Description

遊技機には、例えば遊技を制御するための制御部が設けられている。この制御部は、基板の部品実装面に複数の電子部品を実装してなり、通常、前面部と後面部と上面部と下面部と左右の側面部とで周囲が囲われた透明な合成樹脂製の基板ボックスに封印された状態で収容されている（特許文献１参照）。 The game machine is provided with a control section for controlling the game, for example. This control unit has multiple electronic components mounted on the component mounting surface of the board, and is usually made of transparent synthetic resin surrounded by a front part, a rear part, a top part, a bottom part, and left and right side parts. It is housed in a sealed state in a board box made by the company (see Patent Document 1).
かかる従来の基板ボックスは、遊技機に設置した状態で前面部が縦になる向きを基準として、基板ボックスの一方の側面部に、前面部とは反対の基板側の縁を垂直に屈曲させて該基板に沿う垂直部を形成すると共に、該垂直部に開設した複数のコネクタ開口から基板に設けられた複数のコネクタ部材を露出させるようになっている。 Such a conventional board box has one side surface of the board box bent perpendicularly to the edge of the board side opposite to the front part, based on the direction in which the front part is vertical when installed in a gaming machine. A vertical portion is formed along the substrate, and a plurality of connector members provided on the substrate are exposed from a plurality of connector openings opened in the vertical portion.

上記した従来の遊技機の基板ボックスは、コネクタ部材の側面が上面部等の面とほぼ平行であり、しかもそれらのごく近くに位置しているため、そこにもし孔が開けられたとしてもコネクタ部材の陰に隠れて見えにくい。したがって、不正を企む者がそのような部位を狙って穿孔し、そこから異物を差し込んで制御部に対して不正工作を行う可能性があり、そしてそのような不正行為が実際に行われたとしても、コネクタ部材に邪魔されて発見が遅れる可能性がある。 In the conventional game machine board box mentioned above, the side surface of the connector member is almost parallel to the top surface, etc., and is located very close to them, so even if a hole is drilled there, the connector It is hidden behind the parts and difficult to see. Therefore, there is a possibility that a person who intends to commit fraud could tamper with the control unit by drilling a hole in such a location and inserting a foreign object through it, and even if such tampering were actually carried out, However, there is a possibility that the connector member may interfere with the detection, resulting in a delay in discovery.

本発明は上記に鑑みなされたもので、その目的は、基板ボックスに対する不正工作が行われ難い遊技機を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine in which unauthorized manipulation of the board box is difficult to be carried out .

上記の目的を達成するために本発明は、
前面部と後面部と上面部と下面部と左右の側面部と封印部とを有する透明な合成樹脂製の基板ボックスと、
該基板ボックス内に前記封印部で封印された状態に収容され、複数の電子部品が実装された部品実装面を当該基板ボックスの前記前面部に対向するように設けられた基板と、を備える遊技機において、
前記基板ボックスは、前記後面部を設置面側とし遊技機に垂直に設置した状態で、少なくとも前記下面部に前記基板の部品実装面に沿う下向きの第１垂直部を形成すると共に、該第１垂直部に開設したコネクタ開口から前記基板に実装されたコネクタ部材を露出させ、
前記下面部の全部又は一部に前記前面部に向かって上向きに傾斜する第１傾斜部を備えており、
さらに、前記基板ボックスは、当該基板ボックスを前記下面部側から見たときに、前記基板に実装される複数の前記コネクタ部材同士が、上下に重なることなく左右に水平向きで間隔をあけて配置されるように、前記第１垂直部に前記コネクタ開口が複数開設されており、
前記第１垂直部に開設された前記コネクタ開口から露出する前記コネクタ部材は、前記第１垂直部と対向する前記基板に形成されたベタパターン上に設けられ、
さらに、前記基板ボックスは、前記後面部を設置面側とし遊技機に垂直に設置した状態で、少なくとも前記上面部に前記基板の部品実装面に沿う上向きの第２垂直部を形成すると共に、該第２垂直部に開設したコネクタ開口から前記基板に実装されたコネクタ部材を露出させており
ことを特徴とする。（例えば、段落２６６７～段落２７１３、図２７０～図２７７等を参照）。 In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides
a transparent synthetic resin board box having a front surface, a rear surface, a top surface, a bottom surface, left and right side surfaces, and a sealing portion;
A board is accommodated in the board box in a sealed state by the sealing part, and a component mounting surface on which a plurality of electronic components are mounted is provided so as to face the front part of the board box.
When the board box is installed vertically on the gaming machine with the rear surface side as the installation surface, at least the bottom surface side has a downward first vertical portion along the component mounting surface of the board, and a connector member mounted on the board is exposed from a connector opening opened in the first vertical portion,
The lower surface portion is provided with a first inclined portion inclined upward toward the front surface portion on all or a part of the lower surface portion,
Further, when the board box is viewed from the bottom surface side, the first vertical portion is provided with a plurality of connector openings such that the plurality of connector members mounted on the board are horizontally spaced apart from one another without being overlapped vertically,
the connector member exposed from the connector opening formed in the first vertical portion is provided on a solid pattern formed on the substrate opposite to the first vertical portion,
Furthermore, when the board box is installed vertically on the gaming machine with the rear surface side as the installation surface, at least the upper surface side has a second vertical portion facing upward along the component mounting surface of the board, and a connector member mounted on the board is exposed from a connector opening opened in the second vertical portion.
(For example, see paragraphs 2667 to 2713, Figures 270 to 277, etc.)
