The operation is detected by a push sensor (not shown).

  Next, the circuit configuration of the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be described. On the back of the pachinko gaming machine 1, for example, a main board (not shown), an effect control board, an audio control board, an LED control board, and a relay for relaying various control signals transmitted between the main board and the effect control board Various boards such as a board, a payout control board, an information terminal board, a launch control board, an interface board, and an effect board 40 to be described later are arranged.

  The main board (not shown) is a main-side control board on which various circuits for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 are mounted. The main board is a sub-side control board mainly composed of a random number setting function used in a special figure game, a function of inputting a signal from a switch arranged at a predetermined position, an effect control board (not shown), etc. And a function of outputting and transmitting a control command as an example of command information as a control signal, a function of outputting various information to a hall management computer, and the like. In addition, the main board performs on / off control of each of the LEDs (for example, segment LEDs) constituting the first special symbol display 4A and the second special symbol display 4B, so that the first special diagram and the second special diagram are displayed. Controls the display of fluctuations of a predetermined display pattern, such as controlling the display of fluctuations and controlling the fluctuation display of the normal symbols by the normal symbol display 20 by turning on / off / coloring the normal symbol display 20. It also has a function to do. The main board is mounted with various circuits such as a game control microcomputer (not shown), a switch circuit (not shown), and a solenoid circuit.

  The main board is connected to a gate switch that detects a game ball that has passed through the passage gate 41, a first start port switch, a second start port switch, and a wiring that transmits a detection signal from the count switch. Further, display control is performed on the first special symbol display 4A, the second special symbol display 4B, the normal symbol display 20, the first hold indicator 25A, the second hold indicator 25B, the universal figure hold indicator 25C, and the like. Wiring for transmitting a command signal is connected.

  The control command transmitted from the main board to the effect control board via the relay board is, for example, an effect control command transmitted and received as an electric signal. The effect control command includes, for example, a change pattern designation command indicating a change pattern indicating a change mode such as a change time of an effect symbol, a type of reach effect, and the presence / absence of a pseudo-ream.

  The game control microcomputer mounted on the main board is, for example, a one-chip microcomputer, a ROM (ReadOnly Memory) for storing a game control program, fixed data, and the like, and a RAM for providing a game control work area. (RandomAccessMemory102), a CPU (Central Processing Unit) that executes a control program by executing a game control program, a random number circuit that updates numeric data indicating a random number value independently of the CPU, and an I / O (Input / Outputport). As an example, in the game control microcomputer, a process for controlling the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 is executed by the CPU executing a program read from the ROM.

  The production control board (not shown) is a sub-side control board independent of the main board, receives the control signal transmitted from the main board via the relay board, and produces the production display device 5 and the speakers 8L and 8R. In addition, various circuits for controlling the rendering operation by the electrical components for rendering such as various motors, solenoids, sensors, and light emitting diodes (LEDs) provided in the rendering LED 9 and the rendering units 300 and 500 are mounted.

  An effect control board (not shown) includes an effect control CPU that performs a control operation in accordance with a program, an ROM that stores an effect control program and fixed data, and a RAM that provides a work area for the effect control CPU; A display control unit that executes processing for determining the control content of the display operation in the effect display device 5; a random number circuit that updates numerical data indicating random values independently of the effect control CPU; O is mounted. As an example, in the effect control board, the effect control CPU executes an effect control program read from the ROM, thereby executing a process for controlling the effect operation by the effect electric parts. In addition to the program for effect control, the ROM stores various data tables used for controlling the effect operation.

  Next, the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1 will be schematically described. In the pachinko gaming machine 1, based on the fact that the game ball has passed through the passing gate 41 provided in the gaming area 10, the normal game with the normal symbol display 20 is started. After the start of the normal symbol change, if the specified time, which is the normal symbol change time, has elapsed, and the normal symbols other than the normal symbol are displayed in a stopped state, the normal symbol change display result is “out of normal”. Become. If the specific normal symbol (the symbol per ordinary symbol) is stopped and displayed, the variation display result of the ordinary symbol becomes “per ordinary symbol”, and the expansion / release control (tilt control) of the ordinary variable winning ball apparatus 6B is performed, and the predetermined symbol is displayed. When time elapses, normal opening control for returning to the vertical position is performed.

