It is shown with a solid line. In FIG. 17A, the operation state of the operation lever 353 (insertion operation units 372U and 372L) is indicated by a one-dot chain line, and in FIG. 17B, the operation state is changed to the lower insertion operation unit 372L. A state where the corresponding operation lever 353 is pressed is shown.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the external terminal board unit 203 includes an external output board 331 on which a plurality of terminal blocks 343 are mounted, a synthetic resin board base 332 to which the external output board 331 is fixed, and a board base 332. And a case cover 301 that is rotatably supported. Hereinafter, after describing the external output substrate 331, the substrate base 332 and the case cover 301 will be described.

  The external output board 331 mainly includes a horizontally long and substantially rectangular printed board 341, and includes an input-side connector 342, a plurality of terminal blocks 343, and a plurality of photoMOS relays 344 on the printed board 341. The terminal blocks 343 are provided by the number corresponding to the number of pieces of information output to the outside. In this embodiment, 13 terminal blocks 343 are provided so that, for example, 13 types of information can be output.

  The input-side connector 342 is provided with a plurality of terminals arranged in a line, and is electrically connected to the main control board via wiring connected to the terminals, and various signals corresponding to information on the pachinko machine 10 are externally transmitted.

The terminal block 343 and the photo moss relay 344 are connected to the connector 342 so that a signal input to the external output board 331 can be output through the output terminal 351 built in the terminal block 343 via the photo mos relay 344. Is done. One photoMOS relay 344 is provided corresponding to each of the terminal blocks 343, and the light emitting diode on the input side emits light in response to a signal input to the connector 342 on the input side. The conduction state of the output-side MOSFET connected to the output terminal 351 opens and closes in response to the input signal. As a result, the main control board and the external device connected through the insertion portion 302 of the terminal block 343 can be output in an electrically insulated state. The external output board 331 is not limited to the above-described electrical configuration, and may have other configurations. A pachinko machine is connected to an external device through a circuit that uses other electrical components such as a photocoupler instead of the photoMOS relay 344. 10 may be output.

  The external output substrate 331 has a shape in which the upper left side is straight and the lower side is bent into a crank shape by cutting the left lower corner of the external output board 331 into an L shape when viewed from the front. I am doing. That is, the external output board 331 has a shape in which the length of the upper part in the left-right direction is long and the length of the lower part in the left-right direction is short. A plurality of terminal blocks 343 are mounted side by side over a wide area.

  The terminal block 343 includes a wiring body connected to the two plug-in portions 302, with a main body portion 352 provided with the two plug-in portions 302 and two operation levers 353 integrated into one component. Information is output to the external device by opening and closing the conduction state corresponding to each information by the photo moss relay 344.

  The two operation levers 353 are supported so as to be rotatable about a rotation shaft 371 with respect to a main body portion 352 made of synthetic resin. The rotation shafts 371 of the two operation levers 353 are provided in a straight line, and the two operation levers 353 are supported in the main body 352 by the same support structure (not shown) in a side view.

  The main body 352 is provided with a top surface 361 facing the same direction as the surface on which the terminal block 343 is mounted on the printed circuit board 341 at a position away from the printed circuit board 341, and an operation lever 353 protruding from the top surface 361. A side surface portion 362 that is continuous from the edge of the three sides excluding the side to the printed circuit board 341 side is provided. The main body 352 is surrounded by the top surface 361 and the side surface 362 and has a hollow box shape. The top surface portion 361 is provided with an insertion portion 302 so as to penetrate inside and outside of the main body portion 352 in order to insert wiring of an external device.

  In the internal space formed by the main body 352, as shown in FIG. 17A, a metal output terminal 351 is installed and fixed corresponding to each of the two operation levers 353 (the fixing structure is illustrated). (Omitted). The output terminal 351 is provided so that a part of the operation lever 353 moves toward the output terminal 351 on the inner space side with respect to the insertion portion 302, and the wiring can be sandwiched between the operation lever 353 and the output terminal 351. A coil spring 354 as a biasing means is provided in a compressed state on the side opposite to the side on which the output terminal 351 is located with respect to the operation lever 353, and this coil spring 354 is operated with the spring support 363 of the main body 352. It is arranged in a state of being sandwiched between the lever 353. By this coil spring 354, the operation lever 353 is always urged to the side where the output terminal 351 is located, and the tip portion of the wiring inserted into the insertion portion 302 is connected between a part of the operation lever 353 and the output terminal 351. It is in a connected state where it is sandwiched and supported. Note that the connection state is a non-operation state in which no operation is performed on the operation lever 353 by the operator.

  The operation lever 353 has an insertion operation portion 372 that protrudes outward from an opening formed by the main body portion 352 at a position separated from the rotation shaft 371 and can be operated by an operator. Two insertion operation units 372 are provided for each terminal block 343.

  Each insertion operation unit 372 is biased by a coil spring 354 toward the direction away from the printed circuit board 341 around the rotation shaft 371 (upper side in FIG. 17), and the operator resists against the biasing force of the coil spring 354. By pushing the insertion operation portion 372 toward the side closer to the printed circuit board 341, the main body portion 352 of the operation lever 353 moves away from the output terminal 351, and moves to the direction side in which the through hole of the insertion portion 302 is opened. The operation state is such that the wiring can be inserted into and removed from the insertion portion 302 (the state shown in FIG. 17B). As described above, the operation lever 353 can be rotated through the insertion operation unit 372, and the connection state (non-operation state) in which the wiring of the external device is connected to the external output board 331, and the operation in which the wiring can be inserted and removed. A movement operation for switching between states is performed by the insertion operation unit 372.

  Two insertion operation units 372 provided on one terminal block 343 are set with different height positions corresponding to the distance from the printed circuit board 341. For this reason, in the situation where a plurality of insertion operation units 372 are arranged side by side, the interval between the adjacent insertion operation units 372 can be separated in the direction toward the printed circuit board 341. Even if the width of 353 is made narrow and the interval between the operation levers 353 is set narrow, the operation lever 353 can be easily operated, and the terminal block 343 can be made small. Therefore, the overall size of the external terminal board unit 203 can also be set small, and a large installation space for other components can be secured.

  The movable range of the two insertion operation units 372 is set at a position shifted when the insertion operation unit 372 is viewed in the rotational axis direction. That is, the other insertion operation is performed below the limit position (two-dot chain line in FIG. 17A) where the insertion operation unit 372 (upper insertion operation unit 372U) far from the printed circuit board 341 is pressed. An initial position corresponding to a non-operation state in the unit 372 (lower insertion operation unit 372L) is set. For this reason, when the upper insertion operation unit 372U is operated, the lower insertion operation unit 372L located next to the lower insertion operation unit 372L is unlikely to be pushed down, and also when the lower insertion operation unit 372L is operated. The upper insertion operation portion 372U located next to the upper insertion operation portion 372U is hardly pushed down, and the wiring work can be facilitated.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the plurality of terminal blocks 343 are arranged in parallel to the upper side of the external output board 331. As for the orientation of the terminal block 343, the insertion part 302 is arranged side by side in parallel with the upper side at a position close to the upper side of the external output board 331, and the insertion is performed below the insertion part 302. Operation units 372 are arranged side by side.

  For the plurality of terminal blocks 343, the main body portions 352 of all the terminal blocks 343 are colored in a common color by a synthetic resin such as black. The two operation levers 353 provided on each terminal block 343 are set to a common color, and are set to a color different from the operation levers 353 provided on the other terminal blocks 343. In other words, two sets of operation levers 353 having different distances from the printed circuit board 341 are set to the same color as one set, and two operation levers 353 of different colors are arranged next to the set of operation levers 353. It is set as the position located in. For example, the plurality of terminal blocks 343 are set to yellow green, brown, black, gray, pink, yellow, red, blue, orange, light blue, white, green, purple from the side far from the connector 342. In this case, it is preferable that the hues of the adjacent operation levers 353 be set to colors close to complementary colors so that the difference in hue is conspicuous. For example, purple is placed beside green and red is placed beside blue. Is preferred. The operation lever 353 in black, which is the same as the color of the main body 352, or brown or gray close to the color of the main body 352, is a rear surface that becomes an open front end when the gaming machine main body 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11. Confirming the color of the operating lever 353 on the open proximal side, which tends to be dark, is arranged on the left side of the view and the operation lever 353 having a bright hue such as white or light blue is arranged on the right side of the rear view corresponding to the open base end side. Can be facilitated.

