Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a game machine preventing the illegal action of changing game contents by surely sealing a board box for the game machine and immediately detecting the illegal action in the case that such an illegal action is performed. SOLUTION: When sealing members 20 and 30 are matched and a sealing metal fitting 11 is pushed into insertion holes 30c and 20a, a locking pawl 11c is locked to a locking surface 20b and a head part 11b is engaged with an engaging hole 30a. As a result, a box main body 41 and a box lid body 42 are unopenably connected. In this case, the locking surface 20b is formed so as to be arranged on the side of the box main body 41 or on the side of the box lid body 42 (the right side of the figure 5) to the sealing member 11. Thus, even in the case that a through-hole is bored by a drill or the like to the skirt part 30f of the sealing member 30 and the side wall 20d of the sealing member 20, since the locking pawl 11c can not be pressed to the side of a plate part 11a by a wire-like body such as a piano wire inserted from the through-hole, the sealing metal fitting 11 is prevented from being detected. Thus, the illegal action of executing illegal work to a control circuit board is prevented.

0a is recessed. An insertion hole 30c is formed at a lower end (lower side in FIG. 3) of the engagement hole 30a, and a first engagement surface 30b1 and a second engagement hole 30c are formed at both ends of the insertion hole 30c.
The engagement surfaces 30b2 are provided side by side. When the plate portion 11a of the sealing fitting 11 is inserted into the insertion hole 30c, the first engaging portion 11b1 formed on the head 11b of the sealing fitting 11,
Since the second engagement portion 11b2 is engaged with the first engagement surface 30b1 and the second engagement surface 30b2, the head 11b of the sealing fitting 11 cannot pass through the insertion hole 30c. Therefore, the head 11b of the sealing fitting 11 is
a.

The insertion hole 30c is provided at the lower end of the engagement hole 30a in parallel with the first engagement surface 30b1 and the second engagement surface 30b2, and forms a pair of first side walls forming two side walls of the engagement hole 30a. Each of the vertical wall 30a1 and the second vertical wall 30a2 has a predetermined distance (L
1, L2). The insertion hole 30 c is a through-hole having a horizontally long cross-sectional view into which the plate portion 11 a of the sealing metal 11 can be inserted, and the insertion hole 20 a of the sealing member 20.
Has been communicated with. As shown in FIG. 4, the cross-sectional area of the opening of the insertion hole 30c is smaller than the cross-sectional area of the opening of the insertion hole 20a of the sealing member 20. Therefore, the flat locking surface 30d is formed on the side (right side in FIG. 4) of the insertion hole 30c, and the locking claw 11c of the sealing metal 11 can be locked by the locking surface, and the sealing metal 11 can be locked. Can be non-removably held by the holding portion H (see FIG. 4).

The skirt portion 30f is disposed below the sealing member 30, and is formed in a substantially rectangular shape when viewed from the front. The front of the skirt portion 30f (the left front side in FIG. 3) and the longitudinal direction of the cross section of the above-described insertion hole 30c are defined by the box lid 42.
Are arranged so as to be substantially parallel to the side wall. Therefore,
The sealing member 30 can accommodate the flat sealing metal 11 in parallel with the side wall of the box lid 42.
It is possible to reduce the dimension in which 0 and 30 protrude from the box body 41 and the box lid 42. Therefore, the size of the board box 40 can be reduced, and the space for mounting other components can be prevented from being reduced.

When the sealing member 20 and the sealing member 30 are matched, a joint (opposing surface) of the sealing members 20 and 30
And the outer periphery of the sealing member 20

Therefore, it is possible to prevent a thin plate-shaped tool or the like from being inserted into the joint portion between the sealing members 20 and 30, and to prevent the joint portion from being pryed open. Therefore, the sealing fitting 11 for sealing the board box 40 is not removed by the prying, and it is possible to prevent an improper operation of improperly processing the control circuit board.

The connecting member 31 is for connecting the sealing member 30 and the box lid 42, respectively. As shown in FIG. 3, the connecting member 31 has one end disposed on one side surface of the sealing member 30 and the other end disposed on the side wall of the box lid 42, and these are integrally formed. ing. Therefore, the sealing member 30 is disposed apart from the box lid 42 by the length of the connecting member 31, and a predetermined space is formed between the sealing member 30 and the side wall of the box lid 42.

