  As described above, the control board performs a jackpot lottery, and since the game value given to the player changes in the jackpot lottery, the control board that is illegally rewritten with the program that generates the jackpot is in the board box. If it is accommodated in the hall, a great loss occurs in the hall, and it is not possible to provide a fair game for the player.

  In the substrate box of the above-mentioned patent document 1, it is configured so that the substrate box cannot be opened unless the outer wall covering the hook portion is destroyed, so that traces of opening are easily found. The box lid and locking bracket can be removed without damage, and the box base and the locking bracket can be removed without damage by destroying the box lid and locking bracket of another board box. With this, a new board box can be easily manufactured. Therefore, a control board that has been rewritten with an illegal program can be accommodated in a newly produced board box from two or more board boxes, making it difficult to find a board box containing the illegal control board. There was a problem of becoming.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems and the like, and a gaming machine that leaves a trace of opening a board box and makes it difficult to produce a new board box from a plurality of board boxes. The purpose is to provide.

  In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 is provided with a first member provided with a predetermined number of first insertion holes, and a second insertion hole communicating with the first insertion holes of the first member. A member that is inserted into the second member, the second insertion hole of the second member, and the first insertion hole of the first member to couple the first member and the second member, and is equal to or less than the predetermined number. A first connecting member constituted by the first connecting member, wherein the first connecting member is inserted into the first and second insertion holes, and the first and second members are coupled to each other. Thus, at least a part of the fragile portion to which the curable material is attached is provided.

  In the present invention, the “fragile portion where the curable material is attached to at least a part” is a portion where the curable material is attached to at least a part, and is easily damaged when an attempt is made to remove the cured material from the first connecting member. The part formed so weakly. For this reason, it is a part that is planned to be damaged by an external force such as fraud in the design stage, such as being formed thinner or narrower than a part other than the weak part, and at least a part or the whole of the part is a curable material The part in the case of adhering is included in the weakened part in the present invention. In addition, even if the curable material is not attached to the part that is planned to be damaged due to being formed thin or narrow, the curable material is removed by connecting both sides of the part with the curable material. The weakened portion in the present invention also includes a portion to which the curable material is attached in the case where a portion that is easily damaged when it is removed from the first connecting member is provided in advance. Furthermore, in the following embodiment, a weakened portion is provided on the head of the first connecting member and the cured material adheres, but the weakened portion to which the cured material adheres is not necessarily provided on the head of the first connecting member, You may provide in other site | parts, such as the center part of a 1st connection member.

  The “first member” and “second member” in the present invention may be applied to any component that needs to be combined with a plurality of components in a gaming machine, and may be a plurality of members that constitute a board box. One of the first member and the second member may be a board box that houses the control board, and the other may be a counterpart part that attaches and fixes the board box to the gaming machine, or other parts. Also good.

  “Combine the first member and the second member” means that the first member and the second member are coupled to such an extent that the coupled state cannot be released without leaving a trace only by a tool such as a manual operation or a driver. It means to do. Each of the first member and the second member may be a single part integrally formed of a single material, or may be formed by combining a plurality of members.

  The 1st insertion hole and the 2nd insertion hole are the concepts including what penetrates and what does not penetrate, Comprising: One of the 1st insertion hole and the 2nd insertion hole is constituted by a penetration hole, and the other is a non-through hole It may be. Therefore, the “second insertion hole communicating with the first insertion hole” may be a hole penetrating from the first insertion hole side to the opposite side while forming a space continuous with the first insertion hole. A space continuous with the insertion hole may be a non-through hole in which a hole to be formed is blocked in the middle.

  “The number of the first connecting members is equal to or less than the predetermined number” means that the number of the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes is the same as the number of the first connecting members to which the curable material is adhered. Of course, the case where the number of the first connecting members is smaller than the number of the insertion holes is included. That is, of course, when all the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes provided in the gaming machine are inserted with the first connecting member having the curable material attached to the fragile portion, a plurality of the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes are provided. When the first connecting member is inserted into only a part of the insertion holes and the first connecting member is not inserted into the remaining first insertion holes and second insertion holes, for example, some of the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes When the first member and the second member are coupled by inserting a connecting member having no weak portion into the insertion hole, or when the game machine is delivered as a new one, the first insertion hole and the second part of the first insertion hole The first insertion hole for recombination used when the first connecting member is inserted only into the insertion hole, and once the first member and the second member are joined after being once opened in the inspection of the gaming machine or the like And the case where the second insertion hole is provided.

  The gaming machine according to claim 2 is the gaming machine according to claim 1, wherein the weakened portion intersects an insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. It is a site | part which protrudes in the direction, Comprising: It is a site | part formed weakly by reducing the thickness along this insertion direction, The hardening material has adhered to the protrusion site | part.

  In addition, “the part formed weakly by reducing the thickness along the insertion direction” is, for example, sufficiently thin compared to 1.5 mm to 3 mm which is a general thickness of resin It means thickness, preferably 1.0 mm or less, and more preferably 0.7 mm or less. Moreover, it is preferable that the amount of protrusion of the fragile portion protrudes to such an extent that it is easily damaged by an external force with respect to the thickness of the thinly formed portion, and the amount of protrusion is equal to or greater than the thickness of the thinly formed portion. Is required, and it is preferable to set the protruding amount to be twice or more the thickness. Moreover, the part formed weakly by reducing the thickness is formed only in a part near the base (or base end) part of the protruding part, and the part formed thicker on the tip side than that part is provided It may be.

  A gaming machine according to claim 3 is the gaming machine according to claim 1 or 2, wherein the weakened portion is in an insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. There are a plurality of projecting pieces projecting outwardly intersecting each other, and a continuous amount of cured resin is adhered to the projecting pieces by a curable material.

  The gaming machine according to claim 4 is the gaming machine according to any one of claims 1 to 3, wherein the first and second insertion holes have a shape in which the first connecting member is inserted and a hardened material is attached. The member located on the distal end side in the insertion direction when viewed in the insertion direction of the first connecting member is formed in a size that can be visually recognized in a state before the first connection member.

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, the first and second members are joined in a state where the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole of the first member and the second insertion hole of the second member. In addition, since the first connecting member is provided with a fragile portion to which the curable material is attached, the first connecting member can be taken out from the state where the first and second members are joined, or the first connecting member is attached to the first connecting member. If an attempt is made to remove the cured material, the fragile portion is easily destroyed, and it is difficult to remove the first connecting member intact. And since the 1st and 2nd insertion hole and the 1st connecting member are constituted by the same number or less and it is difficult to take out the 1st connecting member intact, when combining other 1st and 2nd members, It can suppress that a 1st connection member is reused. That is, for example, when the board box is constituted by the first and second members, the first connecting member cannot be reused, so that a new board box is manufactured from two or more board boxes removed from a plurality of gaming machines. Can be difficult. Moreover, since the weak part of a 1st connection member is easy to be destroyed also when trying to open a board | substrate box, it can suppress that the board | substrate box is unsealed itself. In addition, if the broken first connecting member is used for bonding the board box, the trace of the opening of the board box will surely remain, so let the hall officials discover that the board box has been opened. Can be made easier.

  In addition, for example, when the first member is a board box and the second member is a mounting base to which the board box is attached, a cover member that covers the board box, or a gaming machine main body to which the board box is attached, the mounting base or cover member, If the board box is illegally removed from the gaming machine body, the first connecting member is easily destroyed, so that unauthorized removal of the board box can be suppressed, and if the destroyed first connecting member is used. It is possible to make it easier for hall personnel to discover that the board box has been removed.

  In addition, since the cured material attached to the fragile portion of the first connecting member is generally easily whitened when scraped after being cured, when the cured material is to be removed, the first and second insertion holes, The first connecting member tends to have a white-colored portion, and when the cured material is attached again to the discolored portion, the colored portion remains at the interface between the original material and the added material. There is a possibility that the fragile portion is damaged when the curable material is removed. Therefore, not only the first connecting member is destroyed, but also the reuse of the first connecting member, the first and second members, etc. can be easily found, so that the plurality of first and second members, first connecting members It can be made difficult to produce a new combination of the first and second members and the first connecting member from the combination.

  According to the gaming machine of the second aspect, in addition to the effect achieved by the gaming machine of the first aspect, the fragile portion is in the insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. The crossing outward projecting portions are formed weakly by reducing the thickness along the insertion direction, and since the curable material is attached to the projecting portions, the first curable material is used as the first curable material. When it is going to remove from a connection member, it becomes easy to apply force to the base part of a protrusion part, and can make a weak part easy to break. Further, when the first connecting member is illegally extracted, if the force is applied to the fragile portion that intersects the insertion direction of the first connecting member, the first connecting member is easily damaged. The act of pulling out the connecting member can also be suppressed.

  According to the gaming machine of the third aspect, in addition to the effect achieved by the gaming machine of the first or second aspect, the fragile portion is inserted in the first insertion member and the second insertion hole in the insertion direction. Since there are a plurality of protruding pieces that protrude outwardly intersecting each other, and a continuous amount of the cured resin is adhered to the plurality of protruding pieces by the cured material, the cured material is removed from the first connecting member. In this case, it becomes easy to apply a force to the plurality of protrusions at the same time, and the fragile portion can be easily damaged. In addition, when the first connecting member is illegally extracted, if a force is applied to a location that intersects the insertion direction of the first connecting member, the fragile portion is easily damaged. Therefore, the first connecting member is illegally extracted. Actions can also be suppressed.

  According to the gaming machine of the fourth aspect, in addition to the effect achieved by the gaming machine according to any one of the first to third aspects, the first and second insertion holes are shaped so that the first connecting member is inserted. Since the member located on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the first connecting member as viewed in the insertion direction of the first connecting member is formed in a size that can be visually recognized before the curable material is attached, for example, the cured material is irradiated with heat, ultraviolet rays, or the like. When it is necessary to do so, it is possible to easily cure the curable material attached to the member located on the distal end side in the insertion direction.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the housing 11 is divided into two vertically by a partition plate 30, and a reel unit 31 constituting variable display means is attached to the upper portion of the partition plate 30. The reel unit 31 includes a left reel 32L, a middle reel 32M, and a right reel 32R each formed in a cylindrical shape (annular shape). Each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R is rotatably supported so that the central axis thereof is the rotation axis of the reel. The rotation axes of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R are disposed on the same axis extending in the substantially horizontal direction, and the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R correspond to the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R on a one-to-one basis. . Accordingly, a part of the surface of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R is visible through the corresponding display windows 26L, 26M, 26R. Further, when the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R are rotated forward, the surfaces of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R are projected as if moving from top to bottom through the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R.

  Here, the configuration of the reel unit 31 will be briefly described. Each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R is connected to a stepping motor (not shown), and each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R can be individually rotated, that is, independently driven by the driving of each stepping motor. It has a configuration. For example, the stepping motor is set to rotate once by giving a drive signal of 504 pulses (hereinafter also referred to as an excitation pulse), and the rotation position of the stepping motor, that is, the rotation position of the reel is determined by this excitation pulse. Be controlled. In the reel unit 31, a reel index sensor (not shown) for detecting that the reel has made one rotation is installed in each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R. When the reel index sensor detects that the reel has made one rotation, a detection signal is output to the main controller 101 (see FIG. 3) each time the reel is detected. Therefore, main controller 101 determines the angular position of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R for each rotation based on the detection signal of the reel index sensor and the number of excitation pulses output until the detection signal is input. It can be confirmed and corrected.