  Based on the fact that the first start condition is satisfied after the first special condition game or the big hit game state has ended, for example, after the first start condition is satisfied because the game ball has won the first start winning opening, etc. Then, a special game is started by the first special symbol display 4A. In addition, after the second start condition is established because the game ball has won the second start winning opening, etc., the second start condition is established, for example, due to the end of the previous special game or the big hit game state. Based on this, a special game is started by the second special symbol display 4B.

  In the special game, after starting the variable display of the special symbol, the fixed special symbol (special graphic display result) is derived and displayed when the variable display time elapses. At this time, if a specific special symbol (big hit symbol) is displayed in a stopped state, the result is “big hit” as the specific display result, and if a special symbol different from the big hit symbol is displayed in a stopped state, it becomes “out of place”. After the fluctuation display result in the special figure game becomes “big hit”, the game is controlled to the big hit gaming state as a specific gaming state in which a round advantageous to the player (also referred to as “round game”) is executed a predetermined number of times.

  In the big hit gaming state, a special winning prize ball device 7 has a special prize opening door for a period until a predetermined upper limit time (for example, 29 seconds or 0.1 second) elapses or a predetermined number (for example, 9) of winning balls. In the period until the occurrence of, the grand prize opening is opened. Thereby, the round which makes the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 the 1st state (open state) advantageous for a player is performed.

  A special prize opening device that opens the grand prize opening during the round is received by receiving a game ball falling on the surface of the game board 2 and then closing the special prize opening. 7 is changed to the second state (closed state) disadvantageous to the player, and one round is completed. The round that is the opening cycle of the big prize opening can be repeatedly executed until the number of executions reaches a predetermined upper limit number (for example, “16”, etc.).

  In the effect symbol display areas 5L, 5C, and 5R of the effect display device 5, in response to the start of the special symbol game, the effect symbol variable display is started. In the period from the start of the variation display of the effect symbol to the end of the variation display, the variation display state of the effect symbol may be a predetermined reach state.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, the fixed effect symbol that is a predetermined normal big hit combination (also referred to as “non-probable variable big hit combination”) is stopped and displayed, and the variation display result is “non-probable big hit bonus”. ”Is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, time reduction control (time reduction control) is performed. By performing the time reduction control, the special symbol change display time (special figure change time) in the special figure game is shortened compared to the normal state. In the short-time control, so-called electric Chu support is performed in which the winning frequency of the normal symbol is increased and the winning frequency to the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B is increased. In the time-saving control, one of the conditions is established first, that is, a special game is executed a predetermined number of times (for example, 100 times) after the big hit gaming state ends, and the fluctuation display result is “big hit”. Sometimes it just needs to end.

  As a confirmed special symbol in the special figure game, among the multiple types of big hit combinations, the finalized design symbol that becomes a predetermined probability variable big hit combination (also referred to as “probable big hit combination”) is stopped and the fluctuation display result is “probable big hit” When it becomes, it is controlled to the big hit state, and after the end, probability variation control (probability variation control) is performed together with time reduction control. By performing the probability variation control, the probability that the variation display result is “big hit” in each special figure game is improved so as to be higher than that in the normal state. When the condition that the variable display result is “big hit” and the game is controlled again to the big hit gaming state after the end of the big hit gaming state is established, the probability variation control is performed a predetermined number of times after the big hit gaming state ends (for example, the same as the number of time reductions 100) When the special figure game is executed, the probability variation control lottery executed every time the special figure game is started after the jackpot game state is finished is determined to have “probable fall”. When it ends, etc.

  When the short-time control is performed, the normal symbol variation time (normal diagram variation time) in the regular game is shorter than that in the normal state, and the regular symbol variation display result is “normal diagram” in each regular game. The tilt control time for performing the tilt control of the movable blade piece in the normal variable winning ball apparatus 6B based on the fact that the probability of “winning” is higher than that in the normal state, and the fluctuation display result is “normal hitting”. The second start condition can be established by making it easier for the game ball to pass (enter) the second start winning opening, such as control for making it longer than in the normal state, and control for increasing the number of tilts than in the normal state. Control (electricity chew support control, high opening control) that is advantageous for the player by enhancing the performance is performed. As a result, the second start condition for executing the special figure game using the second special figure is likely to be established, and the special figure game can be executed frequently. Time to become is shortened.

