Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine substrate case for accommodating a control substrate of a gaming machine, and a gaming machine provided with the gaming machine substrate case.

Various control boards such as a main control board and a sub control board are housed in a housing (game machine housing) of a gaming machine such as a rotating drum type gaming machine or a pachinko gaming machine. When these control boards and the ROM attached to them are replaced with counterfeit products, for example, a general player (a player who does not know the specific operation) can perform a specific operation on the gaming machine. However, there is a risk of allowing a malicious player (a player who knows the specific operation) to play illegally, such as making it possible to modify the gaming machine so that the gaming progresses under favorable conditions. For this reason, each manufacturer of gaming machines accommodates various control boards including the main control board inside a board case (board case for gaming machines), and takes measures to prevent unauthorized access to the control board. ing. Even if the control board, etc. housed in the pachinko / pachislot machine board case is replaced with a counterfeit product, or if the pachinko / pachislot machine board case is pried open, the traces can be seen from the outside of the pachinko / pachislot machine board case. To make it visible, the gaming machine substrate case is usually made of a transparent material.

The structure of the board case for a gaming machine is not uniform, but there are a first case that covers one side of the control board of the gaming machine and a second case that is assembled to the first case and covers the other side of the control board. It is generally configured. In this way, in the board case for a gaming machine configured by assembling the first case and the second case, the predetermined positions in the first case and the second case are sealed and connected by using an engaging means or the like. ing. As a result, the first case and the second case are separated from each other as long as no trace is left on the sealed connecting portion or the peripheral portion of the gaming machine substrate case, such as destroying the sealed connecting portion. The case cannot be opened.

As a substrate case for a gaming machine formed by assembling a first case and a second case, a case in which the first case and the second case are adhered with an adhesive to further enhance the sealing force has also been proposed. For example, in FIG. 6 of Patent Document 1, an adhesive storage portion 55 for storing the adhesive 42 is formed in the base body 32 (first case), and an insertion adhesive portion is inserted into the adhesive storage portion 55. By forming 62 in the cover body 33 (second case) and assembling the base body 32 (first case) and the cover body 33 (second case) in a state where the adhesive 42 is stored in the adhesive storage portion 55. A control board in which the base body 32 (first case) and the cover body 33 (second case) are adhered to each other by immersing the insertion adhesive portion 62 in the adhesive 42 and curing the adhesive 42. A case 30 (a board case for a game machine) has been proposed. In the following, a gaming machine substrate case that seals a control substrate by adhering a first case and a second case with an adhesive may be referred to as an "adhesive-sealing type gaming machine substrate case". be.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2016-042874

However, as described above, in the adhesive sealing type substrate case for a game machine, when the adhesive portion between the first case and the second case is heated with a dryer or the like, the adhesive cured at the adhesive portion. Softens and becomes liquid, the adhesive state between the first case and the second case in the adhesive portion is released, and no noticeable trace remains in the adhesive portion and its peripheral portion in the first case and the second case. In this state, there was a risk that the first case and the second case could be separated. Therefore, even though the control board or the like has been illegally accessed, there is a risk that it will be overlooked.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and although it is an adhesive sealing type substrate case for a game machine, even if an attempt is made to heat the adhesive portion from the outside, the heat is cured at the adhesive portion. It is intended to provide a substrate case for a game machine having an enhanced effect of preventing unauthorized access by preventing the adhesive from being easily transmitted to the adhesive and preventing the adhesive state from being released at the adhesive portion. It is also an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine provided with the substrate case for the gaming machine.

The above issues are
It is composed of a first case that covers one side of the control board of the game machine and a second case that is assembled to the first case and covers the other side of the control board, and the first case is for holding the adhesive. The first case and the first case have an adhesive holding portion, the second case has a paired holding portion for adhering to the adhesive holding portion, and the adhesive is held in the adhesive holding portion. A gaming machine in which the bonded portion for the anti-holding portion comes into contact with the adhesive by assembling the two cases, and the first case and the second case are adhered to each other by curing the adhesive. A substrate case for partitioning a sealing chamber for adhesion in which the first case and the second case are assembled to form a sealed state from the outside and the adhesive holding portion and the bonded portion for the pair holding portion can be accommodated. The closed chamber compartment wall portion is provided in each of the first case and the second case, and the outer wall surface of the closed chamber compartment wall portion is exposed to the outside after the first case and the second case are assembled. A low thermal conductivity layer having a lower thermal conductivity than the forming materials of the first case and the second case is provided between the inner wall surface of the externally exposed closed chamber partition wall portion and the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion. , The first case has a first arm portion that protrudes inside the sealing chamber for adhesion when the first case and the second case are assembled, and the second case is the first case and the second case. It has a second arm part that protrudes inside the sealing chamber for adhesion when assembled with the case, and an adhesive holding part is provided at the tip of the first arm part to be adhered to the holding part. This is solved by providing a substrate case for a game machine, characterized in that the portion is provided at the tip end portion of the second arm portion.

When the first case and the second case are assembled as in such a configuration, the adhesive holding portion and the bonded portion for the anti-holding portion fit inside the adhesive sealing chamber, and the inside of the externally exposed closed chamber partition wall portion. Assuming that the exposed portion of the substrate case for a game machine is heated by a dryer or the like by providing a low thermal conductive layer between the wall surface and the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion where the adhesive is held. However, since a low thermal conductive layer exists between the heated portion and the adhesive holding portion, it is difficult for the heat to be transferred to the adhesive held by the adhesive holding portion and cured. Will be possible. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the adhesive from softening and to make it difficult to release the adhesive state between the first case and the second case. In other words, as long as no trace is left on the adhesive portion or its peripheral portion, such as by destroying the adhesive portion between the first case and the second case (adhesive holding portion and the bonded portion for the pair holding portion) and its peripheral portion. Makes it possible to prevent the bonded state of the bonded portion from being released. Therefore, it is possible to enhance the effect of preventing unauthorized access to the board case for the gaming machine.

In the substrate case for a gaming machine of the present invention, it is also preferable to use the low heat conductive layer as an air layer.

This is because the low thermal conductive layer is a layer filled with a fibrous residual heat material such as glass wool or rock wool or a heat insulating material such as a foam heat insulating material such as urethane foam, polystyrene foam or foam rubber (heat insulating material filling layer). ). However, in this case, the cost increases due to the use of the heat insulating material, and it is troublesome to fill the space between the inner wall surface of the closed chamber partition wall portion and the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion (gap). For that reason, the thermal conductivity of these general heat insulating materials is higher than that of air. In addition, the heat insulating material makes it difficult to see the adhesive portion, and there is a possibility that it becomes difficult to find the trace generated in the adhesive portion at the time of unauthorized access. Further, the low heat conductive layer may be a low pressure gas layer made of a gas in a low pressure state (including a vacuum state). However, in this case, it takes time and cost to reduce the pressure between the inner wall surface of the closed chamber partition wall portion and the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion, and it is not easy to maintain the low pressure state for a long period of time. No. In addition, the cost is high when a gas other than air is used. In this regard, if the low thermal conductive layer is an air layer (particularly an air layer at normal pressure) as in such a configuration, the thermal conductivity of the low thermal conductive layer can be kept low without requiring any particular cost or labor. Because it is possible.

In the substrate case for a gaming machine of the present invention,
The first case shall have a first arm portion that protrudes inside the sealing chamber for adhesion when the first case and the second case are assembled.
The second case shall have a second arm portion that protrudes inside the adhesive sealing chamber when the first case and the second case are assembled.
An adhesive holding portion is provided at the tip of the first arm portion,
It is also preferable to provide the bonded portion for the anti-holding portion at the tip end portion of the second arm portion.

By adopting such a configuration, a first arm portion is provided between the closed chamber partition wall portion and the adhesive portion (adhesive holding portion and bonded portion for the anti-holding portion) in a portion other than the low thermal conductive layer. Since the portion and the portion provided with the second arm portion are connected to each other, it is difficult for heat to be transferred from the closed chamber partition wall portion to the adhesive portion even in the portion other than the low thermal conductive layer. It becomes possible to make the bonded portion less likely to be heated.

In the case of the substrate case for a gaming machine of the present invention, when the adhesive holding portion is provided at the tip of the first arm portion and the bonded portion for the pair holding portion is provided at the tip of the second arm portion as described above. , It is preferable that at least one of the first arm portion and the second arm portion has a shape that is bent in a non-linear manner.

By adopting such a configuration, the heat transfer path from the closed chamber partition wall portion to the adhesive portion (adhesive holding portion and adhesive portion for holding portion) is lengthened, and the heat transfer path is extended through the first arm portion and the second arm portion. It is possible to make it difficult for heat to be transferred to the bonded part.