  On the outer peripheral surface of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R, a plurality of symbols as identification information are drawn in the long side direction (circumferential direction). In the plurality of symbols, 21 symbols are drawn at equal intervals for each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R, and three consecutive symbols among them are the upper, middle, and lower tiers of the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R. Each position is configured to be visible. Therefore, in order to switch the symbol at a predetermined position to the next symbol, it is necessary to output 24 pulses (= 504 pulses / 21 symbols) of excitation pulses. Further, the main control device 101 grasps the symbols visible from the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R based on the number of excitation pulses output after the detection signal of the reel index sensor is input, or displays the display window. It is possible to perform control to stop a predetermined symbol at a position where it can be visually recognized from 26L, 26M, and 26R.

  In addition, when the symbol is stopped, the effective lines include the upper symbol L1 connecting the upper symbol of the left reel 32L, the upper symbol of the middle reel 32M, the upper symbol of the right reel 32R, the middle symbol of the left reel 32L, and the middle reel. The middle line L2 connecting the middle symbol of 32M and the middle symbol of the right reel 32R, the lower symbol of the left reel 32L, the lower symbol of the middle reel 32M, the lower line L3 connecting the lower symbol of the right reel 32R, and the left reel 32L The lower symbol L4 connecting the upper symbol, the middle symbol of the middle reel 32M, the lower symbol of the right reel 32R, and the lower symbol of the left reel 32L, the middle symbol of the middle reel 32M, and the right symbol of the right reel 32R A rising line L5 is set. Then, when the combination line that has been activated, that is, when the symbols are stopped in a predetermined combination on the activated line, a privilege that a predetermined number of medals are paid out is given as a winning combination, or a privilege that the gaming state is shifted is provided. It has come to be granted.

  The maximum number of combination lines may be 6 or more, or less than 5. Further, the maximum number of combined lines may be changed according to a predetermined condition. For example, a V (reverse V) -shaped line or an L-shaped line may be validated.

  In addition, as a gaming state that shifts when the symbols are arranged on the active line, from the left, “7” symbols, “7” symbols, “7” symbols and the BB winnings when stopped alongside the symbols, If you stop alongside the “Watermelon”, “Watermelon”, and “Watermelon” symbols from the left, a watermelon prize will be established.

Since the length of each hole can be shortened compared with the case of forming with one hole, the bending width of each hole can be regulated. In addition, since the protruding piece 252 having a length over almost the entire width of the side wall portion 222 is provided and is inserted through the through hole 228, this insertion portion is a structure for connecting the box base 211 and the box lid 212. The box base 211 and the box lid 212 can be more reliably regulated even if they are provided at positions away from the box.

  The through hole 229 is a hole into which the protruding piece 307 (see FIG. 6) of the mounting base 202 is inserted when the board box 201 is attached to the mounting base 202 (see FIG. 4). When the projecting piece 307 is inserted, the movement of the mounting base 202 and the board box 201 in the direction away from each other (arrow Y direction) can be restricted, and four boards are provided in the left and right directions. The twisting and bending of the base 202 can also be restricted. Therefore, even if the board box 201 is forcibly removed to the near side, the board box 201 can be prevented from being removed from the mounting base 202.

  The side walls 223 and 224 are each provided with four substantially L-shaped base-side locking portions 230 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction (arrow Z direction) of the box base 211.

In addition, by providing the covers 247a and 248a, erroneous operations on the reset switch 72 and the key cylinder 73 can be suppressed.

  The side wall portion 242 is formed at substantially the center in the left-right direction of the box lid 212 and has two concave recesses 251 that abut against the protruding piece 227 of the box base 211, and the box base 211 side (arrow Y direction) from the recess 251 Three protrusions 252 are provided on the right back side and are inserted into the through holes 228 of the box base 211.

  The side walls 243 and 244 are each provided with four substantially L-shaped lid-side locking portions 253 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction (arrow Z direction) of the box lid 212. The lid-side locking portion 253 forms a passage 253a between the front-side portion 241 and the base-side locking portion 230 of the box base 211 is inserted into the passage 253a. Movement and twisting in a direction away from the box base 211 are restricted.

  The substrate box 201 is manufactured by relatively sliding and matching the box base 211 and the box lid 212. The board box 201 is manufactured by first attaching the main board 213 to the box lid 212, and then aligning the box base 211 and the box lid 212 so that the lid side locking portion 253 and the base side locking portion 230 do not overlap. The box lid 212 (or box base 211) is moved upward in the arrow Z direction (or down in the arrow Z direction) so that the lid side locking portion 253 is inserted into the passage 230a and the base side locking portion 230 is inserted into the passage 253a. Slide to the side). The sliding movement between the box base 211 and the box lid 212 is regulated by the protruding piece 227 and the concave portion 251 as described above.

  The side wall portion 245 has a lid-side return sealing portion 254 for sealing the box base 211 and the box lid 212 when the substrate box 201 is returned, and a lid-side return sealing portion 254 at the center of the box lid 212 in the left-right direction.

A screw groove 256 to which a screw (not shown) for screwing the box base 211 and the box lid 212 is screwed, and provided on the left and right sides of the screw groove 256, and the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are sealed. The side wall corresponding to the region where the lid side sealing portion 257 into which the sealing member 260 to be inserted is inserted and the lid side coupling portion 255 is disposed A protruding piece 258 is provided projecting downward (arrow Z direction lower side) 245.

  As will be described later, the coupling member 259 couples the substrate box 201 and the mounting base 202 and reseals the box base 211 and the box lid 212. The sealing member 260 includes the box base 211 and the box lid. 212 is sealed.

  The main board 213 includes various electronic components (not shown), a reset switch 72 for resetting the state of the slot machine 10, a key cylinder 73 into which a setting key for changing the setting of the slot machine 10 is inserted, and an external A connector 271 for electrical connection is mounted. The main board 213 is fixed to the box lid 212 side by screws 272, and the connector 271 is exposed to the outside from the opening 249 of the box lid 212.

  The reset switch 72 is a switch for resetting various states of the slot machine 10. This slot machine 10 has a backup function for various data, and even if a power failure occurs, it retains the state at the time of the power failure and returns to the state at the time of the power failure at the time of recovery from power failure (power recovery). It can be done. Therefore, for example, when the power supply is turned off in the normal procedure, such as when the game hall is closed, the state before the turn-off is stored, but if the power switch 71 is turned on while the reset switch 72 is pressed, the backup data is reset ( Initialized). If the reset switch 72 is pressed while the power switch 71 (see FIG. 2) is on, the error state is reset.

  The key cylinder 73 can be operated by inserting a setting key so that a hall manager or the like can adjust the payout of medals. That is, when the hall manager or the like inserts a setting key into the key cylinder 73 and rotates it, the setting state of the slot machine 10 (setting of the winning probability of each winning mode) is changed from “Setting 1” to “Setting 6”. It can be changed. When the setting state is set to “setting 1”, the lottery of the winning mode (role) is performed so that the expected value of the medal payout number is the lowest, and when the setting state is set to “setting 6”, The lottery of the winning mode is performed so that the expected value of the medal payout number is the highest. The reset switch 72 is operated not only when resetting the error state but also when changing the setting state of the slot machine 10.

  The connector cover 214 covers the connector 271 exposed from the opening 249. The connector cover 214 is configured to be fixed to the box lid 212 by inserting one end into the fixing portion 250b of the box lid 212 and rotating to the box lid 212 side and being locked by the fixing portion 250a. .

  Further, the connector cover 214 is formed with a through hole 273 penetrating in the left-right direction. When the connector cover 214 is fixed to the box lid 212, the through hole 273 passes below the protruding portion of the fixed portion 250a. A passage is formed. Therefore, when the connector cover 214 is fixed to the box lid 212 and the band is connected to the through hole 273, the connector cover 214 can be prevented from being removed (or removed by impact). In order to remove the connector cover 214, it is necessary to cut the band. Therefore, since the work is increased by that amount, it is possible to prevent the connector cover 214 from being removed illegally.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the mounting base 202 includes a fixed base 281 fixed to the housing 11 (see FIG. 2) side, a swing base 282 pivotally attached to the fixed base 281, The reinforcing member 283 is fixed to the swing base 282 and is pivotally attached to the fixed base 281 so as to be swingable.

  In this embodiment, the fixed base 281 is made of a metal material, and includes a back surface portion 291 that forms the back surface side (the right rear side in the arrow Y direction) of the fixed base 281 and a lower end of the back surface portion 291 (in the arrow Z direction). From the left and right sides of the back surface portion 291, the standing wall portion 292 erected on the lower side, the concave concave portion 293 formed in the middle of the right and left direction (arrow X direction) of the fixed base 281 and in the vicinity of the standing wall portion 292. A locking claw 294 that protrudes to the swing base 282 side (left front side in the direction of the arrow Y) and can lock the swing base 282, and an insertion hole that is formed at both left and right ends of the standing wall 292 and into which the shaft 295 is inserted. 296. The fixed base 281 is made of a metal material, but may be a resin material or a wood as long as the material is harder than the swing base 282 and the substrate box 201. Further, even if the material is softer than the swing base 282 and the substrate box 201, it is sufficient if the material has a certain strength or more depending on the thickness and shape of the material. For example, even when the material is the same as that of the substrate box 201, the thickness is twice or more the thickness of the substrate box 201. That is, as compared with the case where a member to be reinforced is not attached to the fixed base 281, if the fixed base 281 is not bent, it corresponds to a reinforcing member.

  The swing base 282 stands on the back surface portion 301 that forms the back side of the swing base 282, and on the left and right sides (both sides in the arrow X direction) of the back surface portion 301 on the anti-fixed base 281 side (the front side in the arrow Y direction). The side wall portions 302 and 303 are mainly provided, the side wall portion 304 is erected on the side opposite to the fixed base 281 below the back surface portion 301, and the opening 305 in the region surrounded by the side wall portions 302 to 304 is mainly provided. Configured. The opening 305 is an entrance / exit when the substrate box 201 is attached by sliding. Further, the swing base is basically formed of a transparent resin, so that the back surface of the substrate box and the back surface of the substrate can be visually recognized.

  The back surface portion 301 includes four attachment-side coupling portions 306 that are formed in the middle of the swing base 282 in the left-right direction and in the vicinity of the side wall portion 304 and to which the coupling member 259 (see FIG. 5) is locked. The four protruding pieces 307 that protrude further upward (upward in the arrow Z direction) from the upper end of the portion 301 and are inserted into the through hole 229 (see FIG. 5) of the box base 211 are provided between the protruding pieces 307. A lock unit 308 that locks the substrate box 201 is provided. The attachment side coupling member 306 is formed in a convex shape on both sides (both sides in the arrow Y direction) of the back surface 301 on the fixed base 281 side and the reinforcing member 283 side, and is accommodated in the concave portion 293 of the fixed base 281. It is comprised so that. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the attachment-side coupling portion 306 from being illegally destroyed by covering the attachment-side coupling portion 306 with the metal fixed base 281.

