Unauthorized acts on the connecting portion 61 and the mounting position of the connector connecting portion 61 are prevented.

(Operation of Example)
Next, the operation of the pachinko machine 10 according to the embodiment configured as described above will be described.

  In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51 connected to the main control board 200 is protected by the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91) so as to be seen through, so that the first Unauthorized acts on the relay connection board 51 can be effectively prevented. That is, since the entire first relay connection board 51 excluding the connector connection portion 61 can be covered with the covering member 80, unauthorized access to the first relay connection board 51 from the outside can be prevented. Further, the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91 and the back cover body 81) is formed of a transparent synthetic resin material so that the inside can be seen through from the outside, so that the covering member 80 is removed from the substrate installation portion 50. Only the mounting surface 51a and the terminal surface 51b of the first relay connection board 51 can be easily confirmed visually.

  Further, the engaging protrusion 100 formed at the lower part of the covering member 80 covering the first relay connection board 51 is inserted into the engaging port 54a of the engaging receiving part 54 provided in the board installing part 50 from above. By engaging the engagement claw 55b of the elastic engagement portion 55 provided in the board installation portion 50 with the engagement recess 101 formed on the upper portion of the covering member 80, the first relay together with the covering member 80 is performed. The connection board 51 can be detachably attached to the board installation part 50. In addition, the elastic engagement portion 55 is elastically deformed to the retracted position, and the engagement between the engagement claw 55b and the engagement recess 101 is released, and the upper portion of the covering member 80 is pulled back to engage. The engaging protrusion 100 is extracted from the engaging port 54 a of the receiving portion 54, and the first relay connection board 51 can be removed together with the covering member 80. At this time, since a fixing member such as a screw is not used, there is an advantage that the operation of the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51) can be easily performed.

  Here, the engaging recess 101 is formed on the upper surface wall 110 of the covering member 80 (front cover body 91) covering the upper edge of the first relay connection board 51, and the covering member 80 (front cover body 91) is formed. The engagement claw 55b of the elastic engagement portion 55 is configured to engage with the engagement surface 101a of the engagement recess 101 on the mounting surface 51a side of the first relay connection board 51 from the facing surface portion 94a that forms the rear end surface. Therefore, it is effective that the wiring routed around the first relay connection board 51 is sandwiched between the elastic engagement portion 55 (engagement claw 55b) and the engagement recess 101 (engagement surface 101a). Can be prevented. For this reason, it is possible to prevent disconnection and poor engagement due to the pinching of the wiring, and it is possible to prevent problems such as dropping of the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51). Moreover, the main control board 200 can be reduced in size by electrically connecting the various sensors SE3 to SE6, SN1 to SN3 and the solenoids SL1 to SL3 to the main control board 200 via the first relay connection board 51. There are advantages.

  Further, the engaging recess 101 continuously opens from the upper surface wall 110 of the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91) in which the engaging recess 101 is formed to the facing surface portion 94a facing the mounting surface 51a. Therefore, when the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51) is removed from the board installation part 50, the engaging recess 101 that opens on the facing surface part 94a side of the covering part 92 (front cover body 91) is formed. The finger can be easily put on the elastic support portion 55a of the elastic engagement portion 55, and the elastic engagement portion 55 can be easily operated to be displaced from the engagement position to the retracted position. That is, the engagement claw 55b of the elastic engagement portion 55 is formed on the engagement recess 101 on the mounting surface 51a side of the first relay connection board 51 from the facing surface portion 94a that forms the rear end surface of the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91). Even if it is configured to engage with the engagement surface 101a, the operability of the elastic engagement portion 55 is not impaired, and the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51) can be easily attached and detached.

