As a configuration relating to the fixing of both the structural members 101 and 102, there is provided a restricting means for restricting the mutual displacement between the both structural members 101 and 102 only in a specific direction.

  First, the regulating means will be described in detail. In the following description of the regulating means, not only FIG. 9 but also FIG. 10 will be referred to as appropriate. FIG. 10 is an enlarged side view showing a part of the payout control device 82.

  As shown in FIG. 9, a hook portion (locking portion) 111 is integrally formed on the back side structural body 102 as a restricting means. A plurality of hook portions 111 are provided, and these hook portions 111 are arranged along the extending direction of the long side portions (specifically, the upper edge portion and the lower edge portion) of the back side peripheral edge portion 106 facing each other. Are formed at regular intervals. In this case, four hook portions 111 are formed on each of the upper and lower portions, but the number thereof is arbitrary as long as it is plural. The hook portions 111 are all formed to have the same shape, and are all formed to the same size.

  The shape of the hook part 111 will be described in detail. A long side portion of the back side peripheral edge portion 106 of the back side structure 102 is provided with a convex portion 112 formed in a rod shape. The convex part 112 is formed along the long side part, and is formed to stand from the back side peripheral edge part 106 to the front side structural body 101 side. In this case, the projecting dimension (height dimension) of the convex portion 112 from the rear peripheral edge portion 106 is the same as the thickness dimension of the payout control board 91. Note that the protruding dimension of the convex portion 112 from the back side peripheral edge portion 106 may be larger than the thickness dimension of the payout control board 91.

  A plurality of hook portions 111 are formed on the convex portion 112. The hook portion 111 is formed with the convex portion 112 as a base end, and is formed by being bent at an intermediate position so that the free end side extends toward one short side of the back side structure 102, specifically, toward the right edge.

That is, the hook portion 111 is integrally formed with an upright portion 113 standing upright from the convex portion 112 toward the front side structural body 101 and an extending portion 114 extending from the upright portion 113 toward the side edge of the back side structural body 102. .

  The extending portion 114 is separated from the convex portion 112 by the height of the upright portion 113, and a locking groove 115 is formed between the extending portion 114 and the convex portion 112. The locking groove 115 is formed along the extended portion 114 and is opened on the free end side of the extended portion 114.

  A locking receiver 121 is integrally formed on the front side structure 101 so as to correspond to the hook portion 111. The shape of the latch receiver 121 will be described in detail. In the front side peripheral portion 103 of the front side structure 101, a concave portion 122 is integrally formed along the entire side portion corresponding to the convex portion 112 of the back side structure 102. The recessed part 122 is recessed corresponding to the convex part 112 of the back side structure 102. A locking receiver 121 is formed in the concave portion 122 so as to correspond to the hook portion 111 on a one-to-one basis. In other words, four locking receivers 121 are formed on each of the upper and lower sides. However, the specific number is arbitrary as long as it corresponds to the hook part 111 on a one-to-one basis. All the latch receivers 121 have the same shape and size. The locking receiver 121 is configured as a slit that penetrates in the thickness direction of the back side structure 102. The width dimension of the latch receiver 121, that is, the dimension in the direction along the short side portion of the front side peripheral edge 103 of the latch receiver 121 is set to be equal to or slightly larger than the thickness dimension of the hook portion 111. Further, the length dimension of the latch receiver 121, that is, the dimension in the direction along the long side portion of the front peripheral edge 103 of the latch receiver 121 is set to be larger than the length dimension of the extending portion 114.

  As shown in FIG. 10, a receiving portion 123 that closes the slit-shaped locking receiver 121 is provided at one end of the locking receiver 121. The end on the side where the receiving portion 123 is formed corresponds to the free end side of the hook portion 111.

  The receiving portion 123 is formed at an end portion on the back side structural body 102 side in the locking receiver 121. Moreover, the receiving part 123 does not block the entire slit-shaped locking receiver 121 but only a part thereof. And the distance from the edge part in the side in which the receiving part 123 is not formed in the latching receiver 121 to the receiving part 123 is larger than the length dimension of the direction where the extension part 114 of the hook part 111 is extended. Thus, in the configuration in which the receiving portion 123 is formed as described above, the hook portion 111 can be inserted into the locking receiver 121 from the back side of the front side structure 101. The receiving portion 123 is set to a thickness dimension that can enter the locking groove 115 of the hook portion 111.

  In the state where the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 are integrated, as shown in FIG. 10, the hook portion 111 is inserted into the locking receiver 121, and the locking groove 115 of the hook portion 111 is inserted. The receiving part 123 of the locking receiver 121 is inserted in the inside. The receiving portion 123 is in contact with the convex portion 112 and is in contact with the extending portion 114 of the hook portion 111.

  In this case, even if the front-side component 101 and the back-side component 102 are moved and separated in the entering direction of the receiving portion 123 with respect to the locking groove 115, the receiving portion 123 is provided on the standing portion 113 of the back-side constituting body 102. It is regulated by contacting. Further, even if the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 are to be separated in the thickness direction of the substrate box 92, the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 are restricted by the contact between the hook portion 111 and the receiving portion 123. Further, the convex portion 112 is fitted into the concave portion 122. The hook portion 111 is in a state of being fitted into the locking receiver 121. Therefore, even if the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 are moved in the vertical direction to be separated, the convex portion 112 and the hook portion 111 come into contact with the concave portion 122 and the locking receiver 121 so that the movement is restricted. Is done. That is, the direction in which the front side structure 101 and the back side structure are separated by the hook portion 111 and the locking receiver 121 is the direction in which the receiving portion 123 is extracted from the locking groove 115, that is, one short side of the substrate box 92. It is regulated on the side.

  In particular, a plurality of combinations of the hook portion 111 and the locking receiver 121 are provided on both long side portions of the substrate box 92, and further, these combinations are substantially the same in the length direction of each long side portion. It is performed at positions dispersed throughout. Therefore, the above regulations are strictly enforced.

  Next, the assembling work of the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 by the restriction means will be described with reference to FIG. FIGS. 11A to 11C are explanatory views for explaining the assembly work of the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102.

  When the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 are fixed to each other, the hook portion 111 is first engaged from the back side of the front-side structure 101 so that the state shown in FIG. 11A is changed to the state shown in FIG. Insert into the catch 121. In this case, the free end of the hook part 111 faces the receiving part 123 side in the inserted locking receiver 121. Further, in this state, the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 are not completely overlapped but are shifted in the left-right direction.

  After that, by sliding at least one of the front-side structure 101 or the back-side structure 102 in a direction in which both the structures 101 and 102 completely overlap, as shown in FIG. The receiving portion 123 of the locking receiver 121 enters the working groove 115. Thereby, the moving direction of the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 is regulated so that it can move only in the direction in which the receiving portion 123 is removed from the locking groove 115. And in the said state, the 1st fixing | fixed part 131, the 2nd fixing | fixed part 132, and the 3rd fixing | fixed part 133 which fix the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 mutually are provided.

  Each fixed part 131,132,133 and its peripheral structure are demonstrated using FIGS. 7-9, FIG.12 and FIG.13. 12A is an enlarged view of the configuration around the fixed portions 131 and 132 as viewed from the front side, and FIG. 12B is an enlarged view of the configuration around the fixed portions 131 and 132 as viewed from the back side. FIG. 13A is a cross-sectional view taken along line AA, and FIG. 13B is a cross-sectional view taken along line BB.

  The 1st fixing | fixed part 131, the 2nd fixing | fixed part 132, and the 3rd fixing | fixed part 133 fix the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 using a different kind of fixing tool, respectively.

