  FIG. 10 is an enlarged view of the connector portion of FIG.

  In the third embodiment, the first connector 200a2 provided on the game board 200 which is the first part and the second connector 104a2 provided on the main body 104 which is the second part are connected, and the first The structure which connects the 3rd connector 200a1 provided in the game board 200 which is these components, and the 4th connector 104a1 provided in the main body 104 which is the 2nd components is shown.

  The first connector 200a2 comes into contact with the game board 200 at its contact surface 200a2s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  Between the second connector 104a2 and the main body 104, a connector connecting portion 104b2 is provided. The second connector 104a2 is in contact with the connector connecting portion 104b2 at its contact surface 104a2s, and the second connector 104a2 is electrically connected to the main body 104 via the connector connecting portion 104b2.

  Between the third connector 200a1 and the game board 200, a connector connection portion 200b1 is provided. The third connector 200a1 is in contact with the connector connecting portion 200b1 at the contact surface 200a1s, and the third connector 200a1 is mounted on the game board 200 by being electrically connected via the connector connecting portion 200b1.

  The fourth connector 104a1 is in contact with the main body 104 at its contact surface 104a1s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  The main body 104 has a support portion 104 d that rotatably supports one end of the game board 200 and a housing portion 104 e that houses the game board 200. The support portion 104d has a protruding portion 104c that holds down one end of the inserted game board 200 so as not to come off. The game board 200 having one end inserted into the support portion 104d is rotated around the one end to be opened and closed. It is possible. When the game board 200 is closed, the game board 200 is housed in the housing portion 104 e of the main body 104.

  By closing the game board 200, the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 are pressed and connected, and the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are pressed and connected. When the game board 200 is opened, the connection between the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 and the connection between the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are released.

  Here, considering the distance from the support portion 104d to each connector, the distance L1 (see FIG. 9B) from the support portion 104d to the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 is as follows. The distance is shorter than the distance L2 (see FIG. 9B) to the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1. In this case, when the game board 200 is closed, the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 are first contacted, and the next contact is the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1. It is. In the case of the first contact, the wobble between the game board 200 and the main body 104 is large, and there is a momentum for closing and the possibility of breakage is high. In contrast, in the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1, contact and connection between the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 proceed, and the game board 200 and the main body 104 are wobbled or closed. Therefore, the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are less likely to be damaged than the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2.

  The distance from the support portion 104d to the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 may be longer than the distance from the support portion 104d to the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1, In this case, the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are more likely to be damaged than the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2.

Further, the predetermined surface of the game board 200 as the first component is parallel to the contact surface 200a2s of the first connector 200a2, and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 200a2s on the opposite side to the first connector 200a2. Then, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion of the first connector 200a2 that comes into contact with the second connector 104a2 (the first contact portion when the player attempts to close the game board 200 may be used, or the game board 200 is closed. The height of the first electrode may be H1 (see FIG. 10).
Further, the predetermined surface of the main body 104 that is the second component is parallel to the contact surface 104a2s of the second connector 104a2 and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 104a2s on the opposite side to the second connector 104a2. At this time, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion that contacts the first connector 200a2 in the second connector 104a2 via the connector connection portion 104b2 (the first contact position when trying to close the game board 200, The height may be H2 (see FIG. 10) until the electrode portion that contacts first when the game board 200 is to be closed.
Further, the predetermined surface of the game board 200 as the first component is parallel to the contact surface 200a1s of the third connector 200a1, and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 200a1s on the opposite side to the third connector 200a1. Then, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion that contacts the fourth connector 104a1 in the third connector 200a1 via the connector connection portion 200b1 (the first contact point when the game board 200 is to be closed may be used. , It may be the electrode portion that contacts first when the game board 200 is to be closed.) Until the height is H3 (see FIG. 10),
Further, the predetermined surface of the main body 104 which is the second component is parallel to the contact surface 104a1s of the fourth connector 104a1 and is the surface farthest from the contact surface 104a1s on the opposite side to the fourth connector 104a1. Sometimes, from this predetermined surface, the contact portion of the fourth connector 104a1 that makes contact with the third connector 200a1 (the first contact portion when the game board 200 is to be closed may be used, or the game board 200 may be closed. If the height is up to H4 (see FIG. 10),
If the distance from the support portion 104d to each connector is the same, this higher height connector is more likely to break.