In the case of the substrate case for a gaming machine of the present invention, when the adhesive holding portion is provided at the tip of the first arm portion and the bonded portion for the pair holding portion is provided at the tip of the second arm portion as described above. It is also preferable that at least one of the first arm portion and the second arm portion has a cross-sectional area reduction portion having a cross-sectional area smaller than that of the other portion in the arm portion.

By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to make it difficult for heat to be transferred from the closed chamber partition wall portion to the adhesive portion (adhesive holding portion and adhesive portion for holding portion) through the first arm portion and the second arm portion. It will be possible. Examples of the cross-sectional area reduction portion include an opening, a recess, a notch, a cavity, and the like. If an opening, a recess, a notch, a cavity, or the like is provided in the first arm portion or the second arm portion, the cross-sectional area of the first arm portion or the second arm portion is reduced in that portion, and heat is less likely to be transmitted. be able to.

A button 19, a start lever 20 for starting the rotation of the reels 13, 14, and 15, and three stop buttons 21, 22, 23 for stopping the rotation of the reels 13, 14, and 15, respectively. It has a chance button 24 for switching, a refund button 25 for refunding the credited medal, and the like.

When the start lever 20 is operated in a state where the number of medals credited is equal to or greater than the predetermined number of medals, the reels 13, 14 and 15 start rotating at the same time as the winning combination lottery is executed. When the stop buttons 21, 22 and 23 are operated, the rotation of the reels 13, 14 and 15 corresponding to the operated stop buttons 21 and 22 and 23 is stopped, and all the reels 13, 14 and 15 are stopped. when the combination of symbols displayed when stopped on the pay line of the reel window 10b ₁ had become those corresponding to the winning combination is won by winning lottery (when winning), medals number corresponding to the winning combination Is paid out, and when the number of medals credited reaches the upper limit, the medals sent out from the hopper unit 36 (see FIG. 2) are paid out through the medal payout outlet 12. The number of medals credits is increased when the medals are inserted into the medal insertion slot 11 or the medals are paid out by winning a prize when the number of medals credits has not reached the upper limit.

FIG. 2 is a view of the revolving pachinko / pachislot machine 10 with the front door 10b opened as viewed diagonally forward from the upper right. As shown in FIG. 2, the revolving pachinko / pachislot machine 10 includes a box-shaped housing body 10a with an open front and a front door 10b attached to the front side of the housing body 10a so as to be openable / closable. Various devices are housed inside the pachinko / pachislot machine housing. In the following, the housing body 10a and the front door 10b may be collectively referred to as "housing 10a, 10b". In the present embodiment, the main control board unit 30, the sub control board unit 31, the liquid crystal unit 32, the power supply unit 33, the connector unit 34, the reel unit 35, the hopper unit 36, and the like are housed inside the gaming machine housing. ..

The main control board unit 30 includes a control board (main control board) that performs basic control in games such as winning combination lottery and winning determination. The sub-control board unit 31 includes a control board (sub-control board) that controls the effects in the game, such as the effect by the light emitting lamp and the sound. The liquid crystal unit 32 includes a control board (video board) that controls the effect of the image displayed on the liquid crystal display 16 (see FIG. 1). The power supply unit 33 includes a control board (power supply board) that supplies electric power to each device in the rotating drum type gaming machine 10. The connector unit 34 includes a control board (mediation board) that mediates a cable connected to a specific device. The reel unit 35 includes a control board (reel control board) that independently controls the rotations of the reels 13, 14, and 15. The hopper unit 36 collects medals inserted into the medal insertion slot 11 (see FIG. 1) and sends medals to the medal payout outlet 12 (see FIG. 1) based on a signal from the main control board unit 30. It is equipped with a control board (hopper control board) that controls the operation.

Any of the various control boards provided in these units can be subject to unauthorized access. For example, the control board (main control board) provided in the main control board unit 30 is equipped with a storage device (ROM) in which a program for performing basic control in the spinning machine 10 is recorded. However, there is a person who attempts to illegally modify the spinning machine 10 by exchanging this storage device with a forged one so that a big hit is always made when a specific operation is performed during the game. Therefore, in a gaming machine such as a rotating drum type gaming machine 10, a control substrate of this type is housed inside a transparent substrate case (usually made of resin) and sealed. Also in this embodiment, a structure is adopted in which these control boards are housed inside a transparent board case to seal the control boards.

The present invention relates to a substrate case for a gaming machine (a substrate case for a gaming machine; hereinafter, may be abbreviated as "board case"), and is a substrate case (main) for accommodating a main control board. It is preferable to use it as a substrate case (which constitutes the control substrate unit 30). This is because the substrate case of the present invention relates to a technique for sealing the substrate case with an adhesive, and the substrate case accommodating the main control substrate is most likely to be subject to unauthorized access. This is because it is of great significance to adopt such a configuration. In this respect, the main control board is the most vulnerable to unauthorized access among gaming machines.

Also in the present embodiment, the configuration according to the present invention is adopted in the substrate case (specifically, the substrate case 100 shown in FIG. 3 below) for accommodating the main control substrate. In the following, a substrate case for accommodating the main control substrate will be described as an example. However, this does not mean that the configuration according to the substrate case of the present invention can be adopted only in the substrate case accommodating the main control substrate. The configuration related to the board case can also be adopted in a board case or the like that constitutes units 31 to 37 other than the main control board unit 30.

2. Mounting Structure of Board Case (Board Case for Pachinko Machines) Before explaining the specific configuration of the board case 100, first, the mounting structure of the board case 100 will be described.

2.1 Outline of the mounting structure of the board case (board case for gaming machines) FIG. 3 is a view of the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200 when the case rotating member 110 is in the holding position, as viewed from diagonally forward upper right. Is. FIG. 4 is a view of the substrate case 100 and the case mounting member 200 when the case rotating member 110 is in the unfolded position, as viewed diagonally from the upper right in front. As shown in FIG. 3, the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment is attached to the front surface of the case mounting member 200, and is placed at a predetermined position in the housings 10a and 10b (FIG. 2) of the gaming machine via the case mounting member 200. It is designed to be fixed. As described above, the board case 100 of the present embodiment accommodates the main control board, and the case mounting member 200 has a rear surface of the back plate 10a ₁ of the housing body 10a of the gaming machine (FIG. 2). It is designed to be attached to the front side of.

As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment is attached to the case rotating member 110 that is rotatable with respect to the case mounting member 200 and the case mounting member 200 in a stationary state. It is composed of a case one-side fixing member 120 and a case other-side fixing member 130. In the following, the case one-side fixing member 120 and the case other-side fixing member 130 may be collectively referred to as “case fixing members 120, 130”. FIG. 5 is a view of the case one-side fixing member 120 in the substrate case 100 as viewed from (a) diagonally forward upper right and (b) diagonally backward upper left. FIG. 6 is a view of the case other side fixing member 130 in the substrate case 100 as viewed from (a) diagonally forward upper right and (b) diagonally backward upper left.

In this board case 100, as shown in FIG. 3, the back surface of the case rotating member 110 is a holding position along the front surface of the case mounting member 200, and as shown in FIG. 4, the back surface of the case rotating member 110 is the case mounting. The case rotating member 110 can be rotated with respect to the case fixing members 120 and 130 so as to be separated from the front surface of the member 200 and to a deployment position where the case rotating member 110 can be visually recognized from the back side. It has become. Therefore, the person (inspector) who inspects the presence or absence of traces of unauthorized access to the substrate case 100 can confirm the case rotating member 110 at the holding position from the front side thereof and deploys the case rotating member 110. By setting the position, the board case 100 can be confirmed from the back side of the case rotating member 110 without removing it from the case mounting member 200. Therefore, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts caused by the substrate case 100 being removed from the housings 10a and 10b of the gaming machine. Therefore, it is possible to prevent unauthorized access to the board case 100.

Further, the substrate case 100 is composed of the case rotating member 110 that rotates with respect to the case mounting member 200 and the case fixing members 120 and 130 that do not move with respect to the case mounting member 200, whereby the housings 10a and 10b are formed. It becomes possible to effectively utilize the internal space of. This is because if the entire board case 100 is rotated, the entire board case 100 can be rotated in front of the case mounting member 200 inside the gaming machine housings 10a and 10b. In addition, it is necessary to secure a wide rotation space for the substrate case 100. In this respect, in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, only the case rotating member 110 accommodating the control substrate 300 (FIG. 5) rotates, and the case fixing members 120 and 130 do not rotate. In particular, in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as will be described later, the case other side fixing member 130 has a B connecting portion engaging portion 401 (FIG. 6) that functions as a B connecting portion and a C connecting portion. Since the functional C connecting portion engaging portion 402 (FIG. 6) is provided, the size of the case other side fixing member 130 needs to be increased to some extent. In this respect, the rotation space can be narrowed by not rotating the portion of the substrate case 100 provided with the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion.