  As shown in FIG. 9, the first fixing portion 131 includes a first front side coupling portion 141 provided in the front side configuration body 101 and a first back side coupling portion 142 provided in the back side configuration body 102. The first front side coupling portion 141 is disposed on the periphery of the front side structure 101, and the first back side coupling portion 142 is disposed on the periphery of the back side structure 102. The first front-side coupling portion 141 and the first back-side coupling portion 142 are arranged in the front-back direction. As shown in FIG. 13A, in the state where the front-side configuration body 101 and the back-side configuration body 102 overlap each other, The front side coupling portion 141 and the first back side coupling portion 142 overlap each other. The first front side coupling portion 141 has a bottomed cylindrical shape that opens on the opposite side of the first back side coupling portion 142, and has a bottom portion 143 on the first back side coupling portion 142 side. The bottom portion 143 is provided with a through hole 144 penetrating to the first back side coupling portion 142 side. The hole diameter of the through hole 144 is smaller than the inner diameter of the first front side coupling portion 141. A screw hole 145 is formed in the first back side coupling portion 142 corresponding to the through hole 144. In a state where the first front side coupling portion 141 and the first back side coupling portion 142 are overlapped, the screw hole 145 is disposed on the same axis line of the through hole 144. A breaking screw 146 is screwed into the through hole 144 and the screw hole 145 from the opening side of the first front side coupling portion 141.

  The breaking screw 146 includes a shaft portion 147 in which a thread groove is formed, and a head portion 148 that is formed at the base end portion of the shaft portion 147 and is formed with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the shaft portion 147. ing. When the breaking screw 146 is screwed into the screw hole 145, the head 148 and the peripheral edge of the through hole 144 are in contact with each other. Thus, the first front side coupling portion 141 is sandwiched between the head portion 148 and the first back side coupling portion 142. Accordingly, since the first front side coupling portion 141 and the first back side coupling portion 142 are fixed, the front side configuration body 101 and the back side configuration body 102 are fixed.

  Next, the 2nd fixing | fixed part 132 is demonstrated using FIG.9 and FIG.13 (b). As shown in FIG. 9, the second fixing portion 132 includes a second front side coupling portion 151 provided on the front side configuration body 101 and a second back side coupling portion 152 provided on the back side configuration body 102. The second front side coupling portion 151 is disposed on the periphery of the front side structure 101 similarly to the first front side coupling portion 141, and the second back side coupling portion 152 is the periphery of the back side structure 102 similarly to the first back side coupling portion 142. Is arranged. As shown in FIG. 13B, the second front side coupling portion 151 and the second back side coupling portion 152 are arranged in the front and back direction, and in the state where the front side configuration body 101 and the back side configuration body 102 overlap each other, The front side coupling portion 151 and the second back side coupling portion 152 overlap each other. The 2nd front side coupling | bond part 151 is equipped with the through-hole 153 penetrated to the 2nd back side coupling | bond part 152 side, and has comprised the cylindrical shape as a whole. A concave portion 154 is formed in the second back side coupling portion 152 corresponding to the through hole 153. The concave portion 154 opens to the second front side coupling portion 151 side, and is disposed on the same axis line so as to communicate with the through hole 153 in a state where the second front side coupling portion 151 and the second back side coupling portion 152 overlap each other. ing. A coupling pin 155 as a fixture is inserted into the through hole 153 and the recess 154 from the opposite side of the second front side coupling portion 151 to the second back side coupling portion 152.

  The coupling pin 155 will be described in detail. The coupling pin 155 has a cylindrical shape as a whole as shown in FIG. The coupling pin 155 has a cylindrical pin main body 156 and a head 157 provided at the proximal end of the pin main body 156. The pin body 156 is set to be approximately the same as or slightly smaller than the size of the through hole 153 and the recess 154. Thereby, as shown in FIG.13 (b), the pin main body 156 can be inserted with respect to the combination of the through-hole 153 and the recessed part 154. FIG. In the state where the coupling pin 155 is inserted, when at least one of the front side structure 101 or the back side structure 102 is slid in the direction in which the receiving portion 123 is removed from the locking groove 115, the front side structure 101 and the back side Since the structure 102 abuts on the coupling pin 155, the movement is restricted. Therefore, fixation of the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 is implement | achieved.

  The pin body 156 is provided with a latching claw portion 158 that can be elastically deformed. The locking claw portion 158 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface of the pin body 156. The locking claw portion 158 is formed so that the protruding amount from the outer peripheral surface of the pin main body 156 increases toward the head portion 157 side. Corresponding to the locking claw 158, a locking receiver formed by enlarging a part of the inner peripheral surface of the recess 154 on the second front side coupling portion 151 side of the recess 154, that is, on the opening side of the recess 154. A space portion 159 is provided. The locking receiving space 159 is formed by expanding the inner peripheral surface of the recess 154 by the dimension that the locking claw 158 protrudes from the outer periphery of the pin body 156. As a result, in a state where the coupling pin 155 is inserted, the locking claw portion 158 rises in the locking receiving space portion 159, and therefore the surface on the head 157 side of the locking claw portion 158 is connected to the second front side coupling. The portion 151 is locked to the surface on the second back side coupling portion 152 side. Thereby, the dropout of the coupling pin 155 is suppressed. Note that at least one locking claw 158 may be provided, and the number thereof is arbitrary.

  A notch 160 is formed around the locking claw 158 so that the locking claw 158 can pass through the through hole 153. The notch 160 is formed so as to leave the proximal end of the pin main body 156 in the periphery of the locking claw 158. That is, the locking claw 158 is formed with the end on the head 157 side as a fixed end and the end opposite to the end on the head 157 side as a free end. That is, the locking claw portion 158 is bent by applying pressure. As a result, the locking claw portion 158 protrudes outward from the outer periphery of the pin body 156 in a natural state where no external pressure is applied, while pressing the locking claw portion 158 inward. The locking claw portion 158 has a structure that can be immersed in the pin body 156.

  When the pin body 156 of the coupling pin 155 is inserted into the combination of the through hole 153 and the recess 154, the outer diameter of the pin body 156 and the hole diameter of the through hole 153 are substantially the same. The locking claw portion 158 protruding outward from the outer periphery is pressed by the inner peripheral surface of the second front side coupling portion 151. Thereby, the latching claw part 158 is immersed inside the pin main body 156 with elastic deformation. When the locking claw portion 158 reaches the locking receiving space portion 159, the locking claw portion 158 rises, and the surface on the head 157 side of the locking claw portion 158 is the second of the second front side coupling portion 151. It is locked to the surface on the back side coupling portion 152 side. As a result, it is possible to prevent the coupling pin 155 from falling off.

  Under the locked state of the coupling pin 155 and the second front side coupling portion 151, the head 157 is in contact with the second front side coupling portion 151 as shown in FIG. Specifically, since the head 157 is formed with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the pin main body 156, a step surface 161 is formed between the head 157 and the pin main body 156. The step surface 161 is in contact with the peripheral edge of the through hole 153. Here, the peripheral surface of the through hole 153 that is in contact with the step surface 161 is referred to as a contact surface 162. In the second front side coupling portion 151, the distance from the contact surface 162 to the surface on the second back side coupling portion 152 side is the distance from the step surface 161 to the end surface on the head 157 side of the locking claw portion 158 in the coupling pin 155. It is set to be the same. Thereby, since a clearance gap is not formed between the head 157 and the 2nd front side coupling | bond part 151, a cheating can be suppressed from a clearance gap.

