Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine configured such that a first board holding member and a second board holding member holding a required board are detachably disposed adjacent to an installation portion provided on the back side of the machine. It is.

  For example, a pachinko machine, which is an example of a typical gaming machine, has a main control board that controls the entire pachinko machine, a payout control board that controls the payout of pachinko balls, and a voice control board that controls other sounds. In addition to a large number of control boards, various control boards for relaying and connecting between the control boards, the control board and the electrical components to be controlled, or the pachinko machine and the external equipment are provided. Then, these various substrates are accommodated and held in a required substrate case (substrate holding member), and are attached to a predetermined installation portion provided corresponding to each substrate case. Here, since there are limits to various members that can be installed in the pachinko machine, it is desirable to arrange each of the substrate cases as compactly as possible. In view of this, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses a configuration in which space efficiency is improved by placing two board cases as close as possible when two board cases are disposed adjacent to the installation portion.

In the two substrate cases (hereinafter referred to as a first substrate case and a second substrate case) arranged adjacent to each other in Patent Document 1, a stepped engagement piece projects from the upper edge of the substrate case, and the engagement projection projects from the lower edge. The part is protruding. On the other hand, an attachment groove (installation portion) for attaching the first and second substrate cases is formed with an insertion groove into which the stepped engagement piece can be inserted and an engagement hole into which the engagement protrusion can be inserted. Then, the stepped engagement pieces and the engaging projections are respectively inserted into the corresponding insertion grooves and engagement holes, and the substrate case is slid in a predetermined direction along the mounting member, thereby forming the stepped engagement. The board case is fixed by engaging the mating piece with the insertion groove. That is, in Patent Document 1, the stepped engagement pieces and the engagement protrusions of the first substrate case are inserted into the corresponding insertion grooves and engagement holes, and the first substrate case is slid in a predetermined direction. While fixing to the mounting member, the stepped engagement pieces and the engagement protrusions of the second substrate case are then inserted into the corresponding insertion grooves and engagement holes, and the second substrate case is slid in the same direction. By fixing to the mounting member, both the substrate cases can be arranged as close as possible.
JP 2000-176126 A

As described above, in the configuration according to Patent Document 1, the first substrate case and the second substrate case are sequentially slid and attached to the attachment member. That is, when removing each board case, it is necessary to slide each board case in a direction opposite to the mounting direction. Here, since the second substrate case is adjacently attached in the removal direction of the first substrate case, it is necessary to remove the second substrate case once when removing the first substrate case. Thus, since the 1st board case attached to the attachment member cannot be removed independently, there is a problem that workability of exchange work and maintenance work of the 1st board case is inferior.
Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine in which a plurality of board holding members can be arranged adjacent to each other in a space efficient manner, and each board holding member can be attached and detached independently.

In order to overcome the above-mentioned problems and achieve the desired purpose suitably, the gaming machine according to the present invention is:
The first substrate holding member (30) and the second substrate holding member (40) is set portion for holding a variety of substrates (29,39) (26,52a, 54a, 55a) to detachably distribution in adjacency In the installed gaming machine,
Formed on the side portion (31c) of the first substrate holding member (30) and opposed to the second substrate holding member (40) when disposed on the installation portion (26, 52a, 54a, 55a) A first engaging portion (33) to perform,
The first substrate holding member (30) is brought close to the installation position of the second substrate holding member (40) in the installation portion (26, 52a, 54a, 55a). Thus, the first engagement portion (33) is engaged, and the first substrate holding member (30) is separated from the arrangement position of the second substrate holding member (40), thereby the first engagement portion. A second engagement portion (27) disengaging from (33);
A receiving portion (43) provided in the second substrate holding member (40) ,
The receiving portion (43), the definitive installation portion to the second substrate holding member (40) (26,52a, 54a, 55a) on the surface facing the side portion of the first substrate holding member (30) When the second substrate holding member (40) is disposed on the installation portion (26, 52a, 54a, 55a), the first engagement portion (33) is recessed so as to open toward the (31c) side . ) and the second engagement portion (27), characterized in that is extraordinary useless configuration inside the housing portion (43).

