Description

  The present invention relates to a game machine represented by a ball game machine such as a pachinko machine or an arrangement ball machine using a sphere as a game medium, or a revolving game machine using a medal or a sphere as a game medium.

  As a conventional gaming machine, a configuration has been proposed in which a control board that controls various controls relating to gaming, for example, a main control board, a payout control board, a sub-control board, and the like are accommodated in a two-piece board case (for example, Patent Documents 1 and 2). As the board case divided into two, for example, a structure in which engagement between two case components constituting the board case is released by sliding in a predetermined direction, or two case structures by rotating with respect to a predetermined axis A configuration for releasing engagement of members is known. This type of board case is designed to make it difficult to open the board case in order to prevent unauthorized actions such as altering or replacing the control board or part of the board by opening the board case. When it is opened, various measures are taken so that the trace remains. For example, the case where the relative position of two case structural members is fixed with metal connection members, such as a fitting and a fracture | rupture screw, is mentioned. In this case, the two case components can be firmly fixed, and when forcibly opened, the fitting is deformed or the screw is broken, so that the trace of the opening is reliably left. .

  Further, by forming a through hole in one of the two case constituent members, forming a cavity communicating with the through hole in the other, filling the through hole and the cavity with a curable resin, and curing the curable resin. The case where one case structural member is fixed is proposed (for example, refer the following patent document 3). When the relative positions of the two case constituent members are fixed by the resin connection member, there is an advantage that the two case constituent members can be easily fixed. Also, since the board case is usually made of a transparent resin that can see through the control board housed in the board case, unlike the case of using a metal connection member, there is no need for separation at the time of disposal. There is an advantage of being excellent.

  In the case where the relative positions of the two case constituent members constituting the substrate case are fixed by the resin connecting member, the resin connecting member is generally relatively hard even if it is a metal such as a broken screw. Since the hardness is lower than that of small metal connection members, the connection members are scraped off with a simple tool (driver, knife, pick, etc.), and the substrate case can be opened relatively easily. There is a risk that. In this case, if the same kind of resin is filled again after opening, there will be no trace of opening or it will be very difficult to identify the trace of opening.

  Therefore, in the gaming machine of the present invention, the enclosure containing the control board is prevented from being opened so that it can be returned to a state in which it is difficult to identify the trace of opening.

In order to solve the above problems, a gaming machine according to the present invention is:
A first outer periphery forming portion, a second outer periphery forming portion that engages with the first outer periphery forming portion by translational movement, and a first connection extending to the first outer periphery forming portion and having the depression hole formed therein And an enclosure including a second coupling portion that is extended to the second enclosure forming portion and formed with a through hole that communicates with the recessed hole of the first coupling portion;
A control board stored in an internal space formed by the engagement between the first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion;
In the recessed hole and the through hole, the first hole forming part and the through hole are continuously included, and the relative positions of the first and second surrounding forming parts are fixed. A connection fixing body for connecting and fixing the first connection portion and the second connection portion;
A gaming machine comprising
The first connecting portion and the second connecting portion are opposed to a direction different from the direction of the translational movement,
The interface between the connection fixing body and the first connection part and the second connection part is joined,
The communication space constituted by the through hole and the recessed hole does not intersect with at least one of the first connection portion and the second connection portion, and has a predetermined maximum distance from the outside of the outer enclosure and the connection fixing body. Including a shielded space region that cannot reach linearly along the cutting direction and straddles at least a part of the connection hole between the recessed hole and the through hole;
The connection fixing body is formed in the shielding space region, is located across the connection hole and the depression hole and the through hole, and is joined to both the first connection portion and the second connection portion. Including the arrival blocking part,
It is characterized by that.

  If it is a game machine of this invention, it can suppress that an outer enclosure is opened so that identification of the trace of opening can be returned to a difficult state.

The form of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described. In addition, after describing the conceptual configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention, the specific configuration of the gaming machine according to the present invention will be described.
[Conceptual composition]
A gaming machine according to the present invention includes an enclosure including a first enclosure forming section and a second enclosure forming section that engages with the first enclosure forming section, and a first enclosure forming section and a second enclosure formation. A control board stored in a substantially closed space formed by engagement with the portion, and a connection fixing body fixing the relative positions of the first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion. I have. The outer body extends to the first outer wall forming part, and is connected to the first connecting part in which the recessed hole is formed and the second outer wall forming part, and communicates with the recessed hole of the first connecting part. And a second connecting part having a through hole formed therein. The connecting fixing body is continuously provided from the recessed hole to the through hole in the recessed hole and the through hole, and the first connecting part and the second connecting part are provided. The connecting part is connected and fixed. In this invention, it has the main characteristics in the shape of the 1st connection part and the 2nd connection part, especially the shape of a 2nd connection part, and the shape of the connection fixing body formed in a through-hole.

  Here, the “substantially closed space” is not only a completely closed space, but also a memory element or the like formed on the control board in at least a part of the first and second enclosure forming portions. This means that the space may not be completely occluded by forming a predetermined opening so that the important element cannot be touched. For example, the first and second enclosure forming portions that form a substantially closed space are provided on the control board in at least one of the first and second enclosure forming portions. A configuration in which an opening for operating a switch is formed, a configuration in which an opening for projecting a connector terminal for outputting a signal from the control board is formed, and an opening for projecting a connector terminal for inputting a signal to the control board The formed structure is mentioned. The first and second surrounding forming portions may be the same as any known configuration. For example, the first and second surrounding forming portions may be the first surrounding forming portion. The structure in which the outer envelope is opened only by the relative position of the second outer enclosure forming portion relative to the portion being translated in one direction, and the outer envelope is opened by translation in a predetermined order in a plurality of directions. Examples include a structure, a structure opened by translational movement in any of a plurality of directions, a structure opened by rotational movement, and a structure opened by a combination of translational movement and rotational movement.

  “Continuously exists from the recessed hole to the through hole” means that the connection fixing body is formed in at least a partial space region of the recessed hole and at least a partial space region of the through hole. This means that the connecting and fixing bodies are continuous, and that the connecting and fixing bodies do not necessarily have to be formed in all of the recessed hole space and the through hole space.

  The interface between the connection fixing body and the first connection portion and the second connection portion is joined. “The interface between the connection fixing body and the first connection portion and the second connection portion is joined” means that the interface between the connection fixing body and the first connection portion is not simply in contact with the physical adsorption, It means that they are joined by chemical adsorption, chemical bond or the like, and it means that the interface between the connecting fixed body and the second connecting portion is not only in contact but also joined.

  The communication space constituted by the through hole and the recessed hole does not intersect with at least one of the first connection part and the second connection part, and extends along the predetermined maximum cutting direction from the outside of the enclosure and the connection fixing body. In other words, it includes a shielded space region that cannot reach linearly and straddles at least a part of the connection hole between the depressed hole and the through hole. In other words, from an arbitrary point in the shielding space region to the outside of the envelope body and the connection fixing body, only the communication space constituted by the through hole and the depression hole is linearly passed along the most cutting direction. Can't reach. If replaced with a qualitatively simpler concept, it is a spatial region that is not illuminated by plane light emitted in one predetermined direction from the outside of the envelope. Here, the “most cutting direction” means a connection that can be linearly reached from the outside of the outer enclosure and the coupling fixing body through the opening opposite to the first coupling portion of the through hole (hereinafter also referred to as “open opening”). It means a linear direction where the mouth area is the largest. In addition, the “connection port” means an overlapping portion between the opening of the depression hole and the opening on the first coupling portion side of the through hole (hereinafter also referred to as “blocking opening”). Therefore, the connection port does not include a portion that is blocked by the second connecting portion at the opening of the depression hole and a portion that is closed by the first connecting portion at the opening of the through hole. In addition, “straddling at least a part of the connection port” means that the cut-off space region is divided into at least two space regions when the cut-off space region is divided along the connection port. Note that the enclosure, particularly the second connecting portion, is processed into a predetermined shape so that such a shielded space region is formed.

  The connection fixing body includes an arrival blocking portion formed in the shielding space region and joined to both the first connection portion and the second connection portion across at least a part of the connection port between the depression hole and the through hole. Yes. “Spanning at least a part of the connection port” means that the arrival blocking part is divided into at least two parts when cut along the connection port, as in the above case. The reaching blocking part may be formed at one place or may be formed dispersedly at a plurality of places. The gaming machine having the above configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine A”.

  If it is said structure, even if a connection fixing body is linearly cut along one direction of the predetermined most cutting direction from the open opening side of the 2nd connection part with simple tools, such as a pick, a driver, and a drill. Since the reaching blocking part straddling the connection port remains and the interface between the reaching blocking part and the first connecting part and the second connecting part is joined, the connection fixing between the first connecting part and the second connecting part is maintained. Will be. This makes it difficult to move the relative positions of the first connecting portion (first outer forming portion) and the second connecting portion (first outer forming portion) for opening the outer envelope. Further, when the envelope is opened in this state, at least a part of the envelope is broken, particularly in the vicinity of the connection region between the first envelope forming portion and the first connecting portion or the second envelope formation. In the vicinity of the connection region between the part and the second connecting part, the breakage occurs. This leaves a trace of opening that can be easily identified in the envelope. Therefore, according to the gaming machine of the present invention, it is possible to suppress the opening itself of the outer enclosure from being easily performed, and it is possible to suppress the opening so that it is possible to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of the opening.

In the above gaming machine A,
The communication space, as a part of the shielding space region, does not intersect with at least one of the first connection part and the second connection part, and from the outside of the outer enclosure and the connection fixing body in an arbitrary direction. Including a narrow shielding space region that cannot be reached linearly and straddles at least a part of the connection port,
The connecting fixed body is formed in the narrow shielding space region as a part of the reaching blocking part, and is joined to both the first connecting part and the second connecting part across the connection port. It is preferable that it is the structure containing an area | region arrival interruption | blocking part. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine B”.

  With the above configuration, even if the connecting fixed body is cut from all directions by a simple tool such as a pick, a driver, or a drill, the narrow reach blocking portion is further cut, but the narrowing straddles the connection port. This is because the area reaching blocking part remains reliably. As a result, it is possible to further favorably prevent the opening of the outer envelope itself from being facilitated, and it is possible to further favorably prevent the envelope from being opened so that it can be returned to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of the opening. In fact, since the tool has a spatial extent (finite size), even if it is deleted from all possible cutting directions, it is formed in a wider space area including a narrow area. The connected fixed body (a connected fixed body in a wider range than the narrow reach blocking portion) remains. In addition, the narrow area | region arrival interruption | blocking part may be formed in one place, and may be distributed and formed in the several location.

In the above gaming machine A or gaming machine B,
The second connecting portion has a peripheral portion having a hollow region, and protrudes from the peripheral portion to the hollow region, and the through hole is formed at a position separated from the connection port on the opening side opposite to the first connecting portion. Including a constriction that narrows narrower than the connection port,
It is preferable that the narrowed portion is configured to form at least a part of the shielding space region in the communication space. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine C”.

  If it is said structure, a shielding space area | region can be simply ensured by adjustment of the arrangement | positioning location of a constriction part. Furthermore, the size of the shielding space region can be easily ensured by adjusting the shape of the narrowed portion. As a result, a desired reaching blocking part can be easily formed. The narrow portion may be configured to be connected to the peripheral portion at one location, or may be configured to be connected to the peripheral portion at a plurality of locations.

  It is preferable that the connection fixing body is a solidified substance of a fluid substance that flows into and fills the recessed hole and the through hole. If it is this structure, even if the communication space comprised by a depression hole and a through-hole is a columnar shape or the complicated shape which is not a taper shape which spreads monotonously from a depression hole to a penetration hole, it will continue from a depression hole to a penetration hole. It is because a connection fixing body can be formed easily. Moreover, it is because a connection fixing body can be formed in the shape according to the shape of a depression hole and a through-hole. Furthermore, it is because joining of the interface of a connection fixing body, a 1st connection part, and a 2nd connection part can be joined simply. In addition, as a fluid substance, a metal substance, an inorganic substance, and an organic substance are mentioned. In addition, it is preferable that it is a substance whose melting | fusing point is lower than the substance which comprises a 1st connection part and a 2nd connection part. Further, the fluid substance may be a substance that solidifies by cooling, a substance that cures by heating, or a substance that cures by light irradiation.

  The connection fixing body is preferably a resin solidified product. This is because it is easy to obtain fluidity at room temperature, and thus it becomes easy to produce a connection fixing body, and the bonding strength at the interface between the connection fixing body and the first connection portion and the second connection portion is high. This is because it is generally larger than the case of other substances. Moreover, when the 1st connection part and the 2nd connection part are resin compositions, the joining strength becomes large especially.

  It is preferable that the said connection fixed body is a photocurable resin composition hardened | cured by light irradiation. In general, a photo-curing resin has good fluidity at normal temperature, and the temperature change is extremely small during the curing process, so that the shape of the first connecting part and the second connecting part does not change. This is because a connection fixing body having a desired shape according to the shape of the hole and the through hole can be formed.

  It is preferable that resin compositions, such as a photocurable resin composition, are the structures which have transparency. If it is this structure, since not only a connection fixed body but the 2nd connection part will be cut, even if it fills with a transparent resin composition after that, since the change of the shape of a 2nd connection part can be visually recognized. It is. As a result, it becomes impossible to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of opening.

  It is preferable that resin compositions, such as a photocurable resin composition, are the structures which have colorless transparency. This is because this configuration makes it easy to identify a change in the shape of the second connecting portion when the second connecting portion is cut.

  The first envelope forming portion and the first connecting portion are integrally molded products having no connection boundary, and the second envelope forming portion and the second connecting portion have a connection boundary. A structure which is not a single molded product is preferable. If it is this composition, it is impossible in the state where the part (arrival interception part, narrow area arrival interception part or narrow area arrival interception part) which crossed the connection port and was joined to both the 1st connection part and the 2nd connection part remains If the connection between the first envelope forming portion and the first connecting portion or the connection between the second envelope forming portion and the second connecting portion is broken by opening the envelope, the broken portion is subsequently repaired. This is because a bonding interface as a connection boundary is generated even if it is done, so that the trace of destruction can be easily identified. In addition, when the connection between the enclosure forming part and the connecting part is a joint by adhesion or the like, it is difficult to identify the destruction trace because a connection interface is formed as a connection boundary regardless of whether or not the breakage is caused by excessive opening. Sometimes.

  Each of the integrally molded product including the first envelope forming portion and the first connecting portion and the integrally molded product including the second envelope forming portion and the second connecting portion are resin compositions. A configuration is preferred. This is because, with this configuration, even an intricate shape can be easily produced. A known resin molding technique can be used for this production.

  Each of the integrally molded product including the first envelope forming portion and the first connecting portion and the integrally molded product including the second envelope forming portion and the second connecting portion are transparent resin compositions. The structure which is a thing is preferable, and the structure which is a colorless and transparent resin composition is still more preferable. With this configuration, when the connection between the outer periphery forming portion and the connecting portion is broken in each integrally molded product, it is possible to visually recognize even the fracture interface inside, so that the trace of the fracture can be further easily identified. Because it can. In addition, when it is colorless, the visibility is further improved.

In the above gaming machine A to gaming machine C,
A first engaging portion extending from the first outer forming portion; and a second engaging portion extending from the second outer forming portion and engaging the first engaging portion. And further includes a locking portion,
The first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion are locked at a predetermined opposing position by engagement of the first locking portion and the second locking portion,
The first connecting part and the second connecting part are opposed in the same direction as the opposing direction of the first outer forming part and the second outer forming part,
When the connection fixing body is not present, the first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion are locked in a predetermined direction of the second outer periphery forming portion with respect to the first outer periphery forming portion. It is preferable that the movement of the second connecting part relative to the first connecting part accompanying the translational movement is substantially the same as the translational movement, which is released by the translational movement.