  The contact surface 162 is formed to be offset from the end surface of the second front side coupling portion 151 opposite to the second back side coupling portion 152 side to the second back side coupling portion 152 side. Specifically, a head accommodating portion 163 that is enlarged in a step shape with respect to the through hole 153 is formed on the insertion port side of the coupling pin 155 in the through hole 153 of the second front side coupling portion 151. A step surface formed between the head accommodating portion 163 and the through hole 153 serves as a contact surface 162. The head accommodating portion 163 is provided on the same axis as the through hole 153. The height dimension of the head accommodating portion 163 is set to be approximately the same as or slightly larger than the axial dimension of the head portion 157, and the inner diameter of the head accommodating portion 163 is the same as or larger than the outer diameter of the head portion 157. Is set slightly larger. Thereby, the contact surface 162 is disposed at a position offset toward the second back side coupling portion 152 by the dimension of the head portion 157 in the axial direction. In such a case, since the head 157 is accommodated in the head accommodating portion 163 without any gap, it is difficult to grasp the head 157. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an illegal act of gripping and pulling out the head 157.

  These fixed portions 131 and 132 are juxtaposed along the short side portion of one of the substrate boxes 92 as shown in FIG. The 1st fixing | fixed part 131 is provided in the intermediate part of the said short side part, and the 2nd 2nd fixing | fixed part 132 is arrange | positioned at the both sides, respectively. In other words, the first fixing portion 131 is disposed so as to be sandwiched between the second fixing portions 132. Accordingly, since the first fixing portion 131 prevents the front-side structural body 101 from being lifted with respect to the back-side structural body 102, generation of gaps at both ends of the structural bodies 101 and 102 can be suitably suppressed.

  In addition, since a plurality of the second fixing portions 132 are provided, the second fixing portions 132 can be fixed again by using another second fixing portion 132 instead of the second fixing portion 132 that has been used once. In addition, it is not necessary to use a tool etc. especially regarding the attachment work of the connecting pin 155 in the 2nd fixing | fixed part 132. FIG. Therefore, re-fixing can be easily performed.

  As shown in FIG. 8 and the like, the third fixing portion 133 is provided on another short side portion different from one short side portion of the substrate box 92 on which the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 132 are provided. It has been. The third fixing portion 133 is formed of a through hole provided in the front side structure 101 and a screw hole provided in the back side structure 102 and communicating with the through hole. It is fixed by inserting a screw. Thereby, the floating of the front side structure 101 with respect to the back side structure 102 is suppressed. In other words, the long side portion of the substrate box 92 is provided on the front side with respect to the back side structure 102 by the hook portions 111 and the like provided on the long side portions, and the short side portion by the first fixing portion 131 and the third fixing portion 133. The floating of the structure 101 is suppressed. In other words, it is difficult to form a gap between the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 on the entire periphery of the peripheral edge of the substrate box 92.

  Next, the attachment state of the 1st fixing | fixed part 131 and the 2nd fixing | fixed part 132 with respect to the board | substrate box 92 is demonstrated.

The return wall portion 187 is formed so that the inner surface of the return wall portion 187 and the outer surface of the front side surrounding wall portion 183 are in contact with each other. Thereby, the position of the front side structure 101 with respect to the back side structure 102 is defined. Therefore, the front side structure 101 can be easily arranged at a predetermined position.

  Further, since the return wall portion 187 stands on the front side surrounding wall portion 183 side, the boundary between the front side surrounding wall portion 183 and the back side surrounding wall portion 182 is covered by the return wall portion 187. Thereby, since it is difficult to perform an illegal act on the boundary, the illegal act can be suppressed.

  Between the 2nd front side coupling | bond part 151 and the front side surrounding wall part 183, as shown to Fig.12 (a), the 4th connection part 188 which connects the 2nd front side coupling | bond part 151 and the front side surrounding wall part 183 is provided. It has been. The front side wall portion 183 is integrally formed with the second front side coupling portion 151 via the fourth connecting portion 188. That is, the front side wall portion 183 is supported by the fourth connecting portion 188 with respect to the second front side coupling portion 151. Therefore, since the front side wall portion 183 is difficult to bend, the front side wall portion 183 and the back side wall portion 182 and the front side wall portion 183 and the return wall portion are bent by bending the front side wall portion 183. It is possible to suppress an illegal act of forming a gap between 187 and inserting an illegal jig through the gap.

  The fourth connecting portion 188 has a plate shape extending in the front and back direction like the first connecting portion 174 and the second connecting portion 175, and has a width dimension so that it can be easily cut by a tool such as a nipper or a cutter. It is set small. The second front side coupling portion 151 is detached from the front side structural body 101 together with the coupling pins 155 by cutting the second coupling portion 175 and the fourth coupling portion 188. Thereby, the front side structure 101 can be slid with respect to the back side structure 102. Therefore, the substrate box 92 can be opened, and the cut portions of the second connecting portion 175 and the fourth connecting portion 188 remain as opening history.

  A wall connecting portion 189 that connects the front-side surrounding wall portion 183 and the mounting wall portion 173 is provided on one short side portion of the substrate box 92. The wall connecting portion 189 has a plate shape extending in a direction orthogonal to the front and back directions. The wall connecting portion 189 is formed around the first front side connecting portion 141 and the first connecting portion 174. Specifically, the wall connecting portion 189 has a shape obtained by cutting out a region surrounded by the first front side connecting portion 141 and the first connecting portion 174. Thereby, the wall connecting part 189 on the mounting wall part 173 side where the first connecting part 174 is provided is separated into two parts and is thinner than the front side surrounding wall part 183 side. Therefore, the location on the side of the mounting wall 173 in the wall connecting portion 189 is easy to cut.

  Since the wall connecting portion 189 connects the mounting wall portion 173 and the front side surrounding wall portion 183, the front side surrounding wall portion 183 is supported by the wall connecting portion 189 with respect to the mounting wall portion 173. Thereby, the bending deformation of the front side surrounding wall part 183 is suppressed. Therefore, generation | occurrence | production of the clearance gap by bending deformation can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 7 and FIG. 12A, the front side surrounding wall portion 183 is provided with a cutting portion 190 so as to partition the region of the front side surrounding wall portion 183. The cutting portions 190 are formed on both sides of the connecting portion between the wall connecting portion 189 and the front side surrounding wall portion 183. The cutting part 190 is formed by arranging a large number (or a plurality) of through holes penetrating the front side wall part 183 inward and outward in parallel. Thereby, in the front side surrounding wall part 183, the cutting part 190 becomes easy to cut | disconnect compared with another location.

  When the 1st connection part 174 is cut | disconnected, the connection with the 1st fixing | fixed part 131 and the front side structure 101 is cancelled | released in the state in which fixation of the 1st fixing | fixed part 131 was maintained. In this case, when the front side structure 101 is slid with respect to the back side structure 102, the first front side coupling part 141 and the wall connecting part 189 come into contact with each other. Thereby, the said slide movement is controlled. That is, even when the first connecting portion 174 is cut, the slide movement is restricted by the wall connecting portion 189. This restricted state is released by cutting the attachment wall portion 173 side of the wall connecting portion 189 and cutting the cutting portion 190. As a result, a large number of cuts are required to open the substrate box 92, and a large number of cut portions remain. Therefore, it takes time to open the substrate box 92, and many cutting points are formed as opening history. Therefore, unauthorized opening of the board box 92 can be suppressed and the opening can be easily found.

  In addition, since the first fixing unit 131 suppresses the floating of the front-side component 101 with respect to the back-side component 102, the first fixing unit 131 is likely to be a target of fraud. On the other hand, since the wall connecting portion 189 is formed to cover the periphery of the first front side coupling portion 141, the first back side coupling portion 142, the first front side coupling portion 141, and the first back side coupling portion 142 It is difficult to insert a fraudulent jig into the boundary. Thereby, the fraudulent act with respect to the 1st back side coupling | bond part 142 and the boundary of the 1st front side coupling | bond part 141 and the 1st back side coupling | bond part 142 can be suppressed.

  Next, a flow of work for fixing the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 14 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a flow of work for fixing the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102.

