The pachinko machine 10 includes a plurality of speaker units 50A, 50B, and 100 having speakers 52A, 52B, and 102 for outputting various sounds. The plurality of speaker units 50A, 50B, and 100 are provided on the front side of the machine. Since all the front frames 13 are arranged, the speakers 52A, 52B, 102 can be brought closer to the player side, and the degree of recognition of the sound output from the speakers 52A, 52B, 102 can be improved. In addition, since the plurality of speaker units 50A, 50B, and 100 all have the enclosures 54A, 54B, and 104, the enclosures 54A, 54B, and 104 contain the sound coming out from the rear side of the speakers 52A, 52B, and 102. The sound coming out from the front side of the speakers 52A, 52B, 102 can be prevented from interfering, and the sound quality can be improved. For example, when the speaker unit is installed in the middle frame 12, not only the installation space for installing the speaker unit in the middle frame 12 is required, but also output from the speaker unit to the front frame 13 covering the front side of the middle frame 12. A space for sound emission to pass the sound to the front side must be secured according to the installation position of the speaker unit. According to the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, since the speaker units 50A, 50B, 100 are all disposed on the front frame 13, the speaker units 50A, 50A, 50 are arranged on the body member side that supports the front frame 12, such as the middle frame 12. The space for installing 50B, 100 is not required, and the vacant space such as the inner frame 12 can be effectively used for arranging other parts. Further, since the speaker units 50A, 50B, 100 are disposed on the front frame 13, they are different from the configuration in which sound is output through the sound emission space defined in the front frame 13 by being installed on the middle frame 12. In addition, it is possible to avoid problems such as sound accumulation and attenuation in the sound emission space. As described above, according to the pachinko machine 10, the speaker units 50A, 50B, 100 arranged in the front frame 13 can provide an effective performance with a suitable sound quality.

(Enclosure type and placement in the front frame)
In the pachinko machine 10, the upper speaker units 50A and 50B having hermetically sealed upper enclosures 54A and 54B and the lower speaker unit 100 having a bass-reflex lower enclosure 104 are arranged in the vertical direction of the front frame 13. Therefore, the sound quality as a whole can be improved by combining the characteristics of the speaker units 50A, 50B, and 100. In the pachinko machine 10 of the embodiment, the upper speaker units 50A and 50B having the sealed upper enclosures 54A and 54B are arranged on the upper portion of the front frame 13, so that the comparison is made by the sealed upper enclosures 54A and 54B. It is possible to bring the upper speaker units 50A and 50B capable of outputting sounds with high target directivity close to the player's head (ear). Further, since the upper portion of the front frame 13 has fewer members than the lower portion, the sound output from the upper speaker units 50A and 50B can be directly transmitted to the player without interfering with surrounding members and the like. The features of the upper speaker units 50A and 50B by the sealed upper enclosures 54A and 54B that can output a relatively straightforward sound with little attenuation of the sound range can be utilized. Since the lower speaker unit 100 disposed at the lower part of the front frame 13 has a bass-reflex type lower enclosure 104, taking advantage of the bass-reflex type feature that has a good bass enhancement effect and excellent bass reproduction, It plays mainly the reproduction of the lower sound range than the upper speaker units 50A and 50B. That is, the upper ball tray 14, the lower ball tray 15, the operating means 28, and the like are arranged around the lower speaker unit at the lower portion of the front frame 13 that is farther from the player's head than the upper portion of the front frame 13. Even if 100 is arranged, the features of the lower speaker unit can be utilized. As described above, in the pachinko machine 10, the upper speaker units 50A and 50B and the lower speaker unit 100 having the different types of enclosures 54A, 54B, and 104 are appropriately arranged in the front frame 13 according to the characteristics of the enclosures 54A, 54B, and 104. Are arranged in a vertical position. Therefore, the pachinko machine 10 synchronizes the sound output from the upper speaker units 50A, 50B having the different types of enclosures 54A, 54B, 104 and the sound output from the lower speaker unit 100, and this combined preferable sound quality sound. Can be heard by the player, and an effective production using sound can be achieved.