  If it is said structure, in the front | former stage in the unreasonable opening after partial cutting of a connection fixed body, the narrow area | region reach | attainment interruption | blocking part (arrival interruption | blocking part) of a connection fixed body is a 1st enclosure formation part or a 2nd enclosure. Even if it is completely peeled off from either one of the forming parts, it is bonded to the other surrounding forming part, so that the narrow reach blocking part (arrival blocking part) is arranged so as to straddle the connection port. Even if the connecting and fixing part is divided into a part joined to the first outer periphery forming part and a part joined to the second outer periphery forming part, the connecting and fixing part will be maintained along the connection port. There is little possibility of being divided, and the narrow area reaching and blocking part joined to at least one of the surrounding forming parts will maintain the state of being arranged so as to straddle the connection port, and further translational movement will be continued in this state Even if the narrow reach blocking part (reaching blocking part) forms the first envelope When a state sandwiched between the second outer forming section, the more translation in the subsequent stage becomes difficult conditions in unreasonable opening. By suppressing the translational movement in these two stages, it is possible to further favorably prevent the opening itself from being easily performed. Further, when the translation is further performed, the first region forming portion and the second outer forming portion are also moved away from each other by the narrow area reaching blocking portion (reaching blocking portion) (opposite direction), and the stress As a result, the connection between the first envelope forming portion and the first connecting portion or the connection between the second envelope forming portion and the second connecting portion is cut off.

  The more the connection fixing body is cut as much as possible, that is, the more the cutting is performed so that only the narrow-area cut-off portion remains, the deeper the depth of the remaining area of the connection fixing body in the depression hole in the first stage of the unsealing. The junction area between the remaining connecting fixed body and the first connecting portion becomes smaller and the joint surface is easily peeled off. However, in the latter stage of unreasonable opening, the remaining connection fixing body can easily ride between the first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion by the amount that the remaining region is shallow. In addition, the stress is easily transmitted, and the disconnection between the first outer periphery forming portion and the first connecting portion or the connection between the second outer periphery forming portion and the second connecting portion is promoted. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the unsealing so as to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of the unsealing without depending on the cutting amount of the connection fixed body.

  The first outer periphery forming portion and the first locking portion are integrally formed products having no connection boundary, and the second outer periphery forming portion and the second locking portion have a connection boundary. A structure which is not a single molded product is preferable. As described above, this is the same as the reason why it is preferable that the outer periphery forming portion and the connecting portion have no connection boundary.

In the above gaming machine B,
The second connecting portion has a peripheral portion having a hollow region, and a constriction that protrudes from the peripheral portion to the hollow region and narrows the through hole narrower than the connection port at a position spaced from the connection port to the open opening side. Part
It is preferable that the narrowed portion is configured to form at least a part of the narrow shielding space region in the communication space. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine D”.

  If it is said structure, a desired narrow area shielding space area | region can be simply ensured by adjustment of the shape and arrangement | positioning location of a constriction part, and a desired narrow area reach | attainment cutoff part can be formed easily. The narrow portion may be configured to be connected to the peripheral portion at one location, or may be configured to be connected to the peripheral portion at a plurality of locations.

  A configuration in which the peripheral edge portion and the narrowed portion are an integrally molded product having no connection boundary is preferable. With this configuration, when not only the connecting fixed body but also the constricted portion is cut, even if the cut portion is returned to the original shape, the connection interface between the peripheral portion and the constricted portion is restored. This is because it is generated. As a result, it becomes impossible to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of opening.

In the above gaming machine D,
The connecting fixed body is inherently beyond the connection port and closest to the connection port side of the constriction,
It is preferable that the narrow area reaching and blocking section be joined to both the narrowed section, the peripheral edge section, and the first connecting section. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine E”.

  If it is said structure, while being able to enlarge a narrow area | region interruption | blocking interruption | blocking part, improving a 1st connection part and a 2nd connection part by the increase in the connection strength of the 2nd connection part and connection fixed body by a stenosis arrival interruption | blocking part. Can do. Further, by being connected to the narrowed portion and the peripheral portion at the second connecting portion, the direction of peeling resistance at the joint interface between the narrowed portion and the narrow area reaching and blocking portion and the joint interface between the peripheral portion and the narrow area reaching and blocking portion. When the dependency is different, it is possible to improve the direction dependency of the peeling resistance between the second connection portion and the connection fixing body.

In the above gaming machine D to gaming machine E,
The first connecting portion has a straight rod shape having a straight columnar hollow region as the hollow region,
The peripheral portion is a straight cylinder having a straight columnar hollow region as the through hole,
The narrowed portion covers a part of the connection port,
It is preferable that the narrowed portion is configured to form at least a part of the narrow shielding space region in the communication space. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine F”.

  Here, “rectangular column shape” means that the column axis represented by a right cylinder and a right column is substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface, and the cross-sectional shape by a plane with the column axis as a normal line is congruent to the bottom surface. In addition to the straight column body, the cone axis as typified by the right truncated cone and right angle frustum is substantially perpendicular to the bottom surface, and the cross-sectional shape by a plane normal to the column axis is substantially on the bottom surface Straight pyramid bodies that are similar to each other, or multiple types of straight column bodies or straight cone base bodies with different bottom shapes, and upper upper column pillars or straight cones within the upper bottom surface of the lower column pillar body or straight cone body body It also means a shape in which the lower bottom surface of the base body is sequentially stacked. In addition, “straight cylindrical shape” means a solid body in which a straight columnar hollow region is formed. Further, the “straight bowl shape” means a solid in which a straight columnar hollow region that does not penetrate is formed.

  If it is said structure, a desired narrow area shielding space area | region and shielding space area | region will be under a constriction part by adjustment of the shape and arrangement | positioning location of a constriction part, and the connection port of a 1st connection part and a 2nd connection part It can be easily secured in the vicinity of the peripheral edge, and the desired narrow area reaching blocking portion and the reaching blocking portion are below the first connecting portion side of the narrowed portion and in the vicinity of the connecting port between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion Can be easily formed.

In the above gaming machine D to gaming machine F,
A first engaging portion extending from the first outer forming portion; and a second engaging portion extending from the second outer forming portion and engaging the first engaging portion. And further includes a locking portion,
The first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion are locked at a predetermined opposing position by engagement of the first locking portion and the second locking portion,
The first connecting part and the second connecting part are opposed in the same direction as the opposing direction of the first outer forming part and the second outer forming part,
When the connection fixing body is not present, the first outer periphery forming portion and the second outer periphery forming portion are locked in a predetermined direction of the second outer periphery forming portion with respect to the first outer periphery forming portion. The movement of the second connecting part relative to the first connecting part accompanying the translational movement is substantially the same as the translational movement.
A configuration in which an interface between the first connecting portion and the peripheral portion is parallel to a plane including the translational direction is preferable. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine G”.

  With the above configuration, as described above with respect to the gaming machine C, since the connection fixed body is securely formed with the narrow area reaching blocking portion, the opening of the opening is almost independent of the cutting amount of the connection fixed body. It is possible to prevent the package from being opened so that the trace can be returned to a difficult state.

In the above gaming machine G,
A configuration in which an interface between the first connecting portion and the peripheral portion is a plane perpendicular to the facing direction is preferable. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine I”. If it is this structure, as mentioned above about game machine C, when a connection fixed body is cut and a narrow area arrival interception part remains, a narrow area interception part is excellent in a 1st connection part and a 2nd connection part. This is because the connection between the first outer periphery forming portion and the first connecting portion or the disconnection of the connection between the second outer periphery forming portion and the second connecting portion is further promoted.

In the above gaming machine H,
It is preferable that the surface of the constriction portion on the side of the connection port is a plane that is separated from the connection port and substantially parallel to a plane including the connection port. Hereinafter, the gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine J”. Here, “substantially parallel plane” means that it is not intentionally formed to be other than a parallel plane, and a substantially parallel plane is a plane that is strictly parallel. It implies a case where the plane is not exactly parallel due to a manufacturing error or the like or a case where the plane is not flat due to a manufacturing error or the like. With this configuration, it is possible to secure a larger area for blocking the narrow area than in the case where the surface on the connection port side of the narrowed portion is inclined with respect to the connection surface between the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion. This is because the area reaching blocking part can be easily formed. When the narrowed portion is inclined so as to taper toward the side opposite to the connection port, the narrow region blocking space region is narrowed and the narrow region reaching blocked unit is also small. In addition, when the constricted part is inclined so as to taper toward the side opposite to the connection port, a resin that forms a connection fixing body such as a gap is formed in the vicinity of the boundary between the constricted part and the peripheral part. As a result, the narrow area blocking area formed in that area becomes small even if a wide area can be secured.

In the above gaming machine H,
The contour shape of the opening on the first connecting portion side of the second connecting portion under the narrowed portion is substantially the same as the contour shape of the opening of the first connecting portion under the narrowed portion,
The contour shape of the cross section on the second connecting portion side of the narrow area reaching blocking portion in the connection port is substantially the same as the contour shape of the cross section on the first connecting portion side of the narrow area reaching block portion in the connecting port. The structure which is the same is preferable. Here, “substantially the same” means that it is not intentionally formed in contour shapes that are not the same. Substantially the same is not only strictly the same, but also due to manufacturing errors, etc. Implications are not strictly the same. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine K”.

  If it is said structure, it can prevent reducing the effect which suppresses opening so that it can return to the state in which the identification of an opening mark is difficult, reducing a 2nd connection part. This is because, when the contour shape of the closing opening of the second connecting portion under the narrowed portion is smaller than the contour shape of the opening of the first connecting portion under the narrowed portion, the second connecting portion protrudes inward. As a result, the narrow area of the narrow area is reduced, and the protruding part functions as a stress center that cuts the narrow area blocking parallel part parallel to the connection surface before opening the forced enclosure. This is because the effect of suppressing the opening to be able to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the traces of the mark is reduced. Further, when the contour shape of the closing opening of the second connecting portion under the constricted portion is larger than the contour shape of the opening of the first connecting portion under the constricted portion, the second connecting portion is enlarged and further narrowed. Since it is necessary to increase the amount of protrusion of the narrowed portion from the peripheral portion in order to secure the area shielding space, it is easy to generate a gap in which no connection fixing body is formed in the vicinity of the connection portion between the narrowed portion and the peripheral portion, In this case, although the area of the narrow area shielding space area becomes large, the area of the joint surface between the narrow area reaching and blocking part and the second connecting part does not increase greatly, so that it is possible to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of opening. This is because the effect of suppressing the opening is hardly improved.

  In the above gaming machine H, the stenosis portion includes at least one columnar stenosis piece connected to the peripheral edge portion at one location, and the narrow area reaching blocking portion is below each of the at least one stenosis piece. It is preferable that it is the structure currently formed in this. If it is this structure, a constriction part can be formed very simply and a narrow area shielding space can be ensured. This makes it possible to form a desired narrow reach blocking portion under the stenosis piece very simply. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine L”.

  In the above gaming machine L, the at least one straight columnar stenosis piece includes a pair of straight columnar stenosis pieces facing in the translational movement direction, and the narrow area reaching blocking portion is the pair of straight columnar stencil pieces. It is preferable that the stenosis piece is formed in a divided manner under each stenosis piece. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine M”.

  In the gaming machine L described above, the at least one columnar stenosis piece includes a pair of stenosis pieces facing in a direction orthogonal to both the translational movement direction and the facing direction, and the narrow area reaching blocking portion is It is preferable that the pair of stenosis pieces be formed in a divided manner under each stenosis piece. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine N”.

  In the gaming machine C to the gaming machine N described above, the second connecting portion is further connected to the peripheral portion at a plurality of locations, and further includes a path dividing portion that divides the through hole into a plurality of passages, and the narrowing portion is It is preferable that at least one of the plurality of passages is narrowed and at least some of the plurality of passages are not narrowed. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine O”. If it is this structure, a connection fixing body can be simply formed very favorably, without forming a space | gap under a constriction part. This is because, in order to form a connected fixed body without forming a gap under the narrowed portion, it is necessary to fill the fluid substance that will form the connected fixed body from the lower side of the narrowed portion. If the flow section is not provided, the flow material injection needle must be inserted to the lower side of the constriction, the flow material should be injected at a predetermined pressure, and the injection needle must be removed after completion of the flow path division. If the flow material is dropped or injected at a very low pressure into the passage where the constriction portion is not provided, the lower portion of the constriction portion is automatically placed in the passage where the constriction portion is provided. This is because the fluid substance is filled. Therefore, when the path dividing portion is provided, the positioning accuracy of the injection needle insertion in the fluid material injection process is eased, and the fluid material injection operation is simplified, so that the manufacturing cost is reduced and the throughput is reduced. Will improve.

  In the above gaming machine O, it is preferable that the peripheral portion and the path dividing portion are an integrally molded product having no connection boundary. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine P”. As described above, as well as the case where the peripheral edge portion and the narrowed portion do not have a connection boundary, when not only the connection fixing body but also the path dividing portion is cut, the cut portion is This is because even if the original shape is restored, a connection interface is generated between the peripheral edge portion and the path dividing portion at the time of restoration. As a result, it becomes impossible to return to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of opening.

  In the above gaming machine P, the path dividing portion is connected to the peripheral portion at two locations to divide the through hole into two passages, and the narrowing portion narrows only one of the two passages. A configuration is preferred. The gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine Q”. If it is this structure, in the filling of the fluid substance which will form a connection fixed body, the injection property will be prevented from being inhibited. This is because the path dividing portion does not greatly contribute to the formation of the narrow shielding space area, and therefore, even if the path dividing section is divided into three or more paths, the fluid substance injection property is substantially inhibited.

  In the above gaming machine Q, it is preferable that the path dividing portion is connected to the narrowed portion. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine R”. This is because, in the case of this configuration, the narrow area blocking space region can also be formed under the path dividing portion in the vicinity of the connection portion with the narrowed portion.

  In the above gaming machine R, it is preferable that the path dividing portion has a columnar shape with a normal line of the communication surface as a column axis. A gaming machine having this configuration is also referred to as “gaming machine S”. This is because with this configuration, the path dividing portion can be easily formed. Moreover, it is because it can prevent that the injection | pouring property of the fluid substance which will form a connection fixing body is inhibited. This is a configuration in which a passage in which a narrowed portion is not formed is narrowed along the injection direction by the path dividing portion, and the injection property from the passage into the depression hole is lowered, while it is widened along the injection direction. Even so, since the injection property at the entrance to the passage is lowered, the fluid substance overflows from the passage. In particular, when an overflowing fluid substance is injected from above the constriction through a passage in which the constriction is formed, it is extremely difficult to satisfactorily fill the communication space with the fluid.

  Each of the pair of main body support mechanisms 130 includes an outer frame side support 131 fixed to the outer frame 110 and a main body side support 132 fixed to the gaming machine main body 120, as shown in FIGS. (See also FIG. 15) and a connecting body 133 that connects the outer frame side support 131 and the main body side support 132. The outer frame side support 131 is formed with a bearing groove 131A (FIG. 4 only), while the main body side support 132 is formed with a shaft body 132A (only FIG. 4), and the shaft body 132A is a bearing. By inserting the outer frame side support 131 and the main body side support 132 with the connecting body 133 by being inserted into the groove 131A, the gaming machine main body 120 is supported so as to be detachable and openable with respect to the outer frame 110. Yes. In addition, the coupling body 133 suppresses the axial displacement of the shaft body portion 132A by reducing the load applied between the shaft body portion 132A and the bearing groove portion 131A, in particular, the load load in the opened state of the gaming machine main body 120. Or the maximum rotation angle of the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to the outer frame 110 (a value exceeding 90 degrees but a value in the vicinity of 90 degrees, for example, 95 degrees) is limited. The connection between the connecting body 133 and the outer frame 110 can be released by a simple operation.