  Accordingly, in this example, the first connector 200a2 and the second connector 104a2 are more likely to be damaged because the second connector 104a2 protrudes and is higher in height. Recognize.

  From this, if the second connector 104a2 is inspected and is normal, the first connector 200a2, the third connector 200a1 and the fourth connector 104a1 are also normal, and it is not necessary to further inspect these. There is a case.

  The first part and the second part (for example, the main body 104) are used as the predetermined surface of the first part that serves as a reference for the height of the connector provided on the first part (for example, the game board 200). The first part may be a surface that comes into contact with the second part when the corresponding connectors are assembled and connected. Of the connectors provided in the first component, the connector protruding to the second component side with respect to the predetermined surface is more likely to be damaged.

  Similarly, the second part and the first part (for example, the game board 200) are used as the predetermined surface of the second part that serves as a reference for the height of the connector provided on the second part (for example, the main body 104). The second component may be a surface that contacts the first component when the corresponding connectors are connected to each other. Of the connectors provided in the second component, the connector protruding to the first component side with respect to the predetermined surface is more likely to be damaged.

FIG. 14C is a rear view of the board 200, and FIG. 14C is an enlarged view showing a portion surrounded by a circle D of a one-dot chain line shown in FIG.

  In the third embodiment, the first connector 104a3 provided on the main body 104, which is the first component, and the second connector 200a3 provided on the game board 200, which is the second component, are connected, and the first connector The structure which connects the 3rd connector 104a4 provided in the main body 104 which is these parts, and the 4th connector 200a4 provided in the game board 200 which is the 2nd parts is shown.

  The first connector 104a3 is in contact with the main body 104 at its contact surface 104a3s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  Between the second connector 200a3 and the game board 200, a connector connecting portion 200b3 is provided. The second connector 200a3 is in contact with the connector connection portion 200b3 at the contact surface 200a3s, and the second connector 200a3 is mounted on the game board 200 by being electrically connected via the connector connection portion 200b3.

  Between the third connector 104a4 and the main body 104, a connector connecting portion 104b4 is provided. The third connector 104a4 is in contact with the connector connecting portion 104b4 at the contact surface 104a4s, and the third connector 104a4 is electrically connected to the main body 104 via the connector connecting portion 104b4 and mounted.

  The fourth connector 200a4 comes into contact with the game board 200 at its contact surface 200a4s and is electrically connected and mounted.

  The main body 104 has a support portion 104 d that rotatably supports one end of the game board 200 and a housing portion 104 e that houses the game board 200. The support portion 104d has a protruding portion 104c that holds down one end of the inserted game board 200 so as not to come off. The game board 200 having one end inserted into the support portion 104d is rotated around the one end to be opened and closed. It is possible. When the game board 200 is closed, the game board 200 is housed in the housing portion 104 e of the main body 104.

  By closing the game board 200, the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3 are pressed and connected, and the third connector 104a4 and the fourth connector 200a4 are pressed and connected. When the game board 200 is opened, the connection between the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3 and the connection between the third connector 104a4 and the fourth connector 200a4 are released.

  Here, referring to FIGS. 14B and 14C, the length of the long side of the connection surface of the second connector 200a3 (the length of the side in contact with the connection partner connector) L4 is the fourth length. It is shorter than the length L3 of the long side in the connection surface of the connector 200a4. If the length of the long side of the connection surface, that is, the length of the side that contacts simultaneously with the connector of the connection partner is long, the contact and impact of collision when connecting the connectors may be dispersed and may not be easily damaged.

  Therefore, in this example, the length of the long side of the connection surface of the second connector 200a3 is shorter than the length of the long side of the connection surface of the fourth connector 200a4, and the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3. In the first connector 104a3 and the second connector 200a3, the second connector 200a3 protrudes and is higher in height than the second connector 200a3. It can be seen that 200a3 has the highest possibility of breakage.

The connector 707b is mounted by contacting the contact surface 707bs with the main body 104 and connecting with, for example, solder. The connector 707c is mounted by contacting the contact surface 707cs with the main body 104 and connecting them with, for example, solder. At this time, the height of the connector 707a is increased by a connector connecting portion (not shown).

  By configuring as described above, the connector 707a can be configured to be most easily damaged, and the connector 707a may be inspected without inspecting all the connectors at the time of inspecting the connectors.

  In addition, in a plurality of connectors, only the most easily damaged ones may be inspected, or only some of the plurality of connectors are targeted and some of them are most damaged. In some cases, it is possible to know the state of damage to other connectors by inspection of easy-to-use items.

