主制御基板１３を主基板ケース４３に封入して本体ケース２に装着する際の手順を説明する。第１段階として、主制御基板１３を主基板ケース４３に封入する。即ち、まず主制御基板１３の内側に主制御基板１３を嵌め込んでねじ止めし、その第２ケース体４２側の上下の周壁５２，５３を第１ケース体４１側の案内溝７８，７９に嵌合させ、第２ケース体４２側の係合爪７０を第１ケース体４１側の切り欠き部８１ａに、第１ケース体４１側の係合爪８２を第２ケース体４２側の係止孔６７に、それぞれ嵌合させてアンロック状態に組み合わせる（図１９→図２０）。
A procedure when the main control board 13 is enclosed in the main board case 43 and attached to the main body case 2 will be described. As a first stage, the main control board 13 is sealed in the main board case 43. That is, first, the main control board 13 is fitted inside the main control board 13 and screwed, and the upper and lower peripheral walls 52 and 53 on the second case body 42 side are inserted into the guide grooves 78 and 79 on the first case body 41 side. The engaging claw 70 on the second case body 42 side is engaged with the notch 81a on the first case body 41 side, and the engaging claw 82 on the first case body 41 side is engaged on the second case body 42 side. The holes 67 are respectively fitted and combined in an unlocked state (FIG. 19 → FIG. 20).
そして、第２ケース体４２と第１ケース体４１とを案内溝７８，７９に沿って相対的にスライドさせて、第２ケース体４２側の係合爪７０を第１ケース体４１側の係止部８１ｂに、第１ケース体４１側の係合爪８２を第２ケース体４２側の係止孔６７の縁部にそれぞれ係合させ、第１ケース体４１と第２ケース体４２とを結合状態でロックする（図２０→図２１）。これにより、第１ケース体４１側の被結合部１０１ａ及び凹部７１ａは第２ケース体４２側の封止側上壁５１ｂにより後側から覆われた状態となり、第２ケース体４２側の封止部材１０２ａは、第１ケース体４１側の被結合部１０１ａと前後方向に合致した状態となる。
Then, the second case body 42 and the first case body 41 are slid relative to each other along the guide grooves 78 and 79 so that the engaging claw 70 on the second case body 42 side is engaged with the first case body 41 side. The engaging claw 82 on the first case body 41 side is engaged with the edge of the locking hole 67 on the second case body 42 side with the stopper 81b, so that the first case body 41 and the second case body 42 are engaged. Lock in the coupled state (FIG. 20 → FIG. 21). As a result, the coupled portion 101a and the recess 71a on the first case body 41 side are covered from the rear side by the sealing-side upper wall 51b on the second case body 42 side, and the sealing on the second case body 42 side is performed. The member 102a is in a state of being aligned with the coupled portion 101a on the first case body 41 side in the front-rear direction.
続いて、複数（２組）の閉鎖封止手段４７のうちの１つを用いて主基板ケース４３を封止する。即ち、封止に用いる１つの封止部材１０２ａの被操作部１１７をドライバー等の工具で主基板ケース４３の内側に向けて押圧する。これにより、連結部１２４が損壊して封止部材１０２ａは封止部材連結体１１３側、即ち第２ケース体４２側から切り離され、その先端側の結合部１１６が弾性係合部１０８を両側に押し広げながら挿通スリット１０６内に嵌合する。このとき、封止部材１０２ａは、その周囲に配置されている案内板１１０，１１０、規制部１１１及び縦当接板１３６に沿って摺動することにより押圧方向に真っ直ぐに案内される。そして、封止部材１０２ａの鍔部１１５が嵌合支持部１０４ａの表面に当接したとき、結合部１１６が挿通スリット１０６を貫通して弾性係合部１０８の裏側に係合し、その封止部材１０２ａは第２ケース体４２から完全に独立した状態で第１ケース体４１側に離脱不能に結合した状態となる（図２２）。
Subsequently, the main substrate case 43 is sealed using one of a plurality (two sets) of closing sealing means 47. That is, the operated portion 117 of one sealing member 102a used for sealing is pressed toward the inside of the main substrate case 43 with a tool such as a screwdriver. As a result, the connecting portion 124 is damaged, and the sealing member 102a is cut off from the sealing member connecting body 113 side, that is, the second case body 42 side. It fits in the insertion slit 106 while expanding. At this time, the sealing member 102a is guided straight in the pressing direction by sliding along the guide plates 110, 110, the restricting portion 111, and the vertical contact plate 136 disposed around the sealing member 102a. When the flange portion 115 of the sealing member 102a comes into contact with the surface of the fitting support portion 104a, the coupling portion 116 penetrates the insertion slit 106 and engages with the back side of the elastic engagement portion 108, and the sealing The member 102a is in a state in which it is detachably coupled to the first case body 41 while being completely independent from the second case body 42 (FIG. 22).