Further, the second substrate holding member (40) is formed in a size which is substantially aligned with the substrate (39) for holding Rutotomoni, the installation portion of the substrate (29,39) (26,52a, 54a, The housing part (43) may be provided so as to be positioned on the side of 55a) , and the held substrate (39) and the housing part (43) may be positioned so as to overlap each other.

  Furthermore, a third engagement portion (44) is formed in the housing portion (43) of the second substrate holding member (40) at a position facing the first substrate holding member (30), The installation portion (26, 55a) is detachably engaged with the third engagement portion (44), and is accommodated in the accommodation portion (43) when engaged with the third engagement portion (44). The fourth engaging portion (28) to be projected may be provided.

Furthermore, the installation parts (26, 52a, 54a, 55a) are different from the opposing side parts (31c, 41d) of the first substrate holding member (30) and the second substrate holding member (40). Hook members (26a, 26b) that engage with the opposite side portions (31d, 41c) are formed to be elastically deformable , and the first substrate holding member (30) is formed via the hook members (26a, 26b ). Each of the second substrate holding members (40) can be detachably attached to the installation portions (26, 52a, 54a, 55a).

  According to the gaming machine of the first aspect of the present invention, the first substrate holding member is provided with the first engagement portion and the installation portion protruding from the surface of the second substrate holding member facing the installation portion. By forming the accommodating portion that faces each of the second engaging portions on the inside, the second substrate holding member can be attached in a state of overlapping the second engaging portion. Therefore, the distance between the first substrate holding member and the second substrate holding member arranged in the adjacent state can be made as small as possible so that both substrate holding members can be brought close to each other, thereby improving the space efficiency. It can be planned. Further, the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are engaged with each other by bringing the first substrate holding member close to the arrangement position of the second substrate holding member in the installation portion. Since the first substrate holding member is separated from the position where the substrate holding member is disposed so that the engagement of both engaging portions is released, the second substrate holding member is attached to the installation portion. However, the first substrate holding member can be attached and detached independently. Similarly, since the first and second engaging portions are accommodated in the recesses of the second substrate holding member, the first substrate holding member is attached to the installation portion. In addition, it is possible to attach and detach the second substrate holding member alone. That is, since the first and second substrate holding members can be individually attached to and detached from the installation portion, the substrate holding member can be easily replaced and maintained.

  According to the gaming machine of the second aspect, the second substrate holding member is formed to a size that substantially matches the substrate to be held, and the housing is accommodated on the installation portion side of the second substrate holding member. By configuring so that the portion is positioned, the second substrate holding member can be made to the minimum necessary size, and space efficiency can be improved. According to the gaming machine of the third aspect, the fourth engagement portion for attaching the second substrate holding member to the installation portion faces the accommodating portion formed on the second substrate holding member. Thus, the area occupied by the second substrate holding member can be made smaller, and space efficiency can be improved.

When attached to 40, the delivery relay board 39 is guided between the upper support parts 45, 45 and the board pressing parts 47, 47.

  As shown in FIG. 5, the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25 has the first protrusions 27, 27 protruding upward and downward at a substantially central position in the left-right direction, and the first protrusion The second projecting portion 28 is provided between 27 and 27. The first protrusions 27 and 27 are provided with first insertion ports 27a and 27a into which the protrusions 33 and 33 of the first substrate case 30 can be inserted and removed in the right direction (positioning position of the first substrate case 30). In the direction in which the left side portion of the first substrate case 30 is separated from the installation surface 26 by inserting the protrusions 33 and 33 into the corresponding first insertion ports 27a and 27a. The movement is restricted. That is, by bringing the first substrate case 30 close to the position where the second substrate case 40 is disposed on the installation surface 26, the protrusions 33 and 33 are inserted into the corresponding first insertion ports 27a, respectively, and the first protrusions. The portions 27, 27 and the projections 33, 33 are engaged with each other, and the first substrate case 30 is separated from the arrangement position of the second substrate case 40, whereby the first protrusions 27, 27 and the projections 33, 33 are separated.

