Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a substrate sealing device that seals a predetermined substrate so as not to be opened and closed, and in particular, a substrate that seals a relay substrate to which a signal from an operation unit operated by a player is input cannot be opened and closed. The present invention relates to a gaming machine including a sealing device.

There is known a gaming machine including a predetermined relay board to which a signal from an operation unit operated by a player is input. For example, the slot machine includes operation units on which operation tools such as a start lever for starting the rotation of the reel and a stop button for stopping the rotation of the reel are arranged, and these operation units detect a player's operation. A switch or the like is provided.
And the input signal detected in these switches is inputted into a predetermined relay board via a connection cable connected to the switch, and further, the main board for controlling the gaming machine from the relay board via the connection cable As a result, the player's input operation is transmitted to the main board, and a series of games progresses.

In recent years, fraudulent acts targeting the above-described relay boards are increasing. For example, in a slot machine, there is a case where an improper part called a “driving machine” that artificially generates a predetermined signal associated with a player's operation is attached via a connector.
The “driving machine” is an unauthorized part that artificially generates an input signal related to the operation of these players. The regular connector is removed from the connector provided on the relay board, and instead from the “driving machine”. A connector for inputting a pseudo signal is attached, and the pseudo signal is input to the main board to automatically advance a series of games.
As a result, for example, when a winning of a big bonus is detected, the operation of the “driving machine” is stopped, the game hall is opened in this state, and the game machine is provided to the player, so-called “morning service” There is also a game arcade that provides a service called “A”. Such an act is a cause of misunderstanding of the player's gambling and excessive investment of game funds.

Therefore, a substrate sealing device has been proposed in which the relay substrate disposed on the back surface of the door having the operation unit is covered with a cover member, and the cover member cannot be attached and detached using a predetermined pin material (caulking member). (For example, refer to Patent Document 1).
According to such a substrate sealing device, cutting or destruction of the pin material is required when removing the cover member, and this cutting trace or destruction trace remains as a trace of removing the cover member, so that it is difficult to conceal fraud. In addition, even if an illegal act is performed, it is possible to discover the fact by confirming the cutting trace or the destruction trace.

JP 2009-56067 A

However, the conventional substrate sealing apparatus has the following problems.
In the conventional substrate sealing device that uses a pin material to make the cover member non-detachable, the pin material is inserted and locked across a plurality of openings, but the cover member is forcibly removed. With respect to the external force, the pin can be bent and fall off due to the continuous external force applied to the free end side in the same state as the cantilever beam.
In particular, as shown in Patent Document 1, a cover member that is detachably sealed with a single pin member extending in a direction perpendicular to the substrate surface is relatively relatively easy to use by using a cover member mounting backlash or the like. Since it is possible to easily apply external force to the pin material, there is a high possibility that it will be opened illegally.

Further, the substrate sealing device is normally configured to release the sealed state by cutting or destroying the pin material with a cutting tool such as a nipper.
Since the substrate sealing apparatus may be opened for a legitimate purpose such as confirming unauthorized modification to the substrate, a plurality of spare pin materials for resealing are provided.
However, since the spare pin material is set in advance in the gaming machine, it may be forged by removing it. If counterfeit goods are put on the market, resealing can be easily performed, which may lead to fraud.

  The present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-described problems, and seals two members that accommodate the relay substrate in an openable / closable manner through a predetermined pin material so as not to be opened / closed. However, even if an external force is applied to the pin material through each member, the gaming machine is equipped with a substrate sealing device that can maintain a sealed state with an extremely high sealing force and reliably prevent unauthorized opening of each member. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve the above object, a gaming machine of the present invention includes a predetermined relay board to which a signal from an operation unit operated by a player is input, two members that can be opened and closed, and a predetermined pin. And a sealing part that seals the members together through a material so as to be unopenable and closable. Is provided in each member, and communicates so that the pin member can be inserted in the closed state of the member, and is opened through the opening and an opening that opens in a direction substantially orthogonal to the opening and closing direction of the member. Each of the openings is disposed such that one member-side opening sandwiches the other member-side opening, and the sealing portion is , Formed on the left and right ends of each member, and the pin material is Toward the inside from the substrate sealing device outside, it is constituted to be engaged with the respective engaging portion by the pressing operation along a substantially horizontal direction.