The extent to which the deployment angle (rotation angle required from the holding position to the deployment position) of the case rotating member 110 is set is not particularly limited, but if it is made too small, the case rotating member 110 will rotate to the deployment position. Even if it is made, it may be difficult to check the back side of the case rotating member 110. Therefore, the deployment angle of the case rotating member 110 is preferably 60 ° or more. The deployment angle of the case rotating member 110 is more preferably 70 ° or more, and further preferably 80 ° or more. On the other hand, if the deployment angle of the case rotating member 110 is made too large, the rotation range of the case rotating member 110 becomes large, and it becomes difficult to arrange other members or the like around the case rotating member 110. Therefore, the deployment angle of the case rotating member 110 is preferably 120 ° or less. The deployment angle of the case rotating member 110 is more preferably 110 ° or less, and further preferably 100 ° or less. In this embodiment, the deployment angle of the case rotating member 110 is set to 90 °.

The case rotating member 110 in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment has a structure of rotating around a horizontal axis in the vicinity of the lower edge thereof (lower edge center rotating structure), but the case rotating member 110 The mode of rotation of the above is not limited to this. For example, the case rotating member 110 may adopt a structure that rotates around a horizontal axis near the upper edge (upper edge center rotating structure), or a vertical axis near the left edge thereof. A structure that rotates around the center (left edge center rotation structure) can be adopted, or a structure that rotates around the vertical axis near the right edge (right edge center rotation structure) is adopted. You can also do it. However, considering the rotation space of the case rotation member 110, the ease of inspection of the case rotation member 110, the stability of the case rotation member 110 in the deployed position, and the like, as in the present embodiment, the lower part It is preferable to adopt a postcentral gyrus structure.

2.2 Definition of terms By the way, in the following, the terms "A connection part", "B connection part", "C connection part", "D connection part", "E connection part" and "F connection part" are used. To appear. The terms "A connecting part", "B connecting part", "C connecting part", "D connecting part", "E connecting part" and "F connecting part" mean as follows. ..

The “A connecting portion” means that after the gaming machine is shipped from the manufacturing factory, the inspection organization of the gaming machine opens the substrate case 100 (in this embodiment, the case rotating member 110 of the substrate case 100) and controls the control substrate 300. The constituent members of the board case 100 are connected (the board case of the present embodiment) so that the board case 100 is not illegally opened and the control board 300 inside the board case 100 is not illegally modified or the like until the inspection. In 100, in order to connect the first case 111 and the second case 112 of the case rotating member 110 in the substrate case 100), a portion of the portion connecting the constituent members of the substrate case 100 in a manufacturing factory of a gaming machine or the like. Say that. When the substrate case 100 is illegally opened (in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, the first case 111 (FIG. 8) and the second case 112 (FIG. 8) of the case rotating member 110 in the substrate case 100 are (When illegally separated), traces of unauthorized opening will remain in or around this A connection portion. That is, a person who inspects the substrate case 100 can confirm whether or not the substrate case 100 has been illegally opened by confirming the state (presence or absence of destruction marks or the like) of the A connecting portion and its surroundings. The A connecting portion is indicated by the reference numeral “A” in the drawings (see, for example, FIGS. 9 and 10).

Further, the "B connecting portion" is used so that the board case 100 is not illegally removed from the case mounting member 200 after the gaming machine is shipped from the factory (the board case 100 is usually attached to the case mounting member 200). This is a part that connects the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200. When the board case 100 is illegally removed from the case mounting member 200, a trace of illegal removal remains in or around the B connecting portion. That is, a person who inspects the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200 illegally removes the board case 100 from the case mounting member 200 by checking the state of the B connecting portion and its surroundings (presence or absence of destruction marks, etc.). It can be confirmed whether or not it is. The B connection is indicated by the reference numeral "B" in the drawings (see, for example, FIGS. 6 and 21).

Furthermore, the "D connecting portion" is a portion provided as a spare of the "C connecting portion". That is, the inspection by the above-mentioned inspection institution or the like is not limited to one time, and may be performed more than once. It will be destroyed properly. The board case 100 after the second inspection by the inspection organization or the like is completed will be attached to the case mounting member 200 again, but the B connecting portion and the C connecting portion have already been destroyed. Therefore, it cannot be used. Therefore, when the board case 100 is attached to the case mounting member 200 after the second inspection is completed, the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200 are connected by this "D connecting portion". A person who inspects the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200 checks the state of the D connecting portion and its surroundings (presence or absence of destruction marks, etc.), and the board case 100 is second from the case mounting member 200 by an inspection organization or the like. It is possible to confirm whether or not the board case 100 has been illegally removed from the case mounting member 200 between the time when the board case 100 was properly removed. An "E connection portion" may be provided as a spare for the "D connection portion". The substrate case 100 and the case mounting member 200 of the present embodiment are not provided with the D connecting portion and the E connecting portion, but the substrate case 100 and the case mounting member 200 are provided with the D connecting portion and the E connecting portion.

The constituent members of the substrate case 100 are connected so that the case 100 is not illegally opened and the control substrate 300 inside the substrate case 100 is not illegally modified (in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, the substrate case 100 is used. It refers to a portion of the case rotating member 110 that connects the first case 111 (FIG. 8) and the second case 112 (FIG. 8). That is, in the gaming machine, when a defect or a suspicious point is found in the control board 300 housed in the board case 100, the control board 300 is returned to the manufacturer or the like while being housed in the board case 100. Will be done. However, if the board case 100 is illegally opened in the process of returning the control board 300, it is determined whether the control board 300 has a defect or the like before the return or the process of the return. Can not be done. In this regard, the manufacturer or the like that has received the return of the control board 300 illegally corrects the board case 100 in the process of returning the control board 300 by checking the state of the F connection portion and its surroundings (presence or absence of breakage and mixing). You can check whether it has been opened or not. The F connection is indicated by the reference numeral "F" in the drawings (see, for example, FIGS. 28 and 29).

In the gaming machine industry, the above-mentioned "A connecting part", "B connecting part", "C connecting part", "D connecting part", "E connecting part" and "F connecting part" are usually " They are called "A caulking part", "B caulking part", "C caulking part", "D caulking part", "E caulking part" and "F caulking part". However, when the expression "caulking part" is used, there is a risk of misunderstanding that the connecting part is only due to caulking (plastic working and joining a part of a plurality of parts). , In this specification, the expression "connecting part" is used.

2.3 Assembly of a board case (board case for a gaming machine) FIG. 7 is a view of the case rotating member 110 viewed diagonally forward from the upper right.

3.1 Case rotating member The form of the case rotating member 110 is not particularly limited as long as the control board 300 (FIG. 8) can be accommodated therein. As described above, the case rotating member 110 of the present embodiment is composed of a first case 111 that covers the rear surface side of the control board 300 and a second case 112 that covers the front surface side of the control board 300.

3.1.1 First Case The first case 111 is not particularly limited in its form, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the rear wall portion 111a having a rectangular shape in front view and the rear wall portion 111 It is composed of a pair of left and right guide wall portions 111b, 111c, etc., which are provided so as to project forward from the vicinity of the left edge portion and the right edge portion of 111a, respectively. As described above, the structure is such that the second case 112 is slid and assembled to the first case 111, and the guide wall portions 111b and 111c slide the second case 112 with respect to the first case 111. It is a part that functions as a guide when making it. Further, the space located between the guide wall portions 111b and 111c is used as a substrate accommodating portion for accommodating the control substrate 300.

As shown in FIG. 9, the first case 111 is provided with an adhesive holding portion 161. As described above, the adhesive holding portion 161 is a portion that functions as an A connecting portion, and when the second case 112 is assembled to the first case 111, the adhesive holding portion 161 is adhered to the adhesive holding portion 161. The agent is held, and the adhesive portion 162 (FIG. 10) for the anti-holding portion provided in the second case 112 is adhered to the adhesive holding portion 161 by the adhesive. The adhesive holding portion 161 is provided at a position where the second case 112 is sealed from the outside when the second case 112 is assembled to the first case 111. Also in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, an adhesive holding portion is provided in the adhesive sealing chamber 110a which is sealed from the outside when the second case 112 is assembled to the first case 111. 161 is provided. By providing the adhesive holding portion 161 in the adhesive sealing chamber 110a sealed from the outside in this way, it is difficult to illegally release the A connecting portion by the adhesive holding portion 161 and the adhesive portion 162 for the pair holding portion. can do.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the first case 111 is also provided with an engaging portion 403 for the F connecting portion. The engaging portion 403 for the F connecting portion is a portion that functions as a connecting portion in the F connecting portion. The form and the like of the F connecting portion engaging portion 403 are the same as those of the B connecting portion engaging portion 401 and the C connecting portion engaging portion 402, which will be described later, and thus the description thereof will be omitted. The connection structure between the first case 111 and the second case 112 in the F connection portion will also be described in detail later.