このとき、その封止部材１０２ａに対応する開封障害部１０３ａの横当接板１３５及び縦当接板１３６が、その封止部材１０２ａに当接又は近接した状態となる。従って、その状態で、第２ケース体４２と第１ケース体４１とをアンロック方向に相対的にスライドさせようとしても、第１ケース体４１側に結合している封止部材１０２ａが、横当接板１３５及び縦当接板１３６を介して第２ケース体４２の開方向への相対移動を規制するため、そのままでは主基板ケース４３を開封することはできない。
At this time, the horizontal contact plate 135 and the vertical contact plate 136 of the unsealing obstruction part 103a corresponding to the sealing member 102a are in contact with or close to the sealing member 102a. Therefore, in this state, even if the second case body 42 and the first case body 41 are slid relative to each other in the unlocking direction, the sealing member 102a coupled to the first case body 41 side is Since the relative movement of the second case body 42 in the opening direction is restricted via the contact plate 135 and the vertical contact plate 136, the main substrate case 43 cannot be opened as it is.
また第２段階として、コネクタカバー４４を主基板ケース４３に装着する。即ち、コネクタカバー４４のヒンジピン８６を第１ケース体４１側の軸保持部９１に係合させ、コネクタカバー４４をそのヒンジピン８６廻りに回転させることにより、本体部８５をコネクタ３７ａ，３７ｂ及びこれに結合されたハーネス側コネクタ８８ａ，８８ｂに覆い被せ、カバー側結束部８７とケース側結束部８９とを結束バンド（図示省略）等により抜脱不能に結束する（図９）。
As a second stage, the connector cover 44 is attached to the main board case 43. That is, by engaging the hinge pin 86 of the connector cover 44 with the shaft holding portion 91 on the first case body 41 side and rotating the connector cover 44 around the hinge pin 86, the main body portion 85 is connected to the connectors 37a and 37b and this. The harness-side connectors 88a and 88b that are coupled are covered and the cover-side binding portion 87 and the case-side binding portion 89 are bound so as not to be detached by a binding band (not shown) or the like (FIG. 9).
続いて第３段階として、以上のようにして封止した主基板ケース４３を、本体ケース２側に固定されている主基板ケース取付台４５に装着する。即ち、主基板ケース４３側の係合突起８４を主基板ケース取付台４５側の切り欠き部９８ａに嵌合させてアンロック状態に組み合わせる（図２３→図２４）。このとき、被係合部１０１ｂが設けられた主基板ケース取付台４５側の嵌合支持部１０４ｂが主基板ケース４３側の凹部７１ａに嵌合した状態となる。
Subsequently, as a third stage, the main board case 43 sealed as described above is mounted on the main board case mounting base 45 fixed to the main body case 2 side. That is, the engagement protrusion 84 on the main board case 43 side is fitted into the notch 98a on the main board case mounting base 45 side and combined in the unlocked state (FIG. 23 → FIG. 24). At this time, the fitting support part 104b on the main board case mounting base 45 side where the engaged part 101b is provided is in a state of fitting into the recess 71a on the main board case 43 side.
