Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine that assembles and integrates a plurality of panel bodies having individual functions to provide a predetermined game to a player.

  Pachinko machines, slot machines, and the like that have been familiar as gaming machines have been manufactured by combining a plurality of different panel bodies. For example, specific examples of the panel body required for the pachinko gaming machine include a door frame, a gaming board, a gaming machine main body, a mechanism board, and the like. The point is that these gaming machines share functions for each panel body and combine them to function as a gaming machine as a result. These panel bodies are generally assembled and integrated while overlapping in the front-rear direction based on an outer frame. Each panel body itself is also configured by combining a plurality of functional parts. And it is comprised so that a predetermined | prescribed function may be show | played as a panel body by the combination of a functional component.

  Conventionally, accessory functional parts such as LED boards, relay boards, display devices, etc. are also mounted on plastic bases as functional parts, and if necessary, a metal thin plate frame is attached for reinforcement. Thus, the panel body is configured.

  By the way, in recent gaming machines, there is a tendency to mount more functional parts on the plastic base in order to satisfy various functions. As a result, the plastic base has to form a weight due to the mounting of these functional parts and a through hole for mounting, and it is no longer possible to guarantee sufficient strength for the plastic base. In addition, it has become impossible to secure a sufficient location for the functional components to be placed on the base.

  The present invention has been made paying attention to such problems existing in the prior art. An object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of configuring a panel body that can cope with various problems caused by an increase in functional parts.

  In order to achieve the above object, according to the first aspect of the present invention, a gaming machine in which a plurality of functional parts are combined to form a single panel body, and the plurality of the panel bodies are assembled and integrated. In the present invention, the gist is that a plurality of functional parts are similarly mounted on a metal base as a functional part to constitute the panel body.

  In the configuration as in the first aspect of the invention, the functional component is mounted on a metal base which is also a functional component to constitute a panel body.

  In the first aspect of the present invention, since the functional component is mounted on the metal base, which is also the functional component, and constitutes the panel body as a whole, the strength is ensured even if the panel body is composed of a large number of functional components. Can be held.

  Hereinafter, embodiments in which the present invention is applied to a pachinko gaming machine will be described with reference to the drawings. First, a schematic configuration common to each embodiment will be described, and then a unique configuration and operational effects of each embodiment will be described. In the following description, the front, front, or front side refers to the side facing the player, and the rear, rear, or back side refers to the opposite side of the facing side. Unless otherwise specified, left and right refer to the left and right direction as viewed from the front.

  First, the outline of the configuration of the pachinko gaming machine will be described based on FIGS.

  As shown in FIG. 2, in the pachinko gaming machine, other panel-like constituent members are arranged in a stacked manner in the front-rear direction with the pachinko machine body 1 as the center.

The mounting frame 4 has a glass window G as a functional component, first to third LED boards L1 to L3 as functional components mounted on the mounting frame 4, and a functional component mounted at a lower position of the door frame body 15. The upper receiving tray 6 is mounted. The door frame 5 will be described in detail later.

  In the pachinko machine body 1, a cover plate 7 is disposed below the game board 3. The cover plate 7 is fixed to the pachinko machine body 1. A pachinko ball launching mechanism 8 is disposed on the back surface of the cover plate 7. The cover plate 7 is formed with a lower tray 9 that protrudes forward. An operation handle 10 that is linked to the pachinko ball launching mechanism 8 is attached to the right side of the lower tray 9.

  A mechanism board 11 is disposed at a rear position of the game board 3 so as to cover them from the back. A mounting base 12 is disposed below the mechanism panel 11. The mounting base 12 is a member that is mounted on the pachinko machine main body 1 that is configured separately from the mechanism panel 11 and on which various substrates are mounted.

  Each of these panels is attached to a rectangular wooden outer frame 13 framed in a frame shape via a main pachinko machine body 1. The pachinko machine body 1 is detachably fitted to the wooden outer frame 13.

Next, the structure of the door frame main body 15 and the mounting frame 4 in the door frame 5 in the pachinko gaming machine configured as described above will be mainly described.
(Embodiment 1)
First, the configuration of the door frame main body 15 will be described. As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the plastic door frame main body 15 is a substantially rectangular plate having a substantially circular large opening 21 for the glass window G formed in the center.