  A connector 342 is arranged on the right side of the front view corresponding to one front side where a plurality of terminal blocks 343 are arranged side by side so as to cross the arrangement direction of the terminal blocks 343 and to be vertically long. A plurality of photoMOS relays 344 are arranged side by side on the side close to the connector 342 below the installation area of the plurality of terminal blocks 343 on the printed circuit board 341. The printed circuit board 341 is continuous only on the terminal block 343 side, and the lower part of the printed circuit board 341 is cut out in the front side portion separated from the connector 342 along the direction in which the photo MOS relays 344 are arranged. Has been reduced.

  Next, the configuration of the external output board 331 in an attached state in which the external output board 331 is attached to the terminal plate attachment portion 311 will be described.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the external output board 331 is attached to the terminal board attachment portion 311 via the board base 332, and in this attachment state, the surface is on the upper rear side of the gaming machine body 12 (upper right side in FIG. 14). It is arranged to face. Accordingly, the external terminal board unit 203 can be arranged with a small vertical width required for the installation of the printed circuit board 341 that requires a certain area, and the height of the parts installed below the external terminal board unit 203 can be increased. The position can be set high. In the following description, the surface side of the printed circuit board 341 in the external output board 331 is a surface facing the rear side when attached to the gaming machine body 12, and is also referred to as a rear surface of the external output board 331.

  As shown in FIG. 14, the surface of the external output substrate 331 that faces the accommodation space side of the back pack 201 corresponding to the back surface of the printed circuit board 341 faces the mounting base 321 and has a certain gap from the mounting base 321. The mounting base 321 is disposed obliquely above and rearward of the mounting base 321. On the back surface side of the printed circuit board 341, the tip portion of the terminal and the solder for fixing the terminal block 343 and the like protrude, and a gap is provided between the printed circuit board 341 and the mounting base 321 corresponding to the protruding portion. ing. By forming the attachment base 321 so as to be parallel to the printed circuit board 341 with a slight gap with respect to the back surface of the printed circuit board 341, a large accommodation space is secured by the back pack 201.

  The insertion portion 302 of the terminal block 343 mounted on the printed board 341 is provided on the rear surface side of the external output board 331 as shown in FIG. It is arranged in the direction to be. For this reason, the worker can proceed with the work while easily checking the opening position in the insertion portion 302 in a state where the worker is located on the back side of the gaming machine main body 12.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the terminal block 343 mounted on the printed circuit board 341 has the main body 352 of the terminal block 343 disposed on the front side with respect to the printed circuit board 341, and the operation lever 353 protrudes on the rear side. Arranged to do so. The operation lever 353 is also provided on the insertion portion 302 provided in the main body 352 so as to protrude to the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12, and the operation lever 353 is operated in the operation from the back side of the gaming machine main body 12. It is easy to do.

  Here, the terminal block 343 opens in the direction in which the insertion part 302 is separated from the printed board 341, and the insertion operation part 372 is located on one side of the insertion part 302 and approaches the surface of the printed board 341. This is a configuration that can be moved to the side and is similar to the configuration of a general-purpose terminal block that is conventionally used in gaming machines. For this reason, the external terminal board unit 203 can be configured at low cost by mounting a general-purpose terminal block on the printed circuit board so that the insertion section 302 and the insertion operation section 372 are arranged in two rows. it can.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the photo moss relay 344 mounted on the printed circuit board 341 has a lower protrusion height to the surface side of the printed circuit board 341 than the terminal block 343, and the operation lever 353 has a It is an electronic component having a lower height than the height position. The photo moss relay 344 is disposed on the rear side with respect to the operation lever 353, and the tilt angle at which the rear surface of the external output board 331 is tilted with the rear diagonally upward is tilted in accordance with the photo mos relay 344 or the photo moss. A part of the substrate base 332 that covers the relay 344 is set at an angle that is not located on the rear side with respect to the operation lever 353. For this reason, it is possible to easily check the electronic components necessary for the external output board 331 from the back side of the gaming machine body 12 while improving the visibility and operability of the operation lever 353 in the work from the back side of the gaming machine body 12. It can be mounted on. Therefore, it is considered difficult to perform an illegal act of replacing an electronic component other than the terminal block 343 with another illegal component.

  The operation lever 353 is provided at two kinds of height positions so as to be separated from the printed circuit board 341 on the surface side, and as shown in FIG. 10, the insertion operation portions 372 of the operation lever 353 are vertically moved one by one. It protrudes to the back side of the gaming machine main body 12 with the height position shifted. For this reason, when the gaming machine main body 12 is viewed from the back side, the height positions of the two types of insertion operation units 372 can be easily recognized. Conventionally, the external output board 331 is installed so that the surface of the external output board 331 faces the back side of the gaming machine body 12, and in this case, the height position of the insertion operation unit 372 is set in the terminal block 343. In other words, the insertion operation unit 372 may be difficult to perform operations such as inserting a fingertip between the insertion operation units 372 having different height positions. On the other hand, like the external output board 331 in the present embodiment, the operation lever 353 is inserted into the terminal block 343 by arranging the rear surface of the external output board 331 to face the diagonally upper rear side of the gaming machine body 12. The position of the part 372 can be easily confirmed, and an operation of putting a fingertip between the insertion operation parts 372 having different height positions can be easily performed. The operation lever 353 is not necessarily provided with a plurality of types with different height positions.

  In the board base 332, as a part that divides the inner space of the peripheral portion 382 so as to form wiring openings 411, 412, lever operation openings 413, and connector openings 414 on the surface side of the printed board 341, FIG. As shown in FIG. 16, a partition wall 415 and a wiring support part 416 are provided.

  The partition wall 415 is formed in a plate shape having a thickness in the left-right direction, and is positioned between the connector opening 414, the lever operation opening 413, and the wiring opening 412 to partition them in the left-right direction. The partition wall 415 is formed to have a size that connects the front side wall portion 391 and the rear side wall portion 392 located on the front surface side of the printed board 341 on the front surface side of the printed board 341.

  The wiring support part 416 is a part that contacts the wiring of the external device and supports the lower side of the wiring, and is located between the lever operation opening 413 and the wiring openings 411 and 412, This is a part that is partitioned in the front-rear direction. The wiring support portion 416 is provided so as to span a portion between the peripheral edge portions 382 on the side away from the printed circuit board 341 with respect to the terminal block 343, one end is connected to the left side wall portion 393, and the other end is connected. It is connected to the partition wall 415. In addition, the wiring support portion 416 is formed such that a lower portion is formed by a portion continuous in the front-rear direction parallel to the surface of the printed circuit board 341, and a rear end portion thereof protrudes in a direction away from the surface of the printed circuit board 341. The cross-sectional shape is substantially L-shaped.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the wiring support portion 416 is located from the rear end position of the insertion portion 302 so as not to block the insertion portion 302 of the terminal block 343 from the opening direction side of the insertion portion 302. On the rear side, the shape is continuous with the rear oblique upper side from the position overlapping the rear oblique upper side with a slight gap with respect to the top surface portion 361. The upper surface of the wiring support portion 416 is shaped such that the front portion is positioned below the rear side, and the insertion portion 302 can be easily seen from the rear upper side, and is disposed on the upper side of the wiring support portion 416. The wiring to be routed is configured to be routed to the rear side with a large curvature radius. Further, the wiring support portion 416 is formed in a size that continues from the rear end to the rear side of the top surface portion 361, and a part of the wiring support portion 416 faces the upper side of the insertion operation portion 372. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the rear side surface of the wiring support portion 416 is formed so as to face the insertion operation portion 372 located on the rear obliquely lower side, and overlaps the rear obliquely lower side with respect to the rear side surface. On the other hand, an insertion operation part 372 (upper insertion operation part 372U) is provided so as to protrude in the direction in which the surface faces. For this reason, the wiring support portion 416 is provided in a portion where the insertion portion 302 is located on the front side and a part of the insertion operation portion 372 is located on the rear side in the front-rear direction. Between the main body part 352 and the operation lever 353, it is arranged so as to enter the space part recessed downward from above. Therefore, the amount of protrusion that the wiring support portion 416 protrudes upward is reduced, and the vertical width of the external terminal board unit 203 is made small, and the strength necessary for supporting the wiring of the external device is sufficiently secured. be able to.

