In the case of changing the surface of the lower door 40, the panel unit is replaced with one corresponding to the new model, and the main body is left stationary on the housing 1.
(Upper door locking means 6 and lower door locking means 7)
The structure of the upper door locking means 6 and the lower door locking means 7 is basically the same. The upper door locking means 6 opens the lower door 40 and then lowers the lower end of the upper door locking means 6 downward. The lower door lock means 7 is different in that it is unlocked by inserting a predetermined key into the key hole 44, although it is unlocked by pulling. In other words, the upper door locking means 6 cannot be unlocked from the outside and can be unlocked only when the lower door 40 is open. Unlocking from the outside is possible. Here, the structure will be described using the lower door locking means 7 as an example.

  Specifically, the lower door locking means 7 is always urged upward by a spring (not shown), and is attached to the inner side of the lower door right side plate 40c in the lower door 40 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction. A movable plate (not shown), and a bowl-shaped lower door locking piece 47 that protrudes from the movable plate to the back side of the lower door 40 and has an oblique side on the upper side or the lower side. Then, the lower door 40 is locked by locking the lower door locking piece 47 with the lower protruding piece 27 provided on the right side plate 16a of the housing 1. That is, when the lower door 40 is closed, the hypotenuse of the lower door locking piece 47 contacts the lower protruding piece 27 and the movable plate is pushed downward, and then automatically returns to the original position by the spring force. The lower door locking piece 47 is locked to the lower protruding piece 27.

Further, the lower door lock means 7 is provided with a cylinder lock (not shown) as an unlocking means on the back side of the key hole 44, and the back of the cylinder lock is rotated by the rotation of the key. A rotating plate (not shown) is provided. Then, by inserting a predetermined key into the keyhole 44 and turning it, the rotating plate rotates to push the movable plate downward, and the engagement between the lower door locking piece 47 and the lower protruding piece 27 is released, and the lower door 40 can be released.
(Occlusion member 60)
Here, the closing member 60 will be described.
As described above, the closing member 60 is a member provided on the lower door right side plate 40c of the lower door 40. When the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 are closed, the lower end of the right side of the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 to close the gap formed between the upper end of the right side portion of the upper door 30, that is, the lower end surface of the upper right plate 30c of the upper door 30 and the lower end surface of the lower right plate 40c of the lower door 40. Is.

Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the closing member 60 includes a rectangular fixing plate 63 fixed to the inner upper portion of the lower door right side plate 40 c, and the lower door right side plate 40 c in the fixing plate 63. A rectangular connecting plate 62 fixed by screwing to a surface facing the fixing surface, and vertically above the fixing plate 63 so as to be sandwiched between the lower door right side plate 40c and the connecting plate 62. And a rectangular blocking plate 61 that is disposed and screwed to the connecting plate 62 so as to be slidable in the vertical direction.
The fixing plate 63 constitutes the base of the closing member 60, and is used for fixing the closing member 60 to the lower door right side plate 40c. Further, the closing plate 61 is for closing a gap generated between the lower end surface of the upper door right side plate 30c and the upper end surface of the lower door right side plate 40c when the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 are closed. is there. The connecting plate 62 is a member that connects the fixed plate 63 and the closing plate 61, supports the closing plate 61, and allows the closing plate 61 to move up and down.

Specifically, the connecting plate 62 is fixed to the fixing plate 63 by screwing with a fixing screw 64.
The connecting plate 62 is formed with two movement guide holes 65 that are elliptical holes whose longitudinal direction is the longitudinal direction. The closing plate 61 is attached to the connecting plate 62 by being screwed with a fixing screw 64 through the movement guide hole 65.
Here, since the fixing screw 64 can move up and down in the movement guide hole 65, the closing plate 61 attached to the connecting plate 62 by the fixing screw 64 passes through the movement guide hole 65. Thus, it can slide in the vertical direction.

  A plurality of upwardly biased springs 66 are attached between the fixed plate 63 and the closing plate 61, that is, between the upper end surface of the fixing plate 63 and the lower end surface of the closing plate 61. 66 always works to push up the closing plate 61 upward. Therefore, in a normal state, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 5A, the closing plate 61 is pushed up by the spring 66 until the fixing screw 64 reaches the upper end of the movement guide hole 65. 61 is held. When a downward force is applied to the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 from this state, the closing plate 61 can be pushed down until the fixing screw 64 contacts the lower end of the movement guide hole 65 (FIG. 5B). reference). Then, when the downward force applied to the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 is released from the state in which the closing plate 61 is pushed down, the fixing screw 64 of the movement guide hole 65 is moved by the upward biasing force of the spring 66. The closing plate 61 is pushed up until it comes into contact with the upper end.

As will be described later, when the lower door 40 is closed after the upper door 30 is closed, the rear end of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 comes into contact with the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 formed on the pressure contact plate 39 described above. .
That is, the closing plate 61 in a normal state (a state in which no downward force is applied to the upper end surface) is at a height at which the rear end of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 can come into contact with the pressure contact plate guiding surface 38. Will be located. In other words, the closing plate 61 in the normal state is located within the range from the height position of the lower end of the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 to the height position of the upper end of the pressure contact plate guide surface 38.
When the lower door 40 is further closed from the state in which the rear end of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 is in contact with the pressure contact plate guide surface 38, the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 causes the upper end surface of the closure plate 61 to face downward. A force is applied, and the closing plate 61 is pushed down. Then, the closing plate 61 is pushed down until the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 reaches the lower end of the pressing plate guide surface 38, and then the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 comes into pressure contact with the lower end surface of the pressing plate 39. In this state, the lower door 40 is closed.

