The credit medal is paid out as an actual medal by depressing the settlement switch 55 in a state where is stored and stored. In this case, if paying attention to the function of paying out the credited virtual medal as an actual medal, it can be said that the checkout switch 55 constitutes a checkout operation means for actually paying out the stored game value.

  It should be noted that the surplus inserted medals up to a predetermined maximum value (for example, 50 medals) or the “credit mode” set to store and memorize the winning medals as a credit medal, the surplus inserted medals, In the case of a slot machine that can switch between the “direct mode” set so that the winning medal at the time of winning is paid out as an actual medal, the settlement switch 55 has a function as a switching switch for mode switching. May be added. The settlement switch (changeover switch) 55 is turned on when pressed once, turned off when pressed again, and turned on / off every time a pressing operation is performed. When the settlement switch 55 is on, the credit mode is selected. When the settlement switch 55 is off, the direct mode is selected. If there is a credit medal when the credit mode is switched to the direct mode, the corresponding credit medal is paid out as an actual medal. Thereby, the player can execute the game in a format according to his / her preference by switching between the credit mode and the direct mode. The settlement switch 55 constitutes a switching operation means for switching the input value and game value handling formats.

  A button-like return switch 60 is provided below the medal insertion device 30 (on the right side of the stop switch 52).

The reels 285 to 287 are rotatably supported on the right side of the reel plates 282 to 284. Further, in a state where the upper and lower ends of the reel plates 282 to 284 are fixed to the case member 281 with fasteners such as screws, a part of each reel 285 to 287 appears from the front opening portion of the case member 281. . The front side portions of the reel plates 282 to 284 are configured in a shape corresponding to the exposed portions of the reels 285 to 287 from the case member 281.

  Further, a plate-shaped shielding member formed so as to close the exposed portion of the right reel 287 from the right side is fixed to the right edge of the front opening portion of the case member 281 with a fastener such as a screw.

  The reel device 280 is provided with a reel index sensor (rotational position detection sensor) for detecting the rotational position of each of the reels 285 to 287 as another configuration. Further, a backlight (rear light emitting means) made of a fluorescent lamp or the like is provided on the inner peripheral side of each reel 285 to 287, and each pattern attached to the outer peripheral surface of the reel is brighter than the rear by this backlight. Illuminated. By the light emission of the backlight, it is possible to improve the visibility of each symbol attached to the outer peripheral surface of the reel and to diversify the auxiliary effects in the game.

  In the present embodiment, the reel plates 282 to 284 and the shielding member can prevent the inside of the case member 281 from being seen from the outside. That is, the light from the backlight can be prevented from leaking outside the reel device 280.

  A substantially plate-shaped partition portion 211 formed so as to be connected to the right side plate portion 210e and the back plate portion 210c is formed inside the inner casing 210 and above the reel device 280. The inner area of the inner casing 210 is divided into two vertically. On the opposite side of the partition unit 211 from the installation region of the reel device 280, that is, in the region above the partition unit 211, the main controller unit 300 is arranged.

<Configuration of main controller unit 300>
Hereinafter, the main controller unit 300 will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 8 is a perspective view of the main controller unit 300 as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 9 is an exploded perspective view of the main controller unit 300 disassembled for each major component. 8 and 9, the back plate portion 210c of the inner casing 210 is indicated by a two-dot chain line for convenience.

  As shown in FIG. 8, the main controller unit 300 includes a main controller 301 that executes various controls relating to games, and a pedestal unit 302 that constitutes means for attaching the main controller 301 to the inner housing 210. The pedestal unit 302 is integrated with the inner casing 210 by being fixed to the back plate portion 210 c of the inner casing 210.

  The main controller 301 has a long plate-like main control board 311 for performing various controls relating to games and a substantially box shape extending in the same direction as the longitudinal direction of the main control board 311 (specifically, the left-right direction). And a board box 312 that accommodates the main control board 311, and the element mounting surface 311 a of the main control board 311 is arranged to face the front of the gaming machine.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the pedestal unit 302 includes a base body 321 that detachably holds the main controller 301 (specifically, the board box 312), and the base body 321 is fixed to the back plate portion 210 c of the inner housing 210. And a pedestal 331.

  The base body 321 has a facing portion 322 that faces the back surface of the main controller 301 (substrate box 312). The facing portion 322 has a long plate shape that is longer than the board box 312, the front surface of the facing portion 322 abuts the back surface of the main control device 301, and the rear surface of the facing portion 322 is the inner casing 210. It is in contact with the back plate portion 210c. More specifically, the back surface portion of the substrate box 312 has a stepped shape formed such that the upper portion of the back surface portion protrudes rearward from the lower portion, and the recessed portion (lower portion) of the back surface portion. By fitting the facing portion 322, the upper part of the back surface of the substrate box 312 and the rear surface of the facing portion 322 are flush with each other. This suppresses the formation of a space between the main controller unit 300 and the back plate portion 210c, making it difficult to install an illegal board or the like behind the main controller 301.

  A projecting portion 323 projecting forward of the gaming machine is formed at the lower end portion of the facing portion 322. The overhanging portion 323 faces the main control device 301 from the lower side, and is provided with a function of covering at least a part of the main control device 301 (specifically, fixing means described later).

  The overhanging portion 323 is provided with a fixing portion 324 for fixing the main control device 301 combined with the base body 321 to the base body 321, and the fixing by the fixing portion 324 is released. In such a case, a configuration is employed in which a fixed release trace remains on the main controller 301 side. This makes it difficult to remove the main control device 301 from the pedestal unit 302, and even if the same action is performed, the fact can be confirmed.

  Insertion portions 326 through which both side portions of the main controller 301 are inserted are formed at both left and right end portions of the facing portion 322. The insertion portion 326 has a groove shape opened to the main control device 301 side, and an inlet portion 327 for the main control device 301 is formed at the end opposite to the overhang portion 323. When the main control device 301 is combined with the base body 321, the main control device 301 is inserted into the protruding portion 323 side along the insertion portion 326 by inserting the main control device 301 inserted from the inlet portion 327 into the main control device 301. The base body 321 is arranged at the mounting completion position.

  The base body 321 is formed using a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material, and the visibility of the main controller 301 through the base body 321 is ensured. Thus, a part of the main control device 301 is covered by the base body 321 while avoiding the occurrence of a blind spot in the main control device 301 due to the configuration.

  The pedestal 331 is disposed so as to sandwich the base body 321 from both sides (left and right both sides) in the longitudinal direction of the base body 321, and a base portion 332 that comes into contact with the base body 321 from the rear side, and stands up from the base portion 332. It has a side wall portion 333 that faces the base body 321 from the side. Shaft portions 334 are formed on the side wall portion 333 so as to protrude toward the base body 321, and bearing portions 328 are formed on both sides of the base body 321 so as to correspond to the shaft portions 334 on a one-to-one basis. Has been. By engaging the shaft portion 334 with the bearing portion 328, the base 331 and the base body 321 are integrated, and the base body 321 (main control device 301) is moved forward of the gaming machine around the axis extending in the left-right direction. Is allowed to rotate.

  The base 331 is formed with a locking piece 335 that is hooked to the base body 321, and the base body 321 from the position where the element mounting surface 311 a faces the front of the gaming machine by the locking piece 335 (main The displacement of the control device 301) is hindered. The locking piece 335 can be switched between a hooked state and a hook-released state. By operating the locking piece 335 with a finger or the like to set the hook-released state, the central axis of the shaft portion 334 is centered. Rotation of the main control device 301 to the front of the gaming machine is allowed.

  When the main control device 301 reaches a predetermined rotation position, the pedestal 331 is brought into contact with the main control device 301 from the front side in the rotation direction, thereby further rotating the main control device 301. A stopper 336 that cannot be moved is formed. When the main control device 301 is rotated to a position where it abuts against the stopper 336, the back surface of the main control device 301 faces upward. As a result, it is possible to visually confirm the back surface of the main control device 301 without removing the main control device 301 from the pedestal unit 302.

  Here, a supplementary description will be given of a configuration related to fixing the base 331 to the back plate portion 210c of the inner housing 210. The base 331 is formed with a screw hole 337 penetrating in the front-rear direction. The base body 321 is arranged at the standby position and communicates with the screw hole 337 in a state where the rotation is restricted by the stopper 336. Thus, a communication hole 329 is formed. When fixing the pedestal unit 302 to the back plate portion 210c, a screw 341 inserted through the communication hole 329 from the front of the gaming machine (the front opening of the inner housing 210) is a tool such as a screwdriver with respect to the screw hole 337. The inner casing 210 and the pedestal unit 302 are integrated with each other by screwing them using.

  When the main controller 301 is assembled in a state where the fixing of the pedestal unit 302 is completed, the main unit 301 is formed on the board box 312 (specifically, the board box 312 protrudes from the main body 351 defining the internal space. The shielding portion 352 (provided) is inserted into the communication hole 329. This shielding part 352 prevents access to the screw 341 through the communication hole 329. That is, when removing the pedestal unit 302, it is necessary to first remove the main control device 301 from the pedestal unit 302 and to remove the shielding portion 352 from the communication hole 329. Traces will remain. As a result, an illegal act of removing the main control device 301 together with the pedestal unit 302 without leaving any trace is made difficult.

Further, the main control board 311 is provided with a reset switch 317 for resetting various states of the slot machine 10, a setting key insertion portion 318 for a hole manager or the like to adjust the appearance of medals. In this slot machine 10, the winning probabilities of a predetermined role in the winning / losing lottery are set in advance in a plurality of stages, and a game hall administrator or the like inserts a setting key into the setting key insertion unit 318 and turns the setting key to the ON side. In this way, the winning probability can be set to a predetermined stage among the plurality of stages.

  In the main control board 311, various elements such as the MPU 315 and the connector 316 are all mounted on the same plate surface, and are soldered on the opposite plate surface except for the MPU 315. That is, the main control board 311 has one plate surface as the element mounting surface 311a and the other plate surface as the solder surface 311b.

  The solder surface 311b is a surface provided with soldering portions for various elements mounted on the element mounting surface 311a, but a circuit pattern may be formed on the solder surface 311b.

  As shown in FIG. 11, the board box 312 has a function as an enclosing means for housing the main control board 311, and access to the main control board 311 is restricted by the board box 312. The substrate box 312 includes a front side structure (box cover) 400 that covers the main control board 311 from the element mounting surface 311a side and a back side structure (box) that covers the main control board 311 from the solder surface 311b side as a plurality of box structures. Base) 500 is combined with each other. The front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 are materials having transparency so that the element mounting surface 311a and the solder surface 311b of the main control board 311 accommodated in the board box 312 can be seen from outside the board box 312. Is formed by. Specifically, the substrate box 312 is made of a colorless and transparent polycarbonate resin. The material for forming the substrate box 312 is not limited to polycarbonate resin, but may be acrylic resin or the like.

  As shown in FIG. 11A, the front side structure 400 includes a front side facing portion 401 that faces the element mounting surface 311a with a gap. In the front-side facing portion 401, connector openings 402 corresponding to the respective connectors 316 projecting from the element mounting surface 311a are formed on a one-to-one basis, and the connectors 316 are connected via the connector openings 402. The insertion port is exposed to the outside of the substrate box 312. The connector 316 is biased and arranged on the rotation base end side of the main control device 301, and suppresses an increase in the margin of wiring generated with the rotation of the main control device 301.

  Further, the front-side facing portion 401 of the front-side structure 400 includes a reset switch opening 403 and a setting key opening 404 that expose the reset switch 317 and the setting key insertion portion 318 to the outside of the substrate box 312, and each of these openings. Cover pieces 405 and 406 are provided to cover the portions 403 and 404 so that they can be opened and closed. By opening the opening cover pieces 405 and 406 and exposing the openings 403 and 404, the reset switch 317 and the setting key insertion portion 318 can be accessed via the openings 403 and 404.

  As shown in FIG. 13, a front side peripheral portion 421 that defines the peripheral edge of the front side structure 400 is formed on the outer edge of the front side facing portion 401. The front side peripheral edge portion 421 stands on the main control board 311 side from the front side facing part 401 and surrounds the main control board 311. That is, the front side structure 400 has a substantially rectangular box shape opened to the main control board 311 side, and it can be said that the main control board 311 is accommodated in a region surrounded by the front side structure 400.

  The main control board 311 is screwed to the front side facing portion 401 of the front side structure 400 from the solder surface 311b side, and various elements mounted on the element mounting surface 311a of the main control board 311 are connected to the main control board 311. Exposure outside the area partitioned by the front structure 400 is avoided.

  The back side structure 500 is fixed to the front side structure 400 in which the main control board 311 is integrated. As shown in FIG. 12, the back-side structure 500 is formed along the substantially flat plate-like back-side facing portion 501 facing the solder surface 311 b of the main control substrate 311 and the peripheral edge of the back-side facing portion 501. The rear side peripheral edge portion 521 standing on the side is integrally formed, and has a substantially box shape opened to the main control board 311 side as a whole.

  By fixing the back side structural body 500 from the surface side of the main control board 311 to the front side structural body 400, the front side peripheral edge portion 421 of the front side structural body 400 and the back side peripheral edge portion 521 of the back side structural body 500 overlap, and the front side configuration The open part of the body 400 is in a state of being blocked by the back side structure 500.

  Here, the structure regarding fixation with the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 is demonstrated. As a configuration relating to the fixation of the two structural members 400 and 500, a defining means 313 for defining the relative displacement direction of the two structural members 400 and 500 to be a specific direction, and a relative displacement in the specific direction are prevented. A fixing means 314 for fixing the two structural members 400 and 500 to each other is employed. Hereinafter, the defining means 313 will be described first, and then the fixing means 314 will be described.

  In the following description, the front side peripheral portion 421 of the front side structure 400 is located on both sides of the main control board 311 in the short direction and faces the main control board 311 (ie, the outer wall of the long side part). The left and right wall surfaces constituting the first front side peripheral wall portions 425 and 426 are located on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the main control board 311 and are opposed to each other with the main control board 311 sandwiched therebetween (that is, constitute the outer wall of the short side part). The upper and lower wall surface portions) are referred to as second front side peripheral wall portions 427 and 428, and are located on both sides in the longitudinal direction of the main control board 311 in the back side peripheral edge portion 521 of the back side structure 500, with the main control board 311 interposed therebetween. The opposing parts (that is, the left and right wall surface parts constituting the outer wall of the short side part) are located on both sides of the first back side peripheral wall parts 525 and 526 and the main control board 311 in the short direction, and the same main control. Parts facing each other across the plate 311 (i.e. the wall portions of the upper and lower constituting the outer wall of the long side) is referred to as a second back wall section 527, 528.

<Defining means 313>
The front-side structure 400 is formed with front-side plate-like portions 431 and 432 that stand from the front-side facing portion 401 and face the second front-side peripheral wall portions 427 and 428 with a gap from the inside of the substrate box 312. (Refer to FIG. 13) The back-side structure 500 rises from the back-side facing portion 501 and faces the second back-side peripheral wall portions 527 and 528 with a gap from the inside of the substrate box 312 with a gap therebetween. Is formed (see FIG. 12).

  Each of the plate-like portions 431, 432, 531, and 532 shown in FIGS. 12 and 13 is such that the outer surface of the front-side plate-like portion 431 contacts the inner surface of the back-side plate-like portion 531 and the outer surface of the front-side plate-like portion 432. Is configured to come into contact with the inner surface of the back side plate-like portion 532. As a result, the plate-like portions 431, 432, 531, 532 are arranged in the direction in which the plate-like portions 431, 432, 531, 532 are arranged side by side while allowing the relative displacement of both the structural members 400, 500 in the surface expansion direction. The relative displacement of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 is regulated. That is, these plate-like portions 431, 432, 531, and 532 constitute a restricting means that restricts relative displacement of the two structural members 400 and 500 in the longitudinal direction of the main control board 311. In addition, the front side plate-like portions 431 and 432 and the back side plate-like portions 531 and 532 are overlapped so as to be doubled inside and outside, thereby passing through the boundary portion between both the structural bodies 400 and 500 from the outside of the substrate box 312. Unauthorized access to the main control board 311 is made difficult.

  Between each of the second peripheral wall portions 427, 428, 527, 528 and the plate-like portions 431, 432, 531, 532, both components 400, 500 in the thickness direction (for example, the front-rear direction) of the main controller 301 are provided. A restricting means for restricting the relative displacement is provided. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 12, a hook portion 533 that constitutes the restriction means is provided between the back side plate-like portions 531 and 532 and the second back side peripheral wall portions 527 and 528 of the back side structure 500. It has been. The hook portion 533 stands up from the back side facing portion 501, and the tip end portion thereof is bent toward the first back side peripheral wall portion 525 side (the rotation tip side of the main controller 301 or the front side in the mounting direction with respect to the pedestal unit 302). Yes.

  On the other hand, in the region sandwiched between the second front side peripheral wall portions 427 and 428 and the front side plate-like portions 431 and 432 in the front side structure 400, as shown in the partially enlarged view of FIG. A catching portion 433 to be caught is provided.

  Specifically, each receiving portion 433 includes an insertion portion 434 for the hook portion 533 opened to the back-side structure 500 side, and a back-side structure relative to a tip portion of the hook portion 533 inserted through the insertion portion 434. A contact portion 435 that contacts from the 500 side is formed. In this way, the hook portion 533 and the contact portion 435 are in contact with each other, so that the relative movement of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 in the thickness direction of the substrate box 312 is restricted.

  The abutting portion 435 extends in the short direction of the main control device 301 (main control board 311), and at least the tip portion of the hook portion 533 is inserted in the insertion portion 434 in the short direction. Even if the relative positions of the two structural members 400 and 500 change, the contact is maintained. That is, in a state where at least the tip portion of the hook portion 533 is inserted into the insertion portion 434, the separation of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 is restricted by the hook portion 533 and the receiving portion 433.

  In a state in which the relative displacement is regulated by each of the regulating means, at least one of the two components 400 and 500 is slid in the short direction of the main controller 301 (main control board 311), thereby both the components 400. , 500 can be combined. That is, by using these restricting means in combination, the relative displacement direction when combining or separating the two structural bodies 400 and 500 is defined to be the same as the short direction of the main control board 311. .

  When the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 are slid (relatively displaced) in the combination direction described above (for example, when the front side structure 400 is slid toward the combination side with respect to the back side structure 500), When the front-side structure 400 reaches the combination completion position with respect to the back-side structure 500, the first front-side peripheral wall portion 425 of the front-side structure 400 has a main controller 301 relative to the first back-side peripheral wall portion 525 of the back-side structure 500. The first front-side peripheral wall portion 426 contacts the first back-side peripheral wall portion 526 from the outside of the main controller 301. Thereby, the further slide to the same direction is blocked | prevented and the combination of both the structures 400 and 500 will be completed.

  Fixing means 314 for fixing both components 400 and 500 to each other is provided at the end of the substrate box 312 on the side where the first peripheral wall portions 425 and 525 are provided (see FIG. 10). The fixing means 314 protrudes from the base body 321 of the board box 312 to the outside of the base body 321, specifically, to the projecting portion 323 side of the pedestal unit 302 (that is, the rotation base end side of the main controller 301). The fixing means 314 prevents the main control board 311 from becoming difficult to see.

  The fixing means 314 is accommodated in fixing means accommodating portions 323a and 323b (see FIG. 8 or FIG. 9) formed on the pedestal unit 302 (specifically, the overhang portion 323). Access from outside the main controller unit 300 is restricted. This makes it difficult to access the fixing means 314 without removing the main control device 301 from the pedestal unit 302.

  The fixing means 314 has a function as a sealing means for sealing the main control board 311 in the board box 312. That is, the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 are fixed by the fixing means 314 so that they cannot be opened. By performing sealing using the fixing means 314, unauthorized access to the main control board 311 is suppressed. Also, if the main control board 311 is accessed, the fact that the seal is released from the fixing means 314 remains, and the fact that the main control board 311 has been accessed is confirmed by checking the trace. I can grasp it.

  The fixing means 314 includes a first fixing means 314A and a second fixing means 314B that are provided separately and independently, and the substrate box 312 is opened by releasing the sealing by the fixing means 314A and 314B. The separation of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 is allowed. Particularly in the present embodiment, different fixing methods are applied to the fixing means 314A and 314B.

  Hereinafter, the first fixing means 314A will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 to 16, and then the second fixing means 314B will be described. 14 is a partial cross-sectional view taken along line AA of FIG. 10, FIG. 15 is an exploded perspective view of the first fixing means 314A viewed from the front side, and FIG. 16 is an exploded perspective view of the first fixing means 314A viewed from the back side. is there.

<First fixing means 314A>
As shown in FIG. 15 and the like, the first fixing means 314A includes a front side fixing part 450 provided in the front side structure 400, a back side fixing part 550 provided in the back side structure 500 and making a pair with the front side fixing part 450, And a cover member 600 that covers both the fixing portions 450 and 550.

  The back side fixing part 550 is integrally formed with the first back side peripheral wall part 525 (the peripheral wall part on the projecting part 323 side of the pedestal unit 302), and protrudes from the first back side peripheral wall part 525 to the outside of the substrate box 312. . The back-side fixing portion 550 stands up from the first back-side peripheral wall portion 525 and extends in the same direction (downward) as the specific direction (the relative displacement direction of the structural bodies 400 and 500 defined by the defining means 313). ) Back side arm portion 551. The back side arm portions 551 are arranged apart from each other in the longitudinal direction of the main control board 311, and a substantially flat plate-like back side fixed so as to straddle all the back side arm portions 551 at the front end portions of the back side arm portions 551. A base portion 561 is formed. If attention is paid to the fact that the back side arm portion 551 has a function of connecting the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312 and the back side fixed base portion 561, the back side arm portion 551 is referred to as a “connecting portion”. Is also possible.

  On the other hand, the front-side fixing portion 450 is integrally formed in a portion of the first front-side peripheral wall portion 425 that faces the first back-side peripheral wall portion 525 of the back-side component 500, and the substrate box 312 is formed from the first front-side peripheral wall portion 425. Protrudes outside. The front-side fixing portion 450 has one front-side arm portion 451 that stands up from the first front-side peripheral wall portion 425 and extends in the same direction (downward) as the restriction direction (see FIG. 14). The front side arm portion 451 is formed so as to overlap from the front side with respect to one of the back side arm portions 551 arranged at the center (see FIG. 10), and in the first back side peripheral wall portion 525, the front side arm portion 551 is formed on the back side arm portion 551. A slit 535 penetrating inward and outward is provided in an adjacent part.

  The slit 535 is formed in a size that allows insertion of the front arm portion 451, and the front arm portion 451 is fitted into the slit 535, whereby the front arm portion 451 and the first back peripheral wall portion 525 are formed. Interference is avoided. The slit 535 is closed from the inside of the substrate box 312 by the first front side peripheral wall portion 425 coming into contact with the first back side peripheral wall portion 525.

  The front end portion of the front arm portion 451 extends to the side farther from the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312 than the front end portion of the back side arm portion 551. A groove portion 562 is formed in the back side fixed base portion 561 so as to correspond to the front side arm portion 451 and open to the front side fixing portion 450 side. The groove portion 562 extends in the same direction as the front arm portion 451, and both end portions thereof are open to the first back side peripheral wall portion 525 side and the opposite side of the first back side peripheral wall portion 525. A front arm portion 451 is inserted through the groove portion 562.