  The upper end of the insertion operation unit 372 is positioned below the upper surface of the wiring support unit 416, and the rear portion of the wiring supported by the wiring support unit 416 comes into contact with the insertion operation unit 372. Also, the weight of the wiring is not easily transmitted to the insertion operation unit 372. For this reason, even if the wiring of the external device comes into contact with the insertion operation unit 372 from above, the insertion operation unit 372 is unlikely to be pushed down, and the situation where the wiring of the external device is disconnected is difficult to occur.

  A plate-like connecting portion 417 having a thickness in the left-right direction and continuing to the front side wall portion 391 side is provided at a central portion in the left-right direction of the wiring support portion 416. The wiring of the external device comes into contact with the upper surface of the wiring support portion 416 and is connected to the front side wall portion 391 in the middle of the horizontally long wiring support portion 416 so that deformation or damage does not occur even if the weight of the wiring is received. A connecting portion 417 is provided. The connecting portion 417 is not necessarily provided so as to be connected only to the front side wall portion 391. Instead of the connecting portion 417 or in addition to the connecting portion 417, the rear side wall portion 392 and the wiring support portion 416 are connected. As described above, a connecting portion may be provided on the obliquely lower rear side of the wiring support portion 416, and the number of connecting portions is not limited to one and may be two or more.

  The wiring openings 411 and 412 are formed in a horizontally long and substantially rectangular shape opened upward at the upper end portion of the substrate base 332, and the two wiring openings 411 and 412 are arranged side by side in a straight line. The wiring openings 411 and 412 expose the insertion portion 302 of the terminal block 343 in a set of seven at the rear obliquely upper side from the wiring opening 411 on the left side in the rear view, and 6 in the wiring opening 412 on the right side in the rear view. The insertion part 302 of the terminal block 343 of the set of bases is exposed obliquely upward and rearward from the opening on the right side in the rear view.

  The lever operation opening 413 is provided on the rear side of the wiring openings 411 and 412, and is formed to have a size such that all the insertion operation portions 372 protruding from the terminal block 343 are exposed obliquely rearward and upward through one opening. Yes.

  Above the wiring openings 411 and 412, as shown in FIG. 15A, most of the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301 excluding a part on the right side in the rear view is arranged as the external output cover portion 406. It is possible. As shown in FIG. 16, the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301 has a plate shape having a laterally long rectangular external output cover portion 406 formed larger than the horizontal width and the front and rear width of the wiring openings 411 and 412. It is possible to form a closed state in which the upper side of the wiring openings 411 and 412 is closed by making the thickness direction coincide with the vertical direction on the upper side of the openings 411 and 412 and arranging the plate surfaces in the front-rear direction. Has been.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, a gap is provided between the external output cover portion 406 and the upper surface of the wiring support portion 416 when the case cover 301 is closed. Corresponding to the thickness of the wiring, it is set equal to or slightly larger than the thickness. Through this gap, the wiring of the external device (the one-dot chain line in FIG. 15A) is drawn out to the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 when the case cover 301 is closed.

  In the closed state of the case cover 301, as shown in FIG. 15A, the external output cover portion 406 is located obliquely above and behind the insertion portion 302, and the direction side in which the insertion portion 302 opens is located. A gap space which is arranged at the position to be closed and bent backward is formed as a wiring arrangement space of the external device. The wiring of the external device is bent to the rear side by contacting the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 with respect to the diagonally upper rear side facing the plug-in portion 302, and on the back side of the gaming machine main body 12. Pulled out. When the wiring openings 411 and 412 are used as a reference, in the vicinity of the plug-in portion 302, the wiring of the external device continues in the vertical direction by passing through the wiring openings 411 and 412 formed in the upper direction. The wiring continues in the front-rear direction by a gap formed in the front-rear direction on the rear side. For this reason, when the tensile force to the rear side from which the wiring of the external device is extracted acts on the wiring, the wiring contacts the front surface portion of the wiring support portion 416, and a part of the tensile force is applied to the wiring support portion 416. Supported. In addition, a frictional resistance force is generated between the wiring and the external output cover portion 406 and the wiring support portion 416 of the case cover 301, and the point at which the wiring is bent by the action of the tensile force is changed while changing the point. The resistance force increases by moving to the side, and the tensile force transmitted to the insertion portion 302 side is reduced accordingly. Thereby, in the situation where the wiring of the external device is connected to the pachinko machine 10, it is possible to avoid a situation where the wiring is disconnected from the insertion portion 302 even if a tensile force is applied to the wiring carelessly.

  On the lower side surface of the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301, as shown in FIG. 15A, a step is provided on the upper side in a part including the portion facing the upper side of the wiring support portion 416 to form a thin width. A recessed surface portion 407 is provided. The concave surface portion 407 has a shape in which the top surface forming the route portion of the wiring through which the wiring of the external device passes back and forth has a step in the front-rear direction, and the wiring is recessed by the wiring support portion 416 located below the concave surface portion 407. It is likely to be pushed up and bent up and down. When the case cover 301 is in the closed state, the resistance force when the pulling force is generated in the direction in which the wiring is extracted is easily increased and transmitted to the plug-in portion 302. The tensile force that is applied can be reduced. Instead of the concave surface portion 407, or in the concave surface portion 407, the lower surface of the external output cover portion 406 in contact with the wiring has a continuous undulation shape in the front-rear direction, and the lower end corresponding to the leading end side of the undulation is sharpened. It may be formed, whereby the resistance force against the tensile force against the wiring of the external device can be further increased.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the case cover 301 is provided with a lower cover protrusion 408 that protrudes downward from the lower surface of the external output cover 406 in the closed state. The lower cover protrusion 408 is a part that restricts the downward movement of the external output cover 406 by contacting the upper surface of the partition wall 415 and the connecting part 417 in the substrate base 332. As shown in FIG. 18, the lower cover protrusion 408 has a shape that is continuous in the left-right direction, and has a length that extends over the entire region where the terminal block 343 is disposed in the left-right direction.