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the main body locking mechanism 140 includes a pair of outer frame side locking members 141 fixed to the right side plate member 113 of the outer frame 110 and a locking mechanism installed on the gaming machine main body 120. Mechanism 142. The locking mechanism 142 is connected to the base member 143 fixed to the gaming machine main body 120, the pair of main body side locking members 144 pivoted on the base member 143, and the pair of main body side locking members 144, and moves in the vertical direction. A free power transmission rod 145, a pair of movable members 146 that are pivotally supported by the base member 143 and move in conjunction with the power transmission rod 145, and are connected to the base member 143 and the movable member 146, via the movable member 146. An urging body 147 (only in FIG. 4) that urges the power transmission rod 145 to return to a predetermined reference position (hereinafter also referred to as “locking position”) is provided. Each of the pair of outer frame side locking members 141 has an engaging claw portion 141A, while each of the pair of main body side locking members 144 has an engaging groove portion 144A (FIG. 4) that engages with the engaging claw portion 141A. Only) is formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the lock opening / closing operation mechanism 150 includes a key cylinder 151 in which a keyway (not shown) corresponding to an uneven shape of a predetermined opening / closing key (not shown) is formed, A movable shaft body 152 that is slidably attached to the inside of the key cylinder 151 and rotates in conjunction with the rotation of the inserted opening / closing key, and the opposite side (rear side) of the key hole into which the opening / closing key is inserted. A movable piece (not shown) fixed to the movable shaft 152 and eccentrically rotated in conjunction with the rotation of the movable shaft 152 is provided.

  In the closed state of the gaming machine main body 120, the power transmission rod 145 is maintained at a predetermined reference position based on the urging force from the urging body 147, as shown in FIGS. The engaging claw portion 141A of the outer frame side locking member 141 is also maintained at a predetermined reference position. In the closed state of the gaming machine main body 120, as shown in FIG. 3, the engaging claw portions 141A of the pair of outer frame side locking members 141 are engaged with the engaging groove portions 144A of the pair of main body side locking members 144. It is in a combined state. Thereby, a state where the gaming machine main body 120 is locked with respect to the outer frame 110 (hereinafter abbreviated as “locked state of the gaming machine main body 120”) is maintained. When the gaming machine main body 120 is closed, a predetermined key (not shown) is inserted into a key hole formed in the key cylinder 151 and the movable shaft body 152 of the lock opening / closing operation mechanism 150, and a predetermined unlocking operation, In the embodiment, when a clockwise rotation operation of 90 degrees is performed, the movable shaft body 152 rotates and the movable piece (not shown) rotates eccentrically. In accordance with the eccentric rotation of the movable piece, the power transmission rod 145 of the main body locking mechanism 140 moves upward. In response to the upward movement of the power transmission rod 145, the pair of main body side locking members 144 rotate, and the tips thereof move downward. As a result, the engaging claw portion 141A is disengaged from the engaging groove portion 144A, and the gaming machine main body 120 can rotate with respect to the outer frame 110 (hereinafter abbreviated as “unlocked state of the gaming machine main body 120”). . Further, the movable member 146 moves upward in accordance with the upward movement of the power transmission rod 145, whereby the biasing body 147 is extended. As a result, when the gaming machine main body 120 is closed and the lock by the main body locking mechanism 140 is unlocked, the power transmission rod 145 and the pair of main body sides are released based on the biasing force from the biasing body 147 when the hand is released. The locking member 144 returns to the locking position, and the gaming machine main body 120 returns to the locked state. On the other hand, when the gaming machine main body 120 is shifted from the open state to the closed state, when the gaming machine main body 120 is rotated in the closing direction while the unlocking operation is not performed in the opened state of the gaming machine main body 120, Since the frame side locking member 141 and the pair of main body side locking members 144 are in contact with each other and the rotation in the closing direction is prevented, in order to shift to the closed state of the gaming machine main body 120, the unlocking operation is temporarily performed. It must be made.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the main body opening / closing detection device 160 is disposed so that a part of the main body opening / closing detection device 160 protrudes toward the left side plate member 114 of the gaming machine main body 120. Here, the main body opening / closing detection device 160 will be described in detail. FIG. 5 is a partially exploded perspective view showing the vicinity of an example of a main body opening / closing detection device. FIGS. 6 (A) and 6 (B) are a main body opening / closing detection device in a closed state and an open state of a gaming machine main body, respectively. It is a rear view which represents typically an example. As shown in FIG. 5 and FIGS. 6A and 6B, the main body opening / closing detection device 160 is supported by the shaft member 161 supported by the gaming machine main body 120 and the shaft member 161. A substantially U-shaped movable member 162, an urging member 163 attached to the movable member 162 to increase the opening angle of the U-shape, and an open / close detection switch 164 attached to the gaming machine main body 120 are provided. The movable member 162 is shown in the closed position where the movable member 162 is in contact with the left side plate member 114 of the outer frame 110 as shown in FIG. When the gaming machine main body 120 is in the opened state, the gaming machine main body 120 moves between the opened position that is not in contact with the outer frame 110. The opening angle of the movable member 162 is larger when the movable member 162 is positioned at the open position than when the movable member 162 is positioned at the closed position. As shown in FIG. 6A, the open / close detection switch 164 is in an ON state in which the detection protrusion 164A of the open / close detection switch 164 is pressed by the movable member 162 when the movable member 162 is in the closed position. On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 6B, when the movable member 162 is in the open position, the detection protrusion 164A of the open / close detection switch 164 is not pressed by the movable member 162, and is in the detection state. In response to this, open / close detection signals having different potentials are output to the main control board 751 (see FIGS. 46 and 49) of the main controller 750 (see FIGS. 41 and 46).

  As shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the ball-type spinning machine 100 is provided at the bottom of the gaming machine main body 120, and an opening / closing smoothing mechanism that smoothens the opening / closing operation of the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to the outer frame 110. 170 (only in FIG. 3) is attached to the bottom of the gaming machine main body 120, and according to the unlocking of the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to the outer frame 110, the administrator intentionally rotates the gaming machine main body 120 in the opening direction. Regardless, the anti-skid member 180 is provided that prevents the gaming machine main body 120 from shifting from the closed state to the open state. The opening / closing smoothing mechanism 170 is a game for the outer frame 110 with respect to a plane (hereinafter also referred to as “load center plane”) perpendicular to both the vertical direction (vertical direction) and the front-rear direction passing through the center of gravity of the gaming machine main body 120. An inner roller 171 disposed on the rotating shaft side of the machine body 120 and an outer roller 172 disposed on the opposite side of the rotating shaft of the gaming machine body 120 with respect to the load center plane. The frictional force accompanying the rotation in the opening direction from the closed state of 120 is reduced, and the riding on the mounting member 115 of the outer frame 110 in the rotation in the closing direction from the opened state of the gaming machine main body 120 is facilitated. Note that the inner roller 171 and the outer roller 172 are arranged on both sides of the load center plane. The non-slip member 180 is a plate-like body that is disposed at one end of the bottom of the gaming machine main body 120 on the side opposite to the rotation shaft, and is bent into a substantially U shape. Projects downward.

  Here, the opening / closing smoothing mechanism 170 and the non-slip member 180 will be described in detail. FIG. 7 is a perspective view showing the vicinity of an example of an opening / closing smoothing mechanism and an antiskid member, and FIG. 8 is a right side view showing the vicinity of an example of an opening / closing smoothing mechanism and an antiskid member. As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the mounting member 115 of the outer frame 110 includes a flat portion 115A and an inclined portion 115B inclined on the front side of the flat portion 115A. A pair of outer frame side supports 131 are disposed on the flat surface P1 of the portion extending in the horizontal direction. The flat surface P2 of the portion extending to the front side in the flat portion 115A has been conventionally provided to constitute a placement surface on which the gaming machine main body 120 is placed. In this embodiment, the gaming machine main body 120 is provided. Does not contact the flat surface P2 even in the closed state. In the closed state of the gaming machine main body 120, the inner roller 171 is disposed on the inclined surface P3 of the inclined portion 115B, the outer roller 172 is disposed on the inclined surface P4 of the inclined portion 115B, and the non-slip member 180 is disposed on the inclined surface P4. It arrange | positions so that it may contact | abut on the rearmost side. The lower end surface 180A of the non-slip member 180 is inclined at substantially the same inclination angle as the inclined surface P4, and the entire lower end surface 180A is in contact with the inclined surface P4 when the gaming machine body 120 is closed. In the opened state of the gaming machine main body 120 when the inner roller 171 is not disposed on the inclined surface P3, the gaming machine main body 120 tilts the rotation axis of the gaming machine main body 120 by a slight angle due to its own weight, and the right end thereof is downward It is shifted to the side. Such a tilt occurs in general gaming machines.

  When the gaming machine main body 120 is shifted from the open state to the closed state, first, the inner roller 171 does not come into contact with the inclined surface P3, the flat surface P2, and the inclined surface P4 by rotation in the closing direction. Rides on the inclined surface P3. Thereby, the inclination angle of the rotating shaft of the gaming machine main body 120 is relaxed, and the rotation in the closing direction can be continued without the bottom surface of the gaming machine main body 120 coming into contact with the flat surface P2. Thereafter, the outer roller 172 rides on the inclined surface P4. As a result, the inclination angle of the rotating shaft of the gaming machine main body 120 is greatly relaxed, and the plane 180B on the back side of the anti-slip member 180 collides with the plane P5 on the front side of the inclined portion 115B by the subsequent rotation in the closing direction. Can be prevented. Thereafter, the lower end surface 180A of the antiskid member 180 comes into contact with the inclined surface P4, and the riding on the mounting member 115 of the gaming machine main body 120 via the antiskid member 180 is started. Thereafter, when the non-slip member 180 finishes climbing the inclined surface P4, the gaming machine main body 120 is closed. Thereby, the gaming machine main body 120 is easily and smoothly shifted from the open state to the closed state. On the contrary, when the gaming machine main body 120 is shifted from the closed state to the open state, the entire lower end surface 180A of the anti-slip member 180 is in contact with the inclined surface P4 in the closed state, so that the frictional force is large and the outer frame Immediately after unlocking the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to 110, the intention is based on the installation angle deviation of the ball-cylinder gaming machine 100 to the gaming machine fixing facility or the support angle deviation by the pair of main body support mechanisms 130 due to deterioration over time. It is suppressed that the rotation in the opening direction is started without. In addition, since the inclination angle of the rotation axis of the gaming machine main body 120 changes in multiple stages (in this embodiment, three stages) in the process of shifting from the open state to the closed state, a pair of main body supports are supported as the inclination angle changes. The maximum load applied to the mechanism 130 can be reduced compared to the case where the tilt angle changes in one step. As a result, it is also possible to suppress the occurrence of the support angle deviation by the pair of main body support mechanisms 130 due to deterioration over time.

  Here, the configuration of the gaming machine main body 120 will be described. 9 and 10 are perspective views showing an example of a ball-type spinning machine in an open state. FIG. 9 shows a state in which the payout block 122 and the game block 123 are integrally opened with respect to the front block 121, and FIG. 10 shows the payout block 122 with respect to the front block 121. A state where the game block 123 is opened with respect to the payout block 122 is shown.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the gaming machine main body 120 includes a front block 121 that constitutes the front side of the ball-type spinning game machine 100 and a payout that constitutes the back side of the ball-type spinning machine 100. A block 122, a game block 123 encapsulated by the front block 121 and the payout block 122, and a pair of block support mechanisms 124 that support the payout block 122 and the game block 123 so as to be detachable and openable with respect to the front block 121 ( Only one is shown), a payout block locking mechanism 125 for locking the payout block 122 to the front block 121, and a pair of game block fixing mechanisms 126 for fixing the game block 123 to the payout block 122.

The front block side locking member 233 includes a flange portion 235 extending substantially parallel to the base member 143 and a pair of protrusion portions 236 protruding from the vicinity of both ends in the longitudinal direction of the flange portion 235 to the back side. Each is formed with an engaging groove 236A partially cut away. When the dispensing block 122 is closed with respect to the front block 121 (hereinafter also abbreviated as “blocking state of the dispensing block”), the pair of dispensing block side locking members 231 are arranged in the engaging groove portions 236A of the pair of projecting portions 236. The engagement state is maintained by the urging force from the urging body. As a result, the state in which the payout block 122 is locked with respect to the front block 121 (hereinafter also abbreviated as “locked state of the payout block”) is maintained.

  The pair of game block fixing mechanisms 126 includes a pair of payout block side fixing members 241 (see also FIG. 30) fixed to the payout block 122 and a pair of fixing mechanisms 242 provided in the game block 123 (see also FIG. 41).

The lower pan side ball stopper mechanism 252 (see FIGS. 12 and 33) that changes state between the upper block side and the upper pan side ball stopper according to the opening / closing operation of the dispensing block 122 with respect to the front block 121. The upper plate side restriction changing member 253 that changes the restriction state of the mechanism 251 and the front block 121 are formed, and the restriction state of the lower plate side ball stopper mechanism 252 is changed according to the opening / closing operation of the dispensing block 122 with respect to the front block 121. The lower platen side regulation changing member 254 is configured.

  Here, the inter-block game ball movement restriction mechanism 127 will be described in detail. FIGS. 11A and 11B are cross-sectional views taken along the line Y1-Y1 ′ in FIG. 2 illustrating an example of the upper plate side ball stopper mechanism and the upper plate side restriction changing member. FIG. 11 (A) and FIG. 11 (B) show a case where the payout block is in a closed state and an open state, respectively. 12 (A) and 12 (B) are respectively a cross-sectional view taken along arrows Y2-Y2 ′ and a view taken along arrows Y3-Y3 ′ in FIG. 2 illustrating examples of the lower plate side ball stopper mechanism and the lower plate side regulation changing member. It is sectional drawing. FIG. 12A and FIG. 12B show the cases where the payout block is in a closed state and an open state, respectively. The payout block 122 is changed from the closed state to the opened state by the rotation of the payout block 122. In FIG. 11B and FIG. 12B, the payout block 122 is translated by translation for convenience of explanation. A case where the front block 121 and the front block 121 are separated is shown. Even in this case, the operation of the inter-block game ball movement restriction mechanism 127 is substantially the same.

  As shown in FIG. 11 (A) and FIG. 11 (B), the upper plate side ball stop mechanism 251 corresponds to the flow prohibition position for prohibiting the flow of the game ball corresponding to the movement prohibition state and the movement allowable state. A flow restricting member 261 that is capable of translational movement between a flow allowance position that allows a game ball to flow down, and a pair of urging bodies 262 that urge the flow restricting member 261 toward the flow prohibiting position (only one shown). A movement restricting body (not shown) that restricts the movement of the flow restricting member 261 to the flow prohibiting position side. In the closed state of the payout block 122 as shown in FIG. 11A, the upper plate side restriction changing member 253 presses the flow restriction member 261 against the urging force from the urging body 262, and the flow restriction member 261 is maintained at the flow allowable position. As a result, a space through which the game ball can pass is secured at the upper plate outlet 502B, and free flow of the game ball is realized. On the other hand, in the open state where the dispensing block 122 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more as shown in FIG. 11B, the upper plate side regulation changing member 253 is separated from the flow regulating member 261, and the flow regulating member 261 is attached. Based on the urging force from the urging body 262, it is maintained at the flow prohibition position (the front block 121 side from the flow allowable position). As a result, the upper plate outlet 502B is narrowed and the flow of the game ball is prohibited. The lower plate side ball stop mechanism 252 flows down the flow-down restricting member 266 and the flow-down restricting member 261 that are rotatable between a flow-in prohibiting position for prohibiting the flow of the game ball and a flow-permitted position for allowing the game ball to flow down. A pair of urging bodies 267 (only one is shown) that urges to the prohibited position side and a movement restricting body (not shown) that restricts the movement of the flow restricting member 261 to the flow prohibited position side are included. In the closed state of the dispensing block 122 with respect to the front block 121, the relative position between the front block 121 and the dispensing block 122 is fixed by the locking by the dispensing block locking mechanism 125, so the lower plate side regulation changing member 254 is biased by the urging body 267. The flow restriction member 266 is pressed against the urging force from the pressure, and the flow restriction member 266 is maintained at the flow allowable position. As a result, a space through which the game ball can pass is secured at the lower tray outlet 503B, and free flow of the game ball is realized. At this time, the urging body 267 applies a rotational force that rotates the dispensing block 122 in the opening direction to the front block 121 via the flow restriction member 266 and the lower plate side restriction changing member 254. On the other hand, in the open state in which the dispensing block 122 is rotated by a predetermined angle or more with respect to the front block 121, the lower pan side regulation changing member 254 is separated from the flow regulating member 261, and the flow regulating member 266 is moved from the urging body 267. Based on the urging force, it is maintained at the position where the flow is prohibited. As a result, the outlet for lower plate 503B is narrowed and the flow of the game ball is prohibited.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the gaming machine main body 120 further moves the inter-block game ball according to the unlocking of the payout block 122 with respect to the front block 121 in the closed state of the payout block 122 with respect to the front block 121. An automatic opening restriction mechanism 128 that restricts the rotation of the dispensing block 122 relative to the front block 121 based on the urging force from the urging bodies 262 and 267 of the restriction mechanism 127 to a predetermined minute angle is provided. FIG. 13A and FIG. 13B are enlarged perspective views showing the vicinity of an example of an automatic opening restriction mechanism. FIGS. 13A and 13B show a closed state and an open state of the payout block 122, respectively. As shown in FIGS. 13 (A) and 13 (B), the automatic opening restriction mechanism 128 includes an engagement hill portion 271 formed on the payout block 122 and an engagement hill portion formed on the payout block 122. 271 includes a depressed portion 272 located on the rear side of 271 and an engaging claw portion 273 formed on the front block 121. As shown in FIG. 13A, the front end of the engaging claw portion 273 is disposed in the depressed portion 272 in the locked state of the payout block 122, and the engaging hill portion according to the unlocking of the payout block 122 Take 271. As a result, the rotation of the payout block 122 based on the two types of biasing bodies 262 and 267 constituting the inter-block game ball movement restriction mechanism 127 corresponding to the unlocking of the payout block 122 is engaged with the engaging claw portion 273. It is stopped by the frictional force with the hill portion 271. Note that, in the semi-open fixed state in which the rotation of the dispensing block 122 is stopped by the automatic opening restriction mechanism 128, each of the upper plate side ball stop mechanism 251 and the lower plate side ball stop mechanism 252 is in a movement prohibited state. .

