The reel control board is connected to a wiring cord connected to a stepping motor and a rotation detection sensor, and a wiring code connected to a main control board (not shown) for controlling the game. As shown in FIG. 1, the top plate 5 of the reel unit 1 is provided with a wiring holding portion 15 for holding the wiring cords together on the top surface of the top plate 5. Two wiring holding portions 15 are provided on the right side and the left side of the top surface of the top plate 5, and, as shown in FIG. It can be held in a lying state. Each wiring holding portion 15 is provided with a wiring holding structure for holding the wiring code X in the wiring holding portion 15. The wiring holding structures provided in the four wiring holding parts 15 are all the same.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wiring holding structure disposed in the wiring holding portion 15 is constituted by a holding piece 18 that is integrally formed with the top plate 5. The holding piece 18 extends over the wiring holding portion 15 so as to straddle from the back side to the near side of the wiring holding portion 15 a, and holds the wiring cord X of the wiring holding portion 15 so as to cover the top plate 5 from above. To do. The tip of the holding piece 18 is an open end, and the holding piece 18 has a narrow wiring insertion port 22 for inserting the wiring cord X into the wiring holding portion 15 on the front side of the wiring holding portion 15. Form. The holding piece 18 is a tongue piece having a rectangular shape in plan view, and includes a standing part 40, a horizontal extension part 41, and a proximity extension part 42. The standing portion 40 is erected on the upper surface of the top plate 5 on the back side of the wiring holding portion 15. The horizontal extension part 41 extends horizontally from the upper end of the upright part 40 to the near side and covers the wiring holding part 15 from above. The proximate extension portion 42 has a V-shape in a side view extending obliquely upward after extending obliquely downward from the tip of the horizontal extension portion 41, and the bent portion and the top plate of the proximate extension portion 42 5 is formed with a wiring insertion port 22. The holding piece 18 is configured to be able to tilt the proximity extending portion 42 on the distal end side in the vertical direction by bending in the vertical direction. Further, the top plate 5 is formed with a rectangular opening 44 at a portion facing the holding piece 18 in the vertical direction. The opening 44 is for facilitating integral molding of the top plate 5 and the holding piece 18 by injection molding. The wiring holding portion according to the present invention includes those provided on the opening 44 formed in the top plate 5 as in the present embodiment. That is, the holding plate surface according to the present invention includes not only the plate material but also the opening formed in the plate material.

  As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the wiring holding unit 15 is configured to hold the three wiring cords X in a state of being laid in the left-right direction. The three wiring cords X held by the wiring holding portion 15 constitute the same wire harness, and both ends of the three wiring cords X are connected to a common connector (not shown). As shown in FIG. 2, the back side of the wiring holding part 15 is covered by the standing part 40 of the holding piece 18, and the upper side is covered by the horizontal extending part 41 of the holding piece 18. The wiring code X can be inserted only from the wiring insertion port 22 formed on the front side of the wiring holding portion 15. As will be described later, the wiring holding structure of the present embodiment is configured so that the wiring cord X held in the wiring holding portion 15 can be easily extracted in order to enable replacement repair and reuse of the wire harness. Yes.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the wiring insertion port 22 is a portion where the gap between the top plate 5 and the holding piece 18 is the narrowest on the front side of the wiring holding portion 15, and the bend of the adjacent extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18. Is formed between the portion and the top plate 5. The width W of the wiring insertion port 22 is narrower than the diameter D of the wiring cord X in a normal state (a state where the holding piece 18 is not bent). For this reason, the wiring cord X held in the wiring holding portion 15 is not dropped from the wiring holding portion 15 due to vibration or impact applied to the top plate 5. Thus, although the wiring insertion port 22 normally has a width that makes it difficult for the wiring cord X to pass through, the wiring cord X can be easily passed by bending the tip end side of the holding piece 18 upward. Can be widened.