  In addition, the engagement recess 101 is formed in the upper surface wall 110 covering the upper edge of the non-mounting region 67 of the first relay connection board 51 in the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91), and the first relay connection board 51. By mounting the connector connecting portion 61 along another outer peripheral edge (that is, the left and right end edges and the lower end edge) excluding the upper end edge covered with the upper surface wall 110 on the mounting surface 51a of the first mounting surface 51a, The elastic engagement portion 55 that engages with the connector connection portion 61 does not impair the workability of the wiring connection operation with respect to the connector connection portion 61. Further, by providing the upper surface wall 110 corresponding to the non-mounting region 67, the wiring connected to the connector connection portion 61 of the first relay connection board 51 can be connected to the engagement position of the elastic engagement portion 55 and the engagement recess 101. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the wiring connected to the connector connecting portion 61 to be caught by the elastic engaging portion 55, and to prevent the occurrence of disconnection or poor engagement.

  Further, by providing the upper surface wall 110 of the covering member 80 (front cover body 91) corresponding to the non-mounting region 67, the elastic support portion 55a of the elastic engagement portion 55 can be brought into contact with the upper surface wall 110. The stability of the covering member 80 can be increased. In addition, since the attachment position of the first relay connection board 51 is close to the elastic engagement part 55 in the board installation part 50, space saving of the board installation part 50 can be achieved. Furthermore, by making the upper surface wall 110 correspond to the non-mounting region 67, the formation position of the elastic engagement portion 55 can be brought close to the first wiring path 53 to the extent that it can be elastically deformed to the engagement position and the retracted position.

  Further, the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91) is connected to the connector opening 90L, the contact support portion 93 that covers the connector mounting region 65 located at the outer peripheral edge of the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51. 90R and 90U are opened, and the electronic component mounting area 66 is provided so as to be covered with the electronic component mounting area 66 receiving box portion 94 provided on the center side of the board with respect to the connector mounting area 65. The substrate 51 can be miniaturized as much as possible. Further, the first relay connection board 51 is provided with the connector mounting area 65 on the three sides (left and right side edges and the lower edge) of the mounting surface 51a excluding the upper edge where the non-mounting area 67 is formed. Thus, the arrangement positions of the connector connection portions 61 on the board can be dispersed to reduce the size, and the board installation portion 50 for installing the first relay connection board 51 can be saved in space. At this time, in accordance with the electrical components to be connected (main control board 200, games per special figure, various sensors and solenoids related to execution or determination of games per common figure, etc.) on the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51. By arranging the connector connecting portion 61, it is possible to detect fraud early while reducing the size of the substrate 51.

  Further, the non-mounting region 67 is covered with the storage box portion 94, and the facing surface portion 94a facing the mounting surface of the first relay connection board 51 from the upper surface wall 110 of the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91). By forming the engaging recess 101 so as to continuously open, the mounting surface 51a side from the facing surface portion 94a and a position spaced from the mounting surface 51a by the height dimension of the connector connecting portion 61 Thus, the engagement claw 55b of the elastic engagement portion 55 can be engaged with the engagement surface 101a of the engagement recess 101. In other words, the engagement recesses 101 are formed by using the facing surface portions 94a of the covering member 80 that are separated from the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51, thereby engaging the elastic engagement portions 55 and the engagement recesses 101. Since the position can be separated from the board installation part 50, the wiring routed around the first relay connection board 51 is prevented from being sandwiched between the elastic engagement part 55 and the engagement recess 101. Thus, it is possible to prevent problems such as disconnection of the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51) due to disconnection of wiring or poor engagement. Further, the projecting end portion (rear end portion) of the elastic engagement portion 55 is formed by opening the engagement concave portion 101 at the facing surface portion 94a of the storage box portion 94 that covers the electronic component mounting region 66. Since it can be positioned on the first relay connection board 51 side (board installation part 50 side) from the facing surface part 94a of the covering member 80, the manufacturing of the pachinko machine 10, maintenance, etc. Even when various wires are handled so as to slide along the rear end surface (opposing surface portion 94a), the wires are connected to the elastic engagement portion 55 (engagement claw 55b) and the engagement recess 101 (engagement surface 101a). ) Between the elastic engagement portion 55 (engagement claw 55b) and the engagement recess 101 (engagement surface 101a). Can be held stably.