Here, as shown in FIG. 5, the control circuit board is used in a state where it is sealed in the board box 40. Thereafter, the control circuit board is improperly acted (for example, (Eg, replacement with a new ROM), it is necessary to open the board box 40 in order to inspect the control circuit board (the ROM).
Therefore, the connecting member 3 is required to open the substrate box 40.
1 is cut by a tool such as a nipper, as described above, a predetermined gap is formed between the sealing member 30 and the side wall of the box lid 42, and a gap for the cutting edge of the tool such as a nipper to enter. Are formed. Therefore, the connecting member 3
1 can be easily cut using a tool such as a nipper. Further, the lower end surface of the connecting member 31 (the lower side in FIG. 3) and the upper end surface of the sealing member 20 (the upper side in FIG. 3).
Is provided with a gap T (see FIGS. 4 and 5). Therefore, the cutting edge of a tool such as a nipper can be inserted into the gap T, so that the connecting member 31 can be easily cut without being disturbed by the upper end surface of the sealing member 20, and the workability of the cutting operation can be improved. Can be improved.

The substrate box 40 can be opened by cutting the connecting member 31. In particular, since the substrate box 40 can be opened without breaking the substrate box body 41 and the substrate box lid 42. By using the board box body 41 and the board box lid 42, the control circuit board which has been inspected can be covered and sealed again. Therefore, since the substrate box 40 can be reused, the resources can be effectively used.

On the upper surface (upper side in FIG. 3) of the connecting member 31, a number display K is provided. For example, in the case of four connecting members 31 provided on the side wall 42a of the box lid 42 (see FIG. 2), the number display K from "1" to "4"
Are displayed respectively. Each number display K indicates the order in which the pair of sealing members 20, 30 are sealed. Accordingly, each sealing member 20 and each sealing member 30 opposed thereto are sealed using the sealing metal fittings 11 in the order of the respective number indications K of “1” to “4”, and “1” to “4”.
, The connecting member can be cut using a tool such as a nipper. The number K is formed by using a mold at the same time as the molding of the connecting member 31.
The connecting member 31 is provided so as to protrude from the outer surface thereof. Therefore, when the connecting member 31 is cut, the number display K provided on the outer surface thereof is damaged. When a person who has committed wrongdoing by cutting the connecting member 31 rejoins the cut portion with an adhesive or the like to conceal the wrongdoing, the damaged number display K is displayed outside the connecting member 31. It is not easy to restore to a state of being protruded on the surface and to hide traces of cutting. Therefore, it is not possible to reliably conceal the wrongdoing, so that the wrongdoing can be detected at an early stage and the wrongdoing can be suppressed.

Next, each member constituting the fitting member 2 will be described with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7

0d is erected.

The outer surface of the fitting projection 60 is formed so as to be in contact with the inner surface of the fitting recess 53 when fitted to a fitting recess 53 of the case 50 described later. That is, the outer surfaces of the bottom wall 60a and the front wall 60b are in contact with the inner surfaces of the bottom wall 50a and the front wall 50b of the case 50 (see FIG. 8), and the outer surfaces of the pair of side walls 60c and 60d are the side surfaces of the case 50. The wall 50 d and the inner surface of the partition plate 51 are formed so as to be in contact with each other. Therefore, when the box lid 42 is covered on the box body 41, the fitting protrusion is formed by applying an adhesive between the contact surfaces between the outer surface of the fitting protrusion 60 and the inner surface of the fitting recess 53. The portion 60 and the fitting recess 53 can be bonded. Accordingly, the case body 41 and the case lid 42 can be sealed so as not to be opened by such adhesion.

As described above, the fitting protrusion 60 is formed on the bottom surface 60.
a as well as the front wall 60b and the side walls 60c, 60d are formed so as to be able to contact the inner surface of the fitting recess 53.
A sufficient bonding area can be secured, and the fitting member 2 can be bonded securely. The fitting projection 6
The contact surfaces between the outer surface side of the zero and the inner surface side of the fitting concave portion 53 do not need to be in close contact with each other, and may have a predetermined gap. In this case, it is desirable to use a curable adhesive that develops adhesive properties by curing, and fill the gap between the contact surfaces with the adhesive.