  In a locked state of the dispensing block 122 with respect to the front block 121, a predetermined key is inserted into the key hole of the lock opening / closing operation mechanism 150 (see FIG. 1), and a predetermined operation (unlocking operation of the dispensing block) is performed by the key. When the counter-rotating operation of 90 degrees counterclockwise from the reference position (locking position) is performed, the movable shaft body 152 and the movable piece (not shown) are contrary to the case of unlocking the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to the outer frame 110. ) Rotates. The movable piece moves the front block side locking member 233 downward according to the rotation. As a result, the payout block side locking member 231 is disengaged from the engaging groove 233A, and the payout block 122 and the game block 123 are integrally rotated by a predetermined angle with respect to the front block 121 and stopped. This is because the dispensing block 122 starts rotating with respect to the front block 121 based on the urging force from the urging body 262 of the upper plate side ball stop mechanism 251 and the urging body 267 of the lower plate side ball stop mechanism 252. Thereafter, the rotation is stopped by the automatic opening restriction mechanism 128. If the hand is released from the key while the rotation of the dispensing block 122 is stopped by the automatic opening restriction mechanism 128, the dispensing block side locking member 231 attempts to return to the locking position by the urging force of the urging body 147, but at a predetermined angle. Therefore, the payout block side locking member 231 contacts the tip of the front block side locking member 233 and the pair of main body side locking members 144 do not return to the locking position. In this half-open fixed state, without the operation of the lock opening / closing operation mechanism 150, the payout block 122 is moved in the direction in which the payout block 122 and the front block 121 are separated from each other and in the direction in which the payout block 122 and the front block 121 are brought close to each other. Can be rotated. On the other hand, when the payout block 122 is shifted from the open state to the closed state, when the payout block 122 is rotated in the closing direction while the payout block 122 is not unlocked in the open state of the payout block 122, Since the payout block side locking member 231 and the front block side locking member 233 are in contact with each other and the rotation in the closing direction is prevented, in order to shift the payout block 122 to the closed state, the payout block 122 is temporarily changed. Unlocking operation must be performed.

  The front block 121 is mainly in a state in which a player can handle a game ball (hereinafter also referred to as “paid-out ball”) paid out in accordance with winning a prize or a rented game ball (hereinafter also referred to as “loan ball”). Stores, throws in a predetermined number of game balls (hereinafter also referred to as “bets”) as a starting condition for a unit game, accepts various inputs by the player to advance the unit game, The accompanying game state is notified, and visual and auditory effects accompanying the game progress are performed. The payout block 122 mainly returns the inserted game balls and pays out the game balls to the player. The payout block 122 takes in external electric power and supplies the internal electric power to each part of the ball-type rotary gaming machine 100. The game block 123 mainly performs comprehensive management of game progress such as lottery for determining a winning combination in a unit game, display of a result of a unit game based on the winning combination, and notification of an effect based on the winning combination. The front block 121 and the payout block 122 do not substantially depend on the type of the ball-type spinning game machine, and the game block 123 is detachably supported with respect to the payout block 122. By changing only 123 (generally referred to as “replacement”), it is possible to change to a gaming machine having other gaming characteristics. Hereinafter, the front block 121, the payout block 122, and the game block 123 will be described in detail in the order of each block.

  Prior to the description, for the sake of convenience of explanation, the spinning unit 710 in the game block 123 will be briefly described. As shown in FIG. 9, the game block 123 includes a left cylinder 810L, a middle cylinder 810M, and a right cylinder 810R. Plural kinds of patterns are drawn on the surface of each of the left turning cylinder 810L, the middle turning cylinder 810M, and the right turning cylinder 810R. The symbol display fluctuates by rotating all in a predetermined direction, and then the symbol display representing the game result is determined by stopping all of the left cylinder 810L, the middle cylinder 810M, and the right cylinder 810R.

And FIG. 17 only).

  Each of the base frame 300 and the front panel frame 310 is a frame body serving as a basis for fixing various devices and the like provided in the front block 121. The base frame 300 as a part of the gaming machine main body 120 has a pair of main body support mechanisms 130 for rotatably supporting and fixing the gaming machine main body 120 (see FIG. 4) and the outer frame 110 (see FIG. 4). 15 constituting the pair of main body side fixing members 132 shown in FIG. 15 and the main body locking mechanism 140 for locking the gaming machine main body 120 to the outer frame 110 (see FIG. 4). 14 for operating the mechanism 142 and the locking mechanism 142 (see FIG. 17), and a main body opening / closing detection device 160 (FIG. 14) for detecting the open / closed state of the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to the outer frame 110. 15) of the movable member 162 and the urging body 163 shown in FIG. 15 and the opening / closing smoothing mechanism 170 (see FIG. 3) for smoothing the opening / closing of the gaming machine main body 120 with respect to the outer frame 110. Inner roller 17 And an outer roller 172, and outer frame 110 antislipping members 180 shown in inhibiting 17 unintentional opening of the gaming machine main body 120 (see FIG. 9) for (see FIG. 9) is attached. Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the front block 121 will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 15.

  The game area fluoroscopic panel 301 is inserted into the window portion of the base frame 300 from the rear side, and is screwed to the base frame 300 at the periphery of the game area fluoroscopic panel 301. A game block 123 (see FIG. 4) is disposed on the back side of the game area fluoroscopic panel 301, and the player can visually recognize various information and effects displayed on the game block 123 through the game area fluoroscopic panel 301.

  The upper storage tray 320 is attached to the base frame 300 so as to penetrate the front panel frame 310 and partly protrude to the front side below the gaming area fluoroscopic panel 301, and the game balls are used for betting. Store. In the upper storage tray 320, a player can directly input a game ball and a payout ball automatically flows. The upper storage tray 320, together with the return operation mechanism 350 and the ball lending operation device 390, constitutes an upper tray unit in which they are integrated. FIG. 18 is an exploded perspective view showing an example of the upper plate unit.

  As shown in FIG. 18, the upper storage tray 320 has a bowl-shaped member 321, a plate-shaped covering member 322 that covers the rear side of the bowl-shaped member 321, and the flow of the game ball is restricted to a single step and downward. A shielding rectifying member 323 (first shielding rectifying member 323A and second shielding rectifying member 323B) that shields the charging device 360 (see FIG. 15) from the outside, and the flow from the bowl-shaped member 321 to the charging device 360 is restricted. And a downflow restricting mechanism 324. The bowl-shaped member 321 is formed with an inlet 321A through which a payout ball or lending ball flows in at one end, and an outlet 321B (see FIG. 19) is formed. The bottom surface of the bowl-shaped member 321 is gently inclined from the inlet 321A side toward the outlet 321B, and the game ball automatically flows down from the inlet 321A toward the outlet 321B due to its own weight. Two alignment protrusions 325 for distributing and aligning the game balls in three rows (three rows) are attached to the downstream side of the bowl-shaped member 321 and below the shielding rectifying member 323. Thus, three outflow passages 321C (see also FIGS. 19 and 21) are formed in the upper storage tray 320. Further, the bottom surface of the bowl-shaped member 321 is gently inclined from the front side toward the rear side, and the game ball preferentially flows into the outflow passage on the rear side. Specifically, it flows more easily into the second outlet 321C in the middle than the third outlet 321C on the front side, and the first outlet 321C on the rear side of the second outlet 321C. Easy to flow into. Alignment protrusions (not shown) are also formed on the lower surface of the shielding rectifying member 323, and the alignment state of the game balls is maintained. The lower surface of the shielding rectifying member 323 is inclined so that each of the three outflow passages 321C has a width in the vertical direction that decreases toward the downstream side. As a result, even if game balls are stored in a stacked state, they are regulated in one step (one layer). Therefore, the inflow of game balls from the upper storage tray 320 to the throwing device 360 is smoothed.

  The flow-down regulating mechanism 324 allows or prohibits the inflow of game balls from the bowl-shaped member 321 of the upper storage tray 320 to the throwing device 360. The flow restriction mechanism 324 includes an operation member 327, a support member 328 that rotatably supports the operation member 327, and a flow restriction member 329 that moves in conjunction with the rotation operation of the operation member 327. The operation member 327 includes a rotation shaft portion 327A that is rotatably supported by the support member 328, an operation lever portion 327B that extends from one end of the rotation shaft portion 327A, and a flow-down restricting member that protrudes radially from the rotation shaft portion 327A. Three projections 327C for moving 329 to the inflow prohibition position, three projections 327D for projecting in the radial direction from the rotation shaft portion 327A and for allowing the flow restriction member 329 to move to the flow allowable position, and the rotation angle of the operation lever portion 327B And a rotation limiting wall portion 327E for limiting. The support member 328 is an operation lever portion of the operation member 327 by engaging the four bearing portions 328A to 328D that rotatably support the rotation shaft portion 327A of the operation member 327 and the rotation limiting wall portion 327E of the operation member 327. And a rotation limiting protrusion 328E that limits the rotation of 327B. The flow restricting member 329 moves the flow restricting member 329 to the flow allowable position by engagement with the power receiving portion 329A that moves the flow restricting member 329 to the flow prohibiting position by engagement with the protrusion 327C and the protrusion 327C. A power receiving portion 329B that receives power, and three restricting claw portions 329C that restrict the outflow of the game ball from the hook-shaped member 321 by projecting the hook-shaped member 321 to the outlet 321B or withdrawing from the outlet 321B. It is out. The three restricting claw portions 329C are provided corresponding to the three outflow passages 321C in the bowl-shaped member 321, respectively.

  Here, the operation of the flow restriction mechanism 324 will be described in detail. FIGS. 19 and 20 are cross-sectional views showing a flow allowed state and a flow prohibited state of the flow restricting mechanism 324, respectively. 19 and 20 also show the input device 360 for convenience of explanation. The restricting claw portion 329C is arranged so as to secure an area where the game ball can flow out from the outflow port 321B of the outflow passage 321C in the allowed flow down state shown in FIG. When the operation lever portion 327B (see FIG. 18) of the operation member 327 is rotated in this flow allowable state, the rotation shaft portion 327A is rotated according to the rotation, and the projection portion 327C is the power receiving portion 329A of the flow restriction member 329. Abut.

FIG. 26 and FIG. 27 are longitudinal sectional views showing an example of the charging device. FIG. 26 shows a case where the charging operation is not performed, and FIG. 27 shows a case where the charging operation is performed.

  As shown in FIG. 26, the closing solenoid 430 includes a solenoid body 431 including a fixed cylinder (not shown) and an excitation coil (not shown) arranged around the fixed cylinder at the periphery of the fixed cylinder; A plunger (movable magnetic core) 432 slidably inserted in a fixed cylinder of the solenoid body 431, a biasing body 433 (for example, a coil spring) that biases the plunger 432 in a direction to separate the solenoid 431, and a plunger 432 And a power transmission member 434 connected to the input flicker 440. When a current is applied to the excitation coil of the solenoid body 430, the plunger 432 moves so as to be close to the solenoid body 431 against the biasing force from the coil spring 433 by magnetic adsorption, and when the current of the excitation coil is cut off. Based on the urging force from the urging body 433, it moves to the opposite side so as to be separated from the solenoid body 431. At this time, the power transmission member 434 also moves following the movement of the plunger 432.

  The input flicker 440 is pivotally supported by the support shaft 441 fixed by the first casing member 411 and the second casing member 412 and the support shaft 443 and connected to the power transmission member 434 of the input solenoid 430. A support shaft 443 fixed by the end member 442, the first casing member 411 and the second casing member 412, and a tip member 444 rotatably supported by the support shaft 441 are provided. A tongue 434A formed on the power transmission member 434 of the closing solenoid 430 is gripped by a gripping portion 442A formed at one end of the base end member 442 and projecting bifurcatedly, and the base end member 442 is a plunger 432. It rotates about the support shaft 441 in conjunction with this movement. In addition, a movable connecting shaft (not shown) formed at one end different from the formation side of the grip portion 442A in the base end member 444 is loosely inserted into a bearing hole (not shown) formed at one end of the distal end member 444. The distal end member 444 rotates about the support shaft 443 in conjunction with the rotation of the proximal end member 442.

  The throwing operation in the throwing unit 361 of the first article will be described. In the case where the first insertion unit 361 is not performing the input operation, as shown in FIG. 26, the input solenoid 430 has a predetermined distance that the excitation coil is not excited and the plunger 432 is separated from the solenoid body 431. The throwing flicker 440 is configured such that a part of the spire-shaped regulating portion 444B formed at one end different from the bearing hole forming side of the tip member 444 is a spherical passage. This is a charging-inhibited state in which the inflow from the standby passage 421 to the input passage 422 is prohibited, which is disposed inside the 420. The closing flicker 440 is applied by applying a current to the exciting coil based on the transition of the closing control signal from the main control board 751 (see FIG. 46) of the main controller 750 (see FIG. 40) to the ON state. When 430 is operated, the plunger 432 translates upward (toward the solenoid body 431 side) against the biasing force from the biasing body 433 according to the excitation of the exciting coil. Based on the movement of the plunger 432, the power transmission member 434 also translates upward, and the base end member 442 connected to the power transmission member 434 rotates around the support shaft 441 (rotates counterclockwise in the figure). Further, based on the rotation of the base end member 442, the distal end member 444 rotates in the opposite direction to the base end member 442 around the support shaft 443 (rotates clockwise in the drawing). Accordingly, the restricting portion 444B moves in a direction in which it is removed from the ball passage 420 according to the rotation of the tip member 444. When the translation of the plunger 432 is completed and the plunger 432 is disposed at a predetermined operating position, as shown in FIG. 27, the closing flicker 440 has the restricting portion 444B of the tip member 444 disposed outside the ball passage 420. An inflow allowable state in which the inflow from the standby passage 421 to the input passage 422 is permitted. Note that the plunger 432 receives a biasing force in a direction to return the biasing body 433 to the non-operating position in the inflow allowed state. In the inflow permitting state, the game balls arranged in the standby passage 421 sequentially flow into the input passage 422 due to their own weight.