The projection 33 can be inserted into and removed from the first insertion port 27a in a state where the substrate case 30 is inclined with respect to the installation surface 26 (see FIG. 8).

  A first hook member 26 a that is elastically deformable is formed on the right side of the installation surface 26, and the first hook is formed when the plate portion 32 of the first substrate case 30 is brought into contact with the installation surface 26. The member 26 a is configured to engage with the right wall portion 31 d of the first substrate case 30. That is, when the first hook member 26 a is engaged with the right wall portion 31 d of the first substrate case 30, the right portion of the first substrate case 30 moves in a direction away from the installation surface 26. It is regulated. Here, a lateral separation dimension from the first projecting portions 27, 27 to the first hook member 26a is set to substantially match a lateral width dimension of the first substrate case 30, and the protrusion By engaging the portions 33, 33 with the first projecting portions 27, 27 and engaging the first hook member 26a with the right wall portion 31d of the first substrate case 30, the installation surface 26 (attachment member 25) The first substrate case 30 is held at a predetermined position.

  In addition, a second insertion port 28a through which the protruding piece 44 of the second substrate case 40 can be inserted and removed opens in the second protruding portion 28 in the left direction (the direction in which the second substrate case 40 is disposed). The protrusion 44 is inserted into the second insertion port 28a to restrict the right side portion of the second substrate case 40 from moving away from the installation surface 26. Then, the projecting piece 44 is inserted into the second insertion port 28a by bringing the second substrate case 40 close to the position of the first substrate case 30 on the installation surface 26, and the projecting piece projects into the second projecting portion 28. 44 is engaged, and the second substrate case 40 is separated from the position where the first substrate case 30 is disposed, whereby the engagement between the second projecting portion 28 and the projecting piece 44 is released. . As shown in FIG. 7, the second insertion port 28 a penetrates the back side (mechanism set panel 20 side) of the mounting member 25 (installation surface 26), and the second substrate case 40. The protrusion 44 can be inserted into and removed from the second insertion port 28a in a state in which is inclined with respect to the installation surface 26 (see FIG. 9).

Here, as shown in FIG. 8C or FIG. 9C, the width dimensions L ₁ and L _{3 in} the left-right direction of the first protrusions 27 and 27 and the second protrusion 28 (see FIG. 6 or FIG. 7). Is set to be substantially the same as the width dimension T ₁ (see FIGS. 4B and 4C) in the left-right direction of the accommodating portion 43 formed in the second substrate case 40, and the first protrusion The protrusion dimensions L ₂ and L ₄ of the portions 27 and 27 and the second protrusion 28 from the installation surface 26 are substantially the same as the width dimension T _{2 in} the front-rear direction (thickness direction of the second substrate case 40) of the accommodating portion 43. Set the same. That is, when the protruding piece 44 is inserted into the second insertion port 28a, each of the first and second protruding portions 27, 27, 28 is substantially completely accommodated in the accommodating portion 43, and the first and second 2 The protrusions 27, 27, 28 and the right end portion of the dispensing relay board 39 are positioned so as to overlap each other (see FIG. 2).

  A second hook member 26b that is elastically deformable is formed on the left side of the installation surface 26. When the plate portion 42 of the second substrate case 40 is brought into contact with the installation surface 26, the second hook member 26b is formed. The second hook member 26 b is configured to engage with the left wall portion 41 c of the second substrate case 40. That is, when the second hook member 26b is engaged with the left wall portion 41c of the second substrate case 40, the left side portion of the second substrate case 40 moves in a direction away from the installation surface 26. It is regulated. Here, the lateral dimension from the second projecting portion 28 to the second hook member 26 b is set so as to substantially match the lateral dimension of the second substrate case 40, and the projecting piece 44. Is engaged with the second projecting portion 28, and the second hook member 26b is engaged with the left wall portion 41c of the second substrate case 40, so that the second substrate is placed at a predetermined position on the installation surface 26 (attachment member 25). Case 40 is held. As shown in FIG. 2 or FIG. 5, the installation surface 26 has a regulating member 26c that contacts the upper and lower walls 31a, 31b, 41a, 41b of the first substrate case 30 and the second substrate case 40. 26c, 26c, and 26c are formed, respectively, and the movement of the first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 in the vertical direction is restricted by the restriction members 26c, 26c, 26c, and 26c.