The connecting member 61 is for connecting the fitting projection 60 and the box lid 42, and is formed in a thin plate shape having a rectangular shape in cross section. This connecting member 6
6, one end is disposed on the bottom wall 60a and the front wall 60b of the fitting projection 60, and the other end is disposed on the side wall of the box lid 42, as shown in FIG. It is formed integrally. Therefore, the fitting convex portion 60 is disposed apart from the box lid 42 by the length of the connecting member 61, and a predetermined interval is formed.

Here, the control circuit board is connected to the board box 40.
If the control circuit board is suspected of having been tampered with (for example, replaced with an improper ROM, etc.) after being sealed in the inside of the control circuit board, the control circuit board (the ROM thereof) is inspected. Box 40 needs to be opened. In this case, in order to open the substrate box 40, as described above, the connecting member 31 of the sealing member 30 is cut (see FIG. 5), and the connecting member 61 of the fitting protrusion 60 is cut with a tool such as a nipper. Disconnect. Fitting convex part 60 and box lid 4
An interval is formed between the second side wall and the second side wall so that the cutting edge of a tool such as a nipper can enter. Therefore, when cutting the connecting member 61, it can be easily cut using a tool such as a nipper. Further, the lower end surface of the connecting member 61 (FIG. 8)
A groove 50e formed in the bottom wall 50a is provided between the bottom wall 50a of the case 50 and an upper end surface of the bottom wall 50a of the case 50 (upper side in FIG. 8).
Thus, a gap T is provided (see FIG. 8). Therefore,
Since the cutting edge of a tool such as a nipper can be inserted into the gap T, the connecting member 61 can be easily cut without being disturbed by the upper end surface of the bottom wall 50a, and the workability of the cutting operation is improved. be able to.

The board box 40 can be opened by cutting the connecting member 61. In particular, the board box 40 can be opened without breaking the board box main body 41 and the board box lid 42. By using the board box body 41 and the board box lid 42, the control circuit board which has been inspected can be covered and sealed again. Therefore, since the substrate box 40 can be reused, the resources can be effectively used.

The case 50 is disposed on the side wall of the box body 41, and when the box cover 42 is covered on the box body 41, the fitting recess 60 into which the fitting projection 60 is fitted.
3 is provided. This case 50 is a box body 41
Bottom wall 50 extending substantially horizontally outward from the side wall
a and a front wall 5 erected from the edge of the bottom wall 50a
0b and a pair of side walls 50c, 50d.
These members 50a to 50d are formed integrally with the box main body 41 using a synthetic resin material or the like. Are formed in an open hollow box shape.

In the internal space formed by the case 50, a partition plate 51 and a barrier plate 52 are erected on a bottom wall 50a. The partition plate 51 partitions the internal space of the case 50 and forms a fitting concave portion 53 into which the fitting convex portion 60 is fitted. Are opposed to each other. The distance between the opposing surfaces of the side wall 50d and the partition plate 51 is determined by the width dimension of the fitting projection 60 (the pair of side walls 60c, 60d).
The distance between the non-facing surfaces of the
A fitting concave portion 53 into which the fitting convex portion 60 can be fitted is formed between the opposing surfaces of the partition plate 51 and the partition plate 51. When the fitting convex portion 60 is fitted into the fitting concave portion 53, the inner surface side of the fitting concave portion 53 and the outer surface side of the fitting convex portion 60 come into contact with each other as described above. The fitting member 2 is formed by bonding
And the box body 41 and the box lid 42 can be sealed.

In another internal space (left side in FIG. 6) of the case 50 partitioned by the partition plate 51, a barrier plate 52 is provided upright. When the box lid 42 is covered on the box body 41, the barrier plate 52 is
And is provided upright between the opposing surfaces of the partition plate 51 and the side wall 50b of the case 50. For example, when the box lid 42 (see FIG. 7) used for the model B is erroneously covered by the box body 41 (see FIG. 6) used for the model A,
The fitting projection 60 of the box lid 42 is locked by the barrier plate 52 provided on the case 50 of the box main body 41, so that the box lid 42 cannot be covered on the box main body 41. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of the pachinko machine, it is possible to prevent the operator from using the box body or the box cover of another model by mistake and assembling the board box by a wrong combination.

