Accordingly, the left end portion of the bracket member 330 is arranged in the front-rear direction with respect to the left base member 310 in a state where the base side engaging portions 311, 312, 313 and the bracket side engaging portions 331, 332, 333 are engaged. It is connected so that it can swing.

  Upper and lower case caulking attachment portions 334 and 335 to which the main body caulking member 340 and the caulking die member 345 are attached are formed at positions adjacent to the left side wall in the bracket member 330. A main body caulking member 340 (or a caulking die member 345) having a locking claw is inserted into and attached to the upper case caulking attachment portion 334 from an opening formed on the right side. A caulking die member 345 (or a main body caulking member 340) that does not have a locking claw is inserted into and attached to the lower case caulking attachment portion 335 from an opening formed on the right side. .

An upper temporary fixing hole 348a into which the upper temporary fixing tool 238a of the main board case 210 (case lid 221) can be inserted is formed at the upper left end in the bracket member 330. A lower temporary fixing hole 348b into which the lower temporary fixing tool 238b of the main board case 210 (case lid 221) can be inserted is formed at the lower left end portion in the bracket member 330. The bracket member 3
A cable clamp 336 capable of fixing and holding the front door cable harness 191 is formed in the lower left portion of 30.

  A lock member 360 for fixing the bracket member 330 to the right base member 320 is attached to the upper right portion of the bracket member 330. In addition, case mounting holes 339 and 339 opened to the left are formed in the upper right portion of the bracket member 330 so as to be lined up and down. Case attachment protrusions 219 and 219 of the main board case 210 (case main body 211) can be inserted into the case attachment holes 339 and 339 from the left side.

  In order to mount the main board case 210 containing the main control board 110 inside the case on the bracket member 330, the case mounting protrusions 219 and 219 of the main board case 210 are inserted into the case mounting holes 339 and 339 of the bracket member 330, Then, the upper and lower temporary fixing tools 238 a and 238 b of the main board case 210 are inserted into the upper and lower upper temporary fixing holes 348 a and 348 b of the bracket member 330, and the main board case 210 is inserted into the bracket member 330. When the main board case 210 is inserted into the bracket member 330, the main body caulking member 340 attached to the upper case caulking attachment part 334 is disposed inside the upper case fixing part 225 a of the main board case 210, and the main body caulking member 340 is engaged. A pawl is inserted into the locking groove in the upper case fixing portion 225a. At the same time, the caulking die member 345 attached to the lower case caulking attachment portion 335 is disposed opposite to the inside of the lower case fixing portion 225b of the main board case 210. Thus, the main substrate case 210 is fixed so that it cannot be removed from the bracket member 330 unless the upper case fixing portion 225a of the main substrate case 210 is broken and the locked state with the main body caulking member 340 is released.

  Thus, the main board case 210 is mounted on the bracket member 330 by engaging the right side portion of the main board case 210 with the bracket member 330 and then engaging the left side portion thereof. A caulking die member 345 is attached to the upper case caulking attachment portion 334 and is disposed opposite to the inside of the upper case fixing portion 225a, and a main body caulking member 340 is attached to the lower case caulking attachment portion 335, so that the lower case fixing portion is attached. It is also possible to dispose the locking claw of the main body caulking member 340 into the locking groove in the lower case fixing portion 225b. As a result, the main board case 210 can be attached to the bracket member 330 twice by exchanging the vertical positions of the caulking member 340 and the caulking die member 345.

The locking claws of the main body caulking member 340 are inserted into the locking grooves in the upper case fixing portion 225a of the main board case 210. In this state, when the main board case 210 is removed from the bracket member 330, the upper case fixing part 225a of the main board case 210 is broken and the locked state with the main body caulking member 340 is released. Next, when attaching the removed main board case 210 to the bracket member 330 again, the caulking die member 345 is attached to the upper case caulking attachment portion 334 and the main body caulking member 340 is attached to the lower case caulking attachment portion 335. Then, the locking claws of the main body caulking member 340 are inserted into the locking grooves in the lower case fixing portion 225b of the main board case 210. When the main board case 210 is removed from the bracket member 330, the lower case fixing portion 225b of the main board case 210 is broken to release the locked state with the main body caulking member 340. Further, when the manufacturer or the like collects the main board case 210 removed from the bracket member 330, the used main body caulking member 340 removed from the lower case caulking attachment portion 335 (or the upper case caulking attachment portion 334) The main board case 210 is engaged with the main body side temporary engagement portion 215 and the lid side temporary engagement portion 225c. As a result, the sliding movement of the case lid 221 to the left (the direction in which the case lid 221 is removed) with respect to the case main body 211 of the main board case 210 is restricted, and the case lid 221 is regulated.
Can be fixed so that it cannot be removed from the case main body 211.