(About the shape of the upper enclosure)
The upper speaker units 50A, 50B are formed such that the upper enclosures 54A, 54B are wider along the edge of the window 35 than in the front-rear direction, and the air chamber 57 extends along the front surface of the front frame base member 34. . In this manner, the upper enclosures 54A and 54B ensure the internal volume of the air chamber 57 by effectively using the space around the window 35 on the front side of the front frame base member 34 in the front frame 13. That is, the protrusion of the upper enclosures 54A and 54B from the back surface of the front frame 13 required for securing the internal volume of the air chamber 57 in the upper enclosures 54A and 54B can be suppressed, and the upper enclosures 54A and 54B are disposed on the middle frame 12 side. The occurrence of contact between the member and the upper enclosures 54A and 54B disposed on the front frame 13 can be suppressed as much as possible.

  The upper enclosures 54A and 54B expand the internal volume of the air chamber 57 by a bulging portion 63 formed to bulge to the front side of the front wall where the upper speakers 52A and 52B arranged to face the front side are installed. It is configured to Since the front frame 13 is a machine body that constitutes the front surface of the pachinko machine 10, a space can be secured on the front side, unlike a main body member disposed on the rear side of the front frame 13 such as the middle frame 12. That is, by arranging the upper speaker units 50A and 50B in the front frame 13, it becomes possible to use the space on the front side in the front frame 13, and the bulging portion 63 that swells to the front side by effectively using the space is provided on the upper side. By providing the enclosures 54A and 54B, the inner volumes of the upper enclosures 54A and 54B can be secured relatively large. Therefore, the protrusion of the upper enclosures 54A and 54B from the back surface of the front frame 13 required for securing the internal volume of the air chamber 57 in the upper enclosures 54A and 54B can be further suppressed, and the upper enclosures 54A and 54B are disposed on the middle frame 12 side. The occurrence of contact between the member and the upper enclosures 54A and 54B disposed on the front frame 13 can be suppressed as much as possible. Moreover, the area occupied by the upper enclosures 54A, 54B on the front side of the front frame base member 34 can be suppressed while securing the necessary volume of the air chamber 57, and the peripheral members disposed on the front surface of the front frame 13 can be reduced. The installation space can be pressed and the window 35 can be prevented from being reduced.

(About installation of enclosure)
The upper enclosures 54A and 54B are provided on the outer peripheral edge of the box-shaped main body via an upper unit mounting portion 62 formed to extend outward along the front surface of the front frame base member 34 in the front frame 13. The front frame base member 34 is attached to the front frame base member 34 by screwing. Similarly, the lower enclosure 104 is provided on the outer peripheral edge of the box-shaped main body via a lower unit attachment portion 116 formed to extend outward along the front surface of the front frame installation base 36 in the front frame 13. The front frame installation base 36 is attached to the front frame installation base 36 by screwing. As described above, the upper enclosures 54A and 54B and the lower enclosure 104 have the unit mounting portions 62 and 116 formed outside the box-shaped main body that defines the air chambers 57 and 107. The volume of the air chambers 57 and 107 can be secured while maintaining the airtightness, rather than the configuration in which the volume of the air chambers 57 and 107 is scraped by opening or setting up a boss inside the box-shaped main body.

(About the placement of the lower speaker unit)
The lower speaker unit 100 secures the volume of the air chamber 107 in the lower enclosure 104 and is disposed in the lower enclosure 104 in a posture in which the lower speaker 102 extends in the front-rear direction. A certain amount of space is required on the front side. Here, on the front surface of the front frame installation base 36, a dish-shaped upper sphere storage portion 42 that constitutes a storage portion of the pachinko sphere in the upper sphere receiving tray 14 projects forward from the front surface of the front frame installation base 36. In addition to being provided, a dish-like lower sphere storage portion 43 that constitutes a pachinko ball storage portion in the lower sphere tray 15 is provided so as to project forward from the front surface of the front frame installation base 36. Then, by installing the lower speaker unit 100 adjacent to the upper sphere storage unit 42 and the lower sphere storage unit 43, the front and rear space that is generated on the front side of the front frame installation base 36 by the sphere storage units 42 and 43 is effective. By utilizing this, it is possible to secure the space for arranging the lower speaker unit 100 and the internal volume of the lower enclosure 104. Further, the lower speaker unit 100 can be prevented from protruding on the back side of the front frame 13.