(Effects of Example)
Next, the operation of the gaming machine according to the embodiment will be described. When the first substrate case 30 is attached to the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25, as shown in FIG. 8 (a), a left wall is formed on the right side of the first protrusions 27, 27 protruding from the installation surface 26. The first substrate case 30 that is inclined so that the portion 31 c (projection portions 33, 33) is close to the installation surface 26 is positioned. Then, the first substrate case 30 is brought close to the arrangement position side (left side of the installation surface 26) of the second substrate case 40, and the protrusions 33 and 33 are respectively connected to the first protrusions 27 and 27. In addition to being inserted into the first insertion openings 27a and 27a, the right side portion of the first substrate case 30 is moved closer to the installation surface 26, and the right wall portion 31d of the first substrate case 30 is moved to the first hook member 26a of the installation surface 26. Abut (see FIG. 8B). In this state, the first hook member 26a is elastically deformed by further moving the right side portion of the first substrate case 30 to the installation surface 26 side (see FIG. 8C), and the first substrate is formed on the installation surface 26. When the right side portion of the case 30 comes into contact, the first hook member 26a is elastically restored and engaged with the right wall portion 31d (see FIG. 8D). Accordingly, the protrusions 33 and 33 and the first protrusions 27 and 27 are engaged, and the first substrate case 30 is attached to the installation surface 26 (attachment member 25). At this time, since the vertical movement of the first substrate case 30 is restricted by the restriction members 26c, 26c formed on the installation surface 26, the first substrate case 30 falls off the installation surface 26 (attachment member 25). There is nothing.

  Similarly, when the second substrate case 40 is attached to the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25, as shown in FIG. 9 (a), the right side of the second protrusion 28 protruding from the installation surface 26 is The second substrate case 40 inclined so that the wall 41d (projection piece 44) is close to the installation surface 26 is positioned. Then, the second substrate case 40 is brought close to the arrangement position side of the first substrate case 40 (the right side of the installation surface 26), and the protruding piece 44 is inserted into the second insertion port 28a of the second protruding portion 28. At the same time, the left side portion of the second substrate case 40 is moved closer to the installation surface 26, and the left wall portion 41c of the second substrate case 40 is brought into contact with the second hook member 26b of the installation surface 26 (FIG. 9B). )reference). In this state, the second hook member 26b is elastically deformed by further moving the left side portion of the second substrate case 40 toward the installation surface 26 (see FIG. 9C), and the second substrate is formed on the installation surface 26. When the left side portion of the case 40 comes into contact, the second hook member 26b is elastically restored and engages with the left wall portion 41c (see FIG. 9 (d)). Thereby, the protruding piece 44 and the second protruding portion 28 are engaged, and the second substrate case 40 is attached to the installation surface 26 (attachment member 25). At this time, since the vertical movement of the second substrate case 40 is restricted by the restriction members 26c, 26c formed on the installation surface 26, the second substrate case 40 falls off the installation surface 26 (attachment member 25). There is nothing.

  Here, the accommodating part 43 which makes each of said 1st protrusion parts 27 and 27 and the 2nd protrusion part 28 face inward on the opposing surface side (plate part 42 side) with respect to the installation surface 26 in the said 2nd board | substrate case 40 is. In the state where the second substrate case 40 is attached to the installation surface 26, each of the first and second projecting portions 27 and 28 is accommodated in the accommodating portion 43 (FIG. 2). Or see FIG. 9 (c)). That is, since the first substrate case 30 and the second substrate case 40 disposed adjacent to the installation surface 26 can be brought close to each other so that the distance between the two substrate cases 30 and 40 is minimized. Space efficiency can be improved.

