposals for extra length processing of various cables (Patent Documents 1, 2, and 3). However, when priority is given to extra length processing, there is no room for handling flexible cables and the movable connector is fixed. There is a problem that connection failure such as half piercing between the connectors is likely to occur due to the failure to reach the side connector. That is, if a sufficient length is not secured when the movable connector is manually connected to the fixed connector, the extension distance of the movable connector is shortened and the movable range is narrowed. Connection between each other becomes inconvenient, and connection failure due to half-sticking tends to occur. On the other hand, after the connection between the connectors is completed while securing a sufficient cable extra length, it is necessary to perform a process for eliminating the bending of the cable. It is very cumbersome to handle the extra length of the cable while maintaining the connection.

FIGS. 11A and 11B are diagrams showing a configuration around a connection portion between a printed circuit board installed in a pachinko gaming machine and a flexible cable, and are provided on a printed circuit board 101 fixed to the gaming machine main body 100. FIG. It is a figure which shows the state which connected the movable side connector 111 at the front-end | tip of the flexible cable 110 extended from the board surface component which is not shown with respect to the fixed side connector 102, and its periphery.
A guide section G is provided in the flexible cable wiring path between the board component and the printed circuit board 101. In the guide section G, a plurality of guide protrusions 120 for locking the cable are alternately projected from two opposing wall surfaces at a predetermined pitch, and the flexible cable 110 is attached in a zigzag manner between the guide protrusions 120. The movable side connector 111 at the distal end of the flexible cable drawn from the guide section G is connected to the fixed side connector 102.

Openings 121 are respectively formed on the wall surfaces of the guide protrusions 120 facing each other. In addition, an opening for inserting the flexible cable is formed on the front side of the guide section. When the flexible cable is attached in a zigzag manner between the guide protrusions, an operation of inserting the flexible cable from the front opening is performed.
When the board part is a movable board part that moves on the game board surface, the flexible cable is easily deformed and moved by receiving a pulling force or pressing force from the movable board part side, and stress is applied to the connection part of both connectors. Easy to hang. In order not to damage the connector connection part due to this stress or to drop the movable connector, the flexible cable is zigzag locked to the guide projection 120 in the guide section G provided in front of the connector connection part. Propagation is blocked.

If the flexible cable 110 is attached to each guide projection 120 in a zigzag manner and then the movable connector is connected to the fixed connector, the connector may be formed if the length L of the flexible cable extending from the guide projection 120a closest to the printed circuit board is too short. Connection between them is impossible or half stab. On the other hand, when the length L is too long, the connector projection 120a and the fixed connector are bent after the connector is connected, and this bent portion interferes with peripheral components ((b)). For this reason, it is necessary to perform a rewiring operation in which the connection between the connectors is once released, and then the flexible cables are detached from all the guide protrusions and re-executed. Although it is possible to rewire the flexible cable without releasing the connection of the connector, the work becomes complicated.
More specifically, when the flexible cable 110 is attached in a zigzag manner to each guide protrusion 120, the length L of the flexible cable extending from the frontmost guide protrusion 120a to the printed circuit board side is an appropriate length. The flexible cable is inserted in a zigzag manner between the guide protrusions from the open part on the front side of the guide section, but the installation work from the open part is limited due to the small zigzag space for wiring the flexible cable. Is extremely difficult to complete at once. Therefore, normally, after the flexible cable is attached to the guide protrusion 120 at either one of the left and right ends, the adjacent guide protrusion is attached sequentially, and finally the attachment to the guide protrusion on the other end is completed, and then the flexible cable is attached. An operation of connecting the movable connector 111 at the end of the cable to the fixed connector 102 is performed.