  As shown in FIG. 15 (a), the lower cover ridge 408 has a horizontally long rectangular cross-sectional shape that protrudes obliquely downward on the front side. It is formed in a cross-sectional shape having an inclined surface that is inclined upward. On the upper surface of the partition wall 415 and the connecting portion 417 in the substrate base 332, as shown in FIGS. 15A and 16, a planar portion located on the lower side spaced apart from the inner surface of the external output cover portion 406 by a certain distance. On the other hand, a cover receiving portion 418 in which a portion corresponding to the cover lower protrusion 408 is recessed downward is formed. The cover receiving portion 418 is formed to have a cross-sectional shape that is inclined upward and frontward and rearward with the middle portion in the front-rear direction as the lowermost end so as to face the inclined surface that forms the lower cover protrusion 408. The shape is a combination of two inclined surfaces facing both the front diagonally lower side and the rear diagonally lower side of the portion 408. For this reason, when the game ball comes into contact with the upper surface of the external output cover portion 406 or a tool collides with the case cover 301 closed, the downward movement of the external output cover portion 406 is restricted. Of course, the movement of the external output cover portion 406 in the front-rear direction is also limited by the partition wall 415 and the connecting portion 417 of the substrate base 332, and the relative displacement of the case cover 301 with respect to the substrate base 332 is less likely to occur. As a result, even if the case cover 301 forms the uppermost surfaces of the pachinko machine 10 and the gaming machine main body 12 so that objects can easily come into contact with each other and a strong impact force is likely to act on the upper surface of the case cover 301, the board base 332 The case cover 301 is prevented from being removed or damaged.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the front end surface of the cover lower protrusion 408 facing the front oblique lower side is a height position that is close to the top surface portion 361 of the terminal block 343 when the case cover 301 is closed. Is provided. When a load is applied to the upper surface of the external output cover portion 406 at a portion between the partition wall 415 and the connecting portion 417 of the substrate base 332, the lower cover protrusion 408 contacts the top surface portion 361 of the terminal block 343, The sinking of the external output cover 406 is limited. For this reason, a gap between the substrate base 332 and the case cover 301 is secured to a certain level or more even in an area that is not directly supported by the substrate base 332, and overload input through the case cover 301 to the wiring of the external device. The occurrence of disconnection due to is prevented.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 is located obliquely above and behind the insertion portion 302 with respect to the insertion portion 302 in the closed state. The insertion operation unit 372 continues to the position covering the entire upper side. As a result, the game ball or the like does not come into contact with the insertion portion 302 and the insertion operation portion 372 from the top, and the game ball does not easily come into contact with the operation lever 353. It is possible to avoid a situation in which the insertion operation unit 372 is easily pushed to the operation state side and the wiring of the external device is disconnected.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the rear end of the insertion operation unit 372 and the rear end of the case cover 301 are set to a length that substantially coincides with the rear position in the front-rear direction when the case cover 301 is closed. ing. In the closed state of the case cover 301, the lever operation opening 413 is formed to be opened rearward by the combination of the case cover 301 and the substrate base 332, and the insertion operation portion 372 of the operation lever 353 is provided as a gaming machine main body. 12 is exposed on the rear side. For this reason, even if the case cover 301 is in a closed state, the operator can operate the insertion operation unit 372 from the rear side. Therefore, the operation for removing the wiring can be performed even when the case cover 301 is closed, and the front and rear dimensions of the case cover 301 can be reduced, and the external terminal board unit 203 can be reduced in size. Note that the case cover 301 may be formed so as to protrude rearward from the rear end of the insertion operation portion 372.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, the rotation center axis J2 that is the rotation center of the case cover 301 is indicated by a black dot. Is set to be continuous in the left-right direction of the gaming machine main body 12 (the vertical direction side in FIG. 15A). For this reason, the external output cover part 406 of the case cover 301 is positioned above the plug-in part 302 in the closed state, and is capable of rotating and moving forward and obliquely upward in the transition from the closed state to the open state ( (Refer FIG.15 (b)). When the case cover 301 is in an open state, the diagonally upper rear side of the insertion portion 302 is opened, and the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 is disposed on the front side of the opened space. Therefore, when the wiring work is performed on the insertion portion 302 located on the back side of the gaming machine main body 12, the case cover 301 does not interfere with the work and does not hinder the visibility.

  As shown in FIG. 16, the connector opening 414 is formed on the right side in the rear view with respect to the lever operation opening 413 and the wiring openings 411 and 412, and is sized to expose the connector 342 obliquely upward on the rear side. ing.

Stopper holes 425 are provided at possible positions. Thereby, in the closed state of the case cover 301, the rotational movement on the connector cover part 409 side is limited, and the stopper function is configured together with the combination of the stopper protrusion 396 and the stopper hole 405 provided on the left side of the case cover 301 in the back view, Due to this stopper function, the closed state of the case cover 301 is easily maintained, and movement in the opening direction is limited.

  As shown in FIG. 15A, a horizontally long plate-like cover operating portion 426 that protrudes rearward with respect to the connector cover portion 409 is integrally formed on the lower side of the lower surface wall 424 of the board base 332. Has been. The cover operation unit 426 is a part operated by an operator when the case cover 301 is opened and closed. The cover operation unit 426 is located away from the rotation center axis J <b> 2 of the case cover 301 with respect to the upper plate 401. 301 is provided at a position farthest from the rotation center axis J2. For this reason, even when a large turning force is required for the turning operation of the case cover 301, the length of the connector cover portion 409 is used as a part of the lever for the turning operation, and the turning force is used. It is possible to output easily. Further, the upper plate portion 401 (external output cover portion 406) is provided on the side closer to the rotation center axis J2 than the connector cover portion 409, so that the upper portion of the insertion portion 302 is based on the lever principle.

The portion located below the rail opening 222a is not a portion that forms the upper surface of the external terminal board unit 203, but other portions below the rear edges 422a and 433a that protrude rearward from the board base 332. The game ball does not ride on the upper surface of the portion located below the portion. Accordingly, the tank rail 222 is arranged at a high position with respect to the board base 332 to secure a wide arrangement space for various components mounted on the back side of the game board 23, and the game ball riding on the external terminal board unit 203 Can be easily poured into the rail opening 222a without being lifted.

  Next, the operation of connecting the wiring of the external device to the external terminal board unit 203 of the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment will be described together with the operation of installing the pachinko machine 10 in the game hall.

  When installing the pachinko machine 10 in the amusement hall, the outer frame 11 of the pachinko machine 10 is fixed to the island facility using nails or the like, and then the wiring of the external device such as the management device is connected to the external terminal board unit 203. Connecting. This connection work is performed with the gaming machine main body 12 opened to the front side with respect to the outer frame 11 (see FIG. 3 and the like).

  The worker opens the gaming machine main body 12 large, for example, 90 degrees or more, stands on the back side of the gaming machine main body 12, and operates the external terminal board unit 203 located on the upper right side of the back side. Since the external terminal board unit 203 is provided at a position that constitutes a part of the upper surface and a part of the rear surface of the gaming machine main body 12, the operator has a viewpoint obliquely rearward and upward with respect to the external terminal board unit 203. The work is performed with the external terminal board unit 203 looking down. Thereby, the external terminal board unit 203 can be easily confirmed from the viewpoint position, and a space continuous from the upper side to the rear side of the external terminal board unit 203 can be used as a work space for wiring connection.

  For the external terminal board unit 203, as shown in FIG. 11A and the like, the cover operating portion 426 of the closed case cover 301 is pulled upward to open the case cover 301 (see FIG. 11A). FIG. 11 (b) state). When the case cover 301 is opened, a plurality of insertion portions 302 covered by the case cover 301 are opened obliquely upward to the rear of the gaming machine main body 12. The operator can proceed with work while easily confirming the opening position of the insertion portion 302 in a state where the viewpoint is located on the direction side in which the insertion portion 302 faces.

  After the case cover 301 is opened, the wiring corresponding to each insertion portion 302 is selected from the wirings of a plurality of external devices installed in advance on the game hall side, and the leading end portion of the wiring is connected to the insertion portion 302. Plug in. The operator presses down the insertion operation unit 372 located on the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 with respect to the insertion unit 302 into which the wiring is inserted, and after inserting the wiring into the insertion unit 302, the insertion operation unit Release the hand from 372 to release the pressed state. Thereby, the connection of one wiring is completed, and this connection operation is repeated a plurality of times to complete the connection of all the wirings.

  When the insertion operation unit 372 is pressed, the insertion operation unit 372 is provided on the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 with respect to the plurality of insertion units 302, and a hand for operating the insertion operation unit 372 is an insertion unit. Since it will be located in front of 302, it is suppressed that the hand intervenes between a viewpoint and the insertion part 302 and the visibility of the insertion part 302 is inhibited. When the case cover 301 is opened, as shown in FIG. 15B, the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301 moves to the front side so as to be opened to the upper side of the insertion portion 302. For this reason, the state of the wiring around the insertion portion 302 can be confirmed by looking into the gaming machine body 12 from above. Therefore, it can be made favorable about the visibility of the insertion part 302 during wiring work.