  Next, the operation (action) of the pachinko gaming machine 1 in this embodiment will be described. In the main board (not shown), when power supply from a predetermined power supply board is started, a game control microcomputer (not shown) is activated, and a predetermined process which is a game control main process by the CPU (not shown). Is executed. When game control timer interrupt processing is started in the game control main processing, switch processing, main-side error processing, information output processing, game random number update processing, special symbol process processing, normal symbol process processing, and command control processing are executed.

  In the special symbol process, the value of the special symbol process flag provided in the game control flag setting unit (not shown) is updated according to the progress of the game in the pachinko gaming machine 1, and the first special symbol display 4A or (2) Various processes are selected and executed in order to perform control of the display operation in the special symbol display 4B and setting of the opening / closing operation of the special winning opening in the special variable winning ball apparatus 7 in a predetermined procedure.

  In the special symbol process, the CPU first determines whether or not there has been a first start winning or a second starting winning. If there is a winning, the special symbol display result determination, jackpot type determination, variation pattern A random number value for determination or the like is extracted, and a start winning process is executed for storing (storing) at the highest level of empty entries in the first special figure reservation storage unit or the second special figure reservation storage unit.

  Further, the CPU determines whether or not to start the special game based on the presence or absence of the hold data stored in the first special figure hold storage unit or the second special figure hold storage unit, and the special figure display result. A special decision that determines (predetermines) whether or not the variation display result of a special symbol or production symbol is to be a “hit” based on numerical data indicating a random number for judgment before the variation display result is derived and displayed. The symbol normal process is executed. In other words, the CPU determines whether or not to derive and display the jackpot display result as the display result of the variable display based on the random number value stored when the start winning occurs when starting the variable display of the special figure game. Processing to determine (lottery) is executed.

  Next, a variation pattern setting process for determining a variation pattern as one of a plurality of types, a special symbol variation process for performing a setting for varying a special symbol and a process for measuring an elapsed time after the special symbol starts variation, A special symbol stop process is performed to perform settings for stopping the change of the special symbol and stopping and displaying (deriving) the fixed special symbol. In addition, when the variation display result is “big hit”, the big hit release pre-processing, the big hit open process, the big hit release post-processing, and the big hit end process are performed to open and close the big winning opening in the big hit gaming state.

  Next, the operation of the effect control board (not shown) will be described. First, the effect control CPU starts executing the main process when the power is turned on. When a timer interruption occurs in the main process, a command analysis process, an effect control process, and an effect random number update process are executed.

  In the effect control process, the hold display update process for updating the hold storage display in the first hold storage display area 5D and the second hold storage display area 5U of the display display device 5 to a display corresponding to the storage contents of the hold storage buffer. Execute. Next, according to the value of the effect control process flag, control is performed so that the variation pattern designation command reception waiting process for confirming whether or not the variation pattern designation command is received from the game control microcomputer is started, and the variation of the effect symbol is started. In addition to monitoring the switching timing of each variation state (variation speed) constituting the variation pattern and the end of the variation time according to the process data set in the production symbol variation start process and the production symbol variation start process, Display control of the effect display device 5, output of sound from the speakers 8L, 8R, light emission of the effect LED 9, and drive control of the effect units 300, 500, etc. An effect symbol variation stop process is performed for performing control for deriving and displaying (stop symbol).

  In the big hit display process, after the end of the variation time, the effect display device 5 is controlled to display a screen for notifying the occurrence of the big hit. In the big hit game processing, control during the big hit game is performed. In the big hit end effect process, the effect display device 5 performs display control for notifying the player that the big hit gaming state has ended.

  In this way, the effect control CPU can execute various effects related to the game such as the effect display variable display control and the notice effect based on the effect control command (control information) transmitted from the game control microcomputer. ing.