  A substantially flat front side fixed base portion 461 is formed at an intermediate portion between the front end portion and the base end portion of the front side arm portion 451 so as to face the back side fixed base portion 561. If attention is paid to the fact that the front side arm portion 451 is provided with a function of connecting the main body portion 351 of the board box 312 and the front side fixed base portion 461, the front side arm portion 451 is referred to as a “connecting portion”. Is also possible.

  On both sides of the front-side fixed base portion 461 with the front-side arm portion 451 interposed therebetween, front-side protrusions 465 that protrude toward the back-side fixed base portion 561 are provided (see a partially enlarged view of FIG. 16). On the other hand, the back side fixed base portion 561 is provided with a back side protrusion 565 that is paired with the front side protrusion 465 (see a partially enlarged view of FIG. 15).

  More specifically, as shown in each enlarged view of FIGS. 15 and 16, the front-side protrusion 465 stands substantially vertically from the front-side fixed base portion 461 and at the first front-side peripheral wall portion 425 side (the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312). The rear side protrusion 565 stands substantially perpendicularly from the back side fixed base portion 561 and is on the first back side peripheral wall portion 525 side (substrate box 312). Of the substrate box 312 and the front side rising surface 466 is opposite to the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312. The back side rising surface 566 is opposite to the main body portion 351 of the board box 312. The relative displacement of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 toward the separation side in the regulation direction is regulated by abutting from the side.

  The front protrusion 465 has a front inclined surface 467 that connects the tip of the front rising surface 466 and the front fixed base 461 and is inclined to the opposite side of the first front peripheral wall 425. A back-side inclined surface 567 that connects the tip of the back-side standing surface 566 and the back-side fixed base portion 561 and is inclined toward the first back-side peripheral wall portion 525 is formed. When the structural bodies 400 and 500 are combined, the front inclined surface 467 and the back inclined surface 567 come into contact with each other due to the relative displacement of the structural bodies 400 and 500 toward the combination side in the specific direction, and the front fixed base portion 461 and Both fixing parts 450 and 550 are bent and deformed so that the distance from the back side fixing base part 561 is increased. After that, when the positional relationship between the inclined surfaces 467 and 567 in the specific direction is reversed, the fixing portions 450 and 550 are restored to the state before deformation by the elastic force stored in the inclined surfaces 467 and 567, and the rising surface 466 is adjusted accordingly. , 566 come into contact with each other. Thereby, the relative displacement to the separation side of both constituents 400 and 500 is regulated.

  In addition, by disposing both protrusions 465 and 565 constituting the fixing means 314 in a region sandwiched between the both fixing base portions 461 and 561, the exposure of the protrusions 465 and 565 is suppressed, and unauthorized access from the outside of the main control device 301 is prevented. Access is difficult.

  In the back side fixed base portion 561, the tip of the front side arm portion 451 is inserted into the end portion on the opposite side to the back side arm portion 551, specifically, the end portion on the side opposite to the back side arm portion 551 with respect to the groove portion 562. An insertion portion 571 is formed. The insertion portion 571 protrudes toward the front-side fixing portion 450 and has a groove shape opened to the opposite side to the groove portion 562. The insertion portion 571 is formed with a stopper portion 573 that prevents the front-side fixing portion 450 from being lifted from the back-side fixing portion 550 by contacting the front end portion of the front-side arm portion 451 from the front-side fixing portion 450 side. (See FIG. 14).

  By restricting such lifting, it is possible to reduce the engaging margin between the front-side protrusion 465 and the back-side protrusion 565 described above and reduce the fixing function of the both protrusions 465 and 565. In particular, in the configuration in which the first fixing means 314A protrudes from the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312, the displacement restriction function by the hook portion 533 and the receiving portion 433 is difficult to achieve. In view of this, the fixing function can be stably exhibited by providing a means for restricting the lifting of the first fixing means 314A at a position closer to the tip than the protrusions 465 and 565.

  As shown in FIG. 14, if the relationship between the front arm portion 451 and the insertion portion 571 (stopper portion 573) is supplementarily described, the end surface 572 on the inlet side of the insertion portion 571 has a front arm portion 451 (specifically, its front end). A guiding portion 574 for guiding the portion) to the stopper portion 573 is formed. The guide portion 574 has a surface shape inclined toward the back side (stopper portion 573 side) of the insertion portion 571, and the front end of the front arm portion 451 is moved based on the relative displacement toward the combination side of the components 400 and 500. By coming into contact with the guide portion 574, the front arm portion 451 is guided to the stopper portion 573 side. Even when the inclined surfaces 467 and 567 are brought into contact with each other in the process of combining the structural bodies 400 and 500 and the fixed base portions 461 and 561 are lifted, the front arm portion 451 is detached from the insertion portion 571. The occurrence of inconvenience such as reaching the position is suppressed.

  Further, before the rising surfaces 466 and 566 of the projections 465 and 565 are hooked, the stopper portion 573 and the front arm portion 451 are brought into contact with each other, and the engagement margin between the stopper portion 573 and the front arm portion 451 is set. Has been. Thereby, while adopting the guiding portion 574, it is avoided that the lifting prevention function by the stopper portion 573 and the front arm portion 451 is lowered by the guiding function of the guiding portion 574.

  The cover member 600 is provided so as to cover at least a fixing portion by the fixing base portions 461 and 561 among the front side fixing portion 450 and the back side fixing portion 550 described in detail above. More specifically, both the fixing portions 450 and 550 are covered by the cover member 600. The cover member 600 is formed using a synthetic resin material having transparency, and the visibility of the fixing portions 450 and 550 through the cover member 600 is ensured. Hereinafter, the cover member 600 and the configuration related thereto will be described with reference to FIGS. 17A is a perspective view showing the external structure of the cover member 600, FIG. 17B is a partially cutaway view showing the internal structure of the cover member 600, and FIG. 17C is a schematic view showing the movement of the cover member 600.

<Cover member 600>
As shown in FIG. 14, the cover member 600 includes a first cover portion 610 that covers arm portions 451 and 551 (connection portions with the main body portion 351) in the fixing portions 450 and 550, and fixed base portions 461 and 561 (fixed portions). ) And a connecting part 630 for connecting the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620. The second cover part 620 is a board box 312 (specifically, a fixing part 450). , 550) cannot be removed from the board box 312.

  As shown in FIG. 17A, the first cover portion 610 has a cylindrical shape extending along the arm portions 451 and 551, and the main body portion 351 (specifically, the first peripheral wall portion 355) side and the main body portion. 351 (specifically, the first peripheral wall portion 355) is open on the opposite side. Of these open portions, the open portion on the main body 351 side is an insertion port 601 of the cover member 600, and the insertion port 601 is convex on the side opposite to the center of the insertion port 601. A flange-shaped opening edge 611 is formed. By forming the opening edge portion 611 in this manner, the strength of the first cover portion 610 is improved.

  The first peripheral wall portion 355 is formed with a fitting recess 353 that fits with the opening edge portion 611 so as to straddle both the constituent members 400 and 500 (first peripheral wall portions 425 and 525). The inner shape of the fitting recess 353 is formed to match the outer shape of the opening edge 611 (see FIG. 14), and when the cover member 600 is mounted, the inner shape of the fitting recess 353 is the same as the bottom surface and the peripheral surface of the fitting recess 353. The opening edge 611 of the 1 cover part 610 is in contact. This makes it difficult to enter the region surrounded by the cover member 600 through the gap between the cover member 600 and the main body 351. Further, the displacement of the cover member 600 in a direction other than the regulation direction is suppressed by the fitting recess 353. Thereby, for example, the act of weakening the removal restriction of the cover member 600 by shifting the position of the cover member 600 is made difficult.

  The second cover part 620 has a substantially envelope shape opened to the first cover part 610 side, and communicates with the first cover part 610 through the open part (hereinafter referred to as a communication port 602) (see FIG. 17 (b)). The communication port 602 is formed to be slightly smaller than the open portion of the first cover part 610, and its end face is opposed to the region surrounded by the first cover part 610.

  Referring again to FIG. 14, the front side arm portion 451, the front side fixed base portion 461 and the back side fixed base portion 561 constituting the front side fixing portion 450 are inserted through the communication port 602. A gap is secured in part between the communication port 602 and the front side fixed base portion 461, and the front side fixing portion 450 is prevented from being caught by the communication port 602 when the cover member 600 is attached. Yes.

  A cover portion 471 that covers a part of the communication port 602 from the first cover portion 610 side is formed at the end portion of the front side fixed base portion 461 (see FIG. 15). The cover portion 471 is in contact with the end surface of the communication port 602 from the first cover portion 610 side, and a gap formed between the communication port 602 and the front-side fixed base portion 461 is on the first cover portion 610 side. It is in a state of being blocked from. Thereby, unauthorized access to the area (for example, the above-mentioned regulating means) surrounded by the second cover part 620 via the area surrounded by the first cover part 610 is suppressed.

  An opening portion 621 that penetrates into and out of the cover member 600 is formed in a portion of the second cover portion 620 that faces the front-side fixed base portion 461. The opening 621 is provided with a cover-side engagement portion 622 that allows displacement of the cover member 600 inward and outward through the opening 621 (see FIG. 17C).

  As shown in FIG. 17, the cover-side engaging portion 622 has a plate-like portion 623 that faces the front-side fixed base portion 461 and faces the opening 621 with a gap therebetween, and the opening 621. And the plate-like portion 623 are connected to the second cover portion 620 through a connecting portion 624 formed so as to fill the gap.

  The connecting portion 624 has an arm shape that extends away from the first cover portion 610 along the edge of the opening 621 (extends from the front side to the front side in the mounting direction of the cover member 600), and has a plate shape. They are arranged on both sides of the part 623, respectively. The end portion of the connecting portion 624 on the first cover portion 610 side is connected to the edge portion of the opening 621, and bending deformation with the connecting portion (base end portion) as the base end is allowed.

  The other end portion (tip portion) of the connecting portion 624 is located on the front side in the mounting direction of the cover member 600 with respect to the plate-like portion 623 of the cover-side engaging portion 622, and the end portion is the same plate-like portion. It is connected to 623 from the front side in the same mounting direction. More specifically, a return portion 624a is formed at the distal end portion of the connecting portion 624 so as to be folded back toward the base end portion, and this return portion 624a is connected to the plate-like portion 623 (see FIG. 15). ).

  As described in detail above, by devising the connection between the connecting portion 624 and the cover side engaging portion 622, the connecting portion 624 is bent and deformed around the base end portion with respect to the cover side engaging portion 622. Therefore, the displacement around the base end is allowed, and further, the displacement around the bent portion by bending and deforming with the bent portion of the connecting portion 624 (the base end portion of the return portion 624a) as the base end. Is allowed.

  Note that most of the opening portion 621 in the second cover portion 620 is covered by the connecting portion 624 and the plate-like portion 623, and it is difficult to insert unauthorized tools or the like through the opening portion 621. A gap for injecting a cured resin described later is secured between 621 and the plate-like portion 623.

  As shown in FIG. 14, a protruding portion 625 that protrudes toward the front-side fixed base portion 461 is formed at the end of the cover-side engaging portion 622 that is connected to the connecting portion 624 in the plate-like portion 623. On the other hand, a through-hole 563 that penetrates in the thickness direction of the back-side fixed base portion 561 is formed in a portion between the groove portion 562 and the insertion portion 571 in the back-side fixed base portion 561, and this through-hole 563 is formed. When the protrusion 625 is inserted into the protrusion 625, the protrusion 625 exists at a position straddling both the fixed base portions 461 and 561.

  The protruding portion 625 has a substantially plate shape perpendicular to the direction in which the cover portions 610 and 620 are juxtaposed (the direction in which the cover member 600 is attached / detached), and the plate surface on one side of the protruding portion 625 is the end surface of the insertion portion 571. The cover member 600 is in contact with the 572 from the front side in the mounting direction. Thereby, the displacement to the removal direction of the cover member 600 is controlled.

  An insertion hole 626 through which the front arm portion 451 is inserted is formed in a portion of the protruding portion 625 facing the entrance portion of the insertion portion 571 so as to communicate with the entrance portion. By inserting the front end portion of the front arm portion 451 into the insertion hole 626, the protrusion 625 from the through hole 563 is prevented from coming off. Thereby, removal of the cover member 600 from the board box 312 is restricted.

  Further, a claw portion 452 that is convex on the opposite side of the stopper portion 573 of the insertion portion 571 is formed at the distal end portion of the front arm portion 451, and the protruding portion 625 is a cover member 600 with respect to the claw portion 452. It contacts from the front side in the mounting direction. That is, the displacement of the cover member 600 in the removal direction is restricted not only by the back side structure 500 but also by the front side structure 400.

  Triangular ribs 627 are formed on both sides of the cover side engaging portion 622 with the insertion hole 626 interposed therebetween, and are connected to the protruding portion 625 and the plate-like portion 623, and both sides of the front side fixed base portion 461 sandwich the front side arm portion 451. Is provided with an action portion 472 that hits the triangular ribs 627. The action portion 472 is configured to abut against the triangular rib 627 in a situation where the inclined surfaces 467 and 567 of the projections 465 and 565 are in contact with each other, and the triangle rib 627 is pushed by the action portion 472. Then, the cover side engaging portion 622 is displaced from the front side fixed base portion 461 to the floating side by the inclination of the triangular rib 627. Thus, when the cover member 600 is attached, it is avoided that the insertion hole 626 is displaced from the insertion track of the front arm portion 451 and the transition to the engaged state is not performed well.

<Sealing work using the first fixing means 314A>
Here, with reference to FIG. 18, the transition operation to the sealed state using the first fixing means 314A will be described. FIG. 18 is an operation explanatory view showing the movement of the first fixing means 314A. FIG. 18 (a) → FIG. 18 (based on the mounting operation of the cover member 600 and the combination operation (sliding operation) of the two structural members 400 and 500. b) It operates in the order of FIG. Note that the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 are combined by relative movement in the regulation direction defined by the plate-like portion 431 and the like. The result is substantially the same between the case of sliding and the case of sliding the front side structure 400 relative to the back side structure 500. Therefore, in the following description, a case where the front-side structure 400 is slid with respect to the back-side structure 500 will be exemplified.

  When combining the two structural members 400 and 500, first, the hook portion 533 of the back-side structure 500 is fitted into the insertion portion 434 of the front-side structure 400, and the front-side structure 400 is brought closer to the back-side structure 500. . By fitting the hook part 533 into the insertion part 434, the back side plate-like part 531 of the back side structure 500 is interposed between the second front side peripheral wall parts 427, 428 and the front side plate-like parts 431, 432 of the front side structure 400. 532 is fitted, and the sliding direction of the front-side structure 400 with respect to the back-side structure 500 is limited to the specific direction (see FIGS. 12 and 13).

  Thus, at the stage where the hook portion 533 is inserted into the insertion portion 434, the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are displaced in the specific direction, and the combination has not yet been completed (FIG. 18 ( a)). In this state, a part of the front arm portion 451 is fitted in the groove portion 562, and the protrusion of the front arm portion 451 toward the through hole 563 side causes the plate-like portion 623 of the cover side engaging portion 622 to the through hole 563. It is suppressed to the extent that it does not prevent it from being inserted.

  Here, the cover member 600 is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500. Specifically, the cover member 600 is pushed through the insertion port 601 of the cover member 600 so that the fixing portions 450 and 550 are accommodated in the cover member 600. With such a pushing operation, first, the triangular rib 627 of the cover member 600 (specifically, the cover side engaging portion 622) hits the tip end portion (specifically, the inserting portion 571) of the back side fixed base portion 561 from the front side in the insertion direction, The triangular rib 627 is pushed to the side away from the back side fixing part 550 through the opening 621 by further pushing operation. Thereby, the connecting portion 624 is bent and deformed (elastically deformed), and the cover side engaging portion 622 is displaced to the outside of the cover member 600 through the opening 621 (see the two-dot chain line in FIG. 18A). .

  When the amount of displacement of the cover side engaging portion 622 reaches a predetermined amount, the cover side engaging portion 622 rides on the insertion portion 571 of the back side fixed base portion 561 and further pushes the cover member 600. As a result, it is displaced toward the through hole 563 while remaining on the insertion portion 571.

  Thereafter, when the cover member 600 reaches the mounting completion position with respect to the back-side structure 500 (the back-side fixing portion 550), the protruding portion 625 of the cover-side engaging portion 622 reaches the through hole 563 of the back-side fixing base portion 561, and the connecting portion 624 is reached. Is restored to its pre-deformation state by the elastic force stored in itself, so that the protruding portion 625 fits into the through hole 563 (see FIG. 18B).

  Thus, in the state where the cover member 600 is attached, the cover member 600 abuts on the first back side peripheral wall portion 525 of the back side structure 500 so that further pushing operation becomes impossible, and further, the protruding portion 625 is formed. By contacting the insertion portion 571, the cover member 600 is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500 as described above. However, in such a state, the cover member 600 is only temporarily fixed to the back-side structure 500, and the cover-side engaging portion 622 can be pulled out from the through hole 563 with a finger or the like, and the same operation is performed. Thus, the temporary fixing of the cover member 600 can be released.

  In this way, when the mounting operation of the cover member 600 is performed again, the cover side engaging portion 622 is lifted by lifting the end of the plate-like portion 623 opposite to the portion connected to the connecting portion 624 with a finger or the like. The bent portion of the connecting portion 624 is rotated as a base end. As a result, the plate-like portion 623 strikes the end surface 572 of the insertion portion 571 at an angle, and the cover-side engagement portion 622 is displaced to the side away from the through hole 563 by a pulling operation in the removal direction of the cover member 600. It will be. Thereby, the operation for releasing the engagement of the cover side engaging portion 622 can be simplified, and it is possible to prevent the removal work of the cover member 600 from becoming difficult.

  After the temporary fixing of the cover member 600 is completed as shown in FIG. 18 (b), the front structure 400 is combined with the back structure 500 as shown in FIG. 18 (b) → FIG. 18 (c). Slide towards the completion position. At this time, first, the front end portion of the front arm portion 451 is inserted into the insertion hole 626 of the cover member 600 (specifically, the protruding portion 625). Thereafter, the front side inclined surface 467 of the front side projection 465 and the back side inclined surface 567 of the back side projection 565 come into contact with each other as the front end portion of the front side arm portion 451 that has passed through the insertion hole 626 reaches the insertion portion 571, thereby fixing the front side. The part 450 is displaced so as to be lifted from the back side fixing part 550.

  When the slide operation of the front side structure 400 is continued, the front end portion of the front side arm portion 451 first comes into contact with the stopper portion 573 of the insertion portion 571, and the displacement of the front side arm portion 451 toward the stopper portion 573 is restricted. The Thereafter, the claw portion 452 of the front arm portion 451 comes into contact with the insertion hole 626 of the protruding portion 625 from the opening portion 621 side, and the protruding portion 625 is pushed away from the opening portion 621.

  Thereafter, when the front-side inclined surface 467 of the front-side protrusion 465 gets over the back-side inclined surface 567 of the back-side protrusion 565, the front-side fixing portion 450 returns to the state before deformation (before lifting) by its own elastic force, and the front-side standing surface 466 The back side standing surface 566 comes into contact. Thereby, the combination of the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 is completed, and the relative displacement of the both structures 400, 500 to the separation side is restricted (see FIG. 18C).

  Further, the claw portion 452 of the front arm portion 451 is hooked to the protruding portion 625 of the cover side engaging portion 622 slightly before the catches of both the protrusions 465 and 565, and the cover member 600 moves to the separation side of the front side structure 400. Will be regulated. In this manner, the action portion 472 contacts the triangular rib 627 of the cover member 600 until the claw portion 452 and the protruding portion 625 are engaged and the combination of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 is completed. Thus, the cover side engaging portion 622 is slightly pushed to the opening 621 side, and the edge of the insertion hole 626 in the plate-like portion 623 is in contact with the front arm portion 451 from the side opposite to the opening 621. It becomes. Thereby, it is suitably avoided that the allowance between the claw portion 452 and the protruding portion 625 is reduced.

  In this way, the relative displacement of the two structural members 400 and 500 toward the separation side is restricted, so that the front-side structural member 400 and the back-side structural member 500 are integrated, and the main control board 311 is placed in the board box 312. It will be in a sealed state.

  Thereafter, the cured resin is injected into the region surrounded by the second cover part 620 through the opening 621 of the cover member 600, so that the gap between the second cover part 620 and the fixing parts 550 and 650 is made of the cured resin. Buried. This cured resin is cured by irradiating with ultraviolet rays, and the above-mentioned displacement of the movable part is hindered by the cured resin. The area surrounded by the second cover part 620 and the area surrounded by the first cover part 610 are partitioned by the cover part 471 and the like, and the cured resin injected from the opening part 621 The flow into the area surrounded by the first cover part 610 is avoided.

  Thus, by covering the main movable part of the first fixing means 314A with the cured resin, it is difficult to perform an unauthorized fixing release operation from the outside of the cover member 600, and the crime prevention function is improved.

  When the main controller 301 in the sealed state is assembled to the pedestal unit 302 in this way, the first fixing is performed in the fixing means accommodating portion 323a (see FIG. 9) formed in the base body 321. Means 314A are accommodated. Thereby, without removing the main controller 301 from the pedestal unit 302 (base body 321), access to the first fixing means 314A, release of fixing by the first fixing means 314A, and removal of the cover member 600 are performed. Is impossible.

  The fixing means accommodating portion 323a is preferably formed by using a synthetic resin material having transparency, while covering the entire first fixing means 314A so that the above functions can be suitably achieved. The visibility of the first fixing means 314A through the fixing means accommodating portion 323a is ensured. Furthermore, a lens portion is formed in a portion facing the cover side engaging portion 622 in the fixing means accommodating portion 323a, and the cover side engaging portion 622 is viewed through the lens portion, thereby the cover side. The engaging portion 622 and its peripheral portion are enlarged and displayed. Thereby, the confirmation work of the cover side engaging part 622, the connecting part 624, etc. is facilitated.

<Configuration relating to seal release of first fixing means 314A>
Next, referring to FIG. 14 and FIG. 17 again, a configuration used when releasing the sealed state by the first fixing means 314A will be described.

  As described with reference to FIG. 17 and the like, the cover member 600 includes the first cover portion 610 and the second cover portion 620, and both the cover portions 610 and 620 are connected via the connecting portion 630. Yes. Specifically, a slit is formed at the boundary between the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620 so that the strength of the cover member 600 is partially weakened. More specifically, with respect to the connecting portion 630, the part other than the connecting portion 630 in the cover member 600 is broken to release the separation restriction of the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 to open the substrate box 312. It is formed so as to facilitate the opening operation.

  The connecting portion 630 has an arm shape extending in the same direction as the arm portions 451 and 551, and the front portion of the cover member 600 where the opening 621 is provided and the side where the opening 621 is provided. And a back surface portion opposite to each other. Further, the connecting portion 630 is formed so that a part of the connecting portion 630 faces a region partitioned by the first cover portion 610. The connecting portion 630 is provided on both sides of the connecting portion 630 with a nipper, a cutter, or the like. A tool insertion hole for breaking (cutting) using the tool is formed. In this way, the work area using the tool is secured, thereby facilitating the destruction work of the connecting portion 630.