  The front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 are fixed by being overlapped with each other and inserting a breaking screw 146 into the first fixing part 131 and inserting a coupling pin 155 into the second fixing part 132. The

  First, as shown in FIG. 14 (a), as described above, the hook portion 111 is inserted into the locking receiver 121, and at least one of the front-side structural body 101 or the back-side structural body 102 is inserted into the both structural bodies 101, 102. Slide it in the direction of complete overlap. Then, as shown in FIG. 14B, the outer surface of the front-side surrounding wall portion 183 and the inner surface of the return wall portion 187 come into contact with each other. In such a state, the through hole 144 provided in the first front side coupling portion 141 and the screw hole 145 provided in the first back side coupling portion 142 communicate with each other and are provided in the second front side coupling portion 151. The through hole 153 communicates with the recess 154 provided in the second back side coupling portion 152.

  In this state, the breaking screw 146 is inserted into the combination of the through hole 144 and the screw hole 145, and the coupling pin 155 is inserted into the combination of the through hole 153 and the recess 154. Then, the breaking screw 146 is screwed, and the coupling pin 155 is inserted to a position where it is locked with the second front side coupling portion 151. Thereby, as shown in FIG.14 (c), the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 will be in a fixed state.

  Next, the release of the fixed state of the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 15 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a work flow when the fixing of the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 is released.

  When releasing the fixed state of the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102, the first front side coupling portion 141 is separated from the front side configuration body 101 and the second front side coupling portion 151 is separated from the front side configuration body 101.

  First, as shown in FIG. 15A, for the first fixing portion 131, the first connecting portion 174 is cut, and the location on the mounting wall portion 173 side of the wall connecting portion 189 and the cutting portion 190 are replaced with a nipper or a cutter. Cut with a tool such as Thereby, the slide movement of the front side structural body 101 or the back side structural body 102 is not hindered by the first fixing portion 131, and the cut portion remains as an opening history.

  In this case, since the first connecting portion 174, the wall connecting portion 189, and the cutting portion 190, which are objects to be cut, are provided in the front side connecting region 186, it is not necessary to insert a tool into the back side connecting region 184. Therefore, the cutting operation can be easily performed.

  Next, with respect to the second fixing portion 132, the second connecting portion 175 and the fourth connecting portion 188 in the second front side connecting portion 151 in which the connecting pin 155 is inserted are cut with a tool such as a nipper or a cutter. Only the tip of the pin body 156 of the coupling pin 155 is inserted into the second back side coupling part 152, and since these are not in any locked state, as shown in FIG. By cutting the portion 175 and the fourth connecting portion 188, the second front side coupling portion 151 and the coupling pin 155 are easily pulled out from the front side structure 101. Thereby, the sliding movement of the front side structural body 101 or the back side structural body 102 is not inhibited by the second fixing portion 132. The pulled-out second front side coupling portion 151 and the coupling pin 155 can be easily separated by pressing the locking claw portion 158 of the coupling pin 155 with a finger or a tool or the like so as to be immersed inside. The separated coupling pin 155 is not deformed or broken at all, and the same coupling pin 155 is used for the next coupling.

  Thereafter, at least one of the front side structural body 101 or the back side structural body 102 is slid in the direction regulated by the hook portion 111 and the locking receiver 121. Thereby, the latching state of the hook part 111 and the latching receiver 121 is cancelled | released. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 15C, the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 are separated in the front-back direction, so that the structures 101 and 102 are completely separated. In this case, since each said connection part 174, 175, 188, 189 and the cutting part 190 are cut | disconnected, the front side structure is confirmed by confirming the cutting | disconnection location of each said connection part 174, 175, 188, 189 and the cutting part 190. It is possible to confirm whether or not the body 101 and the back side structure 102 are separated.

  Here, for the purpose of obtaining an illegal profit, there is a possibility that an illegal act is performed on the coupling portion or the vicinity thereof in order to release the fixed state of the board box 92. Further, there are cases where skillful fraudulent acts such as making the traces of the fraudulent acts inconspicuous and avoiding early detection of the fraudulent acts are performed. On the other hand, a cover member 191 that covers the coupling portion is attached to the substrate box 92.

<About the cover member 191>
The configuration of the substrate box 92 to which the cover member 191 is attached will be described with reference to FIGS. 16 is a perspective view of the substrate box 92 to which the cover member 191 is attached, FIG. 17A is a perspective view of the cover member 191, and FIG. 17B is a plan view of the cover member 191. 17C is a cross-sectional view taken along the line C-C, FIG. 18A is a plan view showing the peripheral configuration of the cover member 191, and FIG. 18B is the peripheral configuration of the cover member 191. 19A is a cross-sectional view taken along the line DD, FIG. 19B is a cross-sectional view taken along the line EE, and FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line FF.

  As shown in FIG. 16, a cover member 191 is attached to the short side portion of 1 of the substrate box 92. The cover member 191 is formed of a colorless and transparent polycarbonate resin, and the inside can be visually confirmed. Note that the material for forming the cover member 191 is not limited to this, and may be an acrylic resin or the like. In short, it may be formed of a transparent member.

  The cover member 191 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape as shown in FIG. The cover member 191 is provided with an opening 192 that opens in a predetermined direction, as shown in FIG. The opening 192 is formed in a size that allows the enclosure 179 to be inserted, and is attached to the substrate box 92 by sliding the cover member 191 in a predetermined direction. When the opening 192 is attached to the substrate box 92, the opening 192 defines side walls (specifically, the front side defining wall portion 171, the back side defining wall portion 172, and the bulging regulating wall portion 185) that define the internal space of the substrate box 92. ).

  The cover member 191 includes a front cover portion 193 that covers the front side of the front side coupling region 186, a rear cover portion 194 that is substantially parallel to the front cover portion 193 and covers the base portion 180 from the outside, the front cover portion 193, and the rear cover. A side cover portion 195 that is substantially orthogonal to the portion 194 and covers the front-side surrounding wall portion 183 and the back-side surrounding wall portion 182. As a result, a surrounding portion 179 is accommodated in a region formed by the cover portions 193, 194, 195. That is, the cover member 191 is formed so as to surround the entire circumference of the surrounding portion 179. Therefore, the fixing portions 131 and 132 and the cut portions accommodated in the surrounding portion 179 are covered with the cover member 191.

  Each cover part 193,194,195 is demonstrated in detail. First, the front cover portion 193 will be described. The front cover portion 193 is formed in a plate shape and covers the front side of the front side coupling region 186 as shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 19, the surface cover portion 193 and the front-side surrounding wall portion 183 are in contact with each other, and the surface cover portion 193 and the mounting wall portion 173 are in contact with each other. Accordingly, the fixing portions 131 and 132 are accommodated in a closed space formed by the front side defining wall portion 171, the back side defining wall portion 172, the mounting wall portion 173, the surrounding portion 179, and the surface cover portion 193. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the fraudulent act on the joint location, and when performing the cheating on the joint location, some traces are formed on the surface cover portion 193 or the surrounding portion 179, so Can be easily discovered.

  In particular, with respect to the front side coupling region 186, a wall portion that defines the front side coupling region 186 is not provided on the front side of the substrate box 92 due to insertion and cutting operations of the breaking screw 146 and the coupling pin 155. In other words, the surrounding portion 179 that defines the area for accommodating the first fixing portion 131 and the second fixing portion 132 is open to the front side. Thereby, although the said operation | work can be performed easily, it is easy to perform an illegal act with respect to the said coupling | bond part. On the other hand, the front side of the front side coupling region 186 is covered by the cover member 191, and the cover wall 191 and the mounting wall portion 173 that forms the front side coupling region 186 and the front side surrounding wall portion 183 come into contact with each other. Is formed. In other words, the opening of the enclosure part 179 is closed, and the enclosure part 179 and the cover member 191 form a closed space. The fixing portions 131 and 132 are accommodated in the closed space. Thereby, since it becomes difficult to perform the illegal act with respect to a joint location (each fixing | fixed part 131,132), the said illegal act can be suppressed. In addition, even if an illegal act is performed on the joint location, since the trace remains on the cover member 191, the act can be easily found.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19 and the like, the back surface of the front cover portion 193, that is, the inner side surface 196 of the front cover portion 193 is formed flat. Moreover, the upper end of the surrounding wall part 181 (specifically front side surrounding wall part 183) exists on the same horizontal surface. Thereby, it is difficult to form a gap between the front cover portion 193 and the surrounding wall portion 181. Therefore, it is possible to suitably suppress the insertion of an unauthorized jig from these gaps.