  Next, based on FIG. 2, the effect board 40 connected to the effect control board mentioned above and the board | substrate case 400 which accommodates this effect board are demonstrated. 2A is a cross-sectional view showing a state where the effect board is housed in the board case, FIG. 2B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA in FIG. 2A, and FIG. 2C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB in FIG. , (D) is a CC cross section of (A). In the following description, it is assumed that the lower side in FIG. 2A is the front side, the upper side is the rear side, the left side is the left side, and the right side is the right side.

  The effect board 40 shown in FIG. 2 is an example of a circuit board connected to the aforementioned effect control board. The effect board 40 is mounted with various electronic components (not shown), and a board-side connector KCN1 is attached to a predetermined position on the back surface. A wiring-side connector HCN1 provided at the other end of the cable C1 whose one end is connected to an electronic component not shown (for example, a light emitter such as an LED, a drive source such as a motor or a solenoid) is attached to and detached from the board-side connector KCN1. The electronic component (not shown) and the effect board 40 are electrically connected by a cable C1. The board-side connector KCN1 is provided on the effect board 40 with the connecting portion directed to the right side.

  In the present embodiment, as an example of the wiring, the cable C1 that is an electric cable for supplying electric power and signals and is a flexible flexible flat cable is illustrated, but the present invention is not limited to this. Instead, it may be a flat cable in which a plurality of coated wires are aligned and fused, a single single wire, a stranded wire, or a twisted pair wire.

  The base member 401 is formed in a box shape in which one surface is opened by a substantially square base plate 401a and a side wall 401b standing forward from the periphery of the base plate 401a. The cover member 402 is formed in a box shape in which one surface is opened by a substantially rectangular base plate 402a and a side wall 402b standing forward from the periphery of the base plate 402a.

  In this way, the base case 401 and the cover member 402 are assembled so that the openings of the base member 401 and the cover member 402 are in contact with each other, and the mounting portions of the base member 401 and the cover member 402 are fastened with screws N1 or the like. The base member 401 and the cover member 402 can be closed.

  In addition, it can be rotated in the mounting direction with a tool such as a screwdriver in place of the screw N1, but is fastened with a conventionally known one-way screw or the like that cannot be rotated in the removing direction, or is peeled off once attached. The substrate case 400 may be sealed so that it cannot be opened without leaving a trace by sticking a seal seal that breaks at a time so as to straddle the base member 401 and the cover member 402.

  A plurality of cylindrical bosses 410 project from the front surface (inner surface) of the base plate 402a of the cover member 402, and screws N2 attached to the effect board 40 are screwed into screw holes formed at the tips of the bosses 410. By doing so, the effect board 40 can be attached to the cover member 402.

Even if it moves so as to bend in the direction of the arrow, the cable C10, C11 is covered with the cover member 313, that is, the portion pressed from the board side connectors KCN10, KCN11 to the effect board 315 side by the wiring holding portion 331. Since the movement is prevented from being transmitted to the portion, the cables C10 and C11 are prevented from moving back and forth easily in the vicinity of the board-side connectors KCN10 and KCN11. In other words, the wiring retainer 331 and the effect board 315 of the cover member 313 prevent release of the connection state between the board-side connectors KCN10 and C11 and the cables C10 and C11 in a state where the rear surface of the effect board 315 is covered. A disconnection preventing means is configured.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 5B, in the cable C11, the cable C11 wired between the board-side connector KCN11 and the wiring pressing portion 331 is close to the back side of the board-side connector KCN10 so as to overlap. Since the rotation of the board-side connector KCN10 in the connection release direction of the board-side connector KCN10 is blocked by the cable C11, the presser member 321 turns in the connection-release direction and the cable C10 is connected to the board-side connector. Removal from KCN10 is suppressed. That is, the board-side connector KCN10 and the cable C11 provided on the effect board 315 are connection release prevention means for preventing the release of the connection state between the board-side connector KCN10 and the cable C10 in a state where the rear surface of the effect board 315 is covered.

  As described above, in the pachinko gaming machine 1 of the present invention, connection release prevention means is provided on a member separate from the production boards 40 and 315 and the cover members 402 and 313, or the connection state is separated from the covering. The cable C1, C10, C11 and the board-side connectors KCN1, KCN10, KCN11 are connected to the effect boards 40, 315 by the cover members 402, 313 by the connection release prevention means without performing the process for preventing the release. The release of the connection state between the cables C1, C10, and C11 can be prevented from being released without taking manufacturing costs and labor.

