DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a terminal unit of a pachinko game machine provided with a terminal having a relay function.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, there has been proposed a terminal unit in which a fuse for protecting a circuit, an indicator light, and a coupler for power supply are integrally mounted on a single base. In such a terminal unit, a coupler is simply supported on a base, and wiring to the coupler, the fuse, and the indicator is performed by soldering using a connection line. In addition, power supply wiring to various electric devices and devices in the pachinko gaming machine, or signal wiring, and the like are also connected by soldering.

[0003]

For this reason, when attaching the terminal unit to the pachinko game machine, it is necessary to first solder each wiring and signal line to the terminal unit before connection can be made. Not only is the work troublesome, but there is also a problem that the connection may be made excessively during the connection work by soldering, and furthermore, the terminal unit cannot be made compact and mass-produced. The present invention
In view of the above problems, it is an object of the present invention to facilitate connection of power supply lines and signal lines of electric devices and devices, and to achieve compactness and mass production. An object of the present invention is to provide a terminal unit of a pachinko gaming machine that can be used.

[0004]

According to the present invention, there is provided a terminal unit for a pachinko game machine provided with a terminal having a relay function, wherein the terminal unit relays power and signals. A printed circuit board provided with a plurality of connection terminals, and a circuit protection component for protecting a circuit is mounted on the printed circuit board in the middle of a printed wiring connecting one connection terminal and the other connection terminal to be relayed. It is characterized by having.

[0005]

[Function] By connecting the terminal unit to the pachinko game machine by using all the connection terminals such as couplers to connect the electric equipment and devices provided in the pachinko game machine, the terminal unit is attached to the pachinko game machine, and then the power supply lines and the like are connected. Since signal lines and the like need only be connected to the terminal unit, the terminal unit can be easily attached and connected, and erroneous wiring can be eliminated. Further, since a circuit protection component (for example, a fuse) for protecting the connection terminal and the circuit is mounted on the printed circuit board, the terminal unit can be made compact and mass-produced.

According to the above configuration, the connection to the terminal unit 15 is all performed by the coupler, so that the connection between the terminal unit and other electric devices or devices is connected by soldering as in a conventional pachinko game machine. After attaching the terminal unit 15 to the pachinko game machine, the power supply lines, signal lines, etc.
, The work of attaching and connecting the terminal unit 15 can be easily performed, and erroneous wiring can be eliminated. Moreover, since the fuse T for protecting a part of the coupler T and the circuit is mounted on the printed circuit board 2, the terminal unit 15 can be made compact and mass-produced. Further, in the above-described embodiment, since the fuse F as a circuit protection component is mounted in the middle of the power supply printed wiring for supplying the power, when an overcurrent or the like flows, the electric device or the device may fail. Can be prevented beforehand. It is needless to say that the same effect as described above can be obtained even when the circuit protection component is mounted in the middle of the signal print wiring.

In the above embodiment, the connection to the terminal unit 15 is all performed by the coupler T, so that only the power supply to the terminal unit is performed by the coupler as in a conventional pachinko game machine. As compared with the case where the connection between the unit and another electric device or device is made by soldering, the replacement work of the terminal unit 15, the electric device, the device, etc. in case of failure can be performed easily, reliably and quickly. In addition, the terminal unit 15 can be used not only for distributing power but also as a relay terminal board for transmitting control signals to various electric devices and devices arranged outside the terminal unit 15.

Further, in the above embodiment, a coupler having a small current capacity, that is, a coupler having a small contact surface,
Although placed directly on the printed circuit board 2, a coupler having a large capacity, such as a coupler for supplying external power or a coupler for supplying power to a control device, that is, a coupler having a large current capacity is stronger than the printed circuit board 2. Since it is arranged in the unit body 1 which is manufactured to be robust, it does not break even if it is handled somewhat violently, making the connection work easier and also a pachinko game machine having a robust terminal unit 15. It is needless to say that all the couplers T may be directly mounted on the printed circuit board 2 if the strength is guaranteed. Further, according to the above embodiment, since the fuse F mounted on the printed circuit board 2 and the connection pins of the coupler T in the bare state are protected by the unit body 1, safety and reliability are improved. I do. Similarly, the wiring of the terminal unit 15 is
Printed wiring, the wiring of the terminal unit 15 is highly reliable and uniform, and more compact.
Mass production can be achieved.

In the above-described embodiment, the mounting position of the coupler is divided into the unit main body 1 and the printed circuit board 2 depending on the magnitude of the electric capacity. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Of these, those with a high frequency of attachment / detachment may be provided on the unit body 1 and those with a low frequency may be provided on the printed circuit board 2.

[0014]

As is apparent from the above description, in the present invention, the connection between the terminal unit and the electric equipment or device provided in the pachinko gaming machine is all performed by using connection terminals such as couplers. By attaching the terminal unit to the pachinko machine, it is only necessary to connect each power supply line, signal line, etc. to the terminal unit, so that the terminal unit can be easily attached and connected, and incorrect wiring can be performed. Can be eliminated. Further, since a circuit protection component (for example, a fuse) for protecting the connection terminal and the circuit is mounted on the printed circuit board, the terminal unit can be made compact and mass-produced.