  As described above, according to the present invention, the two members that accommodate the relay substrate in an openable / closable manner are sealed so as not to be opened / closed via a predetermined pin material, and the pin material is provided via each member. Even if an external force is applied, the sealing state can be maintained by an extremely high sealing force, and unauthorized opening of each member can be reliably prevented.

[Relay board]
FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view showing a front door of the slot machine according to the embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the relay substrate 2 is disposed on the back side of the front door 100 a and at a position corresponding to the operation unit 140. The relay board 2 is a board to which a signal from the operation unit 140 operated by the player is input. Specifically, the relay board 2 is a switch that detects the operation of the start lever 142 and the stop buttons 143a, 143b, and 143c, and the medal selector 182.

The input operation is transmitted, and a series of games progress.

Such a relay board 2 is a board that can be a target of fraud. For example, a fraudulent part called a “driving machine” may be attached via a connector.
Therefore, in the slot machine 100 according to the present embodiment, the relay substrate 2 is accommodated in the substrate sealing device 1 and the substrate sealing device 1 is sealed so that it cannot be opened and closed, thereby preventing illegal acts on the relay substrate 2. Yes.
Hereinafter, the configuration of the substrate sealing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.

[Substrate sealing device]
The substrate sealing device 1 includes a cover member 3 that covers the component mounting surface 2a side of the relay substrate 2 and a base member 4 that covers the solder surface 2b side, as shown in the drawings.
The base member 4 is formed as a frame (window frame) surrounding the display window 150, and a substrate housing portion 42 that houses the relay substrate 2 is provided on the lower side thereof. The substrate housing portion 42 is recessed so as to accommodate the relay substrate 2, and the relay substrate 2 is fixed in the substrate housing portion 42 by a predetermined screw 6 (see FIGS. 3 and 6).
The cover member 3 is formed of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin (for example, polycarbonate) in which the component mounting surface 2a is visible from the outside and cannot be easily broken, and has a connector hole 3a for connecting a predetermined connection cable. In addition, a connector cover 3c is formed to cover the connector 2a-1 in a closed state (a state in which the cover member 3 and the base member 4 are overlapped with the relay substrate 2 interposed therebetween) (see FIGS. 4 and 8). .

  Each member 3 and 4 is provided with the engaging part which engages with each other so that opening and closing is impossible (temporarily fixed). As shown in FIGS. 6 and 9, the engaging portion of this embodiment is formed on the cover member 3 side, which is elastically deformed, and formed on the base member 4, and the engaging claw portion 3b When the substrate sealing device 1 is closed with the cover member 3, the engaging claw portion 3b is formed by an engaged portion (engagement hole 4a or engagement convex portion 4b) formed on the base member 4 side to be engaged. By passing the engaged portion in the deformed state and engaging the engaged portion from the back side in the restored state, the members 3 and 4 are engaged with each other so that they cannot be opened and closed. Thus, when the cover member 3 is mounted on the base member 4, there is an advantage that the cover member 3 can be temporarily fixed by engaging the engaging portion. Due to the engagement of the parts, the resistance against external force is increased, and the sealing force by the sealing pin 5 is further increased.

In addition, the substrate sealing device 1 includes a sealing portion that seals the cover member 3 and the base member 4 through the sealing pins 5 so that they cannot be opened and closed.
Specifically, the sealing portion is formed by the cover member side sealing portion 30 and the base member side sealing portion 40 protruding from the outer edges of the cover member 3 and the base member 4. The opening portions 311, 411, 412 that are opened in a direction perpendicular to the opening / closing direction of the opening portion and communicated so that the sealing pin 5 can be inserted in the closed state, and the sealing pins 5 inserted through the respective opening portions 311, 411, 412 When the sealing pin 5 is inserted from the opening 412 in a closed state in which the cover member 3 and the base member 4 are overlapped with each other, 5 is inserted over each of the openings 311, 411, 412, and is locked to the locking portion 31 b so as not to be removable, so that the cover member 3 and the base member 4 are sealed so that they cannot be opened and closed. (See FIG. 11).
Hereinafter, the configuration of each unit will be described in detail.