In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the adhesive sealing chamber 110a includes the rear sealing chamber partition wall portion 110a ₁ for partitioning the rear surface of the adhesive sealing chamber 110a and the adhesive sealing chamber 110a. Front side sealing chamber partition wall portion 110a ₂ for partitioning the front surface of the above, upper sealing chamber partition wall portion 110a ₃ for partitioning the upper surface of the adhesive sealing chamber 110a, and lower side for partitioning the lower surface of the adhesive sealing chamber 110a. The closed chamber partition wall 110a ₄ on the left side that partitions the left side of the closed chamber 110a _{for adhesion, and the sealed chamber partition wall 110a 5} on the right that partitions the right side of the sealed chamber 110a for adhesion. It is partitioned by _6.

In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, of the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a ₁ , 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , 110a ₄ , 110a ₅ , 110a ₆ , the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a ₁ , 110a ₄ is the first case 111. The closed chamber partition wall portions 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , 110a ₅ , 110a ₆ are provided on the side, and are provided on the second case 112 side. In addition, among the closed room compartment wall portions 110a ₁ , 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , 110a ₄ , 110a ₅ , 110a ₆ , the _{closed chamber compartment wall portion 110a 1} , 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , excluding the closed chamber compartment wall portion 110a _6. 110a ₄ and 110a ₅ are externally exposed closed chamber compartment walls in which the outer wall surface is exposed to the outside (the state where the first case 111 and the second case 112 are assembled and then exposed to the outside). ing. On the other hand, the closed chamber compartment wall portion 110a ₆ is an external non-exposed closed chamber compartment in which the outer wall surface is not exposed to the outside (the first case 111 and the second case 112 are not exposed to the outside after being assembled). It is a wall part.

In the board case 100 of the present invention, among the sealed chamber dividing wall portion 110a ₁ ~110a _6, and the inner wall surface of at least the outer exposed type enclosed chamber dividing wall portion _{110a 1, 110a 2, 110a 3} , 110a 4, 110a 5 A low thermal conductivity layer 110b (a portion closed by a broken line in FIG. 12) having a low thermal conductivity is provided between the adhesive holding portion 161 and the outer wall surface.

This is because, as in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, when the A connecting portion and the like are connected by an adhesive, the periphery of the adhesive holding portion 161 in which the adhesive is held is surrounded by a dryer or the like. The adhesive is heated to soften it into a liquid state, and the adhesive is adhered at the A connecting portion or the like in a state where no noticeable traces are left on the adhesive holding portion 161 and the peripheral portion in the first case 111 and the second case 112. There is a possibility that some people will try to unlock it illegally. However, as described above, when the first case 111 and the second case 112 are assembled, the adhesive holding portion 161 fits inside the adhesive sealing chamber 110a (necessarily, the adhesive portion 162 for the anti-holding portion is also adhered). (It fits inside the closed chamber 110a), _{the inner wall surface of the externally exposed closed chamber compartment wall portion 110a 1} , 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , 110a ₄ , 110a ₅ , and the adhesive holding portion where the adhesive is held. By providing the low thermal conductive layer 110b between the outer wall surface of the 161 and the outer wall surface of the substrate case 100, even if the portion exposed to the outside of the substrate case 100 is heated by a dryer or the like, between the heated portion and the adhesive holding portion 161. Since the low thermal conductive layer 110b is present in the adhesive layer 110b, it is possible to make it difficult for the heat to be transferred to the adhesive held by the adhesive holding portion 161 and cured, thereby enhancing the effect of preventing unauthorized opening of the substrate case 100. Because it becomes possible.

In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, only between the inner wall surface of the externally exposed type closed chamber partition wall portion 110a ₁ , 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , 110a ₄ , 110a _{5 and} the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion 161. A low thermal conductive layer 110b is also provided between the inner wall surface of the external non-exposed type closed chamber partition wall portion 110a _{6 and} the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion 161, and is added to the outer wall surface of the substrate case 100. The heat is less likely to be transferred to the adhesive holding portion 161.

The thickness of the low heat conductive layer 110b ( _{in the case of the low heat conductive layer 110 between the inner wall surface of the closed chamber partition wall portion 110a 1 and} the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion 161, the closed chamber partition wall portion 110a ₁ Thickness in the direction perpendicular to the inner wall surface. Low heat conductive layer between the inner wall surface of the other closed chamber partition wall portions 110a ₂ , 110a ₃ , 110a ₄ , 110a ₅ , 110a _{6 and} the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion 161. The same applies to 110.) Is not particularly limited. However, if the low thermal conductive layer 110 is too thin, even if the low thermal conductive layer 110b is provided, the heat applied to the outer wall surface of the substrate case 100 may be easily transferred to the adhesive holding portion 161. Therefore, the thickness of the low heat conductive layer 110b (the minimum value when the thickness of the low heat conductive layer 110b differs depending on the location) is usually 0.5 mm or more. The thickness of the low thermal conductive layer 110b is preferably 1 mm or more, and more preferably 2 mm or more. The upper limit of the thickness of the low heat conductive layer 110b is not particularly limited, but is usually up to about 10 to 20 mm.

The low thermal conductive layer 110b is a layer (insulation material-filled layer) filled with a fiber-based residual heat material such as glass wool or rock wool, or a heat insulating material such as urethane foam, polystyrene foam, or foam-based heat insulating material such as foamed rubber. You can also. However, in this case, the cost increases due to the use of the heat insulating material, and the heat insulating material is provided _{between the inner wall surface of the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a 1 to 110a 6 and} the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion 161 (gap). The filling work also requires time and effort, and for that reason, the thermal conductivity of these general heat insulating materials is higher than that of air. In addition, the heat insulating material makes it difficult to visually recognize the adhesive holding portion 161 and the bonded portion 162 for the pair holding portion, and there is a possibility that it becomes difficult to find the trace generated in the portion during unauthorized access. Further, the low heat conductive layer 110b may be a low pressure gas layer made of a gas in a low pressure state (including a vacuum state). However, in this case, it takes time and cost to reduce the pressure between the inner wall surface of the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a _{1 to 110a 6 and} the outer wall surface of the adhesive holding portion 161 (adhesive closed chamber 110a). It is not easy to maintain the low pressure state for a long period of time. In addition, the cost is high when a gas other than air is used. In this respect, if the low thermal conductive layer 110b is an air layer (particularly an air layer having a normal pressure), the thermal conductivity of the low thermal conductive layer 110b can be suppressed to a low level without requiring particular cost and labor. Also in the substrate case 100 of this embodiment, the low heat conductive layer 110b is an air layer at normal pressure.

In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as described above, the low thermal conductive layer 110b is provided around the adhesive holding portion 161. Therefore, the adhesive holding portion 161 is suspended inside the adhesive sealing chamber 110a. It is supported in a floating state. The support structure of the adhesive holding portion 161 is not particularly limited, but in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the first arm portion 111d is in a state of protruding inward of the adhesive sealing chamber 110a. Is provided in the first case 111 (base member), and the adhesive holding portion 161 is provided at the tip of the first arm portion 111d. As a result, the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a _{1 to 110a 6} and the adhesive holding portion 161 are locally connected only at the portion where the first arm portion 111d is provided. Therefore, the closed chamber partition wall portion 110a It becomes possible to make it more difficult for heat to be transferred to the adhesive holding portion 161. The first arm portion 111d may be provided on the second case 112 (cover member). In this case, the second arm portion 112f, which will be described later, is provided in the first case 111 (base member).

In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12A, the first arm portion 111d has a cross-sectional area reduction portion for reducing the cross-sectional area as compared with other portions in the first arm portion 111d. 111d ₁ is provided. As a result, it becomes possible to make it difficult for heat to be transferred from the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a _{1 to 110a 6 to the adhesive holding portion 161 through the first arm portion 111d.} Examples of the cross-sectional area reduction portion 111d ₁ include openings, recesses, notches, cavities, and the like. If the first arm portion 111d is provided with an opening, a recess, a notch, a cavity, or the like, the cross-sectional area of the first arm portion 111d can be reduced at that portion, making it difficult for heat to be transmitted. In the substrate case 100 of this embodiment, the cross-sectional area reduction portion 111d ₁ is an opening.

The form of the adhesive holding portion 161 is not particularly limited as long as it can hold the adhesive. The adhesive holding portion 161 may also have a plate shape to which an adhesive can be applied. However, in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the adhesive holding portion 161 has a box shape having a recess so that the adhesive can be stored in the recess. .. As shown in FIG. 9, the inside of the adhesive holding portion 161 (adhesive storage portion) is partitioned by a plurality of partition walls 161a (two partition walls 161a in the example of FIG. 9). The form of each partition wall 161a is not particularly limited, but in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the second case 112 is projected to the side to which the second case 112 is assembled (negative side in the y-axis direction). The plate-shaped portion constitutes the partition wall 161a. In this way, by partitioning the adhesive storage portion in the adhesive holding portion 161 by the partition wall 161, it is possible to enhance the holding property of the adhesive with respect to the adhesive holding portion 161. Further, it is also possible to increase the contact area between the adhesive holding portion 161 and the adhesive to more firmly bond the adhesive holding portion 161 and the bonded portion 162 for the holding portion.