  Further, the insertion operation unit 372 can be easily operated simply by pressing down using the weight of the hand. The moving direction of the insertion operation unit 372 is a direction that intersects the front-rear direction in which the gaming machine main body 12 is opened, and is set on the direction side along the vertical direction that coincides with the direction of the rotation center axis of the gaming machine main body 12. Therefore, the gaming machine main body 12 is less likely to swing back and forth during the operation, and the open state in the middle of the work is easy even if the gaming machine main body 12 is not in the fully open state where it abuts against the portion that serves as a stopper. It is also possible to perform wiring work.

  When aligning the wiring of the external device with the plug-in portion 302, the wiring of the external device is placed on the wiring support portion 416, and then the wiring is connected by adjusting the position of the wiring in the left-right direction. It can be carried out. Thereby, the alignment operation | work at the time of inserting the wiring to the insertion part 302 can be performed easily. After the wiring connection is completed, the upper surface of the wiring support portion 416 is positioned above the insertion operation unit 372. Therefore, after the wiring of the external device is connected, the wiring is positioned above the insertion operation unit 372. It is routed to the rear side of the opening / closing body via. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the weight of the wiring from being directly applied to the insertion operation unit 372, and to avoid the situation where the wiring is unnecessarily disconnected in the opening / closing operation or the like of the gaming machine main body 12. It is possible to prevent the disconnection by avoiding the situation where the wiring is routed with a small radius of curvature in the vicinity of the outlet of the insertion portion 302.

  After completing the connection of the wiring, the cover operation unit 426 is pushed down to close the case cover 301. By closing the case cover 301, as shown in FIG. 15A, the wiring is sandwiched between the upper plate portion 401 (external output cover portion 406) of the case cover 301 and the wiring support portion 416. The wire 302 is pulled out from the insertion portion 302 to the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12. Then, the game machine main body 12 is closed with respect to the outer frame 11, and the installation work of the pachinko machine 10 in the game hall is completed.

  Thus, according to the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment, it is possible to improve the workability of the wiring connection work of the external device to the external terminal board unit 203 when the pachinko machine 10 is installed in the game hall. it can. Specifically, the following effects are exhibited.

  In the state in which the gaming machine main body 12 is opened, a space that continues from the upper side to the rear side of the external terminal board unit 203 can be used as a work space. Therefore, it is possible to easily check the connection and removal of the wiring of the external device using a wide space.

  Since the plurality of insertion portions 302 are opened obliquely above and behind the gaming machine main body 12, the operator can easily check the opening position of the insertion portion 302 while being positioned on the back side of the gaming machine main body 12. Work can proceed.

  Since the insertion operation unit 372 is provided on the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 with respect to the plurality of insertion units 302, the hand operating the insertion operation unit 372 is located on the front side of the insertion unit 302. Further, it is suppressed that the hand is interposed between the viewpoint and the insertion portion 302 and obstructs the visibility of the insertion portion 302. Therefore, the visibility of the insertion portion 302 during the wiring work can be improved. Furthermore, since the insertion operation unit 372 is provided so as to be movable downward, the operation on the insertion operation unit 372 can be easily performed using the weight of the hand.

  Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment, a wide space for installing the symbol display device 94 and the control devices 142 and 143 can be secured in the front-rear direction as a gaming device, and specifically, the following effects can be obtained.

  Since the external terminal board unit 203 is provided at a position that constitutes a part of the upper surface of the gaming machine main body 12 at the upper end portion of the backpack unit 15, the external terminal board unit 203 is installed at a high position. The front-rear width of the storage space in which the display device 94 or the like is arranged can be formed wide up to the upper end of the storage space.

  Since a combination of a plurality of insertion portions 302 and a plurality of insertion operation portions 372 are provided side by side in the left-right direction of the gaming machine main body 12, a large number of insertion portions are provided at a corner portion where the upper surface and the back surface of the back pack 201 are continuous. The combination of 302 and the insertion operation unit 372 can be arranged side by side in a compact manner. Therefore, the workability of the wiring work can be maintained high while increasing the types of information output to the external device, and a wide installation space for the symbol display device 94 and the like can be secured.

  Since the external output board 331 is arranged so that the rear surface faces the obliquely upper rear side of the gaming machine main body 12, the gaming machine main body is arranged rather than the rear surface of the external output board 331 facing straight behind the gaming machine main body 12. 12 The area occupied by the external output board 331 in the rear view can be reduced, and the lower end of the external output board 331 can be set at a high position. For this reason, the components provided on the lower side of the external output board 331 can be arranged at a high position, and the front-rear width of the accommodation space in which the symbol display device 94 and the like are arranged can be formed suitably wide.

  The wiring connected to the terminal block 343 is routed to another part via the diagonally upper rear side of the gaming machine body 12 with respect to the terminal block 343. This portion corresponds to a triangular region in a side view surrounded by a virtual line that extends vertically upward from the rear end of the external output board 331 and a virtual line that extends from the upper end of the external output board 331 to the rear of the gaming machine body 12. By arranging the wiring in a state where the plurality of wirings are bundled or grouped together with the area as an arrangement space, it is possible to arrange a large number of wirings without projecting greatly from the back pack 201 to the rear side and the upper side. it can. Therefore, the corner portion at the upper rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 can be effectively used as a wiring arrangement space. In the pachinko machine 10 in which usable dimensions in front and rear and up and down are limited, Many wirings can be easily arranged without projecting to the side and the upper side.

  Moreover, according to the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment, it is possible to suppress a situation in which the wiring of the external device is disconnected against the operator's intention, and facilitate the insertion and removal of the wiring only when necessary. Specifically, the following effects are exhibited.

  The wiring of the external device inserted into the insertion portion 302 by the operation of the insertion operation portion 372 is bent by the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 that is closed by the support of the rotating shaft portion 395. Then, it is connected to the plug-in part 302 via a gap space provided between the external output cover part 406 and the wiring support part 416. For this reason, when a tensile force is generated in the direction in which the wiring is extracted with respect to the wiring of the external device, a part of the tensile force is supported by the external output cover unit 406 or the wiring support unit 416. In this case, the tensile force applied to the insertion portion 302 can be reduced. Therefore, in a situation where the wiring of the external device is connected to the gaming machine, it is possible to suppress a situation where the wiring is disconnected from the insertion portion even if a load is inadvertently applied to the wiring.

  In the opened state of the case cover 301, the external output cover portion 406 is not positioned on the opening direction side of the insertion portion 302, so that the operator can easily see the insertion portion 302, and compared to the closed state of the case cover 301. When the wiring is inserted toward the opening of the insertion portion 302, the external output cover portion 406 is not easily obstructed, so that the wiring can be easily inserted into the insertion portion. Therefore, it is possible to facilitate the insertion / removal of the wiring of the external device only when necessary, and to improve the workability of the wiring connection.

  It is assumed that the wiring of the external device is not the same for all the amusement halls, but a plurality of types of wiring are used and the thickness of the wiring is also different. In this case, the external output cover portion 406 and the wiring support portion 416 of the case cover 301 in the closed state form a bent gap space as a wiring arrangement space, so there is some variation in the thickness of the wiring. In addition, since the wiring is bent, the wiring tends to be in contact with both the wiring support portion 416 and the external output cover portion 406 to be sandwiched. Therefore, it is possible to provide an effective wiring detachment prevention structure with respect to wiring that is assumed to vary in thickness as wiring of an external device.