The cover member side sealing portion 30 and the base member side sealing portion 40 are portions that protrude from the outer edges of the members 3 and 4 substantially in parallel with the relay substrate 2. In this embodiment, the left and right sides of the members 3 and 4 It is provided at both ends. Each of the sealing portions 30 and 40 is formed with a convex portion 31 and a concave portion 41 which are fitted in a closed state.
The convex portion 31 is a portion that protrudes vertically toward the base member 4 (see FIG. 9), and the convex portion 31 is substantially parallel to the substrate surface of the relay substrate 2 that is perpendicular to the opening / closing direction, and An opening 311 that is open so that the sealing pin 5 can be inserted therethrough and a locking portion 31b that locks the sealing pin 5 are formed (see FIGS. 11 and 12).

As shown in FIGS. 10 and 11, the recess 41 is a portion that opens toward the cover member 3 and is recessed so that the protrusion 31 is accommodated in a closed state. A first opening 411 and a second opening 412 are formed which are substantially parallel to the substrate surface of the relay substrate 2, which is an orthogonal direction, and are opened so that the sealing pins 5 can be inserted therethrough.
The first opening portion 411 and the second opening portion 412 are located on the front end side and the rear end side of the inserted sealing pin 5, respectively, and in the closed state, the convex portion 31 (opening portion 311) is between them. It is supposed to be located.

Moreover, as shown in FIG.11 and FIG.12, the space 41a is provided in the recessed part 41. FIG. The space 41a is formed longer than the tip end portion (a head 51 described later) of the sealing pin 5 inserted into the first opening 411, and the cover member side sealing portion divided from the cover member 3 by the space 41a. By sliding 30 toward the second opening 412 side, the engagement between the first opening 411 and the sealing pin 5 is released (described later).
When the cover member 3 and the base member 4 are opened, the first opening 411 is changed from the open state shown in FIG. 11A to the closed state shown in FIGS. 11B and 12A. And the second opening 412 and the opening 311 arranged so as to be sandwiched therebetween communicate with each other so that the sealing pin 5 can be inserted.
At this time, the concave portion 41 is shielded from the outside by the cover member side sealing portion 30 serving as a lid.

The sealing pin 5 is an example of a pin material, and functions as a hook that seals the cover member 3 and the base member 4 so that they cannot be opened and closed by being inserted through the openings 311, 411, and 412. .
The sealing pin 5 is formed of a synthetic resin (for example, polycarbonate) that cannot be easily broken. As shown in FIG. 7, a head 51 that engages with the first opening 411, and a claw 52 that flexes elastically. The neck portion 53 is engaged with the engagement portion 31 b, and the body portion 54 is engaged with the opening 311 and the second opening 412.
The sealing pin 5 configured in this manner is inserted through the openings 311, 411, and 412 to seal the cover member 3 and the base member 4 so that they cannot be opened and closed as follows.

First, as shown in FIGS. 11B and 12A, the cover member 3 is overlapped with the base member 4 to be in a closed state, and the openings 311, 411, 412 are communicated.
Then, the head 51 is inserted into the second opening 412 and further sealed until the head 51 is engaged with the first opening 411 as shown in FIGS. 11 (c) and 12 (b). Push pin 5 in. As a result, the sealing pin 5 is inserted through the openings 311, 411, 412.

  In this state, for example, when an external force is applied to lift the cover member 3 to open the substrate sealing device 1, the upper surface of the first opening 411 and the head 51 come into contact with each other, and the bottom surface 31 a of the convex portion 31 and the trunk The front end side of the portion 54 abuts, and the upper surface of the second opening 412 and the rear end side of the body portion 54 abut, so that the sealing pin 5 acts to prevent the substrate sealing apparatus 1 from being opened. That is, the sealing pin 5 operates as a hook and seals the cover member 3 and the base member 4.