(Light emission structure of the lower speaker unit)
The pachinko machine 10 has a transparent decoration portion 142 of a button decoration cover 48 covering the operation means 28 provided at the lower part of the front frame 13, and the light from the lower light emitting means 140 disposed on the rear side of the button decoration cover 48. It is configured to illuminate by irradiation. Here, in the lower part of the front frame 13, the lower speaker unit 100 is disposed adjacent to the lower side of the lower light emitting means 140 on the rear side of the button decoration cover 48. By providing the reflecting portion 104a that can reflect light on the upper wall surface facing the lower light emitting means 140 of the enclosure 104, the light emission effect by the lower light emitting means 140 can be assisted by the reflection of light by the reflecting portion 104a. That is, the reflection of light by the reflecting portion 104 a of the lower enclosure 104 illuminates a wide range beyond the front side of the light emitting direction from the lower light emitter 146 of the lower light emitting means 140, or a transparent decoration in the light irradiated from the lower light emitter 146. The effect by the light emitted from the lower light emitting means 140 can be effectively achieved, such as preventing the downward diffusion away from the portion 142 and brightening the transparent decorative portion 142. As described above, the lower light-emitting means 140 is set on the upper wall surface of the lower enclosure 104 extending forward of the lower light-emitting means 140 along the light irradiation direction below the lower light-emitting means 140. By effectively using the lower enclosure 104 as a part for guiding the light emitted from the light source, the configuration of the lower light emitting means 140 can be simplified. As described above, by installing the lower speaker unit 100 below the front frame 13, a space in which the lower light emitting means 140 can be disposed in the lower part of the front frame 13 is pressed, but the lower enclosure 104 of the lower speaker unit 100 is pressed. The reflective portion 104a assists the light emission of the lower light emitting means 140, and the transmissive decorative portion 142 can be effectively rendered.

  In the button decoration cover 48, the transparent decorative portion 142 is not only a region of the lower light emitting substrate 145 on the light emitting direction front side of the lower light emitter 146 but also a lower enclosure extending from the region to the lower side of the lower light emitting substrate 145. The reflection part 104a provided on the upper wall surface of 104 is provided so as to extend toward the upper side, which is the side directed. That is, when light is emitted from the lower light emitter 146, the light emission effect by the reflected light that is partly reflected by the reflecting portion 104a and directed upward is more suitably visually recognized through the transparent decoration portion 142. be able to. In other words, the transparent decorative portion 142 reflects not only the front region of the lower light emitting means 140 which is the light irradiation direction of the lower light emitter 146 but also the reflection due to the presence of the reflecting portion 104a extending below the lower light emitting means 140. Illuminated by the light of the lower light emitter 146 over a wide range up to the upper region of the lower light emitting means 140 on the side to which the section 104a is directed. That is, the decoration diffusing portion 143 and the transparent decoration portion 142 can be efficiently illuminated by a small number of lower light emitters 146 without arranging many lower light emitters 146 in accordance with the spread of the transparent decoration portion 142. Moreover, the light emitting decoration part 142 is curved so as to incline to the rear side from the front side region in the light irradiation direction of the lower light emitter 146, but is suitably illuminated by the reflected light of the reflection part 104a directed upward. .

  Since the lower light emitting means 140 is installed in a narrow space in which the ball storage portions 42 and 43, the operation handle 16, the operation means 28, the lower speaker unit 100, and the like are arranged around, the lower light emitting substrate 145 is enlarged. It is difficult to mount many lower light emitters 146. However, in the pachinko machine 10, the reflecting portion 104a of the lower enclosure 104 disposed adjacent to the lower light emitting means 140 can suppress the downward diffusion of the light emitted from the lower light emitter 146 and reflect the light upward. Therefore, even with a small number of lower light emitters 146, the transparent decorative portion 142 extending from the front side of the decoration diffusing portion 143 and the lower light emitting means 140 to the upper button opening 48a can be illuminated. As described above, even with the lower light emitting means 140 disposed in the narrow space below the front frame 13, the decoration diffusion portion 143 and the transmission decoration portion 142 are effectively supported by the light emission by the reflection portion 104 a of the adjacent lower enclosure 104. Can be suitably illuminated.