  Further, the engaging protrusion 100 is formed on the lower surface wall 111 located on the opposite side of the first relay connection substrate 51 with respect to the upper surface wall 110 in which the engaging recess 101 is formed in the covering member 80. The mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection board 51 is located on the installation surface 50a side of the board installation part 50, and is provided at a position deviated left and right from the connector opening 90U. For this reason, when the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51) is attached to the board installation part 50, the engagement protrusion 100 is inserted into the engagement port 54a of the engagement receiving part 54 in a state where the wiring is sandwiched. Can be prevented. For this reason, the wiring is disconnected due to the pinching of the wiring accompanying the engagement between the engagement receiving portion 54 of the board installation portion 50 and the engagement protrusion 100 of the covering member 80, or the engagement receiving portion 54 is engaged with the engagement protrusion 54. Engagement with the portion 100 is unintentionally released, and problems such as dropping of the covering member 80 (first relay connection board 51) due to poor engagement can be prevented.

  Here, the mounting port 62 of each connector connection part 61 mounted on the first relay connection board 51 is disposed in a posture toward the outer peripheral edge side of the mounting surface 51a, so that the mounting port 62 is formed on the mounting surface 51a. Compared with the case where it is arranged in the rearward orientation, the front and rear spaces necessary for wiring connection to the first relay connection board 51 can be omitted, while the wiring connected to the connector connecting portion 61 is the first. The possibility of being sandwiched between means for fixing the relay connection board 51 is increased. Therefore, as described above, the engagement protrusion 100 is formed at a position that is located on the installation surface 50a side of the substrate installation portion 50 from the mounting surface 51a of the first relay connection substrate 51 and that is displaced to the left and right from the connector opening 90U. By doing so, it is possible to effectively prevent the wiring from being sandwiched between the engagement protrusion 100 and the engagement receiving portion 54, so that the space before and after the wiring connection to the first relay connection board 51 is omitted. It is possible to expand the mounting space for other game parts.

  Further, since the protective member 105 is formed on the opening edge of the connector opening 90L, 90R, 90U on the covering member 80 (front cover body 91), the mounting opening 62 is connected to the outer peripheral end of the mounting surface 51a. Since the wiring connected to the connector connecting portion 61 wired in the posture toward the edge side can be restricted from being directed to the engagement position with the engaging protrusion 100 and the engagement receiving portion 54, the wiring is disconnected. And the occurrence of poor engagement can be more effectively prevented. That is, routing of the wiring connected to the connector connecting portion 61 facing the outside of the covering member 80 (the front cover body 91) through the engaging position of the engaging protrusion 100 and the engaging receiving portion 54 and the connector opening 90U. The position can be partitioned by the protective wall 105, and the wiring can be prevented from being sandwiched between the engaging protrusion 100 and the engagement receiving portion 54. Further, by forming the protective wall 105 at the opening edge of the connector openings 90L, 90R, 90U, the wiring is hooked to the connector connecting part 61 facing the connector openings 90L, 90R, 90U, and other components. Can be prevented from touching.

  Further, since the cover member 80 is configured such that the back cover body 81 and the first relay connection board 51 are fitted into the rear opening of the front cover body 91, the longitudinal dimension of the cover member 80 is suppressed as much as possible. be able to. Further, by allowing the terminal portion 70 protruding from the terminal surface 51b of the first relay connection board 51 to be inserted into the escape hole 88 formed in the back cover body 81, the outer shape of the back cover body 81 can be reduced. It is possible to prevent the terminal portion 70 from coming into contact with the back cover body 81 when overlapping with the outer shape of the first relay connection board 51. Thereby, the covering member 80 can be miniaturized as much as possible. In addition, since the insertion recess 86 in which the escape hole 88 is opened is closed by the engagement plate 97 provided in the front cover body 91, fraud to the terminal portion 70 can be prevented.