Furthermore, since each opening part 311,411,412 is arrange | positioned so that the 1st opening part 411 and the 2nd opening part 412 may pinch | interpose the opening part 311, the sealing force by the sealing pin 5 is as follows. Increase.
The sealing pin 5 is supported by the first opening 411 and the second opening 412 at both ends against an external force to open the substrate sealing device 1, and the opening 311 ( For example, a force is received from the bottom surface 31a). As a result, the external force is not applied only to one end as in the case of one-end support, and an equal force is applied to the entire sealing pin 5, so that the resistance to the external force is remarkably improved. Thereby, the sealing force by the sealing pin 5 can be increased.

Further, the sealing pin 5 in the pushed-in state is locked so as not to be removed from each of the openings 311, 411, 412.
Specifically, the locking portion 31b is formed narrower than the respective opening portions 311, 411, 412, and the claw portion 52 passes through the locking portion 31b while being elastically deformed when pushed, When the portion 31b is exceeded, restoration is performed. As a result, the locking portion 31 b is sandwiched between the end portion of the claw portion 52 and the trunk portion 54. In other words, the neck 53 is locked to the locking portion 31b, and the sealing pin 5 cannot be removed.
In this state, since the concave portion 41 is shielded from the outside by the cover member side sealing portion 30, the claw portion 52 cannot be operated from the outside.

  The relay board 2 in such a state is shut off from the outside by the cover member 3, and the connector 2a-1 is covered with the connector cover 3c together with the connector of the connection cable connected thereto. It becomes impossible to withdraw. This prevents attachment of unauthorized parts such as a “driving machine” to the relay board 2.

Further, as shown in FIGS. 5 and 8, the cover member side sealing portion 30 is formed integrally with the cover member 3 via the joint portions 32 a and 32 b on the cover member 3.
The joint portions 32a and 32b are formed in a beam shape that can be cut with a cutting tool such as a nipper, and when the joint portions 32a and 32b are cut, the cover member side sealing portion 30 can slide to the second opening 412 side. The engagement between the first opening 411 and the sealing pin 5 (head 51) is released, and the cover member 3 and the base member 4 can be opened (described later).
In other words, when the cover member 3 is removed, the joint portions 32a and 32b are required to be cut, and the cut trace remains as a trace from which the cover member 3 has been removed. Even if an act is performed, it becomes possible to discover the fact by confirming the cutting trace.

Next, the operation of opening the substrate sealing device 1 will be described with reference to FIG.
First, as shown in FIG. 13A, the joint portions 32a and 32b are cut using a cutting tool such as a nipper.
Since the cover member side sealing portion 30 is separated from the cover member 3 by cutting the joint portions 32a and 32b, the cover member 3 is not only the cover member side sealing portion 30 but also the base member 4 accordingly. The relationship with is also lost. Thereby, the cover member 3 can be opened and the relay substrate 2 can be taken out.

Moreover, as shown in FIG.13 (b), the cover member side sealing part 30 and the base member side sealing part 40 are made into the following by sliding the divided cover member side sealing part 30 to the arrow direction, as shown in FIG.13 (b). Can be separated.
The recess 41 is provided with a space 41a in which the head 51 inserted in the first opening 411 can be removed, and as shown in the figure, the cover member side sealing portion 30 is placed on the second opening 412 side. By sliding, the engagement between the first opening 411 and the sealing pin 5 (head 51) is released.

  On the other hand, although the second opening 412 is still engaged with the body 54 of the sealing pin 5, as shown in FIG. 13 (c), the divided cover member side sealing part 30 is operated in the direction of the arrow. Since it is possible, it can take out from the recessed part 41 with the sealing pin 5 which latched the cover member side sealing part 30, and can separate the cover member side sealing part 30 from the base member side sealing part 40. .

And the sealing pin 5 can be easily removed from the cover member side sealing part 30 separated in this way as follows.
Specifically, in the cover member side sealing portion 30 taken out, the bottom portion 31a or the like is cut using a cutting tool such as a nipper, and the locking portion 31b locked to the neck portion 53 is cut off, or the nail is cut. By applying an external force to the portion 52 to elastically deform it and removing it from the locking portion 31b, it is possible to easily remove the sealing pin 5 from the cover member side sealing portion 30 without cutting or destroying the sealing pin 5.
The sealing pin 5 can be used when the substrate sealing device 1 is resealed.

