An electrical housing connector arranged in the circuit housing so as to be connectable from the outside of the housing, a mounting base attached to the circuit housing installation portion of the gaming machine, a base engaging portion provided in the mounting base, An electrical base connector provided on the mounting base for transferring electrical energy to and from the circuit board, a release operation body rotatably provided on the mounting base, and the release operation body rotating together with the release operation body The circuit board is moved in parallel to the mounting base while the housing engaging part and the base engaging part are engaged with each other, so that the housing connector and the base connector are provided. Are connected to each other, and the release , Release pawl, characterized in that pushes the circuit housing in the direction to release the connection between the housing connector and the base connector. Provided with an elastic piece that can be deformed in a direction in which the mounting base approaches the circuit housing installation part and in a direction away from the circuit housing installation part, and the elastic piece has a stopper projecting in a direction away from the circuit housing installation part, As the housing engaging portion of the circuit housing is inserted into the base engaging portion from the back side of the mounting base, the stopper is pushed in the direction of the circuit housing installing portion by the circuit housing, and the elastic piece is moved to the circuit housing. The housing connector and the base connector are connected to each other while the housing engaging part and the base engaging part are engaged with each other as the circuit case is moved in parallel with the mounting base while being bent in the direction of the installation part. When the stopper is released from the direction of the circuit housing installation portion, the elastic piece is restored in a direction away from the circuit housing installation portion by its own elasticity, and the stopper is connected to the housing connector of the circuit housing. Engage with the surface opposite to the provided side to connect the housing connector and base of the circuit housing Also characterized in that blocked the movement in the direction to be released connection with the connector. The distance from the state in which the housing connector and the base connector are connected to each other until the circuit housing is moved parallel to the mounting base and the connection between the housing connector and the base connector is released is the distance between the housing connector and the base connector. It is also characterized in that it is shorter than the distance from when the circuit housing is moved in parallel to the mounting base from the mutually connected state until the engagement between the housing engaging portion and the base engaging portion is released.

  According to the circuit housing attachment device for a gaming machine according to the present invention, after the circuit housing moves in parallel with the attachment base by the pressing by the release claw and the engagement between the housing engaging portion and the base engaging portion.

In this case, bending of the electrical connection terminals of the base connector and the housing connector can be prevented, and damage to the base connector and the housing connector can be prevented. Due to the engagement between the housing engaging portion and the base engaging portion and the engagement between the stopper and the circuit housing, it is possible to prevent the circuit housing from being detached from the mounting base. In addition, movement in the direction away from the circuit housing installation part and movement in the direction in which the connection between the housing connector and the base connector is released is prevented, which is accompanied by vibration during operation of the gaming machine. The shaking of the circuit housing can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to prevent a phenomenon in which the electrical connection terminals of the base connector and the housing connector are repeatedly separated from each other or come into contact with each other, and it is possible to prevent generation of electrical noise associated with the phenomenon. The distance from the state in which the housing connector and the base connector are connected to each other until the circuit housing is moved in parallel to the mounting base and the connection between the housing connector and the base connector is released is the distance between the housing connector and the base connector. Since the circuit housing is moved in parallel with respect to the mounting base from the mutually connected state, the distance between the engagement of the housing engaging portion and the base engaging portion is made shorter than the distance between the housing connector and the base connector. If the circuit housing is moved away from the circuit housing installation portion before the connection to the circuit housing is released, the circuit housing is blocked by the engagement between the housing engaging portion and the base engaging portion and cannot be moved. Therefore, it is possible to prevent an external force from bending the electrical connection from being applied to the electrical connection terminals connected to each other before the connection between the housing connector and the base connector is released. Therefore, when the connection between the housing connector and the base connector is released, the electric connection terminal can be prevented from being bent, and the housing connector and the base connector can be prevented from being damaged.

  With reference to FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 3, the outline | summary of the circuit housing | casing attachment apparatus 1 by the best form is demonstrated. In addition, in FIG. 1 thru | or FIG. 3, the shape of the circuit housing | casing attachment apparatus 1 shown in FIG. 5 thru | or FIG. 11 is simplified and shown. With reference to FIG. 1, the structure of the circuit housing mounting apparatus 1 of a pachinko machine as a gaming machine will be described. The circuit housing attachment device 1 includes a circuit housing 63A of a power supply device 63 as a circuit housing, a housing engaging portion 134, a power connection connector 133 as a housing connector, a mounting base 70, a base engaging portion 92, and a base connector. Power supply board connection connector 87, release operation body 95, and release claw 103. In the circuit housing 63A, the circuit board 132 on which the electrical component 131 is mounted is housed in a fixed state by a set screw 132a to form the power supply device 63. The housing engaging part 134 is formed on the outer surface of the circuit housing 63A. The electrical housing connector 133 is mounted on the circuit board 132 and disposed on the one surface 63B of the circuit housing 63A so as to be connectable from the outside of the circuit housing 63A. The mounting base 70 is attached to the back surface 55 of the front wall 23 in the movable frame 3 of the pachinko machine, for example, as a circuit housing installation part of the pachinko machine. The mounting base 70 includes an elastic piece 110 and a stopper 111. The elastic piece 110 can be deformed in a direction approaching the back surface 55 and a direction away from the back surface 55, and includes a stopper 111 protruding in a direction away from the back surface 55. The base engaging portion 92 is provided on the mounting base 70. The power supply board connection connector 87 is provided on the mounting base 70 in order to exchange electric energy with the circuit board 132. The release operation body 95 is rotatably provided on the mounting base 70. The release claw 103 is provided so as to rotate together with the release operation body 95.