On the front surface side of the door frame main body 15, a first electric decoration panel 23 having a substantially rectangular front shape is disposed on the mounting portion 15 a above the large opening 21. On the front side of the door frame main body 15, second electrical decoration panels 24 and 25 are disposed on the left and right mounting portions 15 b and 15 c of the large opening 21. Both the second electrical decoration panels 24 and 25 are arc-shaped members symmetrical to each other, and surround the large opening 21 together with the first electrical decoration panel 23.

  A transparent panel 30 that is continuous with the second electric decoration panels 24 and 25 is disposed at the lower ends of the second electric decoration panels 24 and 25. Each of these panels 23 to 25 and 30 constitutes a functional component and can be mounted from the front side of the door frame main body 15. Each panel 23-25, 30 is fixed from the back side by screws (not shown). As shown in FIG. An engagement member 27 constituting a hinge portion 26 is formed between the door frame main body 15 and the attachment frame 4 at the left side surface position in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of circular through holes 31 are formed at the arrangement positions of the respective illumination panels 23 to 25 of the door frame main body 15, and an LED to be described later is forward from the through holes 31. It is supposed to be exposed. A rectangular large-sized through hole 32 is formed at the position of the transparent panel 30 so that a censor seal or the like affixed to the game surface as a game part can be seen through the transparent panel 30.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 to 5, an upper tray 6 as a functional component is formed at the front center lower position of the large opening 21. Between the upper tray 6 and the large opening 21, an operation button 33 for lending a ball and a display panel 34 for displaying the remaining amount of the card in a 7-segment style are arranged. These operation buttons 33 and the display panel 34 constitute functional parts.

  The door frame main body 15 is attached to the mounting frame 4. As shown in FIGS. 6 to 8 and FIGS. 26 to 28, the mounting frame 4 has a frame body 35 having a rectangular outer shape obtained by press-molding an alloy. A flange 37 protruding forward from the frame body 35 is formed on the entire outer peripheral edge of the frame body 35. A large opening 38 having a large square opening is formed at the center of the frame body 35. In the frame main body 35, the left and right vertical frames 35a and 35b are disposed on the left and right sides of the large opening 38, and the upper and lower frames 35c and 35d are disposed on the upper and lower sides of the large opening 38, respectively. When the mounting frame 4 is mounted on the door frame main body 15, the vertical frames 35 a and 35 b reinforce the left and right positions of the large opening 21 of the door frame main body 15, and the upper and lower frames 35 c and 35 d are large openings of the door frame main body 15. The upper and lower positions of 21 are reinforced.

  As shown in FIGS. 6, 7, 27, and 28, a recess 39 is formed on the entire periphery of the large opening 38 and on the front side of the frame body 35. The left and right inner peripheral edges of the concave portion 39 are bent and protruded to the back side of the frame body 35 to form left and right protruding portions 39a and 39b. The left and right protrusions 39a and 39b extend in the vertical direction, and left and right guide rails 41 are mounted on the left and right protrusions 39a and 39b, respectively. The lower inner peripheral edge of the concave portion 39 is bent and protrudes to the back side of the frame body 35 to form a lower protruding portion 39c. The lower protrusion 39c extends in the left-right direction, and a support rail 42 is attached to the lower protrusion 39c.

  The glass window G is supported from below by the support rail 42 while being guided by the left and right guide rails 41. In the first embodiment, the guide rail 41 and the support rail 42 protrude rearward with respect to the frame main body 35, so that the glass window G supported by them is disposed on the back surface of the frame main body 35. It becomes. The glass window G is further arranged in consideration of the distance from the game surface of the rear game board 3. As shown in FIG. 27, the glass window G is not in contact with any part of the frame body 35 while being supported by the guide rail 41 and the support rail 42.