  2 is brought into contact with the wiring-side connector HCN1 of the cable C1 connected to the board-side connector KCN1, so that the connection state of the wiring-side connector HCN1 with the board-side connector KCN1 is released. Since the restriction portions 411a and 411b restrict the movement in the direction, even if any external force is applied in the direction in which the connection state is released, an unreasonable load is not applied to the wiring, so that disconnection or the like can be suppressed. .

  Further, the connection release preventing means is provided on one of the covering and the circuit board (for example, the cover member 402 / cover member 313), and the cables C1 / C10, C11 are the other (for example, the effect board 40 / the effect board 315). It is preferable that the cables C1 / C10 and C11 move in the direction in which the connection state is released by the presser part (for example, the wiring presser part 420 / wiring presser part 331) that is pressed so as to come close to or abut against Can be suppressed.

  The covering for covering the circuit board includes a base member 401 as a first member and a cover member 402 as a second member. By combining the base member 401 and the cover member 402, an effect board The production board 40 can be suitably protected by being a board case that can accommodate 40 (for example, the board case 400 / the board case 400A / the board case 400B / the board case 400C).

  In addition, the circuit board (for example, the effect board 40 / the effect board) prevents the covering (for example, the cover member 402 / the cover member 313) from touching the wiring (for example, the cable C1 / cables C10 and C11) from the outside. By covering 315), it is possible to prevent any member outside the cover member 402 / cover member 313 from coming into contact with the cables C1 / cables C10 and C11 to release the connection state.

  In this embodiment, the cover member 402 / cover member 313 covers the effect board 40 / effect board 315 so that the cables C1 / cables C10, C11 cannot be touched from the outside. For example, an opening, a hole, or the like may be formed as long as it is not necessarily configured to be able to touch the wiring from the outside as long as it is a covering for covering the circuit board. It may be.

  Next, the rendering unit 500 will be described with reference to FIGS. 9A is a front view showing the outline of the effect unit, and FIG. 9B is a side view showing the outline of the effect unit. FIG. 10 is a diagram illustrating a state of the cable when the movable body moves up and down. FIG. 11 is a view showing an appearance and a mounting state of a plastic plate for guiding a cable. FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a method of processing the remaining portion of the cable.

  Moreover, in the said Example and the modifications 1-3, although the form which applied production boards 40 and 315 was illustrated as an example of a circuit board, the present invention is not limited to this, production control board It may be another effect board (for example, an effect board 304, an LED board, a relay board, or the like) connected to the main board, or various boards connected to the main board. Moreover, although the form which applied the cover members 402 and 313 as a covering body for covering a circuit board was illustrated, this invention is not limited to this, For example, in the movable body in which LED was incorporated, from LED A lens member or the like that diffuses the light may also serve as a covering for covering the circuit board.

  As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the effect unit 500 includes a base 600 disposed between the game board 2 and the effect display device 5 so as not to be visible to the player. The second effect motor 511 for rotating the movable body 501A is attached to a connecting arm 502 extending toward the left part and the right part of the base 600, and the second effect motor 511 is By rotating, the movable body 501A rotates in parallel with the display surface of the effect display device 5 as indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The movable body 501B is attached to the connection arm 502, and is disposed between the movable body 501A and the connection arm 502.

  End portions 503L and 503R of the connecting arm 502 are supported by guide rails 505L and 505R provided on the left and right front surfaces of the base 600 along the vertical direction so as to be movable in the vertical direction. That is, the movable bodies 501A and 501B are guided so as to be movable in the vertical direction along the guide rails 505L and 505R. Further, the left end portion 503L of the connecting arm 502 is provided with an extending portion 504 extending further leftward than the end portion 503L.

  One end of a wire 508 is connected to the right end 503 </ b> R of the connecting arm 502. The wire 508 wraps around the upper end of the right portion of the base 600 and is pulled out to the rear (back side) of the right portion of the base 600, and the other end is provided behind the right portion of the base 600. It is fixed to the take-up pulley 507. Note that guide rollers 509 a and 509 b for guiding the wire 508 are attached to the upper end of the right portion of the base 600.