  In particular, as shown in FIG. 19A, the opening of the first front side coupling portion 141 is closed by the cover member 191. As a result, it is difficult for an illegal act to be performed on the breaking screw 146. Therefore, the cheating can be suppressed.

  Further, as shown in FIG. 19B, the opening of the second front side coupling portion 151 is also closed by the cover member 191 in the second front side coupling portion 151, similarly to the first front side coupling portion 141. As a result, it is difficult for the head 157 to be cheated. Therefore, cheating on the head 157 can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the surface cover portion 193 additionally covers from the mounting wall portion 173 to the bulging regulation wall portion 185 of the bulging portion 104. That is, the front cover portion 193 covers and covers the front side coupling region 186 in the sliding direction. This makes it difficult to access the boundary between the surface cover portion 193 and the mounting wall portion 173. Therefore, the illegal act with respect to the boundary of the attachment wall part 173 and the surface cover part 193 is suppressed more suitably. In addition, since the front cover portion 193 covers and covers the front side coupling region 186 in the sliding direction, a gap is formed between the mounting wall portion 173 and the front cover portion 193 even if the cover member 191 is bent. It is hard to be done. Therefore, the cover member 191 is bent to form a gap, and an illegal act of inserting an unauthorized jig from the gap can be suppressed.

  Furthermore, since the surface cover portion 193 is formed so as to contact the bulging regulation wall portion 185, a gap is hardly formed between the surface cover portion 193 and the bulging portion 104. Thereby, the penetration | invasion of the unauthorized jig | tool from the said clearance gap can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the back cover part 194 has a plate shape substantially parallel to the front cover part 193 and is formed so as to cover the outside of the base part 180. Specifically, the back cover portion 194 is provided such that the surface of the back cover portion 194 on the front side structure 101 side, that is, the inner surface of the back cover portion 194 contacts the outer surface of the base portion 180. That is, the back surface cover portion 194 is disposed at a position separated from the front surface cover portion 193 by a dimension in the front and back direction of the surrounding wall portion 181, and the surrounding wall portion 181 is formed by the front surface cover portion 193 and the back surface cover portion 194. It is arranged in the sandwiched area. In addition, the front side wall portion 183 is integrally formed with the front side structure 101, and the back side wall portion 182 is formed integrally with the back side structure 102. As a result, even if at least one of the front-side structure 101 or the back-side structure 102 is moved in the front-back direction, the movement is caused by the contact between the front-side surrounding wall part 183 and the surface cover part 193 or the back-side surrounding wall part 182. It is regulated by contact with the back cover portion 194. Therefore, when the substrate box 92 is opened, the cover member 191 needs to be removed, so that the act of opening the substrate box 92 is complicated. Therefore, since the illegal opening act of the board box 92 can be troublesome, the illegal act can be suitably suppressed. Even if the board box 92 is illegally opened, at least one of the board box 92 and the cover member 191 has a broken portion, so that it is easy to perform an illegal opening act. Can be found in.

  Here, in the state separated from the first fixing portion 131, the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 are easily lifted, and a gap is easily formed between the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102. Yes. On the other hand, since the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 are sandwiched between the front cover part 193 and the back-surface cover part 194, the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 are lifted with respect to the other. Is suppressed. Thereby, it is hard to form a clearance gap between the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102. Therefore, fraudulent acts from the gap can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 18B, the back cover part 194 has a shape corresponding to the shape of each back side coupling part 142, 152. Specifically, the back side coupling portions 142 and 152 protrude from the base portion 180 in the direction opposite to the front side coupling portions 141 and 151, and the back cover portion 194 protrudes from the base portion 180. 142 and 152 are formed along the outer periphery. Accordingly, when the cover member 191 is moved in the long side direction and the short side direction of the substrate box 92, the area of the back cover part 194 that contacts the back side coupling parts 142 and 152 increases. Thereby, the said movement can be controlled more suitably.

  As shown in FIG. 19, the side cover portion 195 includes the return wall portion 187 that is a part of the back side surrounding wall portion 182 so as to cover the outside of the back side surrounding wall portion 182 and the front side surrounding wall portion 183, and It is formed along each of the walls 182 and 183. The side cover part 195 is formed so that the outer surface of each of the wall parts 182 and 183 and the inner surface of the side cover part 195 are in contact with each other. Thereby, each wall part 182 and 183 is covered from the outer side by the side surface cover part 195, without forming a clearance gap. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the insertion of an unauthorized jig from the gap.

  In particular, a gap between the return wall portion 187 and the front side surrounding wall portion 183 is covered by the side surface cover portion 195. Thereby, since it is difficult to insert the fraudulent jig from the gap, the fraud can be suitably suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the side cover part 195 is formed so as to abut on the back side defining wall part 172. Thereby, since it is hard to produce a clearance gap between the cover member 191 and these wall parts, the penetration | invasion of the unauthorized jig | tool from the said clearance gap can be suppressed.

  Next, fixing of the cover member 191 to the substrate box 92 will be described.

  As described above, the cover member 191 is formed so as to surround the entire circumference of the surrounding portion 179. The cover member 191 is formed with an opening 192 through which the surrounding portion 179 can be inserted in the direction in which the hooked portion 111 and the locking receiver 121 are unlocked. Thereby, since the cover member 191 is attached to the board box 92 through the opening 192, the attachment direction and the removal direction of the cover member 191 are defined as one direction. And in this state, the movement to a removal direction is controlled by inserting the attachment pin 202 as a fixing tool. As a result, the cover member 191 is fixed to the substrate box 92.

  The insertion of the mounting pin 202 will be described. As shown in FIG. 17B and the like, two through holes 201 are formed in the surface cover portion 193. The through hole 201 has substantially the same diameter as the through hole 153 of the second front side coupling portion 151 and penetrates in the front and back direction. In a state in which the cover member 191 is attached to the substrate box 92, the through hole 201 and the through hole 153 communicate with each other as shown in FIG. A mounting pin 202 is inserted into the through holes 153 and 201.

  The mounting pin 202 has a pin main body 203, a head portion 204, a locking claw portion 205, and a step surface 206, similar to the coupling pin 155. The pin body 203 has a size that can be inserted into the through hole 201 of the cover member 191. In a state where the pin body 203 is inserted into the through holes 201 and 153 and the recess 154 with which the pin body 203 is communicated, the cover member 191 and the mounting pin 202 abut even if the cover member 191 is moved in the removal direction. This movement is restricted. Specifically, the inner peripheral surface of the through hole 201 and the pin body 203 abut. Thereby, the movement of the removal direction of the cover member 191 is regulated. Therefore, the cover member 191 is attached to the board box 92 in a state where it cannot be detached or difficult to remove. In such a state, the sliding movement of the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 is also restricted by the mounting pin 202. That is, by inserting the attachment pin 202, the cover member 191 is attached to the board box 92, and the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 are coupled to each other. In other words, the second fixing portion 132 is also used as an attachment portion for attaching the cover member 191 to the board box 92. Thereby, while simplifying a structure, the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 can be combined more firmly.