  On the contrary, when the current to the exciting coil is cut off based on the transition of the closing control signal from the main control board 751 to the off state and the operation of the closing solenoid 430 is stopped, the exciting coil is demagnetized and the biasing body 433 is activated. The plunger 432 translates downward by the urging force from. Based on the movement of the plunger 432, the power transmission member 434 translates downward, the base end member 442 rotates around the support shaft 441 (clockwise in the drawing), and the base end member 442 Based on the rotation, the distal end member 444 rotates about the support shaft 443 in the opposite direction to the proximal end member 442 (rotates counterclockwise in the drawing). As a result, the restricting portion 444B moves in a direction in which it is inserted into the ball passage 420 according to the rotation of the tip member 444. When the translation of the plunger 432 is completed and the plunger 432 is disposed at a predetermined inoperative position, as shown in FIG. Inflow is prohibited.

  The passage sensor 450 is disposed immediately downstream of the tip end portion 444B of the throwing flicker 440 in the throwing passage 322, and detects a game ball that has flowed into the throwing passage 322. The passage sensor 450 has a substantially U-shaped cross section that surrounds a part of the tip member 442 of the input flicker 440, and includes an upstream sensor 451 and a downstream sensor 452 disposed downstream of the upstream sensor 451. I have. The upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 are provided at a predetermined interval shorter than the diameter of one game ball. Each of the upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 includes a light emitting element (not shown) disposed on either the front side or the back side of the input flicker 440 and a light receiving element disposed on the other side. (Not shown), and the game ball is detected by a change in the light receiving state of the inspection light from the light emitting element in the light receiving element. The upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 output a signal corresponding to the detection state based on the detection state of the game ball to the main control board 751 via the input system signal relay device 368.

  From the state where both the upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 are not detecting the game ball, the state where only the upstream sensor 451 is detecting the game ball, the upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 are simultaneously the game ball. In this order, the state where the upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 are not detecting the game ball is returned to the state where only the downstream sensor 452 is detecting the game ball. When these state transitions are performed within the predetermined permissible passage time, a game of one ball is performed on the main control board 751 based on the change patterns of the signals output from the upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452. It is determined that the ball has been successfully inserted. Further, based on the detection of the game ball by the passage sensor 450, control of the making solenoid 430 for stopping the making operation on the main control board 751 of the main controller 750 is executed. Specifically, based on the detection of the game ball by the passage sensor 450, the upstream sensor 451 in a state where the number of normally inserted game balls is one less than the number to be inserted by the first insertion unit 361. Detects a game ball, the operation of the making solenoid 430 is stopped, and the making flicker 440 shifts to the making prohibited state. It should be noted that the game ball is not normal, such as when the state where only the downstream sensor 452 detects the game ball changes to the state where both the upstream sensor 451 and the downstream sensor 452 are simultaneously detecting the game ball. When it is determined that the game has not been thrown in, the notification device group and the sound device group notify the occurrence of the throw-in error, and the game progress is stopped. Thereby, it is possible to suppress a game from being played by an illegal act using a fraudulent tool as if a game ball has been inserted.

  The count sensor 460 detects the number of game balls thrown by the first throwing portion 361 to the third throwing portion 363 separately from the passing sensor 450, and enters the detection state based on the detection state of the gaming balls. A corresponding signal is output to the main control board 751 of the main control device 750 via the input signal relay device 368. If the inserted number counted based on the detection of the game ball in the count sensor 460 is less than the number of game balls determined to be normal based on the detection of the game ball in the passage sensor 450, an insertion number error Accordingly, the notification device group and the sound device group notify the occurrence of the insertion number error, and the progress of the game is stopped. As a result, it is possible to further favorably prevent a game from being played by a fraudulent act using a fraudulent tool as if a game ball has been inserted. Further, the count sensor 460 detects the passage of the game ball by an action different from that of the passage sensor 450. Specifically, the passage sensor 450 is an optical sensor, but the count sensor 460 is a magnetic sensor. As a result, it is possible to determine whether or not the material passed through the count sensor 460 is an iron material, and a game may be performed by an illegal act of inserting an inexpensive resin game ball or the like different from a regular iron game ball. Can be suppressed.

  Here, the return operation of the input device 360 based on the operation of the return operation mechanism 350 will be described. FIG. 28 and FIG. 29 are a cross-sectional view and a vertical cross-sectional view, respectively, showing an example of the charging device in a return state. When the return operation mechanism 350 is not operated, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, the return shutter 364 is at the reference position, and the first input unit 361 to the third input unit 363 ( In FIG. 25, only the first insertion portion 361 is shown), a part of the return blocking wall portion 364A of the return shutter 364 protrudes inside the ball passage 420, and the first insertion portion 361 to the third insertion portion. In all of 363, inflow of game balls from the standby passage 421 to the return passage 423 is prohibited. When the return operation unit 352B in the operation member 352 of the return operation mechanism 350 is returned (clockwise rotation operation in the drawing), the operation member 352 moves the support shaft 351A against the urging force from the urging body 354. It rotates about the center (clockwise rotation in the figure), and the pressing member 353 rotates in the opposite direction to the operation member 352 based on the rotation of the operation member 352 (counterclockwise rotation in the figure). In accordance with the rotation of the pressing member 353, the pressing portion 353C presses the pressed portion 364D of the return shutter 364, and the return shutter 364 translates (moves downward in the drawing) from a predetermined reference position. In response to the movement of the return shutter 364, the return blocking wall 364A of the return shutter 364 moves to the outside of the ball passage 420 and the return window hole 364B and The guide piece 364C moves to the inside of the ball passage 420. As a result, as shown in FIG. 29, the return blocking wall 364A is arranged outside the ball passage 420, and the return window hole 364B and the guide piece 364C are arranged inside the ball passage 420, so that the standby passage 421 The inflow of game balls into the return passage 423 is allowed, and the game balls stored in the standby passage 421 and the upper storage tray 320 (see FIGS. 14 and 19) pass through the return passage 423 and the lower storage tray 330 (see FIG. 14). Move to). The return switch 367 detects the movement immediately after the return shutter 364 starts moving from the reference position. If the hand is released from the return operation unit 352A in this return permission state, the operation member 352 and the pressing member 353 are based on the urging force from the urging body, and the return shutter 364 is based on the urging force of the urging body 367. Return to the state shown in FIG.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the unit game start operation device 370 is attached to a portion of the front panel frame 310 that protrudes to the front side of the upper storage tray 320. The unit game start operating device 370 protrudes to the front side of the front panel frame 310 and is operated by a player, a start lever (input operation unit) 371A, and an operation detector (not shown) that detects the operation of the start lever 371A. And a start switch 371 including an urging body (not shown) for returning the start lever 371A to a predetermined reference position. Units on the main control board 751 (see FIG. 46) of the main controller 750 (see FIG. 46) according to the unit game start operation of the unit game start operating device 370 by the player, specifically, the pressing operation of the start lever 371A. A game start instruction is input. The start lever 371A is released from being pressed when the player releases the hand, and automatically returns to the reference position based on the urging force from the urging body. In response to the input of the unit game start instruction, a winning combination (including a lost combination) is determined from various combinations, and the symbols displayed by the left cylinder 810L, the middle cylinder 810M, and the right cylinder 810R (see FIG. 9) are displayed. Variation will begin.

  The unit game start operating device 370 further includes a light emitting device 372 (see FIG. 46) for notifying that the start switch 371 can be operated effectively. The light emitting device 372 lights up when the start switch 371 can be operated effectively. On the other hand, when the start switch 371 cannot be operated effectively, the light is turned off. In addition, as a case where the start switch 371 can be operated effectively, there is a case where, for example, a change in the symbol display is not performed and at least a minimum number of game balls are bet. Here, the minimum prescribed number means the minimum number of game balls that can be bet in a unit game. In a unit game in a normal game state, five, ten or fifteen game balls are bet (one bet, two bets or 3 bets) means 5 balls, and in a unit game or the like in a special game state, it means 5 balls when only 5 game balls can be bet. If there is no selection range for the number of bets that can be made in a unit game, the minimum prescribed number and the maximum prescribed number have the same value.

  The symbol variation stop operation device 380 is disposed at a portion of the front block 121 that protrudes to the front side of the upper storage tray 320. The symbol fluctuation stopping operation device 380 stops the rotation of the left turning cylinder stop operating unit 380L for inputting a left turning cylinder stop instruction and the middle turning cylinder 810M (see FIG. 9) in order to stop the rotation of the left turning cylinder 810L. In order to stop the rotation of the right turn cylinder 810R, a right rotation stop operation section 380R for inputting a right rotation stop instruction is provided. . Left swirl stop operation unit 380L projects to the front side of upper storage tray 320 and detects the operation of left swirl stop button (input operation unit) 381L operated by the player and left swirl stop button 381L. Left turn cylinder stop switch 384L (refer to FIG. 46: a kind of turn cylinder stop switch) including a device (not shown) and an urging member (not shown) for returning the left turn cylinder stop button 381L to a predetermined reference position. ). The left turning cylinder stop operation unit 380L further includes a light emitting device 385L (see FIG. 46) that notifies that the left turning cylinder stop switch 381L can be operated effectively. The light emitting device 385L is turned on when the left-turn cylinder stop switch 384L can be operated effectively, and is turned off when the left-turn cylinder stop switch 384L can be operated effectively. As a case where the left turn cylinder stop switch 384L can be operated effectively, there is a case where a predetermined time has elapsed since the last unit game and the left turn cylinder 810L is rotating in a steady state. Note that this is not the case when the middle-cylinder stop operation unit 380M and the right-cylinder stop operation unit 380R are being operated. As in the case of the left turning cylinder stop operation unit 380L, the middle rotation cylinder stop operation unit 380M includes a middle rotation cylinder stop button 381M, an operation detector (not shown), and an urging body (not shown). A rotating cylinder stop switch 384M (see FIG. 46: a kind of rotating cylinder stop switch) and a light emitting device 385M (see FIG. 46) are provided. A right rotating cylinder stop operating unit 380R includes a right rotating cylinder stop button 381R, an operation detector ( A right turn stop switch 384R (see FIG. 46: a kind of turn stop switch) including a biasing body (not shown) and a biasing body (not shown) and a light emitting device 385R (see FIG. 46) are provided.

  In response to a stop input operation to the left-turn cylinder stop switch 384L by the player, specifically, the left-turn cylinder stop button 381L is pressed, the rotation of the left-turn cylinder 810L is stopped. When the player releases the pressing operation, for example, by releasing his hand from the left rotation stop button 381L, the left rotation stop button 381L automatically returns to a predetermined reference position and accepts the next pressing operation. It becomes a state. Similarly, the rotation of the middle cylinder 810M and the right cylinder 810R stops according to the stop input operation to the stop input operation to the middle cylinder stop switch 384M and the right cylinder stop switch 384R, respectively. Therefore, every time the left-turn cylinder stop switch 384L, middle-turn cylinder stop switch 384M, or right-turn cylinder stop switch 384R is operated, the variation of the symbol display by the left turn cylinder 810L, middle turn cylinder 810M, and right turn cylinder 810R is partially changed. When the left turn cylinder stop switch 384L, the middle turn cylinder stop switch 384M, and the right turn cylinder stop switch 384R are all operated, the change of the symbol display is completely stopped.

As described above, in the payout block base 500 as a part of the payout block 122, the payout block 122 (see FIGS. 9 and 10) is rotated with respect to the front block 121 (see FIGS. 9 and 10). A pair of block support mechanisms 124 (see FIG. 9 and FIG. 10) for freely supporting and fixing the discharge block side support member 212 shown in FIG. 31 and the discharge block 122 (see FIG. 9 and FIG. 10) are connected to the front block 121 (see FIG. When the game block 123 is fixed to the payout block 122 and the pair of payout block side locking members 231 shown in FIG. 30 of the payout block locking mechanism 125 that locks against the payout block 122 (see FIGS. 9 and 10). The payout block side fixing member 241 shown in FIG. 30 of the fixing mechanism 126 (see FIG. 10) and the payout block 122 to the front block 121. The upper pan side ball stop mechanism 251 and the lower pan side ball stop mechanism 252 shown in FIG. 33 of the inter-block game ball movement restriction mechanism 127 (see FIG. 10) for restricting the movement of the game ball, and a payout block for the front block 121 An engagement hill portion 271 and a depressed portion 272 shown in FIG. 33 of an automatic opening restriction mechanism 128 (see FIG. 13) for restricting automatic opening 122 are provided.

  The payout block base 500 is formed with a protective cover portion 501 that projects to the back side at the center and encloses the game block 123 (see FIGS. 40 and 41), and surrounds the upper portion and one side portion of the protective cover portion 501. Thus, a game ball tank 510, a tank rail 520, a case rail 530, a payout device 540, a CR unit connection device 590, a payout control device 560, and a power supply control device 550 are provided. Further, as shown in FIG. 34, the payout block base 500 includes an upper plate guide passage 502 that guides the game balls that have flowed out of the payout device 540 to the upper storage tray 320 (see FIG. 14), and the payout device 540. A lower tray guide passage 503 for guiding the game ball to the lower storage tray 330 (see FIG. 14) and a discharge passage 504 for discharging the game ball to the outside of the ball-type spinning game machine 100 are formed. The game ball that has flowed in from the inlet 502A of the upper plate guide passage 502 flows out of the upper plate outlet 502B (see FIG. 33) and flows into the inlet 320A (see FIG. 15) of the upper storage plate 320. In addition, the game ball that has flowed in from the inlet 503A of the lower tray guide passage 503 flows out of the lower tray outlet 503B (see FIG. 33) and flows into the inlet 331A (see FIG. 15) of the lower storage tray 330.

  A ball overflow detection switch 509 is provided in the lower dish guide passage 503. FIG. 35 is a rear view showing an example of the vicinity of the ball overflow detection switch. FIG. 35A shows a normal state, and FIG. 35B shows a ball overflow state. As shown in FIGS. 35A and 35B, the ball overflow detection switch 509 includes an operation unit 509A and an operation detection unit 509B. When the game balls flow into the lower storage tray 330 from the normal state shown in FIG. 35A, the lower storage tray 330 (see FIG. 14) is full, and the number of game balls stored in the lower tray guide passage 503 increases. The operation unit 509A is pressed in the direction of the operation detection unit 509B. When the pressure exceeds a predetermined pressure, as shown in FIG. 35B, the operation detection unit 509B detects the movement of the operation unit 509A, and the ball overflow detection switch 509 is turned on. When the ON state continues for a predetermined time, it is determined as a ball overflow error, and the execution of the payout by the payout device 540 (see FIG. 31) is temporarily stopped. On the other hand, when the operation lever 333 (see FIG. 14) of the lower storage tray 330 is operated and the number of game balls stored in the lower storage tray 330 decreases, the pressing force to the operating portion 509A decreases, and the pressing force is predetermined. When the pressure falls below the value, the ball overflow detection switch 509 is turned off. When the OFF state continues for a predetermined time, the ball overflow error is canceled, and the payout by the payout device 540 (see FIG. 31) is resumed.

  The game ball tank 510 is a horizontally long box-shaped container opened upward as shown in FIGS. 30 to 33, and a game ball supplied from a ball circulation device of a game machine fixing facility from one end in the longitudinal direction. Are replenished sequentially. An opening 510A is formed in the bottom surface of one end in the longitudinal direction different from the side to which the game ball is supplied in the game ball tank 510. The bottom surface of the game ball tank 510 is gently inclined in the longitudinal direction, and the game ball supplied to the game ball tank 510 moves to the opening 510A side by its own weight. Further, the game ball is inclined more gently with respect to a direction (front-rear direction) perpendicular to the longitudinal direction, and the game ball is guided predominantly to the front side (attachment side to the payout block base 500). Generally, a ball circulation device (not shown) is configured to supply a game ball from above in the vicinity of the front end of the game ball tank 510 and automatically stop when the game ball tank 510 is full. Therefore, by guiding the game ball to the front side preferentially in the game ball tank 510, the game ball tank 510 has a slight margin in comparison with the case where the game ball tank 510 is not inclined in the front-rear direction. The supply of game balls from the circulation device can be stopped, and the occurrence of ball clogging in the straightening and alignment of game balls in the tank rail 520 described later is suppressed. The game ball tank 510 is attached with an antistatic plate 511 covering at least the bottom from one end to which the game ball is supplied from the ball circulation device to the vicinity of the center, and the antistatic plate 511 is connected to the ground potential. Yes. The game balls supplied from the ball circulation device are easily charged with static electricity during polishing and transportation of the game balls. In a general ball-type revolving game machine, the circulation cycle of the game balls is changed to the ball game machine. Static electricity is likely to be accumulated because it is faster than that, but when the antistatic plate 511 is provided, the static electricity can be removed at the front stage even if a charged game ball is supplied. As a result, it is possible to prevent static electricity from being accumulated in the ball-cylinder gaming machine 100 and releasing the accumulated static electricity to the player, or causing various control devices to malfunction due to the static electricity.