  On the reinforcing member 283 side (the left front side in the direction of arrow Y) of the side wall portions 302 and 303, a pressing piece 309 protruding inwardly facing each other is provided. The pressing piece 309 is a member that regulates the movement of the substrate box 201 in a direction away from the attachment base 202 in a state where the substrate box 201 is attached to the attachment base 202. The side wall portion 303 is also provided with a screw insertion portion 310 for screwing the substrate box 201. Therefore, even if the board box 201 is forcibly removed to the front side, the removal can be suppressed by the screw inserted into the screw insertion portion 310, and the removal can also be suppressed by the pressing piece 309.

  The side wall portion 304 is formed at substantially the center in the left-right direction of the swing base 282 and through holes 311 through which the protruding portions 258 (see FIG. 5) of the box lid 212 are inserted, and at both ends in the left-right direction. In addition, a shaft attachment portion 312 for attaching the swing base 282 to the fixed base 281 by a shaft 295 is provided. Further, the side wall portion 304 is provided with restricting portions 313 at both ends in the left-right direction, and the swinging range of the swing base 282 is fixed when the restricting portions 313 abut against the standing wall portion 292 of the fixed base 281. The base 281 is configured to have an acute angle.

  Further, a notch 314 is formed on both the left and right sides of the attachment side coupling portion 306 from the side wall portion 304 to the back surface portion 301, and the upper end of the notch 314, that is, above the back surface portion 301 of the notch 314 (arrow) A screwed portion 315 having a screw groove is formed at an end located on the upper side in the Z direction. The screw part 315 is a part to which a screw (not shown) is screwed when the reinforcing member 283 is fixed to the swing base 282.

  In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 283 is formed in a substantially L shape from a metal material. The reinforcing member 283 is formed in the center of the back plate 321 in contact with the back surface portion 301 of the swing base 282 and the left and right direction (arrow X direction) of the back plate 321 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 of the swing base 282. A through hole 322 that surrounds the screw hole 322, screw fixing portions 323 that are formed on the left and right sides of the through hole 322 and screwed to the screwing portion 315 of the swing base 282, and a side wall portion 304 of the swing base 282. The side wall plate 324 that abuts, the through hole 325 that is formed substantially at the center of the side wall plate 324 and through which the protruding portion 258 (see FIG. 5) of the box lid 212 is inserted, and the left and right ends of the side wall plate 324 are formed. And an insertion hole 326 into which the shaft 295 is inserted. Since the insertion hole 326 is located between the pivoting portion 312 of the swing base 282 and the insertion hole 296 of the fixed base 281, it also functions as a reinforcing member for the swing base 282 made of a resin material.

  The reinforcing member 283 is provided mainly for the purpose of reinforcement at the time of swinging of the swing base 282 and reinforcement for suppressing breakage of the attachment side coupling portion 306. Therefore, the reinforcing member 283 needs to be disposed on the lower end side of the fixed base 281 and the swing base 282. Since the attachment-side coupling portion 306 is disposed at the distal end side in the insertion direction of the substrate box 201, both the reinforcement during the oscillation of the oscillation base 282 and the reinforcement of the attachment-side coupling portion 306 are provided. This can be performed on the lower end side of the fixed base 281 and the swing base 282. Therefore, while the size (area) of the reinforcing member 283 is reduced, it is possible to reinforce the swing base 282 and to reinforce the attachment side coupling portion 306, thereby reducing the cost.

Further, the rear end side in the insertion direction of the substrate box 201 is often at a position where the operator can easily operate since the substrate box 201 is inserted. Therefore, when the attachment side coupling portion 306 is disposed on the rear end side in the insertion direction of the board box 201, the lid side coupling portion 255 (see FIG. 5) and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are also easily operated. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are illegally destroyed. However, since the attachment side coupling portion 306 is disposed on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the board box 201, it is possible to suppress the lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being easily operated by an unauthorized person. .
Further, in consideration of a case where the coupling member 259 is pulled out around the periphery of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the attachment side coupling portion 206 is disposed on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the board box 201. The bending width of the swing base 282 necessary for pulling out the coupling member 259 is arranged at the front end side in the insertion direction than when the attachment side coupling portion 306 is arranged at the rear end side in the insertion direction of the board box 201. Because there are more cases where it is, fraudulent persons are less likely to cheat. Further, the greater the amount of bending, the higher the possibility that the swing base 282 will be destroyed, so that it is possible to easily find out that there has been an illegal act. In addition, since the reinforcing member 283 is provided over almost the entire region of the swing base 282 in the left-right direction, twisting and bending of the swing base 282 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the swing base 282 from being twisted or bent and the connection of the attachment side coupling portion 306 with the coupling member 259 being released without destroying the attachment side coupling portion 306. Further, when only the vicinity of the attachment side coupling portion 306 is destroyed and the substrate box 201 is removed, and then the substrate box 201 is attached, it is difficult to confirm whether or not the substrate box 201 has been removed from the front side. However, since the attachment side coupling portion 306 is surrounded by the reinforcing member 283, it is not possible to bend only the attachment side coupling portion 306 by bending the swing base 282. Therefore, unauthorized removal of the board box 201 can be suppressed. In addition, since the reinforcing member 283 is provided over substantially the entire region in the left-right direction of the swing base 282, the back side of each sealing portion 234, 257 (see FIG. 5) can be covered. Therefore, since the contact from the back side to the sealing member 260 (refer FIG. 5) and each sealing part 234,257 can be suppressed, the sealing state of each sealing part 234,257 by the sealing member 260 may also be cancelled | released illegally. Can be suppressed.

  Further, the reinforcing member 283 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are covered with the substrate box 201 when the substrate box 201 is attached to the attachment base 202. Therefore, since direct contact with the reinforcing member 283 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 can be suppressed, it is possible to prevent the reinforcement member 283 from being illegally removed or the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being illegally destroyed.

  The mounting base 202 is assembled by first fitting the reinforcing member 283 to the swing base 282 and then screwing the screw from below the back side of the swing base 282 (from the direction indicated by arrow B in FIG. 6). Then, the swing base 282 and the reinforcing member 283 are fixed. Then, in a state where the swing base 282 and the reinforcing member 283 are integrated, the shaft 295 is passed through the insertion hole 296 of the fixed base 281 and the insertion hole 326 of the reinforcing member 283, and the pivoting portion 312 of the swing base 282 is inserted. Attached to the center.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the mounting base 202, when the fixed base 281, the swing base 282, and the reinforcing member 283 are assembled, the range in which the swing base 282 swings with respect to the fixed base 281 is restricted. The swing range of the swing base 282 is a range indicated by an arrow C, and is an acute angle with respect to the fixed base 281. The rocking base 282 and the reinforcing member 283 are fixed by inserting a screw from below the back surface of the rocking base 282. Therefore, a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted between the fixed base 281 and the rocking base 282. It is possible to prevent the reinforcing member 283 from being removed. Therefore, since the removal of the reinforcing member 283 surrounding the attachment side coupling portion 306 can be suppressed, it is possible to prevent the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being destroyed and illegally removing the board box 201 from the attachment base 202.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 8 and 9, the coupling member 259 and the coupling portions 255 and 306 will be described. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of the coupling member 259, FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the state in which the coupling member 259 is disassembled, and FIG. 8B is a diagram in which the coupling member 259 is coupled. It is a perspective view of a state. FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the board box 201 and the mounting base 202 are coupled by the coupling member 259.

  As illustrated in FIG. 8A, the coupling member 259 includes a cylindrical member 331 that is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and an insertion member 332 that is inserted into the cylindrical member 331. In the following description, the left front side is referred to as the front side and the right back side is referred to as the back side when viewed in the direction perpendicular to the page.

  The cylinder member 331 includes a first cylinder part 341 located on the front surface side, and a second cylinder part connected to the back side of the first cylinder part 341 and having an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the first cylinder part 341. 342 and the first tube portion 341 extending from the front side end portion to the second tube portion 342 side and inserted into the lid side insertion groove 401 (see FIG. 9) provided in the lid side coupling portion 255. A cylindrical insertion projection 343 and a first cylindrical portion 341 which is formed from the front end of the first cylindrical portion 341 to the second cylindrical portion 342 side and into which the insertion-side insertion projection 354 of the insertion member 332 is inserted. A notch 344, a second notch 345 located on an end line of the back surface side of the second cylinder part 342 and on the extending line of the cylinder side insertion protrusion 343 and the first notch 344, and the second notch 345 The cylinder side latch formed in the position which shifted 90 degrees to the perimeter direction of the 2nd cylinder part 342 with respect to 346 and are provided.

  The cylinder side locking part 346 is swingably disposed in a third notch 347 formed on the outer periphery of the second cylinder part 342. Specifically, the cylinder side locking part 346 is disposed on the front side of the third notch 347. An oscillating portion 348 connected to the end portion and extended to the back surface side, and formed on the rear side end portion of the oscillating portion 348 and attached to the attachment side coupling portion 306 (see FIG. 9) of the attachment base 202. The locking claw 349 is locked, a tapered surface 350 provided on the back side of the locking claw 349, and a locking surface 351 provided on the front side of the locking claw 349.

  The cylinder member 331 and the attachment coupling portion 306 are coupled by inserting the cylinder side insertion protrusion 343 of the cylinder member 331 into the lid side insertion groove 401 of the lid side coupling portion 255 and moving the cylinder member 331 toward the attachment side coupling portion 306. It is done by pushing. When the cylindrical member 331 is pushed into the attachment side coupling portion 306 side, the tapered surface 350 first comes into contact with the attachment side coupling portion 306, and when the cylindrical member 331 is further pushed in, the attachment claw 349 is moved by the attachment side coupling portion 306. The cylindrical member 331 is inserted by being pushed in the axial direction of the cylindrical member 331. When the cylindrical member 331 reaches the attachment position, the locking claw 349 is pushed back by the swinging portion 348, and the locking claw 349 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are coupled. At this time, the cylindrical member 331 is prevented from being pulled out by the locking surface 351 of the locking claw 349.

  The insertion member 332 is connected to the first insertion portion 352 located on the front surface side and the back surface side of the second insertion portion 353 and has an outer diameter smaller than the outer diameter of the first insertion portion 352. The second insertion portion 353 and the first insertion portion 352 extending from the front side end portion to the second insertion portion 353 side and inserted into the first notch 344 of the cylindrical member 331. An insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 and an insertion-side locking portion 355 that protrudes from the second insertion portion 353 to the back side are provided.

  The insertion-side locking portion 355 is formed at the swinging portion 356 connected to the back-side end portion of the second insertion portion 352, and at the back-side end portion of the swinging portion 356, and at the same time as the cylindrical member 331. The engaging claw 357 is engaged with the first notch 345, the tapered surface 358 is provided on the back side of the engaging claw 357, and the engaging surface 359 is provided on the front side of the engaging claw 357. ing.