  In such a state, the locking claw portion 205 is locked to the second front side coupling portion 151. Specifically, the locking claw portion 205 is formed so as to protrude outward from the outer peripheral surface of the pin main body 203, and is further formed so that the protruding amount increases toward the head 204 side. The surface on the head 204 side of the locking claw portion 205 is locked to the second front side coupling portion 151. Thereby, the latching claw part 205 is restrained from pulling out the mounting pin 202.

  In addition, since a notch is formed around the locking claw part 205 except for an end on the opposite side to the head 204 so that the locking claw part 205 can pass through the through-hole 201 and the like. In the latching claw portion 205, an end portion on the opposite side to the head portion 204 is a fixed end, and an end portion on the head portion 204 side is a free end. Thereby, the latching claw part 205 can be immersed inside the pin main body 203 by pressing the latching claw part 205.

  The attachment pin 202 is formed so that the head portion 204 comes into contact with the cover member 191. Specifically, the head portion 204 is formed larger than the outer diameter of the through hole 201 so as not to pass through the through hole 201. Thereby, an annular step surface 206 is formed between the head 204 and the through hole 201. Then, with respect to the length dimension Ya1 (see FIG. 19B) from the stepped surface 161 of the coupling pin 155 to the end of the locking claw 158 on the head 157 side, the stepped surface 206 of the mounting pin 202 is engaged. The length dimension Yb1 to the end part on the head 204 side of the pawl part 205 is a dimension Yc obtained by combining the thickness dimension of the surface cover part 193 and the height dimension of the head accommodating part 163 of the second front side coupling part 151. Only set larger. The axial length dimension Yb2 of the pin main body 203 of the mounting pin 202 with respect to the axial length dimension Ya2 of the pin main body 156 of the coupling pin 155 is the surface cover portion 193. Is set larger by the dimension Yc, which is the sum of the thickness dimension and the height dimension of the head accommodating part 163 of the second front side coupling part 151. Thereby, in a state where the locking claw portion 205 is locked to the second front side coupling portion 151, the step surface 206 and the annular pin receiving surface 207 provided at the peripheral edge of the through hole 201 come into contact with each other. ing. Thereby, the cover member 191 and the front side structural body 101 are sandwiched between the head portion 204 and the locking claw portion 205. Therefore, the lift of the cover member 191 with respect to the substrate box 92 is suppressed.

  As shown in FIGS. 18A and 20, a head accommodating portion 208 that accommodates the head 204 is provided on the periphery of the pin receiving surface 207. The head accommodating portion 208 has a cylindrical shape and is formed on the same axis as the through hole 201. The head accommodating portion 208 is formed corresponding to the shape of the head portion 204 of the mounting pin 202. Specifically, the inner diameter of the head accommodating portion 208 is set in accordance with the outer diameter of the head portion 204, and the surface cover portion is as high as the head portion 204 so as to accommodate the head portion 204 of the mounting pin 202. It protrudes from 193. Accordingly, the head 204 is accommodated in the head accommodating portion 208 in a state where the pin receiving surface 207 and the stepped surface 206 of the mounting pin 202 are in contact with each other. Thereby, since the head 204 is hard to be grasped, an illegal act of grasping and pulling out the head 204 can be suppressed.

  As shown in FIG. 18A, the head portion 204 of the mounting pin 202 is provided with a notch 211 as a positioning portion that defines the direction of the locking claw portion 205 of the mounting pin 202 in a predetermined direction. Corresponding to the notch 211, a protrusion 212 is provided on the inner peripheral side of the head accommodating portion 208 of the front cover portion 193. The protruding portion 212 protrudes inward from the inner peripheral surface of the head accommodating portion 208 in accordance with the shape of the notch portion 211. As a result, when the mounting pin 202 is inserted into the head accommodating portion 208, the notch 211 is inserted in accordance with the projection 212, so that the orientation of the mounting pin 202 with respect to the second front side coupling portion 151 is uniquely determined. Determined. Therefore, the direction of the locking claw portion 205 provided on the mounting pin 202 is determined in a predetermined direction. In such a case, one of the two locking claws 205 is arranged on the bulging portion 104 side. Therefore, even if it is a case where an unauthorized jig is used to enter from the front side wall portion 183 side, the locking state of the locking claw portion 205 disposed on the bulging portion 104 side is difficult to be released. Unauthorized release of the locked state can be suppressed.

  In addition, the shape of the projection part 212 and the notch part 211 should just determine the position of the attachment pin 202 uniquely, and the shape is arbitrary. Further, the head 204 may be provided with a protruding portion, and the head accommodating portion 208 may be provided with a notch. When a plurality of locking claw portions 205 are provided, at least one of the plurality of locking claw portions 205 may be disposed on the bulging portion 104 side.

  Next, a flow of operations for fixing the cover member 191 to the substrate box 92 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the flow of work for fixing the cover member 191 to the substrate box 92.

  In the operation of fixing the cover member 191 to the substrate box 92, the second fixing portion 132 that is not used at the time of the first fixing among the plurality of second fixing portions 132 is used, and the front side structure 101 and the back side structure 102 is fixed again, and the cover member 191 is fixed to the board box 92 in a state where it cannot be detached or difficult to remove.

  First, as shown in FIG. 21A, the cover member 191 is attached to the substrate box 92 into which the breaking screw 146 is screwed and the coupling pin 155 is inserted. Specifically, the cover member 191 is fitted into the surrounding portion 179. Specifically, the cover member 191 is moved in the mounting direction while the opening 192 of the cover member 191 is aligned with the surrounding portion 179. In such a case, the side cover portion 195 is guided to a predetermined position by abutment between the portion extending in the sliding direction of the side cover portion 195 and the portion extending in the sliding direction of the surrounding wall portion 181, and the front side defining wall portion 171 and the back side defining wall portion 172 It is prescribed | regulated to a predetermined position by contact | abutting with respect. Thereby, the attachment position of the cover member 191 with respect to the board | substrate box 92 is decided uniquely. That is, the cover member 191 has a guide portion for guiding itself to a predetermined position of the substrate box 92.

  When the cover member 191 is attached to the substrate box 92, the through hole 201 of the cover member 191 and the through hole 153 of the second front side coupling portion 151 are in communication. Then, the mounting pin 202 is inserted into the through holes 153 and 201 while the notch 211 of the mounting pin 202 is aligned with the protrusion 212. Then, the mounting pin 202 is locked to the second front side coupling portion 151. As a result, the second front side coupling portion 151 and the front cover portion 193 are sandwiched between the head portion 204 and the locking claw portion 205 of the mounting pin 202, and the sliding movement of the cover member 191 is restricted by the mounting pin 202. Therefore, the cover member 191 is fixed to the substrate box 92 in a state where it cannot be detached or difficult to remove.

The display control device 248 controls the symbol display device 41 based on a display command input from the sound lamp control board 239.

  As mentioned above, according to this Embodiment explained in full detail, there exist the following outstanding effects.

  A cover member 191 is attached to the substrate box 92. In such a state, the joint portion is covered with the cover member 191. As a result, it is difficult to perform an act of improperly acting on the joint portion, and a trace remains on the cover member 191 during the act. As a result, it is possible to suppress fraudulent acts with respect to the combined portion and to easily find the fraudulent acts.

  A surrounding portion 179 that forms a region for accommodating the fixing portions 131 and 132 arranged in parallel is provided. The cover member 191 is configured to cover the surrounding portion 179. As a result, in the case where a fraudulent act is performed on the joint portion, the fraudulent act becomes complicated because the surrounding portion 179 and the cover member 191 become an obstacle. Therefore, the fraudulent act can be troublesome. And since the trace of this fraudulent thing remains in the cover member 191, the said fraudulent act can be discovered easily.

