Description

  The present invention relates to a wiring storage structure that stores wiring for connecting two electronic boards and a gaming machine having the wiring storage structure.

  A gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine is provided with a control board for controlling the operation of the gaming machine. The control board includes a CPU as an arithmetic processing means, a ROM (Read Only Memory) as a storage element, a RAM (Random Access Memory), and the like. It controls the operation of the gaming machine, such as operation control, image control of the display device, special game win / fail lottery.

  In order to control various parts by the control board, it is necessary to connect an electronic board to the various parts and to electrically connect the electronic board and the control board. However, the control board and the electronic board member may not be directly connected. In such a case, a relay board is arranged at a position where it can be connected to an electronic board connected to various components, and the electronic board connected to the various parts and the control board are connected via this relay board. It has been broken.

  Further, depending on the positional relationship between the various members and the relay board, the wiring connecting the relay board and the electronic board connected to the various members may be a complicated route. In such a case, a flexible wiring such as a flexible flat cable is used (for example, see Patent Document 1).

JP 2004-267427 A

  Further, when the component is a movable member, the electronic board moves together with the movable member, and the arrangement state of the wiring changes depending on the position of the movable member. In addition, the distance between the electronic board connected to the movable member and the relay board varies depending on the position of the movable member. Since the connection between the electronic board and the relay board must be maintained at any position of the movable member, the wiring length connects the electronic board and the relay board when the electronic board and the relay board are farthest apart. At least the length that can be done is necessary.

  For example, in a gaming machine in which the movable member is configured to be repeatedly movable in the horizontal direction, when the relay board is arranged at the approximate center in the moving area where the electronic board connected to the movable member moves, the electronic member The distance from the relay board is the longest when the moving member is located at the left end or the right end of the moving region. Whether the electronic board is located at the left end or the right end, the electronic board is separated by substantially the same distance as the relay board. Therefore, the length of the wiring connecting the electronic board and the relay board can be the distance from the relay board in a state where the electronic member is located at either end.

  However, for example, in a gaming machine in which the movable member is configured to be repeatedly movable in the horizontal direction, when the relay board is arranged on the left side of the center in the region where the electronic board connected to the movable member is movable, The electronic substrate and the relay substrate are farther in the state where the electronic substrate is located at the right end than the state where the electronic substrate is located at the left end. Therefore, the length of the wiring is required to connect at least the electronic board and the relay board in a state where the electronic board is located at the right end. In such a configuration, when the electronic board is located at the left end, the distance between the electronic board and the relay board is shorter than the length of the wiring, and the wiring is loosened as compared with the state where the electronic board is located at the right end. When the wiring is loosened, there is a risk of disconnection due to the hooking of the wiring when the electronic substrate moves, or the wiring may be bent and disconnected at an unintended location due to repeated movement of the electronic substrate.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an electronic board that moves along a predetermined direction and a fixed electronic board are connected by wiring, and the positions of the electronic boards move between the electronic boards. An object of the present invention is to provide a wiring storage structure and a gaming machine that can suppress problems such as disconnection of wiring in configurations having different distances.

  A wiring storage structure as an exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a first electronic substrate that can repeatedly move in a moving region along a predetermined direction, and a second electronic substrate that is fixed outside the moving region of the first electronic substrate. The first electronic board is configured to be movable between a first position and a second position, which are both ends in the moving region, The electronic board is arranged so as to be closer to the first position than the second position, the wiring has flexibility, and one end is connected to the first electronic board and is connected to the first electronic board in a predetermined direction. The other end is connected to the second electronic substrate, the wiring on one end extending from the first electronic substrate and the wiring on the other end extending from the second electronic substrate are: It is bent in a direction different from the extending direction by the extending direction changing means, The outgoing direction changing means moves the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate and the first guiding portion for guiding the wiring extending from the first electronic substrate toward the storage area arranged in the vicinity of the second electronic substrate. And a second guide part for once guiding in a direction away from the region.