  The insertion member 332 and the cylindrical member 331 are joined by inserting the insertion member 331 into the first notch 344 of the cylindrical member 331 while inserting the insertion member 332 into the first coupling portion 306 side. This is done by pushing When the insertion member 331 is pushed into the attachment side coupling portion 306 side, the tapered surface 358 first comes into contact with the inner surface of the first cylindrical portion 341. The insertion member 332 is inserted by being pushed in the axial direction of the insertion member 332. When the insertion member 332 reaches the attachment position, the locking claw 357 is pushed back by the swinging portion 356 and is locked by the second notch 345 of the cylindrical member 331, and the cylindrical member 331, the insertion member 332, Are coupled (state shown in FIG. 8B). At this time, the locking member 332 of the locking claw 357 prevents the insertion member 332 from being pulled out.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the lid-side coupling portion 255 is formed in a substantially cylindrical concave portion 401 into which the coupling member 259 is inserted and a part of the outer peripheral wall of the concave portion 401 and is inserted into the cylindrical side of the coupling member 259. The lid side insertion groove 402 into which the protrusion 343 is inserted and the through hole 403 into which the second cylindrical portion 342 of the coupling member 259 is inserted are configured.

  The attachment side coupling portion 306 has a hollow inside so that the coupling member 259 can be inserted, and is formed in a through hole 404 through which the coupling member 259 is inserted, and a part of the outer periphery of the through hole 404. At the same time, when the coupling member 259 is removed, it has a notch 405 configured to allow the locking claw 350 to pass therethrough. The notch 405 is provided at a position shifted by 90 degrees with respect to the locking claw 350 in a state where the coupling member 259 is coupled to the attachment side coupling portion 306, and the coupling member 259 can be easily removed. Is preventing.

  Here, the case where the board | substrate box 201 and the attachment base 202 are couple | bonded by the coupling member 259 is demonstrated. As described above, when the board box 201 is slid and attached to the attachment base 202, the lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are disposed at positions facing each other (positional relationship in FIG. 9). In this state, the cylinder member 331 is pushed in such that the lid-side insertion groove 402 is inserted into the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343. At this time, the locking claw 350 is pushed by the inner wall of the concave portion 401 of the lid side coupling portion 255 and swings in the axial direction. Further, when the cylindrical member 331 is pushed in and the locking claw 350 passes through the through-hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the locking claw 350 is swung outward in the radial direction of the cylindrical member 331 by the swinging portion 348. Locked to the upper wall 406 of the coupling portion 306.

  Then, the insertion member 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331 so that the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8) is inserted into the first notch 344 (see FIG. 8). At this time, the locking claw 355 is pushed by the inner wall of the cylindrical member 331 and swings in the axial direction. Further, when the insertion member 332 is pushed in and the locking claw 355 reaches the second notch 345, the locking claw 355 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the insertion member 332 by the swinging portion 356, and the locking claw 355 and the second notch 345 are locked.

  Therefore, since the coupling member 259 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction by the lid-side insertion groove 402 and the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343, the locking claw 350 of the cylinder member 331 is cut off by the attachment-side coupling portion 306. Rotation to the position corresponding to the notch 405 is restricted, and it is possible to prevent the lid-side coupling portion 255 and the attachment-side coupling portion 306 from being released.

  Further, the locking claw 350 of the cylinder member 331 is restricted from swinging in the axial direction because the insertion member 332 is inserted in the cylinder member 331. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the locking claw 350 from swinging in the axial direction due to an illegal act.

  Next, a procedure for releasing the connection between the board box 201 and the mounting base 202 will be described. As described above, the coupling member 259 is configured to be unremovable in a state where it is coupled by the lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306, so that the coupling between the board box 201 and the mounting base 202 is to be released. In this case, it is necessary to cut (break) the pair of connecting portions 407 that connect the main body portion of the box lid 212 and the lid side connecting portion 255 with a tool such as a nipper. When the connecting portion 407 is cut, the coupling member 259 can be rotated in the circumferential direction. When the locking claw 350 is rotated 90 degrees to a position corresponding to the notch 405, the lid side locking portion 255 and the coupling member are rotated. 259 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 can be pulled out as a unit. When the lid-side locking portion 255 and the coupling member 259 are pulled out, the board box 201 slides and can be removed from the mounting base 202.

  Therefore, when the board box 201 is removed from the mounting base 202, the connecting portion 407 is surely cut and destroyed, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 201 has been removed. .

  In addition, the lid-side locking portion 255 and the coupling member 259 in the pulled-out state have the locking claw 355 of the insertion member 332 exposed at the distal end side in the insertion direction of the coupling member 259. While being held in the axial direction, the locking of the tubular member 331 with the second notch 345 can be released, and the insertion member 332 can be pulled out of the tubular member 331. As a result, the locking claw 350 of the cylindrical member 331 can also swing in the axial direction, and can be pulled out from the lid side coupling portion 255. Therefore, since the coupling member 259 can be taken out without being broken, it can be reused when the other lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are coupled. In the present embodiment, since a total of four lid-side coupling portions 255 and attachment-side coupling portions 306 are provided, they can be reused at least three times.

  Further, the coupling member 259 is configured to be able to seal the substrate box 201 via a base-side return seal 231 (see FIG. 5) and a lid-side return seal 254 (see FIG. 5). The lid-side return sealing portion 254 is formed in the same shape as the lid-side coupling portion 255, and the base-side return sealing portion 231 makes it impossible to unlock the locking claws 350 and 355 of the coupling member 259. Therefore, it is formed in a sealed shape. Therefore, the coupling member 259 can seal the substrate box 201 so that it cannot be opened when the substrate box 201 is sent back to the manufacturer for repair of the main substrate 213 (see FIG. 5). It can be suppressed that the board box 201 falls apart and parts are lost during the return to the device.

  Further, the coupling member 259 is configured to be reusable, but the board unit 200 includes only one coupling member 259. And since it is used also at the time of return to a maker and is returned to a maker, it can also suppress that the coupling member 259 distribute | circulates to a market. Therefore, when the coupling member 259 is distributed in the market, for example, when one substrate box is illegally manufactured from two substrate boxes, it is possible to prevent the coupling member 259 from being used.

  Further, when the substrate box 201 sealed by the coupling member 259 is opened through the return sealing portions 231 and 254, the connecting portion 406 must be cut with a tool such as a nipper, so that the return to the manufacturer is possible. Even when the substrate box 201 is opened halfway, a trace remains, and the opening of the substrate box 201 can be found.

  Next, the sealing member 260 and the sealing portions 234 and 257 will be described with reference to FIGS. 10 is an enlarged perspective view of the sealing member 260, FIG. 10 (a) is a perspective view of the sealing member 260 as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 10 (b) is a perspective view of the sealing member 260 from the back side. FIG. FIG. 11A is a cross-sectional view showing a state in which the substrate box 201 is sealed by the sealing member 260. FIG. 11B shows the sealing member 260 and each of the sealing members 260 along the line XIb-XIb in FIG. It is sectional drawing with the sealing parts 234,257. FIG. 12 is a partial top view showing a state where the sealing portions 234 and 257 are sealed by the sealing member 260. FIG. 13 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a part of a state in which the sealing portions 234 and 257 are sealed by the sealing member.

  As shown in FIG. 10A, the sealing member 260 includes a shaft portion 361 and a head portion 362 connected to the shaft portion 361. In the following description, the head 362 side of the sealing member 260 is described as the front side, and the shaft portion 361 side is described as the back side. In addition, the sealing member 260 of this embodiment is comprised so that not only a shape but a color may differ from the coupling member 259, and it is formed with the colored resin material. By configuring the sealing member 260 with a colored resin material, it is configured so that the state of the sealing member 260 (breakage of a protruding portion 369 described later) can be easily confirmed.

  The shaft portion 361 is formed in a substantially cylindrical shape, and has a notch 363 formed on the outer periphery thereof, and a swinging portion that is connected to the front side end of the notch 363 and extends to the back side. 364, a locking claw 365 formed on the back side end of the swinging part 364 and locked to the lid side sealing part 257, a tapered surface 366 provided on the back side of the locking claw 365, It is comprised by the latching surface 367 provided in the front side of the latching claw 365. FIG.

  The head 362 is formed with six projecting portions 369 projecting radially outward from a central portion 368 passing through the shaft center of the shaft portion 361. Further, the projecting portion 369 is formed with an inclined surface 370 that is inclined downward toward the shaft portion 361 toward the outer side in the radial direction, and when a curing material X (see FIG. 12) described later is poured, the curing material Is configured to easily flow toward the shaft portion 361. In addition, the head portion 362 is formed with a flat portion 371 formed on a plane at a part of the outer periphery thereof, and the flat portion 371 is configured so that the sealing member 260 can be positioned in the insertion direction.

  As shown in FIG. 10B, a stepped portion 372 is formed on the back side of the head 362 so that the thickness of the protruding portion 369 is thinner than the central portion 368 passing through the axis of the shaft portion 361. Is formed. And since the protrusion part 369 has the inclined surface 370, thickness becomes thin, so that it goes to a protrusion front-end | tip direction. As a result, the protrusion 369 of the head 362 becomes weaker than the central part 368 when hardened by the curable material X. Therefore, if the sealing member 260 is forcibly removed, the protrusion 369 is always destroyed. Will be. The stepped portion 372 is formed in a shape along the inner shape of the through hole 424 (see FIG. 11) of the lid side sealing portion 257, and the flat portion 370 of the head 362 is inserted when the sealing member 260 is inserted. It can be positioned together.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the lid-side sealing portion 257 accommodates a concave head storage region 421 in which the head 362 of the sealing member 260 is accommodated, and a protrusion 427 of the base-side sealing portion 234. The projecting portion accommodating region 422, the shaft accommodating region 423 in which the insertion tip side of the shaft portion 361 of the sealing member 260 is accommodated, the head accommodating region 421 and the projecting portion accommodating region 422 are communicated, and the shaft portion 361 is inserted. Through-hole 424, a support portion 425 that contacts the lower surface of the protruding portion 369 of the sealing member 260 and supports the head portion 362, and a flat portion 370 of the head portion 362 that is a part of the side wall of the head accommodating region 421. And a plane portion 426 corresponding to the.

  The base-side sealing part 234 is formed in a flat-plate-like projecting part 427 that is accommodated in the projecting-part accommodating area 422 of the lid-side sealing part 257, and the shaft part 361 of the sealing member 260 passes through the projecting part 427. And a through-hole 428 to be inserted.

  Here, a procedure for sealing the box base 211 and the box lid 212 with the sealing member 260 will be described. As described above, the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are slid and moved after the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are aligned with each other, so that the sealing portions 234 and 257 are arranged at corresponding positions. This state is a state in which the protruding portion 427 of the base-side sealing portion 234 is accommodated in the protruding portion accommodating region 422 of the lid-side sealing portion 257 (positional relationship in FIG. 11A). In a state where the protruding portion 427 is accommodated in the protruding portion receiving area 422, the sealing member 260 is placed on the lid side sealing portion 257 so that the flat portion 370 of the sealing member 260 and the flat portion 426 of the lid side sealing portion 257 face each other. Is pushed into the through hole 424, the locking claw 365 of the sealing member 260 is pushed by the through hole 424 and is swung in the axial direction of the shaft portion 361. When the sealing member 260 is further pushed in, the locking claw 365 is inserted while being pushed in the axial direction by the through hole 428 of the base side sealing portion 234, and when the locking claw 365 passes through the through hole 428, the locking claw 365 is locked. The claw 365 is swung radially outward by the swinging portion 364 and is locked to the lower surface of the protruding portion 427 of the attachment-side sealing portion 234 (state shown in FIG. 11B). As shown in FIG. 11B, the curable material X is poured from the head 362 side in a state where the locking claw 365 of the sealing member 260 is locked to the lower surface of the protruding portion 427 of the attachment-side sealing portion 234. The substrate box 201 is sealed by firmly fixing the sealing member 260 and the sealing portions 234 and 257.

