Description

本発明は、弾球遊技機や回胴式遊技機等の遊技機の回路基板収容構造に関する。 The present invention relates to a circuit board housing structure for a gaming machine such as a ball ball game machine or a revolving game machine.

従来より、パチンコ機やスロットマシン等の遊技機においては、制御基板に実装された電子回路部品によって、遊技の進行を電子的に制御する方式が採用されている。こうした遊技機においては、正規の電子回路部品を不正な電子回路部品に交換する不正改造によって、例えば大当たりが頻発するような不正な態様で遊技を進行させることが技術的に可能であり、この様な不正改造行為が後を絶たないという問題が発生している。 Conventionally, a game machine such as a pachinko machine or a slot machine employs a method of electronically controlling the progress of a game using electronic circuit components mounted on a control board. In such a gaming machine, it is technically possible to advance a game in an unauthorized manner in which, for example, jackpots occur frequently by illegal modification that replaces regular electronic circuit components with unauthorized electronic circuit components. There has been a problem of unjustified illegal modification.

上記のような不正改造を防止する構造としては、電子回路部品や制御基板を基板ケースに収容するものがある（特許文献１）。この構造では、電子回路部品を不正な電子回路部品に交換する場合、基板ケースを破壊しなければならない。すなわち、不正行為が行われた場合に基板ケースに破壊された形跡が残るため、不正行為を発見し易くなり、その結果、不正行為を抑制する上で一定の効果は得られる。 As a structure for preventing the unauthorized modification as described above, there is a structure in which an electronic circuit component or a control board is accommodated in a board case (Patent Document 1). In this structure, when the electronic circuit component is replaced with an unauthorized electronic circuit component, the substrate case must be destroyed. That is, since a trace of destruction is left in the substrate case when an illegal act is performed, it becomes easy to find the illegal act, and as a result, a certain effect can be obtained in suppressing the illegal act.

ところで、従来の回路基板収容構造では、制御基板が発する熱による基板ケース内部の温度の上昇を抑えるために基板ケースに通気孔が設けられている。このため、この通気孔から針金などの導電性の異物を挿入して電子回路部品に接触させることによって、制御基板において実行される処理を誤動作させるという不正行為が行われる可能性がある。この場合、不正行為が行われても基板ケースに破壊された形跡が残らないため、不正行為の発見が難しく、不正行為を確実に抑制することができない。 By the way, in the conventional circuit board housing structure, a vent hole is provided in the board case in order to suppress an increase in temperature inside the board case due to heat generated by the control board. For this reason, there is a possibility that a fraudulent act of erroneously performing a process executed on the control board may be performed by inserting a conductive foreign substance such as a wire from the air hole and bringing it into contact with the electronic circuit component. In this case, since a trace of destruction is not left in the substrate case even if an illegal act is performed, it is difficult to find the illegal act and the illegal act cannot be reliably suppressed.

本発明は、上記課題を解決するためになされたものであり、その目的は、不正行為を発見し易く、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる回路基板収容構造を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a circuit board housing structure that can easily detect fraud and can reliably suppress fraud.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明に係る回路基板収容構造は、基板ケースと、カバー部材とを備える。基板ケースは、基板支持部と、上板と、支柱とを有し、遊技機に固定されて回路基板を収容する。基板支持部は、回路基板を支持する。上板は、透明又は半透明であり、貫通する複数の通気孔が形成され基板支持部に支持された回路基板の上面を覆う。カバー部材は、透明又は半透明であり、回路基板と上板との間で回路基板及び上板の双方から離間した所定位置に配置され、回路基板の上面の回路形成領域の全域又は上板の複数の通気孔の全ての少なくとも一方と対向する。支柱は、回路基板から延びて、カバー部材を所定位置と回路基板の上面を開放する第１開放位置との間で回転移動自在に支持する。上板は、回路基板の上面を覆う閉止位置と回路基板の上面を開放する第２開放位置とに移動可能である。所定位置から第１開放位置へのカバー部材の移動は、閉止位置の上板によって阻止される。 In order to achieve the above object, a circuit board housing structure according to the present invention includes a board case and a cover member. The board case has a board support portion, an upper plate, and a support, and is fixed to the gaming machine to accommodate the circuit board. The board support part supports the circuit board. The upper plate is transparent or semi-transparent, and covers the upper surface of the circuit board formed with a plurality of through holes and supported by the board support portion. The cover member is transparent or translucent, and is disposed at a predetermined position between the circuit board and the upper board, spaced from both the circuit board and the upper board, and the entire area of the circuit formation region on the upper surface of the circuit board or the upper board. It faces at least one of all of the plurality of vent holes . The column extends from the circuit board and supports the cover member so as to be rotatable and movable between a predetermined position and a first opening position where the upper surface of the circuit board is opened. The upper plate is movable between a closed position that covers the upper surface of the circuit board and a second open position that opens the upper surface of the circuit board. The movement of the cover member from the predetermined position to the first open position is blocked by the upper plate in the closed position.