  Next, wiring removal work will be described. Wiring removal work is similar to wiring connection work. That is, the gaming machine body 12 is opened with respect to the outer frame 11, and the case cover 301 (external output cover portion 406) is opened (see FIG. 11B). Thereafter, the insertion operation unit 372 is pressed and the wiring is extracted from the insertion unit 302. In this case, by opening the external output cover portion 406, the external output cover portion 406 rotates from the closed state toward the direction away from the insertion portion 302, and serves as a wiring arrangement space. The opening direction side is opened. In this state, the pulling force in the direction in which the wiring is extracted with respect to the wiring of the external device is directly transmitted to the insertion portion, so that the operation of removing the wiring can be easily performed. However, the case cover 301 does not necessarily need to be opened. Even when the case cover 301 is in a closed state (see FIG. 11A), the insertion operation unit 372 is exposed to the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12. Therefore, the wiring operation may be pulled out by pressing the insertion operation unit 372. Depending on the thickness and bending rigidity of the wiring, it may be difficult to pull out the wiring by being sandwiched between the upper plate portion 401 and the wiring support portion 416 of the case cover 301. It is preferable to pull out the wiring after opening.

  Next, the structure corresponding to the situation where the game ball rides on the upper side of the external terminal board unit 203 will be described. The external terminal board unit 203 is provided on the uppermost back surface of the gaming machine main body 12, and a tank 221 that opens upward to store game balls is provided on the side of the external terminal board unit 203 (see FIG. 9). Since the game balls are supplied to the tank 221 from the island facility, the game balls supplied toward the tank 221 collide with each other, or the game balls stored by the opening / closing operation of the game machine main body 12 are shaken. As a result, a situation in which the vehicle rides on the upper side of the external terminal board unit 203 may occur. It is assumed that this game ball becomes an obstacle during wiring connection to or removal from the external terminal board unit 203.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 11A, the uppermost surface of the external terminal plate unit 203 is formed in an upward plane shape by the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301. For this reason, the game ball riding on the uppermost surface of the external terminal board unit 203 easily rolls to the front side or the rear side, and can be easily removed only by lightly pushing with a hand. Further, by opening the case cover 301, as shown in FIG. 15 (b), the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301 is inclined downward to the front side, so that the cover operating portion 426 is operated. Thus, the game ball can be removed. In this case, the front upper surface portion 312 of the back pack 201 is connected to the front side with respect to the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301, and the tank 221 opens upward to the side with respect to the front upper surface portion 312. Provided (see FIG. 4). Therefore, the operator can push the game ball back into the tank 221 by moving the game ball to the front side of the upper plate 401 of the case cover 301 and pushing the game ball toward the tank 221 side.

  When a game ball rides on the rear side of the upper plate portion 401 of the case cover 301, the rear wall of the connector cover portion 409 is located behind the rear end of the insertion operation portion 372 whose upper side is covered by the case cover 301 or the connector cover portion 409. A game ball is positioned on 422. That is, the game ball rides on any one of the upper surfaces of the cover plate portion 435, the relay rear side cover portion 433, and the back wall 422 of the connector cover portion 409. In this situation, the game ball is guided rearward and flows downward, or as described above, the game ball is pushed into the rail opening 222a by the operator.

  Here, as a modified example in which a part of the configuration is changed with respect to the pachinko machine 10 in the present embodiment, the game ball is guided to the rail opening 222a on the rear side of the gaming machine body 12 with respect to the external terminal board unit 203. Guiding means may be provided. The configuration of this guiding means will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is an explanatory view showing a modification in which guide means is provided around the external terminal board unit 203. In addition, about description of a modification, only a different part from the pachinko machine 10 in this embodiment is demonstrated, About the same part, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected and description is abbreviate | omitted.

  Around the external terminal plate unit 203, a rear guide plate 501, a guide projection 502, and a side guide plate 503 are provided as guide means for guiding the game ball toward the rail opening 222a. The rear guide plate 501 is a plate-shaped synthetic resin member that is continuous with the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 below the rear edge 433a of the relay rear cover portion 433, and is located on the rear side of the back pack 201. It is fixed on the upper surface portion 313 with screws or the like. The upper surface of the rear guide plate 501 is inclined downward to the left in the rear view corresponding to the rail opening 222a side. A plurality of protruding ridges 501a are provided side by side.

  A plurality of guide protrusions 502 are provided in a line on the rear side of the cover plate part 435 and on the upper surface of the rear upper surface part 313 of the back pack 201. The upper surface of the guide projection 502 forms a downwardly inclined surface that continues from the rear side of the cover plate portion 435 to the front edge 222b of the rail opening 222a, and the game ball positioned on the guide projection 502 is open to the rail. Guided to section 222a.

  The side guide plate 503 is a plate-shaped synthetic resin member having an upper surface located slightly below the upper surface of the external terminal plate unit 203, and the upper surface of the side guide plate 503 is viewed from the back with respect to the external terminal plate unit 203. A plurality of protrusions 503a are provided side by side that are continuous from the left side to the rear side, bend to the right in the rear view so as to be located on the rear side of the external terminal board unit 203, and have a rear end side portion extending to the upper side of the rail opening 222a. It has been. The protrusion 503a is formed such that the upper surface is lower toward the side closer to the rail opening 222a, and the game ball positioned on the side guide plate 503 is guided to the rail opening 222a. The front portion of the side guide plate 503 continues to a position close to the rear side of the front upper surface portion 312 of the back pack 201, and the game ball riding on the case cover 301 moves to the front upper surface portion 312 of the back pack 201. It is easy to push it into the side guide plate 503 side easily.

  By providing at least one of the rear guide plate 501, the guide protrusion 502 and the side guide plate 503, the game ball riding on the external terminal plate unit 203 is opened to the rail along the arrow direction in FIG. 19. It is easy to be guided to the part 222a, and it is possible to make it difficult for the game balls to be scattered in the game hall or the back side of the game machine main body 12. Note that it is not always necessary to guide the game ball by the shape protruding upward, and if the game ball can be guided to the rail opening 222a side, it may be configured by other shapes such as a guide means in a groove shape. May be.

  Next, a configuration in which a game ball can be removed when a game ball rides on the terminal block 343 of the external terminal board unit 203 during wiring connection work will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 20 is a diagram schematically showing a state in which game balls stay on the terminal block 343 of the external terminal board unit 203.

  In the terminal block 343, the top surface portion 361 where the insertion portion 302 is provided faces obliquely upward to the rear, and the wiring support portion 416 is provided on the rear side thereof. It is assumed that a game ball stays on them. With respect to this staying state, the external terminal board unit 203 in the present embodiment is configured such that the game ball is pushed rearward by closing the case cover 301, specifically, the wiring support portion 416 for the top surface portion 361. And the moving direction of the inner surface of the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 are set.

  The wiring support portion 416 is set to be lower than the radius of the game ball along the direction in which the top surface portion 361 faces with respect to the top surface portion 361 and to be at a height position at which the game ball is pushed out by the closing operation of the case cover 301. ing. The external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 can be in contact with the game ball whose inner surface is supported on the upper side of the top surface portion 361 and the wiring support portion 416, and the game ball is switched by the switching operation from the open state to the closed state. The position of the rotation center axis J2 of the case cover 301 is set so as to be a surface that pushes out the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12.

  Specifically, the inner surface of the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 passes through the contact point P1 that contacts the game ball supported on the upper side of the top surface portion 361 and the wiring support portion 416 in a side view, and the center of the game ball. The position of the rotation center axis J2 of the case cover 301 and the height position of the wiring support portion 416 are set so that the upper end of the wiring support portion 416 is positioned below the virtual straight line L1. Thereby, a force in the direction toward the center side of the game ball acts on the game ball staying on the upper side of the top surface portion 361 and the wiring support portion 416, and the game ball is attached to the case cover 301 by the resultant force. As a result of the closing operation, the game machine body 12 is pushed obliquely upward to the rear, moves over the wiring support portion 416, moves to the rear side, and flows down through the upper surface of the relay rear side cover portion 433. Therefore, it is possible to easily remove the game ball during the wiring connection work.