  A first effect motor 510 and an electromagnetic clutch 520 are arranged behind the right portion of the base 600, and the take-up pulley 507 and the first effect motor 510 can be connected via the electromagnetic clutch 520. It has become. When the take-up pulley 507 and the first effect motor 510 are connected via the electromagnetic clutch 520, the take-up pulley via the electromagnetic clutch 520 is driven by driving the first effect motor 510. The wire 508 can be wound by the winding pulley 507 by rotating the shaft 507. Further, the first effect motor 510 is electromagnetically coupled to the take-up pulley 507 in a state where the movable bodies 501A and 501B are moved to the first position (upper position) by winding the wire 508 by the take-up pulley 507. By maintaining the clutch 520, the right side of the movable body 501A is supported at the first position by the rotational resistance generated in the first effect motor 510.

  A stopper 513 provided with a support piece 513a is provided on the front surface of the left portion of the base 600. The stopper 513 guides the support piece 513a with the movable bodies 501A and 501B disposed at the first position. By projecting toward 505L, the support piece 513a can be arranged below the extended portion 504. Therefore, the left sides of the movable bodies 501A and 501B are supported from below by the support piece 513a of the stopper 513, and the right sides of the movable bodies 501A and 501B are suspended from above by the rotational resistance of the first effect motor 510 described above. Thus, the movable bodies 501A and 501B can maintain the state of being arranged at the first position.

  Connected to the movable body 501A is a cable 701 (for example, a flexible flat cable) for sending a signal or electric power for causing the movable body 501A to perform an effect operation from the effect control board. That is, the cable 701 is a signal line and a power line for causing the movable body 501A to perform an effect operation. In the present embodiment, the cable 701 sends a signal and electric power for driving the second effect motor 511 of the movable body 501A. One end of the cable 701 is bent in a substantially right angle direction at a portion reaching the connecting arm 502 and connected to the movable body 501A. The other end is connected to the effect board 12.

  The cable 701 is inserted in the width direction from the right side of the pressing members 611 and 612, is sandwiched between the pressing members 611 and 612 and the base 600, and is restrained with some play in the thickness direction. The rib 613 prevents the cable 701 from shifting to the right in a state where the cable 701 is sandwiched between the pressing members 611 and 612. The fixing member 614 fixes the cable 701 by being screwed into the base 600. Although not shown, the cable 701 is also fixed to the connecting arm 502 at several places. As shown in FIG. 10, the cable 701 is fixed to the base 600 and the connecting arm 502 so that there is some margin in length even when the movable body 501A falls to the second position (downward position). The

  By attaching the movable body 501B, the connecting arm 502 and the cable 701 are made invisible to the player. Further, the cable 702 sends at least part of the signal and power from the cable 701 to the second effect motor 511. The movable portion of the rendering unit 500 such as the movable bodies 501A and 501B, the connecting arm 502, and the second rendering motor 511 moves downward with respect to the non-movable portion such as the base 600, whereby the cable 701. However, it changes from a state with large deflection to a small state.

  In FIG. 10, the state indicated by the two-dot chain line is a diagram showing a state in which the cable 701 is bent in a bad manner when the movable body 501 </ b> A is in the first position. Referring to FIG. 10, when the movable body 501A is returned from the second position to the first position, if the cable 701 has a bad habit, for example, as shown in part A of the figure, the movable body 501B and It is conceivable that the cable 701 is sandwiched between a movable part and a non-movable part of the rendering unit 500, such as between the pressing member 612.

  In such a case, it is conceivable that the cable 701 will be wrinkled in such a direction that it is easily pinched. Then, every time the movable body 501A moves up and down, the cable 701 is sandwiched and contacted by the movable body 501B and the pressing member 612 many times. As a result, the contact portion of the cable 701 may be damaged. When this happens, a signal or power cannot be sent to the second effect motor 511 for causing the movable body 501A to perform an effect operation, so that the effect operation cannot be performed.

