Description

  The present invention relates to a control device for a gaming machine in which a control board of a gaming machine is housed inside a container, and in particular, while ensuring heat dissipation inside the container, The present invention relates to a technique that can reliably prevent an unauthorized operation on the control board.

  Conventionally, control relating to the appearance of balls in a gaming machine such as a ball ball game machine or a slot machine is performed by a control board called a main control board. In addition, in recent gaming machines, in addition to the main control board, there may be provided a control board called a sub-control board that substantially performs control related to the outgoing ball.

  And in such a gaming machine, it differs from the original game by falsifying the program, giving an illegal signal from the outside, etc. to the control program or input / output signal etc. of the main control board or sub control board An illegal act of playing an inappropriate game is a problem.

  That is, if the control board such as the main control board is exposed to the outside as it is, there is a risk that the electronic parts such as the control ROM may be replaced with a non-genuine one. In addition, various electronic components and connectors for electrically connecting the control board and external devices are connected to each other by the wiring pattern printed on the control board. It is also possible to short-circuit the wiring. Therefore, it is conceivable that an unauthorized operation is performed on the control board, and if such an action cannot be effectively prevented, a serious damage will be caused at an amusement store or the like.

  Therefore, the control board such as the main control board is accommodated inside the container made of transparent resin, and by taking measures for prohibiting unauthorized opening of the container, the container cannot be easily opened, A technique for preventing execution of an unauthorized operation on a control board is known.

FIG. 9 is a plan view showing the control device 30 of such a conventional gaming machine.
As shown in FIG. 9, the control device 30 accommodates a main control board 23 on which a plurality of connectors 40 and connectors 50 are mounted inside an outer cover 33 (accommodator).

  Here, one end side of the outer cover 33 is rotatably connected by a hinge 35, and the other end side is sealed by a lock member 39. Therefore, the control device 30 shown in FIG. 9 is prohibited from unauthorized opening of the outer cover 33, and as a result, unauthorized replacement of electronic components mounted on the main control board 23 can be prevented.

  However, if the main control board 23 is accommodated in the outer cover 33, then the heat generation countermeasure of the main control board 23 becomes a problem. That is, when the main control board 23 is covered by the outer cover 33, heat generated by various electronic components mounted on the main control board 23 is trapped inside the outer cover 33, leading to an increase in the temperature of the electronic components. As a result, a control malfunction occurs. Therefore, a means for releasing the heat generated from the main control board 23 to the outside of the outer cover 33 is required.

Therefore, a technique for forming a large number of heat radiation holes in the outer cover 33 (container) is known. That is, a container using this technology has a structure that allows various control boards such as the main control board 23 to be seen through from the outside, and a plurality of heat dissipation holes are provided in the container (for example, patents). Reference 1).
Japanese Patent No. 2905773

According to the technique described in Patent Literature 1 above, the internal control board can be easily seen through from the outside of the container, so that the electronic component mounted on the control board is illegally replaced or the like. Even so, the fact can be easily discovered.
In addition, since a large number of heat radiation holes are provided in the container, the heat generated by the control board inside the container can be released to the outside of the container.

  However, in the technique described in Patent Document 1 described above, by accommodating the control board inside the container, it is possible to prevent illegal acts such as tampering with a program by directly replacing electronic components of the control board. It is not possible to prevent illegal acts such as applying an illegal signal from the outside to the wiring pattern printed on the control board.

  In other words, it is possible to connect unauthorized parts, short-circuit the wiring, etc. to the printed wiring pattern of the control board housed inside the housing body through the heat radiating holes provided in the housing body. The risk of running is left behind.

  With respect to this point, the above-mentioned Patent Document 1 discloses a technique for preventing a tool for unauthorized modification from being inserted from the outside of the container by making the heat dissipation holes round holes, square holes or the like of about 2 mm or less. Has been. However, even if a tool or the like cannot be inserted, a wire or the like can be inserted. For this reason, it becomes possible to connect a wire or the like to the printed wiring pattern to cause an illegal game.

  Thus, even if the control board is accommodated inside the container, the portion of the heat radiation hole provided in the container remains as a problem. On the other hand, if the heat radiating hole is not provided, the temperature rise inside the container becomes a problem. Therefore, there is a strong demand for a technique that can reliably prevent an unauthorized operation from being performed on the internal control board from the outside of the container while taking measures against heat generation of the control board.

  Therefore, the problem to be solved by the present invention is to ensure heat dissipation inside the container and to reliably prevent an unauthorized operation from being performed on the internal control board from the outside of the container. An object of the present invention is to provide a control device for a gaming machine.