Further, as shown in FIG. 7, the case rotating member 110 is provided with support shaft portions 141, 143 and flange portions 142, 144. The support shaft portions 141, 143 and the collar portions 142, 144 can be provided in the second case 112, but in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, they are provided in the first case 111. There is.

3.1.2 Second Case The second case 112 is not particularly limited in its form, but in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 8, the front wall portion 112a having a rectangular shape in front view and the front wall portion 112 A pair of left and right side wall portions 112b and 112c, which are provided so as to project rearward from the vicinity of the left edge portion and the right edge portion of 112a, respectively.
It is composed of an upper wall portion 112d provided so as to project rearward from the upper edge portion of the front wall portion 112a, a lower wall portion 112e provided so as to project rearward from the lower edge portion of the front wall portion 112a, and the like. There is.

The control board 300 is fixed to the rear surface side of the front wall portion 112a of the second case 112 via a fixing tool such as a screw. Various electronic components such as a CPU and ROM are mounted on the control board 300, and it is preferable to mount the control board 300 in a state where the mounting surface side of these electronic components faces the second case 112 side (front side). This makes it possible to check from the front side of the case rotating member 110 (board case 100) whether or not there is any abnormality in the electronic components mounted on the control board 300. Further, as already described, since the second case 112 is assembled to the first case 111 with the control board 300 attached to the rear side, the mounting surface of the electronic component on the control board 300 faces the rear side. If this is the case, when the second case 112 is assembled to the first case 111, the electronic components of the control board 300 may interfere with the first case 111. By facing the front side, it is possible to prevent such a problem.

As shown in FIG. 10, the second case 112 is provided with a bonded portion 162 for a pair holding portion that functions as an A connecting portion. The bonded portion 162 for the pair holding portion is provided at a position overlapping the adhesive holding portion 161 of the first case 111 when the second case 112 is assembled to the first case 111. In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, since the adhesive holding portion 161 is provided at the upper left corner portion and the upper right corner portion of the first case 111, the adhesive portion 162 for the anti-holding portion is second. It is provided in the upper left corner and the upper right corner of the case 112.

As described above, since the adhesive holding portion 161 is supported while floating in the air inside the adhesive sealing chamber 110a, the adhesive portion 162 for the anti-holding portion that is adhered to the adhesive holding portion 161 is also attached. , It is supported in a state of floating in the air inside the sealing chamber 110a for adhesion. The support structure of the bonded portion 162 for the anti-holding portion is not particularly limited, but in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the second bonding chamber 110a is in a state of projecting inside. The arm portion 112f is provided in the second case 111 (cover member), and the adhesive portion 162 for the anti-holding portion is provided at the tip end portion of the second arm portion 112f. As a result, the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a _{1 to 110a 6} and the bonded portion 162 for the anti-holding portion are locally connected only at the portion where the second arm portion 112f is provided. It is possible to make it more difficult for heat to be transferred from the wall portion 110a to the bonded portion 162 for the pair holding portion. The second arm portion 112f may be provided on the first case 111 (base member). In this case, the first arm portion 112d is provided in the second case 112 (cover member).

In the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12A, the second arm portion 112f has a cross-sectional area reduction portion for reducing the cross-sectional area as compared with other portions in the second arm portion 112f. 112f ₁ is provided. As a result, it becomes possible to make it difficult for heat to be transferred from the closed chamber partition wall portions 110a _{1 to 110a 6 to the bonded portion 162 for the pair holding portion through the second arm portion 112f.} Examples of the cross-sectional area reduction portion 112f ₁ include openings, recesses, notches, cavities, and the like. If the second arm portion 112f is provided with an opening, a recess, a notch, a cavity, or the like, the cross-sectional area of the second arm portion 112f can be reduced at that portion, making it difficult for heat to be transmitted. Further, in the A connecting portion formed by bonding the adhesive holding portion 161 and the bonded portion 162 for the pair holding portion, the second arm portion 112f is cut with a cutting tool such as nippers when the substrate case 100 is normally opened. By providing the second arm portion 112f with the cross-sectional area reducing portion 112f ₁ , a part of the cutting tool (for example, a blade of nippers) can be inserted into the _{cross-sectional area reducing portion 112f 1, and so on.} There is also an advantage that the second arm portion 112f can be easily cut when the connecting portion is normally released. In the substrate case 100 of this embodiment, the cross-sectional area reduction portion 112f ₁ is an opening.

The second arm portion 112f may have a shape that extends straight in a straight line, but preferably has a shape that is bent in a non-linear shape. As a result, the heat transfer path from the sealed chamber partition wall portions 110a _{1 to 110a 6} to the anti-holding portion adhered portion 162 is lengthened, and heat is further transferred to the anti-holding portion adhered portion 162 through the second arm portion 112f. It becomes possible to make it difficult. Also in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 11, the second arm portion 112f is bent in the vicinity of the base end portion thereof. Although not adopted in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, the first arm portion 111d may also be in a non-linearly curved form for the same reason as the second arm portion 112f.

The form of the bonded portion 162 for the anti-holding portion is not particularly limited as long as it can come into contact with the adhesive held by the adhesive holding portion 161. The bonded portion 162 for the anti-holding portion may have a simple plate shape. However, in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10, the bonded portion 162 for the anti-holding portion is formed as having a plurality of projecting pieces 162a (three projecting pieces 162a in the example of FIG. 10). There is. As described above, the inside of the adhesive holding portion 161 (adhesive storage portion) is divided into three spaces by two partition walls 161a, and three projecting pieces 162a are provided in each of the three spaces. Is inserted. As a result, the contact area between the anti-holding portion to be adhered 162 and the adhesive can be increased, and the adhesive holding portion 161 and the anti-holding portion to be adhered 162 can be more firmly adhered to each other. There is.

Further, in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12A, the second arm portion 112f is provided with a pair of left and right _{engaging convex portions 112f 2.} The engaging convex portion 112f ₂ is a portion to be engaged with the engaged projections 111e provided on the first case 111 in pairs on the left and right. In order to remove the second case 112 from the first case 111, it is necessary to first slide the second case 112 upward (positive side in the z-axis direction) from the state shown in FIG. 12 (a), and the adhesive holding portion. If the adhesion between the 161 and the bonded portion 162 for the pair holding portion is incomplete, the second case 112 can be slid upward. At this point, _{by providing the engaging convex portion 112f 2} , even if the second case 112 is to be slid upward, the engaging convex portion 112f ₂ engages with the engaged projection 111e, and the engaging convex portion 112f ₂ Alternatively, the second case 112 cannot be slid upward unless plastic deformation (some trace) such as breakage occurs in or around the engaged protrusion 111e. On the other hand, immediately before the attachment of the second case 112 to the first case 111 is completed, the second case 112 is slid downward. At this time, the pair of engaged portions 111e are paired with the pair of engaging convex portions 112f. It is designed to be elastically expanded by _2.

3.1.3 Attachment of Operating Means to the Substrate Case By the way, in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 13 and 14, the operating means 610 is attached to the substrate case 100. Since the operation means 610 is for performing a setting change operation of the control board 300 (FIG. 8) (an operation of changing a setting such as a winning probability of a game combination), the control board 300 is connected by a cable 700 (FIG. 15). Connected to. However, in the rotation-supporting substrate case 100 (the substrate case 100 having the case rotating member 110) such as the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, the operating means 610 is not rotated in the substrate case 100 (case rotation). If it is provided on a portion other than the member 110), the cable 700 may be entangled or interfere with surrounding members when the case rotating member 110 is rotated. This is because, as shown in FIG. 8, the connector insertion port 110d for inserting the connector portion of the cable 700 to connect the cable 700 to the control board 300 is a case rotating member 110 accommodating the control board 300. Since it is provided in the constituent member (first case 111 or second case 112), if the operating means 610 is provided in a portion that does not rotate, the operating means 610 inserts the connector when the case rotating member 110 is rotated. This is because it moves relative to the mouth 110d. In this regard, the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment solves this problem by adopting the following configuration.

First, as shown in FIG. 8, a position where the relative position with the connector insertion port 110d does not change even if the case rotating member 110 is rotated (first case 111 constituting the case rotating member 110). Alternatively, the second case 112) is provided with an operating means mounting portion 110e for mounting the operating means 610. Therefore, even if the operating means 610 is attached to the portion that rotates integrally with the case rotating member 110 and the case rotating member 110 is rotated, the relative position of the operating means 610 with respect to the connector insertion port 110d remains. It is designed so that it does not change. In other words, even if the case rotating member 110 is rotated, the cable 700 (FIG. 15) is not deformed, and the cable 700 can be made difficult to get entangled even though the substrate case 100 is a rotation support type. It has become.