  Further, as shown in FIGS. 11A and 11B, the head accommodating region 421 is formed larger than the size of the head 362 of the sealing member 260. That is, the projecting tip of the projecting portion 369 of the head 362 is configured not to contact the head housing area 421. Therefore, the protruding portion 369 is thin and easily broken, but the protruding portion 369 can be prevented from hitting the head receiving area 421 when the sealing member 260 is pushed into the sealing portions 234 and 257. It is possible to prevent the sealing member 260 from being damaged before the sealing portions 234 and 257 are sealed by the member 260.

  Further, the direction in which the pair of locking claws 365 of the sealing member 260 are connected and the direction in which the box lid 212 is slid with respect to the box base 211 are orthogonal to each other. Therefore, even if the box cover 212 is forcibly slid to open the substrate box 201, the force acting on the locking claw 365 is greater than when the direction of connecting the locking claw 365 and the sliding movement direction are parallel. Since it becomes weak, it can suppress that the board | substrate box 201 is opened forcefully.

  In the present embodiment, the curable material X is always made of an ultraviolet curable resin that is liquid or pasty but gradually cures when irradiated with ultraviolet rays. Further, the curable material X may be composed of an adhesive such as epoxy or rubber, and if the substrate box 201 is composed of a material that can withstand curing heat, it may be composed of a thermosetting resin or the like. May be.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in a state where the lid side sealing part 257 and the base side sealing part 234 are connected by the sealing member 260, the protruding part 369 of the sealing member 260 is supported by the support part 425 of the lid side sealing part 257. A gap is formed between the sealing member 260 and the through hole 424 of the lid side sealing portion 257. This is because the inner diameter of the through hole 424 of the lid side sealing portion 257 is formed larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 361 (see FIG. 11A) of the sealing member 260. Therefore, when the curable material is poured from the head 362 side of the sealing member 260, it flows into the through-hole 424, so that the sealing member 260 and the lid-side sealing portion 257 can be firmly fixed.

  The through hole 428 of the base side sealing part 234 has a smaller inner diameter than the through hole 424 of the lid side sealing part 257. Therefore, the cured material that has flowed into the through-hole 424 of the lid-side sealing portion 257 reaches the upper surface of the base-side sealing portion 234, so that the sealing member 260, the lid-side sealing portion 257, and the base-side sealing portion 234 are integrated. It can be firmly fixed to.

  The lid-side sealing portion 257 is connected (bridged) to the box lid 212 by four connecting portions 431, and the base-side sealing portion 234 is connected to the box base 211 by two connecting portions 432 ( A bridge). Therefore, in order to release the sealing of the sealing portions 234 and 257 by the sealing member 260, since all the connecting portions 431 and 432 must be cut, the trace of the sealing release can be reliably left, and the substrate It is possible to easily recognize that the box 201 has been opened by the hall personnel.

  In consideration of the workability of resealing, a plurality of lid-side coupling portions 255 are arranged in the center in the left-right direction of the box lid 212, and the lid-side sealing portions 257 are arranged at both end sides in the left-right direction of the box lid 212. And it is arrange | positioned on the both outer sides of the lid | cover side coupling | bond part 255 (refer FIG. 5). In such an arrangement, in the single box state of the board box, the coupling at the central portion in the left-right direction is weakened. On the other hand, when the box lid 212 is located near the center in the left-right direction in a direction in which the box lid 212 and the box base 211 are separated from each other, the connection is connected from the lid-side coupling portion 255 toward the center portion. The stress of the part 431 increases and the connecting part 431 toward the center part is broken. Therefore, a trace of opening the substrate box can be left.

  Further, when the board box 201 and the mounting base 211 are coupled by the coupling member 259, when the periphery of the coupling member 259 is turned away from the board box 201 and the mounting base 211, the board box 201 and the mounting base 211 are arranged. Is restricted by the coupling member 259 and the pressing piece 309, the stress is increased in the coupling portion 431 coupled to the outside from the lid-side coupling portion 255, and the coupling portion 431 toward the outside is destroyed. Therefore, it is possible to leave a trace of removing the board box 201 from the mounting base 211.

  Moreover, the lid side sealing part 257 is arrange | positioned at the both ends of the left-right direction of the box cover 212 as above-mentioned (refer FIG. 5). That is, if an attempt is made to cheat on the main board 213 in the board box 201 and an attempt is made to pinch the boundary between the box cover 212 and the box base 211, or an attempt is made to twist the box cover 212 or the box base 211, the twisting and twisting of the box cover 212 and the box base 211 is prevented. The stress acts on the outer edge side of the substrate box 201 (that is, the side wall portions 223 and 224 (see FIG. 5)). Therefore, the thin rod-shaped connecting portion 431 as shown in FIG. 12 is easily broken when a twisting or twisting force is applied to the substrate box 201, so that it is easy to detect the occurrence of an illegal act on the substrate box 201. In particular, among the four connecting portions 431, the connecting portion 431 connected to the side wall portions 223 and 224 is easily broken, and by visually confirming the easily broken connecting portion 431, a person involved in the hall can easily perform an illegal act. A substrate box 201 that may have been performed can be found.

  As shown in FIG. 13, in the state where the sealing portions 257 and 234 are connected by the sealing member 260, the curable material X poured from the head 362 side of the sealing member 260 is poured in an amount covering the entire head 362. It is. That is, an amount of the curable material X that cannot be directly accessed to the head portion 362 of the sealing member 260 is poured.

  Further, when the curable material X is poured from the head 362 side of the sealing member 260, as described above, it flows into the through hole 424 of the lid side sealing portion 257 and further reaches the upper surface of the base side sealing portion 234. At this time, since the through-hole 428 of the base-side sealing portion 234 is formed with an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 361 of the sealing member 260, it flows into the through-hole 428, and as a result, the lid-side sealing portion 257 In addition to flowing into the shaft housing region 423, there is a possibility of flowing into the sealing member 260 from the notch 363 of the shaft 361. Therefore, the sealing member 260, the lid side sealing part 257, and the base side sealing part 234 can be firmly fixed integrally.

  That is, when the sealing members 260 and 257 are released from being sealed without cutting the connecting portions 431 and 432 (see FIG. 12), the sealing member 260 is covered with the curable material X and the sealing member 260 is covered. Since the protruding portion 370 is formed with a small thickness, the protruding portion 370 is broken from the connecting portion with the stepped portion 372. Therefore, even if it is attempted to release the sealing by the sealing member 260 without cutting the connecting portions 431 and 432, the sealing member 260 can leave a trace of the sealing release, so that the board box 201 can be opened to those involved in the hall. It is possible to easily recognize that there is sex.

  Further, since the sealing member 260 is surely broken, the sealing member 260 cannot be reused when one substrate box is manufactured from two or more substrate boxes. Therefore, even if a fraudster tries to accommodate and attach a main board loaded with a fraudulent program in a board box, it becomes difficult to obtain an intact sealing member 260. Even if a board box on which an illegal main board is mounted is attached, the board box can be easily found.

  Further, when the curable material X is poured, the curable material X also flows between the protruding portion 370 of the head 362 of the sealing member 260 and the support portion 425 of the lid side sealing portion 257. This is because the length of the swinging portion 364 of the sealing member 260 is slightly longer than the thickness l1 of the protruding portion 427 of the base-side sealing portion 234. This is because a gap is formed in which the protruding portion 370 of the member 260 is lifted with respect to the support portion 425 of the lid side sealing portion 257. Therefore, since the entire surface of the head 362 of the sealing member 260 is in contact with the curable material X, if the sealing member 260 is forcibly removed, the protruding portion 370 is reliably broken and broken. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of fraud itself, and it is possible to easily find a board box on which an illegal main board is mounted.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the cured material X is configured such that when it is scraped off after being cured, the shaved portion turns white. Therefore, even if the fraudulent person tries to remove the curable material X with the latest attention, it is difficult to remove all the curable material X without changing the color, and therefore, the cheating may have been performed. The substrate box 201 and the sealing member 260 can be easily found. Further, since the curable material X flows not only into the sealing member 260 but also into the lid-side sealing portion 257 and the base-side sealing portion 234, the reuse of the box base 211 and the box base 212 can be easily found.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the slot machine 10.

  The main controller 101 is equipped with a microcomputer centering on the MPU 102 which is an arithmetic processing means. In addition to the power supply device 91, the MPU 102 is connected to a clock circuit 103 that outputs a rectangular wave having a predetermined frequency, an input / output port 104, and the like via an internal bus. The main control device 101 functions as a main board built in the slot machine 10.

  On the input side of the main controller 101, a reel unit 31 (more specifically, a reel index sensor that individually detects that each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R has made one rotation) and a start detection sensor that detects an operation of the start lever 41 are provided. 41a, stop detection sensors 42a to 44a that individually detect operations of the stop switches 42 to 44, inserted medal detection sensors 45a that detect medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 45 (see FIG. 1), and paid out from the hopper device 51. The payout detection sensor 51a for detecting the medals, the credit insertion detection sensors 56a and 57a for individually detecting the operations of the credit insertion switches 56 and 57, the adjustment detection sensor 58a for detecting the operation of the adjustment switch 58, and the operation of the reset switch 72. Reset detection sensor 72a for detecting the key Various sensors such as a setting key detection sensor 73 a for detecting that the setting key is inserted into the Linda 73 (see FIG. 5) and turned on are connected, and signals from these various sensors are connected via the input / output port 104. Are output to the MPU 102.

  A power supply device 91 is connected to the input side of the main control device 101 via an input / output port 104. The power supply device 91 includes a power supply unit 91 a that supplies driving power to the electronic devices of the slot machine 10 including the main control device 101, a power failure monitoring circuit 91 b, and the like.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 91b monitors the power shut-off state and generates a power failure signal not only at the time of power failure but also at the time of power failure by the power switch 71 (see FIG. 2). For this reason, the power failure monitoring circuit 91b monitors the stabilized drive voltage of 12 VDC in this example output from the power supply unit 91a, and determines that the power supply has been shut off when this drive voltage drops below, for example, 10 volts. Power outage signal is output. The power failure signal is supplied to each of the MPU 102 and the input / output port 104, and the MPU 102 recognizes this power failure signal and executes a power failure process described later. The power failure signal is also supplied to the display control device 81.

  The power supply unit 91a is configured to output a stabilized voltage of 5 volts that is used as a drive voltage in a control system such as the main controller 101 even when the output voltage drops below 10 volts. As a time for outputting the stabilization voltage, a time sufficient for executing the power failure process by the main controller 101 is secured.