  In addition to the main board case 210 being attached to the bracket member 330, a setting changing device 350 is attached.

The information display lamp 156 is configured using a 7-segment LED capable of displaying a 4-digit number or the like. As information on the ratio of an accessory, for example, a two-digit identifier symbol indicating a type of an accessory ratio (an accessory ratio, a continuous accessory ratio, an advantageous period ratio, etc.), and a two-digit ratio corresponding to the identifier symbol The information display lamp 156 can display a 4-digit number or the like in combination. The information display lamp 156 is mounted on the left side of the center of the printed circuit board 111, that is, on the side closer to the hinge mechanisms 6a to 6c than the control chip 121 on the printed circuit board 111. The information display lamp 156 is provided with a seal pasting area between the first display control IC 132A and the third display control IC 132C so that it is easy to confirm information related to the accessory ratio displayed by the information display lamp 156. It is arrange | positioned in the position which does not become AS and arrangement | positioning restriction | limiting area | region CS. Note that the information display lamp 156 may be blocked by the use recording sticker 248 when viewed from an oblique front, and therefore it is not preferable to place the information display lamp 156 at a position adjacent to the sticker application area AS. Therefore, the information display lamp 156 is arranged away from the sticker attachment area AS to the left by a distance that allows the information display lamp 156 to be visually recognized without being blocked by the caulking use recording sticker 248 from diagonally right. It is preferable.

  Further, unlike the control chip 121, the information display lamp 156 (and the setting display lamp 151) is a reusable component. Therefore, when the solvent used for peeling off the sealing seal 242 flows into the main control board 110 inside the case in an attempt to peel off the sealing seal 242 of the main board case 210, the information display lamp 156 (and the setting display lamp 151). It is preferable that the solvent does not adhere to the surface. Therefore, the information display lamp 156 (and the setting display lamp 151) is disposed at a position that does not become the solvent inflow region BS.

  In order to efficiently form (not complicate) the conductor pattern on the printed circuit board 111, information on the path of the conductor pattern between the first and third display control ICs 132A and 132C and the main board side connector 161 is provided. A display lamp 156 is preferably mounted. Therefore, the information display lamp 156 is disposed in the vicinity of the first and third display control ICs 132A and 132C and in the vicinity of the main board side connector 161. The information display lamp 156 is electrically connected to the first and third display control ICs 132A and 132C, and is connected to the first and third display control ICs 132A and 132C on the main control board 110. The spacing is close to the extent that no other electrical element (IC or the like) is provided. Further, the information display lamp 156 has a distance close to the main board connector 161 so that other electric elements (such as ICs) in the main control board 110 are not provided. If another electrical element (IC or the like) is provided between the information display lamp 156 and the first and third display control ICs 132A and 132C or the main board connector 161, it is necessary to bypass it. This is because it becomes difficult to efficiently form the conductor pattern.

As described above, the first display control IC 132A is also used as the segment driver for the setting display lamp 151 and the segment driver for the information display lamp 156. In order to efficiently form a conductor pattern on the printed circuit board 111, it is preferable to mount an information display lamp 156 in the vicinity of the setting display lamp 151. Therefore, the information display lamp 156
Is arranged in the vicinity of the upper part of the setting display lamp 151. The information display lamp 156 has a distance close to the setting display lamp 151 to the extent that no other electric element (IC or the like) on the main control board 110 is provided. However, in order to prevent the numbers displayed on the setting display lamp 151 and the information display lamp 156 from being mistaken as a series of (5-digit) numbers, the setting display lamp 151 and the information display lamp 156 are horizontally arranged. It is preferable that they are arranged so as not to line up.

  The light emitted from each LED element 142 of the monitor lamp 141 is light with relatively high luminance. Therefore, when the information display lamp 156 is arranged in the vicinity of the monitor lamp 141, the light emitted from each LED element 142 reaches the information display lamp 156, and the information regarding the ratio of the accessory displayed on the information display lamp 156 is visually recognized. May be reduced. Therefore, the information display lamp 156 is arranged at a position away from the monitor lamp 141 by a distance that the light from each LED element 142 does not reach the information display lamp 156. When other electric elements are arranged so as to block the light from each LED element 142, the distance between the information display lamp 156 and the monitor lamp 141 is such that the light from each LED element 142 reaches the information display lamp 156. It may be a distance that can be reached. The information display lamp 156 can be arranged in the vicinity of the monitor lamp 141. In this case, however, information on the ratio of the accessory displayed on the information display lamp 156 and the light emission state of each LED element 142 are displayed. Since it can be visually recognized at the same time, it is possible to reduce the labor of confirmation work.

