Description

The present invention relates to a slide rail, a gaming machine component, and a gaming machine.

  Various functional parts are used in parts for gaming machines such as attackers and accessories, for example, a specific part is driven by a solenoid, or a specific part is slidably held by a slide rail or the like. ing. This type of functional component is required to be downsized and highly functional. As techniques related to such a problem, Patent Documents 1 and 2 are provided.

  In the solenoid device 100 disclosed in Patent Document 1, a substrate 150 on which a connector 160 is mounted is attached to a solenoid body including a coil 101, a spool 110, a first yoke piece 120, and a second yoke piece 130. Further, a cover 180 is attached. The cover 180 is provided with an opening 182 so that the connector 160 is exposed, and the engagement hook 183 engages with the yoke to hold the substrate 150.

  While the functional parts as described above are required to have higher functions, there is also a demand for minimizing the accompanying increase in size. In the above-mentioned Patent Documents 1 and 2, countermeasures against such a request are insufficient, and a configuration capable of further miniaturization is demanded.

  For example, in the technique of Patent Document 1, the circuit board 150 and the cover 180 are provided in a form that spans a yoke piece in addition to the normal solenoid configuration, and the high functionality is achieved by such a configuration. If the circuit board 150 and the cover 180 are separately attached to the yoke piece, an increase in the number of components is unavoidable, and the portion becomes considerably large.

  Further, in the configuration of Patent Document 2, a wiring relay board 50 including a donut-shaped coil mounting portion 51 and a wiring portion 53 having an extended structure is attached to and integrated with the curl pole tooth yoke 40, and a driving IC 55 is integrated. However, in this structure, a dedicated wiring portion 53 (extension portion) must be provided to hold the driving IC 55 and the like, and an increase in the size of the component configuration is inevitable. . In particular, since the wiring portion 53 needs to have appropriate rigidity and strength in order to hold the driving IC 55, the thickness and length are considerably increased. In addition, when the dedicated wiring portion 53 is arranged in an extended structure in this way, the amount of protrusion at a specific portion increases, so that it easily interferes with other members, and the degree of design freedom is reduced, and the space for arranging other members is reduced. It becomes easy to lead to decrease.

  According to the slide rail of the present invention, in addition to the basic function as a slide rail, the metal plate portion can be provided with a function as a circuit portion to achieve high functionality. In addition, since an insulating layer is directly laminated on the metal plate portion and a conductive portion is arranged, and an electronic component is mounted on such a laminated portion, the thickness is compared with a configuration in which a separate substrate is prepared. It is easy to reduce the number of parts and the number of parts, which is more advantageous for downsizing.

  In the slide rail of the present invention, each of the fixing member and the sliding member includes a plate-like portion configured in a longitudinal shape, and one of the fixing member and the sliding member is provided on itself. Further, a pair of opposing walls rising from both sides in the short direction of the plate-like part are provided, and the opposing wall and the plate-like part are integrally constituted by the metal plate, and are constituted by the pair of opposing walls. The other member or a connecting member connected to the other member is arranged in a configuration guided by the groove, and the insulating layer is a plate surface opposite to the other member in the plate-like portion of the one member. It may be arranged above.

  In this way, by laminating an insulating layer on the back side portion of the plate-like portion (that is, the portion on the opposite side of the plate surface facing the other member) and providing the conductive portion and the electronic component, the other member or It becomes easy to ensure a large space of the circuit portion at a position where it does not interfere with a member that cooperates with the other member.

One end side of the plunger 23 is inserted into the.

  The plunger 23 is configured in a shaft shape by a magnetic material such as a metal material, and one end side enters the coil portion 21, and a flange portion 23 a is formed on the other end side (tip side). This flange portion 23a is adapted to be fitted to a slide piece 71 which will be described later, and the plunger 23 and the slide piece 71 move integrally (slide back and forth) in accordance with the energization operation or energization release operation of the coil portion 21. ). Further, between the flange portion 23a and the front wall portion 22a, a spring member 24 configured as a coil spring (a spring member 24 corresponds to an example of an urging member) is disposed around the plunger 23. The spring member 24 biases the flange portion 23a away from the front wall portion 22a (the direction in which the other end side of the plunger 23 protrudes).

  The circuit unit 30 includes one or a plurality of insulating layers 31 arranged on the outer wall surface of the metal plate 22 (specifically, on the side wall portion 22d), and a conductive unit arranged in the insulating layer 31 or on the insulating layer 31. 32 and an electronic component 33 mounted on the front surface side.

In addition, as a structure for laminating the insulating layer 31 and the conductive portion 32 on the metal plate 22 or a structure for mounting an electronic component, a structure similar to a known metal substrate can be used.

  The solenoid 20 configured as described above is fixed to the frame 50 in a configuration in which the solenoid 20 is supported on the lower frame 52 in the above-described housing portion. More specifically, the support wall 56 is formed in the lower frame 52 so as to support the outer wall surface of the metal plate 22 (specifically, the outer wall surface of the side wall portion 22d) directly or indirectly through another member. The solenoid 20 is fixed in a configuration placed on the support wall 56. A through hole 56a is formed at a predetermined position of the support wall 56 so as to penetrate the support wall 56 up and down.

With such rotation, the opening / closing member 73 is in a position (open position) in which the one end portion 73a is raised and the upper end portion is tilted forward of the opening portion 53a. At this time, the opening portion 53a is opened. It becomes a state and a game ball can enter. On the other hand, when the excitation of the coil portion 21 is released and the plunger 23 is in the projecting position (position projecting from the immersion position), and the slide piece 71 is displaced to the front position (position ahead of the rear position), The moving member 72 is in a second rotation position where the recess 72b is lowered than in the first rotation position. Along with such rotation, the opening / closing member 73 is lowered at the one end 73a and raised at the upper end side to a position adjacent to the opening 53a (closed position). At this time, the opening 53a is in a closed state. The game ball cannot enter.