  As shown in FIG. 3, the proximity extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18 that forms the wiring insertion port 22 has a V-shape when viewed from the side, and the top plate 5 is located on the front side and the back side of the wiring insertion port 22. The interval between the holding pieces 18 is tapered toward the wiring insertion opening 22. For this reason, when inserting / removing the wiring cord X into / from the wiring holding portion 15, as shown in FIG. 4, if the wiring cord X is pushed into the wiring insertion port 22 along the top plate 5, the wiring cord X extends adjacently. By pressing the portion 42 and the holding piece 18 bends upward, the wiring insertion port 22 can be widened to a width equal to or larger than the diameter D of the wiring cord X. Thus, in such a wiring holding structure, the wiring code X can pass through the wiring insertion port 22 by pushing the wiring code X into the wiring insertion port 22 along the top plate 5. When inserting / removing from / to the portion 15, it is necessary to press the wiring cord X against the adjacent extension portion 42 of the holding piece 18.

  In the wiring holding structure of the present embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 5A to 5C, both side edges of the proximity extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18 are corners on the upper surface side of the top plate 5. 46 is rounded and rounded. When inserting / removing the wiring cord X, when the wiring cord X is pressed against the adjacent extension portion 42 of the holding piece 18, the wiring cord X comes into contact with the corner portion 46 of the holding piece 18, as shown in FIG. However, in this embodiment, the corner portion 46 has a rounded shape, and the contact area between the wiring cord X and the corner portion 46 is larger than that of the conventional configuration, so that a load applied to the coating of the wiring cord X is increased. Distributed compared to the conventional configuration. Therefore, in the present embodiment, even when the wiring cord X is strongly pressed against the proximity extension portion 42 when the wiring cord X is passed through the wiring insertion port 22, the corner portion 46 of the proximity extension portion 42 is used. There is an advantage that the coating of the wiring cord X is hardly broken.

In this embodiment, the wiring holding structure of the first embodiment is partially changed. In addition, since structures other than the changed part demonstrated below are common in Example 1, about the common structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected in a text and a figure, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.
In the first embodiment, the side edges of the proximity extension portion 42 of the holding piece 18 are rounded at the corners 46 on the upper surface side of the top plate 5 (see FIG. 6). As shown in FIG. 7, the same corner 46 is chamfered instead of a round shape. In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 7, the contact area between the wiring cord X and the corner portion 46 is brought into the conventional configuration by the wiring cord X coming into contact with the slope formed at the corner portion 46 by chamfering. In comparison with the conventional configuration, the load applied to the coating of the wiring cord X is distributed. Therefore, even in the present embodiment, even when the wiring cord X is strongly pressed against the proximity extension portion 42 when the wiring cord X is passed through the wiring insertion port 22, the corner portion 46 of the proximity extension portion 42 is used. There is an advantage that the coating of the wiring cord X is hardly broken.

  In the present embodiment, the shape of both side edges of the proximity extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18 is changed from the first embodiment. In addition, since the other structure is common in Example 1, about the common structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected in a text and a figure, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  As shown in FIG. 8, even in this embodiment, the width W of the wiring insertion port 22 is normally smaller than the diameter D of the wiring cord X, so that the wiring cord X is connected to the wiring insertion port 22. In order to pass, it is necessary to press the wiring cord X against the adjacent extension portion 42 and bend the holding piece 18 upward to widen the wiring insertion port 22. Here, in this embodiment, as shown in FIG. 9, the staircases that are reduced in width toward the upper surface of the top plate 5 on the upper surface side of the top plate 5 are formed on both side edges of the proximity extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18. A corner 46a is formed, and two corners 49a and 49b that are squared at right angles are formed inside and outside the corner 46a. The stepped corner portion 46a is continuous over the entire length of the adjacent extension portion 42, and the corner portion 46a extends in the extending direction of the holding piece 18 between the two steps of the corners 49a and 49b. A straight groove 48 extending along the line is formed.

  According to such a configuration, as shown in FIG. 10, when the wiring cord X is pressed against the close extension portion 42, the wiring cord X abuts against the inner and outer corners 49 a and 49 b of the corner portion 46 at two locations. The load applied to the coating of the wiring cord X is divided into two. Therefore, even in the present embodiment, even when the wiring cord X is strongly pressed against the proximity extension portion 42 when the wiring cord X is passed through the wiring insertion port 22, the corner portion 46 a of the proximity extension portion 42 is used. There is an advantage that the coating of the wiring cord X is hardly broken.