そして、主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５に対して上下の囲繞壁９４，９５に沿って相対的にスライドさせて、主基板ケース４３側の係合突起８４を主基板ケース取付台４５側の係止部９８ｂに係合させ、主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５に対して装着状態でロックする（図２４→図２５）。これにより、主基板ケース４３側の２組の閉鎖封止手段４７と、主基板ケース取付台４５側の４組の装着封止手段４９とが一列状に整列した状態になると共に、主基板ケース４３側の封止部材１０２ｂは、主基板ケース取付台４５側の被結合部１０１ｂと前後方向に合致した状態となる。
Then, the main board case 43 is slid relative to the main board case mounting base 45 along the upper and lower surrounding walls 94, 95, and the engaging projections 84 on the main board case 43 side are moved to the main board case mounting base 45. The main board case 43 is locked with respect to the main board case mounting base 45 in the mounted state (FIG. 24 → FIG. 25). As a result, two sets of closing sealing means 47 on the main board case 43 side and four sets of mounting sealing means 49 on the main board case mounting base 45 side are aligned in a line, and the main board case The sealing member 102b on the 43rd side is in a state of being aligned with the coupled portion 101b on the main board case mounting base 45 side in the front-rear direction.
続いて、複数（４組）の装着封止手段４９のうちの１つを用いて主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５に装着状態で封止する。即ち、封止に用いる１つの封止部材１０２ｂの被操作部１１７をドライバー等の工具で主基板ケース４３の内側に向けて押圧する。これにより、連結部１２４が損壊して封止部材１０２ｂは封止部材連結体１１３側、即ち第２ケース体４２側から切り離され、その先端側の結合部１１６が弾性係合部１０８を両側に押し広げながら挿通スリット１０６内に嵌合する。このとき、封止部材１０２ｂは、その周囲に配置されている案内板１１０，１１０、規制部１１１及び縦当接板１３６に沿って摺動することにより押圧方向に真っ直ぐに案内される。そして、封止部材１０２ｂの鍔部１１５が嵌合支持部１０４ｂの表面に当接したとき、結合部１１６が挿通スリット１０６を貫通して弾性係合部１０８の裏側に係合し、その封止部材１０２ｂは第２ケース体４２から完全に独立した状態で主基板ケース取付台４５側に離脱不能に結合した状態となる（図２６）。
Subsequently, the main substrate case 43 is sealed to the main substrate case mounting base 45 in a mounted state by using one of a plurality (four sets) of mounting and sealing means 49. That is, the operated portion 117 of one sealing member 102b used for sealing is pressed toward the inside of the main substrate case 43 with a tool such as a screwdriver. As a result, the connecting portion 124 is damaged, and the sealing member 102b is cut off from the sealing member connecting body 113 side, that is, the second case body 42 side. It fits in the insertion slit 106 while expanding. At this time, the sealing member 102b is guided straight in the pressing direction by sliding along the guide plates 110, 110, the restricting portion 111, and the vertical contact plate 136 disposed around the sealing member 102b. When the flange portion 115 of the sealing member 102b comes into contact with the surface of the fitting support portion 104b, the coupling portion 116 penetrates the insertion slit 106 and engages with the back side of the elastic engagement portion 108, and the sealing The member 102b is in a state in which it is detachably coupled to the main board case mounting base 45 in a state completely independent from the second case body 42 (FIG. 26).