By the way, the reason why the openings 121 are provided on the wall surfaces of the guide sections G facing the respective guide protrusions 120 is that when the flexible cables are attached to the individual guide protrusions 120 in a U-shape, the openings 121 are provided. This is because it is extremely convenient to use. That is, when a flexible cable is attached to a specific guide protrusion (right end guide protrusion) 120-1 in a U-shape, first, as shown by a broken line in FIG. The corresponding flexible cable portion is once inserted from the front opening portion while being deformed into a V shape so as to be largely pulled out of the guide section from the opening 121-1. Then, this V-shaped part which extended the flexible cable to the longitudinal direction and protruded from the opening part 121-1 is accommodated in a flexible cable conveyance path | route, and it is set as the state shown as the continuous line in Fig.11 (a). At this time, mounting on the other adjacent guide protrusion 120-2 is not performed.
Subsequently, in order to attach the flexible cable to the adjacent guide protrusion 120-2, the corresponding flexible cable portion is inserted into the flexible cable transport path from the front open portion, and at this time, the corresponding flexible cable is previously shown as indicated by a broken line. The cable part is bent and pulled out largely from the corresponding opening 121-2. Thereafter, in the same manner as described above, the flexible cable is elongated in the longitudinal direction, and this V-shaped portion protruding from the opening 121-2 is accommodated in the flexible cable transport path and is shown by a solid line in FIG. And
When attaching a specific part of a flexible cable to an individual guide projection while curving it in a U shape, the specific part of the flexible cable is once pulled out from the opening 121 formed to face, so that the mounting work is greatly increased. To improve.

Such a mounting operation is sequentially repeated for each guide protrusion, and when mounting on the last guide protrusion 120a (mounting into the guide section G) is completed, the guide section G is pulled out toward the fixed connector 102. The operation of connecting the movable connector 111 at the distal end of the flexible cable to the fixed connector is performed.
In order to repeat the work of bending or extending a part of the flexible cable in the process of mounting such a flexible cable, the length L of the flexible cable drawn from the guide section G is always optimal. It is difficult to continue to maintain the length (the state of FIG. 11A), and the length L of the flexible cable drawn out when the attachment to the last guide protrusion 120a is completed often does not become a constant length. In this case, it is necessary to remove the flexible cable from all the guide protrusions and repeat the same operation again. This operation is repeated until the length L of the flexible cable drawn out when the attachment to the last guide protrusion 120a is completed becomes the optimum length.
However, in reality, no proposal has been made to improve such inefficient wiring work.

The present invention has been made in view of the above, and alternately protrudes at a predetermined pitch into a cable wiring path when connecting a movable connector at the tip of a flexible cable extending from the outside to a fixed connector on a printed circuit board. When the guide protrusion is provided and the flexible cable is attached to each guide protrusion in a zigzag shape, the length of the flexible cable extending from the guide protrusion closest to the printed circuit board to the fixed connector is always appropriate. It is an object of the present invention to provide a flexible cable wiring structure that can effectively prevent connection failure between connectors or occurrence of cable bending between the nearest guide projection and a fixed connector.

In order to achieve the above object, a flexible cable wiring structure according to the invention of claim 1 includes a flexible cable provided with a movable-side connector attached to and detached from a fixed-side connector provided on a fixedly arranged printed circuit board.

The movable panel surface component 30 is a temporary surface that moves in the horizontal direction while being guided at the upper and lower portions by a base member 31 fixed to the game board 1, an upper guide portion 32 provided on the base member 31, and a lower guide portion 40, respectively. A pair of left and right open / close members 50, 60, rack gear members 51, 61 fixed horizontally to the lower portions of the open / close members 50, 60, and the rack gear members 51, 61 meshing with each other to rotate. A pinion gear 70 for moving the rack gear member in the horizontal direction and a motor 71 for driving the pinion gear are provided. In this example, the rack gear member 51 on the opening / closing member 50 side has a rack gear 51a at the lower part thereof, and the rack gear member 61 on the opening / closing member 60 side has a rack gear 61a on the upper part thereof.

The lower guide portion 40 includes guide rails 41 and 42 having a non-circular cross-sectional shape extending in the horizontal direction, and the rack gear members 51 and 61 are in contact with the outer surfaces of the guide rails 41 and 42, respectively. A guided recess having an inner surface shape that slides in the axial direction while preventing relative rotation is provided. The guide rails 41 and 42 are fixed to the base member 31 by screwing the respective base portions 41A and 42A.
A driving mechanism for opening and closing the opening and closing members 50 and 60 includes a pinion gear 70, a motor 71 that drives the pinion gear 70, an intermediate gear group 72 that transmits driving force from the motor to the pinion gear 70, and a motor (not shown). Control means.
Projecting pieces 52 and 62 project downward from the lower portions of the opening and closing members 50 and 60, respectively, and rack gear members 51 and 61 are fixed to the lower portions of the projecting pieces 52 and 62, respectively. The overhanging pieces 52, 62 and the rack gear members 51, 61 are not simply fastened by screws, but the rack gear members 51, 61 are placed in elongated holes 52a, 62a formed in the overhanging pieces 52, 62 extending in the horizontal direction. In this state, the protruding pieces 52 and 62 and the rack gear members 51 and 61 are fastened by a screw 75 in a state in which the horizontally long (thin plate-like) protruding pieces 54 and 64 projecting forward are fitted.