Therefore, when closing the lower door 40, the closing plate 61 moves from the upper end to the lower end of the pressing plate guide surface 38 at the maximum, and therefore the moving distance of the closing plate 61 in the height direction is the pressing plate. It is less than the distance in the height direction from the upper end to the lower end of the guide surface 38.
A protruding piece 70 that protrudes upward is formed on the distal end side of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61. The projecting piece 70 is fitted into a gap generated below the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 in a state where the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 is in pressure contact with the lower end surface of the pressure contact plate 39 (FIG. 4C). reference).
(Opening and closing of upper door 30 and lower door 40)
The opening and closing of the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 having the above-described configuration will be described together with the movement of the closing member 60 provided on the lower door right side plate 40c of the lower door 40.

When the front door (the upper door 30 and the lower door 40) is closed from the state where the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 are open, the upper door 30 is closed as described above. When the upper door 30 is closed, the upper door 30 and the separated body 2 are automatically locked.
Specifically, when the upper door 30 is closed, the upper door locking piece 37 of the upper door locking means 6 provided on the upper door 30 is fixed to the upper protruding piece 26 provided on the right side of the separator 2. Thus, the upper door 30 is locked.
In a state before the lower door 40 is closed, the closing plate 61 of the closing member 60 provided on the lower door right side plate 40c is pushed up by the spring 66, and the fixing screw 64 fixed to the closing plate 61 is provided. The closing plate 61 is held in a state where the upper end of the movement guide hole 65 formed in the connecting plate 62 has been reached.

Then, after the upper door 30 is closed, the lower door 40 can be closed. When the lower door 40 is pushed in the closing direction, the rear end of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 of the closing member 60 comes into contact with the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 formed on the pressure contact plate 39.
When the lower door 40 is further pushed in the closing direction, a downward force is applied to the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 by the pressure contact plate guide surface 38. Then, after the closing plate 61 is pushed down until the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 reaches the lower end of the pressing plate guide surface 38, the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 presses the lower end surface of the pressing plate 39 (see FIG. 4 (b)).
Then, when the lower door 40 is further pushed in the closing direction, the lower door 40 moves in the above direction while the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 is in pressure contact with the lower end surface of the pressure contact plate 39, and finally the lower door 40 Is closed. When the lower door 40 is closed, the projecting piece 70 formed on the front end side of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 fits into a gap generated below the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 (FIG. 4 ( c)).

When the lower door 40 is closed, as in the case of the upper door 30, the lower door locking piece 47 provided on the lower door 40 is provided with the lower door locking piece 47 on the right side plate 16a of the housing 1. The lower door 40 is automatically locked to the lower protruding piece 27, whereby the lower door 40 is locked.
Thus, when the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 are closed, the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 of the closing member 60 provided on the lower door right side plate 40c is the pressure contact plate provided on the upper door right side plate 30c. Since it is in pressure contact with the lower end surface of 39, the closing plate 61 closes the gap generated between the lower end surface of the upper door right side plate 30c and the upper end surface of the lower door right side plate 40c. Accordingly, it is possible to prevent a go-to action such as inserting a foreign object such as a piano wire from the gap and illegally operating the control board or the like.

Then, in order to open the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 from the above-described state, a procedure reverse to the above-described procedure may be performed.
That is, first, a predetermined key is inserted into the key hole 44 of the lower door 40 and rotated in a predetermined unlocking direction (for example, clockwise). Then, as described above, the engagement between the lower door locking piece 47 and the lower protruding piece 27 is released, and the lower door 40 can be opened.
Then, when the right end of the lower door 40 is pulled forward (the lower door 40 is pulled in the opening direction), the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 is pressed against the lower end surface of the press contact plate 39 in the lower side. The door 40 moves in the above direction. Then, the rear end of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 reaches the lower end of the pressure contact plate guide surface 38.

Then, when the right end of the lower door 40 is further pulled forward, the upward pushing force of the spring 66 attached to the lower end of the closing plate 61 applies a force to push up the closing plate 61, thereby closing the closing door 61. The plate 61 is guided by the pressure contact plate guide surface 38 and automatically moves upward.
When the rear end of the upper end surface of the closing plate 61 is separated from the press contact plate guide surface 38, the pressing force applied to the upper end surface of the close plate 61 is released by the press contact plate guide surface 38, and the close plate 61 is The fixing screw 64 reaches the upper end of the movement guide hole 65 formed in the connecting plate 62, that is, returns to the original position.

Then, after opening the lower door 40, when the lower end of the upper door locking means 6 provided on the upper door 30 is pulled downward, the engagement between the upper door locking piece 37 and the upper protruding piece 26 is released, The door 30 can be opened. That is, in this state, when the right end of the upper door 30 is pulled to the near side, the upper door 30 is opened.
(Summary)
As described above, in the slot machine S according to the embodiment of the present invention, the closing member 60 is provided inside the lower door right side plate 40c of the lower door 40, and the upper door 30 and the lower door 40 are closed.