このとき、その封止部材１０２ｂに対応する開封障害部１０３ｂの横当接板１３５及び縦当接板１３６が、その封止部材１０２ｂに当接又は近接した状態となる。従って、その状態で、主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５に対してアンロック方向に相対的にスライドさせようとしても、主基板ケース取付台４５側に結合している封止部材１０２ｂが、横当接板１３５及び縦当接板１３６を介して主基板ケース４３の主基板ケース取付台４５に対するアンロック側への相対移動を規制するため、そのままでは主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５から取り外すことはできない。
At this time, the lateral contact plate 135 and the longitudinal contact plate 136 of the unsealing obstruction part 103b corresponding to the sealing member 102b are in contact with or close to the sealing member 102b. Therefore, in this state, even if the main board case 43 is slid relative to the main board case mounting base 45 in the unlocking direction, the sealing member 102b coupled to the main board case mounting base 45 side is provided. In order to restrict the relative movement of the main board case 43 to the unlocking side with respect to the main board case mounting base 45 via the lateral contact plate 135 and the vertical contact plate 136, the main board case 43 is attached to the main board case as it is. It cannot be removed from the base 45.
検査等のために主基板ケース２４を開封する場合には、まず主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５から取り外す必要がある。即ち、主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５側に封止している装着封止手段４９の第１，第２損壊部１３２，１３３をニッパー等の切断工具を用いて切断し、図２７（ａ）に示すように、開封障害部１０３ｂを第２ケース体４２から切り離して除去する。これにより、主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５に対してアンロック方向にスライドさせる際に封止部材１０２ｂの移動を規制するものがなくなるため（図２７（ｂ））、主基板ケース４３を主基板ケース取付台４５から取り外すことができる。
When opening the main board case 24 for inspection or the like, it is necessary to first remove the main board case 43 from the main board case mounting base 45. That is, the first and second damaged parts 132 and 133 of the mounting sealing means 49 that seals the main board case 43 to the main board case mounting base 45 side are cut using a cutting tool such as a nipper. As shown in (a), the unsealable portion 103b is separated from the second case body 42 and removed. As a result, there is no restriction on the movement of the sealing member 102b when the main board case 43 is slid in the unlocking direction with respect to the main board case mounting base 45 (FIG. 27B). Can be removed from the main board case mounting base 45.
続いて、主基板ケース取付台４５から取り外した主基板ケース４３からコネクタカバー４４を取り外し、主基板ケース４３を封止している閉鎖封止手段４７の第１，第２損壊部１３２，１３３をニッパー等の切断工具を用いて切断し、図２８（ａ）に示すように、開封障害部１０３ａを第２ケース体４２から切り離して除去する。これにより、第２ケース体４２を第１ケース体４１に対してアンロック方向にスライドさせる際に封止部材１０２ａの移動を規制するものがなくなるため（図２８（ｂ））、主基板ケース４３を開封することができる。
Subsequently, the connector cover 44 is removed from the main board case 43 removed from the main board case mounting base 45, and the first and second damaged portions 132 and 133 of the closing sealing means 47 sealing the main board case 43 are removed. It cuts using cutting tools, such as a nipper, and as shown to Fig.28 (a), the opening obstruction | occlusion part 103a is cut away from the 2nd case body 42, and is removed. As a result, there is no restriction on the movement of the sealing member 102a when the second case body 42 is slid in the unlocking direction with respect to the first case body 41 (FIG. 28B). Can be opened.