  However, the suppression function of the 1st cover part 610 which suppresses unauthorized access to each arm part 451,551 by employ | adopting the said working hole may fall. In this regard, the connecting portion 630 in the present embodiment is arranged so as to sandwich the front arm portion 451 and the back arm portion 551 overlapping the front arm portion 451, and the arm through the work hole. While suppressing the exposure of the parts 451 and 551, it makes the act of destroying only the arm parts 451 and 551 without destroying the connecting part 630 difficult.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 14, the first cover portion 610 is formed in a size that allows the second cover portion 620 to pass through the inside of the first cover portion 610. For example, a tool such as a cutter or a nipper When the connecting part 630 is cut using the two and the cover parts 610 and 620 are separated, the first cover part 610 is pulled out by pulling the first cover part 610 to the side opposite to the mounting direction of the cover member 600. Can be removed. In FIG. 14, a region sandwiched between two-dot chain lines corresponds to the passage route of the first cover portion 610.

<Release work of the seal by the first fixing means 314A>
Here, with reference to FIG. 19, the flow of work when releasing the seal by the first fixing means 314A will be described. FIG. 19 is an operation explanation diagram showing the flow of the seal release operation using the first fixing means 314A. By performing the operations in the order of FIG. 19A → FIG. 19B → FIG. 19C. The main controller 301 is opened.

  In order to release the seal by the first fixing unit 314A, first, the connecting portion 630 of the cover member 600 is cut using a tool such as a nipper or a cutter. Thereby, the cover member 600 is separated into the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620.

  Here, the second cover portion 620 is provided with a fixing function for the substrate box 312, and the second cover portion 620 is maintained in a state of being fixed to the fixing portions 450 and 550. On the other hand, since the first cover part 610 is not provided with a fixing function like the second cover part 620, the relative position of the first cover part 610 relative to the fixing parts 450 and 550 is allowed by being cut. (See FIG. 19A).

  After the first cover part 610 is separated from the second cover part 620, the second cover part 620 passes through the first cover part 610 as shown in FIG. The first cover part 610 can be removed by displacing it in the direction opposite to the mounting direction. By removing the first cover portion 610 in this manner, the front arm portion 451 and the back arm portion 551 are exposed, and access to the arm portions 451 and 551 is permitted.

  Here, as with the connection portion 630, the arm portions 451 and 551 are the same as the arm portions 451 and 551, rather than breaking the fixed base portion 461, the second cover portion 620, etc. It is configured so that it is easier to remove the components 451 and 551 from the substrate box 312 and remove the components 400 and 500 from fixing the components 451 and 551.

  By using a tool such as a nipper or cutter again, all the arm portions 451 and 551 (for example, the part indicated by the arrow in FIG. 19B) are cut to form the first fixing as shown in FIG. 19C. The main part of the means 314A will be separated from the substrate box 312. In other words, the fixed base is not released from the fixed state between the front side fixed part 450 and the back side fixed part 550 or the fixed state between both the fixed parts 450, 550 and the cover member 600 (specifically, the first cover part 610). By separating the parts 461 and 561 and the first cover part 610 from the substrate box 312, the fixing of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 is released. As a result, the substrate box 312 is opened.

  As described above, when the sealing by the first fixing means 314A is released, the destruction trace (opening trace) remains in the substrate box 312, and it can be confirmed afterwards that the substrate box 312 has been opened. It has become. Focusing on the fact that the first fixing means 314A has a function of leaving an opening trace, the first fixing means 314A (particularly the arm portions 451 and 551) can also be referred to as “first trace means”. .

  When the arm portions 451 and 551 are cut in this way, in the configuration in which the presence or absence of opening is grasped by visually confirming the trace, it is difficult to confirm the trace by bonding the cut surface or the like. There is a possibility of cheating. If such a fraudulent act is performed, it is assumed that the damage to the game hall will be enormous due to the discovery of the fraudulent act being delayed. In view of this, the present embodiment has been devised to suppress the occurrence of such inconvenience. Hereinafter, a configuration related to the device will be described with reference to FIGS. 14 and 19.

<Configuration to facilitate discovery of concealment>
As shown in FIG. 14, a protrusion 455 is integrally formed on the front-side facing portion 401 of the front-side structure 400 at a portion opposite to the front-side arm portion 451 with the first front-side peripheral wall portion 425 interposed therebetween. . The protruding portion 455 extends in the same direction as the front arm portion 451, and is formed in a series with the front arm portion 451. A light emitting body (specifically, LED) 319 that emits light to the front side of the main control board 311 is provided at a portion of the element mounting surface 311a of the main control board 311 that faces the tip of the protrusion 455. Light from the light emitter 319 is applied to the protrusion 455 and enters the protrusion 455 through a surface of the protrusion 455 facing the light emitter 319 side.

  A reflection surface 456 that reflects the light emitted to the protrusion 455 to the front arm part 451 is formed in a portion of the protrusion 455 that is irradiated with light from the light emitter 319. The reflecting surface 456 has a planar shape having a component facing the light emitter 319 side and a component facing the tip end side of the front arm portion 451, and allows light to pass therethrough. That is, part of the light from the light emitter 319 passes through the reflection surface 456 and is irradiated as it is to the front of the gaming machine, and the rest is reflected to the front arm portion 451 side without passing through the reflection surface 456. The light reflected by the reflecting surface 456 is emitted to the outside of the front arm portion 451 via the protrusion 455 → the front arm portion 451.

  A light diffusing portion 457 for diffusing light is formed in a portion where light is emitted in the front arm portion 451, specifically, a portion facing the bottom surface of the groove portion 562 of the back side fixed base portion 561. The light diffusing portion 457 has a stepped shape including a plurality of step portions formed from the front end portion to the base end portion of the front side arm portion 451, and light is emitted from the front side arm portion 451 so that the light diffusing portion 457 is formed. It is configured to be visually recognized as if the whole is emitting light.

  The light emitter 319 always emits light when the power of the slot machine 10 is ON. When the hall manager or the like performs confirmation work of the main controller 301, the light emitter 319 emits light through the reflecting surface 456. After confirming that the body 319 emits light, it is possible to grasp whether or not there is a possibility of concealing the destruction trace as described above by confirming the light emission of the light diffusion portion 457. it can.

  If a fraudulent act such as separating the first fixing means 314A and then rejoining the arm portions 451 and 551 using an adhesive or the like is performed, the above-described destruction in the light path (front arm portion 451) is performed. The light is diffused at the site (see FIG. 19C), the middle part of the front arm 451 emits light, the light emission level of the light diffusing unit 457 decreases, or the light diffusing unit 457 is turned off. It becomes. Thereby, even if the concealing action is performed, the fact can be easily grasped, and the crime prevention function is further improved.

  The first fixing means 314A described in detail above is disposed on the long side portion (first peripheral wall portion 355) of the substrate box 312. The sealing unit of the pedestal unit 302 and the main controller 301 with respect to the first fixing means. The second fixing means 314B is arranged on the opposite side across (the fixing portion 324 and the trace portion 325) (see FIG. 10 and the like). In the first fixing means 314A, the opening fact can be confirmed by visual observation. In addition to the visual opening fact confirmation function, the second fixing means 314B has a function of confirming the opening fact by a method other than visual observation. Yes. Hereinafter, the second fixing means 314B and the related configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. 20 is an exploded perspective view showing the second fixing means 314B disassembled for each main configuration, FIG. 21A is a partial cross-sectional view taken along the line BB of FIG. 10, and FIG. It is a C line fragmentary sectional view.

<Configuration related to second fixing means 314B>
As shown in FIG. 20, the second fixing means 314 </ b> B is provided on the substrate box 312 and the sealing seal 700 that couples the constituent members 400 and 500 by being attached so as to straddle the constituent members 400 and 500. It has a sticking base 361 that constitutes a sticking part of the seal seal 700.

  Specifically, a recess 356 that is recessed toward the inside of the substrate box 312 is formed in the first front peripheral wall 425 of the front structure 400. The sticking base 361 includes a front-side sticking base part 481 protruding from the bottom part 357 of the recess 356 and a back-side sticking base part 581 protruding from the first back-side peripheral wall part 525 of the back-side structure 500. In the state where the backside structure 500 is combined, the front-side pasting base part 481 and the back-side pasting base part 581 overlap each other in the direction in which the two constituent bodies 400 and 500 are juxtaposed. In this way, the front-side pasting base portion 481 and the back-side pasting base portion 581 are combined to form the pasting base 361 having a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape.

  Here, the relationship between the front side sticking base part 481 and the back side sticking base part 581 is demonstrated in detail.

  The front-side pasted base portion 481 has a substantially long plate shape extending from the bottom portion 357 of the concave portion 356 in the same direction as the specific direction, and the tip portion projects from the concave portion 356. The concave portion 356 has a pair of side wall portions 358 that are continuous with the bottom portion 357 and are opposed to each other with the bottom portion 357 interposed therebetween. A front-side paste base portion 481 is individually provided at a position adjacent to each of the side wall portions 358. It has been. That is, both the front side sticking base portions 481 are provided so as to face each other with a gap therebetween.

  The base end portion of each front-side pasted base portion 481 is continuous with the side wall portion 358 as well as the bottom portion 357. Thus, the holding strength of the front side sticking base part 481 is improved by connecting the front side sticking base part 481 to the bottom part 357 and the side wall part 358.

  As shown in FIG. 12, the back side pasting base portion 581 is integrally formed with the first back side peripheral wall portion 525 of the back side structure 500. The back side pasting base part 581 protrudes from the first back side peripheral wall part 525 and faces the front side pasting base part 481, and a substantially plate-like facing part 582 bulging from the facing part 582 to the front side pasting base part 481 side. Part 583. The bulging portion 583 is fitted between the above-mentioned front-side sticking base portions 481 and is sandwiched between both front-side sticking base portions 481 (see FIGS. 20 and 21). Further, the bulging portion 583 extends inward of the substrate box 312 across the first back side peripheral wall portion 525 of the back side structure 500, and the substrate generated by forming the recess 356 in the front side structure 400. A gap between the boxes 312 (specifically, a gap that is not covered by the front-side pasting base portion 481) is closed by the extended portion.

  A projecting piece 482 extending in the same direction as the projecting direction of the front-side pasting base portion 481 is formed at a portion of the front-side pasting base portion 481 facing the facing portion 582 (see FIG. 13). An engaging portion 584 that engages with the protruding pieces 482 in a state where the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are combined is formed on the facing portion 582 of the portion 581 (see FIG. 12). Thus, the protrusion piece 482 is engaged with the engaging portion 584, so that the front-side pasting base portion 481 is lifted from the back-side pasting base portion 581 and the relative displacement in the width direction is restricted.

  As shown in FIG. 21 (b), in a state in which the pasting base portion 361 is formed by integrating the pasting base portions 481 and 581, the surface of the front side pasting base portion 481 (facing the front side of the main controller 301). And the surface of the bulging portion 583 (the portion facing the front side of the main control device 301) are formed to form the same plane. In this plane portion, a pasting region 362 for pasting the seal seal 700 is formed so as to straddle the front side pasting base portion 481 and the back side pasting base portion 581.

  That is, the pasting region 362 is configured by the left side region 362L and the right side region 362R configured by the surface of the front side pasting base portion 481 and the surface of the back side pasting base portion 581 and is positioned between the left side region 362L and the right side region 362R. Central region 362M. In other words, there are boundaries (gap) between the left region 362L and the central region 362M, and between the central region 362M and the right region 362R, and the seal seal 700 is pasted so as to straddle each boundary. It has a configuration that can be. Hereinafter, a boundary generated between the left region 362L and the central region 362M is referred to as a “boundary BL”, and a boundary generated between the central region 362M and the right region 362R is referred to as a “boundary BR”.

  The front-side structure 400 and the back-side structure 500 are fixed by affixing the seal seal 700 to the affixing region 362 described in detail above.

  Here, the seal seal 700 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22A is a front view of the seal seal 700, FIG. 22B is a back view of the seal seal 700, and FIG.

<Seal seal 700>
As shown in FIG. 22, the seal seal 700 includes a substantially rectangular base sheet 701, and an adhesive layer 702 formed by applying an adhesive is provided on the back surface of the base sheet 701. An IC tag 703 as an electronic tag (or RFID tag) is embedded in the adhesive layer 702. In FIG. 22, the release sheet 704 is laminated on the adhesive layer 702, but the release sheet 704 is peeled off when the seal seal 700 is attached to the substrate box 312.

  The base sheet 701 is made of a flexible resin film such as a polyester film, has moderate brittleness, and is reactive to solvents and heat. Specifically, when toluene or the like having solubility with respect to the pressure-sensitive adhesive constituting the pressure-sensitive adhesive layer 702 is applied to the base sheet 701, the base sheet 701 changes color. Further, the base sheet 701 is also discolored when heat equal to or higher than a temperature (for example, 50 ° C.) at which the adhesive strength of the adhesive layer 702 is reduced. As a result, when a solvent is applied or heat is applied to remove the seal seal 700 from the pasting region 362 of the substrate box 312, the base sheet 701 is discolored to leave a trace of the fraud. Can do.

  On the surface of the base sheet 701, as shown in FIG. 22A, an ink application unit 705, an identification number unit 706, and a model information unit 707 are provided. The ink application unit 705 is coated with special ink that shows a pattern when irradiated with light of a specific wavelength such as ultraviolet rays. A plurality of numbers are described in the identification number portion 706, and the numbers described in the identification number portion 706 are different for each pachinko machine. In the model information portion 707, the model name of the gaming machine, the manufacturer name of the gaming machine, and the like are described.

  The adhesive of the adhesive layer 702 has an adhesive force that can be removed from the base sheet 701 when it is peeled off after being applied once, as in the case of a conventional seal. Therefore, when the seal seal 700 is peeled off, it cannot be applied again, and a part of the adhesive layer 702 remains on the application region side. Therefore, the trace which peeled off the seal | sticker seal | sticker 700 illegally can be left.

  The IC tag 703 includes an IC chip 711 and an antenna member 712. The IC chip 711 is formed as an integrated circuit and has a control unit and a memory area. The memory area is configured by a non-volatile memory (ROM) in which data cannot be rewritten, and its storage capacity is, for example, 128 bits. ID information as identification information is stored in the memory area. Specifically, a manufacturer name (or a manufacturer unique number assigned to each manufacturer) and an ID number unique to the gaming machine are stored. Since the memory area of the IC chip 711 is not rewritable, inconveniences such as unauthorized alteration of ID information can be suppressed.

  The antenna member 712 has a planar rectangular shape and is relatively thin (for example, 10 to 200 μm) long, and is formed as a conductive foil made of metal such as aluminum or copper. An IC chip 711 is disposed substantially at the center in the longitudinal direction (or length direction) of the antenna member 712. The IC chip 711 is arranged by fixing an electrode (not shown) of the IC chip 711 to the antenna member 712 with an adhesive such as an anisotropic conductive film or a conductive paste.

  A slit 713 is formed at the position where the IC chip 711 is disposed in the antenna member 712 so as to penetrate from the front surface to the back surface of the antenna member 712. The slit 713 extends from the IC chip 711 in the longitudinal direction of the antenna member 712, and extends from the IC chip 711 in a direction intersecting the longitudinal direction, specifically in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal direction. The second slit portion 715 reaching the end of the antenna member 712 is formed in an L shape as a whole. The slit 713 functions as an inductor that constitutes a matching circuit that is combined with a capacitive element formed inside the IC chip 711 to match the impedance between the IC chip 711 and the antenna member 712. In this regard, the slit 713 can be referred to as a notch for matching, and in view of a configuration in which normal communication is not possible in the IC tag 703 if the slit 713 does not function properly, a communication matching unit or an inability state generating unit. It can be called.

  The antenna member 712 has a function as a resonance adjustment circuit, and the length of the antenna member 712 has an important influence on the communication characteristics. The optimal length of the antenna member 712 varies depending on the operating conditions. However, when the periphery of the antenna member 712 is air, the optimum wavelength is about ½ wavelength of the operating frequency, and the periphery is covered with a dielectric. In this case, it is known that the optimum length dimension is shorter than this because there is a wavelength shortening effect by the dielectric. The length dimension of the antenna member 712 in the slot machine 10 is set to a size of about 50 mm so that the operating frequency becomes a constant frequency.

  The ID information of the IC chip 711 is configured to be called by the control unit and be transmitted as a radio wave from the antenna member 712. The radio wave transmitted from the antenna member 712 is received by the reader device and the ID information is received. Can be read.

  As shown in FIG. 22B, the IC tag 703 (antenna member 712) is disposed obliquely from one corner side to the diagonal corner side in the base sheet 701. In this case, the long antenna member 712 has its longitudinal direction intersecting all the side directions of the base sheet 701.

  An antenna notch 716 is formed in the seal seal 700. The antenna cut 716 penetrates from the surface of the base sheet 701 to the surface of the adhesive layer 702. Note that the surface of the adhesive layer 702 is a surface exposed on the back surface side of the seal seal 700, and it can be said that the antenna notch 716 penetrates from the surface of the seal seal 700 to the back surface.

  The antenna cut 716 has a linear shape extending in a direction orthogonal to or substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna member 712. Incidentally, the direction orthogonal or substantially orthogonal to the longitudinal direction of the antenna member 712 is a direction intersecting all the side directions of the base sheet 701.

  The antenna cuts 716 are formed so as to sandwich the antenna member 712 in the short direction of the antenna member 712, and a plurality of antenna cuts 716 are formed at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction on each long side portion side. Yes. Each antenna cut 716 has a configuration in which a region where the antenna member 712 is not disposed in the base sheet 701 is one end and the other end is slightly applied to a region where the antenna member 712 is disposed. In this case, the antenna cut 716 on one long side is formed so as not to line up in the short direction with respect to the antenna cut 716 on the other long side.

  A part of the plurality of antenna cuts 716 is provided adjacent to a region where the slit 713 is formed in the antenna member 712. In this case, a part of the antenna cuts 716 on one long side is provided adjacent to the region where the slit 713 is formed in the antenna member 712 and one on the other long side. The antenna notch 716 is also provided adjacent to the area where the slit 713 is formed in the antenna member 712. That is, the antenna cut 716 is formed so as to sandwich at least a region where the slit 713 is formed in the antenna member 712.

  Corner cuts 717 that penetrate from the surface side of the base sheet 701 to the surface of the adhesive layer 702 are formed at the four corners of the seal seal 700, respectively. The corner-side cut 717 is formed in an L shape so as to follow the corner angle of the seal seal 700. In addition, a large number of outer edge notches 718 are formed on the outer edge of the seal seal 700 from the outer edge end portion toward the inner side. These outer edge cuts 718 are formed in an acute V shape so as to open from the inside to the outside, and are formed at equal intervals along the outer periphery of the seal seal 700.

  Since the antenna cut 716, the corner cut 717, and the outer cut 718 are formed as described above, the base sheet 701 may be broken or the antenna member 712 may be peeled off when the seal seal 700 is peeled off from the sticking region 362. Is disconnected.

  Specifically, when the seal seal 700 is peeled from the sticking region 362, stress due to the peeling force concentrates on the corner-side cut 717 and the outer edge cut 718 of the seal seal 700, so that the seal seal 700 is broken. Thereby, for the hall manager or the like, when the seal seal 700 after being peeled is reapplied, it is possible to grasp the fact of the unauthorized opening by visually confirming the destruction.

  Further, the stress accompanying the peeling force concentrates on the end of the antenna cut 716, whereby the base sheet 701 is broken through the antenna cut 716, and the antenna member 712 is cut accordingly. In this case, since the length dimension of the antenna member 712 is reduced, the communicable distance is shortened. Thus, the administrator can grasp the fact of the unauthorized opening by confirming that communication using the reader device is difficult or cannot be performed.

  Further, the antenna cut 716 is formed so as to sandwich at least the region where the slit 713 is formed in the antenna member 712, and extends over the left region 362L, the central region 362M, and the right region 362R of the sticking base 361. The antenna cut 716 is arranged. Therefore, when the fixation by the seal seal 700 is to be released, it is expected that the antenna member 712 is cut or broken at the place where the slit 713 is formed. If it does so, impedance matching will not be performed favorably, but it will become difficult to communicate, or communication will become impossible. In this case, the administrator can grasp the fact of unauthorized opening by confirming that communication using the reader device is difficult or cannot be performed.

  The antenna cut 716 is formed on one long side of the antenna member 712 and on the other long side, so that the antenna cut 716 is removed when the seal seal 700 is peeled off. The slit region is easily broken or cut through.

  In addition, each antenna cut 716 is formed so that the region where the antenna member 712 is not disposed in the base sheet 701 is one end and the other end is slightly over the region where the antenna member 712 is disposed. Accordingly, when the seal seal 700 is broken through the antenna cut 716, the broken area easily reaches the slit area in the seal seal 700, and therefore the slit area is easily broken or cut through the antenna cut 716. .

  Further, the antenna cut 716 is formed in the base sheet 701 and is not formed in the antenna member 712. Further, the antenna cut 716 formed on one long side of the antenna member 712 and the antenna cut 716 formed on the other long side are formed so as not to line up in the width direction of the antenna member 712. ing. Accordingly, in the configuration in which the slit region is easily broken or cut through the antenna cut 716, the slit region may be broken or cut by mistake when the seal seal 700 is properly attached to the sticking region 362. Is reduced.

  Next, a configuration related to the sticking position of the seal seal 700 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 24 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the positional relationship between the pasting region 362 and the seal seal 700. For convenience of explanation, in FIG. 24, the corner side cut 717 and the outer edge cut 718 are omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 24, the seal seal 700 is affixed to the affixing region 362. In this case, in the pasting region 362, the region on the left side of the boundary BL (left region 362L), the region sandwiched between the boundaries BL and BR (center region 362M), and the region on the right side of the boundary BR (right region 362R). A seal seal 700 is disposed over the region, and the seal seal 700 covers the regions 362L, 362M, and 362R and the entire boundaries BL and BR. As described above, the seal seal 700 is attached to both the attachment base portions 481 and 581 so as to straddle the boundaries BL and BR between the front-side attachment base portion 481 and the back-side attachment base portion 581, thereby opening the substrate box 312. Operation is impeded by the seal seal 700. Therefore, it is difficult to open the substrate box 312 without cutting the portion pasted over the boundaries BL and BR in the seal seal 700 or without removing the seal seal 700.

  As already described, the antenna member 712 of the seal seal 700 is disposed from one corner side to the diagonal corner side of the base sheet 701, so that the antenna member 712 is similar to the seal seal 700. Is also arranged across the left region 362L, the central region 362M, and the right region 362R. In this case, the antenna member 712 of the IC tag 703 straddles the boundaries BL and BR.

  In addition, a groove portion 585 extending in parallel with the boundaries BL and BR is formed in the bulging portion 583 of the back side pasting base portion 581, and the central region 362 </ b> M is divided into right and left by the groove portion 585. As shown in FIG. 24, among the impedance matching slits 713 in the antenna member 712, a first slit portion 714 extending in the longitudinal direction of the antenna member 712 straddles the groove portion 585. Thereby, when the seal seal 700 is cut along the groove portion 585, the region where the first slit portion 714 is formed in the antenna member 712 is cut, and normal communication cannot be performed in the IC tag 703.

