Has been proposed. 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] Therefore, when attaching a terminal unit to a pachinko gaming machine, it is necessary to first solder each wiring and signal line to the terminal unit before connection can be made. In addition, the mounting operation is not only troublesome, but sometimes the connection operation is excessively performed at the time of the connection operation by soldering. Further, there is a problem that 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] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a pachinko gaming machine having a pachinko gaming machine and a terminal for relaying between the inside and the outside of the pachinko gaming machine. In the terminal unit, the terminal unit includes a printed circuit board provided with a plurality of connection terminals for relaying a power supply and a signal, the printed circuit board is provided between the one connection terminal to be relayed and the other connection terminal. A circuit protection component for protecting a circuit is mounted. [0005] [act] the connection between the terminal unit and the pachinko game machine electrical equipment or device provided in, by performing with the connection terminals such as mosquitoes puller, after attaching the terminal unit to the pachinko gaming machine, the internal and External power supply lines and signals
Since the wires may 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. An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS.

Reference numeral 3 denotes a mounting hole for mounting the terminal unit 15 to the mechanism plate 12. The couplers Tc, Td, and Te having relatively small current capacities in the coupler T, that is, those having small contact portions and not exerting a large force upon detachment, are mounted on the printed circuit board 2. The couplers Ta, Tb, and Tf of the coupler T having a relatively large current capacity, that is, those having a large contact portion to which a relatively large force is applied at the time of attachment / detachment are manufactured to be stronger and stronger than the printed circuit board 2. Attached to the unit main body 1. In addition to the couplers Ta, Tb, and Tf, a printed circuit board 2 and a lamp L are detachably attached to the unit body 1. The printed circuit board 2 includes couplers Tc, Td, and Tf.
In addition to e, wiring between the fuse F and the coupler T as circuit protection components, wiring between the couplers T, and the like are printed and wired. The connection pins of the couplers Tc, Td, Te attached to the printed circuit board 2, the fuses F, and the like are protected by the side surfaces of the unit main body 1 in order to ensure safety in a state where power is supplied. FIG. 4 is a circuit diagram of a terminal unit of a pachinko game machine according to one embodiment of the present invention. In FIG.

A launch motor (not shown) for firing game balls, a discharge motor (not shown) for discharging a prize ball, and a coupler for supplying power to a touch switch (not shown). Tc3 relays connection to a detection switch (not shown) for detecting payout of a prize ball. Tc4 is a coupler that relays connection to a main switch (not shown) that drives the firing motor, and Td1 and Tc4 are relays.

e2 and Tf are couplers for relaying ball cutting information to be sent to an external device, for example, a computer for managing a pachinko gaming machine when the upper ball receiving tank 13 is empty, and Te3, Tf.
e4 is a coupler for relaying a connection to a detection switch (not shown) for detecting that the upper ball receiving tank 13 is empty, so as to turn on the lamp L2 when the upper ball receiving tank 13 is empty. . 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] [Effect of the Invention] Thus, as is apparent from the description, in the present invention, the connection to the electrical equipment or device provided in the terminal unit and the pachinko game machine, using a connection terminal such as a mosquito puller By attaching the terminal unit to the pachinko gaming machine, it is only necessary to connect the power supply lines and signal lines from inside and outside to the terminal unit. And erroneous wiring can be eliminated. Also,
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.