  As shown in FIGS. 31, 32 and 34, the tank rail 520 is attached below the game ball tank 510, and the game ball flows into the tank rail 520 through the opening 510A of the game ball tank 510. The tank rail 520 includes a hook-like member 521 that forms four rows (four strips) of hook-shaped passages (not shown) partitioned by a partition piece (not shown), and a fixed shaft fixed to the hook-shaped member 511. A shaft 522, a pair of rectifying members 523 that are pivotally supported by the fixed shaft 512 and rectify into four strips while preventing clogging of the balls and align them in one stage, and a guide member 524 that guides the aligned game balls A flow restriction mechanism 525 for restricting the flow of the game ball from the tank rail 520 to the case rail 530. Each bowl-shaped passage is gently inclined toward the downstream side, and guides the game ball to the side inflow from the game ball tank 510 and the side opposite to the longitudinal direction. The rectifying member 523 operates like a pendulum by contact with a game ball with the fixed shaft 522 as a central axis. Four guide outlets (not shown) are formed in the guide member 524, and it is possible to prohibit or allow the game ball to flow out of the outlets by operating the operation portion 525A of the flow restriction mechanism 525.

  The case rail 530 is disposed vertically along the one side surface portion of the protective cover portion 501, and a game ball flows from the tank rail 520. The case rail 530 is formed with four ball passages 530A (see FIG. 34) that bend in the front-rear and left-right directions with wavy undulations so that game balls do not flow vigorously. In addition, a ball break detection switch 531 is attached upstream of the ball passage 530A. The ball break detection switch 531 is used when there is not enough game balls inside the case rail 530, that is, when the ball is clogged upstream of the case rail 530 and the game balls are not replenished to the case rail 530 or next time. The case where the maximum number of payouts cannot be completed is detected. Here, the ball break detection switch 531 will be described in detail. 36 (A) and 36 (B) are longitudinal sectional views showing an example of the vicinity of the ball-out detection switch. FIG. 36 (A) shows a state with a sphere, and FIG. 36 (B) shows no sphere. Represents a state.

  As shown in FIG. 36A, the ball breakage detection switch 531 includes a support shaft 532 supported by the case rail, an operation piece 533 rotatably supported by the support shaft 532, and an operation piece. It is comprised with the detection part 534 which detects the action | operation of 533. The actuating piece 533 includes a plate-like swinging portion 533 A that extends radially downward from the support shaft 532 and can close the ball passage 530 A in the case rail 530, and is above the support shaft 532 and more than the support shaft 532. An eccentric portion 533B that is biased toward one side and a sensitive portion 533C that protrudes from the eccentric portion 533B to the one side and that makes the detection portion 534 sensitive are formed. The detection unit 534 is installed on one side of the operating piece 533, and detects the movement of the sensitive unit 533C according to the rotation of the operating piece 533.

  As shown in FIG. 36 (A), when the game ball is sufficiently supplied into the case rail 530, the swinging portion 533A is pushed by the game ball to be substantially vertically downward, and the side wall of the ball passage 530A. It becomes. In this case, the sensitive unit 533C is separated from the detection unit 534, and the sensitive unit 533C is not detected by the detection unit 534. On the other hand, when game balls are not replenished to the case rail 530, such as when a ball is clogged upstream of the case rail 530, as shown in FIG. Run out of balls. In this case, the operating piece 533 is rotated by the weight of the eccentric portion 533B and the sensitive portion 533C, and the ball passage 530A is closed by the swinging portion 533A. At this time, the sensitive unit 533C is detected by the detecting unit 534. If it is determined that the no-sphere state has continued for a predetermined time based on the detection result of the ball-out detection switch 530, a light-out device error is notified by the light-emitting device group. On the other hand, when the ball clogging on the upstream side of the case rail 530 is eliminated, the game ball flows into the case rail 530 and the swinging portion 533A is pressed, so that the detecting portion 534 returns to a normal state where the sensitive portion 533C is not detected. . Based on the detection result of the ball break detection switch 530, when it is determined that the ball presence state has continued for a predetermined time, the notification of the ball break error is stopped.

  As shown in FIG. 31, FIG. 32 and FIG. 34, the payout device 540 satisfies a predetermined winning condition or a ball lending button in a state where a card (not shown) is inserted into a CR unit (not shown). By pushing (see FIG. 8), the game balls are lent out. In the present embodiment, the maximum number of acquired balls of a general ball game machine is 15 balls, whereas the maximum number of acquired balls of the ball-type revolving game machine 100 is 75 balls. Compared with the ball type game machine 100, from the viewpoint that the maximum number of acquired balls is larger than the ball ball game machine, it is possible to perform the payout in cooperation with a larger number of items, and can quickly pay out the payout ball and loaned ball I am doing so. In other words, if a ball game machine has one payout device of two payout systems (article 2), the game can proceed quickly, but the ball-type spinning game machine 100 has a large number of acquired balls and Since there is a restriction that the next unit game cannot be started unless all the prize balls are paid out, in this embodiment, the payout is performed in cooperation with the four payout systems (Article 4) so that the game can proceed without delay. By doing so, the payout of the payout ball is speeded up.

  As shown in FIG. 32, the payout device 540 includes a first payout device 541, a second payout device 542, and a cover 543 that covers the back side of the first payout device 541. Each of the first payout device 541 and the second payout device 542 performs payout with two payout systems. Here, the first payout device 541 and the second payout device 542 will be described. Since the first payout device 541 and the second payout device 542 have the same configuration, only the first payout device 541 will be described in detail below. FIG. 37 is a partially exploded view showing an example of the configuration of the first payout device. The first payout device 541 includes a casing composed of a first casing 611, a second casing 612, and a cover 613. The first casing 611 is covered with the cover 613, and the second casing 612 is the first casing. By covering with 611, a ball passage 620 through which a game ball passes is formed in the first payout system and the second payout system, respectively. The first casing 611 also plays the same role as the cover 613 with respect to the second casing 612.

  The detailed configuration and operation of each payout system of the first payout device 541 will be described. In addition, since the structure of each payout system in the payout apparatus 540 is substantially the same, only one payout system will be described, and description of the other payout system will be omitted. 38 (A) to 38 (C) are longitudinal sectional views showing an example of the configuration of the first payout device. FIG. 38A shows a payout waiting state, FIG. 38B shows a payout state, and FIG. 38C shows a discharge state.

  As shown in FIG. 38 (A), the payout system of the first payout device 541 has a resin casing including a first casing 611 and a cover 613 (see FIG. 34). In addition, a payout flicker 640, a payout solenoid 630, and a switching portion 684 </ b> A of the switching member 684 are provided. Inside the first casing 611, there are formed a standby passage 621, a discharge passage 622 that extends substantially vertically downward on the downstream side of the standby passage 621, and a discharge passage 623 that branches from the middle of the discharge passage 622 and extends obliquely downward. Has been. The switching portion 684A is disposed at a branch portion from the payout passage 622 to the discharge passage 623. Normally, since the switching unit 684A is maintained substantially vertically upward, the game ball does not flow into the discharge passage 623.

  The payout flicker 640 regulates the inflow of game balls from the standby passage 621 to the payout passage 622. The payout flicker 640 includes a base end member 644 and a tip end member 643, and a movable connecting shaft 644 </ b> C formed on the base end member 644 is inserted into a bearing hole (not shown) formed in the tip end member 643. Thus, the base end member 644 and the tip end member 643 are connected. The proximal end member 644 and the distal end member 643 of the payout flicker 640 are rotatably supported by the support shaft 641 and the support shaft 642 of the first casing 611, respectively. The base end member 644 of the payout flicker 640 is provided with a grip portion 644B for gripping the tongue piece 634B of the payout solenoid 630. In addition, an opening / closing portion 643B that can project at a boundary portion between the standby passage 621 and the discharge passage 622 is provided at the tip member 643 of the discharge flicker 640.

  The payout solenoid 630 is to a ball lending operation device 390 (see FIGS. 14 and 46) in a state where a predetermined winning condition is satisfied or a card (not shown) is inserted into a CR unit (not shown). It is energized by the lending operation and operates to contract the plunger 632 upward. A knob member 634 having a tongue piece 634 </ b> B extending outward from one side surface of the plunger 632 is attached to the distal end of the plunger 632.

A protrusion 684C provided in the middle of the switching part 684A and a protrusion 683B provided at the base end 683A of the pressing member 683 are connected to the operation lever 682. That is, when the operation lever 682 is operated, the switching unit 684A and the pressing unit 683D rotate in conjunction with the rotation of the operation lever 682.

  When the operation lever 682 is operated counterclockwise in the drawing from the passage prohibited state shown in FIG. 38 (A), the switching unit 684A is shown in conjunction with the operation as shown in FIG. 38 (C). Rotating counterclockwise, the payout passage 622 is blocked according to the rotation, and the inflow of the game ball into the discharge passage 623 is permitted, and the pressing portion 683D is rotated in conjunction with the operation. The knob member 634 of the payout solenoid 630 is pushed up, and the payout flicker 640 is allowed to pass. Thereby, the inflow of game balls from the standby passage 621 to the discharge passage 623 is permitted. When the operation lever 682 is operated as described above while preventing the game ball from flowing by operating the operation portion 525A provided on the tank rail 520 (see FIG. 31), the operation lever 682 was stored downstream from the flow-down regulating mechanism 525. All the game balls can be discharged to the outside of the ball-type spinning game machine 100. Further, when the payout device 540 (see FIG. 31) or the case rail 530 (see FIG. 31) fails, the payout device 540 or the case rail 530 can be easily replaced.

  Further, a payout count switch 671 having a substantially U-shaped cross section is mounted, and the payout count switch 671 is disposed immediately downstream of the opening / closing portion 643B of the payout flicker 640 and detects a game ball flowing down the payout passage 622.

When the power switch 571B is in the on state, the external power is taken in and various control devices, various drive devices, Electric power is supplied to various switches. The reset switch 571C is a switch for determining whether or not to delete information stored in the RAM 751C (see FIG. 46) of the main control board 751 and the RAM 581C (see FIG. 46) of the payout control board 581. The reset switch 571C When the power switch 571B is shifted from the off state to the on state in the operated (pressed) state, all information in the RAM 751C and RAM 581C, etc. is reset, the ball-turning machine 100 is initialized, and the power switch 571B is turned on. When the reset switch 571C is operated (pressed) in the state and the gaming state is an error state, information related to the error in the RAM 751C and the RAM 581C is reset and the error state is released. The stop switch 571D is a switch for setting whether or not the game progress is temporarily stopped every time the big bonus is ended. The setting change switch 571E is a key switch for changing a probability setting for determining various lottery probabilities such as a winning combination of bonus combination. In the ball-type spinning machine 100, different probability settings such as a ball-out rate are set in advance in a plurality of stages (for example, six stages), and any one of the stages is set as a probability setting. The procedure for changing the probability setting is as follows. First, when the power switch 571B is in the OFF state, a predetermined setting key (not shown) is inserted into the setting change switch 571E and rotated 90 degrees clockwise. At this time, even if the setting key is released, the current state is maintained. In this state, when the power switch 571B is turned on, the current probability setting (for example, numerical values “1” to “6” is displayed on the gaming state display device 734 (see FIG. 40) provided on the front side of the gaming block 123. ]) Is displayed. When the reset switch 571C is operated in this state, the changed probability setting candidates are cyclically displayed on the gaming state display device 734 for each operation (for example, the numerical value displayed for each operation changes to 1 (In the case of “6”, it returns to “1”). When the unit game start operating device 370 (see FIG. 14) is operated (the start lever 370A is pressed) in a state where a desired probability setting is displayed on the gaming state display device 734 as a candidate for the probability setting after the change, the probability setting is performed. The candidate is fixed to the probability setting displayed on the gaming state display device 734. Thereafter, when the setting key is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise, the display of the probability setting candidates in the gaming state display device 734 disappears, and the probability setting is changed to the probability setting determined as a candidate above. The power failure monitoring circuit 571F monitors the voltage of the power output from the power supply circuit 571A, and the voltage within a predetermined allowable range is determined by the transition of the power switch 571B to the off state, the unexpected interruption of external power, or the unexpected voltage fluctuation. It is detected whether it became less than. If the state continues for a predetermined time, it is determined that a power failure state has occurred, and the ball-type spinning gaming machine 100 is stopped.

That is, since the 21 symbols are sequentially exposed from the window hole 700A of the game block base 700 when the right turn cylinder 810R makes one round, 24 pulses (= 504 pulses / 21 symbols) are required to switch from one symbol to the next. Cost. Based on the number of pulses from the time of reception of the signal indicating that the rotation position detection sensor 817 detects the passage of the sensor cut plate 816, it is possible to recognize which symbol is displayed through the window hole 700A, or The stop control can be performed so that the symbol is displayed through the window hole 700A. As the stepping motor 814, in this embodiment, a hybrid (HB) type two-phase stepping motor employing a 1-2 phase excitation method is used. Note that the stepping motor 814 is not limited to a hybrid type or two-phase, and various stepping motors such as a three-phase stepping motor and a five-phase stepping motor can be used. A drive signal (drive signal data) for the stepping motor 814 is given to the motor driver 809 as excitation data.

  The rotating position detection sensor 817 is a photo sensor in which a light emitting element and a light receiving element are paired, and the light emitting element and the light receiving element are arranged at a predetermined interval. The sensor cut plate 816 passes through the gap between the light emitting element and the light receiving element of the rotation position detection sensor 817 every rotation as the right rotation cylinder 810R rotates. Therefore, every time the right cylinder 810R makes one rotation, the passage of the sensor cut plate 816 is detected by the cylinder position detection sensor 817, and a signal corresponding to the detection state is output. Based on this detection signal, the main control board 751 of the main control device 750 confirms the angular position of the right cylinder 810R every rotation, and if there is a deviation, the rotation information on the main control board 751 is corrected. The

[Configuration of main features of the present invention]
The present invention relates to the board case (housing member 752 and lid member 753) of the main controller 750 shown in FIG. 41 and the board case (housing member 582 and lid member 583) of the payout controller 580 shown in FIG. It has the main features in the structure, particularly in the connecting and fixing structure of the substrate case divided into two. In the following, the substrate case of the main control device 750 will be described, but it can also be applied to other control substrates sealed in the substrate case such as the payout control device 580. 47 and 48 are a front perspective view and a rear perspective view, respectively, illustrating an example of the main control device, and FIGS. 49 and 50 are partial exploded perspective views of the front view and the rear view, respectively, illustrating an example of the main control device. FIG. 51 is a front view showing an example of the main control device. 47 and 48 also show the main mount 740. 49 and 50, various electric / electronic components other than the MPU 15 constituting the main control board 751 are omitted. In the following, for convenience of explanation, a right-handed coordinate system unique to the explanation of the main controller 750 as shown in FIG. 47 is introduced, and the directions of the arrows of the X axis, the Y axis, and the Z axis are changed. The X direction, the Y direction, and the Z direction are referred to as the opposite directions, and the opposite thereof are referred to as the anti-X direction, the anti-Y direction, and the anti-Z direction, respectively. Also, as shown in FIG. 47, the surface of the main controller 750 in which alphabetic characters are represented is referred to as a front surface (the right side surface in the above description), and the X direction and the anti-X direction are the right direction and left direction, respectively. The direction, the Y direction, and the anti-Y direction are respectively referred to as an upward direction and a downward direction, and the Z direction and the anti-Z direction are respectively referred to as a forward direction and a backward direction.

