[0010]
In the present embodiment, the luminous body 7 is composed of three arc-shaped cold cathode tubes having different lengths. The light emitter 7 emits light at a high voltage of about 300 V to 1 KV compared to a voltage of 24 V of a pachinko game machine, and is not limited to a cold cathode tube, for example, a fluorescent lamp, a neon tube, or an EL (Electroluminescence) may be used. However, since normally used LEDs and lamps have a low lighting voltage (5 V to 12 V), they are not included in the light emitter of the present invention. The light-emitting body 7 is used as an electric decoration, and a lighting state changes with game states (for example, at the time of big hit). Further, if the cold cathode fluorescent lamp is multicolored (for example, red, green, and blue) and the light emission level (for example, luminance) of each color is individually changed, multicolor light emission having gradation can be obtained. For example, if the color of the light emission is changed in conjunction with the gaming state, it becomes an effective electric decoration.
[0011]
The inverter board 10 is a board on which an inverter is mounted. The inverter board 10 is distributed to the inverter board 10 of the light emitting unit 6 at a normal voltage (for example, 12 V), and is transformed to the lighting voltage of the light emitter 7 by the inverter. The inverter has a frequency of 160 Hz to prevent flickering when the light emitter 7 is turned on.
[0012]

Insertion holes 19 and 19 are formed.
[0013]
The inverter board cover 12 is a substantially triangular inner frame with a hollow body, and a large number of small holes 20 for heat dissipation are formed in front of the inverter board cover 12. Further, there is an engagement between the middle of the side wall 21 and the middle of the side wall 22 of the inverter board cover 12 arranged along the side wall 13 and the side wall 14 of the main body part 11 for locking the inverter board cover 12 to the main body part 11. The pawls 23 and 23 are provided respectively.
[0014]
The light emitting unit 6 is assembled as follows. A light emitter (three arc-shaped cold cathode tubes) 7 is accommodated in a light emitter accommodating portion 16 formed on the front side of the main body 11. The light emitter 7 is electrically connected to the inverter board 10. Further, the inverter board 10 is housed in an inverter board housing part 17 formed on the back surface side of the main body 11, and the inverter board cover 12 is fitted into the inverter board housing part 17 so as to cover the inverter board 10 from the rear. It is. Locking claws 23, 23 formed on the side walls 21, 22 formed on the inverter board cover 12 enter into locking holes (not shown) formed on the side wall 13 and the side wall 14 of the main body 11, respectively. 12 is locked to the main body 11. In the light emitting unit 6, mounting screws (not shown) are inserted into mounting screw insertion holes 19, 19 provided on the protrusions 18, 18 at both ends of the main body 11, and the mounting screws are used as the door 2. It is attached by screwing to the back of the.
[0015]
As described above, the light emitter 7, the inverter board 10, and the inverter board cover 12 are attached to the main body 11 and unitized as the light emitter unit 6, so that a high-voltage harness can be prevented from being routed. Further, the control unit of the gaming machine is arranged on the back side of the game board, but by providing the unitized light emitting units 6 at the four corners of the opening / closing door 2, a high voltage is also applied to each light emitting unit 6. The harness can be prevented from being routed, and the light emitting unit 6 is disposed away from the control unit of the gaming machine with the game board separated from the control unit. The influence of the high frequency noise on the control unit can be further prevented. This is particularly effective for preventing electric shock and preventing malfunction of the control unit due to generation of high frequency noise.
[0016]
In addition, when attaching the light emitting unit 6 to a game board, for example, when using the light emitting unit 6 for a side lamp etc., a lens member is arrange | positioned in the front surface of a cold cathode tube.
[0017]
【The invention's effect】
According to the configuration of the first aspect, the light emitting unit is unitized by a light emitting body that emits light at a high voltage, an inverter board, a main body part to which the light emitting body and the inverter board are attached, and a board cover that covers the inverter board. As a result, there is no need to route the high-voltage power supply harness. As a result, electric shock due to electric leakage, etc., and high-frequency noise generated from the high-voltage power supply harness prevent the control system from malfunctioning. Power efficiency.
[0018]
Since light emission portion is provided in the openable door against the gaming machine main body, it will be to arrange the light emitting portion away at a game board from the control unit of the game machine that is disposed on the game board rear surface The influence of the high frequency noise generated in the inverter board of the light emitting unit with respect to the control unit of the gaming machine can be further reduced, and malfunction of the control unit can be prevented.
[0019]
For a plurality of corner portions door is provided, since the light emitting portion from the rear surface of the door is kicked with up respectively, and emitters for each light-emitting section, and the inverter board, and the main body portion, by the board cover from being unitized, requires not drawn around harness high voltage to the light-emitting portions, cutting the electric shock by electric leakage at prevention.