(About the light guide structure of the lower light emitting means)
When the lower light emitting unit 145 emits light from the lower light emitter 146, the light is incident on the first light guide plate part 149 disposed so that the end surface overlaps the front side of the lower light emitter 146, and the lower light is emitted by the incident light The first light guide plate portion 149 extending above the upper wall surface of the enclosure 104 emits light. Further, light enters the second light guide plate portion 150 connected to the front end of the first light guide plate portion 149 from the first light guide plate portion 149, and the second guide extends to the front side of the front wall surface of the lower enclosure 104 by the incident light. The light plate unit 150 emits light. As described above, the light emission of the first light guide plate portion 149 and the second light guide plate portion 150 due to the irradiation of light from the lower light emitter 146 is also visible through the transparent decoration portion 142 and the decoration diffusion portion 143. Here, since the reflection part 104a is set on the upper wall surface of the lower enclosure 104 to which the first light guide plate part 149 is opposed, the light emitted from the lower light emitter 146 and / or the light leaked from the first light guide plate part 149. The light is reflected by the reflecting portion 104a and enters the first light guide plate portion 149, and the first light guide plate portion 149 can be brightened by the reflected light of the reflecting portion 104a. Similarly, since the second reflecting portion 104b is set on the front wall surface of the lower enclosure 104 to which the second light guide plate portion 150 is opposed, the light leaking from the second light guide plate portion 150 is reflected by the second reflecting portion 104b. The second light guide plate part 150 can be made incident again, and the second light guide plate part 150 far from the lower light emitter 146 can be brightened by the reflected light of the second reflection part 104b. Further, the light guide 148 is formed with a rear light scattering part 151, a front light scattering part 152, and a lower light scattering part 153 that can diffuse the light incident on the light guide plate parts 149, 150. 148 can emit light as a whole.

(About the sealing structure of the box-shaped main body and duct in the lower enclosure)
The lower enclosure 104, which is a bass-reflex type, includes a box-shaped main body configured by combining two structural bodies 108 and 110, and a duct 114 that communicates an air chamber 107 defined in the box-shaped main body inside and outside. It is formed as a separate body. A sealing collar 132 extending radially outward is formed on the circumferential surface of the cylindrical main body portion of the duct 114, and the cylindrical main body portion is aligned between the concave portions of the two components 108 and 110. Thus, when the duct 114 is disposed so as to be inserted into the outside through the attachment opening 112, the sealing flange 132 overlaps the opening edge of the attachment opening 112 from the outside (lower side). Here, the sealing flange 132 is in close contact with the lower surface of the opening edge of the mounting opening 112 in the two components 108 and 110, and between the cylindrical main body partial peripheral surface of the duct 114 and the components 108 and 110. It can be sealed. In this way, the lower enclosure 104 is formed on the peripheral surface of the duct 114 and has a sealing structure with a sealing collar that overlaps with the opening edge of the mounting opening 112, so that the components 108 and 110 and the peripheral surface of the duct 114 Since the gap is sealed, sound leakage from between the peripheral surface of the duct 114 and the structural bodies 108 and 110 can be prevented. As a result, the acoustic effect of the bass reflex type lower enclosure 104 can be appropriately exhibited, and the quality of sound output from the lower speaker unit 100 can be improved.

  The duct 114 has a positioning flange 134 that extends radially outward from the peripheral surface of the cylindrical main body portion on the upper side of the sealing flange 132, and is disposed between the concave portions of the two structural bodies 108 and 110. When the cylindrical body portion is aligned and the duct 114 is inserted so as to be inserted into the inside and outside through the attachment opening 112, the positioning flange 134 overlaps the opening edge of the attachment opening 112 from the inside (upper side). ing. The duct 114 is positioned with respect to both components 108 and 110 by sandwiching the opening edge of the mounting opening 112 in both components 108 and 110 between the sealing flange 132 and the positioning flange 134. That is, by sandwiching the structural bodies 108 and 110 by the sealing collar 132 and the positioning collar 134, the sealing collar 132 can be held at an appropriate position with respect to the structural bodies 108 and 110 and more closely applied. Therefore, the sealing between the structural bodies 108 and 110 and the peripheral surface of the duct 114 by the sealing flange 132 can be more reliably performed.