In the board case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the first case 111 is provided with the operating means mounting portion 110e, and as shown in FIG. 10, the second case 112 is provided with the connector insertion port 110d. However, the member provided with the operating means mounting portion 110e and the connector insertion port 110d may be reversed (the connector insertion port 110d is provided in the first case 111, and the operating means mounting portion 110e is provided in the second case 112). It is possible. Further, it is also possible to provide both the operating means mounting portion 110e and the connector insertion port 110d in only one of the first case 111 and the second case 112.

Secondly, as shown in FIG. 15, the cable 700 connecting the operating means 610 and the connector insertion port 110d faces the open surface of the gaming machine housing at the boundary between the first case 111 and the second case 112. The connector insertion port from the vicinity of the operating means along the open side boundary portion 110c exposed to the side (the front side in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment; hereinafter may be referred to as the “housing open side”). A guide portion 800 that guides the outer peripheral surface of the cable 700 so as to reach the vicinity of 110d is provided in the vicinity of the open side boundary portion 110c in the first case 111 or the second case 112.

The cable 700 usually has a certain degree of hardness and elasticity, and it is not easy to route the cable 700 as expected. However, by providing the guide portion 800 as in such a configuration, the cable 700 is provided. It is possible to easily handle the 700 from the vicinity of the operating means mounting portion 110e to the vicinity of the connector insertion port 110d.

Further, when the cable 700 overlaps with the housing open side of the control board 300, it becomes difficult to visually confirm the trace of unauthorized access to the control board 300. By providing the cable 700 in the vicinity of the open side boundary portion 110c with the second case 112, the cable 700 can be routed along the open side boundary portion 110c. Therefore, a path that does not easily interfere with visual inspection of traces of unauthorized access to the control board 300 (the boundary between the first case 111 and the second case 112 is covered on the housing open side of the control board 300 accommodated therein. It is possible not only to route the cable 700 along the line (which is often provided without covering), but also to easily perform the operation of routing the cable 700 on the open side of the housing rather than the board case 100. ..

The guide portion 800 may be provided only in a part of the routes for routing the cable 700 (the routing route for the cable 700 along the open side boundary portion 110c), but the guide portion 800 may be provided in substantially the entire route (all sections). It is preferable to provide it continuously or intermittently. This makes it easier for the cable 700 to be more stable and maintained on the desired path along the open side boundary 110c. However, even if the guide portion 800 is provided only in a part of the route, if the guide portion 800 is effectively arranged such as by arranging the guide portion 800 at a place where the cable 700 is bent, the cable 700 can be placed on the open side boundary. It is possible to stabilize on the desired path along the portion 110c.

Thirdly, the operating means mounting portion 110e is placed near the edge of the first case 111 or the second case 112 (in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the vicinity of the edge of the first case 111). The connector insertion port 110d is provided in the vicinity of the edge of the first case 111 or the second case 112 at a position away from the operating means mounting portion 110e (in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 10). In the second case 112, it is provided near the edge portion of the operating means mounting portion 110e (FIG. 9). As a result, even if the operating means 610 and the connector insertion port 110d are arranged at a certain distance from each other, the cable 700 can be routed to a location that does not easily interfere with the inspection. Therefore, the degree of freedom in arranging the operating means 610 and the connector insertion port 110d is increased, and the limited space inside the gaming machine housing can be efficiently used.

Fourth, as shown in FIG. 15, the guide portion 800 is provided in the first case 111, and the first guide portion guides the outer peripheral surface of the cable 700 from the first case 111 side in the open side boundary portion 110c. It is composed of 801 and a second guide portion 802 provided on the second case 112 and guiding the outer peripheral surface of the cable 700 from the second case 112 side in the open side boundary portion 110c. The form of the first guide portion 801 and the second guide portion 802 is not particularly limited as long as the cable 700 can be guided. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 30, the first guide portion 801 is a plate-shaped convex portion, and the second guide portion 802 is a curved plate-shaped portion having an L-shaped cross section. Figure 30, the periphery of the guide portion 800 of the board case 100 is a sectional view showing a state taken along a _Z 1 -Z ₁ side in FIG. 15. In FIG. 30, the cable 700 is shown by a thick broken line. Looking at FIG. 30, it can be seen that the cable 700 can be guided from both sides by the first guide portion 801 and the second guide portion 802.

As a result, the outer peripheral surface of the cable 700 is guided from one side (first case 111 side when viewed from the open side boundary portion 110c) and the other side (second case 112 side when viewed from the open side boundary portion 110c), and the cable is cabled. It is possible to make the posture of the 700 more stable. In addition, when it is attempted to provide the substrate case 100 with a guide portion 800 (hereinafter, may be referred to as a "both-sided guide portion") capable of guiding the outer peripheral surface of the cable 700 from both sides (one side and the other side). , The restrictions on the molding die of the substrate case 100 become large, and in some cases, the manufacturing cost of the substrate case 100 may increase significantly. In particular, if the guide portions 800 on both sides are provided on only one of the first case 111 and the second case 112, the structure of the molding die of the substrate case 100 becomes complicated. Above all, it is very difficult to provide the guide portion 800 having a complicated shape as shown in FIG. 30 in one member. In this regard, as in this configuration, by providing the first guide portion 801 and the second guide portion 802 separately for the first case 111 and the second case 112, the molding die (first) of the substrate case 100 is provided. It is possible to reduce the restrictions required on the molding dies of the case 111 and the second case 112).

Further, when the double-sided guide portion 800 is provided only in the first case 111, it is necessary to provide a dedicated space for forming the double-sided guide portion 800 in a state of projecting to the outside of the first case 111. As a result, the space efficiency around the first case 111 deteriorates. As in this configuration, the first guide portion 801 and the second guide portion 802 are shared between the first case 111 and the second case 112. As a result, it is not necessary to provide a dedicated space for forming the double-sided guide portion 800 in a state of projecting to the outside of the first case 111, and it is possible to prevent deterioration of space efficiency around the first case 111. It has become. Further, when the double-sided guide portion 800 is provided only in the second case 112, when the second case 112 is viewed from the front, the guide portions 800 and the cable 300 on both sides are closer to the control board 300. The first guide unit 801 and the second guide unit 802 are divided into the first case 111 and the second case 112 as in this configuration, where the control board 300 is less visible. It is also possible to prevent a decrease in the visibility of the control board 300 by providing the control board 300.

Fifth, as shown in FIG. 8, the first case 111 is provided in the vicinity of the rear wall portion 111a (first case rear wall portion) covering the rear side of the control board 300 and the edge portion of the first case rear wall portion 111a. It is assumed that the side wall portions 111s and 111t (first case side wall portions) stand up from the front side, and the second case 112 has a front wall portion 112a (second case front wall portion) that covers the front side of the control board 300. Assuming that, the first case side wall portions 111s, 111t _{are provided with front wall reaching portions 111s 1} , 111t ₁ reaching near the edge of the second case front wall portion 112a, and the first guide portion 801 is provided with the first case side wall portion. The front wall reaching portions 111s ₁ , 111t ₁ of 111s, 111t are provided, and the second guide portion 802 is provided near the edge portion of the front wall portion 112a of the second case. As a result, not only the space efficiency around the substrate case 100 can be further improved, but also the visibility of the control substrate 300 housed in the substrate case 100 can be maintained higher.

Sixth, as shown in FIG. 13, a mounting bracket 620 for mounting the operating means 610 to the operating means mounting portion 110e is prepared, and as shown in FIG. 16, the third guide portion is attached to the mounting bracket 620. 622 is provided. As shown in FIG. 15, the third guide portion 622 covers the outer peripheral surface of the cable 700 and guides the cable 700 from the operating means 610 to the vicinity of the open side boundary portion 110c. As a result, the portion of the cable 700 located between the operating means 610 and the open side boundary portion 110c can also be guided, and the form of the portion can be stabilized. In the present embodiment, the third guide portion 622 is a tunnel type having a substantially semicircular cross section, but the form of the third guide portion 622 is not limited to this.

3.2 Case fixing member (fixing member on one side of the case and fixing member on the other side of the case)
The case fixing members 120 and 130 are members that are fixed to the case mounting member 200 in a stationary state. In this embodiment, the case fixing members 120 and 130 are arranged on one side (left side) of the case rotating member 110 and on the other side (right side) of the case rotating member 110. It is composed of a case other side fixing member 130 to be formed. The case one-side fixing member 120 pivotally supports the case rotating member 110 from the left side, and the case other-side fixing member 130 pivotally supports the case rotating member 110 from the right side. By pivotally supporting the case rotating member 110 from both sides in this way, the case rotating member 110 can be rotated in a stable state.