In addition, when the substrate sealing apparatus 1 is normally opened for the purpose of inspection or the like, the opening operation is performed with the substrate sealing apparatus 1 removed from the front door 100a.
Then, after the inspection or the like is completed, the cover member 3 is replaced with a new one, the substrate sealing device 1 is resealed, and then attached to the front door 100a again.

Next, the arrangement of the sealing portions 30 and 40 in the substrate sealing apparatus 1 and the arrangement of the substrate sealing apparatus 1 in the slot machine 100 will be described with reference to FIGS.
As shown in these drawings, the substrate sealing device 1 of the present embodiment is formed as a window frame surrounding the display window 150, and is attached to the back side of the front door 100a with a predetermined screw or the like.
Since each sealing part 30 and 40 in this state is located in the right-and-left both ends of each member 3 and 4, sealing pin 5 is the inside from the said apparatus outside with respect to each sealing part 30 and 40, respectively. It will be latched by each latching | locking part 31b by pushing operation along the substantially horizontal direction which goes to.
Thus, since the board | substrate sealing apparatus 1 is sealed with the two sealing parts 30 and 40 spaced apart on either side, the sealing force by the sealing pin 5 further increases.
Moreover, since each sealing part 30 and 40 is formed in the left-right both ends of each member 3 and 4 along a horizontal direction, after cut | disconnecting the junction parts 32a and 32b of the cover member side sealing part 30 illegally Even if an attempt is made to repair with an adhesive or the like, the downward movement due to the weight of the cover member side sealing portion 30 can prevent the repair, and leave an improper opening trace.

Furthermore, the substrate sealing apparatus 1 of the present embodiment is disposed at a position that prevents unauthorized opening in the slot machine 100.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the front door base 110, which is the base of the front door 100a, has two side walls 111 erected in parallel on the back surface side. 1 is disposed between the two side walls 111, and the distance between the two side walls 111 is substantially the same as the outer shape (lateral width) of the substrate sealing device 1.
That is, each sealing part 30 and 40 is arrange | positioned in the inner side vicinity of the side wall 111, and the space which inserts and removes the sealing pin 5 illegally is eliminated.
Specifically, as described above, in order to remove the head 51 inserted into the first opening 411 after cutting the joint portions 32a and 32b, the cover member side sealing portion 30 is set to the second. Although it is necessary to slide to the opening part 412 side, since each sealing part 30 and 40 was arrange | positioned in the inner side vicinity of the side wall 111, a hand is inserted between each sealing part 30 and 40 and the side wall 111, and it slides. The space to be made is eliminated. As a result, unauthorized opening of the substrate sealing device 1 can be made more difficult, and unauthorized acts on the relay substrate 2 can be prevented.

As described above, according to the slot machine 100 including the substrate sealing device 1 according to the present embodiment, even if an external force is applied to the sealing pin 5 through the members 3 and 4, an extremely high sealing force is obtained. While keeping the sealed state, it is possible to surely prevent the members 3 and 4 from being illegally opened, and the sealing pin 5 can be taken out and reused after opening.
Moreover, since the distance between the two side walls 111 arranged in parallel to the back surface of the front door 100a is formed to be substantially the same as the outer shape of the substrate sealing device 1 disposed between them, the sealing portions 30, 40 are formed. The space for illegally inserting and removing the sealing pin 5 can be eliminated on the outer side of the substrate, and as a result, the unauthorized opening of the substrate sealing device 1 can be made more difficult, and illegal acts on the relay substrate 2 can be prevented. .

  As mentioned above, although the preferred embodiment was shown and demonstrated about the game machine provided with the board | substrate sealing device of this invention, the game machine provided with the board | substrate sealing device which concerns on this invention is not limited only to embodiment mentioned above. Needless to say, various modifications can be made within the scope of the present invention.