  The case where the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 are connected to each other will be described with reference to FIG. (A) The housing engaging portion 134 of the circuit housing 63A is aligned with the position of the base engaging portion 92 of the mounting base 70 as shown in the figure, and the housing engaging portion 134 of the circuit housing 63A is placed as shown in FIG. The stopper 111 is pushed in the direction of the back surface 55 by the circuit casing 63 </ b> A as it is inserted into the base engaging portion 92 from the back side of the mounting base 70, and the elastic piece 110 is bent in the direction of the back surface 55. Then, as the circuit housing 63A is moved in parallel to the mounting base 70, the power supply connector 133 is engaged while the housing engaging portion 134 and the base engaging portion 92 are engaged with each other as shown in FIG. And the power supply board connector 87 are connected to each other and when the pushing of the stopper 111 in the direction of the back surface 55 is released, the elastic piece 110 is restored in a direction away from the back surface 55 by its own elasticity, and the stopper 111 Engages with a locking surface 63D located on the side opposite to the one surface 63B where the power supply connector 133 of the circuit housing 63A is provided. Thereby, the movement of the circuit housing 63A in the direction in which the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released is prevented.

  Therefore, it is possible to prevent the circuit housing 63A from being detached from the mounting base 70 by the cooperation between the housing engaging portion 134 and the base engaging portion 92 and the stopper 111 and the engaging surface 63D. Further, the movement of the circuit housing 63A in the direction away from the back surface 55 and the movement in the direction in which the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released are prevented, so that the pachinko machine is in operation. The vibration of the circuit housing 63A due to vibration can be reduced, and the male terminal 56 and the female terminal 57 as electrical connection terminals constituting the electrical connection between the power connection connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 are separated or contacted. Can be prevented, and the generation of electrical noise associated with the phenomenon can be prevented.

  With reference to FIG. 3, the case where the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released will be described. From the state where the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 are connected to each other, as shown in (a), the person is pushing the stopper 111 in the direction of the back surface 55 with a finger or a jig, as shown in (b). When the person rotates the release operation body 95 as described above, the release claw 103 pushes and moves the circuit housing 63A in the direction in which the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released. Thereby, the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released, and the circuit casing 63A pushes the back surface of the stopper 111 and pushes the stopper 111 in the direction of the back surface 55. Further, as shown in FIG. 5C, when the person rotates the release operation body 95, the release claw 103 releases the connection between the power connection connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 in the direction in which the housing engagement portion 134 is released. The circuit housing 63A is pushed and moved until the engagement between the base and the base engaging portion 92 is released. Then, the circuit housing 63 </ b> A is detached from the mounting base 70 by the disengagement of the housing engaging portion 134 and the base engaging portion 92. Further, the circuit housing 63A is moved in parallel with respect to the mounting base 70 from the state where the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 are connected to each other, and the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 are connected. The distance a until release of the circuit housing 63A is moved in parallel with respect to the mounting base 70 from the state where the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 are connected to each other. The distance until the engagement with the base engaging portion 92 is released is shorter than the distance b (see FIG. 3C).

  Therefore, when the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released, the circuit housing 63A is caused by the pressing by the release claw 103 and the engagement between the housing engaging portion 134 and the base engaging portion 92. For example, the mounting base is an external force that causes the male terminal 56 or the female terminal 57 to be bent at the male terminal 56 of the power connection connector 133 or the female terminal 57 of the power supply board connection connector 87 because it moves parallel to the mounting base 70. Since no external force in the direction orthogonal to 70 is applied, it is possible to prevent the male terminal 56 and the female terminal 57 from being bent when the connection between the power connection connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released. Damage to the connection connector 87 can be prevented.

  Since the distance a is shorter than the distance b, even if the circuit housing 63A is moved away from the back surface 55 before the connection between the power connector 133 and the power board connector 87 is released, the housing is engaged. Since the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released, the male terminal 56 and the female terminal 57 that are connected to each other are blocked. Since the external force in the direction orthogonal to the mounting base 70, for example, an external force that bends the male terminal 56 and the female terminal 57 can be prevented, the connection between the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 is released. In doing so, bending of the male terminal 56 and the female terminal 57 can be prevented, and damage to the power supply connector 133 and the power supply board connection connector 87 can be prevented.