  As already described, the sticking base 361 has a recess for the seal seal 700. In other words, the surrounding portion 363 is formed on the pasting base 361 so as to partition the pasting region 362. The entire periphery of the seal seal 700 attached to the attachment region 362 is close to the enclosing portion 363. Thereby, even if it is going to peel off the seal seal | sticker 700, the peeling act becomes difficult.

  Since the seal seal 700 is close to the enclosing portion 363, when the seal seal 700 is applied, the seal seal 700 is attached so as not to protrude from the area surrounded by the enclosing portion 363. The positional relationship between 712, the boundaries BL, BR, and the groove portion 585 is as described above.

  Further, the region surrounded by the surrounding portion 363 is slightly wider than the area of the seal seal 700. As a result, when the sealing seal 700 is applied, a predetermined clearance is created at the attaching position, and the workability of the attaching operation is improved. In this case, the clearance of the affixing position is set within a range in which the positional relationship between the antenna member 712, the boundaries BL and BR, and the groove 585 is naturally maintained.

  The seal seal 700 affixed to the affixing region 362 is covered with a seal cover 750 as shown in FIG. Hereinafter, the seal cover 750 will be described with reference to FIG. 25 as appropriate in addition to FIGS. FIG. 25A is a perspective view of the seal cover 750 viewed from the front side, and FIG. 25B is a perspective view of the seal cover 750 viewed from the back side.

<Seal cover 750>
The seal cover 750 is made of a colorless and transparent synthetic resin (specifically, polycarbonate resin), and the visibility of the seal seal 700 through the seal cover 750 is ensured. However, the seal cover 750 is not limited to being colorless and transparent, and the seal cover 750 may be transparent enough to visually confirm the seal seal 700 from the outside of the seal cover 750. That's fine. For example, it can be colored and transparent. In addition, the seal seal 700 cannot be visually confirmed from the outside of the seal cover 750, but the seal cover 750 can also be formed opaque. When such a change is made, the inside of the space surrounded by the seal cover 750 cannot be confirmed from the outside, so that it is difficult for an unauthorized person to take measures against the seal seal 700.

  Further, the seal cover 750 is formed so as to be able to transmit radio waves, and no member that blocks radio waves is provided between the IC tag 703 of the seal seal 700 and the seal cover 750. Therefore, the manager or the like of the game hall can perform the reading operation without removing the seal cover 750 when reading the ID information from the IC tag 703.

  In this case, when reading ID information from the IC tag 703, the game hall manager or the like makes the ID information reading operation easy and reliable by bringing the tip of the reader device into contact with or close to the seal cover 750. be able to. That is, the seal cover 750 functions as a positioning unit for reading ID information.

  Since the IC tag 703 is covered with the seal cover 750 as shown in FIG. 21B, when the manager of the game hall tries to bring the reader device closer to the IC tag 703, the IC tag 703 comes into contact with the seal cover 750. I ca n’t get any closer. In other words, the reading position when the identification information is read by the reader device with respect to the IC tag 703 is prevented from approaching a predetermined distance (distance between the seal cover 750 and the IC tag 703) from the IC tag 703. Is limited to. Accordingly, if it is determined that the reading operation is performed in a state where the tip of the reader device is in contact with or close to the seal cover 750, the antenna member 712 is cut, thereby shortening the communicable distance of the IC tag 703. If this happens, the ID information cannot be read by the reader device. Therefore, it is possible to grasp the fact that the antenna member 712 has been cut, and it is possible to recognize that there has been a possibility that an unauthorized opening operation of the board box 312 has been performed.

  Hereinafter, a specific configuration of the seal cover 750 and its mounting structure will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the seal cover 750 has a substantially box shape that opens to the substrate box 312 side (having an opening 751). Specifically, the seal cover 750 stands up to the sticking base 361 from the distal end side of the sticking base 361 from the distal end side, and the sticking base 361 from the deep wall part 752 rises to the sticking base 361 side. Between a pair of first opposing wall portions 753 facing each other across the thickness direction of the adhesive base 361, and the adhesive bases 361 provided on both first opposing wall portions 753 in the width direction of the adhesive base 361. And a second opposing wall portion 754 opposed to each other, and at least the seal seal 700 (the pasting region 362) is covered with each of the wall portions 752 to 754.

  As illustrated in FIG. 25B, the second opposing wall portion 754 of the seal cover 750 is formed with a protrusion 756 that protrudes to the inside of the seal cover 750 (on the sticking base 361 side). The protrusions 756 extend from the rear wall 752 toward the opening 751, and guide grooves 586 in which the protrusions 756 are fitted are formed on both sides of the back side pasting base part 581 (specifically, the opposing part 582). Is formed. When the protrusion 756 slides in the guide groove 586, the relative displacement direction (detachment direction) of the seal cover 750 with respect to the sticking base 361 is defined. The seal cover 750 is attached to the sticking base 361 by being displaced so that the sticking base 361 is inserted through the opening 751 opening to the substrate box 312 side. Hereinafter, the moving direction is also referred to as a mounting direction for convenience.

<Configuration related to removal restriction of seal cover 750>
Hereinafter, means for restricting removal of the seal cover 750 will be described.

  Of the pair of first opposing wall portions 753 in the seal cover 750, a first opposing wall portion 753 (hereinafter referred to as “front side opposing wall portion 753”) facing the pasting region 362 is provided with a substrate box 312 ( Specifically, a cover side locking portion 761 that is hooked on the front side structure 400) is integrally formed. The cover side locking portion 761 includes an arm portion 762 extending in the mounting direction from the front-side facing wall portion 753 and a claw portion 763 formed at the distal end portion of the arm portion 762. The arm portion 762 has a long plate shape, and is formed such that the plate surface faces the width direction of the sticking base 361 (facing the side wall portion 358 of the recess 356). Thereby, the bending deformation of the arm portion 762 with the portion connected to the front side opposing wall portion 753 as the base end is allowed. When the arm portion 762 is bent and deformed, the claw portion 763 is displaced to a locking position where the claw portion 763 is hooked with respect to the front side structure 400 and a locking release position where the hook is released.

  Here, the cover side latching portion 761 includes a first cover side latching portion 761A and a second cover side latching portion 761B having different latching targets, and these first cover side latching portion 761A and The configuration of the second cover side locking portion 761B is partially different. Therefore, first, the configuration related to the first cover side locking portion 761A will be described, and then the configuration related to the second cover side locking portion 761B will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the first cover side locking portions 761 </ b> A are respectively disposed at both ends in the width direction of the front side opposing wall portion 753, and are formed along the side wall portions 358 of the concave portion 356. The claw portion 763A of the first cover side locking portion 761A is convex toward the side wall portion 358, and the side wall portion 358 is formed with a receiving portion 359 on which the claw portion 763A is hooked.

  An inclined surface having a component facing the mounting direction of the seal cover 750 and a component facing the side wall portion 368 is formed at the tip of the claw portion 763A, and when the seal cover 750 is mounted, the inclined surface is formed. By abutting against the side wall portion 358, the arm portions 762A are bent and deformed (elastically deformed) toward the sides approaching each other. When the claw portion 763A reaches the receiving portion 359 by continuing the mounting operation (push-in operation) of the seal cover 750, the claw portion 763A and the receiving portion 359 are hooked by returning to the state before the deformation. Thereby, the removal of the seal cover 750 is prevented.

  Here, the relationship between the arm portion 762A of the first cover side locking portion 761A and the concave portion 356 will be supplementarily described. The arm portion 762 </ b> A is configured such that its base end portion is located outside the region surrounded by the recess 356. That is, the claw portion 763 </ b> A is housed inside the recess 356, while the arm portion 762 </ b> A partially protrudes from the recess 356.

  A standing wall portion 757 is formed on the front-side facing wall portion 753 so as to rise from the edge of the front-side facing wall portion 753 on the opening 751 side to the side opposite to the pasting base 361. A second cover side locking portion 761B is formed so as to extend toward the bottom portion 357 of 356.

  The second cover side locking portion 761B is disposed between the first cover side locking portions 761A. More specifically, a pedestal 485 for mounting a lid, which will be described later, is formed on the front side facing portion 401 of the front side structure 400 so as to protrude above the bulging portion 583 of the back side pasted base portion 581. The second cover side locking portion 761B is arranged so as to sandwich the pedestal 485 from both sides in the width direction of the sticking base 361.

  The claw portion 763B of the second cover side locking portion 761B protrudes to the pedestal 485 side (that is, the side opposite to the claw portion 763A of the adjacent first cover side locking portion 761A). A receiving portion 486 is formed on which these claw portions 763B are hooked.

  An inclined surface having a component facing the mounting direction of the seal cover 750 and a component facing the pedestal 485 side is formed at the tip of the claw portion 763B, and when the seal cover 750 is mounted, the inclined surface is the pedestal. By abutting against 485, the arm portion 762B is bent and deformed (elastically deformed) toward the side away from each other. When the claw portion 763B reaches the receiving portion 486 by continuing the mounting operation (push-in operation) of the seal cover 750, the arm portion 762B returns to the state before the deformation, so that the claw portion 763B and the receiving portion 486 are connected. Get caught. Thereby, the removal of the seal cover 750 is prevented.

  In the present embodiment, the locking portions between the cover side locking portion 761 and the front side structure 400 are gathered in the recess 356, and a lid 800 that covers these locking points is attached to the substrate box 312. ing. Hereinafter, the lid 800 will be described with reference to FIG. 26 in addition to FIGS. 20 and 21 as appropriate. FIG. 26A is a perspective view of the lid 800 viewed from the front side, and FIG. 26B is a perspective view of the lid 800 viewed from the back.

<Cover 800>
The lid body 800 is formed using a colorless and transparent synthetic resin material, like the seal cover 750, and the visibility through the lid body 800 such as the hooked portion of the seal cover 750 or the seal seal 700 is ensured. .

  As shown in FIG. 20, the lid body 800 has a base portion 801 that faces the front-side pasted base portion 481. The base portion 801 has a long plate shape extending over both side wall portions 358 of the recess portion 356, and a stepped portion 475 that is recessed according to the base portion 801 is formed at the boundary portion between the recess portion 356 and the front side facing portion 401. Yes. By fitting the base 801 to the stepped portion 475, the surface of the base 801 and the surface of the front-side facing portion 401 are positioned on the same plane.

  A vertical wall 802 that stands on the seal cover 750 side is formed on the long side of the base 801 opposite to the bottom 357 of the recess 356. The vertical wall 802 extends so as to straddle both first cover side locking portions 761A, and the vertical wall 802 overlaps the standing wall portion 757 of the seal cover 750 from the front side in the mounting direction of the seal cover 750. So as to make contact (more specifically, contact).

  In a state where the seal cover 750 is attached to the substrate box 312, a space opened between the substrate box 312 and the seal cover 750 on the front side of the substrate box 312 and on the front side in the attachment direction of the seal cover 750. In this space, the locking portion of the seal cover 750 is accommodated. By attaching the lid 800 to the substrate box 312, the space becomes the base 801 and the vertical wall 802 of the lid 800. Covered by. As a result, exposure of the above-mentioned locking portion to the outside of the main control device 301 is suppressed.

  In the state where the lid 800 is mounted, the arm portion 762A of the first cover side locking portion 761 is exposed outside the space except for the tip portion where the claw portion 763A is formed. Thereby, access from outside the main control device 301 is permitted for the arm portion 762A. However, since the deformation of the arm portion 762A toward the unlocking side is suppressed by the vertical wall 802 of the lid 800, the arm portion 762A cannot be bent toward the unlocking side with a finger or the like. Therefore, the deterioration of the crime prevention function due to the exposure of part of the cover side locking portion 761 is suppressed.

  Note that the seal cover 750 in the present embodiment is formed by injection molding. By adopting such a forming method, slits for forming the second cover side locking portion 761B are formed in the standing wall portion 757, but each of the slits overlaps the standing wall portion 757. Therefore, unauthorized access to the catching portion or the like through the slit is preferably avoided.

<Configuration regarding removal regulation of lid 800>
Hereinafter, means for restricting the removal of the lid 800 will be described. First, the pedestal 485 provided with the function of integrating the lid 800 and the seal cover 750 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 20, the pedestal 485 is integrally formed with the front-side structure 400 so as to confront the sticking base 361 (specifically, the extended portion of the bulging portion 583 in the back-side sticking base portion 581). Is formed. More specifically, the pedestal 485 has a main body portion 487 as a fixing target of the lid body 800 and the seal cover 750 and a connecting portion 488 that connects the main body portion 487 to the front side facing portion 401 of the front side structure 400. Do it.

  The main body portion 487 is disposed in a region surrounded by the concave portion 356 so as to be separated from the bottom portion 357 and the side wall portion 358 of the concave portion 356, and is sandwiched from both sides in the thickness direction of the substrate box 312 by the sticking base 361 and the lid body 800. (See FIG. 21 (a)).

  The main body portion 487 is formed with an accommodating portion 487a that accommodates a part of the seal cover 750 (specifically, a protruding portion 771 formed on the standing wall portion 757 of the seal cover 750). The housing portion 487a is open to the lid 800 side and the front side in the mounting direction of the seal cover 750. By attaching the seal cover 750 to the board box 312, the protruding portion 771 is fitted to the housing portion 487a. It has become stuck. A part of the base portion 801 of the lid body 800 is fitted to the housing portion 487a from the mounting direction front side of the lid body 800 so as to overlap the projection portion 771, and the base portion 801 and the main body portion 487 project the projection portion 771. Is pinched. The receiving portion 486 described above is disposed in the main body portion 487.

  The connecting portions 488 are respectively disposed at both end portions in the width direction of the main body portion 487, and have plate-like portions that face each other with the main body portion 487 interposed therebetween and extend in the thickness direction of the substrate box 312. ing. A slit 803 that allows passage of the plate-like portions is formed in the base portion 801 of the lid body 800. By pushing the lid body 800 toward the seal cover side so that the plate-like portion of the connecting portion 488 is inserted into the slit 803, the lid body 800 is disposed at the mounting completion position.

  A plurality of lid-side locking portions 811 are formed on the lid 800 as attachment means for the lid 800. The lid-side locking portion 811 has an arm portion 812 extending from the base portion 801 of the lid body 800 or the like to the mounting method of the lid body 800, and a claw portion 813 formed at the tip portion of the arm portion 812 or the like. Yes. The arm portion 812 has a long plate shape and is allowed to bend and deform. When the arm portion 812 is bent and deformed, the claw portion 813 is displaced to a locking position where the claw portion 813 is hooked with respect to the base 485 and the seal cover 750 and a locking release position where the hook is released.

  Here, the lid-side latching portion 811 includes a first lid-side latching portion 811A to a fourth lid-side latching portion 811D having different latching targets, and these lid-side latching portions 811A to 811D. The structure is partially different. Specifically, the locking target of the first lid side locking portion 811A is the base 485, and the locking targets of the second lid side locking portion 811B to the fourth lid side locking portion 811D are the seal cover 750. Thus, a part of the configuration is different in accordance with the difference of these locking objects.

  Therefore, first, the configuration of the first lid side locking portion 811A will be described, and then the other lid side locking portions 811B to 811D will be described based on differences from the first lid side locking portion 811A.

  As shown in FIG. 26B, the first lid-side locking portion 811A is disposed at a position corresponding to the central portion of the lid 800 (base portion 801), specifically, the accommodating portion 487a of the base 485. A through hole 772 through which the first lid side locking portion 811A is inserted is formed in the protruding portion 771 of the seal cover 750, and a communication hole 489 communicating with the through hole 772 is formed in the main body portion 487 of the base 485. (See FIG. 20 or FIG. 21 (a)).

  The first lid side locking portion 811A is fitted into the communication hole 489 and the through hole 772, and the claw portion 813A of the first lid side locking portion 811A is the lid body 800 with respect to the main body portion 487 of the base 485. The lid body 800 is restricted from being removed by being caught from the front side in the mounting direction.

  The lid 800 is also formed by injection molding in the same manner as the seal cover 750, but a hole for forming the first lid side locking portion 811A is formed on both sides of the base portion 801 with the arm portion 812A interposed therebetween. 804 is formed. These hole portions 804 are in a state in which the columnar portion 773 formed in the protruding portion 771 of the seal cover 750 is inserted and closed by the columnar portion 773.

  Next, the 2nd lid side latching | locking part 811B is demonstrated. As shown in FIG. 26 (b), the second lid side locking portions 811 B are arranged on both sides of the first lid side locking portion 811 A in the width direction of the lid 800.

  The arm portion 812B of the second lid-side locking portion 811B extends from the distal end portion of the vertical wall 802 in the lid body 800. On the other hand, the arm portion 812B is inserted into the front-side facing wall portion 753. An insertion hole 758 is formed (see FIG. 25B). The arm portion 812B is set shorter than the arm portion 812A of the first lid side locking portion 811A, but the vertical wall 802 on which the second lid side locking portion 811B is formed has an arm portion 812B. At the same time, it is possible to switch between the locked state and the unlocked state by bending deformation (elastic deformation).

  The claw portion 813B of the second lid side locking portion 811B reaching the inside of the seal cover 750 through the insertion hole 758 is hooked from the inside of the seal cover 750 to the front side opposing wall portion 753, whereby the lid body 800 is removed. It is regulated by the seal cover 750.

  Note that the hooking direction of the first lid side locking portion 811A and the hooking direction of the second lid side locking portion 811B are reversed, or the substrate box 312 and the seal cover 750 are set as hooking targets. Even if the relative position of the seal cover 750 and the lid 800 is displaced in the attaching / detaching direction of the seal cover 750, or the lid 800 is displaced with the seal cover 750 in the attaching / detaching direction, the both lids described above are used. This is a device for ensuring the fixing function of at least one of the side locking portions 811A and 811B.

  As for the third lid side locking portion 811C, the locking target is set to the seal cover 750 in the same manner as the second lid side locking portion 811B, but the specific locking target is characteristic. ing. Hereinafter, the 3rd lid side latching | locking part 811C is demonstrated.

  As shown in FIG. 21A, the arm portion 812C of the third lid side locking portion 811C has its plate surface facing the width direction of the sticking base 361, that is, the arm of the first cover side locking portion 761A. It is formed so as to face the portion 762A. Thereby, the bending deformation of the arm portion 812C toward the side approaching and away from the arm portion 762A is allowed. When the arm portion 812C is bent and deformed, the claw portion 813C is displaced to a locking position where the arm portion 762A of the first cover side locking portion 761A is hooked and a locking release position where the hook is released. .

  The claw portion 813C is hooked to the arm portion 762A from the front side in the mounting direction of the lid body 800, but the direction in which the arm portion 762A of the first cover side locking portion 761A is easily deformed is the lid body. Since the direction is different from the attaching / detaching direction of 800, even if the lid 800 is pulled in the removing direction, the deformation of the arm portion 762A due to that is suppressed. As a result, since the locking target is the arm portion 762 </ b> A, it is possible to prevent the removal restriction function of the seal cover 750 and the lid 800 from being lowered.

  Particularly, the arm portion 812C of the third lid side locking portion 811C is in contact with the arm portion 762A of the first cover side locking portion 761A from the side opposite to the side wall portion 358 of the recess 356. That is, the first cover side locking portion 761A is sandwiched between the side wall portion 358 and the arm portion 812C of the third lid side locking portion 811C, and the arm portion 812C is bent and deformed. (Transition to the unlocked state) is regulated.

  As for the second lid side latching portion 811B and the third lid side latching portion 811C described in detail above, the subject to be latched is the seal cover 750, and the separation between the lid 800 and the seal cover 750 is restricted. It was the composition to do. On the other hand, the fourth lid side locking portion 811D is similar to the lid side locking portions 811B and 811C in that the locking target is the seal cover 750, but the lid body 800 and the seal cover 750 It is different in that the separation of the lid 800 is restricted with the pedestal 485 sandwiched between them. Hereinafter, the fourth lid side locking portion 811D will be described in detail with reference to FIG.

  The fourth lid-side locking portions 811D are arranged on both sides of the base portion 487 of the pedestal 485, that is, on both sides of the seal cover 750 where the protruding portion 771, the base 485, and the lid 800 overlap. Yes. The arm portion 812D of the fourth lid side locking portion 811D is formed so that the plate surface thereof faces the arm portion 762B of the second cover side locking portion 761B from the side opposite to the main body portion 487 of the base 485. Has been. Thereby, about the arm part 812D, the bending deformation to the side which approaches the arm part 762B and the side which leaves | separates is permitted. When the arm portion 812C is bent and deformed, the claw portion 813D is displaced between a locking position where the claw portion 813D is hooked with respect to the arm portion 762B of the second cover side locking portion 761B and a locking release position where the hook is released. .

  About claw part 813D of 4th lid side latching | locking part 811D, it is hooked from the mounting direction front side of the cover body 800 with respect to the arm part 762B. Here, with respect to the arm portion 762 </ b> B, the receiving portion 486 suppresses the displacement to the side opposite to the mounting direction of the lid 800. For this reason, even if the lid 800 is pulled in the removal direction or the like, the arm portion 762B is bent and the removal restriction by the fourth lid side locking portion 811D is suppressed from being released. . That is, not only the release of the separation restriction between the seal cover 750 and the lid body 800 is suppressed, but also the separation of the base 485, the seal cover 750, and the lid body 800 is restricted.

  Particularly, the arm portion 812D of the fourth lid side locking portion 811D is in contact with the arm portion 762B of the second cover side locking portion 761B, and the second cover side locking portion 761D is bent and deformed by the arm portion 812D. Is hindered. That is, the fourth lid side locking portion 811D (specifically, the arm portion 812D) is located in the operation region of the second cover side locking portion 761B toward the locking release side.

  Each of the lid-side locking portions 811A to 811D described in detail above is arranged in a region surrounded by the substrate box 312, the seal cover 750, and the lid 800, and is connected to each fixed location from the outside of the main controller 301. Access is difficult. This makes it difficult to act to release the removal restriction of the lid 800 by directly operating the lid side locking portions 811A to 811D.

  In the present embodiment, when the fixing by the second fixing means 314B is released and the substrate box 312 is opened, a configuration is used in which the trace remains. Hereinafter, a configuration for leaving traces will be described with reference to FIGS. 20, 21, 25, and 26.

<Configuration to leave traces of opening>
The base 485 and the lid 800 formed on the substrate box 312 (specifically, the front structure 400) are provided with a breaking means for breaking the sealing seal 700. Hereinafter, the destruction means provided on the base 485 will be described first.

  As shown in FIG. 21, a cutting portion 490 is formed in a portion of the main body portion 487 of the base 485 that faces the groove portion 585 of the back-side pasted base portion 581 so as to correspond to the groove portion 585. The cutting part 490 protrudes from the back surface of the main body part 487 toward the groove part 585, and the tip of the cutting part 490 is fitted in a part of the groove part 585 that is out of the pasting region 362. The cutting part 490 is formed to be tapered toward the sticking region 362 side (toward the side opposite to the mounting direction of the seal cover 750), and the cutting part 490 contacts the seal seal 700. In this case, the sealing seal 700 is cut by the cutting portion 490.