  47 to 50, the main controller 750 substantially accommodates the main control board 751 (a kind of [control board]) (only FIG. 49 and FIG. 50) and the main control board 751. A two-piece board case ([enclosure]] comprising a housing member 752 (a kind of [enclosure]) and a lid member 753 (a kind of [enclosure]) that closes the opening of the accommodation member 752 Body)], three connection fixing members 754A, 754B, and 754C (only FIG. 49 and FIG. 50) such as a break torque screw for connecting and fixing the housing member 752 and the lid member 753 in the first connection mode; 752 and lid member 753 are connected and fixed by a second connection mode different from the first connection mode, such as a connection fixing member 755 (only in FIGS. 47, 49 and 50), a storage member 752 and a cover member 753 Accommodated after connecting and fixing And a sealing seal 756 is adhered to continuously cover a portion of the timber 752 and the lid member 753. The main controller 750 is attached to the game block base 700 (see FIGS. 41 and 42) via the main mount 740 (FIGS. 47 and 48 only). The main mounting base 740 has a main attachment such as a screw that is inserted into the game block base 700 through the front side through hole 748A (FIGS. 47 and 48 only) and the rear side through hole 748B (only FIG. 48). It is fixed to the game block base 700 by a table fixing member (not shown).

  47 and 48, the engaging claws 23 (only the upper side is shown) and the upper side of the main mounting base 740 are formed at two places on the upper side and two places on the lower side of the housing member 752. Main controller 750 so as not to interfere with engagement claw portions 743 (only the lower side is shown in FIG. 47 only) formed corresponding to the four engagement claw portions 23 at the two locations and the two locations on the lower side. Is moved in the X direction and then in the anti-Z direction to bring the main controller 750 into contact with the main mount 740. After the contact, the main control device 750 is further moved in the anti-X direction so that the engagement claw portion 23 and the engagement claw portion 743 are engaged. At this time, the protruding piece portion 34 (only in FIG. 48) formed on the lid member 753 is provided with the drop-off preventing projection 744A (only in FIG. 48) of the flexible drop-off preventing plate portion 744 formed on the main mounting base 740. The drop prevention protrusion 744 </ b> A prevents the main controller 750 from dropping from the main mounting base 740 via the protruding piece 34. As a result, the main control device 750 is fixed to the main mounting base 740 and the movement of the main control device 750 in the X direction, which is the removal direction, is prohibited. Thereafter, through one of the four insertion tube portions 26 formed on the upper side of the housing member 752, four fixed tubes formed to correspond to the four insertion tube portions 26 on the upper side of the main mounting base 740. An irreversible connection fixing member (not shown) such as a break screw or a break pin is inserted into the portion 746 (only in FIG. 47), and the main controller 750 and the main mount 740 are further connected and fixed. Further, through the insertion hole 27 formed in the housing member 752, a reversible connection and fixing such as a screw is fixed to a fixed cylinder portion 747 (only in FIG. 47) formed in the main mounting base 740 and disposed in the gap 37 of the lid member 753. After inserting the member, the main controller 750 and the main mounting base 740 are further connected and fixed, and then the opening of the insertion hole 27 is covered and the right side surface of the housing member 752, the right side surface of the lid member 753, the main mounting A seal seal 741 (see FIG. 42) with a peeling trace is attached so as to wrap up to the back surface of the lid member 753 via the right side surface of the table 740. Accordingly, in order to remove the main controller 750 from the main mount 740, the seal seal 741 must be peeled off to remove the reversible connection fixing member, and the irreversible connection fixing member must be destroyed by a predetermined operation. When the main control device 750 is removed from the main mounting base 740, there are traces of peeling of the seal seal 741 and traces of destruction of the irreversible connection fixing member.

  Although it is extremely rare in normal use, a situation in which the main controller 750 has to be removed from the main mount 740 occurs, and it is assumed that such a situation can be dealt with. Specifically, the plurality of insertion tube portions 758 and the plurality of fixed tube portions 748 into which the irreversible connecting and fixing members are inserted are formed in the main mounting base 740 for this reason. In the case of inspection by repair, operation check, etc., the main controller 750 is removed from the main mount 740 and subjected to predetermined repairs and inspections. At 745, a new irreversible connecting and fixing member is inserted, and a new seal seal is attached. Note that the reversible connecting and fixing member inserted into the fixed cylinder portion 749 can be reused. Therefore, even if the destruction trace of the irreversible connecting and fixing member remains, there may be cases where a normal irreversible connecting and fixing member is newly inserted into the other insertion cylinder portion 758 and the fixed cylinder portion 748, In some cases, the seal seal is stuck and no trace remains. That is, when the irreversible connection fixing member or the seal seal is forged, it is difficult to distinguish between removal of the main controller 750 for a legitimate purpose and removal for an unauthorized purpose. However, in the case where fraud is performed on the main control board 751, the main control device 750 must be removed from the main mounting base 740, so that the removal of the main control device 750 due to an improper purpose may be detected. It is preferable to do.

  In the main control board 751, as shown in FIGS. 49 and 50, the MPU 15 and various electronic / electrical elements (not shown) are provided on the main element arrangement surface P7 (only FIG. 49) which is one surface of the circuit board 11. ), Circuit wiring (not shown), and various connectors (not shown) to which connection cables for connecting the main control device 751 to other control devices and drive devices are mounted. .

  The housing member 752 has a housing portion 20 (a kind of [second enclosure forming portion]) that substantially houses the main control board 751, and a housing member 752 and a lid member 753 that are slidably engaged with each other. Inside the groove portions 24 on both the left and right sides of the outer edge of the accommodating portion 20, there are ten accommodating side engagement flanges 29 ([second locking portion]) extending to five places on the right side and five places on the left side. 1 type), the MPU protection wall 25 that encloses the MPU 15 of the main control board 751, the accommodation member 752 and the lid member 753 in a first connection manner in one place on the lower side and the upper side of the accommodation unit 20 In the second connection mode different from the first connection mode, the three storage side connection units 21A, 21B, and 21C (a kind of [second connection unit]), the storage member 752 and the lid member 753 are extended in two places. The receiving side connecting part on the lower side of the receiving part 20 for connecting and fixing 1A and the housing-side connecting portion 22 extending adjacent is formed.

  The lid member 753 is engaged with the sealing portion 30 (a kind of [first enclosure forming portion]) that substantially seals the housing portion 20, and the housing member 752 and the lid member 753 so as to be freely opened. 10 accommodation side engagement flanges 39 (a kind of [first locking part]) extending to 5 places on the right side and 5 places on the left side of the outer edge of the sealing part 30; In order to connect and fix 752 and the lid member 753 in the first connection mode, three lid side connecting portions 31A, 31B, and 31C ([ Of the first connecting portion], adjacent to the receiving-side connecting portion 31A on the lower side of the sealing portion 30 in order to connect and fix the receiving member 752 and the lid member 753 in a second connecting manner different from the first connecting manner. The lid side connection part 32 formed in this way is formed.

  Here, the production of the main controller 750 will be described. First, from the state shown in FIGS. 49 and 50, the main control board 751 is brought into contact with the housing member 752 so that the main element placement surface P7 to which the MPU 15 is fixed in the circuit board 11 faces the housing member 752 side. A reversible fixing member (not shown) such as a screw is inserted into the insertion hole 20A formed in the housing portion 20 through the insertion holes 11A formed at the four corners of the circuit board 11, and the circuit The insertion hole 25 </ b> B formed in the MPU protection wall 20 is inserted through the insertion hole 11 </ b> B formed near the center of the substrate 11. As a result, the main control board 751 is attached to the housing member 752.

  After the main control board 751 is attached to the housing member 752, the housing side engagement flange 29 and the lid side engagement flange 39 are engaged. As a result, the lid member 753 is attached to the housing member 752. Here, a method of attaching the lid member 753 to the housing member 752 will be described. 52 is a cross-sectional view showing the vicinity of the storage-side engagement flange and the lid-side engagement flange, and is a cross-sectional view taken along arrow Y4-Y4 ′ in FIG. 49 and 50, after attaching the main control board 751 to the housing member 752, the lid member 753 is attached so that the housing side engagement flange 29 and the lid side engagement flange 39 do not interfere with each other. After moving in the Y direction, it is moved in the anti-Z direction, and as shown in FIG. 52 (A), the lid side engagement flange 39 is inserted into the insertion groove 24A of the groove 24, and the lid member 753 is accommodated. The member 752 is brought into contact. After the contact, the lid-side engagement flange 39 is further moved in the anti-Y direction, and the distal end 39A of the lid-side engagement flange 39 is inserted into the indented groove 24B of the groove 24. As a result, as shown in FIG. 52 (B), the distal end portion 29A of the accommodating side engaging flange portion 29 is inserted into the flange groove 39B of the lid side engaging flange portion 39, and the accommodating side engaging flange portion 29 is inserted. And the lid side engaging flange 39 are engaged. In this state, when the lid member 753 is moved in the Y direction, the engagement between the accommodation-side engagement flange 29 and the lid-side engagement flange 39 can be released.

  When the lid member 753 is attached to the housing member 752, the housing portion 20 and the sealing portion 30 are disposed at a predetermined facing position, and the housing side coupling portions 21A to 21C and 22 and the lid side coupling portion 31A to 31A. 31C and 32 are arrange | positioned in a predetermined opposing position. The housing part 20 and the sealing part 30 are arranged at predetermined opposing positions to form a substantially closed space, and the main control board 751 is sealed in the closed space. After attaching the lid member 753 to the housing member 752, the connection fixing members 754A to 754C are mounted on the housing side coupling portions 21A to 21C and the lid side coupling portions 31A to 31C and the housing side coupling portions 21A to 21C and the lid The side connection portions 31 </ b> A to 31 </ b> C are integrally resin-fixed, and the connection fixing member 755 is attached to the storage side connection portion 22 and the lid side connection portion 32. Thereafter, seal seals 756 and 757 are attached to predetermined positions. Thereby, the production of the main controller 750 is completed.

  In the main controller 750, the MPU 15 is disposed inside the MPU protection wall 25, and various connectors (not shown) mounted on the main element disposition surface P7 are inserted through holes 20B formed in the housing portion 20. It arrange | positions so that a part may protrude outside the accommodating member 752 through (refer FIG. 51). The outlines of the various insertion holes 20B are substantially the same as the external shapes of the various connectors associated therewith, and foreign substances are prevented from being inserted through the gaps between the various insertion holes 20B and the various connectors. . Thus, when the lid member 753 and the housing member 752 are engaged, the main control board 751 is sealed in a substantially closed space. In particular, the MPU 15 is disposed in a closed space constituted by the MPU protection wall 25, the accommodating portion 20, and the circuit board 11 and is further fixed by a reversible fixing member in the vicinity of the MPU 15, thereby enabling the double and A portion (for example, a side surface portion) that is tightly sealed and inconspicuous after foreign matter is inserted from the gap between the insertion hole 20B and the connector or the main mounting base 740 of the main controller 750 is mounted in the housing portion 20. For example, it is strictly prevented that an illegal external signal is input to the MPU 15 by drilling. Furthermore, a removal prevention wall 25D is formed on the MPU protection wall 25, and it is more strictly suppressed that an illegal act of replacing the MPU 15 itself is performed. Here, the protection structure of the MPU 15 will be described in detail. 53, 54 and 55 are a perspective front view, a longitudinal sectional view and a transverse sectional view schematically showing an example of the vicinity of the MPU of the main control unit, respectively. Note that FIG. 53A, FIG. 54A, and FIG. 55A show the configuration of this embodiment, and the others show the configuration of the modified example. 54A and 55A are a cross section taken along the arrow Y5-Y5 'and a cross section taken along the arrow X5-X5' in FIG. Similarly, FIGS. 54 (B) and 55 (B) are the Y6-Y6 ′ arrow cross-section and the X6-X6 ′ arrow cross-section in FIG. 53 (B), and FIGS. 54 (C) and 55 (C). ) Are the Y7-Y7 ′ arrow cross-section and the X7-X7 ′ arrow cross-section in FIG. 53 (C).

  As shown in FIGS. 50, 53A, 54A, and 55A, the MPU protection wall 25 protrudes rearward (main control board side) from the back surface of the housing portion 20. It is a cylindrical body having a convex shape in a longitudinal section, and protrudes downward from the upper rectangular space constituting portion 25B, the lower rectangular space constituting portion 25C, and the upper rectangular space constituting portion 25B, and a part of one end in the longitudinal direction of the MPU 15 5D (FIGS. 53A, 54A, and 55A only) and the lower rectangular space constituting portion 25C that protrude upward from the other end of the MPU 15 in the longitudinal direction. It is comprised with the removal prevention wall 25E which covers the front side of a part. A lead wire 15B (FIG. 55 (A) only) from the main body 15A of the MPU 15 penetrates the circuit board 11 and protrudes to the back side of the main element arrangement surface P7. To remove the MPU 15, the MPU 15 is moved on the front side. Although it must be moved in a certain (+ Z) direction, the removal prevention walls 25D and 25E cover the MPU 15 on the front side which is the movement direction, so that the movement of the MPU 15 is prevented. As a result, the MPU 15 cannot be removed from the circuit board 11. In the present embodiment, the above configuration is adopted, but other configurations may be used as long as the MPU 15 cannot be removed. For example, as shown in FIG. 53 (B), FIG. 54 (B) and FIG. 55 (B), the thicknesses of the left and right walls of the upper rectangular space constituting portion 25B ′ are gradually increased toward the front side. The thickness may be increased, or as shown in FIGS. 53 (B), 54 (B), and 55 (B), the thicknesses of the left and right walls of the upper rectangular space constituting portion 25B ′ may be set. The configuration may be such that the thickness increases continuously toward the front side.

  Here, the accommodation side connection portions 21A to 21C, the lid side connection portions 31A to 31C including the main characteristic portions of the present invention, and the configuration for connecting and fixing them will be described.

The closed line A ₁ B ₁ C ₁ D ₁ E ₁ F ₁ G ₁ H ₁ I ₁ J ₁ A ₁ is the outline. When the accommodation-side coupling portion 21A and the lid-side coupling portion 31A are normally opposed to each other, the points A ₁ to G ₁ on the accommodation-side connection surface SB of the peripheral wall 41 shown in FIG. , Connected to points A to G on the lid-side connecting surface SA of the peripheral wall 51 shown in FIG. 59 (C). Thereby, the through hole 50 of the accommodating side connecting portion 21A and the recessed hole 50A and the through hole 50B of the lid side connecting portion 31A are respectively determined by the shape of the opening AA of the recessed hole 50A (see FIG. (Not shown) and a second connection port (not shown) determined by the shape of the opening of the through hole 50B. In the following, the point A _i (i: integer) is the same point in the plane layer i (i = 1 to 5) having a different distance from the accommodation side connection surface SB along the normal direction of the accommodation side connection surface SB. The same applies to point B _i to point T _i (i = 1 to 5) and point H _i ′ to point L _i ′ (i = 1 to 5).

As shown in FIGS. 58 to 59, the through hole 40 is narrowed by the first projecting wall 42, the second projecting wall 43, and the dividing wall 44 on the side of the counter lid peripheral wall from the accommodation side connection surface SB. At the same time, it is divided by the dividing wall 44 into the first passage portion 40A and the second passage portion 40B. The first projecting wall 42, the second projecting wall 43, and the dividing wall 44 are directly above the first connection port (the recessed hole 50 </ b> A) on the side of the counter-cover peripheral wall (to the first connection port). They are arranged so as to confine the through hole 40 directly above the first connection port, and the dividing wall 44 divides the through hole 40 directly above the first connection port. Thereby, as shown in FIGS. 59 (A) and 59 (B), the planar layer Z2 including the end surfaces of the first projecting wall 42, the second projecting wall 43, and the dividing wall 44 on the lid peripheral wall side. In FIG. 60A to FIG. 60D, the first passage portion 40A of the through hole 40 has a cross-sectional shape having a closed line A ₂ K ₂ L ₂ G ₂ H ₂ I ₂ J ₂ A ₂ as an outline.