  The first electronic substrate is configured to be movable along a predetermined direction within a moving region whose both ends are a first position and a second position, and the second electronic substrate is outside the moving region and is second It is fixed closer to the first position than the position. The distance between the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate varies depending on the position of the first electronic substrate, and the first position is shorter than the second position. The length of the wiring needs to be at least long enough that the first electronic substrate can connect the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate at the second position. When the first electronic substrate is at the first position, the distance between the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate is shortened, and the looseness of the wiring is increased. That is, when the first electronic substrate is in the first position, the wiring is longer than the necessary length for connecting the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate, and the wiring is left in a surplus state. This excess wiring length will be described below as an extra length.

  The first electronic substrate repeatedly moves in a moving direction along a predetermined direction, and repeatedly realizes a state where the looseness of the wiring is small and a state where the looseness of the wiring is large depending on the arrangement of the first electronic substrate. At the first position where the looseness of the wiring becomes large, since the distance between the second electronic substrate and the first electronic substrate is short, there is a possibility that the excessively long wiring is refracted at an unintended location. However, the present invention has a storage area for storing the excessive length of wiring, and the extension direction changing means guides the wiring extending from the first electronic board toward the storage area. When the substrate is arranged at the first position, it is possible to accommodate the excessive length of wiring and suppress problems such as disconnection of the wiring.

  The first electronic board and the second electronic board are boards having a conductor pattern necessary for electrically connecting components, and are, for example, a concept including a printed wiring board and a module board. The wiring can electrically connect the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate and has flexibility, and examples thereof include a flexible flat cable and a harness.

  The extending direction changing means guides the wiring extending from the first electronic substrate toward the storage area, and the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate is guided in a direction once separated from the moving area. And a second guide part. The 1st guide part should just be the structure which bends the wiring extended from the 1st electronic board to the direction which goes to a storage area from a predetermined direction. For example, a configuration in which the first electronic substrate is guided in a different direction from the traveling direction as a shape that blocks the front from the first position in the traveling direction from the second position to the first position. Can be illustrated.

  The first guide portion may be movable together with the first electronic substrate, and may be configured to always guide the wiring toward the storage area, or is fixed at a predetermined position and the first electronic substrate is close to the first position. For example, the first electronic board may be configured to guide the wiring toward the storage area when the first electronic substrate is in a predetermined position, such as a structure in which the wiring is brought into contact with the wiring. Furthermore, the first guide part may be arranged in a moving area where the first electronic substrate moves, or may be arranged on an extension line in a predetermined direction of the moving area. By disposing the first guide portion in the moving region or the like, the moving direction of the wiring that moves together with the first electronic substrate can be blocked, and the wiring can be easily guided from a direction along a predetermined direction to a different direction.

  By guiding the wiring from the direction along the predetermined direction toward the storage area by the first guide portion configured in this way, the wiring of the surplus length can be routed in the predetermined direction in the state where the first electronic substrate is at the first position. And can lead to different directions. For example, when there is no storage area for the extra length of wiring in the vicinity of the moving area along the predetermined direction, there is no space for absorbing the extra length of wiring, and the wiring is bent at an unintended location, etc. May cause problems. However, by guiding the wiring extending from the first electronic substrate to the storage area by the first guide portion, it is possible to prevent the wiring from being bent at an unintended location and to prevent problems such as disconnection of the wiring.

  The second guide portion may be configured to once guide the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate in the direction away from the moving region. For example, as a shape that contacts the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate, a configuration in which the wiring is guided in a direction away from the moving region by contacting the wiring can be exemplified. By once guiding the wiring away from the moving region, a region extending from the second electronic substrate can be guided in the direction away from the first electronic substrate to absorb the extra length of wiring. The second guide portion only needs to be able to guide the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate in a direction away from the moving region at least at any location, and may be disposed adjacent to the second electronic substrate. The second electronic substrate may be disposed apart from the second electronic substrate, or may be integrated with the second electronic substrate.