  First functional component attachment ports 44 extending in the vertical direction are formed in the left and right positions of the large opening 38 of the frame body 35, that is, in the left and right vertical frames 35a and 35b. The attachment ports 44 are arranged as a total of four holes in series at two locations in the upper and lower positions, respectively. A reinforcing rib 45 extending in the left-right direction is formed on the lower end edge of each mounting port 44 so as to protrude forward. The reinforcing rib 45 is formed integrally with the frame main body 35 by pressing. A second functional component attachment port 46 extending in the left-right direction is formed in the upper position of the large opening 38 of the attachment frame 4, that is, the upper frame 35c. Reinforcing ribs 47 extending in the left-right direction are formed at the lower end edge of each mounting port 46 so as to protrude forward. The reinforcing rib 47 is formed integrally with the frame main body 35 by pressing. The frame main body 35 is provided with mounting holes 48 for fixing screws (not shown) for mounting the frame main body 35 on the door frame main body 15 in a scattered manner.

  As shown in FIG. 8, latches 49 for fixing the door frame 5 with respect to the outer frame 13 are provided on the left vertical frame 35a so as to protrude rearward at two upper and lower positions. On the right vertical frame 35b, support metal fittings 50 are formed at two upper and lower positions to be engaged with the game board 3 and hold the door frame 5 in a cantilever manner. As shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, an engagement pin 51 constituting the hinge portion 26 is formed adjacent to the support fitting 50. As shown in FIG. 17, since the engaging pin 51 is inserted into the engaging member 27 on the door frame main body 15 side to form the hinge portion 26, the door frame main body 15 is attached to the mounting frame 4 (frame main body 35). On the other hand, it can be turned around the hinge portion 26.

  As shown in FIG. 8, a seal 52 is affixed to the frame body 35. The seal 52 describes the disposal time of the LED boards L1 to L3 mounted on the mounting frame 4 (that is, data on how long they can be used), and when the pachinko gaming machine is collected, the LED boards L1 to L3 are replaced again. It will be an indicator of whether or not it can be mounted on a pachinko machine. Also, as shown in FIGS. 6 to 8, a ground wire E is connected to the frame main body 35, and the static electricity accumulated in the state where the pachinko gaming machine is set is grounded and discharged.

  Next, the first to third LED boards L1 to L3 mounted on the mounting frame 4 having such a configuration will be described. As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, each LED board L <b> 1 to L <b> 3 is provided with a plurality of LEDs as light emitting portions on the board surface La, and a cable Cb is extended from the board surface La. A wiring pattern P for LED is printed on the substrate surface. The first to third LED substrates L1 to L3 are respectively mounted on the left and right front surfaces of the frame body 35 of the mounting frame 4 and the upper mounting portions 35a, 35b, and 35c.

  The first to third LED boards L1 to L3 are fixed to the frame body 35 via first and second connection catches 53 and 55 as mediating members. As shown in FIGS. 11 to 16, the first and second connection catches 53, 55 made of ABS resin protrude from the catch body 57 having a rectangular shape and the front side of the catch body 57 toward the front. A basic structure is formed by the pair of swing legs 58. A first pressing portion 60 as an engaging portion is formed on the outer side surfaces of the pair of swinging legs 58 arranged to face each other. The first pressing portion 60 extends along the longitudinal direction of the side surface of the swing leg 58, and a tapered guide surface 61 is formed on the front surface thereof. A second pressing portion 63 as an engaging portion is formed on the inner side surface of the swing leg 58. The second pressing portion 63 extends along the longitudinal direction of the side surface of the swing leg 58, and a tapered guide surface 65 is formed on the front surface thereof. A shelf 66 is formed at a position slightly closer to the catch body 57 from the second pressing portion 63.

  Detailed mounting action of the first to third LED boards L1 to L3 by the first and second connection catches 53 and 55 will be described later.

  Next, the mounting operation of the first to third LED substrates L1 to L3 to the mounting frame 4 and the mounting operation of the door frame main body 15 to the mounting frame 4 will be described.

  First, the mounting operation of the first to third LED substrates L1 to L3 to the mounting frame 4 will be described. Since the mounting action of the LED board L1 is basically the same as that of the LED board L2, only the mounting work on the LED board L2 side will be described.

  First, the operator grasps the first connection catch 53 and attaches the connection catch 53 to the second functional component attachment port 46 of the attachment frame 4 from the rear of the attachment frame 4 as shown in FIG. .

