Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. 1 is an exploded perspective view of the base box, FIG. 2 is a bottom view of the base box partly in section, FIG. 3 is an enlarged view of the main part of FIG.
FIG. 4 is a back view of the pachinko machine.

As shown in FIG. 4, for example, in the pachinko machine P which is a kind of gaming machine, the base box 10 is attached to a winning ball collecting cover 3 provided on the back side of the gaming board 2. The base box 10 is a combination of a synthetic resin transparent box base 11 and a synthetic resin transparent box cover 12, and is a control unit that is an assembly of electronic components (not shown) such as a built-in ROM. The base 4 is housed inside.

The box base 11 includes a rectangular plate 11a, ribs 11b (see FIG. 5) that protrude from the upper surface of the plate 11a and serve as a mounting base for a printed circuit board 4a, which will be described later, and two adjacent sides of the plate 11a. Auxiliary side plates 11c standing up one by one and plates 11a
Are attached to the upper and lower sides of the winning ball assembly cover 3 and engage with the attachment portion 11d.

On the other hand, the box cover 12 has an upper surface 12a and peripheral side plates 12b-1 on the upper surface and the four side surfaces.
2e, the two peripheral side plates 12d and 12e are formed with a recessed portion 12f that fits into the auxiliary side plate 11c of the box base 11, and the other one peripheral side plate 12b is provided with the box base 11 The step part 5 is formed in the site | part which fell at right angle to the side. And this step part 5 is made to correspond to the shape, number and arrangement of connectors 4b of the control board 4 to be described later.
Are formed.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the stepped portion 5 includes a connector opening 5b formed in the box cover 12, and a transparent plate-like cover member 5c made of synthetic resin that closes the connector opening 5b from the inside. The cover member 5c is provided with the insertion port 5a. Further, the cover member 5c is provided with an engaging step portion 5d on the outer periphery, and the connector opening 5b is provided in the engaging step portion 5d.
The peripheries of are engaged.

In this way, the base box 10 in which the insertion opening 5a is provided in the cover member 5c separate from the box cover 12 can be changed by replacing only the cover member 5c with respect to changes in the shape, number, and arrangement of the connectors 4b Therefore, it is highly useful as a cost reduction measure. Paragraph number 0016 provides further details regarding this point.

The control board 4 is formed by attaching electronic components such as a built-in ROM and CPU, and connectors 4b for connection to a printed circuit board 4a. There are a plurality of different or similar connectors 4b, which are arranged on one side of the printed circuit board 4a. As described above, all the connectors 4b correspond to the insertion openings 5a of the box cover 12.

Next, a method for assembling the base box 10 will be described. First, as shown in FIG. 1, the control base 4 is placed on the rib 11 b of the box base 11. Next, a cover member 5c is placed on the printed circuit board 4a of the control board 4 to cover the periphery of the connector 4b. Next, the box cover 12 is put on the box base 11 while fitting the auxiliary side plate 11c and the recess 12f. And from the back side of the box base 11, the mounting holes 4c of the printed circuit board 4a ...
Thread a screw (not shown) so as to pass through, insert the screw into a female screw part (not shown) on the box cover 12 side, and tighten it. If necessary, join the box base 11 and the box cover 12 at the joint. Sealing processing (sealing seal sticking, installation of seals, etc.) is performed. At this time, as shown in FIG. 2, the cover member 5c is locked with the outer peripheral engagement step 5d sandwiched between the peripheral edge of the connector opening 5b and the printed board 4a. It should be noted that the joint portion between the cover member 5c and the connector opening 5b is formed in an L shape by engaging the peripheral edges of the engagement step portion 5d and the connector opening 5b, so that foreign matter cannot be inserted. Of course, as means for achieving the purpose of preventing such foreign object insertion, the joining form of the engaging step portion 5d and the connector opening 5b is not limited to the structure shown in the figure. A crime prevention effect is obtained.

Thus, since the connector 4b protrudes outside the box cover 12 in the base box 10, the connector Y of the relay cable X can be freely attached and detached without removing the box cover 12 one by one. In addition, since the printed circuit board 4a around the connector 4b is not exposed to the outside of the box cover 12, the printed circuit board 4a cannot be directly touched, and the printed circuit board 4a is not provided with a gap for improper processing. If the size (depth) of the step portion 5 is set so that the connector 4b of the control board 4 can be completely accommodated, the connector 4
b is not bulky, and even if a plurality of base boxes 10 are stacked for transportation, the connector 4
There is no fear that the pin b is deformed (bent or falls). In particular, as shown in the figure, if the shoulder portion 50 is provided at one or both ends of the step portion 5 of the box cover 12, even if the pin of the connector 4b is exposed to the outside, it becomes a deformation factor. The risk of receiving external force is reduced. More preferably, as shown in FIG. 3, a protective wall 500 is provided on the side of the step portion 5 to guard the pins of the connector 4b as shown in FIG. It is perfect.

Although the present invention has been described above with reference to the embodiment, it is needless to say that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiment. For example, in the embodiment, the connector opening 5b is closed with the cover member 5c to form the stepped portion 5, but the cover member 5c may be integrally formed with the box cover 12 as shown in FIG. However, the following disadvantages can be considered in the structure of FIG. That is, the shape, number, arrangement, etc. of the connector 4b may be changed depending on the game content. In such a case, the box cover 12 shown in FIG. Everything needs to be recreated. For this reason, the cost for molds and the like increases. Compared to that, as in the embodiment, "a box base attached to the gaming machine side,
In a gaming machine base box having a box cover that covers the box base and a control base having electronic components and connectors for connection attached to a printed circuit board, a connector opening is formed in the box cover, and the connector opening is covered with a cover member Configured to close with
Forming an insertion port in the cover member at a position corresponding to the connector of the control board and substantially matching the outer shape of the connector, and projecting the connector of the control board to the outside of the box cover through the insertion hole In the “Correct box”, the shape, number, and number of connectors 4b
Even if the arrangement or the like is changed, it is possible to cope with the change only by the cover member 5c, so that the cost such as the mold cost can be greatly reduced.