Further, the through-hole 40 does not change from the flat layer Z6 to the open surface SC on the lid peripheral wall side of the peripheral wall 41 (corresponding to the flat layer Z7 (refer to FIGS. 60A to 60D)) and is open. The opening AC of the through hole 40 in the surface SC has a closed line M ₇ N ₇ O ₇ P ₇ Q ₇ R ₇ S ₇ T ₇ M ₇ as an outline.

  Here, a manufacturing process of the first coupling and fixing structure will be described. 61 and 62 are process cross-sectional views illustrating the manufacturing process of the first connection fixing structure. 61 (A) to 61 (D) and FIGS. 62 (A) to 62 (D) show cross sections at the same positions as those in FIGS. 60 (A) to 60 (D), respectively. In FIG. 61, a state in the middle of the production of the connection fixing by the connection fixing member 754A is shown, and in FIG. 62, a state in the middle of the production of the connection fixation by the connection fixing body 60 is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 61, the connection fixing member 754A ′ is connected to the storage-side connection as shown in FIG. 61 in a state where the storage-side connection portion 21A and the lid-side connection portion 31A are arranged at the predetermined facing positions. The through hole 40 on the first passage portion 40A side of the portion 21A is penetrated and inserted into the through hole 50B of the lid side connecting portion 31A. Specifically, the connection fixing member 754A ′ is formed on the male screw portion 91, one end of the male screw portion 91, a disk-shaped first screw head 92 having a radius larger than the radius of the male screw portion 91, a driver, A second screw head 93 formed with an engagement protrusion or an engagement groove corresponding to the tip shape of a predetermined tool such as a wrench, and the first screw head 92 and the second screw head 93 are connected. The male screw portion is screwed into the through-hole 40 so as to cut a tap on the inner peripheral surface of the through-hole 40 with a predetermined tool. After the housing-side connecting portion 21A and the lid-side connecting portion 31A are connected and fixed by the connecting and connecting member 754A ′, as shown in FIG. 62, the second screw head 93 is attached to the connecting portion of the connecting and connecting member 754A ′. Disconnect. As a result, as shown in FIG. 63, a connection fixing member 754A that is fixed so as not to be removed by a predetermined tool (not shown) such as a driver or a wrench is formed, and the accommodating side connection portion 21A by the connection fixing member 754A is formed. And the lid fixing part 31A are connected and fixed. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 62, the resin injection nozzle 99 is inserted into the second passage portion 40B of the through hole 40 to inject the photocurable resin 60 '. Thereby, first, as shown in FIG. 62, the recessed hole 50A of the lid side connecting portion 31A is filled with the photocurable resin 60 ', and then the through hole 40 is filled with the photocurable resin 60'. In this filling process, since the injection of the photocurable resin 60 ′ proceeds from the lid peripheral wall side to the counter lid peripheral wall side into the first passage portion 40 </ b> A of the through hole 40, the dividing wall is formed in the through hole 40. The space on the lid peripheral wall side than the end surface on the lid peripheral wall side of the first projecting wall 42 and the second projecting wall 43 as well as the space region on the counter cover peripheral wall side further than the end surface on the lid peripheral wall side of 44. The photocurable resin 60 ′ can be simply and reliably injected into every corner of the region. After completion of the injection of the photocurable resin 60 ', the resin injection nozzle 99 is removed from the through hole 40, and the photocurable resin 60' is irradiated with ultraviolet rays. As a result, the photocurable resin 60 ′ is cured to form the connection fixing body 60, as shown in FIG. 60, and the connection fixing body 60 includes the peripheral wall 41, the first protruding wall 42, the first 2 is joined to the surface of each of the projecting wall 43, the separation wall 44, the peripheral wall 51, and the connecting and fixing member 754A, and the connecting and fixing of the receiving side connecting portion 21A and the lid side connecting portion 31A by the connecting and fixing body 60 is completed. . At the same time, the covering of the connection fixing member 754A with the connection fixing body 60 is also completed. The connection fixing body 60 is colorless and transparent, and the type of the photocurable resin 60 ′ is selected so that the connection fixing body 60 is colorless and transparent. Through the above process, the first coupling and fixing structure is manufactured.

  The case where the connection fixing body 60 is cut with a tool such as a driver, a pick, a drill, or the like for an illegal purpose will be described for the first connection fixing structure shown in FIG. However, only the case where a part of the connection fixing body 60 has already been cut and the connection fixing member 754A has already been removed in order to remove the connection fixing member 754A will be described. 63 and 64 are cross sections showing a state in which the connection fixing body of the first connection fixing structure is cut along the normal direction (one direction) of the open surface SC of the accommodating side connection portion 21A and all possible cutting directions. FIG. 63 (A) to 63 (D) and FIGS. 64 (A) to 64 (D) show cross sections of the same portions as those in FIGS. 60 (A) to 60 (D), respectively. Yes. 63 and 64 show a virtual case in which the tools used for cutting the connection fixed body 60 do not have a finite size, but in actuality these tools have a finite size. In order to have it, a connection fixing body will remain in a wider area than that shown in FIGS.

  60, the connection fixing body 60 can be cut in the largest amount, and the through hole 40 of the accommodating side connection portion 21A and the recessed hole 50A of the lid side connection portion 31A communicate with each other. One direction in which the vicinity of the first connection port that can be cut most is the normal line direction (a kind of [most cutting direction]) of the open surface SC of the accommodating side connecting portion 21A. The normal direction of the open surface SC is the same as the normal direction of the accommodation side connection surface SB of the accommodation side coupling portion 21A and the normal direction of the lid side connection surface SA of the lid side coupling portion 31A. Even when the connection fixing body 60 is cut along one direction of the normal direction of the open surface SC, a part of the connection fixing body 60 is covered with the first projecting wall 42 as shown in FIG. Remains as a remaining portion 62 (a kind of [arrival blocking portion]) just below the peripheral wall side, and remains as a remaining portion 63 (a kind of [arrival blocking portion]) just below the lid peripheral wall side of the second projecting wall 43. doing. In addition, a part of the connection fixing body 60 remains as a remaining portion 64 (a kind of [arrival blocking portion]) just below the lid peripheral wall side of the separation wall 44. The remaining portion 62 and the remaining portion 63 are connected to the remaining portion 64 and there is no boundary between them, but these will be conceptually separated for convenience of explanation. When cutting is actually performed as described above, since the tool used for cutting has a finite size, the remaining portion 62 is larger than the remaining portion 62 on the lid peripheral wall side and in the vicinity thereof. Part (not shown) remains. The same applies to the remaining portions 63 and 64.

  The remaining portion 62 continuously remains in a part of the through hole 40 and a part of the recessed hole 50A across the first connection port, and the peripheral wall 51 together with the first protruding wall 42 and the peripheral wall 41. It is joined to. Accordingly, the remaining portion 62 connects and fixes the accommodating side connecting portion 21A and the lid side connecting portion 31A even after cutting. Similarly, the remaining portion 63 continuously remains in a part of the through hole 40 and a part of the recessed hole 50 </ b> A across the first connection port, and the peripheral wall 51 together with the second protruding wall 43 and the peripheral wall 41. Even after cutting, the housing side connecting portion 21A and the lid side connecting portion 31A are connected and fixed. It should be noted that the housing side is provided so as to secure a space region (a kind of [shielding space region]) in which the remaining portion 62 for connecting and fixing the housing side coupling portion 21A and the lid side coupling portion 31A is formed after cutting. The arrangement of the first protruding wall 42 and the second protruding wall 43 in the cavity of the connecting portion 21A is determined. Further, the remaining portion 64 continuously remains in a part of the through hole 40 and a part of the recessed hole 50A across the first connection port, and is joined to the peripheral wall 51 together with the separation wall 44 and the peripheral wall 41. Even after cutting, the accommodating side connecting portion 21A and the lid side connecting portion 31A are connected and fixed.

  Moreover, even if the connection fixing body 60 is cut not only in one direction of the normal direction of the open surface SC but along all the directions that can be cut, a part of the connection fixing body 60 is as shown in FIG. The remaining part 62 ′ (a kind of [a narrow reach blocking part]) remains in a part of the first projecting wall 42 directly below the lid peripheral wall side, and directly below the lid peripheral wall side of the second projecting wall 43. Part of the remaining part 63 ′ (a kind of [a narrow reach blocking part]) remains. In addition, a part of the connection fixing body 60 remains as a remaining part 64 ′ (a kind of [a narrow area reaching blocking part]) even in a part of the separation wall 44 immediately below the lid peripheral wall side. When cutting is actually performed as described above, since the tool used for cutting has a finite size, the remaining portion 62 ′ and the remaining portion 62 are generally disposed on the lid peripheral wall side of the first protruding wall 42. A remaining portion (not shown) having a size between that (see FIG. 63) remains. The same applies to the remaining portion 63 'and the remaining portion 64'. The remaining portion 62 ′ and the remaining portion 63 ′ are connected to the remaining portion 64 ′ and there is no boundary between them, but these will be conceptually separated for convenience of explanation.

  The remaining portion 62 ′ continuously remains in a part of the through hole 40 and a part of the recessed hole 50 </ b> A across the first connection port, and the peripheral wall 51 together with the first protruding wall 42 and the peripheral wall 41. Even after cutting, the housing side connecting portion 21A and the lid side connecting portion 31A are connected and fixed. Similarly, the remaining portion 63 ′ continuously remains in a part of the through hole 40 and a part of the recessed hole 50 </ b> A across the first connection port, and the peripheral wall together with the second protruding wall 43 and the peripheral wall 41. The housing-side connecting portion 21A and the lid-side connecting portion 31A are connected and fixed even after being joined to the head 51 and cut. In this way, a space region (a kind of [a narrow-screening space region]) in which the remaining portion 62 ′ for connecting and fixing the accommodation-side connecting portion 21A and the lid-side connecting portion 31A is formed after cutting is ensured. In addition to the arrangement of the first projecting wall 42 and the second projecting wall 43 in the cavity of the accommodation-side connecting portion 21A, the projecting amount of the first projecting wall 42 and the second projecting wall 43 and the end surface of the lid peripheral wall side The shape of the first projecting wall 42 and the second projecting wall 43 such as the distance from the accommodation-side connection surface SB, and the first projecting wall 42 and the second projecting surface 42 on the inner peripheral surface of the open surface SC of the peripheral wall 41. The shape of the inner peripheral surface of the peripheral wall 41 such as the distance from the protruding end to the cover peripheral wall side and the distance in the direction perpendicular to the end of the end surface on the cover peripheral wall side of the protruding wall 43 is determined. Further, the remaining portion 64 ′ remains continuously in a part of the through hole 40 and a part of the recessed hole 50A across the first connection port, and is joined to the peripheral wall 51 together with the separation wall 44 and the peripheral wall 41. Even after cutting, the housing-side connecting portion 21A and the lid-side connecting portion 31A are connected and fixed.

  In the ball-type rotating game machine 100, the connection fixing body 60 is unidirectional in the normal direction of the open surface SC from the open surface SC side of the accommodating side connection portions 21A, 21B, and 21C with a simple tool such as a pick, a driver, or a drill. Even if it is linearly cut along all directions that can be cut from the open surface SC side of the accommodating side connecting portions 21A, 21B, and 21C, 3, in order to maintain the connection and fixation between the lid side connection portions 31A, 31B, and 31C and the accommodation side connection portions 21A, 21B, and 21C, the lid formed with the lid side connection portions 31A, 31B, and 31C A lid-side connecting portion 31A (lid member 753) and an accommodating-side connecting portion 21A (accommodating) for opening a substrate case composed of the accommodating member 752 in which the member 753 and the accommodating-side connecting portions 21A, 21B, and 21C are formed. Moving the relative position of the timber 752) becomes difficult. When the substrate case is forcibly opened in this state, at least a part of the lid member 753 and the housing member 752 is destroyed. Specifically, when the remaining portions 62 to 64 (see FIG. 63) remain, translational movement for unsealing the substrate case becomes extremely difficult, and a large amount of the cover member 753 or the housing member 752 is greatly increased. When the breakage occurs and the remaining portions 62 ′ to 64 ′ (see FIG. 64) remain, the movement for opening the substrate case becomes easier than the case where the remaining portions 62 to 64 remain. Local destruction of the member 753 or the housing member 752, for example, destruction of the bridging piece 48 connecting the sealing portion 30 and the peripheral wall 51 in the lid member 753, connection between the sealing portion 30 and the outer wall 58. Destruction and destruction of the connection between the peripheral wall 51 and the outer wall 58, destruction of the bridging part 48 connecting the accommodating part 20 and the peripheral wall 41 in the accommodating member 752, and destruction of the connection between the accommodating part 20 and the bridging part 48 And rim 41 and breaking the connection between the bridge portion 48 is generated.

  In addition, the peripheral wall 41 of the storage-side connecting portions 721A to 721C formed on the storage member 752 that can be easily seen after being attached to the main mounting base 740 is connected to the storage portion 40 via the bridge piece 48 having a relatively low strength. Therefore, the breakage in the vicinity of the bridging piece 48 can be induced in a limited manner, and the occurrence of the breakage can be easily recognized with the main controller 750 attached to the main mount 740. .

  In addition, since the lid member 753 or the housing member 752 constitutes a two-divided board case of the slide opening / closing method, the housing-side connecting portions 21A to 21C and the remaining portions 62 to 64 and the remaining portions 62 'to 64' Even if it is peeled off from one of the lid side connecting portions 31A to 31C, the remaining portions 62 to 64 and 62 'to 64' are connected to the receiving side connecting portions 21A to 21C and the lid side in the process of translational movement for opening the substrate case. In order to be sandwiched between the connecting portions 31A to 31C, or to ride between the accommodating side connecting portions 21A to 21C and the lid side connecting portions 31A to 31C, the translational movement is prohibited or according to the translational movement. Or trigger destruction. Furthermore, in the case where the remaining portions 62 ′ to 64 ′ remain, the bonding area between the remaining portions 62 ′ to 64 ′ and the lid side connecting portions 31A to 31C is larger than the case where the remaining portions 62 to 64 remain. Since the remaining portions 62 ′ to 64 ′ are peeled off from the lid side connecting portions 31 </ b> A to 31 </ b> C to reduce the size, the translational movement for opening the substrate case becomes easier than the case where the remaining portions 62 to 64 remain. However, the remaining portions 62 ′ to 64 ′ can easily ride on the lid-side connecting portions 31A to 31C in the process of translational movement, and can induce destruction at a specific place as compared with the case where the remaining portions 62 to 64 remain. As a result, traces of opening that can be easily identified without depending on the cutting amount of the connection fixing body 60 remain in the substrate case. Further, since the recessed holes of the lid side connecting portions 31A to 31C are formed with tapered cavities extending toward the receiving side connecting portions 21A to 21C at the end portions on the receiving side connecting portions 21A to 21C side, so that they are tapered. The remaining portions 62 ′ to 64 ′ move along the inner peripheral surface of the hollow portion, and the lid side connecting portions 31A to 31C can be more easily climbed during the translational movement.

  As described above, in the ball-type rotary gaming machine 100, it is possible to suppress the opening of the substrate case itself, and to open it so that it is difficult to identify the trace of the opening. Can be suppressed very well.

  The present invention is suitable for a game machine such as a spinning machine using a sphere or a disk as a medium, and a ball game machine using a sphere as a medium.

750: Main control device 751: Main control board 752: Housing member 753: Lid member 754A-754C: Connection fixing member 21A-21C: Storage side connection part 31A-31C: Cover side connection part 40: Through hole 40A: First passage Part 40A: Second passage part 41: Peripheral wall 42, 43: Protruding wall 44: Dividing wall 48: Cross-linking piece 50: Recessed hole 51: Peripheral wall 60: Connection fixing body 62, 63, 64: Remaining part 62 ', 63 ', 64': Remaining part

Therefore, in the gaming machine according to the present invention, the opening of the outer enclosure is suppressed so that it can be returned to a state where it is difficult to identify the trace of opening.