  Further, when this embodiment is compared with the first and second embodiments, in the first and second embodiments (see FIGS. 6 and 7), the wiring cord X and the corner portion 46 are in surface contact at one location. When passing the wire through the wiring insertion port 22, there is a concern that the wiring cord X may be twisted and disconnected due to friction with the corner portion 46. On the other hand, in the present embodiment (see FIG. 10), the wiring cord X and the corner 46a of the holding piece 18 are in contact with each other at two locations, so that when the wiring cord X is strongly pressed against the adjacent extension portion 42, the wiring There is an advantage that the cord X is difficult to twist and the wiring cord X is not likely to be disconnected.

  FIGS. 11A to 11C show a wiring holding structure of a modified example in which the wiring holding structure of the third embodiment is partially changed. Hereinafter, each modified example will be described. Since the configuration other than the changed portion described below is the same as that of the third embodiment, the same reference numerals are used in the text and the drawings for the common configuration, and detailed description will be given. Omitted.

  FIG. 11A is a modification in which the shape of both side edges of the proximity extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18 is changed. Specifically, in this modification, the corners 46b on the upper surface side of the top plate 5 on both side edges of the proximity extending portion 42 are formed in three steps, and the corner 46b includes three steps. The corners 49a, 49b, 49c are formed on the inside, outside, and center. In such a modified example, when the wiring cord X is pressed against the proximity extension portion 42, the wiring cord X contacts the three corners 49a, 49b, 49c of the corner portion 46b at three locations. The load applied to the coating can be divided into three. As described above, the stepped corner portion according to the present invention is not limited to two steps, and may have three or more stepped shapes.

  FIG. 11B is a modification in which the shape of the proximity extending portion 42 of the holding piece 18 is changed. Specifically, in the present modification, a wide concave groove 47 is formed in the central portion on the side facing the top surface of the top plate 5 in the proximity extending portion 42. As in this modification, the shape of the central portion of the holding piece according to the present invention is not particularly limited as long as stepped corners are formed on both side edges, and can be appropriately changed.

  FIG. 11C is a modification in which roundness is given to the inner and outer corners 49a and 49b of the stepped corner 46a. Thus, the stepped corners according to the present invention may be rounded at some or all corners. In the third embodiment, the stepped corner 46a is bent at a right angle. However, the stepped corner according to the present invention is not limited to a bent corner at a right angle, and the corner has an acute angle. Or it may be bent at an obtuse angle.

  This embodiment is obtained by changing the position of the wiring holding portion and the configuration of the wiring holding structure from the third embodiment. Configurations not mentioned in the following description are the same as those in the third embodiment. For this reason, about the common structure, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected in a text and a figure, and detailed description is abbreviate | omitted.

  In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 12, the wiring holding portion 15 a is provided on the upper surface of the top plate 5 on the near side of the substrate case 9. The wiring holding portion 15a is configured to hold the three wiring cords X in a state of being laid in the left-right direction. The three wiring cords X held by the wiring holding portion 15a constitute the same wire harness, and both ends of the three wiring cords X are connected to a common connector (not shown). The wiring holding structure for holding the wiring cord X in the wiring holding portion 15a includes a front end 17 of the substrate case 9, a holding piece 18a extending from the front end 17 to the front, and the top plate 5. And a pair of raised ribs 20 extending back and forth along the left and right side edges of the holding piece 18a. In addition, although the reinforcing rib 21 extended in the left-right direction is also formed in the upper surface of the top plate 5 around the wiring holding portion 15a, the reinforcing rib 21 is a dedicated rib for reinforcing the top plate 5, It does not have a function of holding the wiring code X. Further, as will be described later, the wiring holding structure of the present embodiment is configured such that the wiring cord X held in the wiring holding portion 15a can be extracted in order to enable replacement repair and reuse of the wire harness.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the holding piece 18 a is formed integrally with the substrate case 9, and extends on the wiring holding portion 15 a so as to straddle from the back side of the wiring holding portion 15 a to the near side. Narrow wiring for holding the wiring cord X of the wiring holding portion 15a so as to cover the top plate 5 from above and inserting the wiring cord X into the wiring holding portion 15a on the front side of the wiring holding portion 15a. The insertion port 22 is formed. The holding piece 18a is a tongue piece having a rectangular shape in plan view, and extends horizontally from the front end 17 of the board case 9 to the front side to cover the wiring holding portion 15a, A separating extension that bends upward at the tip of the horizontal extension 23 and extends obliquely upward toward the near side; and a most advanced portion 25 that extends substantially horizontally from the tip of the spacing extension; Consists of. And this holding piece 18a is formed so that the separate extension part and the most advanced part 25 can be tilted up and down by bending the horizontal extension part 23 up and down. In addition, the holding piece 18a is formed with a small protrusion 26 that protrudes toward the top surface of the top plate 5 at the tip of the horizontal extension 23, and the holding piece 18a is reinforced on the base end side of the holding piece 18a. For this purpose, reinforcing ribs 27 are formed.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 to 15, the pair of raised ribs 20 are formed on the top surface of the top plate 5, and are formed on the front and rear sides along the left and right edges of the holding piece 18 a. The raised ribs 20 are formed integrally with the top plate 5, and the pair of raised ribs 20 are provided at symmetrical positions around the holding piece 18a and have a symmetrical shape. The raising rib 20 is formed from the front side of the substrate case 9 over the entire length of the holding piece 18 a and extends to the front end of the top plate 5. More specifically, the raised rib 20 has a relatively low low wall portion 29 formed so as to cross the wiring holding portion 15a from the near side of the substrate case 9, and a relatively high height formed on the near side of the wiring holding portion 15a. The high wall portion 31 and the inclined wall portion 30 formed between the low wall portion 29 and the high wall portion 31 and continuously inclined from the height of the low wall portion 29 to the height of the high wall portion 31 are configured. The In addition, as shown in FIG. 13, the raising rib 20 is formed in the outer side of the both-sides edge of the holding piece 18a, and does not overlap with the holding piece 18a in the up-down direction.