As described above, the case one-side fixing member 120 is provided with the upper bearing portion 122 (FIG. 5A), and the upper bearing portion 122 is provided with the lower bearing portion 201 provided on the case mounting member 200. In combination with FIG. 19 (FIG. 19), the left side of the case rotating member 110 is pivotally supported. The case one-side fixing member 120 is not an essential member. The case one-side fixing member 120 is an open annular clip portion provided on the front side of the case mounting member 200 (a C-shaped elastic clip capable of press-fitting the support shaft portion 141 into the inside from the cut portion). It is also possible to substitute with.

Further, the case other side fixing member 130 is provided with an interpolated bearing portion 133 (FIG. 6B) for inserting and supporting the shaft inside the support shaft portion 143 of the case rotating member 110. The right side of the case rotating member 110 is pivotally supported. However, the support shaft portion 143 is also inserted into the annular portion 151 (FIG. 23) of the bearing member 150 and is also addressed to the rear bearing portion 202 (FIG. 19) of the case mounting member 200, and these portions are used. Is also bearing.

Inside the case other side fixing member 130, as shown in FIG. 6 (b), a B connecting portion for engaging with the engaged movable body 501 (FIG. 21) of the case mounting member 200. A joint portion 401 and a C connecting portion engaging portion 402 are provided. As already described, the engaged movable body 501 of the case mounting member 200 can move between the B position and the C position, and when it is in the B position, it is used as a B connecting part, and when it is in the C position, it is used as a C connecting part. Where it was supposed to function, the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion engages with the movable body 501 to be engaged when it is in the B position, and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion is in the C position. It is designed to engage with the movable body 501 for engagement.

Although not adopted in the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200 of the present embodiment, when the board case 100 and the case mounting member 200 are provided with the D connecting portion, the E connecting portion, or the like, the case other side fixing member 130 is used. Further, an engaging portion for the D connecting portion and an engaging portion for the E connecting portion can be provided. When the case other side fixing member 130 is provided with not only the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion but also the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion, the engaging portion for the D connecting portion, the engaging portion for the E connecting portion, and the like. , These engaging portions are usually provided in parallel in a direction non-parallel to the engaging direction. In the present embodiment, the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion are provided in parallel in a direction substantially perpendicular to the engaging direction thereof.

The engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion may have a simple form (for example, a form composed of only one hook pin). However, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 6B, each of the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion is provided in two stages in the vertical direction (z-axis direction). , It is composed of a total of four hook pins 400 arranged in two stages in the front-rear direction (y-axis direction). In this way, by forming the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion into a complicated form, the engaging portion for the B connecting portion is not accompanied by plastic deformation such as breakage or whitening. The engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion 401 and the C connecting portion can be made difficult to be removed from the movable body 501 for engagement.

The engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion are supported on the inner surface of the main body 131 of the case other side fixing member 130, and the engaging portion for the B connecting portion is inside the main body 131. A thinly formed fragile portion 131b (FIG. 6A) is provided at a location where the joint portion 401 and the C connecting portion engaging portion 402 are designated. Therefore, if an attempt is made to illegally disengage the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion or the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion, traces such as destruction marks and whitening marks are likely to remain on the fragile portion 131b. ..

3.3 Bearing member As shown in FIG. 23, the bearing member 150 is provided with an annular portion 151, a fixed portion 152 that is bent in an L shape from the annular portion 151 and extends, and an annular portion 151 in the fixed portion 152. It is provided with an engaged separating portion 153 provided at an end portion on the opposite side to the bearing side. As already described, the annular portion 151 is a portion that pivotally supports the support shaft portion 143 (FIG. 21) of the case rotating member 110. The fixed portion 152 is a portion for fixing to the case mounting member 200 (FIG. 21).

The engaged separation portion 153 is joined to the fixed portion 152 only by the fragile joint portion 152a (FIG. 23 (b)) provided at the end of the fixed portion 152, and is joined to the fixed portion 152 from other portions of the bearing member 150. It can be easily separated. The fragile joint portion 152a is not particularly limited as long as it has a certain degree of rigidity and can be easily cut. The fragile joint portion 152a may be a portion provided with a fracture auxiliary line in addition to a thin-walled portion or a small-diameter portion. Since the form of the engaged separation portion 153 and the like are substantially the same as those of the engaged portion 501a of the movable body 501 (FIG. 25) to be engaged, which will be described later, the description thereof will be omitted.

Normally, the bearing member 150 functions as a B connecting portion (or C connecting portion) that connects the case rotating member 110 to the case mounting member 200, but the B connecting portion (or C connecting portion) is connected. When it is no longer needed, the engaged separation portion 153 can function as an F connecting portion. The annular portion 151 also functions as a jig functioning portion that functions as a jig that guides the engaged separation portion 153 to the portion connected by the F connecting portion when the F connecting portion is connected. ..

FIG. 28 is a view of the bearing member 150 connecting the F connecting portions as viewed from diagonally forward upper right. FIG. 29 (a) is an enlarged view of the state before connecting the F connecting portion with the bearing member 150 around the F connecting portion and viewed from the front, and FIG. 29 (b) is a view of the bearing member 150. It is the figure which magnified around the F connection part and seen from the front after the connection of the F connection part was made in. In FIG. 29, a portion of the case rotating member 110 and the bearing member 150 related to the F connecting portion (a portion covering the F connecting portion on the negative side in the y-axis direction) is shown by breaking.

As shown in FIG. 29, the first case of the case rotating member 110 is formed by engaging the engaged separating portion 153 of the bearing member 150 with the engaging portion 403 for the F connecting portion of the case rotating member 110. The 111 and the second case 112 are connected to each other. When the engaging separation portion 153 is engaged with the F connecting portion engaging portion 403, the case rotating member 110 cannot be opened unless a destruction mark or the like is left in or around the F connecting portion. .. As shown in FIG. 29 (b), when the engaged separation portion 153 is engaged with the F connecting portion engaging portion 403, the annular portion 151 is operated to bend or twist the fragile joint portion 152a. By applying the force of, the bearing member 150 is cut at the fragile joint portion 152a, and the annular portion 151 and the fixed portion 152 are in a state where they can be removed from the case rotating member 110. One of the engaged separation portions 153 remains engaged on the case rotating member 110 side in a state of being engaged with the F connecting portion engaging portion 403. In this state, when the second case 112 is slid upward (positive side in the z-axis direction) with respect to the first case 111 to separate the first case 111 and the second case 112, it is engaged. The flange receiving surface 112h of the second case 112 comes into contact with the flange portion 153a of the separating portion 153, and the engaging separating portion 153 also tries to move upward, but the engaged separating portion 153 engages with the F connecting portion. Since it is in a state of being engaged with the portion 403, it cannot be moved upward.

The reason why the bearing member 150 has such a configuration is as follows. That is, the board case 100 of the gaming machine usually seals the control board 300 by combining a plurality of members (in the board case 100 of the present embodiment, the first case 111, the second case 112, etc.). A plurality of types of fraud prevention connecting structures are provided to prevent the members of the set from being illegally separated by connecting any set of the members among the plurality of members. In many cases (the above-mentioned A connecting portion, B connecting portion, C connecting portion, D connecting portion, E connecting portion, F connecting portion, etc.).

However, some of these fraud prevention connection structures are not used at the same time. For example, when the "F connecting portion" is used, the "B connecting portion", the "C connecting portion", the "D connecting portion", and the "E connecting portion" are not used. Further, when the "C connecting portion" is used, the "B connecting portion" is not used, and when the "D connecting portion" is used, the "C connecting portion" is not used and the "E connecting portion" is used. At that time, the "D connection part" is not used. As described above, although the board case 100 of the gaming machine has a plurality of types of fraud prevention connecting structures that are not used at the same time, the components of the fraud prevention connecting structure that are no longer needed are discarded as they are and are not used. It is an economy. In this regard, in the board case 100 of the gaming machine, when the connection in one kind of fraud prevention connecting structure becomes unnecessary, the component of the one kind of fraud prevention connecting structure is used for another kind of fraud prevention. This is because the above problem can be solved if it can be used for connection in a connection structure.

In particular,
By combining a plurality of members (first case 111, second case 112, etc. in the board case 100 of the present embodiment), the control board 300 of the gaming machine is sealed, and any one of the plurality of members is sealed. In the substrate case 100 provided with a plurality of types of fraud prevention connecting structures for preventing the members of the set from being illegally separated by connecting the members of the set.
To the component parts (bearing member 150 in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment) of one kind of fraud prevention connecting structure (B connecting portion or C connecting portion in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment).
When the connection of the one type of fraud prevention connection structure is unnecessary, it can be used as a connection portion in another type of fraud prevention connection structure (F connection portion in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment). Seed connection structure diversion section (in the substrate case 100 of this embodiment, the engaging separation section 153) and
A jig function that functions as a jig that guides the diversion portion of the other type of fraud prevention connection structure to a portion connected by the other type of fraud prevention connection structure when the other type of fraud prevention connection structure is connected. This is solved by providing a portion (an annular portion 151 in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment).