The movable panel surface component 30 is used for wiring the flexible cables 85 for electrically connecting the open / close members 50 and 60 to the printed circuit board 80 fixedly arranged at the center of the lower guide portion 40 (guide rail 42). The wiring structure 90 is provided. Control signals and power supply to the LEDs mounted on the open / close members 50 and 60 are performed by these flexible cables 85.
That is, the flexible cable wiring structure 90 includes the movable side connector 86 that is detachably attached to the two fixed side connectors 81 provided at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the printed circuit board 80 fixedly arranged at the center of the guide rail 42. A wiring path 91 for routing the two flexible cables 85 provided at the tip from the open / close members 50 and 60 to the fixed-side connectors 81, and the flexible cables that are arranged along the wiring path 91 are attached in a zigzag shape. And a guide section G to be held.

The guide section G includes two wall portions (an upper wall and a lower wall) arranged to face each other in order to form a zigzag wiring path for inserting a flexible cable. The zigzag wiring path faces a plurality of guide protrusions 92 (92A, 92B) for locking the cables alternately projecting along the longitudinal direction on the opposing surfaces of the wall portions, and the guide protrusions 92A, 92B. Flexible cable lead-out opening 93 formed on each wall, and flexible cable insertion opening formed over the entire length on the near side of the zigzag wiring path to communicate the zigzag wiring path with the outside 94.
When the flexible cable is attached in a zigzag manner between the guide protrusions, the flexible cable is attached by being inserted into the zigzag wiring path from the opening portion 94 on the front side.
Each movable connector 86 is connected to each fixed connector 81 in a state where each flexible cable 85 is mounted in a zigzag manner between each guide projection 92A and 92B.

The flexible cable wiring structure 90 of the present invention has a flexible cable portion 86a corresponding to a specific guide protrusion when the length L of the flexible cable mounted in the guide section G is pulled out toward the fixed connector is appropriate. Further, the configuration in which the alignment mark 87 that can be visually recognized is formed is characteristic.
In other words, the guide protrusion 92 is a flexible cable holding means arranged along the wiring path (guide section G) of the flexible cable 85, and the guide protrusion 92A protruding upward so as to sandwich the flexible cable from above and below, and upward. And a downwardly protruding guide protrusion 92B disposed between the protruding guide protrusions 92A. The flexible cable is wired in a zigzag pattern so as to alternately contact the tip portions of the upward guide projection 92A and the downward guide projection 92B, and then the tip portion is drawn toward the printed circuit board. The flexible cable held in a zigzag shape by the guide protrusions 92 is fixed with a sufficient holding force, and is not pulled out or displaced as long as a normal force is applied.

As described with reference to FIG. 11, each opening 93 provided to face each guide protrusion 92 </ b> A, 92 </ b> B is provided when each flexible cable is inserted into the narrow zigzag wiring path from the opening 94. This is a means for temporarily pulling out the flexible cable portion corresponding to the guide protrusion from the opening 93 to the outside of the zigzag wiring path. That is, it is difficult to push the flexible cable all at once over the entire length of the narrow zigzag wiring path, and it is necessary to sequentially perform the work of mounting the flexible cable portion corresponding to each guide protrusion. At that time, first, the specific portion of the flexible cable is inserted into the zigzag wiring path from the front opening portion 94 so that the specific portion of the flexible cable is drawn out to the outside from the opening 93 facing the specific guide protrusion 92. Next, by extending the flexible cable in the longitudinal direction, the portion pulled out from the opening is pulled back into the zigzag wiring path and accommodated. As described above, the drawing operation using the opening 93 and the pulling back operation are added every time the flexible cable is attached to each guide protrusion, so that each portion of the flexible cable is attached to each guide protrusion while the inside of the narrow zigzag wiring path. The work of fitting the flexible cable to the cable becomes easy.
However, when this wiring work is performed, it is difficult to make the length L of the distal end portion of the flexible cable drawn out from the guide section G constant.