  The surrounding portion 179 is open in the mounting direction of the breaking screw 146 and the coupling pin 155 as a fixture. Thereby, a fixing tool can be attached to each of the fixing portions 131 and 132. The cover member 191 closes the opening of the surrounding portion 179, and a closed space is formed by the cover member 191 and the surrounding portion 179. Since the joint location is accommodated in the closed space, it is possible to suppress an illegal act on the joint location.

  Specifically, the inner side surface 196 of the front cover portion 193 is in contact with the upper end of the surrounding wall portion 181. Here, since the upper end of the surrounding wall portion 181 is on the same plane and the inner side surface 196 is formed as a flat surface, it is difficult to form a gap between the cover member 191 and the surrounding wall portion 181. Unauthorized acts such as insertion of correct jigs can be suppressed.

  The cover member 191 is provided with an opening 192 having a size that allows the surrounding portion 179 to be inserted. The opening 192 is defined as a front side regulation in a state where the cover member 191 is attached to the substrate box 92. The wall portion 171, the back side defining wall portion 172, and the bulging regulation wall portion 185 are formed to be closed. Thus, a closed space is formed by the cover member 191 and the wall portion that defines the internal space of the substrate box 92, and the enclosing portion 179 is accommodated in the closed space. Therefore, fraudulent acts on the surrounding portion 179 and each fixing portion 131 accommodated in the surrounding portion 179 can be suitably suppressed.

  The cover member 191 is configured to overlap and cover the mounting wall portion 173 in the sliding direction. This makes it more difficult to insert an unauthorized jig from the boundary between the cover member 191 and the mounting wall portion 173. Accordingly, it is possible to more appropriately suppress an unauthorized act of inserting an unauthorized jig through the gap between the cover member 191 and the mounting wall portion 173.

  The cover member 191 is formed so as to abut against the bulging regulation wall portion 185. This makes it difficult to insert an unauthorized jig from the gap between the cover member 191 and the bulging regulation wall portion 185. Therefore, the cheating can be more suitably suppressed.

  The cover member 191 is arranged so as to sandwich the front side wall portion 183 and the back side wall portion 182 in the front and back direction. Thereby, the floating of the front side surrounding wall part 183 with respect to the back side surrounding wall part 182 is suppressed. Therefore, the floating of the front side structure 101 with respect to the back side structure 102 is suppressed.

  In addition, by providing a surrounding portion 179 that accommodates the plurality of fixing portions 131 and 132 and having a configuration in which the cover member 191 covers the surrounding portion 179, the configuration of the configuration is larger than the configuration of covering each of the fixing portions 131 and 132. Simplification can be achieved. Since the fixing portions 131 and 132 are arranged in parallel with one short side portion of the substrate box 92, the surrounding portion 179 and the cover member 191 surrounding the fixing portion 131 and 132 can be reduced in size.

  Further, the cover member 191 is provided with a guide portion that defines itself at a predetermined position of the substrate box 92. Specifically, the cover member 191 abuts the side cover portion 195 and the back side defining wall portion 172 at a predetermined position so that the inner side surface of the side surface cover portion 195 abuts on the outer side surface of the surrounding wall portion 181. It is formed as follows. Thereby, the cover member 191 can be easily disposed at a predetermined position. Therefore, workability can be improved.

  By inserting the attachment pin 202 into the through hole 201 provided in the second fixing portion 132 and the front cover portion 193, the movement of the cover member 191 in the removal direction is restricted. Thereby, separation of the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 is suppressed, and removal of the cover member 191 from the substrate box 92 is suppressed. That is, the second fixing portion 132 that fixes the front-side structure 101 and the back-side structure 102 is also used as a fixing portion for attaching the cover member 191 to the substrate box 92. Thereby, while simplifying a structure, the board | substrate box 92 can be fixed more firmly.

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

  (1) Modification examples of the payout control device and the cover member in the above embodiment are shown in FIGS. FIG. 23 is a perspective view of another payout control device, FIG. 24 is a perspective view in which a cover member is attached to the payout control device in FIG. 23, and FIG. 25 shows another payout control device and a cover member. It is a disassembled perspective view.

  A dispensing control device 401 shown in FIG. 23 includes a substrate box 402, and a dispensing control substrate 91 is accommodated in the substrate box 402.

  The substrate box 402 includes a front side structure (box cover) 403 and a back side structure (box base) 404 as a plurality of box structures. The front-side structure 403 is provided on the front side wall part 405 facing the element mounting surface 96 on which various elements are mounted on the payout control board 91 and the entire outer peripheral edge of the front side wall part 405, and stands up on the payout control board 91 side. A peripheral edge 406 is provided. Similarly to the back-side structure 102, the back-side structure 404 is provided on the flat part facing the solder surface of the payout control board 91 and the entire outer peripheral edge of the flat part, and the back-side peripheral part standing on the payout control board 91 side. 407. The front side peripheral edge 406 and the back side peripheral edge 407 are formed so as to partially overlap each other, and an adhesive is applied to the overlapping part. Thereby, both structures are mutually fixed.

  In addition, as an adhesive agent, a well-known adhesive agent can be used if the front side structural body 403 and the back side structural body 404 can be fixed, for example, an acrylic resin adhesive, a urethane resin adhesive, Ethylene-vinyl acetate resin adhesives, epoxy resin adhesives, silicone adhesives, etc. may be used, and these adhesives may be any of reaction systems, solution systems, water dispersion systems, and solid systems . Moreover, you may fix the overlapping site | part by welding.

  Here, the substrate box 402 is provided with an easy opening structure for easily opening the substrate box 402. Specifically, a box-side cut portion (box-side fragile portion) 408 is formed on the front-side wall portion 405 of the front-side structure 403 so as to partition a predetermined region of the front-side wall portion 405. The box-side cutting portion 408 is configured by a large number (or a plurality of) through-holes 409 formed so as to penetrate the front side wall portion 405 into and out of the substrate box 402.

  Specifically, a large number of through holes 409 are formed at equal intervals along the periphery of the front side wall portion 405, and the large number of through holes 409 are arranged so as to surround a predetermined region of the front side wall portion 405.

  The interval between the adjacent through holes 409 is set so that the region between the adjacent through holes 409 can be easily cut by a tool such as a nipper or a cutter. Specifically, the distance between the through holes 409 is set to be smaller than the length of the through holes 409 in the longitudinal direction. Thereby, the box side cutting part 408 becomes a weak area | region in the front side wall part 405 compared with another site | part.

  By cutting the box-side cutting part 408 over the entire circumference, it becomes possible to remove the area (hereinafter also referred to as the box-side removal area 410) partitioned by the box-side cutting part 408 from the front-side structure 403. By removing, the internal space of the substrate box 402 can be opened. In this case, the box-side removal region 410 is entirely separated from the front-side structure 403, and the front-side structure 403 is formed with a rectangular shape, specifically, a rectangular opening. As a result, the CPU chip 93 can be inspected.

  As shown in FIG. 24, a cover member 412 is attached to the board box 402 so as to cover a portion where the front side peripheral edge 406 and the back side peripheral edge 407 overlap in the board box 402 and the box side cutting part 408. Similar to the front side structure 403, the cover member 412 has a substantially box shape that opens toward the back side structure 404, and has a size that covers the periphery of the front side structure 403. Specifically, the inner peripheral surface of the cover member 412 is formed in accordance with the outer peripheral surface of the front side peripheral edge portion 406. Thereby, in a state where the cover member 412 is attached to the substrate box 402, the overlapping portion and the box-side cutting portion 408 are covered with the cover member 412. Therefore, fraudulent acts on the fixed portion (bonded portion) and the box-side cutting portion 408 can be suppressed.