  The part of the main body 487 that is on the front side in the removal direction of the seal cover 750 with respect to the cutting part 490 is opposed to the plate surface of the sticking base 361 with a slight gap. In this way, by adopting a configuration in which the main body portion 487 can exist ahead of the portion to be cut in the seal seal 700, the seal seal 700 when cutting the seal seal 700 with respect to the main body portion 487 is arranged. A function to suppress lifting is added.

  The boundaries BL and BR are formed on both sides of the groove 585 described above. At the boundaries BL and BR, the front-side pasting base portion 481 and the back-side pasting base portion 581 are opposed to each other with a gap therebetween, and the groove portions 365 and 366 opened to the lid 800 side by the both pasting base portions 481 and 581. Is formed (see FIG. 20). These groove portions 365 and 366 also extend from the pasting region 362 to the bottom portion 357 of the recess 356 in the same manner as the groove portion 585.

  The claw portion 813D of the fourth lid side locking portion 811D of the lid body 800 is disposed at a position facing the groove portions 365 and 366. The tip of the claw portion 813D is fitted into a portion of the groove portions 365 and 366 that is out of the pasting region 362, and a cutting portion 820 is formed at least at a portion of the groove portion 365 and 366 (see FIG. 21). And FIG. 26 (b)). As shown in FIG. 26B, the cutting part 820 is formed to be tapered toward the sticking region 362 side (toward the side opposite to the mounting direction of the seal cover 750). Is in contact with the seal seal 700, the seal seal 700 is cut by the cutting portion 820.

  More specifically, the cutting portion 820 is inclined obliquely with respect to the removal direction front side of the seal cover 750, and the blade portion faces the groove portions 365, 366. For this reason, when the cutting part 820 is pressed against the seal seal 700, the seal seal 700 is pressed toward the sticking region 362 side. Thereby, the floating of the seal seal 700 from the pasting area 362 is suppressed.

  In this embodiment, the function of destroying (cutting) the seal seal 700 is given to the lid 800 and the base 485 (the part separated from the main body 351 in the substrate box 312). Does not have the destruction function. For this reason, even if the seal cover 750 alone is removed, the seal seal 700 is not broken.

<Sealing work using the second fixing means 314B>
Here, with reference to FIG. 27, the sealing operation using the second fixing means 314B when combining the front structure 400 and the back structure 500 will be described. FIG. 27 is a schematic view for explaining the flow of sealing work using the second fixing means 314B. In the following description, it is assumed that the first fixing means 314A has been sealed, that is, the combination of the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 has been completed. The seal release operation is performed in the order of FIG. 27 (a) → FIG. 27 (b) → FIG. 27 (c) → FIG. 27 (d).

  As shown in FIG. 27 (a), by combining the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500, the front side base body 481 in the front side structure 400 and the back side base part 581 in the back side structure 500 provide a substrate. A sticking base 361 in the box 312 is formed.

  In this manner, after the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are combined, as shown in FIG. 27A → FIG. 27B, the seal seal 700 is pasted on the pasting region 362 of the pasting base 361. As a result, the two structural members 400 and 500 are fixed via the seal seal 700, and the separation of the two structural members 400 and 500 is restricted. That is, the main control board 311 is sealed in the board box 312.

  After affixing the seal seal 700, the seal cover 750 is attached to the substrate box 312 as shown in FIG. 27 (b) → FIG. 27 (c). Specifically, a set of protrusions 756 (see FIG. 25B) formed on the seal cover 750 slide in the guide grooves 586 formed on both sides of the sticking base 361, and The seal cover 750 is slid and pushed into a position where the second opposing wall portion 754 of the seal cover 750 comes into contact with a stopper portion 371 formed between the sticking base 361 and the side wall portion 358, thereby Installation of 750 is completed. At this time, the cover side locking portion 761 of the seal cover 750 is hooked to the receiving portions 359 and 486 of the substrate box 312, so that the seal cover 750 is temporarily fixed to the substrate box 312. In this state, the cover side locking portion 761 remains exposed to the outside of the main control device 301, and the hook is released by bending the cover side locking portion 761 with a finger or the like, and the seal cover 750 is removed. Is allowed.

  As shown in FIG. 27C, after the temporary fixing of the seal cover 750 is completed, the lid 800 is attached to the substrate box 312 as shown in FIG. 27C → FIG. 27D. . At this time, the lid 800 is arranged such that the vertical wall 802 of the lid 800 is along the standing wall 757 of the seal cover 750 and the connecting portion 488 of the base 485 is inserted into the slit 803 of the lid 800. Is slid to place the lid 800 at the mounting completion position. When the lid 800 is disposed at the mounting completion position, the lid-side locking portion 811 is caught by the seal cover 750 and the base 485, and the lid 800 cannot be removed.

  Thus, in the state where mounting of the lid 800 is completed, the lid 800, the seal cover 750, and the substrate box 312 cover the fixing location by the cover side locking portion 761 and the fixing location by the lid side locking portion 811. It will be. As a result, it becomes difficult to remove the lid 800 and the seal cover 750 by directly operating the locking portions 761, 811, and a series of sealing operations of the main control board 311 are completed.

  When the main controller 301 in the sealed state is assembled to the pedestal unit 302 in this way, the second fixing is performed in the fixing means accommodating portion 323b (see FIG. 9) formed in the base body 321. Means 314B are accommodated. This makes it impossible to release the fixing by the second fixing means 314B and to remove the seal cover 750 without removing the main control device 301 from the pedestal unit 302 (base body 321).

  Note that the fixing means accommodating portion 323b may be configured to cover the entire second fixing means 314B in the same manner as the fixing means accommodating portion 323a.

<Release work of sealing by the second fixing means 314B>
Here, with reference to FIG. 28, the flow of work when releasing the seal by the second fixing means 314B will be described. FIG. 28 is an operation explanation diagram showing the flow of the seal release operation using the second fixing means 314B. By performing the operations in the order of FIG. 28 (a) → FIG. 28 (b) → FIG. 28 (c). The main controller 301 is opened. In the following description, it is assumed that the main controller 301 has been removed from the slot machine 10 (specifically, the pedestal unit 302), that is, the first fixing means 314A has already been unsealed and removed from the board box 312. It will be described on the assumption that

  In the case of releasing the seal by the second fixing means 314B, a cutting operation using a tool such as a nipper or a cutter is performed in the same manner as the seal releasing operation by the first fixing means 314A. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 28A → FIG. 28B, the portion protruding from the region covered by the lid 800 of the cover side locking portion 761A of the seal cover 750 is cut, Further, the portion protruding from the region covered with the lid 800 at the connecting portion 488 in the base 485 of the substrate box 312 is cut. By performing each of these cutting operations, the seal cover 750 is separated from the substrate box 312 and the restriction of removing the seal cover 750 from the substrate box 312 is released.

  As described above, when the removal restriction of the seal cover 750 is released, the seal cover 750, the base 485, and the lid 800 remain integrated, and when the seal cover 750 is slid in the removal direction. In this case, the aggregate of these components 750, 485, and 800 is displaced together.

  When the seal cover 750 is displaced in the removal direction, the cutting part 490 of the base 485 is displaced toward the sealing seal 700 in the groove part 585 of the sticking base part 581, and the cutting part 820 of the lid body 800 is attached. The groove portions 365 and 366 of the base portion 581 are displaced toward the seal seal 700. The cut seals 700 are divided along the groove portions 365 and 366 by the cut portions 490 and 820 coming into contact with the seal seal 700. Thereby, the coupling | bonding of both the structures 400 and 500 (specifically front side sticking base part 481 and back side sticking base part 581) using the seal seal | sticker 700 will be cancelled | released.

  When the removal of the seal cover 750 is completed, the sealing of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 by the second fixing means 314B is released, and the substrate box 312 can be opened as shown in FIG. At this time, the sealing seal 700 remains attached to the respective structural bodies 400 and 500 in a cut state, and an opening trace remains in the substrate box 312.

  Particularly in the present embodiment, the antenna member 712 is disposed obliquely with respect to the removal direction of the seal cover 750. For this reason, when removing the seal cover 750, the timing at which the right cutting portion 820 hits the antenna member 712, the timing at which the central cutting portion 490 hits the antenna member 712, and the timing at which the left cutting portion 820 hits the antenna member 712. Is different. Specifically, the antenna member 712 is first cut by the right cutting portion 820, the antenna member 712 is then cut by the central cutting portion 490, and finally the antenna member 712 is cut by the left cutting portion 820. . As a result, the antenna member 712 is cut at a plurality of locations so that the trace remains clearly, and the resistance to the removal work of the seal cover 750 due to this is avoided.

<Basic Electrical Configuration of Slot Machine 10>
Next, the basic electrical configuration of the slot machine 10 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG.

  The MPU 315 that executes main control in the slot machine 10 is mounted on the main control board 311 of the main control device 301. The MPU 315 includes a ROM 951 that stores various control programs executed by the MPU 315 and fixed value data, and a memory for temporarily storing various data when the control program stored in the ROM 951 is executed. And a variety of circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data input / output circuit. Note that the MPU 315 may have a configuration in which a function for performing a logical operation, a function of the ROM 951, and a function of the RAM 952 are provided as separate elements. The same applies to other MPUs described later.

  A power supply device 955 provided in the power supply box 160 is connected to the MPU 315. The power supply device 955 is equipped with a power supply unit that supplies drive power to each device of the slot machine 10 including the main control device 301, a power failure monitoring circuit that monitors the power supply cutoff state, and the like. A DC 5V power supply (operating power) is supplied from the power supply unit. Also, the power failure signal from the power failure monitoring circuit is configured to be input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPU 315. When the power failure signal is input to the NMI terminal, the NMI as a power failure flag generation process Interrupt processing is executed immediately. The power failure signal is also generated when the power switch 161 of the power box 160 is turned off.

  Such a configuration for power failure is also provided for the main control board 311. In other words, the main power supply board 956 including a backup capacitor is mounted on the main control board 311. While operating power is being supplied from the power supply device 955 to the main control board 311, the power interruption unit 956 is charged, and when the slot machine 10 is powered off, the power supply unit 956 is discharged. Operating power is supplied to the RAM 952. Thus, even when the power to the slot machine 10 is shut off, data is stored and held in the RAM 952 while operating power is being supplied from the power supply unit 956 during power interruption to the RAM 952. Note that the power supply unit 956 for power interruption may be mounted on the power supply device 955.

  The MPU 315 is provided with an input / output port. On the input side of the MPU 315, a start detection sensor 961 that detects the operation of the start lever 45, stop detection sensors 962 a, 962 b, 962 c that individually detect the operation of each stop switch 50, 51, 52, and the medal insertion device 30 Inserted medal detection sensor 963 for detecting the received medal, credit insertion detection sensors 964a and 964b for individually detecting the operations of the credit insertion switches 40 and 41, a settlement detection sensor 965 for detecting the operation of the settlement switch 55, and a hopper device 170. A medal detection sensor 966 for detecting medals paid out from the camera, a reset detection sensor 967 for detecting the operation of the reset switch 317, and a setting key detection sensor 968 for detecting that the setting key is inserted into the setting key insertion portion 318 and turned ON. Various sensors such as It has been continued. Signals from these sensors and switches are received by the MPU 315 through input / output ports.

  On the output side of the MPU 315, stepping motors 969a, 969b, and 969c for rotating the reels 555, 556, and 557, a medal path switching solenoid 970 for the selector 31, a drive motor 971 for the hopper device 170, a display control device 265, An external concentration terminal board 972 and the like that can transmit information to a hall management device or the like are connected. A signal output from the MPU 315 through the input / output port is received by a device to which the signal is output.

  According to the first embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  By opening the main control device 301 (board box 312), access to the main control board 311 is permitted, and inspection of the main control board 311 is facilitated. When the substrate box 312 is opened in this way, the trace of opening remains in the substrate box 312 so that the fact that the opening has been performed can be confirmed afterwards. In this way, by adopting a configuration in which the trace remains with opening, it is possible to suppress fraud against the main control device 301 and to easily confirm the fact even if fraud is performed. can do. Thereby, a crime prevention function can be improved suitably.

  When the substrate box 312 is opened, the first fixing means 314A and the second fixing means 314B are destroyed, and re-sealing using the fixing means 314A and 314B becomes impossible. As described above, by making the fixing means 314A and 314B need to be destroyed, the fixing means 314A and 315B can be reused for the purpose of fraud, for example, even though the main controller 301 is opened The act of concealing can be made difficult.

  Especially in the 1st fixing means 314A in the said embodiment, it is set as the structure which covers the front side fixing | fixed part 450 and the back side fixing | fixed part 550 with the cover member 600, and the structure which suppresses exposure of these fixing | fixed parts 450 and 550 outside the main controller 301. It was. Thereby, unauthorized access to the fixed portions 450 and 550 is suppressed.

  The cover member 600 can be detached from the board box 312 (specifically, the main body 351) by releasing the fixing of the structural bodies 400 and 500 by the both fixing portions 450 and 550. For this reason, when removing the cover member 600, the traces at the time of releasing the fixing of the structural bodies 400 and 500 are formed on the respective fixing portions 450 and 550. Therefore, it is difficult to remove the cover member 600 and release the fixing by the two fixing portions 450 and 550. When the cover member 600 is removed, a trace always remains in the board box 312.

  The cover member 600 is configured such that the fixing portion of the cover member 600 with respect to the substrate box 312 is covered by the cover member 600 itself. Thereby, the inconvenience that the removal restriction of the cover member 600 is illegally released is suppressed. That is, it is difficult to remove the cover member 600 while avoiding the above-mentioned traces remaining.

  By attaching the cover member 600 to the board box 312, the above-described removal restriction becomes effective. That is, there is no need for a separate operation for leaving the traces described above. Thereby, the improvement of a crime prevention function is aimed at, and the fall of workability resulting from it is avoided. More specifically, with the cover member 600 mounted, the constituent members 400 and 500 are relatively displaced to the combination completion position, whereby the removal of the cover member 600 is restricted. As described above, the configuration in which the removal of the cover member 600 is restricted by an operation that is indispensable for forming the substrate box 312 suppresses complication of work.

  In order to release the fixing of the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500, the connecting part 630 connecting the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620 constituting the cover member 600 is broken, and both cover parts are 610 and 620 need to be disconnected. Here, when the strength of the connecting portion 630 is reduced in consideration of workability, the cover member 600 is likely to be deformed. This is not preferable because it hinders the shielding function of the cover member 600 from being exhibited. On the other hand, if the connecting portion 630 is strong, the occurrence of the inconvenience can be suppressed, but on the other hand, the above-described destruction operation becomes difficult.

  Therefore, in the above embodiment, the fitting recess 353 that fits into the opening edge 611 of the first cover portion 610 is formed in the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312, and the first cover portion 610 is formed by the fitting recess 353. The displacement is suppressed. Thereby, it is possible to suppress the deformation of the cover member 600 while suppressing the dependency on the strength of the connecting portion 630. Thereby, the strength of the connecting portion 630 is reduced to facilitate the above-described destruction work, and avoiding a decrease in crime prevention due to it.

  In addition, the fitting recessed part 353 and the opening edge part 611 fit, and it can enjoy the effect that it can suppress that unauthorized tools, such as a wire, are inserted from the clearance gap between the board | substrate box 312 and the cover member 600. FIG.

  By moving the first cover part 610 so that the second cover part 620 passes through the first cover part 610, the first cover part 610 can be separated from the substrate box 312. According to such a configuration, the arm portions 451 and 551 constituting the releasing means can be exposed without destroying the first cover portion 610 itself. Thereby, complication of the operation | work at the time of canceling | releasing sealing by 314A of 1st fixing means is suppressed.

  As described above, in the configuration in which the second cover portion 620 can pass through the first cover portion 610, it is advantageous from the viewpoint of improving the crime prevention function to make the gap between the outer shapes of both the cover portions 610 and 620 as small as possible. It is believed that there is. However, when the gap is simply reduced, if the cover portions 610 and 620 are distorted or the like, it is difficult to remove the first cover portion 610. Therefore, in the present embodiment, the first cover portion 610 is formed in a cylindrical shape surrounding the arm portions 451 and 551. Thereby, it is possible to secure the strength of the first cover portion 610 while suitably improving the shielding function of the first cover portion 610 and the arm portions 451 and 551. As a result, the above-described gap can be made as small as possible, and deterioration in workability due to the gap can be suppressed.

  The boundary between the area defined by the first cover part 610 and the area defined by the second cover part 620 is substantially blocked by the cover part 471 and the back side fixed base part 561 formed on the front side fixing part 450. It is in a peeled state. Accordingly, access to the fixed portions 450 and 550 through the gap between the cover portions 610 and 620 is suppressed.

  In the above embodiment, in particular, the end surface on the communication port 602 side of the second cover portion 620 is formed so as to face the region surrounded by the first cover portion 610, and is opposed to this end surface. The cover portion 471 is formed. Thereby, for example, the gap generated between the second cover portion and the shielding means is preferably made smaller than in the case where the shielding means for closing the opening of the second cover portion is provided inside the second cover portion. Can do.

  In addition, by injecting the cured resin into the region surrounded by the second cover portion 620, access to a fixed location or the like can be more suitably suppressed. The cover portion 471 is also effective in preventing the same cured resin from flowing into the region surrounded by the first cover portion 610.

  When the cover member 600 is mounted, the cover member 600 is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500 before the combination of the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 is completed. Then, by displacing these structural bodies 400 and 500 to the combination completion position, the cover member 600 is shifted to a state where removal is restricted. By adopting such a configuration, the following effects can be expected.

  For example, if it is attempted to adopt a configuration that shifts to the removal restricted state with the arrangement of the cover member, it is assumed that a hook or the like that can be elastically deformed between the restricted state and the released state is likely to be adopted as the restricting means. However, if it is attempted to shift to the restricted state using such a hook or the like, it is difficult to achieve both improvement in workability when attaching the cover member and improvement in strength required for restriction removal of the cover member. Become. Also, assuming that such a lack of strength is compensated by employing other fixing means such as screws, it is assumed that the structure for fixing the cover member becomes complicated or the fixing work of the cover member becomes complicated. Is done.

  In this regard, if the configuration shown in the present embodiment is adopted, it is possible to shift to a regulated state without relying on such elastic deformation, so that it is preferable to improve workability and improve the strength of the regulating means Can be compatible. In particular, by improving the strength of the removal regulation, it is possible to make it difficult to act illegally such as forcibly pulling the cover member to release the regulation state, thereby contributing to the improvement of the crime prevention function.

  Moreover, since the structure which becomes a restriction | limiting state using the displacement of the relative position of the structure bodies 400 and 500 when combining both structure bodies 400 and 500 is employ | adopted, for removing removal of the cover member 600 A separate operation is unnecessary, and it is possible to make it difficult to cause inconveniences such as workability being lowered due to the strengthening of the crime prevention function.

  First, by attaching the cover member 600 to the back-side structure 500, dropping of the cover member 600 from the back-side structure 500 is restricted. Thereafter, by combining the front-side structure 400 with the back-side structure 500, the displacement of the cover-side engaging portion 622 is restricted, and the cover member 600 cannot be removed without separating the two structures 400, 500. It becomes. If such a configuration is adopted, the cover member 600 is temporarily attached to the backside structure 500 in the middle of the work, so that, for example, the combination work of the two structures 400 and 500 is performed while holding the cover member 600 by hand. It is not necessary to perform this, and even if a configuration in which the cover member 600 is attached before the combination of the structural bodies 400 and 500 is completed, it is possible to suppress a decrease in workability due to this.

  Further, the cover member 600 can be held at a desired position, and when the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are combined, the front-side structural body 400 and the cover member 600 interfere with each other, and the combination work is hindered. Such inconvenience can be made difficult to occur.

  In the configuration in which the removal of the cover member 600 is restricted by the combination operation (sliding operation) of the front side structure 400 with respect to the back side structure 500, the cover member 600 is mounted from the opposite side to the combination direction of the front side structure 400. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to preferably avoid interference between the cover member 600 and the fixing portions 450 and 550 at the time of combination, and the fixing portion can be suitably covered by the cover member 600.

  However, in such a configuration, when the front side structure 400 is combined, the front side structure and the cover member 600 interfere with each other, and the inconvenience may occur that the cover member 600 is removed from the mounting completion position. This is not preferable because it causes a decrease in workability.

  In this respect, by suppressing the displacement of the cover member 600 in the combination direction of the front-side structure 400 (for example, the direction of removing the cover member 600) by the end surface 572 of the back-side structure 500 (specifically, the insertion portion 571), Generation | occurrence | production can be suppressed and a preferable structure can be implement | achieved practically.

  At least a part of the front side fixing portion 450 enters the cover member 600 in a state where the cover member 600 is attached to the back side structure 500. Thereby, when sliding the front side structure 400, it can suppress that the front side fixing | fixed part 450 interferes with the insertion port 601 of the cover member 600, and the sliding operation of the front side structure 400 is prevented. . Thereby, even if it employ | adopts the structure which mounts the cover member 600 before the combination of both the structures 400 and 500 is completed, it can suppress that the workability fall resulting from it arises.

  After the combination of the two structural members 400 and 500 is completed, the two fixed portions 450 and 550 are sandwiched by the first opposing wall portion 753 of the cover member 600, and the same in the juxtaposed direction of the fixed portions 450 and 550. The relative displacement of the fixing parts 450 and 550 is restricted. Therefore, even if it is attempted to release the catches of the projections 465 and 565 simply by pushing and pulling the constituent members 400 and 500 in the separation direction, the operation force is unlikely to act as a force for catching the projections 465 and 565 and pulling them away in the release direction. Further, the same displacement is suppressed by the cover member 600 (specifically, the first opposing wall portion 753).

  On the other hand, when both case components are combined, at least one of the fixing portions 450 and 550 pushes the first opposing wall portion 753 of the cover member 600 outward along the inclined surfaces 467 and 567 of the protrusions 465 and 565. Will be induced. For this reason, the deformation of the cover member 600 can be induced by an operating force when the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are combined. That is, the shift to the removal restriction state of the cover member 600 can be completed without requiring a separate operation to move the first opposing wall portions 753 of the cover member 600 away from each other. Therefore, even if it is a case where the said crime prevention structure is employ | adopted, it can suppress that the combination operation | work of the structures 400 and 500 resulting from it becomes complicated.

  When the substrate box 312 is opened, in the configuration in which the opening trace remains (the configuration having the seal seal 700), the subsequent opening fact can be grasped by checking the opening trace visually. . Thereby, for example, when an illegal act is performed on the main control device 301 (the main control board 311 and the board box 312), the fact can be grasped. However, in such a configuration having the trace means, if traces remain as if they were opened even though the board box 312 is not opened, the main control board 311 can be detected when it is found. It becomes difficult to determine that inspection or the like is unnecessary, and wasteful confirmation work may occur. In particular, when such an event is repeated, it may be difficult to reduce the reliability of the trace means and to effectively exhibit the crime prevention function.