  The first guide part has an inclined surface that can come into contact with the wiring extending from the first electronic substrate, and the wiring is preferably guided toward the storage area along the inclined surface. According to this configuration, it is possible to smoothly guide the wiring extending from the first electronic board toward the storage area along the inclined surface. Further, by making the portion in contact with the wiring planar, it is possible to prevent the wiring from being caught as compared with the configuration having protrusions and steps, and it is possible to further suppress problems such as the disconnection of the wiring. Furthermore, since the direction in which the wiring should be guided can be changed as appropriate by changing the inclination angle of the inclined surface, even when the arrangement of the storage area is changed due to a design change or the like, it is possible to cope with it appropriately. .

  The second guide portion desirably has a function of guiding the wiring once in a direction away from the moving area and a function of guiding the wiring toward the storage area. By configuring the wiring to be guided to the storage area by the second guide portion, the second electronic board side of the wiring can also be guided toward the storage area. Since the first guide portion guides the first electronic substrate side of the wiring to the storage area, it is possible to guide the wiring from both sides of the first electronic substrate side and the second electronic substrate side to the storage area. Therefore, it becomes easy to reliably lead the excessive length of wiring to the storage area, and it is possible to further suppress problems caused by bending of the wiring. The function of guiding the wiring once in the direction away from the moving area and the function of guiding the wiring toward the storage area may be configured to be performed simultaneously by the same part of the second guiding portion. You may be comprised so that it may be exhibited separately by another site | part of a 2nd guide part.

  It is desirable that the second guide portion has a rib that is arranged to face the side surface of the second electronic substrate from which the wiring extends and bends the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate in a direction away from the moving region. According to the second guide portion having this configuration, the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate can be bent toward the storage area, and the bent wiring can be guided toward the storage area along the rib. Therefore, it is possible to more reliably guide the wiring extending from the second electronic substrate to the storage area and store the excessive length of wiring in the storage area.

  In addition, it is desirable that a storage chamber that covers at least one side surface of the storage area is further provided. The storage area is an area where extra-length wiring is stored, and when parts are arranged around the storage area, problems such as disconnection due to the stored wiring being caught by the surrounding parts, etc. May occur. However, by providing a storage chamber that covers one side surface of the storage area in which the components and the like are arranged around, interference with the surrounding components can be prevented and problems based on the surrounding components and the like can be suppressed.

  Further, by providing the storage chamber, it is possible to store the wiring along the inner surface of the storage chamber, and it is possible to smoothly store the wiring. For example, if the wiring extending from the second electronic board is used as the second guide portion, the wiring is guided from both sides by guiding the bent wiring between the inner surface of the storage chamber and the rib. Thus, the wiring can be smoothly stored in the storage area.

  Moreover, it is desirable that the second electronic substrate is disposed so as to overlap the moving region in a direction orthogonal to the predetermined direction. According to this configuration, it is possible to increase the efficiency of the arrangement space of the wiring storage structure. By increasing the efficiency of this arrangement space, it is possible to relatively improve the degree of freedom of the arrangement space for other parts in a gaming machine in which parts are arranged in a limited area.

  Furthermore, it is desirable that the storage area is disposed below the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate. The storage area is an area in which wirings extending from the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate and connecting each other are stored. By disposing the storage area below the first electronic board and the second electronic board, it becomes easier to guide the wiring extended from each electronic board or the like due to the weight of the wiring to the storage area, and the wiring can be smoothly moved into the storage area. It can be made easy to guide. Note that “below the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate in which the storage area is disposed” is a vertically downward direction in which the wiring hangs down due to its own weight. Further, the storage area is not limited to the configuration arranged immediately below the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate, and is arranged so that the wiring extending from the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate is suspended and guided. It is a concept that includes a configuration.

  A gaming machine according to another exemplary aspect of the present invention includes a gaming device body that realizes a game, and a gaming machine frame that includes the gaming device body, and the gaming machine frame or the gaming device body includes The wiring storage structure described above is provided. This gaming machine has a storage area for storing a surplus length of wiring, and a wiring extending from the first electronic board by the extending direction changing means is provided in a storage area arranged in the vicinity of the second electronic board. Therefore, when the first electronic board is arranged at the first position, the excessively long wiring is guided to the storage area, and problems such as disconnection of the wiring can be suppressed. Furthermore, according to the gaming machine having this configuration, it is possible to improve the reliability of the gaming machine by preventing problems such as unintentional disconnection, and to allow the player to play the game with peace of mind.