  On the output side of the main controller 101, a reel unit 31 (more specifically, a stepping motor for rotating the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R), a medal path switching solenoid 46a provided in the selector 46 (see FIG. 2), Information is sent to the hopper device 51, the credit display unit 60 (see FIG. 1), the remaining payout number display unit 61 (see FIG. 1), the payout number display unit 62 (see FIG. 1), the display control device 81, the hall management device not shown. Are connected via the input / output port 104.

  The display control device 81 is a control device for driving the upper lamp 63, the speaker 64, and the auxiliary display unit 65, and includes a substrate on which MPU, ROM, RAM, and the like for driving these are integrated. Then, after receiving a signal from the main controller 101, the display controller 81 independently controls the upper lamp 63, the speaker 64, and the auxiliary display unit 65. Therefore, the display control device 81 is a sub-base for executing auxiliary control in relation to the main control device 101 which is a main base for overall management of games. Various display units 60 to 62 may be configured to be driven and controlled by the display control device 81.

  The above-described MPU 102 includes a ROM 105 that stores various control programs executed by the MPU 102 and fixed value data, and a work area that temporarily stores various data when executing the control program stored in the ROM 105. A RAM 106 for securing and a free-run counter 107 for generating random numbers are incorporated. The MPU 102 also includes various processing circuits necessary for the slot machine 10, such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, a data transmission / reception circuit, and various counters such as a credit counter for counting the number of credits, as is well known. Built in.

  The free-run counter 107 is a counter configured by hardware that generates and updates random numbers from 0 to 65535 in a short cycle. After confirming the operation of the start lever 41 based on the output signal of the start detection sensor 41a, the MPU 102 latches the value of the free-run counter 107 by a hardware circuit and stores the latched value in the RAM 106. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to quickly acquire a random number at the timing when the start lever 41 is operated, and it is possible to avoid occurrence of problems such as synchronization. The hardware circuit of the slot machine 10 is configured to latch the value of the free run counter 107 each time the start lever 41 is operated. The value of the free-run counter latched and stored in the RAM 106 is used to draw a winning mode (combination) of a game started by operating the start lever 41.

  The ROM 105 and the RAM 106 constitute a main memory as a storage unit, and a program for executing various processes is stored in the ROM 105 as a part of the control program. In addition, the ROM 105 is provided with a lottery table storage area 105a for storing a lottery table used for lottery in a winning mode.

  The RAM 106 is configured to retain (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 91 even after the power to the slot machine 10 is cut off. In the RAM 106, a memory for temporarily storing various data, a winning flag storage area 106a for storing a lottery result of a combination, and a sliding table used when stop control of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R is performed. In addition to the sliding table storage area 106b for storing the game information, the status information storage area 106c for storing the gaming status such as the bonus status, a backup area is provided.

  The backup area is an area for storing the value of the stack pointer when the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like (including power shutdown by operating the power switch 71; the same applies hereinafter). Yes, when the power failure is resolved (including power-on by operating the power switch 71; the same applies hereinafter), the state of the slot machine 10 can be restored to the state before power-off based on the backup area information. . Writing to the backup area is executed when the power is cut off by the power failure process, and restoration of each value written to the backup area is executed in the main process when the power is turned on.

  Further, the power failure signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 91b is input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPU 102 when the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. When the power is shut off, an NMI interrupt process as a power failure flag generation process is immediately executed.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 102 of the main control apparatus 101 will be described. The processing of the MPU 102 is roughly divided into a main processing that is started when the power is turned on, a timer interrupt processing that is started periodically (in this embodiment, at a cycle of 1.49 msec), and a power failure signal to the NMI terminal. There is an NMI interrupt process activated in response to an input. In the timer interrupt process, a process for monitoring various sensor inputs and a process for executing output to a stepping motor, lamp, speaker, etc. are executed. In the NMI interrupt process, when a power failure signal is input, the game contents Is stored in a backup area (not shown) of the RAM 106.

  Next, normal processing executed by the MPU 102 of the main controller 101 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is a flowchart showing normal processing executed by the MPU 102 of the main control apparatus 101.

  The normal process is a process for performing main control related to the game. When the normal process is executed by the MPU 102, first, an interrupt permission process for permitting the next timer interrupt is performed (S201), and then the game can be performed. A pre-start process is performed for this (S202). In this pre-start process, the process waits until the display control device 81 and the like finish initialization. When the initialization of the display control device 81 and the like is completed, the game management process shown in the subsequent S203 to S213 is performed.

  As the game management process, first, in the process of S203, data such as various game information stored in the RAM 106 (for example, random numbers used in the previous game, each winning flag indicating winning of each winning except for the BB winning), and the like. Clear and start waiting processing is performed in the subsequent processing of S204.

  In the start waiting process of S204, it is determined whether or not a replay winning has been established in the previous game. To end the waiting process. In the automatic insertion process, virtual medals are inserted without reducing the number of virtual medals displayed on the credit display unit 60. That is, when a replay winning is established in the previous game, the player can play this game without reducing the number of medals owned and without inserting medals.

  On the other hand, if none of the replay wins have been established, a sensor abnormality confirmation process is performed to check whether an abnormality has occurred in the sensor reading result read in the timer interrupt process. If there is an error, the slot machine 10 is put into an error state and an abnormality occurrence process for notifying the occurrence of the error is performed. Such an error state is maintained until the reset switch 72 is operated.

  If the sensor reading result is normal, it is determined whether or not the settlement switch 58 has been operated. If the settlement switch 58 has been operated, a medal return process for paying out the same number of medals as the credited virtual medal I do. After completion of the medal return process or when the settlement switch 58 is not operated, whether or not the medal insertion or credit insertion switches 56 and 57 are operated between the previous start waiting process and the current start waiting process If either one is performed, a medal insertion process is performed, and the start waiting process is terminated. If neither the medal insertion nor the operation of the credit insertion switches 56 and 57 is performed between the previous start waiting process and the current start waiting process, the start waiting process is ended as it is.

  After completion of the start waiting process in S204, it is then determined whether or not the bet number of medals has reached a specified number (S205). If the bet number has not reached the specified number (S205: No), S204 Returning to the start waiting process, the processes after the sensor abnormality confirmation process are performed. In the present embodiment, the specified number of bets is set according to the gaming state of the slot machine 10. That is, when the gaming state of the slot machine 10 is in the general gaming state, the prescribed number is set to 1 to 3, and when it is in the bonus state, the prescribed number is set to 3. Thereby, in the general gaming state, the game can be started not only with three bets but also with one or two.

  If the number of bets has reached the specified number as a result of the processing of S205 (S205: Yes), it is then determined whether or not the start lever 41 has been operated (S206). If the start lever 41 is not operated (S206: No), the process returns to the start waiting process in step S204, and the processes after the sensor abnormality confirmation process are performed.

  On the other hand, when the start lever 41 is operated (S206: Yes), the slot machine 10 is configured such that a game can be started when the start lever 41 is operated in a situation where a prescribed number of medals are bet. Therefore, it means that a start command has been issued to start the game. Therefore, in such a case, the medal path switching solenoid 46a is switched to the non-excited state to prohibit bet acceptance (S207). In the subsequent process 208, an effective line setting process for setting an effective line is performed (S208). In this effective line setting process, all combination lines of the upper line L1, the middle line L2, the lower line L3, the lower right line L4, and the upper right line L5 are set as effective lines. Then, a start command is set (S209). Here, the start command is a command transmitted to the display control device 81 in order to grasp that a start command has been generated.

  Thereafter, a lottery process based on the value of the winning flag storage area 106a (S210), a reel control process based on the value of the sliding table storage area 106b (S211), and a medal when the game is won and the credit is full The medal payout process (S212) and the bonus state process (S213) for executing the bonus game in the case of the bonus state are sequentially executed, and the process returns to S203.

  Next, a modified example of the sealing member 260 will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 and 17. FIG. 16 is a top view showing the sealing members 260a to 260d of the modified example, and FIG. 17 is an enlarged cross-sectional view showing a part of the sealing member 260e of the modified example and the sealing portions 234 and 257. is there.

  As shown in FIG. 16A, the sealing member 260a has a central portion 368a formed in a substantially circular shape, and protruding portions 370a that protrude radially outward from the circular central portion 368a. Yes. Although not shown, the protruding portion 370a is formed thinner than the thickness of the central portion 368a, and is configured so that the protruding portion 370a is easily broken and broken when the sealing member 260a is forcibly removed. .

  As shown in FIG. 16 (b), the sealing member 260b has a central portion 368b formed in a substantially semicircular shape (specifically, the shape of the entrance of the tunnel), and the flat portion 371b of the central portion 368b A pair of projecting portions 370b project from both sides, and projecting portions 370b project from the center of the semicircle of the central portion 368b. Although not shown, the protruding portion 370b is formed to be thinner than the thickness of the central portion 368b, and is configured so that the protruding portion 370b is easily broken and broken when the sealing member 260b is forcibly removed. .

  As shown in FIG. 16C, the sealing member 260c has a central portion 368c formed in a substantially semicircular shape, and a protruding portion 370c protruding from the central portion 368c is formed in a thin rod shape. Therefore, when the sealing member 260c is forcibly removed, the protruding portion 370c is easily broken and broken.

  As shown in FIG. 16D, in the sealing member 260d, the central portion 368d and the protruding portion 370d are connected by a thin rod-like connecting portion 370d1. Therefore, when the sealing member 260d is forcibly removed, the protruding portion 370d is easily broken and broken.

  Although the sealing member 260a has a central portion 368a formed in a substantially circular shape and the sealing members 260b to 260d formed in a substantially semicircular shape, the shape of the central portion may be rectangular or triangular, and the protruding portion 370a. As long as is configured to be fragile, the central portion 368a may have any shape.

  The sealing member 260b is composed of two protrusions 368b, and the sealing members 260a, 260c, and 260d are composed of six protrusions 370a, 379c, and 379d, but the number of protrusions is one. However, it may be configured by any number of six or more, and the shape of the protrusion may be any shape.

  As shown in FIG. 17, the sealing member 260 e has a groove 373 formed on the lower surface of the protruding portion 370. Since the groove 373 is formed to extend in a direction intersecting with the protruding direction of the protruding portion 370, if the sealing member 260e is forcibly removed, the groove 373 is easily broken from the connecting portion with the stepped portion 372. The groove 373 can be easily broken, and the reuse of the sealing member 260e can be made difficult. Moreover, since the contact area with the curable material X is increased by providing the groove 373, the support portion 425 of the lid side sealing portion 257 and the sealing member 260e can be more firmly fixed. Further, in order to remove the hardened material X that has entered the groove 373, the box lid 212 must be destroyed, so that it is difficult to remove the hardened material X.

  The groove 373 may be formed to extend in a direction parallel to the protruding direction of the protruding portion 370. Even in this configuration, since the contact area with the curable material X increases, the support portion 425 of the lid side sealing portion 257 and the sealing member 260e can be firmly fixed.

  Although the present invention has been described based on the above embodiment, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment, and various modifications can be easily made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. It can be guessed.