  As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the wiring insertion port 22 is on the front side of the wiring holding portion 15 a and is formed between the side edge portion of the holding piece 18 a and the upper end portion of the raised rib 20. And the gap between the raised ribs 20 is the narrowest part. As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15 (b), the wiring insertion port 22 is in a normal state (a state in which the holding piece 18a is not bent), and is separated from the distal end side of the horizontal extending portion 23 of the holding piece 18a. The base end side of the raised rib 20 is formed in a portion overlapping with the inclined wall portion 30 on the left and right. In the normal state, the wiring insertion opening 22 has a width that makes it difficult for the wiring cord X to pass therethrough so that the wiring cord X does not fall off the wiring holding portion 15a due to vibration or impact, but the holding piece 18a is bent upward. Thus, the wiring cord X can be widened to a width that allows easy passage.

  The wiring insertion port 22 will be described in detail. As shown in FIGS. 16 (a) and 16 (b), the holding piece 18a and the raised rib 20 are normally longer than the length D of the diameter D of the wiring cord X, as shown in FIGS. It overlaps to the left and right over L. And in the part which the holding piece 18a and the raising rib 20 overlap on right and left, the clearance gap between the holding piece 18a and the raising rib 20 becomes the fixed width W narrower than the diameter D of the wiring cord X. For this reason, the wiring insertion port 22 normally has a constant width W that is narrower than the diameter D of the wiring cord X, and is a slit that continues back and forth over a length L that is twice or more the diameter D of the wiring cord X. It has a shape. As described above, the wiring insertion port 22 has a shape in which the wiring cord X cannot normally pass through, but as shown in FIG. 14, the holding piece 18a is bent upward so that the wiring insertion port 22 is connected to the wiring cord. The wiring cord X can be easily passed through the wiring insertion port 22 by expanding the width to a width equal to or larger than the diameter of X.

It inserts between the front-end | tip part 25 and the high wall part 31 of the raising rib 20. As shown in FIG. In this state, when the wiring cord X is pushed inward, as shown in FIG. 17B, the wiring cord X is moved to the wiring insertion port 22 by the guiding action of the separation extending portion 24 and the high wall portion 31. It can be easily reached. Furthermore, the wiring cord X passes through the wiring insertion port 22 by pushing the wiring cord X into the narrow portion between the spaced extension 24 and the high wall portion 31 and bending the holding piece 18a upward. It can be widened to an easy width. For this reason, if the picked wiring cord X is pushed further into the back side, as shown in FIG. 18 (a) → 18 (b) → 18 (c), the widened wiring insertion port 22 is passed through and the wiring cord X can be inserted up to the wiring holding portion 15a.