  Note that the game device body is a game machine that realizes a game in a game machine, for example, a pachinko machine, a game board that realizes a game by the flow of game media, and a slot machine, by a combination of pictures. The reel which implement | achieves a game can be illustrated.

  The gaming machine frame is a frame member or a group of frame members that encloses the gaming apparatus body and surrounds the side and front of the gaming apparatus body. For example, when the gaming machine is a pachinko gaming machine, a housing frame, a machine frame, a front frame, or a combination of these that includes a gaming board as a gaming device body corresponds to the gaming machine frame, and the gaming machine is a slot. In the case of a machine, a cabinet (casing frame and / or front frame) containing a reel (rotating device) as a gaming apparatus body corresponds to the gaming machine frame. Of course, in a gaming machine other than a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine, a frame member that includes a gaming device body (for example, a gaming board in a coin gaming machine or a game image display device in an arcade machine) that realizes gaming in those gaming machines. Etc. correspond to this gaming machine frame.

  Further objects and other features of the present invention will become apparent from the preferred embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

  According to the present invention, in the configuration in which the distance between the first electronic substrate and the second electronic substrate is different between the first position and the second position, which are both ends of the moving region of the first electronic substrate, In the state where the distance of the board becomes short and the wiring is left, the extension direction changing means guides the excessive length of the wiring toward the storage area, so that the excessive length of the wiring is stored in the storage area and the wiring is disconnected. It becomes possible to suppress defects.

It is possible to prevent problems such as disconnection of the wiring 40h.

  Furthermore, based on FIG. 13, the positional relationship between the positions of the first movable combination 40a and the second movable combination and the storage area of the wiring will be described. FIG. 13 is an explanatory diagram showing the positional relationship between the positions of the first movable accessory 40a and the second movable accessory 7e and the storage area of the wiring 40h. In FIG. 13, the second movable accessory 7e is schematically shown by a dotted line in the front view of the accessory unit 40 for the sake of explanation. The first movable accessory 40a slides between a position where the accessory substrate 40d is at the first position (dotted line in FIG. 13) and a position where the accessory substrate 40d is at the second position (solid line in FIG. 13). . The second movable accessory 7e is disposed on the upper right side of the accessory unit 40, and moves in the rotational direction about an axis (not shown) disposed on the left side surface. That is, the movement area of the second movable accessory 7e is a front area including the position in FIG. The storage area of the wiring 40h is disposed outside the movement area of the first movable accessory 40a and the second movable accessory 7e. Since the guide direction of the wiring 40h can be changed by the inclined surface 40m and the rib 40n, the wiring 40h can be accurately guided to the storage area arranged in relation to other components.

  Next, a game using the game medium of the gaming machine configured as described above will be described. When the ball 23 is launched by a ball launching device (not shown), the ball 23 travels along the inner peripheral surface of the rail decoration and reaches the upper part in the game area 16. Thereafter, the ball 23 moves along a plurality of passing trajectories and flows down the game area 16 while colliding with the game nail. Some will flow into the regular winning opening 28 and trigger a certain number of prize ball payouts, some will pass through the pass gate 33, and some will not flow into any winning opening at the bottom of the game area. It flows into the out port 30 located and is discharged to the outside of the pachinko machine 2 as an out ball. Then, with the inflow of the ball 23 into the winning opening, etc., an effect is provided by the symbol display device 7a, the first movable accessory 40a and the second movable accessory 7e.

  When the ball 23 passes through the passage gate 33, lottery is performed by a state change lottery means (not shown) due to the passage of the passage gate 33. When the lottery result is a win, the opening / closing blades of the central starting port 29 Is opened, and a state where the ball is easy to enter is realized. When it flows into the central starting port 29, the display symbol 7c of the symbol display device 7a starts to rotate due to the inflow, and the display symbol 7c is a predetermined symbol (for example, “7, 7, 7”). If the stop display is made, a big hit in the symbol variation game occurs. The central grand prize opening 31 is opened to accept a large amount of winning balls, and a large amount of prize balls are paid out to the storage tray 14.