  For example, in the above embodiment, the substrate box 201 and the mounting base 202 are coupled by the coupling member 259. However, the box base 211 and the box lid 212 may be coupled and sealed. In the case of this configuration, the base-side sealing portion of the box base 211 has a hermetic shape and is not provided with a notch corresponding to the notch 405 of the attachment-side coupling portion 306, thereby preventing the coupling member 259 from being removed. Alternatively, the curable material X may be poured in a state where the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are coupled by the coupling member 259. With this configuration, even if the coupling member 259 is forcibly removed, the portion of the curable material X that turns white remains on the coupling member 259, the box base 211, and the box lid 212, so that an illegal act may have been performed. You can easily find the board box. Further, in the configuration in which the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are coupled by the coupling member 259 and the curable material X is poured, the projection that projects radially outward from the front-side end portion of the first insertion portion 352 of the insertion member 332. A portion may be provided, and the coupling member 259 may be provided with a fragile portion. In this configuration, when the coupling member 259 is forcibly removed, the protruding portion is destroyed, so that it is possible to easily find out the possibility of an illegal act.

  Further, when a cover member having a large number of substrate boxes 201 is provided, the cover member and the substrate box 201, the cover member and the housing 11, or the cover member and the mounting base 202 are connected by a coupling member 259. May be. With this configuration, it is possible to easily find that the cover member has been opened illegally.

  Further, the coupling member 259 may be used for coupling the mounting base 202 and the housing 11. With this configuration, it can be easily found that the mounting base 202 has been removed, so that it is possible to easily find that there is a possibility that an illegal act has been performed on the board box 201.

  In the above embodiment, the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are sealed by the sealing member 260. However, the board box 201 and the mounting base 202 may be sealed. In this configuration, when the board box 201 is removed from the mounting base 202, the sealing member 260 is broken, so that it can be easily found that the board box 201 has been removed. Further, since the sealing member 260 cannot be reused, the board box 201 cannot be reattached to the mounting base 202, and it can be easily found that the board box 201 has been removed.

  Further, when the substrate box 201 and the mounting base 202 are connected by the sealing member 260, a configuration in which the curable material X is not poured may be employed. In the case of this configuration, by cutting the connecting parts 431 and 432 with a tool such as a nipper, the sealing part on the lid side can be rotated and removed from the sealing part on the attachment side, and the sealing member 260 is not destroyed. It becomes removable and becomes reusable like the coupling member 259 of the above embodiment. When the substrate box 201 is returned to the manufacturer, the sealing member 260 is distributed in the market by pouring the curable material X into the return sealing portions provided on the box base 211 and the box lid 212. Can be suppressed.

  Further, when a cover member that covers the substrate box 201 is provided, the cover member and the substrate box 201, the cover member and the housing 11, or the cover member and the mounting base 202 are configured to be sealed by the sealing member 260. Also good. With this configuration, it is possible to easily find that the cover member has been opened illegally.

  Further, the sealing member 260 may be used for sealing the mounting base 202 and the housing 11. With this configuration, it can be easily found that the mounting base 202 has been removed, so that it is possible to easily find that there is a possibility that an illegal act has been performed on the board box 201.

  In the above-described embodiment, the reinforcing member 283 is attached to the swing base 282. However, the reinforcing member may be attached to the back side of the box base 211 (that is, the side facing the mounting base 202). The box base 211 and the box lid 212 may be attached to the inner side surfaces (that is, the region side in which the main substrate 213 is accommodated). In addition, when attaching the reinforcing member 283 to the board | substrate box 201, it arrange | positions so that at least 1 of each sealing part 234,257 and the lid | cover side coupling | bond part 255 may be enclosed. If the reinforcing member 283 is attached to the board box 201, the board box 201 can be prevented from being twisted or bent, so that the board box 201 can be opened without breaking the sealing parts 234 and 257, or the lid side coupling part 255. The board box 201 is removed from the mounting base 202 without being broken, or a tool or the like is inserted from the mating surface of the box base 211 and the box lid 212 to change the wiring pattern of the main board 213 or other control. Unauthorized acts such as the installation of circuits can be suppressed. Of course, the reinforcing member 283 may be provided on both the mounting base 202 and the board box 201.

  Further, the reinforcing member 283, the through hole 228 and the projecting piece 252, the through hole 229 and the projecting piece 307, the locking portions 230 and 253, and the through holes 311 and 325 projecting piece 258 are respectively the substrate box 201 and the swing base. This is a mechanism capable of suppressing twisting and bending of 282. In the above embodiment, all the mechanisms are provided. However, any combination of at least two mechanisms may be used.

  In the above embodiment, a so-called A type slot machine has been described. However, a B type, a C type, a combined type of A type and C type, a combined type of B type and C type, and a type equipped with a CT game, etc. The present invention may be applied to any slot machine, and in any case, it is clear that the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained. In addition, examples of bonus winning in each type include BB winning, RB winning, SB winning, CT winning and the like.

  In the above-described embodiment, an example in which the slot machine 10 is embodied has been described. However, the present invention may be applied to a gaming machine in which a slot machine and a pachinko machine are combined. That is, in the slot machine, instead of the medal insertion and medal payout functions, a gaming machine having a ball insertion and ball payout function such as a pachinko machine may be used. If such a gaming machine is used in place of a slot machine, only a ball can be handled as a gaming value in the gaming hall. Therefore, the gaming value seen in the current gaming hall in which pachinko machines and slot machines are mixed is used. Problems such as the burden on equipment due to the separate handling of medals and balls and restrictions on the location of the gaming machine can be solved.

  It is also possible to apply the present invention to a pachinko machine. In the case of a pachinko machine, the gaming machine main body is mounted on the outer frame, and a door member is provided on the front side of the gaming machine main body. The gaming machine main body is provided with a gaming board in which a gaming area as a gaming ball flying area is formed and an operating port and a liquid crystal display device are installed, and the gaming area and liquid crystal are provided by a visual window provided on the door member. The display device is visible. Then, as the game ball launched by the game ball launching device wins the operating opening, an internal lottery is performed and a variable display of the pattern is performed on the liquid crystal display device. Even when the configuration of the main control device and the display control device of the above-described embodiment is applied to such a pachinko machine, it is apparent that the same effects as those of the above-described embodiment can be obtained.

  Hereinafter, in addition to the gaming machine of the present invention, concepts of various inventions included in the various embodiments described above are shown.

  A first member provided with a predetermined number of first insertion holes; a second member provided with a second insertion hole communicating with the first insertion hole of the first member; a second insertion hole of the second member; A first connecting member that is inserted into the first insertion hole of the first member and connects the first member and the second member, and is configured to be equal to or less than the predetermined number; The member is provided with a fragile portion to which a curable material is adhered at least in a state where the first connecting member is inserted into the first and second insertion holes and the first and second members are coupled. A gaming machine A1 characterized by that.

  According to the gaming machine A1, the first and second members are coupled in a state where the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole of the first member and the second insertion hole of the second member. In addition, since the first connecting member is provided with a fragile portion to which the curable material is attached, the first connecting member can be taken out from the state where the first and second members are joined, or the first connecting member is attached to the first connecting member. If an attempt is made to remove the cured material, the fragile portion is easily destroyed, and it is difficult to remove the first connecting member intact. And since the 1st and 2nd insertion hole and the 1st connecting member are constituted by the same number or less and it is difficult to take out the 1st connecting member intact, when combining other 1st and 2nd members, It can suppress that a 1st connection member is reused. That is, for example, when the board box is constituted by the first and second members, the first connecting member cannot be reused, so that a new board box is manufactured from two or more board boxes removed from a plurality of gaming machines. Can be difficult. Moreover, since the weak part of a 1st connection member is easy to be destroyed also when trying to open a board | substrate box, it can suppress that the board | substrate box is unsealed itself. In addition, if the broken first connecting member is used for bonding the board box, the trace of the opening of the board box will surely remain, so let the hall officials discover that the board box has been opened. Can be made easier.

  In addition, for example, when the first member is a board box and the second member is a mounting base to which the board box is attached, a cover member that covers the board box, or a gaming machine main body to which the board box is attached, the mounting base or cover member, If the board box is illegally removed from the gaming machine body, the first connecting member is easily destroyed, so that unauthorized removal of the board box can be suppressed, and if the destroyed first connecting member is used. It is possible to make it easier for hall personnel to discover that the board box has been removed.

  In addition, since the cured material attached to the fragile portion of the first connecting member is generally easily whitened when scraped after being cured, when the cured material is to be removed, the first and second insertion holes, The first connecting member tends to have a white-colored portion, and when the cured material is attached again to the discolored portion, the colored portion remains at the interface between the original material and the added material. There is a possibility that the fragile portion is damaged when the curable material is removed. Therefore, not only the first connecting member is destroyed, but also the reuse of the first connecting member, the first and second members, etc. can be easily found, so that the plurality of first and second members, first connecting members It can be made difficult to produce a new combination of the first and second members and the first connecting member from the combination.

  In the present invention, the “fragile portion where the curable material is attached to at least a part” is a portion where the curable material is attached to at least a part, and is easily damaged when an attempt is made to remove the cured material from the first connecting member. The part formed so weakly. For this reason, it is a part that is planned to be damaged by an external force such as fraud in the design stage, such as being formed thinner or narrower than a part other than the weak part, and at least a part or the whole of the part is a curable material The part in the case of adhering is included in the weakened part in the present invention. In addition, even if the curable material is not attached to the part that is planned to be damaged due to being formed thin or narrow, the curable material is removed by connecting both sides of the part with the curable material. The weakened portion in the present invention also includes a portion to which the curable material is attached in the case where a portion that is easily damaged when it is removed from the first connecting member is provided in advance. Furthermore, in the said embodiment, the weak part was provided in the head of the 1st connection member, and the curable material adhered, but it is not necessarily required that the weak part to which the curable material adhered was provided in the head of the 1st connection member. Instead, it may be provided in other parts such as the central part of the first connecting member.

  The “first member” and “second member” in the present invention may be applied to any component that needs to be combined with a plurality of components in a gaming machine, and may be a plurality of members that constitute a board box. One of the first member and the second member may be a board box that houses the control board, and the other may be a counterpart part that attaches and fixes the board box to the gaming machine, or other parts. Also good.

  “Combine the first member and the second member” means that the first member and the second member are coupled to such an extent that the coupled state cannot be released without leaving a trace only by a tool such as a manual operation or a driver. It means to do. Each of the first member and the second member may be a single part integrally formed of a single material, or may be formed by combining a plurality of members.

  The 1st insertion hole and the 2nd insertion hole are the concepts including what penetrates and what does not penetrate, Comprising: One of the 1st insertion hole and the 2nd insertion hole is constituted by a penetration hole, and the other is a non-through hole It may be. Therefore, the “second insertion hole communicating with the first insertion hole” may be a hole penetrating from the first insertion hole side to the opposite side while forming a space continuous with the first insertion hole. A space continuous with the insertion hole may be a non-through hole in which a hole to be formed is blocked in the middle.

  “The number of the first connecting members is equal to or less than the predetermined number” means that the number of the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes is the same as the number of the first connecting members to which the curable material is adhered. Of course, the case where the number of the first connecting members is smaller than the number of the insertion holes is included. That is, of course, when all the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes provided in the gaming machine are inserted with the first connecting member having the curable material attached to the fragile portion, a plurality of the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes are provided. When the first connecting member is inserted into only a part of the insertion holes and the first connecting member is not inserted into the remaining first insertion holes and second insertion holes, for example, some of the first insertion holes and the second insertion holes When the first member and the second member are coupled by inserting a connecting member having no weak portion into the insertion hole, or when the game machine is delivered as a new one, the first insertion hole and the second part of the first insertion hole The first insertion hole for recombination used when the first connecting member is inserted only into the insertion hole, and once the first member and the second member are joined after being once opened in the inspection of the gaming machine or the like And the case where the second insertion hole is provided.