  Further, when the first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 are removed from the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25, the procedure is opposite to the attachment procedure described above. That is, when the first substrate case 30 is removed, the first hook member 26a is elastically deformed to release the engagement with the right wall portion 31d of the first substrate case 30, and the right side of the first substrate case 30 is removed. The wall 31d side is moved away from the installation surface 26 (see FIG. 8C). Then, by moving the first substrate case 30 in the right direction (direction away from the position where the second substrate case 40 is disposed), the first protrusions 27 and 27 protrude from the first insertion ports 27a and 27a. When the portions 33 and 33 are extracted (see FIG. 8B), the first substrate case 30 can be removed from the installation surface 26 of the mounting member 25 (see FIG. 8A). Similarly, when removing the second substrate case 40, the second hook member 26b is elastically deformed to release the engagement with the left wall portion 41c of the second substrate case 40. The left wall 41c side is moved away from the installation surface 26 (see FIG. 9C). Then, the protruding piece 44 is removed from the second insertion port 28a of the second protruding portion 28 by moving the second substrate case 40 leftward (in a direction away from the position where the first substrate case 30 is disposed). The second substrate case 40 can be removed from the installation surface 26 of the mounting member 25 (see FIG. 9A).

  As described above, the first substrate case 30 is inclined with respect to the installation surface 26 and is brought close to the arrangement position of the second substrate case 40, so that the protrusions 33, 33 and the first protrusions 27, 27, and the first substrate case 30 is separated from the position where the second substrate case 40 is disposed in a state in which the first substrate case 30 is inclined with respect to the installation surface 26. Since the engagement with the protrusions 27 and 27 can be released, the first substrate case 30 can be attached and detached independently even when the second substrate case 40 is attached to the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25. Similarly, the projecting piece 44 and the second projecting portion 28 are engaged with each other by bringing the second substrate case 40 close to the arrangement position of the first substrate case 30 while being inclined with respect to the installation surface 26. In addition, the second substrate case 40 can be separated from the position where the first substrate case 30 is disposed in a state where the second substrate case 40 is inclined with respect to the installation surface 26, whereby the protrusion 44 and the second protrusion 28 can be engaged with each other. Therefore, even when the first substrate case 30 is attached to the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25, the second substrate case 40 can be detached and attached alone. That is, since the first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 can be individually attached to and detached from the installation surface 26 of the attachment member 25, the interface substrate 29 and the payout relay held by these substrate cases 30 and 40 are provided. Replacement work, maintenance work, etc. of the substrate 39 and the like can be easily performed. Further, since the first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 are inclined with respect to the installation surface 26, even when other members are disposed in proximity to the substrate cases 30 and 40, respectively. By providing a space in which the first and second hook members 26a and 26b can be elastically deformed, the board cases 30 and 40 can be attached and detached, and the space required for the attachment and detachment work can be minimized.

  In the embodiment, each of the first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 is formed to have a size substantially matching with the corresponding interface substrate 29 and the dispensing relay substrate 39, so that each of the substrate cases 30 and 40 is formed. Can be as small as necessary. Here, the accommodating portion 43 formed in the second substrate case 40 is located on the back side (that is, the installation surface 26 side) of the dispensing relay substrate 39 held in the second substrate case 40, and the dispensing relay substrate 39. Since the right end portion and the accommodating portion 43 overlap with each other in the front-rear direction, the second substrate case 40 can be maintained at the minimum necessary size, and space efficiency can be improved.