As shown in FIG. 8, the bottom wall 5 of the case 50
The groove 0e is formed to be bent in a stepwise manner, and a groove 50e is provided on the upper surface side of the bottom wall 50a by such bending. Therefore, the bottom wall 50a is formed by the groove 50e.
8 (upper side in FIG. 8) and a lower end surface of a connecting member 61 (lower side in FIG. 8) for connecting the fitting protrusion 60 to the box lid 42.
Is formed between them. Therefore, the cutting edge of a tool such as a nipper can be inserted into the gap T, so that the connecting member 61 can be easily cut without being disturbed by the upper end surface of the bottom wall 50a, and the workability of the cutting operation can be improved. Can be improved.

When the fitting convex portion 60 and the fitting concave portion 53 are bonded with an adhesive, if a large amount of adhesive is applied to the fitting concave portion 53, the extra adhesive is removed from the box body 41 and the box lid. There is a possibility that it may flow out to the joint portion with the body 42 (between the facing surface of the insertion recess 44 of the box lid 42 and the guide plate 43 of the box body 41), in which case the box body 41 and the box The lid 42 is adhered and fixed by the leaked adhesive, and the substrate box 40
Cannot be opened unless the box body 41 and the box lid 42 are destroyed. Therefore, the board box 40 cannot be reused. However, as described above, the groove 50e is provided on the upper surface side of the bottom wall 50a. It is provided on the partial side (the right side in FIG. 8). Therefore,
The adhesive is stored in the groove 50e without flowing out to the joint portion between the box main body 41 and the box lid 42, so that the joint portion between the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 is bonded and fixed by the adhesive. It can be prevented from being done. Therefore, the substrate box 40 opened by cutting the connecting member 61 of the fitting protrusion 60 is opened.
The control circuit board can be stored and sealed again by utilizing the same.

The case 50 is formed so as to protrude outward from the side wall of the box body 41 and to open the surface (the upper side in FIG. 6) on which the box cover 42 is covered. The fitting protrusion 60 is provided so as to protrude from the side wall of the box lid 42 corresponding to the case 50. That is, the fitting member 2 is disposed at a position where the box convex body 60 fitted to the case 50 is visible when the box lid body 42 is covered by the box body 41 and the pachinko machine is mounted. (See FIG. 1). Therefore, from the pachinko machine to the board box 4
Since the fitting member 2 can be visually recognized without removing the connection member 0, it is possible to easily confirm whether the connection member 61 has no trace of cutting or whether a box lid 42 of a different model is used.

Here, the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 are molded into a desired shape using a molding die, and the fitting member 2 connects the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 to each other. The mold is formed into a desired shape by a nesting die partially fitted into a molding die to be molded. Therefore, the fitting protrusion 60 of the fitting member 2 and the connecting member 61
By changing the nesting die fitted in the molding die for molding the box lid 42, the arrangement position on the box lid 42 can be changed. That is, the box lid 4
The fitting projection 60 and the connecting member 61 are set at predetermined positions of the box lid 42 (positions corresponding to the model A) by fitting one nested die into a molding die for molding 2 and molding.
(See FIG. 6), and instead of one nesting mold, another nesting mold is fitted into a molding die and molded to form a position different from the case where one nesting mold is used (see FIG. 6). The fitting protrusion 60 and the connecting member 61 can be disposed on the box lid 42 at a position corresponding to the model B) (see FIG. 7).

On the other hand, the case 50 of the fitting member 2 is provided with a fitting recess 53 provided in the internal space of the case 50 by changing a nesting mold which is fitted into a forming die for forming the box body 41. The setting position is changed. That is, by inserting one nesting die into a molding die for molding the box body 41 and molding the same, the barrier plate 52 becomes a partition plate 51.
A fitting recess 53 is formed in a space (left side in FIG. 6) between the facing surfaces of the model A and the side wall 50c (see FIG. 6). Then, instead of one nesting die, another nesting die is fitted into the molding die, and the molding is performed, whereby the barrier plate 52 is separated from the partition plate 51 and the side wall 50d.
Is formed in the space (the right side in FIG. 7) between the surfaces facing each other.
The fitting concave portion 53 is formed at a position corresponding to the fitting convex portion 60 (see FIG. 7). As described above, the arrangement positions of the fitting protrusion 60 and the fitting recess 53 on the box body 41 and the box cover 42 can be changed by using the telescopic type. Even if it is formed in a different shape, it is not necessary to prepare molding dies for molding the box main body 41 and the box lid body 42 which are the skeletons of the substrate boxes 40 and 70 by the type of the pachinko machine. It is possible to reduce the cost and the manufacturing cost of a molding die and the like.