  In the gaming machine A1, the first member is a box lid and the second member is a box base, and the box lid and the box base constitute a board box that encloses a control board for controlling the game. A gaming machine A2 characterized by

  According to the gaming machine A2, a board box that encloses a control board that controls the game is configured by the box lid that is the first member and the box base that is the second member, and the first box used for the board box. Since one connecting member cannot be reused, it is difficult to manufacture a new board box from two or more board boxes, and it is possible to prevent an illegal act from being performed on the control board. Moreover, since the 1st connection member is destroyed when trying to open a board | substrate box, generation | occurrence | production of the fraudulent act with respect to a control board itself can be suppressed. In addition, when the broken first connecting member is used for the bonding of the board box, the trace of the opening of the board box is surely left. It can be discovered.

  In the gaming machine A2, when one of the box base or the box cover covers the component mounting surface of the control board and the other covers the component non-mounting surface side of the control board, the control is performed on one side of the first connecting member. It is preferable that a weak part is formed in the member side which covers the component mounting surface of a board | substrate. It is possible to easily confirm the state around the fragile portion during the inspection.

  In the gaming machine A1, the first member is a board box that encloses a control board that controls the game, and the second member is a mounting base to which the board box is attached. Machine A3. According to the gaming machine A3, the first member is a board box that encloses a control board that controls the game, and the second member is a mounting base to which the board box is attached. Since the first connecting member is destroyed when it is removed, unauthorized removal of the board box can be suppressed, and if the broken first connecting member is used, it is easy for hall personnel to remove the board box. Can be discovered.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A3, the fragile portion is provided on a radially outer side of a central portion passing through an axial center of a head portion of the first connecting member, and is formed to be thinner than a thickness of the central portion in an axial direction. A gaming machine A4, which is characterized by being made. According to the gaming machine A4, the weak portion of the head portion of the first connecting member is formed thinner than the thickness of the central portion passing through the axial center of the head portion, so when the first connecting member is to be removed It becomes easy to destroy a weak part, and it can suppress that a 1st connection member is reused.

  Instead of the gaming machine A4, the fragile portion is a portion protruding outward that intersects the insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole, and is along the insertion direction. It is a part formed weakly by making thickness thin, and it is good also as the hardening material adhering to the protrusion part. In this case, when the curable material is to be removed from the first connecting member, a force is easily applied to the base portion of the projecting portion, so that the fragile portion can be easily damaged. Further, when the first connecting member is illegally extracted, if the force is applied to the fragile portion that intersects the insertion direction of the first connecting member, the first connecting member is easily damaged. The act of pulling out the member can also be suppressed.

  In addition, “the part formed weakly by reducing the thickness along the insertion direction” is, for example, sufficiently thin compared to 1.5 mm to 3 mm which is a general thickness of resin It means thickness, preferably 1.0 mm or less, and more preferably 0.7 mm or less. Moreover, it is preferable that the amount of protrusion of the fragile portion protrudes to such an extent that it is easily damaged by an external force with respect to the thickness of the thinly formed portion, and the amount of protrusion is equal to or greater than the thickness of the thinly formed portion. Is required, and it is preferable to set the protruding amount to be twice or more the thickness. Moreover, the part formed weakly by reducing the thickness is formed only in a part near the base (or base end) part of the protruding part, and the part formed thicker on the tip side than that part is provided In this case, fraud can be easily detected as in the case where the whole is thin.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A4, the fragile portion is composed of a plurality of projecting pieces extending radially outward of a central portion passing through the axis of the head of the first connecting member. Characteristic gaming machine A5. According to the gaming machine A5, the weak portion of the head portion of the first connecting member is composed of a plurality of protruding pieces extending radially outward of the central portion passing through the axis of the head portion of the first connecting member. Therefore, when it is going to remove the 1st connection member, it becomes easy to bend a connection part with a center part, and it can suppress that a 1st connection member is reused.

  Instead of the gaming machine A5, the fragile portion has a plurality of protruding pieces that protrude outwardly intersecting the insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole. It is good also as the amount of hardening resin which the protrusion piece continues with the hardening material adheres. In this case, when the curable material is to be removed from the first connecting member, a force is easily applied to the plurality of protrusions at the same time, so that the fragile portion can be easily damaged. In addition, when the first connecting member is illegally extracted, if a force is applied to a location that intersects the insertion direction of the first connecting member, the fragile portion is easily damaged. Therefore, the first connecting member is illegally extracted. Actions can also be suppressed.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A5, one of the first and second members includes a housing portion that houses a head portion of the first connecting member, and the weak portion includes the first connecting member. A gaming machine A6, wherein a groove or a recess is formed in a lower surface of the head and is opposed to the bottom surface of the housing portion, and at least a hardening material is attached to the groove or the recess. According to the gaming machine A6, the fragile portion of the head portion of the first connecting member is formed with a groove or the like on the surface of the head portion that faces the bottom surface of the housing portion, so that the first connecting member is removed. Then, it becomes easy to bend on the basis of a groove part etc., and it can control that the 1st connecting member is reused. Moreover, since the groove | channel etc. of a weak part are formed in the surface facing the bottom face of the accommodating part in which a head is accommodated, when hardening material is poured, hardening material will also flow in a groove | channel etc. Therefore, since the contact area of the curable material increases between the head of the first connecting member and the housing portion, the first connecting member and the housing portion can be firmly coupled. Further, when the curable material enters the concave portion of the fragile portion, that is, when the curable material adheres to the inside of the surrounding portion surrounding the curable material, the curable material can be made more difficult to remove.

  In the gaming machine A6, a planar accommodation plane part is formed on a part of the side wall of the accommodation part, and a flat surface corresponding to the accommodation plane part is formed on the head of the first connecting member. A gaming machine A7 in which a head plane portion is formed. According to the gaming machine A7, the accommodation portion is formed with a planar accommodation plane portion on a part of its side wall, and the head portion of the first connecting member has a planar head plane corresponding to the accommodation plane portion. Since the portion is formed, the first connecting member can be easily positioned with respect to the accommodating portion by inserting the first connecting member together with the two flat portions. In addition, since the shape of the first connecting member is complicated by having the head plane portion, the cost of manufacturing the mold of the first connecting member becomes expensive, and unauthorized manufacturing of the first connecting member can be suppressed.

  In the gaming machine A6, a head flat portion is formed at the head of the first connecting member, and the weakened portion is inserted into the first insertion hole and the second insertion hole from the head flat portion with respect to the insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted. And projecting outwardly intersecting with each other, and may be formed at a position that does not contact other members when inserted. That is, it is preferable that the fragile portion is formed at a position that does not contact other members when the first connecting member is inserted, and other than the fragile portion such as the head flat portion is pressed with a hand or a tool during the insertion operation. As a result, the fragile portion does not come into contact with other parts, and is not easily damaged. After insertion, a force is easily applied to the fragile portion formed outward, so that it is possible to easily detect fraud.

  In any one of the gaming machines A1 to A7, the inner diameter of the first and second insertion holes is larger in the insertion hole located on the front side in the insertion direction in which the first connecting member is inserted. Characteristic gaming machine A8. According to the gaming machine A8, the inner diameters of the first and second insertion holes are formed larger in the insertion hole located on the near side in the insertion direction in which the first connection member is inserted. When the curable material is poured from the head side, the curable material easily passes through the inside of the insertion hole located on the near side and reaches the insertion hole located on the far side. Therefore, since the curable material is poured into the first connecting member and the first and second insertion holes, the coupling between the first and second members becomes strong, and the coupling between the first and second members is released. Traces (parts of the cured material that turn white) can easily remain in the first and second insertion holes.

  Instead of the gaming machine A8, the shape of the first and second insertion holes is positioned on the distal end side in the insertion direction when the first connection member is inserted and before the cured material is attached, as viewed in the insertion direction of the first connection member. It is good also as forming the member to do in the magnitude | size which can be visually recognized (or exposed). When it is necessary to irradiate the curable material with heat, ultraviolet rays, or the like, the curable material attached to the member located on the distal end side in the insertion direction can be easily cured.

A gaming machine A9 that is configured as follows.

  According to the gaming machine A9, since the second connecting member is inserted into the third insertion hole of the first member and the fourth insertion hole of the second member and the first and second members are coupled, the first and second Even if the coupling of the members is released and the first coupling member becomes unusable, the first and second members can be coupled by the second coupling member. Therefore, when returning the first and second members, etc. to the manufacturer for inspection or repair, the second connecting member can be used, and the members are broken or lost during the return. Can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since at least one of a shape or a color differs between the 1st and 2nd connection members, it can prevent that a 2nd connection member is substituted for the 1st connection member in which the weak part was provided. . Therefore, even if it is the structure provided with the 2nd connection member which couple | bonds a 1st and 2nd connection member, a new combination of a 1st and 2nd member is manufactured from the combination of a some 1st and 2nd member. Can be suppressed.

A gaming machine B0, comprising: a connecting means capable of connecting the first and second members by two connecting members.

  According to the gaming machine B0, the internal space for accommodating the control board is formed by connecting the first member and the second member by the first connecting member, and a combination of members different from the first and second members. It is connected by the second connecting member. And the 2nd connection member is comprised so that a 1st member and a 2nd member can be connected via a connection means. Therefore, even if the connection of the first and second members by the first connecting member is released, the board box can be reconnected using the second connecting member that has connected the combination of the other members. It is not necessary to prepare these members in advance and store them in the gaming machine, and there is an effect that it is possible to suppress a reduction in visibility inside the board box due to the arrangement of spare parts and to reduce the cost of parts. In addition, since the second connecting member is different in shape or color from the first connecting member, the second connecting member can be prevented from being diverted as the first connecting member, and the second connecting member and the connecting means can be used. Since it is configured with the same number or less and there is no extra second connecting member, it is possible to suppress the second connecting member from circulating in the market. Therefore, when connecting the first and second members of the board box in which the unauthorized control board is accommodated, if the second connecting member is used, it can be easily found that the board box is unauthorized. Since it is possible to prevent the two connecting members from being distributed and reused in the market, it is difficult to manufacture the first and second members in which the unauthorized control board is accommodated.

  The second connecting member may connect the cover member that covers the first and second members to the gaming machine main body, or may be attached to attach the first and second members connected by the first connecting member. The base may be connected to the gaming machine body. Regardless of the configuration, the first and second members can be reconnected by the second connecting member, and the second connecting member is prevented from being diverted to the first and second members in which the unauthorized control board is accommodated. it can. The “combination of members different from the first and second members” means a combination of members in which at least one of the first and second members is a member different from the first and second members. Or the combination of the member using any one of the 2nd member is included. Further, the phrase “connecting” between the first connecting member and the second connecting member means that the connecting state is such that the connected state cannot be released without leaving a trace only by a manual operation or a tool such as a driver.
