BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a pachinko machine, and more particularly to a method of transporting an optional part of a pachinko machine that transports an optional part such as a voice control board attached to the main body of the pachinko machine, and a mounting structure of the optional part of a pachinko machine.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Normally, the voice control board is detachably attached to the back side of the prize ball payout device provided on the pachinko machine body with a fixture, and the power supply wiring and control wiring necessary for the voice control board are on the back of the game board. It is connected to the main board provided. And since these wiring operations are performed in the production line flow operation, wiring connection errors are unlikely to occur.
[0003]
By the way, since the RAM and ROM of the voice control board contain voice data to be used for each model, when only the game board is delivered separately from the main body of the pachinko machine, the voice control board is delivered at the same time.
[0004]
However, since the voice control board is attached to the back side of the prize ball payout device provided in the pachinko machine body as described above, it has been delivered separately from the game board. For this reason, delivery mistakes and mistakes in delivery management on the receiving side (pachinko hall side) have occurred. The same applies to a service pack in which consumables such as lamps and decorations are packed, as well as the voice control board.
[0005]
In addition, after the delivered game board is attached to the main body of the pachinko machine, the power supply wiring and control wiring must be connected to the main board, but wiring connection errors are more likely to occur than when connecting on the production line. .
[0006]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In view of the above facts, an object of the present invention is to eliminate delivery mistakes of optional parts such as a voice control board and to prevent wiring connection mistakes.

Furthermore, since the optional part is temporarily fixed with a clip, it is easy to remove.
In addition, a mounting plate for mounting optional components is provided on the pachinko machine side, and mounting holes of the same shape are formed on the mounting plate in the same arrangement as the top surface of the cover covering the main board.
On the pachinko hall side, remove optional parts from the delivered game board and attach them to the mounting plate provided on the pachinko machine side. Since this mounting plate has the same mounting holes as the cover that covers the main board, the coupling holes of the optional parts and the coupling holes are connected with the locking parts of the optional parts locked to the locking mounting holes. The optional parts can be easily attached with just the clip in the aligned state with the mounting holes.
In the above configuration, optional parts attached to the pachinko machine main body are temporarily fixed to the top surface of the cover that covers the main board of the game board, and are transported as a unit, so that there is no delivery mistake. Moreover, it is not necessary to add a member or a space for temporarily fixing optional parts to the game board. The cover is a shield for preventing fraud and preventing the main board from being damaged by spilled balls.
[0009]
According to a second aspect of the present invention, the optional component is a voice control board, and the voice control board and the main board of the game board are connected by wiring.
[0010]
In the above configuration, since the voice control board as an optional component and the main board of the game board are connected and temporarily fixed by wiring, there is no need to connect on the receiving side. As a result, there are no wiring connection errors.
[0015]
The invention according to claim 3 is characterized in that a step with which the edge of the optional component abuts is formed along the longitudinal direction of the cover.
[0016]
In the above configuration, the edge of the optional component attached to the pachinko machine main body is temporarily fixed by being brought into contact with the step formed along the longitudinal direction of the cover , so that the optional component does not wobble and does not rotate.
[0017]