As described above, the substrate box 40 of this embodiment is
Is used for a plurality of models, but the box body 41 and the box lid 42 are common to all models. That is, the box body 41 and the box lid 42 have the same shape in all models. Similarly, the disposing position where the sealing member 1 is disposed on the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 is a common position for all the models. On the other hand, the positions where the fitting concave portion 53 and the fitting convex portion 60 are provided on the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 are determined by using the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 (that is, the board box 40). The position is different depending on the model to be used. That is,
When there are n types of pachinko machines, the fitting concave portion 53 and the fitting convex portion 60 are arranged at different positions in the box main body 41 and the box lid 42, so that the n types of box main bodies 41 and the box lids are provided. A body 42 is formed. Therefore, for example, for the box body 41 or the box lid 42 used for the model A (see FIG. 6), the fitting member 2
Cover 4 used for model B with different arrangement positions
The control circuit board cannot be encapsulated using the box body 2 or the box body 41. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a fraudulent act of changing the control circuit board using the box body 41 or the box lid 42 diverted from different models. In addition, since the fitting member 2 can be formed by a telescopic mold, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

Further, the fitting concave portion 53 and the fitting convex portion 60
As described above, the arrangement positions of the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 are changed according to the type of the pachinko machine. However, such fitting concave portions 53 and fitting convex portions 60 (hereinafter, in this paragraph, Apart from the "first fitting member", fitting recesses and fitting projections (hereinafter abbreviated as "second fitting members" in this paragraph) provided at common positions in all models. .) May be provided separately. In this case, since the disposition position of the second fitting member is common to each model, the second fitting member can be formed by a molding die for forming the box body 41 or the box lid 42. it can. Therefore, it is not necessary to separately prepare a telescopic mold for molding the second fitting member, so that the manufacturing cost can be reduced. Also, by providing the second fitting member, the number of fitting members that can be bonded increases, so that the board box 40
Can be made more secure and fraud can be suppressed. In this case, for example, in the first bonding (first time), only the first fitting member is bonded, and after the board box 40 is once opened by inspection of the control circuit board or the like,
The second fitting member not used in the first bonding (first time) may be bonded and fixed (second time) to seal the substrate box 40. With such a configuration, the sealing and opening of the substrate box 40 using the adhesive can be performed a plurality of times (at least twice).

The fitting member 2 is formed on one side wall of the box main body 41 and the box lid 42 (in this embodiment, the side wall 4).
1c and 42c (see FIG. 2)). here,
The fitting member 2 is connected to two or more side walls, for example, two orthogonal side walls (for example, side walls 41a, 42a and side walls 41c, 42).
c (see FIG. 2)), the nest type for forming the fitting member 2 becomes large, or
Since a plurality of nesting types are required, there is a problem that the manufacturing cost increases. However, by arranging the fitting member 2 only on one side wall as in the present embodiment, the fitting member 2 can be molded with only one nest type, and the nest type can be reduced in size. As a result, the manufacturing cost can be reduced.

The fitting concave portion 53 and the fitting convex portion 60 are
As described above, the disposition position is changed according to the type of the pachinko machine.
Does not change depending on the type of gaming machine. This is because the position of the fitting recess 53 is changed by changing the standing position of the partition plate 51 and the barrier plate 52 in the case 50, and the outer shape of the case 50 is not changed. (See FIG. 6). Generally, electric connectors, other board boxes, and the like are arranged around the mounting portion of the board box 40 in a complicated manner, so that the mounting space is small. However, the above-mentioned board box 40 can be provided without changing the outer shape thereof without fitting recess 53 and fitting protrusion 6.
0 can be changed in arrangement position according to the model of the pachinko machine, so that it is not necessary to design the shape, arrangement position and the like of each component arranged around the board box 40 for each model. The cost can be reduced.