  In addition, the connector with a longer long side is less likely to break due to the impact at the time of connection being dispersed, but by preparing a connector with a short long side so that it is easy to break intentionally, checking the damage, Although it can be configured so that the damaged state of the other connector can be known, in this case, since the connector having a short long side is inexpensive, the damaged state of the other connector may be known with an inexpensive configuration.

At this time, the height of the connector 707a is increased by a connector connecting portion (not shown).

  In the present embodiment, on the game frame 104 side, each of the connector 707a, the connector 707b, and the connector 707c is not mounted on the board, and a harness or the like is directly attached, for example, connected to the power supply board 710.

  In addition, as shown in FIGS. 26A and 26B, in this embodiment, a capacitor 711 which is, for example, an electrolytic double layer capacitor is mounted on the panel main control connection board 705.

  FIG. 27 is a circuit diagram showing an example of the wiring state of the board frame main control connection board 705.

  For example, printed wiring is applied to the board frame main control connection board 705, and the connector 705a, the connector 706a, and the capacitor 711 are connected thereto.

  The connector 705a and the connector 706a are set so that the connectors 705a pins 5 and 6 for supplying power to the capacitor 711 are set as inner pins excluding both end pins (A1-1 and B10-22) so that they are not easily short-circuited from outside. , GND (ground) was set to the pins at both ends. In addition, a signal line that may cause an abnormal operation when an illegal short circuit is externally applied to the pins at both ends may be set. For example, the power supply lines (DC12DV, DC12DS) generated by the power supply board 710 are set to the pins at both ends, and an abnormal operation occurs when an illegal short circuit is caused from the outside, thereby facilitating the detection of the abnormality. Also good. For example, a gaming machine external signal output line for outputting a signal to the outside of the gaming machine may be set at both ends of the pin so that an abnormal signal is output when an illegal short circuit is performed from the outside, thereby facilitating the discovery of the abnormality. .

  The connector 705a and the connector 706a are connected to transmit power supplied from the power supply board 710, and the capacitor 711 is connected to at least the connector 705a so that the charged power can be supplied to the main control board 702. Yes.

  FIG. 28 is a plan view showing the arrangement of components on the panel frame main control connection board 705.

  As shown in FIG. 28, in this embodiment, a connector 705a, a connector 706a, and a capacitor 711 are mounted on a board frame main control connection board 705. These are, for example, the board frame main control connection board as described above. 705 is connected by printed wiring.

  FIGS. 29A and 29B are diagrams showing a board frame main control connection board 705 on which a connector 705a, a connector 706a, and a capacitor 711 are mounted. FIG. 29A is a plan view, and FIG. 29B is a view of FIG. It is a right view and (c) is the front view which looked at (a) from the lower part.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 29C, the height of the connector 705a is the lowest, the height L21 of the capacitor 711 is higher than the height L22 of the connector 706a, and the capacitor 711 is higher than the connector 705a and the connector 706a. Also equipped with a high position.

  The capacitor 711 is connected to the board frame main control connection board 705 by two legs (terminals). However, if the stress applied to the capacitor 711 is biased to one leg, the capacitor 711 is removed from the board frame main control connection board 705. Since the two legs (terminals) of the capacitor 711 are mounted on the board frame main control connection board 705, the orientation of the mounting of the board frame main control connection board 705 to the game board 200 is reduced. Depending on the orientation, the two legs (terminals) of the capacitor 711 may be arranged to be evenly tensioned. For example, when the game board 200 moves to the housing portion 104e of the game frame 104, it moves in the horizontal direction. At this time, even if the game board 200 contacts the capacitor 711, two legs ( The two legs (terminals) are arranged at two vertical positions so that the terminals are evenly tensioned.

  FIG. 30 is a side view showing a state in which the connector 706a and the connector 707a are connected in the example shown in FIG. 29, and FIG. 30 (a) is a view showing the connector 706a and the connector 707a facing each other in the connection direction. (B) is a diagram showing a state in which the connector 706a and the connector 707a are connected.