以上説明したように、本実施形態のスロットマシンは、第１ケース体４１と第２ケース体４２とを閉鎖状態で封止可能な複数の閉鎖封止手段４７が、第１ケース体４１側の被結合部１０１ａと、第２ケース体４２側に設けられ且つ被結合部１０１ａに離脱不能に結合することにより第１ケース体４１に対する第２ケース体４２の離脱を阻止する封止部材１０２ａとを備え、主基板ケース４３と主基板ケース取付台４５とを装着状態で封止可能な複数の装着封止手段４９が、主基板ケース取付台４５側の被結合部１０１ｂと、主基板ケース４３側に設けられ且つ被結合部１０１ｂに離脱不能に結合することにより主基板ケース取付台４５に対する主基板ケース４３の離脱を阻止する封止部材１０２ｂとを備え、主基板ケース４３側に設けた凹部７１ａに被結合部１０１ｂを嵌合させ、閉鎖封止手段４７と装着封止手段４９とを主基板ケース４３の一辺に沿って一列状に配置しているため、主基板ケース４３に対して閉鎖封止手段４７と装着封止手段４９とを効率よく配置して主基板ケース４３の内外のデッドスペースを少なくすることができ、遊技機筐体１内の限られたスペースを有効に活用することが可能となる。
As described above, in the slot machine of the present embodiment, the plurality of closing sealing means 47 that can seal the first case body 41 and the second case body 42 in the closed state are provided on the first case body 41 side. A coupled portion 101a and a sealing member 102a that is provided on the second case body 42 side and prevents the second case body 42 from being detached from the first case body 41 by being coupled to the coupled portion 101a so as not to be detached. A plurality of mounting sealing means 49 capable of sealing the main board case 43 and the main board case mounting base 45 in a mounted state, and the coupled portion 101b on the main board case mounting base 45 side and the main board case 43 side. And a sealing member 102b that prevents the main substrate case 43 from being detached from the main substrate case mounting base 45 by being detachably coupled to the coupled portion 101b, and a recess provided on the main substrate case 43 side. Since the coupled portion 101 b is fitted to 1 a and the closing sealing means 47 and the mounting sealing means 49 are arranged in a line along one side of the main board case 43, it is closed with respect to the main board case 43. The sealing means 47 and the mounting sealing means 49 can be efficiently arranged to reduce the dead space inside and outside the main board case 43, and the limited space inside the gaming machine housing 1 can be effectively utilized. Is possible.
また、閉鎖封止手段４７及び装着封止手段４９は、第１，第２損壊部１３２，１３３を介して第２ケース体４２側に一体に形成され且つ第１，第２損壊部１３２，１３３を損壊することにより第２ケース体４２から除去可能な開封障害部１０３ａ，１０３ｂを夫々備え、閉鎖封止手段４７は、封止部材１０２ａが第２ケース体４２側から離れて被結合部１０１ａに結合したとき、その封止部材１０２ａが第１ケース体４１に対する開封障害部１０３ａの開方向への相対移動を規制することにより主基板ケース４３の開封を阻止し、装着封止手段４９は、封止部材１０２ｂが第２ケース体４２側から離れて被結合部１０１ｂに結合したとき、その封止部材１０２ｂが主基板ケース取付台４５に対する開封障害部１０３ｂの開方向への相対移動を規制することにより主基板ケース４３の離脱を阻止するように構成されているため、閉鎖封止手段４７及び装着封止手段４９は、第１ケース体４１と第２ケース体４２、或いは主基板ケース４３と主基板ケース取付台４５の相対的なスライド移動さえ規制できればその配置位置は比較的自由であり、デッドスペースが最小となるような最適配置を容易に行うことができるという利点がある。
Further, the closing sealing means 47 and the mounting sealing means 49 are integrally formed on the second case body 42 side via the first and second damaged portions 132 and 133 and the first and second damaged portions 132 and 133 are formed. Are provided with unsealable portions 103a and 103b that can be removed from the second case body 42 by damaging them, and the closing sealing means 47 is provided so that the sealing member 102a moves away from the second case body 42 side to the coupled portion 101a. When coupled, the sealing member 102a prevents the opening of the main board case 43 by restricting relative movement in the opening direction of the opening obstruction part 103a with respect to the first case body 41. When the stop member 102b is separated from the second case body 42 side and coupled to the coupled portion 101b, the sealing member 102b moves relative to the main board case mounting base 45 in the opening direction of the opening obstruction portion 103b. Therefore, the closing sealing means 47 and the mounting sealing means 49 are the first case body 41 and the second case body 42, or the main board case. As long as the relative slide movement between the main board case mounting base 45 and the main board case mounting base 45 can be restricted, the arrangement position is relatively free, and there is an advantage that an optimum arrangement that minimizes the dead space can be easily performed.