However, the board box 40 has a fitting recess 53
By changing the arrangement position of the fitting projection 60, the outer shape may be changed according to the model of the gaming machine. That is, the arrangement position of the case 50 itself is
It is changed on 1. In this case, a fitting portion corresponding to the outer shape of the board box 40 may be provided on the back side of the pachinko machine so that the board box 40 of another model (that is, a different outer shape) cannot be attached.

Next, a method for sealing the control circuit board by the board box 40 will be described. First, after arranging and fixing the control circuit board in the box main body 41, the sealing members 20 and 30 of the sealing tool 1 are opposed to each other, and each of the fitting projections 60 and the fitting recesses 53 of the fitting member 2 The box body 41 is covered with the box cover 42 so that the box body 42 faces the box body 41. By this covering, the fitting groove 20f of each sealing member 20 is formed.
The fitting protrusion 30e of the sealing member 30 is fitted to the fitting member 53, and the fitting protrusion 60 is fitted to the fitting recess 53. Fitting protrusion 60
An adhesive may be applied in advance to a surface facing the outer surface of the box and the inner surface of the fitting recess 53.
After covering the box lid body 42 on the first side, an adhesive may be filled between the facing surfaces. Then, the sealing fittings 11 are respectively inserted into the engaging holes 30a and the insertion holes 30c of each of the twelve sealing members 30, and the heads 11b thereof are pressed down to push the sealing fittings 11 into the sealing members 30.

When the sealing metal 11 is pushed in, the locking claw 11c of the sealing metal 11 is inserted into the plate 11a by the insertion hole 30c.
It is pressed to the side and gradually elastically deforms. Further, the sealing fitting 11
Is continued to be inserted, the locking claw 11c is elastically restored, and the locking claw 11c is locked by the locking surface 30d and held by the holding portion H. Therefore, each sealing metal 11 can be held in the sealing member 31 in a state where it cannot be pulled out, and the sealing metal 11 can be prevented from being lost (see FIG. 4).

Each sealing member 30 has twelve sealing metal fittings 1 in each sealing member 30.
After holding 1, of the sealing member 30 of the sealing device 1,
The head 11b of the sealing fitting 11 inserted into the one fixed to the box lid 42 by the connecting member 31 with the number indication K of "1" is pressed down, and the sealing fitting 11 is further pushed in. When the sealing fitting 11 is pushed in, the locking claw 11c of the sealing fitting 11 is gradually elastically deformed toward the plate portion 11a through the tapered surface of the insertion hole 20a. Seal fitting 11
Continue to be inserted, the locking claw 11c is elastically restored,
The locking claw 11c is locked to the locking surface 20b of the sealing member 20, and the sealing metal 11 is held in the sealing member 20 in a state where it cannot be removed. On the other hand, the head 11b of the sealing fitting 11
Is held in the engagement hole 30a of the sealing member 30.

As a result, the sealing fitting 11 is
The first engaging portion 11b1 and the second engaging portion 11b2 of the sealing fitting 11 are not removed from the inside.
0 (see FIG. 5), and at the same time, the outer surface side of the fitting protrusion 60 and the inner surface side of the fitting recess 53 are adhered to each other. Since the member 2 is inseparably connected (see FIG. 8), the substrate box 4
The box body 41 and the box lid 42 are connected so as not to be opened, so that the board box 40 can be securely sealed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the illegal operation of changing the game contents of the pachinko machine 55 by illegally removing the control ROM or the like on the control circuit board encapsulated in the board box 40. Further, the substrate box 40 can be opened by breaking or cutting the sealing members 20 and 30 or the fitting member 2, but in this case, traces of opening the substrate box 40 can be reliably left. .

According to the gaming machine of the present invention, when the first sealing member and the second sealing member are connected by the connecting sealing member, the locking portion of the connecting sealing member has a box base or a box cover formed of a circuit. The first sealing member is locked to a stopper portion of the first sealing member in a state facing the side for storing the substrate. Therefore, in order to release the locking, a through hole is drilled in the first sealing member by a drill or the like, and even if a piano wire is inserted through the through hole, the locking of the connecting sealing member by the piano wire or the like is performed. The portion cannot be lowered, and the release of the locking between the stopper member and the locking portion is prevented. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the connection sealing member from being removed, and it is possible to prevent an unauthorized act of improperly processing the control circuit board.