(About the sealing structure of the box-shaped body in the lower enclosure)
The lower enclosure 104, which is a bass-reflex type, has a box-shaped main body that defines the air chamber 107 by combining the two structural bodies 108 and 110 with their end faces abutting each other. The first component 108 is provided with a component recess 118 that is recessed from the front end surface on the front end surface, while the second component 110 has a component protrusion 120 that protrudes from the rear end surface on the rear end surface. When the first structural body 108 and the second structural body 110 are combined with each other being brought into contact with each other, the first structural body is fitted with the structural body concave portion 118 and the structural body convex portion 120. It is possible to seal between the end faces of 108 and the second structural body 110. As described above, the lower enclosure 104 has a space between the components 108 and 110 to be assembled to each other by a sealing structure formed by fitting the component recesses 118 and the component protrusions 120 formed on the end surfaces of the components 108 and 110. Since it is sealed, sound leakage from between the constituent members 108 and 110 can be prevented. Thereby, the acoustic effect by the lower enclosure 104 can be exhibited appropriately, and the quality of the sound output from the lower speaker unit 100 can be improved.

  The first structural body 108 is formed with the structural body concave portion 118 extending in the central portion in the thickness direction of the front end surface, and the second structural body 110 is extended in the central portion in the thickness direction of the rear end surface. The structure convex part 120 is formed. That is, when the first structural body 108 and the second structural body 110 are combined, the front end surface of the first structural body 108 and the first structural body 108 are arranged on both sides of the fitting portion between the structural body concave portion 118 and the structural body convex portion 120. The rear end surface of the two-component body 110 can be brought into contact. In other words, the lower enclosure 104 is more tightly sealed between the two components 108 and 110. In addition, component mounting portions 108a and 110a having holes for fixing both the components 108 and 110 with screws are provided on end surfaces that are abutted against each other, but inside the holes of the component mounting portions 108a and 110a. Since the constituent body concave portion 118 and the constituent body convex portion 120 are continuously formed, the sealing structure is maintained in the screw fixing portions of both the constituent bodies 108 and 110.

(Duct structure in the lower enclosure)
The duct 114 is configured to have a cylindrical shape by combining the two divided bodies 126 and 128 in the circumferential direction, and is defined by the divided bodies 126 and 128 sandwiched between the divided bodies 126 and 128. A screen 124 that prevents foreign matter from entering the air chamber 107 via the port 114a can be easily disposed in the port 114a. In addition, the duct 114 has the duct mounting portions 122 and 122 provided on the two divided bodies 126 and 128, respectively, overlapped with each other and screwed to the first structural body 108, so that the duct 114 can be removed from the first structural body 108. Both the divided bodies 126 and 128 can be easily separated, and maintenance such as replacement of the screen 124 and removal of foreign matter clogged in the port 114a can be easily performed.

(About the duct sealing structure in the lower enclosure)
The duct 114 is configured in a cylindrical shape in which two divided bodies 126 and 128 are combined in a state in which their end faces are in contact with each other, and a port 114a communicating with the inside and outside of the air chamber 107 in the lower enclosure 104 is defined inside. Yes. On one of the end surfaces of the two divided bodies 126 and 128 that contact each other, a divided body convex portion 136 that protrudes from the end surface is formed, and on the other of the end surfaces that contact each other in the two divided bodies 126 and 128, A divided body concave portion 138 is formed which is recessed from the end face and into which the divided body convex portion 136 is fitted. When the first divided body 126 and the second divided body 128 are combined by abutting each other's end faces, the divided body convex portion 136 and the divided body concave portion 138 are fitted, whereby the first divided body 126 and the first divided body 126 The space between the end faces of the two-divided body 128 can be sealed. As described above, the duct 114 has at least a space between the divided bodies 126 and 128 assembled to each other by the sealing structure formed by fitting the divided body convex portions 136 and the divided body concave portions 138 formed on the end surfaces of the divided bodies 126 and 128. Since it is sealed by the inward extending portion extending to the air chamber 107, sound leakage from between the divided bodies 126 and 128 can be prevented. Thereby, the acoustic effect by the lower enclosure 104 can be exhibited appropriately, and the quality of the sound output from the lower speaker unit 100 can be improved. Divided body convex portions 136 are formed on the end surfaces of both divided bodies 126 and 128 so as to extend in the thickness direction central portion, and on the corresponding end surfaces, the divided body concave portions 138 extend in the thickness direction central portion.