  The protrusions 33 and 33 project from the edge of the left side of the first substrate case 30 on the installation surface 26 side, and the projecting piece 44 is accommodated in the right side of the second substrate case 40. Since the projection is provided at the edge of the portion 43 on the installation surface 26 side, the first and second projections 27, 27, 28 that engage with the projections 33, 33 and the projection piece 44 are attached to the mounting member. It is not necessary to project more than necessary from the 25 installation surfaces 26. That is, since the projecting dimensions of the first and second projecting portions 27, 27, and 28 can be made as small as possible, the width in the front-rear direction of the accommodating portion 43 that accommodates the first and second projecting portions 27, 27, and 28 can be reduced. Dimensions can be minimized. Specifically, the protrusions 33, 33 are provided to protrude from the left-side installation surface 26 of the first substrate case 30 by a required distance, and the right-side storage portion 43 of the second substrate case 40. When the protruding piece 44 protrudes from the installation surface 26 at a required distance, the first and second protruding portions 27, 27 can be engaged with the protruding portions 33, 33 and the protruding piece 44. , 28 need to protrude greatly from the installation surface 26. Further, with respect to the second substrate case 40, the accommodating portion 43 is formed to have a size capable of accommodating the first and second projecting portions 27, 27, 28, and the accommodating portion 43 (first and second projecting portions). Since the payout relay board 39 can be disposed so as to overlap the front and rear portions 27, 27, 28), there is a disadvantage that the size is increased more than necessary. That is, as in the embodiment, the protrusions 33, 33 are protruded from the left edge of the first substrate case 30 on the installation surface 26 side, and the protruding piece 44 is positioned on the right side of the second substrate case 40. The first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 can be made smaller by projecting from the edge on the installation surface 26 side of the accommodating portion 43 in the portion, and there is an advantage that the space can be effectively used.

That is, as shown in FIG. 10 or FIG. 11, elastically deformable hook members 51, 51 are formed on the right wall portion 31 d of the first substrate case 30 and the left wall portion 41 c of the second substrate case 40, respectively. Even when the engagement holes 53, 53 that are detachably engaged with the hook members 51, 51 are formed in the installation surface (installation portion) 52a of the attachment member 52, the same operational effects as in the embodiment can be obtained. In this case, second restricting members 52b and 52b that contact the right wall portion 31d of the first substrate case 30 and the left wall portion 41c of the second substrate case 40 are formed. , 40 are configured to prevent the hook members 51, 51 from being elastically deformed by moving in the left-right direction. However, since the hook member 51 engaged with the engagement hole 53 restricts the first and second substrate cases 30 and 40 from moving in the vertical direction, each substrate case as in the embodiment is used. It is not necessary to provide the attachment member 52 (installation surface 52a) with a restricting member 26c that restricts the vertical movement of 30,40.

  Further, in the embodiment, the third engagement portion is formed at a position facing the first substrate holding member in the second substrate holding member, and the second engagement holding the first substrate holding member in the installation portion.

A second projecting portion (fourth engaging portion) 28 is formed, and the first projecting portion 27 is formed in the housing portion 43 of the second substrate case 40 when the second substrate case 40 is attached to the installation surface 54a (attachment member 54). , 27 can face each other, the first and second substrate cases 30, 40 can be arranged close to each other, and the same effect as the embodiment can be obtained.

  Furthermore, in the embodiment, the case where two substrate holding members are arranged adjacent to each other in the installation portion is taken as an example. However, three or more substrate holding members can be arranged adjacent to each other. That is, taking as an example the case where three board cases are attached to the installation part, as shown in FIG. 13, the two first board cases 30 and 30 are vertically adjacent to the installation surface (installation part) 55a of the mounting member 55. And the second substrate case 40 is set to a size that can be adjacent to both the first substrate cases 30, 30, and the left wall portion of both the first substrate cases 30, 30 is arranged on the second substrate case 40. The housing part 43 is formed so as to open to the side of 31c, 31c, and the projecting parts 33, 33, 33, 33 and the first projecting parts 27, 27, 27 of the first substrate cases 30, 30 are formed in the housing part 43. If it comprises so that 27 may face, while being able to install each board | substrate case 30,30,40 efficiently in space, it can attach or detach with respect to the installation surface 55a independently. 10 to 13, members having the same functions as those in the embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals.

  In the embodiment, the interface board is held by the first board holding member and the payout relay board is held by the second board holding member. However, the present invention is not limited to this. Other gaming machines Various substrates placed on the substrate may be held by each substrate holding member. Moreover, although the attachment member that can be attached to and detached from the mechanism set board is provided as the installation part of the board holding member, the present invention is also applied to the installation part of the board holding member provided at an arbitrary part on the rear side of the mechanism set board or the gaming machine.