  In such a state, the cover member 412 is fixed to the substrate box 402. Specifically, the cover member 412 is provided with a plurality of attachment portions 413. The attachment portion 413 has a bottomed cylindrical shape, and a through hole is provided in the bottom portion. Corresponding to the through hole, the board box 402 is provided with a boss 414. When the cover member 412 is attached to the substrate box 402, the boss 414 and the attachment portion 413 overlap each other in the front and back direction. The breaker screw 415 is screwed into the boss 414 and screwed to fix the cover member 412 to the substrate box 402. Therefore, an illegal act of removing the cover member 412 illegally can be suppressed.

  As described above, for the substrate box in which the fixed portion is formed over a wide range, the cover member is formed to be large corresponding to the fixed portion. In short, the cover member only needs to be formed so as to be able to cover the fixing portion, and the shape, position, size, etc. of the target fixing means are arbitrary. Moreover, the cover member should just cover a fixed location at least, and is good also as a structure which covers the whole front side structure. Furthermore, it is good also as a structure which arrange | positions a fixing | fixed part separately and attaches a cover member corresponding to the fixing location of each fixing | fixed part. However, it is preferable that the cut portions are concentrated in part from the viewpoint of reducing the number of members of the cover member, downsizing the cover member, and securing the space.

  In addition, the position, size, range, etc. of the cut portion where the substrate box 402 can be easily opened and the trace remains when opened are the same as the fixed portion, and the cut portion A cover member may be formed according to the above.

  If attention is paid to the fact that the box-side removal region 410 and the front-side structure 403 are fixed via the box-side cutting portion 408, the portion corresponding to the box-side removal region 410 is regarded as one “member”. In addition, the box side cutting portion 408 can also be referred to as “fixing means” or “fixed portion”. In this case, by destroying (cutting) the box-side cutting portion 408 that is the fixing means, the fixed state is released, and the box-side removal region 410 is separated from the front-side structure 403, and the trace remains. .

  (2) In the above embodiment, the cover member 191 is attached to the substrate box 92 that has never been opened, that is, the substrate box 92 that has no trace as an opening history. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Absent. For example, the cover member 191 may be attached to the substrate box 92 that has already been opened once and remains as an opening history. In such a case, the cover member 191 is preferably formed so as to cover at least the coupling portion and the cutting portion. Thereby, the skillful fraud which makes the trace of the said action inconspicuous can be suppressed by performing fraud on a trace location.

  (3) In the above embodiment, the cover member 191 is formed of a transparent resin, but is not limited thereto. For example, it is good also as a structure which affixes a seal seal on a joining location in the state where it is difficult to peel off the said seal seal. In such a case, it is preferable that the seal used is a flexible resin film such as a polyester film, has moderate brittleness, and is reactive to solvents and heat. As a result, when a solvent is applied or heat is applied to illegally peel off the seal, the seal can be discolored to leave a trace of the fraud.

  (4) In the above embodiment, the cover member 191 is fixed to the substrate box 92 by the second fixing portion 132. Instead, the cover member 191 is fixed to the substrate box 92. A dedicated fixing portion may be provided. Alternatively, the cover member 191 may be fixed to the substrate box 92 using an adhesive. However, the above embodiment is superior from the viewpoint of simplification of configuration and ease of work.

  Moreover, although it was set as the structure which fixes the cover member 191 with the attachment pin 202, it is not limited to this, It is good also as a structure performed with a fracture | rupture screw. In such a case, in order to attach the cover member 191 to the substrate box 92, a plurality of first fixing portions 131 are provided instead of the second fixing portions 132. Moreover, it is not restricted to these, You may fix using an adhesive agent etc.

  In addition, as a structure which fixes each fixing | fixed part 131,132, it is good also as a structure which adhere | attaches and integrates each corresponding coupling part other than an adhesive agent using an ultrasonic wave or a heat | fever. In these cases, the strength of the connecting portions 174 and 175 may be lower than the adhesive strength by the adhesive or the strength of fixing.

  (5) In the above embodiment, the plane defined by the upper end of the surrounding wall portion 181 is flat and the inner side surface 196 of the surface cover portion 193 is formed flat. One surface may be an uneven surface. In such a case, it is preferable that the other side is also uneven according to the unevenness. In short, the shape of the other surface may be formed in accordance with the shape of one surface.

  (6) In the above embodiment, the back cover part 194 is formed so as to be in contact with the base part 180 and according to the shape of each of the back side coupling parts 142 and 152 partially protruding from the base part 180. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, only the end portion of the base portion 180 may be abutted. In short, it may be formed so as to be in contact with at least a part of the base portion 180. However, as in the present embodiment, it is better from the viewpoint of restricting the relative movement of the front side structural body 101 and the back side structural body 102 to take a larger area in contact with the base portion 180.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which covers the bottom part of each back side coupling | bond part 142,152 instead of the structure contact | abutted to the base part 180. FIG. However, in the configuration in which the base portion 180 and the back surface cover portion 194 are in contact with each other, a gap is less likely to be formed between the base portion 180 and the back surface cover portion 194, so that an unauthorized jig is not easily inserted. Therefore, the configuration in which the base portion 180 and the back cover portion 194 abut is superior from the viewpoint of crime prevention.

  (7) In the above-described embodiment, the connecting portion that connects the second front side coupling portion 151 to the front side surrounding wall portion 183 and the mounting wall portion 173 is provided. For example, it is good also as a structure which forms a cutting part in the front side surrounding wall part 183 so that the said front side surrounding wall part 183 may be divided into a some area | region.

  In addition, the cutting portion 190 is formed by arranging a plurality of through holes in parallel. However, the cutting portion 190 is not limited to this, and may be formed in a portion that is thinner than the surroundings, or formed of a material that is weaker than the surroundings. May be.

  (8) In the above embodiment, the cover member 191 includes the front cover part 193, the back cover part 194, and the side cover part 195, but is not limited thereto. For example, the cover member 191 may have a configuration having only the surface cover portion 193. According to such a configuration, the mounting operation is easy, but a closed space is formed by the surface cover portion 193 and the surrounding portion 179, and the joint portion is accommodated in the closed space, so that illegal acts on the joint portion are suppressed. can do. However, the configuration in which the cover member 191 covers the direction other than the predetermined direction in the surrounding wall portion 181 is superior in terms of crime prevention as compared to the case of only the front cover portion 193.

  (9) In the above embodiment, the head accommodating portion 208 of the cover member 191 is formed to protrude from the surface cover portion 193, but is not limited thereto, and may be formed by being recessed from the surface cover portion 193. .

  (10) In the above-described embodiment, the surrounding portion 179 that partitions and forms the area for accommodating the fixing portions 131 and 132 is provided, and the fixing portions 131 and 132 are accommodated in the surrounding portion 179, and the cover member 191. However, the present invention is not limited to this. For example, instead of the surrounding portion 179, a cover member corresponding to each of the fixing portions 131 and 132 may be provided. However, the above-described embodiment is superior from the viewpoint of reducing the number of members, simplifying the configuration, and working efficiency.

  (11) In the above embodiment, the number of box structures forming the substrate box 92 is arbitrary as long as it is plural, and the substrate box 92 is formed by combining four or more box structures. Also good. In this case, another box structure may be provided between the payout control board 91 and the front side structure 101 so as to block the space between the two, and between the payout control board 91 and the back side structure 102. Another box structure may be provided so as to block both spaces.

  (12) In the above embodiment, the configuration applied to the board box 92 of the payout control device 82 is applied to other control devices such as the main control device 63, the sound lamp control device 66, the power source and the launch control device 83. May be. In addition to the substrate box, for example, a fixing structure in which a trace remains when the fixed state is released is used for fixing the substrate box and the pedestal device on which the substrate box is mounted, and the present invention is applied to the fixing structure. May be. In short, the present invention can be applied to all so-called caulking structures.