The present invention solves the above-described problems by the following means.
The invention according to claim 1 is a game comprising a control board for controlling a gaming machine, and a housing body in which the control board is housed and a heat radiating hole for releasing heat generated from the control board to the outside is formed. A control device for a machine, wherein the housing body includes an inner housing body on the control board side and an outer housing body that covers the inner housing body, and the control board is housed inside the inner housing body, In a state where the inner container is covered with the outer container, the heat radiation holes formed in the inner container and the heat radiation holes formed in the outer container are alternately shifted in the vertical direction. And

  According to a second aspect of the present invention, in the control device for a gaming machine according to the first aspect, in the state where the control board is accommodated in the inner container and the inner container is covered with the outer container, The heat radiation hole formed in the inner container and the heat radiation hole formed in the outer container are positioned so as not to overlap each other in the vertical direction.

  According to a third aspect of the present invention, in the game machine control device according to the first or second aspect, the control board is accommodated in the inner container, and the inner container is covered with the outer container. In a state, the heat radiation holes formed in the inner housing body and the heat radiation holes formed in the outer housing body are alternately arranged in a plane in a plane.

  According to a fourth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine control device according to the first or second aspect, the control board is accommodated in the inner container, and the inner container is covered with the outer container. In a state, the heat radiation holes formed in the inner housing body and the heat radiation holes formed in the outer housing body are arranged in a staggered manner in a plane.

  According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the game machine control device according to any one of the first to fourth aspects, the inner container and the outer container are made of a transparent resin. .

  A sixth aspect of the present invention is the game machine control device according to any one of the first to fifth aspects, further comprising a support body on which the control board is placed, wherein the outer housing body is the support body. It is connected to the one end side of the body so that rotation is possible.

  According to a seventh aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine control device according to any one of the first to sixth aspects, the gaming machine is a ball game machine having a symbol variation display device, and the control The substrate controls the variation of the symbol displayed on the symbol variation display device.

  The invention of claim 8 is the game machine control device according to any one of claims 1 to 6, wherein the game machine is a slot machine having a reel displaying a symbol, and the control board Controls the rotation of the reel.

The holes are staggered in the vertical direction. That is, the control board is accommodated in the inner container. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an unauthorized operation such as replacing an electronic component such as a control ROM mounted on the control board with something other than a regular product.

  In addition, a heat radiating hole is formed in the inner container that accommodates the control board, and a heat radiating hole is also formed in the outer container that covers the inner container. Therefore, the heat generated by the control board inside the inner container can be released to the outside of the outer container.

  Furthermore, the heat radiation holes formed in the inner housing body and the heat radiation holes formed in the outer housing body are alternately shifted in the vertical direction. For this reason, even if a wire or the like is inserted from the heat radiating hole of the outer container, the wire or the like cannot pass through the heat radiating hole of the inner container and cannot reach the control board inside the inner container. As a result, unauthorized connection of components to the control board inside the inner container is prevented.

  Here, the degree of deviation between the heat radiation hole of the inner container and the heat radiation hole of the outer container may partially overlap as long as the wire or the like does not pass through. However, if these two heat release holes are positioned so as not to overlap each other in the vertical direction, it is possible to more reliably prevent the wire and the like from passing through.

  In addition, for example, the heat dissipation holes of the inner container and the heat dissipation holes of the outer container can be displaced by arranging the heat dissipating holes in a row alternately in the plane, It is conceivable that the holes are arranged in a zigzag shape on a plane.

  Furthermore, if the inner container and the outer container are formed of a transparent resin, it is possible to easily find unauthorized replacement of electronic components mounted on the control board inside the inner container. That is, since the control board inside the inner container can be easily seen through from the outside of the outer container without opening the inner container and the outer container, the electronic component mounted on the control board is a genuine product. Whether it is or not is obvious.

  Note that the gaming machine using such a control device may be a ball game machine having a symbol variation display device or a slot machine having a reel displaying symbols, and in the case of a ball game machine The control board controls the fluctuation of the symbol displayed on the symbol fluctuation display device, and the control board in the case of the slot machine controls the rotation of the reel. Here, it is natural that the control board includes both the main control board and the sub control board, whether it is a ball game machine or a slot machine.

  According to the control device for a gaming machine of the present invention, in a state where the control board is housed in the inner housing body and the inner housing body is covered with the outer housing body, the heat dissipation holes and the outer housing body formed in the inner housing body. Therefore, it is difficult to connect unauthorized components to the control board inside the inner housing from the outside of the outer housing. Therefore, the control device for a gaming machine of the present invention can reliably prevent an unauthorized operation on the control board inside the container.

  Further, the heat generated by the control board accommodated in the inner container can be released to the outside of the outer container by the heat radiating hole of the inner container and the heat radiating hole of the outer container. The temperature rise of the mounted electronic component can be suppressed. As a result, it is possible to prevent a malfunction of the control.