  When the main board-side connector 161 is disposed above the information display lamp 156, the front door cable harness 191 electrically connected to the main board-side connector 161 hangs down to visually cover the front of the information display lamp 156. May interfere with sex. Therefore, the main board side connector 161 is disposed near the left side of the information display lamp 156 except for the upper side of the information display lamp 156. For the same reason, other electrical connectors such as the reel connector 162, the sub-board connector 163, the setting change device connector 164, and the collator connector 165 are arranged at positions other than the information display lamp 156. Is done. In addition, even if the electrical connector such as the main board side connector 161 is located at a position excluding the upper part of the information display lamp 156, the cable harness may cover the front of the information display lamp 156 and hinder visibility. It is preferable to avoid the position.

  The left side portion of the main board case 210 where the main board side connector 161 is exposed is fixed to the bracket member 330 by the first and second case caulking members 340 and 345. When destroying the upper case fixing portion 225a of the main board case 210 to release the locked state with the main body caulking member 340 (for example, when burning with a hot cutter), the information display lamp 156 inside the case is erroneous. It is preferable that it is not destroyed. For this reason, the information display lamp 156 is positioned at a distance that is enough to provide other electrical elements (such as the main board side connector 161) on the main control board 110 to the right of the upper case fixing portion 225a of the main board case 210. Placed in.

  In addition, as described above, the connector cover 246 is attached to the case lid 221 of the main board case 210 by the first cover caulking member 228. When destroying the connector cover 246 to release the locking state with the first cover caulking member 228 (for example, when burning with a hot cutter), the information display lamp 156 inside the case should not be accidentally destroyed. preferable. Therefore, the information display lamp 156 is disposed at a position that does not overlap the first cover caulking attachment portion 229 of the case lid 221 when viewed from the outside of the case lid 221 (a position away from the first cover caulking member 228). .

If the distance between the case lid 221 and the information display lamp 156 of the main board case 210 is too large, the visibility of the information display lamp 156 may be lowered depending on the viewing angle due to the influence of light reflection on the case lid 221. There is. Therefore, the concave portion 237 is formed in the portion of the case lid 221 of the main substrate case 210 that overlaps with the information display lamp 156 as described above. The recess 237 can reduce the distance between the case lid 221 (recess 237) of the main substrate case 210 and the information display lamp 156, and thus the influence of light reflection on the case lid 221 can be suppressed and the information display lamp can be suppressed. The visibility of 156 can be improved. Further, as described above, the right wall portion 237d of the recess 237 is formed in a wall shape inclined to the right side (on the side farther from the hinge mechanisms 6a to 6c) toward the front. The right wall portion 237d allows the concave portion of the case lid 221 without interfering with the ceiling portion of the case lid 221 even when the main board case 210 in the housing 5 is viewed from the diagonally forward right of the direction in which the front door 2 opens. The information display lamp 156 can be visually recognized through 237 (bottom part 237e).

  In addition, it is preferable that the space | interval of the bottom part 237e of the recessed part 237 and the information display lamp 156 is about 0.5 mm. In this way, by ensuring the clearance between the case lid 221 (recess 237) of the main board case 210 and the information display lamp 156, the case lid 221 is pushed in from the outside while ensuring the visibility of the information display lamp 156. Thus, the act of destroying the information display lamp 156, the act of generating static electricity and attempting to destroy the information display lamp 156 can be prevented. When the distance between the bottom 237e of the recess 237 and the information display lamp 156 is about 0.5 mm, the vertical and horizontal lengths of the bottom 237e are larger than those of the information display lamp 156 in order to ensure the visibility of the information display lamp 156. Is preferably about 1 mm larger on one side.

  In the main control device 100 configured as described above, in order to check each part of the main control board 110 accommodated in the main board case 210, the front door 2 is opened and the casing is viewed from the front or diagonally forward to the right. 5, the main board case 210 attached to the inside 5 is visually recognized. At this time, since the information display lamp 156 is arranged at a position that does not become the seal attachment area AS on the main control board 110 (printed board 111), the information display lamp 156 is not obstructed by the caulking use recording seal 248 and is not recessed. Information regarding the ratio of the accessory displayed on the information display lamp 156 can be confirmed via the 237 (bottom portion 237e). Similarly, since the setting display lamp 151 is also arranged at a position that does not become the seal application area AS on the main control board 110, the setting display lamp 151 is not blocked by the caulking use recording seal 248 via the case lid 221. You can check the setting value displayed by. Since the monitor lamp 141 is also arranged at a position that does not become the seal attachment area AS on the main control board 110, each LED constituting the monitor lamp 141 via the case lid 221 is not obstructed by the caulking use recording seal 248. The light emission state of the element 142 can be confirmed. Since the control chip 121 is also arranged at a position that does not become the seal application area AS on the main control board 110, the control chip 121 is not blocked by the caulking use recording seal 248, and the control chip 121 is illegal. It can be confirmed whether or not it is not performed.
