It is. Therefore, by inserting the frame harness 2e back and forth through the frame guide opening 25 and guiding it, the frame harness 2e extends in the front-rear direction and is inclined so as to be lowered forward along the inclined bottom portion 25a. Guided by

  The guide wall portion 25b is formed to extend upward so that the frame harness 2e can be guided, and an upper gap 25e is formed between the upper end portion 25c and the back set board 20. Further, a side gap 25f connected to the upper gap 25e is formed on the left side of the guide wall 25b. For this reason, when the frame harness 2e is once guided through the frame guide opening 25 and then only a part of the frame harness 2e (for example, the frame cable 2b) is taken out from the frame guide opening 25, the upper gap 25e and It can be easily taken out by utilizing the side gap 25f. On the contrary, when the frame harness 2e is guided to the frame guide opening 25, the frame harness 2e can be easily inserted into the frame guide opening 25 by using the upper gap 25e and the side gap 25f. Can be inserted. Further, as shown in FIG. 8A, since the upper end portion 25c is formed in a substantially semicircular shape, the cable is not caught by the upper end portion 25c and is not disconnected.

  As shown in FIG. 10, the frame harness 2e guided by the frame guide opening 25 is guided and fixed to the lower end portion of the front frame 2, and extends from the lower end portion toward each sensor or the like. Arranged.

  The door guide member 26 is a ring-shaped member having a rectangular outer shape and a door guide opening 26a formed in the center portion. The door guide member 26 is provided on the hinge mechanism 3 side of the frame guide opening 25. A substantially U-shaped receiving portion 20a is formed to match the outer shape of the door, and a door guide member 26 is inserted into the receiving portion 20a from the right side, and is inclined so as to be lowered forward. The state is maintained (see FIGS. 3 and 10).

  An engagement portion 26d is formed at the lower right side of the door guide member 26, and the engagement portion 26d allows the right side wall 26e and the bottom portion 26b of the door guide member 26 to be engaged and disengaged. Yes. The door guide member 26 is formed with flexibility using, for example, a resin material. By releasing the engagement between the right side wall 26e and the bottom portion 26b, the door guide member 26 has a right side centered on the swing center 26c. The wall 26e can be swung left and right. Therefore, when the door harness 5e guided by the door guide opening 26a is removed from the door guide opening 26a, or when the door harness 5e is inserted into the door guide opening 26a to be guided, the right side wall 26e. It is possible to perform simply by releasing the engagement between the bottom wall 26b and the right side wall 26e to the left and right.

The door harness 5e thus guided can smoothly move back and forth while being inclined forward. It is possible to move the door harness 5e back and forth integrally by winding, for example, a spiral tube around the door harness 5e.

  In addition, a cable connector 5f for connecting to the sub ball tray relay terminal plate 61 and the main ball tray relay terminal 87 is attached to the front end portion of the door harness 5e (see FIG. 10). Therefore, when removing the glass door 5 from the front frame 2, first, after opening the glass door 5 with respect to the front frame 2, the cable connector 5 f is connected from the sub ball tray relay terminal plate 61 and the main ball tray relay terminal 87. After that, the glass door 5 is removed from the front frame 2.

  As described above, in the pachinko machine PM, the separate and independent frame guide opening 25 and the door guide opening 26a are provided in the back set panel 20, and the frame guide opening 25 is disposed in the front frame 2. On the other hand, the frame harness 2e connected to the electrical component is classified and inserted into the door guide opening 26a, and the door harness 5e connected to the electrical component disposed on the glass door 5 is classified and inserted. It is supposed to let you. Therefore, when the glass door 5 and the back set panel 20 are swingably opened and closed with respect to the front frame 2, the frame harness 2e and the door harness 5e move back and forth along with the swing. Since the harness 2e for the door and the harness 5e for the door can be prevented from being entangled with each other, the swing of the glass door 5 and the back set panel 20 with respect to the front frame 2 is restricted by the disconnection of these harnesses or the entanglement of the harnesses. Can be prevented.

  Further, when the glass door 5 is opened from the closed state with respect to the front frame 2, the door harness 5 e is moved forward with the opening, and on the contrary, with respect to the front frame 2. When the glass door 5 is closed from the opened state, the door harness 5e pulled out forward is pushed backward. At this time, the door harness 5e is smoothly moved back and forth along the bottom part 26b and the bottom part 27a inclined forward, so that the front harness 5e is not caught by a part of the front frame 2 during the front-rear movement, for example. The glass door 5 can be smoothly opened and closed with respect to the frame 2, and the disconnection of the door harness 5e can be prevented.

  Further, in the pachinko machine PM, a door guide member 26 is attached to the hinge mechanism 3 side with respect to the frame guide opening 25 for guiding the frame harness 2e, and a door is connected to the door guide opening 26a of the door guide member 26. The harness 5e for use is guided. In this way, the door harness 5e is guided to the frame harness 2e at a portion close to the hinge mechanism 3 (the swing center of the hinge mechanism 3), so that only the glass door 5 is swung relative to the front frame 2. When opened / closed, when only the back set panel 20 is swingably opened / closed with respect to the front frame 2, or when both the glass door 5 and the back set panel 20 are swingably opened / closed with respect to the front frame 2 Even in this case, the frame harness 2e and the door harness 5e can be reliably prevented from being entangled with each other.

  Further, in this pachinko machine PM, as shown in FIG. 5, cable connectors are arranged on the rear surface side of the back set board 20 so that the frame harness 2e and the door harness 5e do not overlap as much as possible. That is, the cable connectors 33e, 34c, 47a from which the door harness 5e is pulled out are configured to be positioned above the cable connectors 34a, 33a, 33c, 33d from which the frame harness 2e is pulled out. With this configuration, the glass door 5 and the back set board 20 are swingably opened and closed with respect to the front frame 2, and the frame harness 2 e and the door harness 5 e move back and forth on the rear side of the back set board 20. However, it is suppressed that the frame harness 2e and the door harness 5e are entangled with each other, and the occurrence of disconnection or the like can be effectively prevented.

  As described above, the pachinko machine PM according to the present invention connects each control board of the back set board 20 to the electrical components arranged on the front frame 2 and the glass door 5 with a cable without using a relay board. Therefore, the manufacturing cost can be reduced by the amount of the relay board as compared with the conventional structure using the relay board. Further, in the configuration using the conventional relay board, the layout space of other components tends to be pressed by arranging the relay board. On the other hand, in the pachinko machine PM according to the present invention, the relay board is relayed. The arrangement space for other components is not squeezed by the substrate.

  In the above-described embodiment, the frame guide opening 25 is formed in the back set board 20 and the door guide member 26 in which the door guide opening 26a is formed is held by the back set board 20 as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this configuration. For example, a structure in which both the frame guide opening and the door guide opening are formed in the back set board 20 or a guide member in which the frame guide opening and the door guide opening are formed is attached to the back set board 20 and held. It may be configured.