  Next, an operation of connecting the wiring of the external device to the external terminal board unit 203 by a procedure different from the above procedure will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 21 is an explanatory diagram showing a procedure for removing the external terminal board unit 203. In the above-described procedure, the wiring connection operation is described with the external terminal board unit 203 attached to the gaming machine main body 12, but the external terminal board unit 203 is detached from the gaming machine main body 12 and the external device The wiring connection work of the external device may be performed by connecting the wiring and attaching the external terminal board unit 203 to which the wiring of the external device is connected to the gaming machine main body 12.

  The external terminal board unit 203 may be removed from the gaming machine body 12 in a single state before the pachinko machine 10 is installed in the game hall, or after the pachinko machine 10 is installed in the gaming hall, the gaming machine body 12 is removed. You may open | release with respect to the outer frame 11.

  On the upper right side of the back side of the gaming machine main body 12, as shown in FIG. 21 (a), a plurality of wires are led out from the external terminal board unit 203 through a main body side wiring passage opening 305 that opens on the right side surface of the back side. The wiring continues into the accommodation space of the back pack 201. An engaging claw portion 304 as a unit fixing means for fixing the external terminal board unit 203 to the back pack 201 is located on the lower front side of the gaming machine main body 12 with respect to the main body side wiring passage opening 305. For this reason, the removal operation of the external terminal board unit 203 by operating the engaging claw part 304 is obstructed by the wiring.

  First, the worker opens the case cover 301. Then, the connection between the connector 451 on the gaming machine main body 12 side connected to the connector 342 of the external terminal board unit 203 and the connector 342 of the external terminal board unit 203 is released, and the connector 342 of the external terminal board unit 203 is connected. The wiring 452 that has been moved is moved to a position away from the main body side wiring passage port 305 (state shown in FIG. 21B). As a result, the engaging claw portion 304 can be easily operated from the back side of the gaming machine main body 12, and the operator can release a part of the engaging claw portion 304 from the outside (FIG. 21B). The engagement state between the engagement claw portion 304 and the attached portion 323 of the back pack 201 is released, and the external terminal board unit 203 is detached from the back pack 201.

  With respect to the single unit of the external terminal board unit 203 removed from the back pack 201, the operator repeatedly performs an operation of connecting the wiring of the external device to the insertion portion 302 while operating the insertion operation portion 372. Perform wiring connection. In addition, it is not always necessary to perform the wiring connection work for the single unit of the external terminal board unit 203. In order to fix the external terminal board unit 203, for example, a portion having the same shape as the attached portions 322 and 323 is played. It may be provided in the island facility of the field, and the wiring connection may be performed with the external terminal board unit 203 fixed to the island facility, or the lower portion of the back pack 201 on the back side of the gaming machine body 12 is covered. A portion having the same shape as the mounting portions 322 and 323 may be formed, and a short operator may fix the external terminal board unit 203 to a low position on the back side of the gaming machine main body 12 and execute the wiring connection work. .

  After the wiring connection work is completed, the case cover 301 is closed, and then the external terminal board unit 203 is fixed to the terminal board mounting portion 311 of the gaming machine body 12. In this case, since the case cover 301 is in the closed state, the wiring of the external device is difficult to be disconnected, so that it is possible to prevent the wiring from being disconnected during the movement of the external terminal board unit 203 in which the wiring connection is completed. The unit fixing means of the external terminal plate unit 203 is constituted by the engaging protrusion 303 and the engaging claw 304, and the external terminal plate unit 203 is connected to the terminal plate mounting portion 311 while the case cover 301 is kept closed. It is possible to prevent the wiring from being detached during the mounting operation of the external terminal plate unit 203 to the terminal plate mounting portion 311. Therefore, the external terminal board unit 203 can be made compatible with an operator who can easily work by once removing the external terminal board unit 203 and performing the wiring connection, and the workability of the wiring connection can be improved.

  Further, the connector cover 409 is continuous to the direction away from the rotation center axis J2 from the external output cover 406 with which the wiring contacts (see FIG. 14). For this reason, it is possible to output a large rotational force with a small force by opening and closing the external output cover portion 406 using the cover operation portion 426 provided in the connector cover portion 409 as an operation portion. Therefore, even when a large number of wires are connected to the plurality of insertion portions 302, the external output cover portion 406 can be closed relatively easily.

  As described above, the external terminal plate unit 203 is attached to the terminal plate attachment portion 311 by the engaging claw portion 304 provided on the board base 332, and the attachment state is established by manual operation from the back side of the gaming machine main body 12. On the other hand, the external terminal board unit 203 can be moved by releasing the fixed state by the engaging claw portion 304. For this reason, an operator can perform wiring connection after moving the external terminal board unit 203 with respect to the attachment state, and can return the external terminal board unit 203 to the attachment state after the wiring connection. For this reason, the worker who feels that it is difficult to connect the wiring in the arrangement of the insertion portion 302 and the insertion operation portion 372 can move the external terminal board unit 203 to perform the wiring operation.

  Further, since the external terminal plate unit 203 can be attached to the terminal plate attachment portion 311 with the case cover 301 being closed, the external terminal plate unit 203 is moved from the terminal plate attachment portion 311. After wiring is connected to the external terminal board unit 203, and then the case cover 301 is closed, the external terminal board unit 203 can be fixed in the attached state while the closed state is maintained. Since the external output cover 406 can prevent the wiring from being disconnected by closing the case cover 301, it prevents the wiring once connected from being inadvertently disconnected during the mounting operation of the external terminal board unit 203. be able to. Therefore, workability when removing the external terminal board unit 203 and connecting the wiring can be improved.

  Further, when the case cover 301 (external output cover portion 406) is in a closed state, the release operation on the outer surface of the engaging claw portion 304 is hindered by the wiring 452, and the wiring is provided by opening the case cover 301. The inhibition state can be released by removing. For this reason, when releasing the state in which the external terminal board unit 203 is fixed in the attached state, the fixed state can be easily released by setting the case cover 301 in the open state as compared with keeping the case cover 301 in the closed state. . On the other hand, the external output cover unit 406 can fix the external terminal board unit 203 in the attached state while being in the closed state. Therefore, while the work of returning the external terminal board unit 203 to the attached state is facilitated, a certain difficulty is added to the release of the fixed state when moving with respect to the attached state, and the external terminal board unit is inadvertent. The movement of 203 can be suppressed. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent the operator from displacing the external terminal board unit 203 by mistake, thereby suppressing a decrease in work efficiency, and the labor of trying to displace the external terminal board unit 203 for the purpose of fraud. Can increase crime prevention.

  In addition, the right side surface on the back side where the engagement claw portion 304 is provided corresponds to the rotation base end side close to the rotation center axis of the gaming machine main body 12 and can be easily visually recognized even when the gaming machine main body 12 is opened. It is a side that cannot be obtained. For this reason, the fixed state of the external terminal board unit 203 is set to be more difficult to prevent the operator from moving the external terminal board unit 203 by mistake, and the displacement of the external terminal board unit 203 for the purpose of fraud is prevented. It can be difficult to increase crime prevention.

  Note that after the external terminal board unit 203 is removed from the terminal board mounting portion 311, it is necessary to reconnect the connector 451 on the gaming machine body 12 side and the connector 342 of the external terminal board unit 203. This connection operation may be performed immediately after the external terminal board unit 203 is removed from the terminal board attaching portion 311, or after the external terminal board unit 203 is attached after the external device is connected to the wiring. Alternatively, 301 may be opened once. Further, when the external terminal board unit 203 is removed from the terminal board mounting portion 311, the wiring after the case cover 301 is opened without removing the connector 451 on the gaming machine main body 12 side from the connector 342 of the external terminal board unit 203. Only the terminal 452 may be moved and the external terminal board unit 203 may be removed. Further, another connector provided at a position opposite to the connector 451 with respect to the wiring 452 on the gaming machine main body 12 side is detached from the gaming machine main body 12, and the wiring 452 is moved from the outside of the engaging claw portion 304, The external terminal board unit 203 may be removed from the terminal board mounting portion 311.

