Description

  The present invention relates to a substrate sealing structure in a gaming machine.

  A gaming machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine has a ROM-equipped substrate having a ROM (Read Only Memory) in which various control programs relating to the game are recorded. In addition to this, the gaming machine uses various substrates. These boards are housed and protected in a board storage case provided in the gaming machine body.

  In addition, gaming machines are generally provided with various board sealing structures to prevent illegal acts on the board accommodated in the board storage case.

  As a conventional substrate sealing structure, for example, when a plurality of substrates are arranged on the same surface or stacked vertically, a structure in which a seal seal is attached so as to connect these substrates has been proposed.

  In this substrate sealing structure, when the seal seal is cut, it can be determined that the substrate has been removed, that is, fraud has been performed.

  Further, as a sealing structure for sealing another substrate standing on the substrate, a base member having a locking portion and a sealed space except for the locking portion on the back surface of the lower substrate is provided. Attached, one end of the string is fixed to the base member, a collar is provided at the other end of the string, a hole provided in the lower substrate, a hole provided in the upper substrate, and There has been proposed a sealing structure for a substrate that is sequentially passed through another hole provided in the lower substrate, and that this flange is inserted into a locking hole provided in the base member and locked.

  In this sealing structure, it is necessary to remove the string from the upper substrate in order to remove the upper substrate. Further, in order to remove the string from the upper substrate, it is necessary to remove the collar portion provided at the tip of the string from the engaging portion of the base member disposed on the back surface of the lower substrate.

  However, even if the string is pulled from above the lower substrate with a force equal to or less than a predetermined force, the collar portion cannot be extracted from the locking portion. Therefore, when the string is pulled with a force greater than or equal to a predetermined force, the string is cut and the buttock is separated.

  The separated collar is left in the sealed space of the base member attached to the back surface of the lower substrate.

Therefore, it can be determined whether or not fraud has been performed by taking out the upper substrate by checking whether or not there is a flange in the sealed space of the base member.

  When the starting end 122 of the bridging part 121 is pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction in order to remove the sealing member 120, the weakly broken part 133 is broken and the separating part 132 remains in the substantially sealed space 129. It is. Accordingly, by confirming whether or not the separation part 132 separated from the bridging part 121 remains in the substantially sealed space 129, it is possible to easily determine whether or not an illegal act has been performed on the second substrate 111 from the outside. Can be judged.

  Further, since the covering portion 130 is transparent, it can be easily determined whether or not the separating portion 132 is in the substantially sealed space 129.

  As described above, according to the present invention, when the start end portion 122 of the bridging portion 121 of the sealing member 120 is pulled in the direction opposite to the insertion direction in order to remove the second substrate 111, the fracture portion having low strength. Since 133 is broken and the separation part 132 is left in the substantially sealed space 129 of the covering part 130, it can be easily determined from the outside that the second substrate 111 has been cheated.

  Moreover, since it is not necessary to attach a base member etc. to the back surface etc. in the 1st board | substrate 110 other than the 2nd board | substrate 111 which should be sealed, an assembly man-hour can be reduced.

  As shown in FIGS. 8A and 8B, the plate piece 126 that is in contact with or close to the one surface 111a of the second substrate 111 is used as a surface of the second substrate 111 as a dripping prevention process. The concave portion 140 formed in the portion 111 a and the convex portion 141 formed on the edge portion of the plate piece portion 126 can be engaged with each other to be locked.

  Similarly, as shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B, the covering portion 130 that is in contact with or close to the other surface 111b of the second substrate 111 is formed on the second substrate 111 as a dripping prevention process. The concave portion 150 and the convex portion 151 formed on the collar portion extending outward from the opening edge portion of the covering portion 130 can be engaged with each other.

  As described above, the second substrate 111 and the plate piece 126 and the second substrate 111 and the covering portion 130 are locked by the concave and convex fitting, so that the plate piece 126 and the covering portion 130 are fixed to the second substrate 111. Even if a parallel force is applied or a thin rod or the like is inserted into the substantially sealed space 129, the concave / convex fitting portion is not released, so that the plate piece portion 126 and the covering portion 130 are bent. Can be prevented.

  Moreover, in the said embodiment, although the 4th hole 131 was provided in the board | substrate storage case 113 side, the 4th hole 131 can be formed in the 1st board | substrate 110 as shown in FIG.

  Further, in the above embodiment (see FIG. 4), before the sealing state is established, the fixing pieces that are divided into two for fixing the base member 114 and the connector 112 so as not to be detached from the second substrate 111 are the end portions of both sides 114a and 114a. However, a well-known fixing method such as fixing by connecting another part (for example, a screw) or an adhesive may be applied.

  Further, the state before the start end portion 122 is inserted into the fourth hole 131 and the second hole 125 to be in a sealed state, that is, the first locking piece 134 and the second locking piece 135, the second substrate. By utilizing the state in which 111 and the plate piece 126 are sandwiched as a temporarily locked state, the base member 114 can be prevented from being detached from the second substrate 111 before being in the sealed state, and the first substrate 100 can be prevented. After the second substrate 111 is connected, it is possible to reduce the trouble of taking out the sealing member 120 from a predetermined storage location and performing a sealing process.

  At that time, by setting the temporarily locked state, the elastically deformable substantially C-shaped locking portion 114d (see FIG. 4) that sandwiches and locks the bridging portion 121 in the vicinity of the starting end portion 122 serving as a free end. ) Is preferably provided on the base member 114 because it does not get in the way when the second substrate 111 is connected to the first substrate 100.