封止部材１０２ａ，１０２ｂとそれらを連結する連結部材１１２とを合成樹脂により一体形成した封止部材連結体１１３を第２ケース体４２の内側に着脱自在に装着しているため、部品点数の削減と組み立て工程の簡略化とによりコストを抑制できる。
Since the sealing member coupling body 113 in which the sealing members 102a and 102b and the coupling member 112 that couples them are integrally formed of a synthetic resin is detachably mounted inside the second case body 42, the number of parts is reduced. The cost can be reduced by simplifying the assembly process.
更に、封止部材１０２ａ，１０２ｂと連結部材１１２とは損壊容易な連結部１２４により連結されており、封止部材連結体１１３が第２ケース体４２に装着された状態では封止部材１０２ａ，１０２ｂはその被操作部１１７のみが第２ケース体４２側の操作孔６８から外側に露出した状態となり、被操作部１１７が内向きに押圧されたとき、連結部１２４が損壊して封止部材１０２ａ，１０２ｂが封止部材連結体１１３から切り離されて被結合部１０１ａ，１０１ｂに結合するように構成されているため、封止作業は被操作部１１７の押圧操作のみで非常に簡単であり、また封止部材１０２ａ，１０２ｂを被結合部１０１ａ，１０１ｂ側に結合させて封止した後にできる隙間等を最小限に抑えて不正行為を効果的に防止できる。
Further, the sealing members 102a and 102b and the connecting member 112 are connected to each other by an easily breakable connecting portion 124. When the sealing member connecting body 113 is mounted on the second case body 42, the sealing members 102a and 102b are connected. Only the operated portion 117 is exposed to the outside from the operation hole 68 on the second case body 42 side, and when the operated portion 117 is pressed inward, the connecting portion 124 is damaged and the sealing member 102a. , 102b is separated from the sealing member coupling body 113 and coupled to the coupled portions 101a, 101b, so that the sealing work is very simple only by pressing the operated portion 117, and Unauthorized acts can be effectively prevented by minimizing gaps and the like formed after the sealing members 102a and 102b are joined and sealed to the coupled portions 101a and 101b.
以上、本発明の実施形態について詳述したが、本発明はこれらの実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の趣旨を逸脱しない範囲で種々の変更が可能である。例えば、実施形態では、遊技機が市場に出てからは、基板ケースごと取り外すことはあっても、その取り外した基板ケースを開封してまた元に戻すことは極希であることを考慮して、閉鎖封止手段４７の数（２組）を装着封止手段４９の数（４組）よりも少なくしたが、閉鎖封止手段４７と装着封止手段４９の数は夫々１又は複数であればよく、例えば閉鎖封止手段４７と装着封止手段４９とを同数としてもよいし、閉鎖封止手段４７を１組にしてもよい。
As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, in the embodiment, after the gaming machine is put on the market, it is rare that the board case is removed, but it is rare to open and remove the board case. Although the number (2 sets) of the closing sealing means 47 is smaller than the number (4 sets) of the mounting sealing means 49, the number of the closing sealing means 47 and the mounting sealing means 49 may be one or more. For example, the number of the closing sealing means 47 and the mounting sealing means 49 may be the same, or the closing sealing means 47 may be one set.
閉鎖封止手段４７による封止構造は、実施形態のように封止部材１０２ａにより第１ケース体４１に対する開封障害部１０３ａの開方向への相対移動を規制することにより基板ケース４３の開封を阻止するものに限らず、どのような封止構造を採用してもよい。装着封止手段４９についても同様である。
The sealing structure by the closing sealing means 47 prevents the opening of the substrate case 43 by restricting the relative movement in the opening direction of the opening obstruction part 103a with respect to the first case body 41 by the sealing member 102a as in the embodiment. Not only what to do, but any sealing structure may be adopted. The same applies to the mounting sealing means 49.
また、実施形態では本発明をスロットマシンに適用した例を示したが、パチンコ機、アレンジボール機等の各種遊技機において同様に実施可能であることは言うまでもない。
In the embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine has been described. Needless to say, the present invention can be similarly applied to various gaming machines such as a pachinko machine and an arrange ball machine.