  As shown in FIG. 21A, the swing leg 58 of the first connection catch 53 is inserted into the first functional component mounting port 44. Then, since the interval between the swinging legs 58 facing each other is just equal to the width of the mounting hole 44, the first pressing part 60 formed on the outer surface of the swinging leg 58 is inserted into the mounting hole 44. It contacts the edge 44a. At this stage, when the first connection catch 53 is further pushed in the direction of the attachment port 44, the swing leg 58 is pushed by the edge 44a via the guide surface 61 as shown in FIG. Will bend. Then, when the swing leg 58 is advanced and the engagement state between the edge portion 44a and the first pressing portion 60 is released, the swing leg 58 itself is shown in FIGS. 19 and 21C. It returns by the elastic action. In this state, the first coupling catch 53 sandwiches the frame main body 35 at the edge 44a position by the catch main body 57 and the first pressing portion 60, and is fixed at the attachment port 44 position. In this manner, the first connection catch 53 is mounted on the reinforcing rib 45 in a state in which the first connection catch 53 is mounted (see FIGS. 19, 20, 26, etc.). 45 serves as a kind of bottom plate of the first connection catch 53.

  Such an operation is performed on the upper and lower first connection catches 53.

  Next, the first LED board L1 shown in FIG. 10 is attached to the first connection catch 53 fixed in this manner from the front of the mounting frame 4 as shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (d), the first LED board L 1 is brought into contact with the guide surface 65 of the second pressing portion 63 of the swing leg 58. At this stage, when the first LED board L1 is further pushed in the direction of the first connection catch 53, the swing leg 58 pushes against the first LED board L1 via the guide surface 65 as shown in FIG. It is moved and gradually bends inward. When the swing leg 58 has advanced and the engagement state between the first LED board L1 and the first pressing portion 60 is released, the swing leg as shown in FIGS. 20 and 21 (f). 58 returns by its own elastic action. In this state, the first LED board L1 is sandwiched between the second pressing portion 63 and the shelf portion 66, and is fixed at the position of the attachment port 44 via the first connection catch 53.

  After mounting the first and second LED boards L1 and L2 in this way, the second connection catch 55 is attached to the second functional component mounting port 46 in order to mount the third LED board L3. As shown in FIG. 4, the mounting frame 4 is mounted from the rear. The mounting operation of the second connection catch 55 is as shown in FIGS. 25 (a) to 25 (c). Since this series of operations is the same as that of the first connection catch 53, description thereof is omitted.

  Next, the third LED board L3 shown in FIG. 9 is attached to the second connection catch 55 fixed in this manner from the front of the mounting frame 4 as shown in FIG. The mounting operation of the third LED substrate L3 is as shown in FIGS. 25 (d) to 25 (f). Since this series of operations is the same as that of the first LED substrate L1, description thereof is omitted.

The mounting operation of the LED boards L1 to L3 to the LED board frame 16 can be performed in advance on a line different from the pachinko gaming machine assembly line process.

  Next, the door frame main body 15 is mounted on the front side of the mounting frame 4 with the first to third LED substrates L1 to L3 mounted in this manner. That is, as shown in FIG. 17, the operator fits the engagement member 27 on the door frame main body 15 side to the engagement pin 51 on the attachment frame 4 side to form the hinge portion 27, and the door frame to the attachment frame 4. The main body 15 is held in a cantilever manner. Then, the mounting frame 4 and the door frame main body 15 are overlapped with each other, and screws 59 are screwed into the screw holes 48 for fixing the screws to fix the mounting frame 4 and the door frame main body 15 (FIG. 29).