  In this embodiment, a storage hole 104z that can store the head of the capacitor 711 is provided in the game frame 104 to which the connector 707a is attached. The storage hole 104z has an opening that is approximately 1.2 times larger than the outer shape of the capacitor 711 when the capacitor 711 is viewed from vertically above the substrate 705. By setting the size of the opening to 1.2 times or more, the possibility of the game frame 104 colliding with the capacitor 711 when the game board 200 is attached can be reduced. The housing hole 104z may be a through-hole or a non-through hole. However, when the housing hole 104z is a through-hole, heat from a heat-generating component such as an electronic component mounted on each board is dissipated. In some cases, it also serves as a heat radiating hole having the effect of.

  Further, when the storage hole 104z is a through hole, the capacitor 711 can be seen in the storage hole 104z from the left side of the game frame 104 in the drawing, and it is sometimes easy to find fraud with respect to the capacitor 711.

  In this embodiment, the capacitor 711 is provided at a position higher than the connector 705a and the connector 706a. As shown in FIG. 30B, when the connector 706a and the connector 707a are connected, the head of the capacitor 711 is stored. The capacitor 711 is accommodated in the hole 104z and does not collide with the game frame 104.

<< Seventh embodiment >>
In the seventh embodiment, the configuration related to the storage hole 104z of the game frame 104 is different in the configuration similar to that of the above-described sixth embodiment.

  FIG. 31 is a side view showing a state where the connector 706a and the connector 707a are connected in the seventh embodiment, and FIG. 31A is a view showing the connector 706a and the connector 707a facing each other in the connection direction. (B) is a figure which shows the state which connected the connector 706a and the connector 707a.

  In this embodiment, the game cover 104 to which the connector 707a is attached is provided with a capacitor cover 104y that protrudes from the attachment surface of the connector 707a. The capacitor cover 104y is hollow and has a storage hole in which the capacitor 711 can be stored. This accommodation hole may be a through-hole or a non-through hole. However, when the accommodation hole is a through-hole, the effect of dissipating heat from a heat-generating component such as an electronic component mounted on each board In some cases, it may also serve as a heat dissipation hole.

  When the connector 706a and the connector 707a are connected, the capacitor 711 is accommodated in the accommodation hole of the capacitor cover 104y before the connector 706a and the connector 707a are fitted to each other. If it is slightly deviated, the head of the capacitor cover 104y may collide with the head of the capacitor cover 104y. Therefore, in this embodiment, in order to avoid this collision, the height of the capacitor cover 104y is set lower than the height of the connector 707a by the height H5. H5 is a height at which the capacitor cover 104y slightly houses the head of the capacitor 711 when the connector 706a and the connector 707a are in contact with each other.

(B) is a figure which shows the state which connected the connector 706a and the connector 707a.

  The capacitor cover 713 is hollow, and the capacitor cover 713 accommodates the capacitor 711 and is fixed to the game board 200.

  In the present embodiment, a storage hole 104x that can store the head of the capacitor cover 713 is provided in the game frame 104 to which the connector 707a is attached. The storage hole 104x may be a through-hole or a non-through hole. However, when the storage hole 104x is a through-hole, heat is radiated from a heat-generating component such as an electronic component mounted on each board. In some cases, it also serves as a heat radiating hole having the effect of. Thereby, the freedom degree of design, such as a shape of the capacitor | condenser cover 713, increases. Further, when the through hole is used, it is easy to confirm the attachment state of the capacitor 711 from the back surface of the game frame 104.

  By the way, when a capacitor (battery) is provided on the main control board, every time the main control board is replaced, a capacitor (battery) that does not need to be replaced is also replaced. Moreover, when a capacitor | condenser (battery) is provided in a power supply board, a connection harness will become long and an electrical loss will be large.

  Further, if a capacitor is provided on another new substrate, there is a risk of fraud such as short-circuiting and loss of backup data. Further, if the connector in the wiring for supplying power from the capacitor (battery) is removed, it may be disadvantageous to the player. For example, there is a pachinko machine in which the gaming state stored by the main control unit and the effect state executed by the sub-control unit are mismatched. Even if the gaming state stored by the main control unit is a probable change state, the presentation state executed by the sub-control unit may be set to the normal state, and the player stores the player at the time of closing the previous day. While recognizing that the gaming state is a probable change state (the effect state performed by the sub-control unit is a normal state), when the game ends, it is expected that the next day can be started from the probable change state. In this case, the performance state is in the normal state on the next day, but if the store (the battery) is destroyed, for example, the gaming state stored in the main control unit becomes the initial state (normal state). The player does not know this and continues to invest in cash while looking at the effect state in the normal state, resulting in a disadvantageous state for the player.
