The power supply board is mainly disposed, and a so-called empty space with a low installation density is formed.

  FIG. 5 shows an internal structure of an A-type interframe machine 10 </ b> A that mainly illustrates the main part of the present embodiment. As shown in the figure, the A type interpolator 10A has a housing 3A, and a first air intake / exhaust port 36 is provided on the front surface (front panel 3B) of the housing 3A facing the game space S side. ing. In the case of the present embodiment, the first air intake / exhaust port 36 is located in the area of the power supply unit 30 below the inter-machine 10A.

  In addition, a surface of the housing 3A facing a side different from the side of the player P using the gaming machine 2 (the game space S side), for example, the upper back of the housing 3A located on the side opposite to the game space S is A second air intake / exhaust port 37 is provided. Note that a branch pipe 50a of an exhaust pipe 50, which will be described later, can be connected to the second air intake / exhaust port 37 as in the right end island I3 (see FIGS. 6 and 7). Further, the second air intake / exhaust port 37 may be provided on the upper surface or the lower surface of the inter-machine 10A.

  In addition, the interstage machine 10A is provided with air supply means for sucking and exhausting air to and from the interstage machine 10A through the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and the second air intake / exhaust port 37. In particular, in the present embodiment, the air supply means is configured so that each unit 19 (including the CPU 20) also flows air flowing into the housing 3A from either the first air intake / exhaust port 36 or the second air intake / exhaust port 37. , 5 and 7, the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and the second air intake / exhaust port 37 are circulated to the other. Specifically, the air supply means is a fan (or a blower) that is provided in the vicinity of the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and sucks / exhausts air into / from the housing 3A through the first air intake / exhaust port 36. 40 and one or more continuous airflow guide members 43 (in the present embodiment, formed as a plurality of guide members) for guiding air between the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and the second air intake / exhaust port 37. And a fan (or a blower) 41 that is disposed in the vicinity of the second air intake / exhaust port 37 and sucks / extracts air from / to the housing 3A through the second air intake / exhaust port 37. It is configured. Air is sent between the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and the second air intake / exhaust port 37 only by the fan 40 (or 41) on the first air intake / exhaust port 36 side or the second air intake / exhaust port 37 side. If it is possible, the fan on either side can be omitted. Further, only the fans 40 and 41 (or only the fan 40 or the fan 41) can reliably air between the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and the second air intake / exhaust port 37 via the units 19, 5, and 7. Can be circulated, the airflow guide member 43 can be omitted.

  In addition, the inter-machine 10A according to the present embodiment is provided with a sensor 44 for detecting the temperature in the housing 3A. In this embodiment, the sensor 44 is installed in one or a plurality of the airflow guide members 43, but may be installed in other parts such as the inner wall of the housing 3A. In the present embodiment, the operations of the fans 40 and 41 are controlled by the CPU 20 based on detection information from the sensor 44. For example, in the normal ventilation operation, only the fan 40 (or the fan 41) is driven. However, when the temperature in the housing 3A becomes a predetermined temperature or higher based on the detection information from the sensor 44, the fan 41 (or fan 40) is also driven to increase the air supply output, so that the cooling effect of the units 19, 5, 7, etc. is enhanced. Alternatively, the operations of the fans 40 and 41 are normally stopped. However, when the temperature in the housing 3A becomes equal to or higher than a predetermined temperature based on the detection information from the sensor 44, the fans 40 and 41 are operated. It may be like this.

  In the present embodiment, a filter 42 for cleaning the circulating air is provided in the middle of the air circulation path between the first air intake / exhaust port 36 and the second air intake / exhaust port 37. In particular, in this embodiment, the filter 42 is provided adjacent to the second air intake / exhaust port 37. However, the filter 42 may be provided adjacent to the first air intake / exhaust port 36, or It may be provided in the middle of the air flow path defined by the airflow guide member 43 while being supported by these guide members 43. Alternatively, in the case where the interpolating machines 10A and 10B face each other back to back as in the intermediate island I2, such a filter 42 is provided on one side of the facing interfacing machines 10A and 10B. It may be provided only for.

  In the present embodiment, the CPU 20 constitutes a switching means for switching the air feeding direction by the fans 40 and 41. That is, as will be described later with reference to FIGS. 6 and 7, the CPU 20 can change the rotation direction of the fans 40 and 41 to reversely switch the air flow in the game hall H.

  In the above, the structure of the A-type pedestal machine 10A has been described. However, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 7, the B-type pedestal machine 10B has an internal structure that forms a mirror image with the A-type pedestal machine 10A. Have. However, by devising the positions and the like of the air intake / exhaust ports 36 and 37, the A-type interframe machine 10A and the B-type interstage machine 10B can also have exactly the same structure.