  FIG. 11 is a view showing an appearance and a mounting state of the plastic plate 710 that guides the cable 701. Referring to FIG. 11, as described above, in order to prevent the cable 701 from coming into contact with a predetermined portion of the pachinko gaming machine 1 (here, the movable body 501B and the pressing member 612), the pachinko gaming machine 1 11 or when it is confirmed that the cable 701 has the above-mentioned bad ridges, the plastic plate 710 as shown in FIG. 11A is replaced with the cable as shown in FIG. The pressing members 611 and 612 of 701 are diverted and attached.

  The plastic plate 710 has a flat plate shape (here, a thickness of about 0.3 mm, which may be other thickness), and extends along the cable 701 when attached, and one end of the central portion. An extended portion extending in a direction away from the above-mentioned predetermined portion when attached (about 20 to 30 degrees with respect to the central portion, a bent direction), and extending on the other end side of the central portion And a locking portion extending in the opposite direction. The locking portion includes a bent portion that is hooked (about 90 degrees) on the holding member 611 so that the plastic plate 710 does not move in the direction of the extending portion when the plastic plate 710 is attached.

  The plastic plate 710 is attached so as to be pressed together with the cable 701 by pressing members 611 and 612. The pressing members 611 and 612 hold the plastic plate 710 on the predetermined portion side with respect to the cable 701 being pressed. As a result, the cable 701 can be guided by the extending portion extending in a direction away from the predetermined portion so as not to contact the predetermined portion. Thereby, the malfunction by the cable 701 connected to movable body 501A bending in the direction which is not intended can be suppressed.

  Moreover, since the plastic plate 710 can be prevented from moving with respect to the pressing members 611 and 612 by including the bent portion, the cable 701 is difficult to move with respect to the pressing members 611 and 612. can do.

  FIG. 12 is a diagram illustrating a method for processing the remaining portion of the cable 701. Referring to FIG. 12, cable 701 has a length with some margin for the convenience of routing to each part. For this reason, after the cable 701 is routed to each part and connected to the connector 711 of the effect board 12, a surplus portion is generated in the cable 701 as shown in FIG.

  A surplus portion of the cable 701 is extended in a direction opposite to the connector 711 and the pressing member 615, and a first fold is given to the cable 701 at a portion farthest from the connector 711 and the pressing member 615. Then, as shown in FIG. 12 (B), the first fold portion is folded back to the opposite side, and the fold portion is held by the pressing member 615 so that the first fold portion comes out from the pressing member 615 by several mm. Pass through.

  Then, a second crease is attached to the cable 701 at a portion farthest from the connector 711 and the pressing member 615. This second fold is pressed against the effect board 12 by another electric cable (a flat cable 703 in which a plurality of coated wires are lined up and fused) drawn around the effect board 12.

  On the board such as the production board 12, it is difficult to provide a member for fixing the cable 701 in the portion where the flat cable 703 is routed in this way. However, if the cable 701 is not fixed, there may be a problem that the cable 701 is damaged by contacting an unintended portion.

  As described above, by pressing the cable 701, it is difficult for the cable 701 to be defective, so that the cable 701 can be prevented from moving at a reduced cost. Thereby, the cost for suppressing generation | occurrence | production of a malfunction can be held down.

  The portion pressed by the flat cable 703 is preferably in the vicinity of the connector on the effect board 12 of the flat cable 703. The flat cable 703 is difficult to move in the vicinity of the connector. The cable 701 is pressed by the flat cable 703 that is difficult to move. Thereby, the cable 701 can be pressed stably.

  The flat cable 703 that holds the cable 701 is preferably wide. By pressing the cable 701 with the flat cable 703 having such a wide width, the cable 701 can be stably pressed.

  A wide flat cable may be wide due to the large number of wires, and the number of wires may be the same or small, but the diameter of the conductor portion of each wire is large, and the protective coating or insulator of each wire is thick. It may be wide. Further, the flat cable may not be wide as long as the cable 701 can be stably pressed as described above. For example, the flat cable may be hard to bend by making each wire thick or using a material that is hard to bend for a conductor, an insulator, or a protective coating. The flat cable may be hard by using a hard material for the conductor, insulator or protective coating.