That is, when the first divided body 126 and the second divided body 128 are combined, the end faces of the two divided bodies 126 and 128 are arranged on both sides of the fitting portion between the divided body convex portion 136 and the divided body concave portion 138. It can be made to contact. That is, the duct 114 is more tightly sealed between the two divided bodies 126 and 128.

(About sound output)
The front frame 13 is configured to be openable and closable with respect to the middle frame 12 with hinges 32 and 33 provided on the left edge as fulcrums. In the front frame 13, the design shape constituting the front surface of the front frame 13 in the first sound output unit S1 disposed on the left side on the hinges 32 and 33 side in the upper part is arranged on the right side as the open end in the upper part. The front and rear dimensions of the second sound output portion S2 provided are configured to be at least smaller than the design shape that forms the front surface of the front frame 13. That is, when the front frame 13 is opened with respect to the middle frame 12, it is possible to avoid the first sound output unit S1 from interfering with peripheral equipment such as an installation frame base of a game shop where the pachinko machine 10 is installed, The opening angle of the front frame 13 can be widened. Further, the second sound output unit S2 disposed on the right side of the front frame 13 is unlikely to interfere with the peripheral equipment when the front frame 13 is opened with respect to the middle frame 12, so the space on the front side of the pachinko machine 10 The design shape of the second sound output unit S2 can be set to be large using Therefore, the second sound output unit S2 can improve the design such as increasing the stereoscopic effect, and can effectively decorate the front frame 13.

(Light emission structure of sound output part)
The first sound output unit S1 is disposed so that the first upper enclosure 54A overlaps the front side of the front frame light emitter 41 disposed on the front frame base member 34, and light is emitted from the front frame light emitter 41. At this time, the first decorative portion 66 provided in the first upper enclosure 54A emits light. The first sound output unit S1 is illuminated with the first horn member 70 that covers the front side of the first upper enclosure 54A and constitutes the design of the front frame 13 by the light transmitted through the first decoration unit 66, and is transparent. Through the first horn member 70, the first decorative portion 66 that emits light can be viewed from the player side. The second sound output unit S2 is disposed so that the second upper enclosure 54B overlaps the front side of the front frame light emitter 41 disposed on the front frame base member 34, and light is emitted from the front frame light emitter 41. In addition, the second decorative portion 79 provided on the covering member 78 covering the front side of the second upper enclosure 54B emits light. Then, the second sound output unit S2 is illuminated with the second horn member 80 that covers the front side of the covering member 78 and constitutes the design of the front frame 13 by the light transmitted through the second decorative portion 79, and is transparent. The second decorative portion 79 that emits light can be viewed from the player side through the two-horn member 80. As described above, the left and right sound output units S1 and S2 are provided on the front side of the front frame light-emitting body 41, with the upper enclosures 54A and 54B, the decorative portions 66 and 79 capable of transmitting light and diffusing light, and the transparent horn member. 70 and 80 overlap each other in order. As described above, since the first sound output unit S1 needs to prevent interference when the front frame 13 is opened, it is difficult to increase the design shape. Here, even if the first sound output unit S1 has a smaller design shape than the second sound output unit S2, the first sound output unit S2 is provided by providing the first decorative unit 66 in the first upper enclosure 54A itself. The light emitting structure can be the same as that of the second decorative portion 79 provided on the cover member 78 separate from the second upper enclosure 54B. In other words, the first sound output unit S1 and the second sound output unit S2 can perform a light emission effect in a light emitting manner with the same impression. In the first sound output unit S1, the second sound output unit S2 and the second sound output unit S2 are discolored. It is possible to perform a light emitting effect without any. In other words, the first sound output unit S1 omits the covering member 78 of the second sound output unit S2, and provides the first decorative portion 66 in the first upper enclosure 54A, so that the first sound output unit S1 is located on the front side of the front frame light emitter 41.