  In this regard, in the present embodiment, after covering the seal seal 700 with the seal cover 750, the cover body 800 as a breaking means for the seal seal 700 is attached, whereby the seal cover 750 and the cover body 800 are removed. Adopted a configuration that is regulated. Thereby, for example, when a configuration in which a configuration corresponding to the destruction means is integrated with the seal cover 750 is installed, or when a configuration in which the destruction means is installed before the seal cover 750 is installed, an operation error or the like is reduced. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to cause inconvenience that an opening trace remains. Thereby, the reliability of the crime prevention function using the seal seal 700 can be improved suitably, and it can contribute to the improvement of crime prevention.

  In the configuration in which the destruction means is attached after the seal cover 750 is attached, it becomes difficult to suppress the exposure of the destruction portion. For this reason, compared with the structure etc. which incorporate the structure equivalent to a destruction part in the seal cover 750, the unauthorized access with respect to a destruction part may become easy. In this regard, as shown in the present embodiment, a cutting portion 820 corresponding to a breaking portion is accommodated in a region surrounded by the lid 800 and the seal cover 750, and the lid 800 and the seal cover 750 are separated. By adopting a configuration in which the regulating means is accommodated in the region covered by the lid body 800 and the seal cover 750, it is possible to suitably suppress the occurrence of the inconvenience caused by adopting a configuration in which the destruction portion is retrofitted. The crime prevention function can be suitably exhibited.

  When the seal cover 750 is removed, the cutting portions 490 and 820 are displaced following the seal cover 750. Thereby, the trace can be left by removing the seal cover 750. Separation between the seal cover 750 and the cutting portions 490 and 820 remains restricted until at least the seal cover 750 is removed from the substrate box 312, so that the inconvenience that the seal cover 750 is removed without leaving any traces hardly occurs. It has become.

  The seal seal 700 is disposed at a position on the track through which the cutting portion 820 passes when the lid 800 is attached and at a position off the extension of the track. Thereby, when the lid 800 is attached, it is possible to suitably avoid the sealing seal 700 being erroneously broken by the cutting portion 820.

  By removing the seal cover 750, the seal seal 700 can be divided into a part on the front side structure 400 side and a part on the back side structure 500 side with the boundaries BL and BR (grooves) as a boundary. Thereby, the coupling | bonding of both the structures 400 and 500 by the sealing seal | sticker 700 is cancelled | released, and the subsequent opening operation | work of the board | substrate box 312 can be advanced smoothly.

  In the configuration in which the seal seal 700 is employed as the trace portion, when the cutting portions 490 and 820 are displaced along the groove portions 365, 366, and 585, there may be a disadvantage that the seal seal 700 is lifted from the sticking base 361. This is not preferable because it can be a factor that makes it difficult to break the seal seal 700.

  Therefore, the front facing wall 753 of the seal cover 750 is opposed to the seal seal 700 at a position ahead of the cutting portions 490 and 820 in the removal direction of the seal cover 750, and at least the cutting is performed at the seal seal 700 from now on. By restricting the seal seal 750 from being lifted by the seal cover 750 at a portion that is likely to be formed, it is possible to make it difficult to cause inconvenience that the above-described destruction function does not work well and it is difficult to remove the seal cover 750.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the bottom surface of the main body 487 in the pedestal 485 (specifically, the front side in the removal direction of the seal cover 750 relative to the cutting part 490) is from the front facing wall 753 of the seal cover 750. Furthermore, the seal seal 700 is located at a position closer to the seal seal 700, and the lifting of the seal seal 700 as described above is also restricted by the main body portion 487. Therefore, the cutting function of the seal seal 700 described above can be suitably exhibited.

  Cutting edges of the cutting parts 490 and 820 are formed so as to incline toward the bottom side of the groove part in the mounting direction of the seal cover 750 and straddle the open part of the groove part inward and outward. For this reason, when the seal seal 700 and the cutting edges of the cutting portions 490 and 820 come into contact with the removal of the seal cover 750, the seal seal 700 is pressed toward the installation surface by the cutting portions 490 and 820. Thereby, the lift of the seal seal 700 from the installation surface can be suppressed, and the destruction function can be suitably exhibited.

<Second Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, various crime prevention structures that suppress fraud against the main control device 301 have been adopted. However, in the present embodiment, part of the configuration related to the crime prevention structure (specifically, the above-described crime prevention structure) The configuration relating to the first fixing means 314A is different from that of the first embodiment.

  Therefore, the different configuration will be described below with reference to FIGS. 30 is a partial cross-sectional view showing the structure of the first fixing means 314AX, FIGS. 31 and 32 are exploded perspective views showing the first fixing means 314AX disassembled for each main structure, and FIG. 33 (a) is a cover member 600X. FIG. 33B is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the cover member 600X. In the following description, the description of the configuration related to the same reference numeral as that of the first embodiment is simplified or omitted by using the description, and the difference from the first embodiment is mainly described. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 31, the front end portion of the back side fixed base portion 561X constituting the back side fixing portion 550X, more specifically, the front end side of the through hole 563X into which the cover side engaging portion 622X of the cover member 600X is inserted. An insertion portion 571X is formed in the portion. In the first embodiment, the insertion portion 571X has a groove shape opened to the opposite side to the front-side fixing portion 450. However, in the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. It has a groove shape opened to the 450X side. On both sides of the groove-like portion, a back side engaging portion 577X that engages with the cover side engaging portion 622X of the cover member 600X is formed.

  The back side engaging portion 577X has a claw portion 578X that is convex in the mounting direction of the cover member 600X, and the claw portion 578X comes into contact with the cover side engaging portion 622X from the opening 621X side, thereby Switching to the non-engagement state of the side engagement part 622X is prevented.

  That is, in the first embodiment, the cover-side engagement portion 622 is inserted by inserting the front-side arm portion 451 of the front-side structure 400 into the cover-side engagement portion 622 (specifically, the insertion hole 626). In this embodiment, in addition to the same configuration, the back side engagement portion 577X provided on the back side structure 500X is caught by the cover side engagement portion 622X. Thus, a configuration in which the switching of the cover side engaging portion 622X is prevented is also used. This makes it more difficult to forcibly displace the cover side engaging portion 622X by pulling it from the outside of the cover member 600X.

  As shown in FIG. 30, a pair of projecting portions 625X and 628X projecting inward of the cover member 600 are formed on the plate-like portion 623X of the cover member 600X (cover side engaging portion 622X). The protrusions 625X and 628X face each other with the back side engaging portion 577X sandwiched from both sides in the mounting direction of the cover member 600. More specifically, the first projecting portion 625X is closer to the front side in the mounting direction of the cover member 600X than the back side engaging portion 577X, and the second projecting portion 628X is closer to the front side in the mounting direction than the back side engaging portion 577X. They are spaced apart from each other. The first protrusion 625X has the same configuration as the protrusion 625 in the first embodiment, and a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

  A claw portion 629X that protrudes toward the back side engaging portion 577X is formed at the tip of the second protruding portion 628X. The claw portion 629X abuts against the claw portion 578X of the back side engagement portion 577X from the side opposite to the opening portion 621X, thereby preventing the cover side engagement portion 622 from being displaced toward the engagement release side.

  The second protrusions 628X are disposed on both sides of the front side arm portion 451X of the front side fixing portion 450X, that is, on both sides of the insertion hole 626X of the first protrusion 625X (see FIG. 33). The arm portion 451X is sandwiched between the second projecting portions 628X. By these second projecting portions 628X, the bending deformation of the front arm portion 451X in the width direction of the main controller 301X is suppressed. By making it possible to disperse the load generated in the front arm portion 451X to the second projecting portion 628X, the function of regulating the separation between the front structure 400X and the cover member 600X is suitably secured.

  In the front side fixed base portion 461X of the front side structure 400X, slits 477X are formed in one-to-one correspondence with the second protrusions 628X. The slits 477X are arranged on both sides of the front arm portion 451X and open to the side opposite to the mounting direction of the cover member 600X, and the second projecting portion 628X is inserted into the slit 477X through this open portion. It is inserted.

  An operation part 478X is formed in the inner part of the slit 477X so as to contact the second protrusion 628X. The operation portion 478X is disposed on the front side in the mounting direction of the cover member 600X with respect to the second projecting portion 628X, and displacement of the cover side engaging portion 622X in the mounting direction is blocked by the operation portion 478X. . Thereby, the position shift and position variation of the cover side engaging part 622X and the back side engaging part 577X in the same mounting direction are suppressed, and the hooking cost of both the claw parts 578X and 529X is secured.

  The front-side fixing portion 450X and the back-side fixing portion 550X are restricted in relative displacement in the separation direction by the front-side protrusion 465X and the back-side protrusion 565X being hooked. Thereby, the change of the positional relationship of the back side engaging part 577X and the operation part 478X is suppressed. In such a state, the second projecting portion 628X of the cover side engaging portion 622X is formed from both sides in the mounting direction by the back side engaging portion 577X (specifically, the claw portion 578X) and the front side fixed base portion 461X (specifically, the operating portion 478X). It is in a sandwiched state. Thereby, it is suppressed that the 2nd protrusion part 628X bends etc. and detach | leaves from the clearance gap between these nail | claw part 578X and the operation part 478X.

<Sealing work using the first fixing means 314AX>
Here, with reference to FIG. 34, the transition operation | work to the sealing state using 1st fixing means 314AX is demonstrated. FIG. 34 is an operation explanatory view showing the movement of the first fixing means 314AX. FIG. 34 (a) → FIG. 34 () based on the mounting operation of the cover member 600X and the combination operation (sliding operation) of the two components 400X and 500X. b) It operates in the order of FIG. 34 (c). In addition, since it is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment about initial operation | work when combining the front side structure 400X and the back side structure 500X, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 34 (a) → FIG. 34 (b), when the cover member 600X is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500X, the cover member 600X is fixed to the fixing portion through the insertion port 601X of the cover member 600X. 450X and 550X are pushed in so as to be accommodated in the cover member 600X. In accordance with such pushing operation, first, the cover side engaging portion 622X (specifically, plate-like portion 623X) of the cover member 600X is moved from the front side in the insertion direction to the distal end portion (specifically, the back side engaging portion 577X) of the back side fixed base portion 561X. ), The cover side engaging portion 622X is pushed to the side away from the back side fixing portion 550X through the opening 621X by further pushing operation. Accordingly, the connecting portion 624X is bent and deformed (elastically deformed), and the cover side engaging portion 622X is displaced to the outside of the cover member 600X through the opening 621X. As a result, the cover side engaging portion 622X moves so as to bypass the back side engaging portion 577X.

  Thereafter, when the cover member 600X reaches the mounting completion position with respect to the back-side structure 500X (back-side fixing portion 550X), that is, the opening edge 611X of the cover member 600X is the first back-side peripheral wall portion 525X (specifically fitted) When it reaches a position where it comes into contact with the bottom of the concave portion 353X, the second protruding portion 628X reaches the through hole 563X of the back side fixed base portion 561X, and the connecting portion 624X returns to the state before deformation by the elastic force stored in itself. Thus, the second protrusion 628X is fitted into the through hole 563X (see FIG. 34B).

  When the cover member 600X is attached to the back side structure 500X in this manner, the opening edge 611X and the like of the cover member 600X come into contact with the first back side peripheral wall 525X of the back side structure 500X as described above. The above pushing operation becomes impossible, and furthermore, when the back side engaging portion 577X is located on the path through which the cover side engaging portion 622X passes when the cover member 600X is removed, it is possible to perform the same operation in the direction opposite to the mounting direction. The displacement of the cover member 600X is restricted. As a result, the cover member 600X is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500X.

  However, in such a state, the cover side engaging portion 622X and the back side engaging portion 577X are not completely engaged, but the cover side engaging portion 622X (specifically, the second projecting portion in the through hole 563X). 628X) displacement is allowed. Therefore, the cover side engaging portion 622X can be pulled out from the through hole 563X with a finger or the like, and the temporary fixing of the cover member 600X can be released by performing the same operation.

  After the temporary fixing of the cover member 600X is completed, the front side structure 400X is slid toward the combination completion position with the back side structure 500X as shown in FIG. 34 (b) → FIG. 34 (c).

  At this time, first, the protruding portion 628X of the cover member 600X is fitted into the slit 477X of the front-side fixed base portion 461X, and the front-side fixed base portion 461X and the cover-side engaging portion 622X of the cover member 600X in the width direction of the main controller 301X. The relative displacement with is restricted. Further, due to the further displacement of the front structure 400X, the operation portion 478X of the slit 477X comes into contact with the protruding portion 628X from the side opposite to the mounting direction of the cover member 600X. Thereafter, when the front side structure 400X is further slid toward the mounting completion position, the projecting portion 628X is pushed to the side opposite to the mounting direction of the cover member 600X, and the cover member 600X follows the displacement of the front side structure 400X. To be displaced.

  When the slide operation of the front side structure 400X is continued, first, the front end portion (claw portion 452X) of the front side arm portion 451X is inserted into the insertion hole 626X of the cover member 600X (specifically, the protruding portion 625X). Thereafter, the claw portion 452X of the front arm portion 451X comes into contact with the insertion hole 626X of the protruding portion 625X from the opening portion 621X side, and the separation between the cover member 600X and the front side structure 400X is restricted, and accordingly, The front-side protrusion 465X and the back-side protrusion 565X are hooked and the relative displacement of the two structural bodies 400X and 500X toward the separation side is restricted (see FIG. 34C).

  In this way, when the front-side structure 400X reaches the combination completion position, the back-side engagement portion 577X pushed by the operation portion 478X becomes the claw portion 578X of the back-side engagement portion 577X of the cover-side engagement portion 622X. It reaches a position where it is hooked with respect to the claw portion 629X, and the claw portions 578X and 629X are prevented from being hooked and released by the front side structure 400X (specifically, the front side fixed base portion 461X). In other words, the cover-side engaging portion 622X is sandwiched between the back-side engaging portion 577X of the back-side fixed base portion 561X and the operation portion 478X of the front-side fixing base portion 461X, so that the displacement toward the side where the engagement allowance is reduced is prevented. It becomes a state.

  In this way, the relative displacement of the constituent members 400X and 500X toward the separation side is restricted and the removal of the cover member 600X is restricted, so that the front-side constituent member 400X, the back-side constituent member 500X, and the cover member 600X are integrated. The main control board 311X is sealed in the board box 312X.

  Thereafter, the cured resin is injected into the region surrounded by the second cover part 620X through the opening 621X of the cover member 600X, so that the gap between the second cover part 620X and the fixing parts 550X and 650X is made of the cured resin. Buried. This cured resin is cured by irradiating with ultraviolet rays, and the above-mentioned displacement of the movable part is hindered by the cured resin. The region surrounded by the second cover portion 620X and the region surrounded by the first cover portion 610X are partitioned by the cover portion 471X and the like, and the cured resin injected from the opening 621X is the first. The flow into the area surrounded by the one cover portion 610X is avoided.

  Thus, by covering the main movable part of the first fixing means 314AX with the cured resin, it is difficult to perform an unauthorized fixing release operation from the outside of the cover member 600X, and the crime prevention function is improved.

  The seal releasing operation of the first fixing means 314AX is the same as that in the first embodiment. That is, first, the connecting portion 630X of the cover member 600X is broken to remove the first cover portion 610X, and then the front side arm portion 451X and the back side arm portion 551X are all broken (cut) to obtain the front side fixed base portion 461. The back side fixed base portion 561X and the second cover portion 620X are separated from the main body portion 351X of the board box 312X, and the seal of the main controller 301X is released.

  According to the second embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  In realizing the hooking of the claw part 578X of the back side engaging part 577X and the claw part 629X of the cover side engaging part 622X, the cover side engaging part 622X is locked by the operating part 478X of the front side structure 400X. ), The bending deformation (elastic deformation) of both the engaging portions 577X and 622X is not necessary when shifting to the hooked state. Thus, since it can transfer to a hooked state without depending on deformation | transformation of the engaging parts 577X and 622X, the intensity | strength of the engaging parts 577X and 622X can be improved suitably. Thereby, for example, even when the cover side engaging portion 622X is forcibly pulled through the opening 621X, the inconvenience that the engaging portions 577X and 622X are deformed and the catch is released is less likely to occur. it can.

  Further, in the state where the combination of the two structural bodies 400X and 500X is completed, the operation portion 478X of the front side fixed base portion 461X comes into contact with the second projecting portion 628X from the side opposite to the back side engaging portion 577X. Thereby, it can suppress that the 2nd protrusion part 628X displaces to the side by which the hook margin with respect to the back side engaging part 577X becomes small. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult for the engagement portions 577X and 622X to be disengaged.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which both the front-side fixed base portion 461X and the back-side fixed base portion 561X abut against the cover-side engaging portion 622X from the opening 621X side of the cover member 600X. The lift of the cover side engaging portion 622 is suppressed by the portions 461X and 561X. As a result, even if the cover side engaging portion 622X is pulled, the load can be suitably distributed, and the deformation of the front arm portion 451X can be suppressed. Since the front arm 451X is a part that is destroyed when the main controller 301X is opened, it is not preferable to set its strength high. As described above, by reducing the load applied to the front arm portion 451X, the strength of the front arm portion 451X can be suppressed. Therefore, it can be said that a preferable configuration can be realized from the viewpoint of improving workability.

<Third Embodiment>
In the first embodiment, various crime prevention structures that suppress fraud against the main control device 301 have been adopted. However, in the present embodiment, part of the configuration related to the crime prevention structure (specifically, the above-described crime prevention structure) The configuration related to the first fixing means 314A) is different from the first embodiment. Therefore, first, the different configuration will be described with reference to FIGS. FIG. 35 is a partial sectional view showing the structure of the first fixing means 314AY, FIGS. 36 and 37 are exploded perspective views showing the first fixing means 314AY disassembled for each main part, and FIG. 38 (a) shows the cover member 600Y. FIG. 38B is a perspective view showing the internal structure of the cover member 600Y. In the following description, the description of the configuration related to the same reference numeral as that of the first embodiment is cited, the description related to the configuration is simplified or omitted, and the difference from the first embodiment is mainly used. Explained.

  Main controller 301Y in the present embodiment has substantially the same configuration as that of main controller 301 in the first embodiment, and as shown in FIGS. 35 to 37, the front side of each component 400Y, 500Y. A part of the configuration of the fixing part 450Y and the back side fixing part 550Y is different from the front side fixing part 450 and the back side fixing part 550 in the first embodiment.

  As shown in FIG. 35, the front end portion of the back side fixing base portion 561Y constituting the back side fixing portion 550Y, more specifically, the front end side of the through hole 563Y into which the cover side engaging portion 622Y of the cover member 600Y is inserted. A back side engaging portion 577Y is formed.

  The back side engaging portion 577Y has a groove shape opened to the opposite side to the front side fixed base portion 461, and the appearance thereof is similar to the insertion portion 571 in the first embodiment. . However, in contrast to the insertion portion 571 allowing insertion of the front arm portion 451, in this embodiment, not the front arm portion 451 but a part of the cover side engagement portion 622Y is the groove. It is configured to be inserted into the shaped part. In addition, about the front side arm part 451Y in this Embodiment, the function which prevents the displacement of the cover side engaging part 622Y is not provided.

  In the first embodiment, when the cover member 600 is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500Y, the cover side engagement portion 622 is provided with a triangular rib 627 as a means for operating the cover side engagement portion 622. Was forming. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, a guide inclined surface 579Y as a means for operating the cover side engaging portion 622Y is formed in the front end region including the back side engaging portion 577Y in the back side fixed base portion 561Y. .

  When the cover member 600Y is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500Y, the cover member 600Y is pushed in the mounting direction while the cover side engaging portion 622Y is in contact with the guide inclined surface 579Y. The cover side engaging portion 622Y is displaced toward the opening 621Y side along the guide inclined surface 579Y. Thereby, the cover side engaging part 622Y bypasses the back side engaging part 577Y of the back side fixed base part 561Y and reaches the through hole 563Y.

  As shown in FIG. 35, the back-side engagement portion 577Y is located at the front side in the mounting direction with respect to the protrusion 625Y of the cover-side engagement portion 622Y, and the end surface 572Y of the back-side engagement portion 577Y is It abuts against the protrusion 625Y. A front end portion of the back side fixed base portion 561Y is located on the opposite side of the end surface 580Y across the protrusion portion 625Y, and the protrusion portion 625Y is in contact with the receiving portion 479Y formed at the front end portion. That is, the projecting portion 625Y is sandwiched between the end surface 572Y and the receiving portion 479Y, and the both fixing portions 450Y and 550Y are in the same direction as the mounting direction of the cover member 600Y and in the direction opposite to the mounting direction. The displacement of the cover side engaging portion 622Y is prevented.

  A first bent portion 641Y that protrudes in a direction opposite to the mounting direction of the cover member 600Y and a first bent portion 641Y opposite to the first bent portion 641Y (the same direction as the mounting direction) A convex second bent portion 642Y is formed. The first bent portion 641Y is in contact with the back side engaging portion 577Y (specifically, the stopper portion 573Y) of the back side fixed base portion 561Y from the side opposite to the opening portion 621Y. Displacement of 622Y toward the opening 621Y is prevented.

  The front-side fixed base portion 461Y is formed such that the tip portion thereof comes into contact with the second bent portion 642Y from the opening portion 621Y side, and the opening of the cover-side engaging portion 622Y is formed by the front-side fixed base portion 461Y. Displacement toward the portion 621Y is prevented. That is, in the present embodiment, both the fixed base portions 461Y and 561Y are located on the movement path of the cover side engaging portion 622Y, and the disengagement is restricted by the both fixed base portions 461Y and 561Y. Yes.

<Sealing work using the first fixing means 314AY>
Here, with reference to FIG. 39, the transition operation | work to the sealing state using 1st fixing means 314AY is demonstrated. FIG. 39 is an operation explanatory view showing the movement of the first fixing means 314AY. FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. 39 () based on the mounting operation of the cover member 600Y and the combination operation (sliding operation) of the two components 400Y and 500Y. b) It operates in the order of FIG. 39 (c). In addition, since it is the same as that of the said 1st Embodiment about initial operation | work when combining the front side structure 400Y and the back side structure 500Y, description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 39 (a) → FIG. 39 (b), when the cover member 600Y is temporarily fixed to the back side structure 500Y, the cover member 600Y is fixed to the fixing portion through the insertion port 601Y of the cover member 600Y. 450Y and 550Y are pushed in so as to be accommodated in the cover member 600Y. In accordance with such a pushing operation, first, the cover side engaging portion 622Y (specifically, plate-like portion 623Y) of the cover member 600Y is moved from the front side in the insertion direction to the distal end portion (specifically, the guide inclined surface 579Y) of the back side fixed base portion 561Y. In this case, the cover side engaging portion 622Y is pushed to the side away from the back side fixing portion 550Y through the opening 621Y by further pushing operation. Thereby, the connecting portion 624Y is bent and deformed (elastically deformed), and the cover side engaging portion 622Y is displaced to the outside of the cover member 600Y through the opening portion 621Y. As a result, the cover side engaging portion 622Y moves so as to bypass the back side engaging portion 577Y.

  Thereafter, when the cover member 600Y reaches the mounting completion position with respect to the back-side structure 500Y (back-side fixing portion 550Y), that is, the opening edge 611Y of the cover member 600Y is the first back-side peripheral wall 525Y (specifically fitted) When it reaches a position where it abuts against the bottom of the concave portion 353Y, the protruding portion 625Y of the cover side engaging portion 622Y reaches the through hole 563Y of the back side fixed base portion 561Y, and the connecting portion 624Y is deformed by the elastic force stored in itself. By returning to this state, the protrusion 625Y fits into the through hole 563X (see FIG. 39B).