The characteristic of the flexible cable wiring structure 90 according to the present invention corresponds to a specific guide protrusion when the length L of the flexible cable attached in the guide section G is pulled out toward the fixed connector 81 is appropriate. The positioning mark 87 that can be visually recognized is formed in the flexible cable portion.
As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, each flexible cable 85 connects each movable connector 86 at the tip to each fixed connector 81 and wraps around the guide projection 92 in a zigzag manner, thereby opening and closing members. The tension applied to the flexible cable by the opening and closing operations 50 and 60 is not applied to the connector connecting portion. That is, the other end side of the flexible cable connected to each of the opening / closing members 50, 60 repeats bending and extending due to the lateral movement of the opening / closing member, so that the outer guide protrusion 92b and each of the opening / closing members 50, 60 The length of the flexible cable is configured in advance so as to ensure a sufficient extra length in between.

  On the other hand, the length of the flexible cable portion wired between the innermost guide protrusion 92c and the fixed-side connector 81 needs to be processed so as not to bend. The wiring state of the flexible cable shown in FIGS. 8A and 9A is an ideal state. However, as described above, when the flexible cable 85 is wound around each guide protrusion 92 in a zigzag manner and the movable connector is connected to the fixed connector, the length of the flexible cable extending from the guide protrusion 92c closest to the printed circuit board is short. If it is too much, connection between the connectors is impossible or half-stabbed. On the other hand, if the length is too long, the flexible cable between the guide projection 92c and the fixed-side connector 81 is bent after the connector is connected, and this bent portion causes problems such as interference with peripheral parts. For this reason, it is necessary to perform a rewiring operation in which the connection between the connectors is once released, and then the flexible cables are detached from all the guide protrusions and re-executed. Although it is possible to rewire the flexible cable without releasing the connection of the connector, the work becomes complicated.

In the present invention, in order to cope with such a problem, the fixed side connector 81 can be moved while maintaining the optimum length L of the flexible cable 85 wired between the guide projection 92c and the fixed side connector 81. Since the alignment mark 87, which is visually visible, is formed on the flexible cable portion 86a corresponding to the specific guide protrusion 92a when properly connected to the side connector 86, effective wiring without re-wiring Work becomes possible.
That is, when the movable connector 86 is connected to the fixed connector 81 as shown in FIGS. 8, 9, and 10, first, the alignment mark 87 provided on the flexible cable 85 is a specific guide protrusion, in this example. The flexible cable is inserted into the zigzag wiring path from the front open portion while being positioned on the guide projection 92a so as to correspond to the tip of the guide projection 92a (FIG. 10A). At this time, the flexible cable is once pulled out in a V-shape from the opening 93 facing each other, and then the flexible cable is extended in the longitudinal direction (a) to accommodate the drawing portion from the opening 93 in the zigzag-shaped conveyance path. The alignment mark 87 is made to coincide with the top of the protrusion 92a.

After this, the flexible cable is repeatedly attached to other adjacent guide protrusions in the same manner, but the flexible cable is drawn out from the opening corresponding to the other guide protrusion, and the pulled-out flexible cable part is pulled back. Is performed with consideration (visual confirmation) so that the alignment mark 87 is not displaced from the top of the guide protrusion 92a. For this reason, the length L of the flexible cable 85 extending from the most distal guide protrusion 92c toward the printed circuit board can always be set to an optimum length during the operation, and an excessive amount is obtained when the movable connector is connected to the fixed connector. Extra length and excessive tension will not be applied to the flexible cable.
For this reason, it is not necessary to redo the wiring work, and the work efficiency can be greatly increased.
In the above embodiment, one alignment mark 87 is formed in the flexible cable portion corresponding to one specific guide protrusion, but the alignment mark is formed in the flexible cable portion corresponding to each of the plurality of guide protrusions. May be.

  As described above, according to the present invention, in a state where the flexible cable flexible cable is wound and held around the cable holding means composed of a plurality of guide protrusions intermittently arranged with a predetermined gap therebetween, In the wiring structure in which the leading end of the drawn flexible cable is connected to the fixed connector on the printed circuit board, when the specific guide protrusion is wired so that the mark on the flexible cable side matches, the gap between the guide protrusion and the fixed connector The length of the flexible cable was set to be optimal. For this reason, the flexible cable length between the guide protrusion and the fixed-side connector can always be set appropriately to prevent the connectors from being half-stabbed or from being excessively bent in the flexible cable. Assembling efficiency can be improved by preventing reworking.