  In the present embodiment, the exhaust system provided on the left end island I1 and the right end island I3 collectively exhausts the air exhausted from the inter-vehicle units 10A and 10B on these islands I1 and I3 to a predetermined exhaust area. Is configured to do. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1 or 2, the exhaust system includes a long exhaust pipe 50 extending along the left end island I1 and the right end island I3. The exhaust pipe 50 includes a main pipe 50b extending over almost the entire length of the islands I1 and I3, and a branch pipe 50a connecting the main pipe 50b and the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of each inter-vehicle machine 10A (or 10B). As will be described later, an air recovery means for recovering air continuously sucked and discharged across the plurality of islands I1, I2, and I3 (therefore, the plurality of inter-machines 10A and 10B) is configured. Of course, without providing the exhaust pipe 50, each inter-machine 10A, 10B may exhaust air from the second air intake / exhaust port 37 to the outside. In the case where such an exhaust pipe 50 is provided, a filter 42 is provided in, for example, the main pipe 50b of the exhaust pipe 50 instead of individually providing the filters 42 in the inter-vehicle machines 10A and 10B, and the islands I1, I2. You may make it filter the air collect | recovered from the interstage machine 10 ... of the whole I3 collectively.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, it is preferable to provide a notification means for notifying the replacement time of the filter 42 and the maintenance time of the fans 40 and 41 and the like. Such a notification means may be configured such that the CPU unit 20 notifies the replacement time and the maintenance time by turning on the pilot lamp 18.

  Next, the operation of a system (a table machine system for gaming machines) including a table machine having the above-described arrangement and configuration will be described.

  First, in the first air supply mode, an air flow from the left end island I1 to the right end island I3 is formed. Specifically, the fans 40 and 41 of the inter-machines 10A and 10B are rotated in one direction, and these fans 40 and 41 cooperate to form an A-type inter-machine as shown in FIG. The air sucked from the 10A first air intake / exhaust port 36 is caused to flow into the housing 3A and circulate through each unit 19 (including the CPU 20), 5 and 7 as well as the A type interpolator 10A. The air flows from the second air intake / exhaust port 37 to the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of the B-type pedestal machine 10B and is discharged from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the B-type pedestal machine 10B. In addition, the air discharged from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the B-type pedestal machine 10B crosses the game space S by the cooperative action of the fans 40 and 41 described above, and the gaming position of each gaming machine 2 After the air curtain C is formed on the side of the player P, the air is sucked from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the facing A-type table machine 10A. Finally, the air that has reached each A-type interstage machine 10A on the right end island I3 is exhausted outside the game hall H through the exhaust pipe 50 provided on the right end island I3.

  On the other hand, in the second air supply mode switched by the CPU 20 according to the situation in the game hall H, an air flow from the right end island I3 to the left end island I1 is formed. Specifically, the fans 40 and 41 of the inter-machines 10A and 10B are rotated in the other direction, and the fans 40 and 41 cooperate to form a B-type inter-machine as shown in FIG. The air sucked from the first air inlet / outlet 36 of 10B flows into the housing 3A and circulates through the units 19 (including the CPU 20), 5 and 7, and The air flows from the second air intake / exhaust port 37 to the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of the A-type platform machine 10A, and is discharged from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the A-type platform machine 10A. In addition, the air discharged from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the A-type pedestrian machine 10A crosses the game space S by the cooperative action of the fans 40 and 41 described above, and the gaming position of each gaming machine 2 After the air curtain C is formed on the side of the player P, the air is sucked from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the opposing B-type interframe machine 10B. Finally, the air that has reached the B-type pedestal machine 10B on the left end island I1 is exhausted outside the game hall H through the exhaust pipe 50 provided on the left end island I1.

  As described above, according to the gaming machine platform machine system of the present embodiment, the two A-type and B-type platform machines 10A and 10B as the first and second platform machines that are adjacent to each other are opposed to each other. Since each air supply means is used to suck and exhaust air at the same time, there is no need to install a high-performance large blower that uses a powerful motor in one inter-machine. Air blowing performance can be obtained. In addition, since the first and second interstage machines 10A and 10B can have the same structure or a similar structure, the cost of the entire system can be reduced. Moreover, since the said component is provided in the existing empty space (in the said embodiment, the power supply part 30) of the intermediary machine 10 (10A, 10B), effective utilization of an empty space can be aimed at.

  Further, in this embodiment, since the CPU 20 constitutes a switching unit for switching the air feeding direction of the air feeding unit, the air flow direction can be changed according to the circumstances of the environment where the system is installed. .

  Further, in the present embodiment, the CPU 20 causes the air sucked from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the first interpolator 10 </ b> A to the second base from the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of the first interpolator 10 </ b> A. A first air supply mode (see FIG. 6) that flows to the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of the intermediate unit 10B and discharges from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the second interstage unit 10B; The air sucked from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the machine 10B is caused to flow from the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of the second inter-machine 10B to the second air intake / exhaust port 37 of the first inter-machine 10A. It is possible to switch between the second air supply mode (see FIG. 7) discharged from the first air intake / exhaust port 36 of the first inter-vehicle machine 10A. Therefore, in the first air supply mode, the air on the first intermediary machine 10A side can be sucked to clean the air on the first intermediary machine 10A side, and the air is supplied to the second intermediary machine 10B side. For example, an air curtain C can be formed on the second interstage machine 10B side to separate smoke between the adjacent players P. On the other hand, in the second air supply mode, The air on the side of the machine 10B can be sucked to clean the air on the side of the second machine 10B, and the air can be discharged to the side of the first machine 10A, The curtain C can be formed and smoke can be separated between the adjacent players P.

  Further, in the gaming machine pedestal machine system of the present embodiment, the air circulating in the pedestal machine 10 can be positively cleaned by the filter 42, so that a clean external environment can be provided.

  In the present embodiment, the air taken into the inter-machine 10 is circulated through the units 5, 7, 19 and then exhausted. Therefore, the units 5, 7, 19 are moved by the taken-in air. It can be actively cooled. Therefore, it is possible to effectively dissipate heat so that heat is not accumulated in the inter-machine 10.