As described above, the component of the fraud prevention connection structure of the first type is combined with the other type connection structure diversion portion 153 that can be used as the connection portion in the fraud prevention connection structure of the other type, and the other type connection structure diversion. By providing the jig function portion 151 that functions as a jig that guides the portion 153 to the portion to be connected by the fraud prevention connecting structure of the other type, the connection in the fraud prevention connecting structure of the one type is unnecessary. Even when this happens, the components of the one type of fraud prevention connecting structure can be effectively used as the other type connecting structure diversion unit 153 and the jig function unit 151. Further, by providing the jig function unit 151, it is possible to facilitate the operation of the other type connection structure diversion unit 153 when connecting the other type of fraud prevention connection structure.

When connecting the other type of fraud prevention connection structure (F connection portion in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment), the other type of connection structure diversion portion (in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, for engagement) It is preferable that a portion to which the separating portion 153) is connected (hereinafter, may be referred to as a “connecting portion by another type of connecting structure diversion portion”) is provided at a position deep from the outer wall surface of the substrate case 100.

This makes it possible to perform the connection in the other type of fraud prevention connection structure at a recessed portion in the substrate case 100 and prevent the connection from being illegally released. In addition, the work of operating the other-type connection structure diversion unit 153 in such a deep portion is normally difficult to perform, but the other-type connection structure diversion unit 153 is provided with the other-type fraud prevention connection structure. By providing the jig function unit 151 that functions as a jig that guides the parts to be connected, the above work can be performed relatively easily.

There is no particular limitation on how deep the connection portion by the other type connection structure diversion portion 153 (the connection portion of the F connection portion in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment) is provided in the substrate case 100 from the outer wall surface. _{However, if the distance L 1} (see FIG. 29 (a)) from the connecting portion by the other type connecting structure diversion portion 153 to the outer wall surface of the substrate case 100 is too short, the above effect is difficult to be achieved. Therefore, the distance L ₁ is preferably 5 mm or more. The distance L ₁ is more preferably 10 mm or more, and further preferably 15 mm or more. The upper limit of the distance L ₁ is not particularly limited, but the ease of operation of the other type connection structure diversion unit 153 by the jig function unit 151 and the dimensions of the substrate accommodating portion (case rotating member 110) in the substrate case 100 are taken into consideration. Then, it is up to about 50 mm.

One of the connecting portions connected to each other by the one type of fraud prevention connecting structure (B connecting portion or C connecting portion in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment) is a shaft-shaped portion (the substrate of the present embodiment). In the case 100, the support shaft portion 143) of the case rotating member 110 is used, and the other is an annular portion for axially supporting the shaft-shaped portion (in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, the annular portion 151 of the bearing member 150). ,
When the annular portion is used as the jig function portion to connect the other type of fraud prevention connecting structure (F connecting portion in the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment), a finger is hung on the annular portion. It is also preferable to be able to operate the other type connection structure diversion part.

This makes it easier to operate the jig function unit 151 with fingers, and makes it possible to more easily perform the connection in the other type of fraud prevention connection structure.

Like the substrate case 100 of the present embodiment, the substrate accommodating portion (case rotating portion 110) in the substrate case 100 is covered with a first case 111 that covers one side of the control substrate 300 and a first case that covers the other side of the control substrate 300. When it is composed of two cases 112,
The above-mentioned one type of fraud prevention connecting structure is used to connect the board case 100 to the case mounting member 200 mounted on the gaming machine housings 10a and 10b (B connecting portion, C connecting portion, etc.). ,
This is for connecting the second case 112 to the first case 111 after the other type of fraud prevention connection structure is normally disconnected from the one type of fraud prevention connection structure (F). It is also preferable to use a connecting portion).

This is because, as already described, when connecting the F connecting portions, the substrate case 100 is always in a state of being removed from the case mounting member 200. In other words, to the above-mentioned type of fraud prevention connecting structure (B connecting portion, C connecting portion, etc. that connects the board case 100 to the case mounting member 200), be sure to connect the F connecting portion immediately before connecting the F connecting portion. The disconnect operation should be performed. As described above, by making it necessary to operate the fraud prevention connection structure of the one kind immediately before connecting the fraud prevention connection structure of the other kind, the other kind of the above-mentioned other kind of connection structure. This is because it is possible to remember to connect the fraud prevention connection structure.

4. Case Mounting Member Next, a case mounting member 200 to which the above board case 100 is mounted will be described. The rear surface side of the case mounting member 200 is fixed at a predetermined position on the housings 10a and 10b (FIG. 2) of the gaming machine. In this embodiment, since the board case 100 is used for the main control board unit 30 (FIG. 2), the rear surface of the case mounting member 200 is placed on the upper part of the front surface of _{the back plate 10a 1 of the housing body 10a (FIG. 2).} I try to fix it. The method of fixing the case mounting member 200 to the housings 10a and 10b is not particularly limited, but a fixing tool such as a screw is usually used. The form of the case mounting member 200 is not particularly limited. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 19, the case mounting member 200 has a rectangular panel shape when viewed from the front.

As shown in FIG. 19, a movable body 501 for engagement that functions as a B connecting portion or a C connecting portion is provided on the front surface side of the case mounting member 200. As shown in FIG. 25, the engaged movable body 501 is composed of an engaged portion 501a and a base portion 501b.

The engaged portion 501a serves as a portion for inserting and engaging the hook pin 400 of the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion or the engaging portion 402 for the C connecting portion provided on the case other side fixing member 130. There is. In the present embodiment, the engaged portion 501a has a box shape having an _{opening 501a 1} on the side surface, and the hook pin 400 is engaged from the inside with the edge of the _{opening 501a 1.} It has become. _{Inside the engaged portion 501, a hook pin guide portion 501a 2} is also provided to push the hook pin 400 inserted therein to the outside to prevent the engagement from being released.

The base portion 501b is a portion for attaching the engaging movable body 501 to the case attachment member 200 in a slidable state. In this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 25, the base portion 501b is composed of a _{narrow portion 501b 1} and a wide portion 501b _2. As shown in FIG. 24, the narrow portion 501b ₁ is a portion to be inserted into the movable body holding portion 203 (movable body holding slit) provided in the case mounting member 200 in a slit shape. The narrow portion 501b ₁ is inserted from the end of the movable body holding slit 203. When the narrow portion 501b ₁ is inserted into the movable body holding slit 203, as shown in FIG. 24B, the engaged portion 501a is located on the front side of the case mounting member 200, and the wide portion 501b ₂ is the case mounting member. It will be located on the rear side of 200. Therefore, the engaged movable body 501 attached to the case mounting member 200 can slide in the direction along the movable body holding slit 203 (up and down direction in this embodiment), but can be moved to the front side of the case mounting member 200. It cannot be pulled out to the rear side.

As shown in FIG. 25, a positioning engaging portion 501b ₃ is provided on _{the wide portion 501b 2} located on the rear side of the case mounting member 200 in the base portion 501b. On the other hand, on both sides of the movable body holding slit 203 on the rear surface side of the case mounting member 200, the positioning engaged portion 204 and the positioning engaged portion 205 are provided at predetermined intervals. .. When the engaged movable body 501 is slid with respect to the movable body holding slit 203 and the positioning engaging portion 501b _{3 of the} engaged movable body 501 is engaged with the positioning engaged portion 204, the engaged movable body 501 is engaged. When the body 501 is positioned at the B position capable of functioning as the B connecting portion and the positioning engaging portion 501b _{3 of the} engaged movable body 501 is engaged with the positioning engaged portion 205, the engaged movable body 501 Is positioned at the C position, which can function as a C connecting portion.

In this way, the number of parts is reduced by moving one engaged movable body 501 so that the engaged movable body 501 functions as both a B connecting portion and a C connecting portion. Becomes possible. Further, the structure for mounting the movable body 501 to be engaged to the case mounting member 200 in a movable state is usually complicated, and the number of parts tends to increase. By attaching to the movable body holding slit 203, the above structure can be realized with a smaller number of parts.

The case other side fixing member 130 is provided with not only the engaging portion 401 for the B connecting portion and the engaged portion 402 for the C connecting portion, but also the engaging portion for the D connecting portion and the engaged portion for the E connecting portion. In this case, at a location along the movable body holding slit 203, a positioning engaged portion that can be positioned when the engaged movable body 501 reaches the D position capable of functioning as a D connecting portion, or an engaged portion for engaging. It is also preferable to provide a positioning engaged portion that can be positioned when the movable body 501 reaches the E position that can function as the E connecting portion. This makes it possible to reduce the number of parts for the D connecting portion and the E connecting portion.