  In addition, the wiring 452 connected to the external terminal plate unit 203 does not need to be configured to prevent the release operation of the fixed state of the external terminal plate unit 203 from being performed, and the release operation is blocked by a part of the case cover 301. Also good. For example, it may be configured to cover the release operation portion corresponding to the outer side surface of the locking claw portion 304 in the closed state of the case cover 301, and a portion that extends the side wall 423 to cover the outer portion of the locking claw portion 304 is provided. May be. Even in this case, when the case cover 301 is in the closed state, the locking claw 304 is difficult to operate, and when the case cover 301 is in the open state, the blocked state is released, It can be set as the cancellation | release state which can operate the nail | claw part 304 easily.

  Next, indirect display means provided in the external terminal board unit 203 will be described with reference to FIGS. 22A is a cross-sectional view of the external terminal board unit 203 as viewed from the side, and FIG. 22B is an enlarged view of a part of the operation lever 353 shown in FIG. FIG. 22C is a diagram showing a connection state of the operation lever 353 with respect to FIG. 22B. FIG. 23 is a view of the external terminal board unit 203 as viewed from the front surface side of the external output board 331. FIGS. 22A and 23 also illustrate the operator's fingertips and the wiring connected to the plug-in portion 302.

  The indirect display means is means for indirectly displaying a portion of the external terminal board unit 203 that cannot be directly visually recognized in order to improve the workability of wiring connection by an operator. The indirect display means may be composed of a member that is formed of a light-transmitting material and that indirectly displays using light refraction, or that indirectly displays using a reflecting surface configured in a mirror shape. You may comprise by.

  Here, the insertion operation portion 372 operated in the wiring connection work is formed to be narrow and short in length so that a large number of wires can be connected in the external terminal board unit 203 having a limited size. For this reason, in the external terminal board unit 203 in this embodiment in which the insertion operation unit 372 protrudes to the rear side of the gaming machine main body 12 where the operator is positioned with respect to the terminal block 343, the finger for performing wiring work In this case, it is assumed that the insertion operation unit 372 is hidden and the color of the insertion operation unit 372 colored corresponding to the output information becomes difficult to check. As shown in FIGS. 22A and 23, when the finger is positioned obliquely rearward and upward with respect to the insertion operation portion 372 of the operation lever 353, the operation lever 353 during wiring work is hidden by the finger. In such a case, there may be a situation where the wiring to be connected is erroneously reconnected, or there is a possibility that the fingertip is once separated from the operation lever 353 and the operation is performed again for color confirmation.

  On the other hand, the external terminal board unit 203 in this embodiment is provided with a wiring support portion 416 as indirect display means. The wiring support portion 416 is formed of a light-transmitting material (for example, polycarbonate) and is positioned above the operation lever 353. A portion of the operation lever 353 is copied to the wiring support portion 416 at a position higher than the operation lever 353, and the rear side. More indirectly visible.

  As shown in FIG. 22 (b), the visible direction is bent by the refraction of light in the wiring support portion 416 with respect to the line-of-sight direction from the diagonally upper rear side (the arrow direction in FIG. 22 (b)). A part of the operation lever 353 is copied as an indirect display 416c on the upper surface of 416 (see FIG. 23). For this reason, the color of the operation lever 353 can be confirmed on the upper side of the fingertip, and the operation can be performed while comparing with the wiring to be connected. Therefore, the situation where the connection destination of the wiring is wrong or the operation lever 353 is reconfirmed is reduced, and the wiring connection work can be easily performed.

  In addition, since the wiring support part 416 is a part that is located directly below the wiring connected to the plug-in part 302 and supports the wiring, the wiring to be connected and the operation lever 353 displayed as the indirect display 416c. Wiring connection work can be performed while checking the colors side by side. Therefore, wiring connection mistakes can be further reduced, and workability can be improved at a lower cost than in the case where the indirect display means is constituted by a dedicated member.

  As shown in FIG. 22A, the upper surface of the wiring support portion 416 is configured by combining a surface that faces obliquely upward to the rear, a surface that faces upward, and a surface that faces the obliquely upward front side. Two projecting portions 416a and 416b projecting upward in a shape where the central portion is recessed downward are formed in a cross-sectional shape in which the front and rear are aligned. In the two protrusions 416a and 416b, the front protrusion 416a is provided at a low position, and the rear protrusion 416b is provided at a high position. The two protrusions 416a and 416b have an arc shape on the front side as viewed from the side, and unlike the front side, the rear side has an outer shape that is bent in side view by combining three planes. The shape of the lower part of the wiring support part 416 is different from the number of protrusions on the upper side, and protrudes downward at substantially one central position in the front-rear direction. The upper surface of the wiring support portion 416 is configured by a surface facing a plurality of directions, and a plurality of protrusions having different height positions are formed with different cross-sectional shapes at different positions in the front and rear, and When the worker visually recognizes the wiring support portion 416 from the back side of the gaming machine main body 12 by varying the number of the upper and lower protrusions, the wiring support portion 416 at different angles from different height positions for each worker. Even if it is visually recognized, the color of the operation lever 353 can be confirmed from the rear side of the gaming machine body 12 by the refraction and reflection of light in the wiring support portion 416.

  The shape of the upper surface and the lower surface of the wiring support portion 416 is not limited to the position, number, and shape in the above embodiment, and the number of upper and lower protrusions may be different, and the shapes of the two protrusions 416a, 416b are different. The two protrusions 416a and 416b may have the same cross-sectional shape, the height positions of the two protrusions 416a and 416b may be the same, or the rear protrusion 416b may be lowered. It may be arranged.

  Further, the case cover 301 may be configured as an indirect display means, and for example, a reflection function may be added to the case cover 301. For example, as shown in FIG. 22A, a reflection portion 511 that can reflect light is formed on the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 by aluminum vapor deposition or plating. This reflection part 511 may be comprised in the shape of a mirror surface by the half mirror which has translucency, and may be comprised by the mirror surface which does not have translucency. Moreover, it is preferable to form the reflective part 511 over the whole region of the left-right direction of the case cover 301 in which the insertion part 302 is formed. The shape and size of the reflection portion 511 may be different from each other by changing the shape of the case cover 301. The reflection portion 511 is not necessarily provided only in the case cover 301, and the reflection portion is provided as a part of the substrate base 332. Also good.

  When the case cover 301 is in an open state, the reflecting portion 511 is positioned on the upper side with respect to the insertion portion 302 so as to face obliquely downward on the rear side, and the line-of-sight direction from the obliquely upper rear side of the gaming machine body 12 (FIG. 22 (a ) In the direction of the arrow toward the reflecting portion 511), the insertion portion 302 is copied to the reflecting portion 511 as an indirect display 511a. In this case, the reflecting portion 511 is located on the front diagonal upper side (left upper side in FIG. 22A) corresponding to one side across the insertion portion 302, and the rear diagonal lower side (FIG. 22 (FIG. 22 (a)). A part of the operation lever 353 is located on the lower right side of a), and the color of the operation lever 353 can be confirmed by the reflecting portion 511. In addition, the leading end portion of the wiring to be connected is also copied to the reflecting portion 511. By bringing the leading end portion of the wiring close to the inserting portion 302, the peripheral portion of the indirect display 511a of the inserting portion 302 is displayed. For example, the image is copied as an indirect display 511b (see FIG. 23).

  Here, in the external terminal board unit 203 in the present embodiment, since the insertion portion 302 is located on the back side with respect to the operator, it may be difficult to align the leading end of the wiring with the opening of the insertion portion 302. . In particular, the wiring of the external device is likely to be bent because the same wiring is repeatedly used in the replacement of the gaming machine, and the positioning is difficult.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 23, the relative position between the wiring and the plug-in portion 302 is changed by reflecting the plug-in portion 302 and its peripheral portion on the reflective portion 511 of the case cover 301. In addition to being directly visible from the rear side, the external output cover portion 406 of the case cover 301 can be visually recognized from the upper side, specifically from the obliquely upper front side.