  In the state where the cover member 600Y is attached to the back side structure 500Y in this way, as described above, the opening edge 611Y of the cover member 600Y contacts the first back side peripheral wall 525Y of the back side structure 500Y. The above pushing operation becomes impossible, and the back side engaging portion 577Y is positioned on the path through which the cover side engaging portion 622Y passes when the cover member 600Y is removed. The displacement of the cover member 600Y is restricted. As a result, the cover member 600Y is temporarily fixed to the back-side structure 500Y.

  However, in such a state, the cover side engaging portion 622Y and the back side engaging portion 577Y are not completely engaged, and the cover side engaging portion 622Y (more specifically, the protruding portion 625Y) in the through hole 563Y. Displacement of is allowed. Therefore, the cover side engaging portion 622Y can be pulled out from the through hole 563Y with a finger or the like, and the temporary fixing of the cover member 600Y can be released by performing the same operation.

  After the temporary fixing of the cover member 600Y is completed, the front side structure 400Y is slid toward the combination completion position with the back side structure 500Y as shown in FIG. 39 (b) → FIG. 39 (c).

  Due to the displacement of the front side structure 400Y, the front end portion (receiving portion 479Y) of the front side fixed base portion 461Y fits into a region sandwiched between the plate-like portion 623Y and the second bent portion 642Y of the cover side engaging portion 622Y. Based on the further displacement, the protrusion 625Y reaches a position where it abuts from the side opposite to the mounting direction of the cover member 600Y. Thereby, the cover member 600Y is also displaced following the displacement of the front side structure 400Y thereafter.

  Thereafter, when the sliding operation of the front side structure 400Y is continued, the first bent portion 641Y reaches a position where it comes into contact with the stopper portion 573Y of the back side engaging portion 577Y from the side opposite to the opening portion 621Y. As a result, the displacement of the cover side engaging portion 622Y toward the opening 621Y is prevented by both the fixing portions 450 and 550.

  When the front-side structure 400Y reaches the combination completion position with respect to the back-side structure 500Y, the plate-like portion 623Y is sandwiched between the back-side engagement portion 577Y and the front-side fixed base portion 461Y, and accordingly, the front-side protrusion 465X and the back side The protrusion 565X is hooked and the relative displacement of the two constituent bodies 400X and 500X toward the separation side is restricted (see FIG. 39C).

  Thereby, the displacement of the cover side engaging portion 622Y in the same direction as the mounting direction of the cover member 600Y and the direction opposite to the mounting direction is restricted, and both the bent portions 641Y and 642Y, the stopper portion 573Y, and the receiving portion 479Y Will be secured.

  Here, since the receiving portion 479Y does not have a concave shape formed in accordance with the outer shape of the plate-like portion 623Y, the plate-like portion 623Y fitted to the receiving portion 479Y is in the width direction of the main controller 301Y. Is also regulated by the receiving portion 479Y. As a result, even if the cover member 600Y is displaced in the same width direction to release the hook, it is possible to avoid at least a change in the positional relationship between the front side structure 400Y and the cover member 600Y. There is no inconvenience that the hook is released.

  According to the third embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are produced.

  In realizing the hook between the back side engaging portion 577Y and the first bent portion 641Y of the cover side engaging portion 622Y, the cover side engaging portion 622X is hooked to the back side engaging portion 577Y by the receiving portion 479Y of the front side structure 400Y. It is guided to a position (engagement position). For this reason, at the time of shifting to the hooked state, the bending deformation (elastic deformation) of both the engaging portions 577Y and 622Y becomes unnecessary. Thus, since it can transfer to a hooked state, without depending on deformation | transformation of the engaging parts 577Y and 622Y, the intensity | strength of the engaging parts 577Y and 622Y can be improved suitably. Thereby, for example, even when the cover side engaging portion 622Y is forcibly pulled through the opening 621Y, it is possible to make it difficult for the hooks due to deformation of the engaging portions 577Y and 622Y to be released.

  In addition, when the cover member 600Y is pulled in a direction opposite to the mounting direction, the hooking margin between the first bent portion 641Y and the stopper portion 573Y is secured, and the cover member 600Y is in the same direction as the mounting direction. When pushed or the like, the allowance between the second bent portion 642Y and the receiving portion 479Y is secured. Thereby, the act of displacing the cover member 600Y to comprehend the removal restriction can be made difficult.

  In the present embodiment, a configuration is adopted in which both the front-side fixed base portion 461Y and the back-side fixed base portion 561Y abut against the cover-side engaging portion 622Y from the opening 621Y side of the cover member 600Y. Lifting of the cover side engaging portion 622Y is suppressed by the portions 461Y and 561Y. Thereby, even if it is a case where the cover side engaging part 622Y is pulled etc., the load can be disperse | distributed suitably. Therefore, it is possible to make it difficult to cause inconveniences such as local deformation in the engaging portion 622Y and the like, and the removal restriction weakening.

  In addition, it is not limited to the description content of each embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows. Incidentally, the configurations of the following different modes may be applied individually to the configurations of the above embodiments, or may be applied in combination with each other.

  (1) In each of the above-described embodiments, the cover member 600 serving as the “regulating means” covers the connecting portions of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 (specifically, the fixed base portions 461 and 561 constituting the “connecting means”). Although it is configured, it is sufficient that at least the coupling release can be regulated, and it is not always necessary to cover the coupling site by the configuration corresponding to the regulating means.

  For example, as shown in the above-described embodiment, in the configuration in which the fixed base portions 461 and 561 are displaced toward the side away from each other in the direction in which the fixed base portions 461 and 561 are arranged, the both fixed bases are used instead of the cover member 600. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which a restricting member that sandwiches the portions 461 and 561 from both sides in the direction in which the fixed base portions 461 and 561 are arranged and restricts the displacement to the far side by the restricting member.

  When making such a change, for example, the following configuration may be adopted as means for fixing the regulating member to the substrate box 312. That is, by displacing the fixed base portions 461 and 561 in a direction different from the direction in which the fixed base portions 461 and 561 are juxtaposed, a locking portion that is hooked on the fixed base portions 461 and 561 is adopted, and the locking portion is fixed to the fixed base portions 461 and 561. It is good to arrange | position in the area | region pinched | interposed by the main-body part of a control member.

  However, in view of contribution to the improvement of the crime prevention function, it is preferable that the coupling unit is covered with the configuration corresponding to the regulating unit as shown in the above embodiment to prevent access to the coupling unit.

  (2) In each of the above-described embodiments, the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are coupled by the projections 465 and 565 being hooked, and the cover side engaging portion 622 of the cover member 600 is engaged with the both fixed base portions 461 and 561. By doing so, the removal restriction of the cover member 600 is restricted, but this may be changed as follows.

  In other words, the sealing seal is applied so as to straddle the boundary between the two fixed base portions 461 and 561 and to straddle the cover member 600, thereby connecting the two structural members 400 and 500 and restricting the removal of the cover member 600. It is also possible to do.

  Further, by attaching a fixing tool such as a break screw so as to penetrate both the fixed base portions 461 and 561 and the cover member 600, both the structural members 400 and 500 are coupled and the removal of the cover member 600 is restricted. Is also possible.

  (3) In each of the above embodiments, the cover side engaging portion 622 engages with the back side fixed base portion 561 based on the operation (insertion operation) of mounting the cover member 600 on the back side structure 500. Although the structure which shifts to the state is adopted, this is changed, and after the cover member 600 is disposed at the mounting position, the cover side engaging portion 622 is pushed into the through hole 563 with a finger or the like, thereby engaging the engagement. You may employ | adopt the structure which transfers to a state.

  In particular, as shown in each of the above embodiments, in the configuration that allows rotation of the cover side engaging portion 622 around the bent portion of the connecting portion 624 and the base end portion of the connecting portion 624, the cover side By rotating the engaging portion 622 around the bent portion, the projecting portion 625 comes into contact with the edge portion of the end surface 572 obliquely with respect to the pushing direction, and the pushing operation can be easily performed. Thus, the following effects can be expected by allowing the rotation around the bent portion instead of the base end portion of the connecting portion 624. That is, in the configuration in which the cover-side engagement portion 622 is restored by the elastic force stored in the connecting portion 624, the displacement at the time of return of the cover-side engagement portion 622 is between the cover-side engagement portion 622 and the end surface 572. It is assumed that an operation gap for allowing is required and the position of the cover member 600 is likely to vary. In this regard, as described above, if the cover side engaging portion 622 is not required to be automatically returned, and the structure is shifted to the engaged state by a pushing operation with a finger or the like, the spread of the gap can be suppressed, and the cover member can be suppressed. Shaking or the like in a state where 600 is attached can be suitably suppressed.

  (4) In each of the above embodiments, the cover member 600 is mounted in a state where the relative displacement directions of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 are defined. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the relative displacement direction is A configuration in which the cover member 600 is attached before being defined is also possible.

  For example, a groove that extends in the short direction of the substrate box 312 is formed on one of the two structural bodies 400 and 500, a leg that fits in the groove is formed on the other, and the leg moves within the groove. In the configuration in which the relative displacement between the two structural members 400 and 500 is restricted, the cover member 600 may be mounted in a state before the leg portion is inserted into the groove portion.

  (5) In each of the above embodiments, the cover member 600 includes the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620, and by destroying the connecting part 630 that connects the cover parts 610 and 620, The first cover part 610 can be removed while the second cover part 620 remains in the substrate box 312. However, the structure which can expose at least each arm part 451,551 should just be employ | adopted, and the 1st cover part 610 does not necessarily need to be separable. However, in consideration of workability when cutting the arm portions 451 and 551, the first cover portion 610 is preferably separable.

  In particular, in each of the above embodiments, the first cover portion 610 is formed in a cylindrical shape, and the second cover portion 620 can pass through the inside thereof, so that it is necessary to destroy the cover portions 610 and 620 themselves. Although there is no configuration, it is not always necessary to adopt a configuration in which the second cover portion 620 passes through the inside of the first cover portion 610 if it is not necessary to exhibit such an effect.

  (6) In each of the above-described embodiments, when the cover member 600 is removed, the trace (in other words, the opening trace of the substrate box 312) remains on the cover member 600. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, the cover member 600 may be configured such that no trace remains. However, considering that the cover member 600 is a member that covers the fixing portions 450 and 550, an act of making the traces formed on the fixing portions 450 and 550 difficult to see using the cover member 600 that does not leave any traces. May be hindered to improve security functions. Therefore, desirably, as shown in the above-described embodiment, when removing the cover member 600, that is, when opening the substrate box 312, some traces may be formed on the cover member 600.

  (7) In each of the above-described embodiments, the cover side engaging portion 622 is allowed to be displaced about the proximal end portion of the connecting portion 624 and displaced about the bent portion of the connecting portion 624. However, the present invention is not limited to this. It is only necessary to be able to displace at least the engagement position and the disengagement position with respect to the board box 312, and the above-described two kinds of displacements are not essential.

  In addition, the connecting portion 624 is formed so as to connect the portion on the front side in the mounting direction of the cover member 600 at the edge portion of the opening 621 and the portion on the front side in the mounting direction in the cover side engaging portion 622. It is arbitrary which part in the cover side engaging part 622 and the part on the main body side of the cover member 600 are connected to form the connecting part 624. For example, the connecting portion 624 may be formed so as to connect the portion on the front side in the mounting direction of the cover member 600 at the edge portion of the opening 621 and the portion on the front side in the mounting direction in the cover side engaging portion 622. Good.

  When such a modification is employed, when the cover member 600 is mounted on the board box 312, the cover side engaging portion 622 is bent and deformed around the base end portion of the connecting portion 624, and the cover The protruding portion 625 of the side engaging portion 622 rides on the insertion portion 571, and then the protruding portion 625 reaches the through hole 563 so that the original state is restored by the elastic force stored in itself. As a result, the fixed base portions 461 and 561 are caught.

  (8) In each of the above embodiments, the connecting portion 630 as the “connecting portion” in the cover member 600 has an arm shape, but the shape and number thereof are limited to those shown in the connecting portion 630. is not. It suffices to connect at least the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620, and the detailed configuration thereof is arbitrary.

  Note that the cover member 600 is not necessarily required to have the first cover portion 610 and the second cover portion 620, and it is only necessary to have a configuration corresponding to at least the first cover portion 610. The unit 620 can be omitted. Furthermore, it is not necessary to distinguish between the first cover part 610 and the second cover part 620, and one cover part may be configured as a whole by eliminating the boundary between them.

  (9) In each of the above-described embodiments, as the “joining means” for joining the structural bodies 400 and 500, the locking means for locking both the fixed bases (specifically, the protrusions 465 of the fixed base portions 461 and 561) , 565), but is not limited to this. For example, fixing means such as a seal member or a break screw may be employed.

  In addition, when employ | adopting the said modification, it is good to employ | adopt the following structures collectively. That is, a configuration is employed in which removal of the fixing means is hindered by the fixing portions 450, 550, etc., and release means for releasing the fixation of the fixing portions 450, 550 is provided outside the substrate box 312 and the release means is provided. It is preferable to adopt a configuration in which the fixing means is removed by operating to release the fixing portions 450 and 550.

  (10) In each of the above-described embodiments, the front arm portion 451 and the back arm portion 551 are broken to separate the two fixed base portions 461 and 561 constituting the “joining means” from the main body portion 351 of the substrate box 312. The components 400 and 500 are separated from each other, but destruction is not always essential when the components 400 and 500 are separated. However, from the viewpoint of improving crime prevention in the main control device 301, when the main control device 301 is opened, it is preferable that the trace remains. In this regard, as shown in the above embodiment, if the destruction of each of the arm portions 451 and 551 is an essential requirement for opening the main controller 301, the destruction trace can remain as an opening trace, The facts can be confirmed afterwards.

  (11) In the above-described embodiment, the seal cover 750 that constitutes the “regulating means” is removed, so that the seal seal 700 as the “trace portion” is destroyed. However, this is changed and the seal cover 750 is changed. It is also possible to adopt a configuration in which the sealing seal 700 is broken by performing a specific breaking operation when removing the seal.

  However, an operation other than the removal operation of the seal cover 750 is essential, which may be a factor in complicating the work. Therefore, it is desirable that the seal seal 700 be broken by an operation of removing the seal cover 750 (specifically, pulling out) as described in the above embodiments.

  (12) In each of the above embodiments, when the seal cover 750 is removed, the lid body 800 and a part of the substrate box 312 (the main body portion 487 of the base 485) are integrated with the seal cover 750. The main body 351 is separated from the main body 351. However, if the structure provided separately from the seal cover 750 and having the “breaking portion” is separated from the seal cover 750 integrally, It is not necessary to separate the lid body 800 having the “breaking portion” and the main body portion 487 of the base 485 integrally with the seal cover 750. One of the lid 800 and the main body 487 may be separated from the main body 351 of the substrate box 312 integrally with the seal cover 750.

  (13) In each of the above embodiments, the seal cover 750 and the cutting portions 490 and 820 are removed in an integrated state. However, the cutting portions 490 and 820 are disposed on the main body portion 351 side of the substrate box 312. A remaining configuration is also possible. For example, the cutting unit may be held in a state in which displacement in the cutting direction is allowed by the substrate box 312, and an operation unit for displacing the cutting unit in the cutting direction may be provided on the seal cover 750.

  (14) The front facing wall 753 of the seal cover 750 may be in contact with the seal seal 700. Thus, when the sealing seal 700 is cut using the cutting portions 490 and 820, the sealing seal 700 can be more preferably suppressed from being lifted from the pasting region 362.

  Further, when the seal cover 750 is removed, before each of the cut portions 490 and 820 hits the seal seal 700, the cut portion 490 or 820 is positioned at the front side in the removal direction of the seal cover 750. Further, a configuration in which a part of the lid 800 abuts against the seal seal 700 may be adopted. Thereby, similarly to the said modification, the floating suppression function of the seal seal | sticker 700 can be strengthened suitably.

  Further, the main body 487 of the base 485 may be configured to abut the seal seal 700 at a portion located on the front side in the removal direction of the seal cover 750 with respect to the cutting portion 490. However, in this modification, it is assumed that the sticking operation of the seal seal 700 becomes difficult as compared with the pattern in which the front-side facing wall 753 is brought into contact. Therefore, a contact function with respect to the seal seal 700 is desirably provided to a configuration (the seal cover 750 and the lid body 800) that is mounted after the seal seal 700, so that the mounting operation of the seal seal 700 is avoided. Good.

  (15) In each of the above embodiments, the seal cover 750 that covers the seal seal 700 is employed as the “regulatory means”. However, at least the release of the coupling of the two structural bodies 400 and 500 by the seal seal 700 can be regulated. It suffices if there is no need to cover the connecting portion by a configuration corresponding to the restricting means.

  (16) In each of the above embodiments, the sealing seal 700 is broken by the cutting portion 820, so that the coupling between the front side structure 400 and the back side structure 500 using the sealing seal 700 is released. However, it is not always necessary to provide the sealing seal 700 with the function of joining the two structural members 400 and 500. For example, the seal seal 700 may be affixed only to one of the front side sticking base part 481 and the back side sticking base part 581 and cut by the cutting part to leave a trace of removal of the seal cover 750. It is. In the case of adopting such a modified example, it is preferable to remove the seal cover 750 to allow the separation of the two structural bodies 400 and 500.

A gaming machine according to Feature A1, wherein means for performing the operation is provided.

  According to the feature A2, in the state where both case components are coupled by the coupling unit, the regulation by the separation regulating unit cannot be released.

  According to the feature A3, in a state where both case components are coupled, the displacement of the coupling portion in the release direction is regulated by the regulating unit. Thereby, it can suppress that coupling | bonding is cancelled | released easily. A certain degree of strength is expected for the restricting portion provided with a function for restricting displacement in the release direction. By restricting the removal of the release restricting means by the portion where the strength is ensured in this way, the removal restricting function of the release restricting means can be suitably exhibited.

Feature A4. The restricting portion is configured by a first restricting portion (stopper portion 573) provided in the first case structure and a second restricting portion (front side arm portion 451) provided in the second case structure. And
The first restricting portion and the second restricting portion are based on a change in the relative position of both restricting portions into a restricting state that restricts displacement of the coupling portion in the releasing direction and a restriction releasing state that releases the restriction.

  According to feature A4, an act of making the board box unfairly open by making it difficult to release the coupling of both case components by the coupling means by preventing the regulation part from switching to the regulation release state by the release regulation means Can be suitably suppressed.

Feature A5. The coupling means includes a coupling portion (a front-side fixed base portion 461 and a back-side fixed base portion 561) configured to be switched from a coupled state to a coupled release state by displacing in a predetermined release direction.
The coupling portion is

According to the feature A4, when a part (insertion portion) of the release restricting unit enters between the first coupling portion and the second coupling portion, the relative displacement of both the coupling portions is regulated. Thereby, it is possible to disperse the load that may occur in the coupling portion and to protect the coupling portion.
Moreover, it becomes possible to suppress the displacement of the release restricting means by both coupling portions, and it is possible to make it difficult to understand the restriction by the release restricting means.

Feature A6. The first coupling part and the second coupling part are switched to the coupled state based on displacement of relative positions of the two case structural bodies when the first case structural body and the second case structural body are assembled. Is configured as
The gaming machine according to Feature A5, wherein the insertion portion enters between the coupling portions in a process in which the both coupling portions are in the coupled state.

  As shown in feature A6, the release restricting means can be removed by adopting a configuration that uses a displacement of the relative positions of the case components (joining portions) when the case components are combined. A separate operation for regulation is not required, and the improvement effect of the crime prevention function shown in the feature A1 or the like can be enjoyed, and the deterioration of workability when assembling the substrate case due to it can be suppressed.

Feature A7. When the release restricting means is attached to the case structure, the insertion portion is hooked on at least one of the two case structures.
When the insertion portion is attached to the case structural body, at least a part of the release restricting means is elastically deformed to be displaced in a direction different from the attaching direction of the release restricting means. The gaming machine according to Feature A5 or Feature A6, wherein the gaming machine is displaced to a catch position where the catch is caught with any one of the constituent bodies and a catch avoidance position where the catch is avoided.

  In the configuration in which the insertion portion reaches the catch position based on the elastic deformation of the release restricting means, it is possible to shift to the above-mentioned catch state by the mounting operation of the release restricting means, which is significant in terms of improving workability. However, on the other hand, there is a concern that by allowing the elastic deformation, the restricting function becomes difficult to be exhibited due to the insertion portion being easily displaced. In this regard, as shown in the above feature, if the insertion portion is configured to enter between the two coupling portions, the displacement of the insertion portion can be suppressed by the coupling portion, and state switching using elastic deformation is adopted. Disadvantages caused by this can be eliminated.

  According to the feature A8, it is possible to suppress the exposure of the coupling means by covering the coupling means with the release restricting means. The insertion portion can be displaced in and out of the main body through an opening formed in the main body of the release restricting means. By allowing the displacement of the insertion portion using elastic deformation, switching to the catch position and the catch avoidance position is preferably realized.

  However, in such a configuration, a gap is easily generated between the opening edge and the insertion portion, and the shielding function of the coupling means by the main body is lowered. In this regard, in this feature, the lowering of the shielding function can be suppressed by configuring the connection portion to cover a part of the opening (for example, a gap generated between the insertion portion and the opening edge). It has become.

  For example, the following effects can be expected by adopting a configuration in which the insertion portion is positioned on the removal path of the main body of the release restricting means in a state where the insertion portion enters the coupling portion. That is, even when the elastically deformable connecting portion is damaged, the removal of the main body remains restricted, and the act of easily removing the main body and facilitating access to the coupling means is suitably suppressed. be able to.

Plate-like portions 531, 532, etc.)
The attachment / detachment direction of the release restricting means with respect to the substrate case is the same direction as the predetermined direction,
In a state where removal of the release restricting means is restricted, the displacement of the relative position between the release restricting means and the first case structure in the predetermined direction is restricted, and the release in the predetermined displacement direction is restricted. The gaming machine according to any one of features A1 to A9, wherein displacement of a relative position between the regulating means and the second case structure is regulated.

  According to the feature A10, the release restricting means is attached, and the removal of the release restricting means is restricted, whereby the relative displacement between the release restricting means and the first cover structure is restricted, and the release restricting means and the second restricting means. Relative displacement with the cover structure is restricted. That is, the relative displacement between the first case structure and the second case structure is restricted via the release restricting means.

Thereby, it becomes possible to access the case side connecting portion without destroying the first cover portion and the second cover portion, and the structure shown in the feature A1 is adopted to improve the security function, and the resulting substrate case is opened. A decrease in workability can be suppressed.

  Thereafter, the coupling means and the release restricting means can be separated from the substrate box together with the second cover part by destroying the case side connecting part. Thereby, even if the removal restricting function of the release restricting means is strengthened or the connecting function by the joining means is strengthened, it is possible to avoid the above-described releasing operation from becoming difficult due to that. Furthermore, since the regulation release and the joint release are realized together by the destruction of the case side connecting portion, it is possible to suitably suppress the complication of work.