With this configuration, the first embodiment has the following effects.
(1) Conventionally, the metal frame is not used except for the purpose of complementing the strength of the door frame main body 15 and the like, and there has been no idea of using a metal base as a base for mounting functional parts. With such a configuration, in the state where various functional parts are required, there is no problem that a large number of functional parts are mounted on a plastic base and the strength is lowered. In addition, by mounting the LED boards L1 to L3 on the metal frame 4 side in this way, other functional parts can be arranged at positions overlapping the LED boards L1 to L3 on the door frame main body 15 side. As a result, a margin for mounting the functional parts of the door frame 5 is born.
(2) When functional parts are increased, if all of them are separately mounted on the door frame main body 15, the load applied to the door frame main body 15 increases and the structure becomes complicated. However, such a problem is solved by sharing a part (or all) of functional parts in the mounting frame 4 (frame main body 35) in this way.
(3) If the LED boards L1 to L3 are mounted on the mounting frame 4 in advance, the LED boards L1 to L3 can be arranged just by mounting the mounting frame 4 to the door frame main body 15. The mounting work of the substrates L1 to L3 can be simplified and the working efficiency is improved.
(4) The door frame main body 15 can be opened by the hinge portion 26 with respect to the mounting frame 4. That is, only the door frame main body 15 can be opened to the mounting frame 4 to expose the back surface, and the mounting frame 4 is exposed on the front surface on which functional parts (LED substrates L1 to L3 in this case) are mounted. It can be made. Therefore, it is easy to open the door frame main body 15 with respect to the mounting frame 4 in an inspection operation or the like, and the work efficiency is greatly improved.
(5) Since the LED boards L1 to L3 are mounted on the mounting frame 4, the rigidity of the mounting frame 4 itself is also improved.
(6) The mounting frame 4 is made of metal, and it is difficult to easily form a structure for hooking functional components (here, the LED boards L1 to L3) to be mounted on the mounting frame 4 due to molding limitations. . However, as described above, the first and second connection catches 53 and 55 are used, and the LED boards L1 to L3 are mounted via these. This makes it possible to attach functional parts.

  In addition, the connection catches 53 and 55 that can be molded separately from the mounting frame 4 can have any shape, and can be freely deformed according to the functional parts to be mounted on the mounting frame 4.

Furthermore, since the connection catches 53 and 55 are made of plastic, they can be recycled.
(7) Since the frame main body 35 is provided with the attachment ports 44 and 46 in addition to the large opening 38, many through holes are formed. However, the attachment catches 44 and 46 are blocked by the connection catches 53 and 55, so that deterioration in strength is prevented as much as possible.
(8) Since the attachment frame 4 is formed with the flange 37, the recess 39, the folded protrusions 39a to 39c, and the like, the bending strength can be obtained sufficiently and sufficiently even though it is thin.
(9) The LED boards L1 to L3 can be mounted on a different pachinko gaming machine after the pachinko gaming machine is collected instead of being discarded only by one use. That is, the plurality of LED substrates L1 to L3 have commonality from the viewpoint of the function of being recyclable. These also have commonality from the viewpoint of the function of being able to be separated and disposed as a plastic member having the cable Cb even when not recycled.
(10) Since the mounting frame 4 is made of metal and is a recyclable functional component, it is possible to recycle the LED boards L1 to L3 and to collect and recycle themselves.
(11) The limit of recycling of the LED boards L1 to L3 can be achieved by checking the date of use of the seal 52. For this reason, it becomes easy to distinguish between the case where the seal 52 is viewed again when the mounting frame 4 is removed and the case where it is recycled again and the case where it is discarded.
(12) Since the cable Cb is surrounded by the surrounding wall surface by passing the cable Cb of the LED boards L1 to L3 through the recess 39, the cable Cb is not visually observed from the player side.
(13) The connection catches 53 and 55 which are heavy while holding the LED boards L1 to L3 are supported by the swinging legs 58 on the mounting ports 44 and 46 at the same time, and the first connection catch 53 is a reinforcing rib. The second connection catch 55 is placed on the reinforcing rib 47 on the top 45. Accordingly, the connection catches 53 and 55 are firmly held by the attachment ports 44 and 46 and do not fall off.
(14) Each first connection catch 53 is placed on the reinforcing rib 45. Therefore, in a state where the LED boards L1 and L2 are mounted on these connection catches 53, the reinforcing rib 45 becomes a kind of bottom plate so that the LED boards L1 and L2 do not slide down and fall off from the connection catch 53. Yes.
(15) Since the projecting portions 39a to 39c are formed on the inner periphery of the large opening 38 of the mounting frame 4, these are difficult to see the outside of the large opening 38 as a kind of shielding wall. Therefore, the structure of the back surface of the attachment frame 4 or the door frame main body 15 can be designed without worrying about the player's eyes.
(Embodiment 2)
In the second embodiment, unlike the first embodiment, a display device 70 is provided instead of the third LED substrate L3. In the figure, the same reference numerals are assigned to configurations corresponding to those of the first embodiment, and detailed description thereof is omitted.