  When extracting the wiring code X from the wiring holding portion 15a, the procedure reverse to that at the time of insertion is performed. That is, as shown in FIG. 18 (c) → 18 (b), the wiring cord X held in the wiring holding portion 15a is picked on the outside (both sides or one side) of the raising rib 20 and pulled up to the near side. Accordingly, the wiring cord X can easily reach the wiring insertion port 22 by the guiding action of the horizontal extension portion 23 and the inclined wall portion 30. Furthermore, the wiring cord X passes through the wiring insertion opening 22 by pushing the wiring cord X into the narrow portion between the horizontal extension portion 23 and the inclined wall portion 30 and bending the holding piece 18a upward. It can be widened to an easy width. For this reason, if the picked wiring cord X is further lifted to the near side, as shown in FIG. 18 (a) → 17 (b) → 17 (a) The code X can be extracted from the wiring holding part 15a.

  Thus, in the wiring holding structure of the present embodiment, the interval between the holding piece 18a and the raised rib 20 is formed so as to taper from the near side toward the wiring insertion port 22. For this reason, simply inserting the wiring code X from the front side toward the wiring insertion port 22 widens the wiring insertion port 22 to a width that allows the wiring code X to pass through, and inserts the wiring code X into the wiring holding portion 15a. it can. Further, in the wiring holding structure of the present embodiment, the interval between the holding piece 18 a and the raised rib 20 is formed to be tapered from the wiring holding portion 15 a toward the wiring insertion port 22. For this reason, it is possible to widen the wiring insertion port 22 to a width that allows the wiring code X to pass by simply pulling the wiring code X forward from the wiring holding portion 15a, and to remove the wiring code X from the wiring holding portion 15a. it can.

  Further, in this embodiment, the wiring insertion port 22 is formed between the holding piece 18 a and the end of the raised rib 20, and is formed at a position separated from the top surface of the top plate 5 by the height of the raised rib 20. ing. Therefore, as shown in FIGS. 17 and 18, when passing the wiring cord X through the wiring insertion opening 22, the wiring cord X is firmly picked up by the abdomen of the finger without causing the finger to interfere with the upper surface of the top plate 5. There is an advantage that you can work in.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the holding piece 18a is composed of a separation extending portion 24 that extends obliquely upward toward the front side, a horizontal extending portion 23 that extends substantially horizontally, and a foremost portion 25. In all the portions of the holding piece 18a, the holding piece 18a extends in a direction not close to the top surface of the top plate 5. According to this configuration, by pulling the wiring cord X of the wiring holding portion 15a obliquely upward toward the wiring insertion port 22, the wiring cord X can be passed through the wiring insertion port 22 without being hooked on the holding piece 18a. . For this reason, according to the wiring holding structure of the present embodiment, the wiring cord X can be extracted from the wiring holding portion 15a by a one-step operation of pulling the wiring cord X obliquely upward.

  Further, in the present embodiment, the raising rib 20 is inclined upward from the wiring holding portion 15 a toward the wiring insertion opening 22 at the site where the inclined wall portion 30 is formed. According to such a configuration, when the wiring cord X is extracted from the wiring holding portion 15a, the inclined wall portion 30 exerts an effect of guiding the wiring cord X to the height of the wiring insertion port 22. The wiring cord X can be smoothly pulled out from the wiring holding portion 15 a without being hooked on the wiring 20.

  In this embodiment, the wiring insertion port 22 normally has a width W narrower than the diameter D of the wiring cord X, and is twice or more the diameter D of the wiring cord X along the side edge of the holding piece 18a. It forms a slit shape continuous over the length L of. According to this configuration, when the wiring code X is passed through the wiring insertion port 22, the next wiring code X enters the wiring insertion port 22 before the previous wiring code X finishes passing through the widened wiring insertion port 22. Thus, by sandwiching between the holding piece 18a and the raising rib 20, it is possible to prevent the wiring insertion port 22 from returning to the normal state after the previous wiring cord X has passed. For this reason, in the present embodiment, a plurality of wiring cords X can be efficiently passed through the wiring insertion port 22 without increasing the width of the wiring insertion port 22 many times from the normal state.

  In the present embodiment, the raised rib 20 is not only formed on the front side of the wiring holding portion 15a, but also formed so as to cross the wiring holding portion 15a from the back side to the front side. Is held above the top surface of the top plate 5 by the height of the low wall portion 29 of the raised rib 20 in the wiring holding portion 15a.