  Note that by destroying the case-side connecting portion, a destruction trace remains in the substrate case, and it becomes possible to confirm the fact that the substrate case has been opened. In this way, by leaving the destruction traces in both the release restricting means and the substrate case, it is possible to make it more difficult to conceal the opening fact of the substrate case.

Therefore, while ensuring the shielding function by the second cover portion, it is possible to suppress a decrease in workability, and a practically preferable configuration can be realized.

  For example, the first cover portion and the second cover portion may be formed so that the inner shape of the first cover portion is larger than the outer shape of the second cover portion when viewed from the side-by-side direction of the first cover portion and the second cover portion.

Feature A14. An end surface of the opening on the first cover portion side in the second cover portion is opposed to a region surrounded by the first cover portion,

  According to the feature A14, it is possible to suppress an unauthorized tool or the like from being inserted into the inner region of the second cover via the boundary portion between the first cover portion and the second cover portion. Thereby, even if the release restricting means has the first cover part and the second cover part, and the second cover part can pass through the inside of the first cover part, the crime prevention function is deteriorated due to it. Can be suppressed. In particular, by forming the cover portion so as to face the end surface of the opening portion, for example, compared to the case where a shielding portion for closing the opening portion of the second cover portion is provided inside the second cover portion, the second A gap generated between the cover portion and the cover portion can be suitably reduced.

  In addition, the injection | pouring to the area | region enclosed by the 2nd cover part can suppress the access to a release control means etc. more suitably. In the case of adopting such a configuration, the end surface of the second cover portion and the cover portion may be brought into contact with each other to close the opening of the second cover portion.

It is preferable to adopt a simple configuration.

  However, in the configuration in which the regulation function acts on the second cover portion, if the cover side connecting portion is simply made fragile, the cover side connecting portion is deformed. Expected to grow. This can lead to an increase in the gap between the first cover part and the main body part, and can cause unauthorized access to the case side connecting part and the like from the gap. Therefore, if the displacement in the direction crossing the attaching / detaching direction of the release restricting means is restricted by the fitting part formed in the main body part, the above-mentioned inconvenience is caused while making the cover side connecting part fragile. Can be suppressed.

  According to the feature B1, since it is not in a restricted state based on the attachment of the release restricting means, but in a restricted state by a combination of case components (relative displacement), the following effects can be expected.

  For example, if it is attempted to adopt a configuration that shifts to a restricted state in accordance with the arrangement of the release restricting means, it is assumed that a hook or the like that can be elastically deformed between the restricted state and the released state is easily adopted as the removal restricting means. However, if such a hook or the like is used to shift to the restricted state, it is possible to achieve both improvement in workability when attaching the release restricting means and improvement in strength required for removing the release restricting means. Becomes difficult. Further, if it is attempted to compensate for such a lack of strength by employing other fixing means such as screws, the structure for fixing the release restricting means becomes complicated, or the fixing work of the release restricting means becomes complicated. It is assumed.

In particular, by improving the strength of the removal restriction, it is possible to make it difficult to perform an action such as forcibly pulling the release restriction means to release the restriction state illegally, thereby contributing to the improvement of the crime prevention function.

  In addition, when the technical idea shown in this feature is applied to the feature A group, it is possible to adopt the separation restricting means shown in the feature A group instead of the removal restricting means shown in this feature.

  According to the feature B3, by first attaching the release restricting means to the first case structure, dropping of the release restricting means from the first case structure is restricted. Thereafter, by combining the first case structure and the second case structure, the displacement of the cover side restricting portion is restricted, and it becomes impossible to remove the release restricting means without separating the case structure. By adopting such a configuration, the release restricting means can be temporarily attached to the first case structure in the middle of the work. For example, the combination work of both case structures while holding the release restricting means by hand. Need not be performed. Thereby, even if it employ | adopts the structure which attaches a release control means before the combination of a case structure is completed, it becomes possible to suppress the fall of workability | operativity by it.

A gaming machine characterized by being in a state of restricting removal of means.

  According to the feature B6, since the restricted state is not set based on the attachment of the release restricting means, but the restricted state is set by the combination of components (relative displacement), the following effects can be expected.

  For example, if it is attempted to adopt a configuration that shifts to a restricted state in accordance with the arrangement of the release restricting means, it is assumed that a hook or the like that can be elastically deformed between the restricted state and the released state is easily adopted as the removal restricting means. However, if such a hook or the like is used to shift to the restricted state, it is possible to achieve both improvement in workability when attaching the release restricting means and improvement in strength required for removing the release restricting means. Becomes difficult. Further, if it is attempted to compensate for such a lack of strength by employing other fixing means such as screws, the structure for fixing the release restricting means becomes complicated, or the fixing work of the release restricting means becomes complicated. It is assumed.

  In this respect, according to the present feature, since it is possible to shift to the restricted state without depending on such elastic deformation, it is possible to achieve both improvement in workability and improvement in the strength of the restriction means. In particular, by improving the strength of the removal restriction, it is possible to make it difficult to perform an action such as forcibly pulling the release restriction means to release the restriction state illegally, thereby contributing to the improvement of the crime prevention function.

  According to the feature C1, by breaking the connecting portion, the fixing portion and the main body portion of the substrate case are divided, and the coupling by the coupling means is released. By releasing the coupling in this way, the board case is opened and the control board can be accessed. Thus, in the configuration in which the coupling means is coupled to the substrate case (specifically, the main body) via the coupling portion, the following effects can be expected by adopting a configuration in which the coupling portion is covered by the cover means. That is, by suppressing the exposure of the connecting portion, unnecessary access to the connecting portion can be suppressed, and the security of the coupling function and the security function can be improved.

Feature C2. The cover means is formed with an opening (insertion port 601) that is opened to the front side in the mounting direction with respect to the substrate case and into which the coupling means is inserted.

  According to the feature C1, even if an operator or the like accidentally touches the cover unit, the cover unit can be prevented from interfering with the connecting portion. Further, the stress caused by the contact or the like is dispersed in the substrate case through the fitting portion, so that the stress can be prevented from concentrating on the connecting portion. Thereby, the protection function of a connection part can be exhibited more suitably.

  Further, the opening (edge) and the fitting portion make it difficult to access the connecting portion through the gap between the substrate case and the cover means, and can contribute to the improvement of the crime prevention function.

  According to the feature C3, when the case component is separated and the control board or the like is accessed, a trace remains in the cover means in the process. Thereby, the act of illegally reusing the cover means and concealing the fact that the access to the control board or the like has been performed can be suppressed.

  Feature C4. The gaming machine according to any one of features C1 to C3, wherein the cover means is formed so as to accommodate the coupling means in an area defined by the cover means.

  According to the feature C4, the coupling means and the connecting portion are collectively covered, thereby contributing to the improvement of the crime prevention function while suppressing the complication of the configuration as compared with the configuration in which each configuration is covered with a separate cover member or the like. can do.

The gaming machine according to Feature C4, wherein the regulating means is arranged in the coupling means.

  According to the feature C5, it is possible to suitably suppress an oversight when a visual confirmation operation is performed by increasing a trace due to the destruction of the connecting portion. In this respect, by disposing the connecting portion on the main body side of the substrate case, the coupling means can be separated from the substrate case by breaking the connecting portion, and the trace can be made conspicuous.

  When such a configuration is adopted, it is assumed that the load generated in the connecting portion increases when the cover unit is pulled to the opposite side to the mounting direction in a situation where the cover unit is mounted. . Therefore, for example, the connecting portion may be constituted by a plurality of columnar portions extending in the mounting direction of the cover means. Thereby, it becomes possible to suppress deformation and breakage due to such stress. On the other hand, when the substrate case is opened for regular purposes such as inspection of the control substrate, it can be easily broken by applying a load in a direction intersecting the mounting direction of the cover means to the connecting portion.

Feature C6. The connecting part is a case side connecting part,

  According to the feature C6, the cover-side connecting portion that connects the first cover portion and the second cover portion is destroyed, so that the first cover portion remains in the substrate case while the second cover portion remains in the substrate case. Can be removed from. Thereby, it becomes possible to access the case side connecting part without destroying the first cover part and the second cover part, and the structure shown in the feature A1 is adopted to improve the security function, and the resulting substrate case is opened. A decrease in workability can be suppressed.

  Thereafter, by breaking the case side connecting portion, the coupling means and the regulating means can be separated from the substrate box together with the second cover portion. As a result, even if the function of restricting the removal of the cover means is strengthened or the joining function by the joining means is strengthened, the above-described release operation does not become difficult. Furthermore, since the restriction release and the connection release are realized together by the destruction of the case side connecting portion, it is possible to more suitably suppress the deterioration of workability.

  Note that by destroying the case-side connecting portion, a destruction trace remains in the substrate case, and it becomes possible to confirm the fact that the substrate case has been opened. In this way, by leaving the destruction traces on both the cover means and the substrate case, it is possible to make it more difficult to conceal the opening fact of the substrate case.

  Incidentally, in the combination with the feature C3, the “cover side trace means” shown in the feature C3 can be replaced by the “cover side connecting portion” shown in this feature.

  Further, in the combination with the feature A group and the feature B group, the “restricting means” shown in the features C5 and C6 can be the same as the “separation restricting means” or the “removal restricting means”. .

  According to the feature C7, the first cover portion is formed in a cylindrical shape surrounding the case side coupling portion, and the second cover portion can pass through the first cover portion, thereby leaving the second cover portion after the cover side coupling portion is broken. It is possible to remove the first cover portion as it is, and to minimize the places where the cover means needs to be destroyed. Therefore, while ensuring the shielding function by the second cover portion, it is possible to suppress a decrease in workability, and a practically preferable configuration can be realized.

  For example, the first cover portion and the second cover portion may be formed so that the inner shape of the first cover portion is larger than the outer shape of the second cover portion when viewed from the side-by-side direction of the first cover portion and the second cover portion.

Feature C8. A combined body (substrate box 312) in which a first structural body (for example, the back-side structural body 500) and a second structural body (for example, the front-side structural body 400) are combined with each other;
A coupling means (front side fixing portion 450 and back side fixing portion 550) for mutually coupling the first structure and the second structure;

  According to the feature C8, the fixing portion and the main body portion of the combination body are divided by breaking the connecting portion, and the connection by the connecting means is released. By releasing the coupling in this way, the combination can be separated into the first component and the second component. In the configuration in which the coupling means is coupled to the combination body (specifically, the main body portion) via the coupling portion, the following effects can be expected by covering the coupling portion with the cover means. That is, by suppressing the exposure of the connecting portion, unnecessary access to the connecting portion can be suppressed, and the security of the coupling function and the security function can be improved.

A destruction portion (for example, lid 800) to be made,
The gaming machine is characterized in that the removal of the trace cover and the destruction part is regulated by attaching the destruction part with the trace cover being attached to the substrate case.

  In the configuration in which the opening trace remains when the substrate case is opened as shown in the feature D1, it is possible to grasp the subsequent opening fact by checking the opening trace visually. As a result, for example, when an illegal act is performed on the substrate case, the fact can be grasped. Here, if a configuration is assumed in which the destruction portion and the trace cover are attached in an integrated state, or the trace cover is attached after the destruction portion is attached, the destruction portion is traced in the attachment process of both of these configurations. The possibility of interfering with the part increases. If an attempt is made to avoid such an event, it is feared that excessive caution is required for mounting the broken portion and the trace cover, and the workability is lowered.

  In this regard, as shown in this feature, if the destruction portion is attached after the trace cover is attached, and the removal of the trace cover and the destruction portion is regulated by the attachment of the destruction portion, for example, the trace cover When installing an integrated structure corresponding to the destruction part, or compared with a structure in which the destruction part is attached before attaching the trace cover, an opening trace remains due to a work mistake or the like. Such inconvenience can be made difficult to occur. Thereby, it can suppress that an operation | work becomes difficult and can suppress suitably the fall of workability | operativity resulting from the improvement of a crime prevention function.

  Feature D2. When the breaking portion is mounted, the restricting means (for example, the cover side locking portion 761 and the lid side locking portion 811) that regulates separation between the breaking portion and the trace cover is covered by the breaking portion and the trace cover. The gaming machine according to Feature D1, wherein the gaming machine is in a state of being accommodated in a reserved area.

  In the configuration in which the destruction portion is attached after the trace cover is attached as shown in the feature D1, it is difficult to suppress the exposure of the destruction portion as compared with the configuration in which the configuration corresponding to the destruction portion is built in the trace cover. . If the destructive part is exposed and it is easy to remove the destructive part, it is easy to perform an act of opening the substrate case without removing the trace by removing the destructive cover after removing the destructive part. It is assumed that

  Therefore, as shown in this feature, if a configuration is adopted in which the restricting means for restricting separation between the destruction portion and the trace cover is accommodated in an area covered by the destruction portion and the trace cover, the destruction portion is retrofitted. The occurrence of the inconvenience due to the above can be suitably suppressed, and the crime prevention function shown in the feature D1 can be suitably exhibited.

  Feature D3. The gaming machine according to Feature D1 or Feature D2, wherein the trace portion is disposed at a position deviated from the mounting track of the destruction portion and an extension thereof.

  According to the feature D3, it is possible to suitably avoid that the trace portion is accidentally destroyed during the mounting operation of the destruction portion. In particular, if it is disposed at a position deviating from the extension of the mounting track, it is possible to preferably avoid the interference between the broken portion and the trace portion due to work variations when mounting the broken portion.

  For example, the destruction portion may be disposed at a position on the front side in the mounting direction of the trace cover with respect to the trace portion.

Feature D4. The trace portion is arranged so as to cover an open portion of a groove portion (for example, the groove portions 365 and 366) formed in the substrate case,
The groove portion extends in the same direction as the mounting direction of the trace cover, and a part of the groove portion protrudes further toward the mounting direction than the arrangement region of the trace portion,
The breaking portion is formed such that a part of the breaking portion is fitted in the protruding portion of the groove portion and displacement along the groove portion of the fitting portion is allowed. And
The game machine according to Feature D3, wherein the destruction portion is displaced along the groove portion so as to follow the displacement in the removal direction of the trace cover.

  According to the feature D4, by removing the trace cover, a part of the destruction part is displaced along the groove part. Thereby, a destruction part cross | intersects a trace part and a trace part will be parted along a groove part. By adopting such a configuration, even if a configuration in which the destruction portion is attached after the trace cover is attached, it is possible to suitably avoid the occurrence of inconvenience that the destruction function is not exhibited well.

Feature D5. The board case is combined with each other to form a first case structure (for example, the back-side structure 500) and a second case structure (for example, the front-side structure 400) that form at least a part of the internal space of the substrate case. Have
The trace portion joins both case components by being fixed to each case component so as to straddle the first case component and the second case component,
The gaming machine according to Feature D4, wherein the groove portion serves as a boundary portion between the first case structure and the second case structure.

  According to the feature D5, by removing the trace cover, the trace portion can be divided at the boundary part (groove part) on the first case component side and the second case component side. Thereby, the coupling | bonding of both case structure bodies by a trace part is cancelled | released, and the subsequent opening operation | work of a substrate case can be advanced smoothly.

Feature D6. The trace portion is a seal member,
The destruction portion is disposed at a position on the front side in the mounting direction of the trace cover with respect to the trace cover, and is configured to be mounted from the front side of the trace portion.
The breaking portion is provided with a lifting restricting portion (a bottom surface of the main body portion 487 in the base 485) for restricting the lifting of the trace portion from the arrangement region by facing the trace portion. The gaming machine according to Feature D5 or Feature D6.

  When the seal member is employed as the trace portion, there is a problem that the trace portion is lifted when a part of the destruction portion is displaced along the groove portion. This is not preferable because it can be a factor that makes it difficult to destroy the trace portion. Here, for example, when trying to suppress the lifting of the seal member by the trace cover, the restricting portion passes through the front surface of the seal member when the trace cover is attached, so that the seal member is prevented from being damaged. This requires a relatively large clearance between the restricting portion and the seal member. This is not preferable because it can be a factor that lowers the lifting restriction function of the restriction portion.

  In this regard, as shown in this feature, by disposing the restricting portion with respect to the breaking portion mounted from the front side of the sealing member (not mounted along the sealing member), the above-described inconvenience is generated. Can be avoided. That is, since it is not necessary to consider the damage of the seal member when mounting the destruction portion, the restriction portion can be suitably brought close to the seal member. Thereby, while aiming at protection of a sealing member, the fall of the lift control function resulting from it can be suppressed suitably.

Feature D7. In the substrate case, an installation surface (the pasting base 361) of the trace portion is formed,
The trace cover is attached and detached along the installation surface,
The destruction part is mounted from the side where the installation surface is facing,
The trace portion is a seal member, and is arranged so as to cover an open portion of a groove portion (for example, the groove portions 365 and 366) formed on the installation surface,
The groove portion extends in the same direction as the mounting direction of the trace cover, and a part of the groove portion protrudes further to the front side in the mounting direction than the arrangement area of the trace portion,
In the breaking portion, an inclined portion that is arranged in the protruding portion of the groove portion and inclines toward the bottom side of the groove portion toward the mounting direction of the trace cover so as to straddle the open portion of the groove portion inward and outward. The gaming machine according to any one of features D1 to D6, wherein the gaming machine is formed.

  As shown in the feature D3 and the like, when adopting a configuration in which the trace portion is destroyed when the trace cover is removed, the configuration in which the trace cover is removed along the installation surface for the trace portion. By doing so, it is possible to contribute to widening the area where the trace remains. Here, by attaching the destruction part from a direction different from the trace cover (from the side facing the installation surface), the inclined part formed in the destruction part is inserted into the groove part formed on the installation surface. The configuration can be realized.

  The inclined part is formed so as to incline toward the bottom side of the groove part in the mounting direction of the trace cover and straddle the open part of the groove part inside and outside. For this reason, when a trace part and an inclination part contact | abut with removal of a trace cover, a trace part will be pressed to the installation surface side by an inclination part. Thereby, the lift of the trace part from an installation surface can be suppressed and a destruction function can be exhibited suitably.

Feature D8. The trace cover is provided with a cover side locking portion (cover side locking portion 761) that can be switched between a locked state and a locked release state with respect to the substrate case.
The breaking portion is formed with a restricting portion (for example, a lid-side locking portion 811) that restricts switching of the cover-side locking portion to the unlocked state in a state where the breaking portion is mounted. The gaming machine according to any one of features D1 to D7, wherein

  According to the feature D8, switching the cover side locking portion to the unlocked state is restricted by mounting the destruction portion. Thereby, the unauthorized removal of a trace cover can be suppressed suitably.

Feature D9. A control board (main control board 311) for controlling the game,
An internal space is formed, and a substrate case (substrate box 312) for accommodating the control board in the internal space;

A trace cover attached to the substrate case and covering the trace portion (seal cover 750);
The substrate case has a main body part (main body part 351) that partitions and forms the internal space, and an attachment part (pedestal 485) to which the trace cover is attached,
A regulation means for regulating removal of the trace cover from the attachment portion (for example, the lid 800),
By separating the mounting portion from the main body portion, the mounting portion and the trace cover are configured to be removable as a unit,
In the attachment portion, when the trace cover is removed, the destruction portion is brought into contact with the trace portion to destroy the trace portion, thereby releasing the inhibition state and leaving the trace by the trace portion (for example, A gaming machine comprising a lid 800).

  In the configuration in which the opening trace remains when the substrate case is opened as indicated by the feature D9, the subsequent opening fact can be grasped by checking the opening trace visually. As a result, for example, when an illegal act is performed on the substrate case, the fact can be grasped. However, in the configuration having such a trace portion, if the trace remains as if it was opened even though the substrate case is not opened, the control board is inspected when it is found. It becomes difficult to determine that it is unnecessary, and wasteful confirmation work may occur. In particular, when such an event is repeated, it may be difficult to reduce the reliability of the trace portion and to effectively exhibit the crime prevention function.

  In this point, in this feature, for example, when the destruction portion is disposed in the mounting portion for the trace cover in the substrate case, for example, when the configuration corresponding to the destruction portion is integrated in the trace cover In addition, in comparison with the configuration in which the destruction portion is attached before attaching the trace cover, it is possible to make it difficult to cause inconvenience that the opening trace remains due to an operation error or the like. Thereby, the reliability of the crime prevention function using a trace part can be improved suitably, and it can contribute to the improvement of crime prevention.

Feature D10. The trace portion is arranged so as to cover an open portion of a groove portion (for example, the groove portions 365 and 366) formed in the arrangement region,
The groove portion extends in the same direction as the mounting direction of the trace cover, and a part of the groove portion protrudes further toward the mounting direction than the arrangement region,
The game machine according to Feature D9, wherein the breaking portion is formed so as to be fitted into the protruding portion of the groove portion and to be allowed to be displaced along the groove portion.

  According to the feature D10, by removing the trace cover, a part of the destruction part is displaced along the groove part. Thereby, a destruction part cross | intersects a trace part and a trace part will be parted along a groove part. By adopting such a configuration, even if a configuration in which the destruction portion is arranged in the mounting portion is adopted, it is possible to suitably avoid the occurrence of inconvenience that the destruction function is not satisfactorily exhibited.

  In addition, since the destruction portion is fitted in the groove portion and the exposure of the destruction portion is suppressed, in the configuration in which the trace portion is provided separately, the trace portion is not provided when the trace portion is provided. It can suppress that it breaks, such as being caught in a destruction part.

Feature D11. A combined body (substrate box 312) in which a first structural body (for example, the back-side structural body 500) and a second structural body (for example, the front-side structural body 400) are combined with each other;
A trace portion (sealing seal 700) that is provided so as to inhibit separation of the combination, and that leaves the separation trace when the inhibition state is released;
A trace cover (seal cover 750) that is detachably attached to the combination and covers the trace portion;
The trace cover is provided separately from the trace cover, and is brought into contact with the trace portion by a predetermined displacement in a predetermined direction to destroy the trace portion, thereby releasing the inhibition state and leaving the trace by the trace portion. A destruction portion (for example, lid 800) to be made,
The gaming machine is characterized in that the removal of the trace cover and the destruction part is regulated by attaching the destruction part with the trace cover being attached to the combination.

  In the configuration in which the separation trace remains when the combination is separated as shown in the feature D11, it is possible to grasp the subsequent separation fact by checking the separation trace visually. Here, if a configuration is assumed in which the destruction portion and the trace cover are attached in an integrated state, or the trace cover is attached after the destruction portion is attached, the destruction portion is traced in the attachment process of both of these configurations. The possibility of interfering with the part increases. If an attempt is made to avoid such an event, it is feared that excessive caution is required for mounting the broken portion and the trace cover, and the workability is lowered.

  In this regard, as shown in this feature, if the destruction portion is attached after the trace cover is attached, and the removal of the trace cover and the destruction portion is regulated by the attachment of the destruction portion, for example, the trace cover When installing an integrated structure corresponding to the destruction part, or compared with a structure in which the destruction part is attached before attaching the trace cover, an opening trace remains due to a work mistake or the like. Such inconvenience can be made difficult to occur. Thereby, it can suppress that an operation | work becomes difficult and can suppress suitably the fall of workability | operativity resulting from the improvement of a crime prevention function.

  The basic configuration of the gaming machine to which the above features can be applied is shown below.