  As shown in FIGS. 32 and 33, a display device 70 having a functional component shorter than the lateral width of the mounting port 46, for example, a display unit 71 of a liquid crystal screen, using the second mounting port 46 of the frame body 35. You may make it arrange | position to the flame | frame 16 for LED boards so that attachment or detachment is possible.

  A display device 70 is placed on the reinforcing rib 47 in the second attachment port 46 and is fixed to the upper mounting portion 35c by screws 77. Sealing plates 73 are arranged on the left and right sides of the display device 70 so as to seal the remaining space of the second attachment port 46 and are fixed by screws 77.

  As shown in FIGS. 30 and 31, a through hole 78 is formed in the mounting portion 15 a at the upper portion of the large opening 21 of the door frame main body 15. The display device 70 attached to the frame main body 35 (attachment frame 4) is fixed to the door frame main body 15 and the display portion 71 is exposed from the through-hole 78 as in the first embodiment. A cover 79 is attached to the through hole 78 so as to surround the periphery of the display unit 71 from the front side of the door frame body 15.

  Since the display device 70 is also fixed to the left and right sealing plates 73 by screws 77, the display device 70 is firmly fixed to the frame main body 35 even though it is shorter than the left and right width of the second attachment port 46. Become. Furthermore, since an opening that is greatly opened in the left-right direction is formed in the frame body 35, the strength of the frame body 35 alone is poor. However, since the sealing plate 73 is connected in series via the display device 70 in the middle to completely block the second mounting port 46 and reinforce the mounting port 46, strength deterioration is prevented. .

  It should be noted that the present invention can be modified and embodied as follows.

  The first to third LED boards L1 to L3 are not directly gripped by the swing legs 58 of the first or second connection catches 53 and 55 as in the first embodiment, but a support is interposed. You may make it wear. For example, as shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, the support plate 81 connecting portion having a shape that is gripped by the swing leg 58 on the LED substrate L2 (that is, like the outer shape of the LED substrate L1 in the first embodiment). Connect via 82. Then, the support plate 81 is gripped by the swing leg 58.

  If comprised in this way, it can be made to respond | correspond freely to functional components like LED board L1-L3 made into various shapes, Especially in the functional component which light-emits LED light like LED board L1-L3 ahead. This is advantageous because it allows a design to advance further forward.

  In each of the above embodiments, one of the first to third LED boards L1 to L3 is held for each of the connection catches 53 and 55. For example, as shown in FIG. Thus, one LED substrate L2 may be held.

  The shape of the connection catches 53 and 55 is not limited to the above embodiments. For example, as shown in FIG. 37, the swing legs 58 may be formed only at both ends of the catch main body 57 of the connection catch 55. That is, the swing leg 58 may be arranged in a direction that is 90 degrees away from the swing leg 58 of the second connection catch 55 of the first embodiment. In such a direction, it may be mounted by the action of the swing leg 58 at a position different from the second mounting port 46. In addition, it is free to change the shape of the catch body 57 or change the width of the swing leg 58.

-The material of the connection catches 53 and 55 may be made of other plastics. Moreover, you may make it comprise with an elastic body (for example, synthetic rubber). If the elastic body is used, the connection catches 53 and 55 are greatly bent, so that the bending of the first to third LED boards L1 to L3 is extremely reduced.

  In the above embodiment, the recyclable number is checked based on the date written on the seal 52. However, for example, a bar code or a QR code may be used as another recycle number confirmation means. In addition to the seal 52, an IC chip or a memory card may be used as the recycling number confirmation means.

In the above embodiment, the functional parts (LED boards L1 to L3, display device 70) are fixed by the pressing portion 63 as a claw such as the swing leg 58 and the screw 77, but other means may be used. I do not care.

  As shown in FIG. 38, the glass window G may be arranged on the front side of the mounting frame 4. In this case, it is arranged at a position separated from the game board 3 as compared with the case where it is arranged on the back side of the mounting frame 4.