上記構成では、基板ケースは回路基板を収容している。このため、不正に回路基板を交換しようとした場合、基板ケースを破壊しなければならない。すなわち、不正に回路基板が交換された場合に基板ケースに破壊された形跡が残るため、不正行為を発見し易く、不正行為を抑制することができる。また、基板ケースの上板には、貫通する複数の通気孔が形成されている。このため、回路基板が発する熱による基板ケース内部の温度の上昇を抑えることができる。さらに、カバー部材は、回路基板の上面の回路形成領域の全域又は上板の複数の通気孔の全ての少なくとも一方と対向する。従って、針金などの導電性の異物を基板ケースの通気孔に挿入されてもカバー部材によって回路基板への異物の接触を阻止することができる。すなわち、基板ケースを破壊せずに回路基板において実行される処理を誤動作させるという不正行為を防ぐことができるため、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。
また、所定位置から第１開放位置へのカバー部材の移動は、閉止位置の上板によって阻止される。すなわち、上板が閉止位置にある状態ではカバー部材は開放位置に移動できない。このため、基板ケースの上板が閉止位置にある状態では、カバー部材は上板の複数の通気孔の全てと必ず対向し、回路基板に針金などの導電性の異物を接触させる不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 In the above configuration, the circuit board case houses the circuit board. For this reason, if the circuit board is illegally replaced, the board case must be destroyed. In other words, when the circuit board is illegally replaced, a trace of destruction is left in the board case, so that it is easy to find an illegal act and suppress the illegal act. In addition, a plurality of through holes are formed in the upper plate of the substrate case. For this reason, the temperature rise in the substrate case due to the heat generated by the circuit board can be suppressed. Furthermore, the cover member is opposed to at least one of the entire circuit forming region on the upper surface of the circuit board or all of the plurality of vent holes on the upper plate. Therefore, even if a conductive foreign substance such as a wire is inserted into the vent hole of the board case, the cover member can prevent the foreign substance from contacting the circuit board. That is, since it is possible to prevent an illegal act of erroneously performing a process executed on the circuit board without destroying the substrate case, the illegal act can be reliably suppressed.
Further, the movement of the cover member from the predetermined position to the first open position is prevented by the upper plate at the closed position. That is, the cover member cannot move to the open position when the upper plate is in the closed position. For this reason, in the state where the upper plate of the board case is in the closed position, the cover member must be opposed to all of the plurality of ventilation holes of the upper plate, and the illegal act of bringing a conductive foreign substance such as a wire into contact with the circuit board is ensured. Can be suppressed.

また、回路基板に、互いに離間する複数の挿通孔を形成し、支柱を、複数の挿通孔に対応して複数設け、複数の支柱の各々に、挿通孔に挿入されて回路基板に支持される先端部と、先端部に形成されて外力を受けたときにせん断応力が集中する易変形部とを設けてもよい。 Also, a plurality of insertion holes that are separated from each other are formed in the circuit board, and a plurality of support columns are provided corresponding to the plurality of insertion holes, and each of the plurality of support columns is inserted into the insertion holes and supported by the circuit board. You may provide a front-end | tip part and the easily deformable part which is formed in a front-end | tip part and a shear stress concentrates when receiving external force.

上記構成では、カバー部材を強引に外すと支柱の易変形部が破壊される。すなわち、不正行為が行われた場合に支柱の易変形部に破壊された形跡が残るため、不正行為を発見し易く、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 In the above configuration, when the cover member is forcibly removed, the easily deformable portion of the support column is destroyed. That is, when a fraudulent act is performed, a trace of destruction is left in the easily deformable portion of the support column. Therefore, it is easy to find the fraudulent act, and the fraudulent act can be reliably suppressed.

また、カバー部材は、２つのカバー板からなり、２つのカバー板の各々は、その一片端に凹凸部を有し、その他片端が前記支柱に回転自在に連結されてもよい。所定位置に配置された２つのカバー板の凹凸部は、互いに当接して係合する。凹凸部の係合は、２つのカバー板の一方のみの第１開放位置への回転移動を阻止し、２つのカバー板が同時に回転移動した場合に限り第１開放位置への回転移動を許容する。The cover member may be composed of two cover plates, and each of the two cover plates may have a concavo-convex portion at one end and the other end may be rotatably connected to the support column. The concavo-convex portions of the two cover plates arranged at predetermined positions are in contact with each other and engaged. Engagement of the concavo-convex portion prevents rotational movement of only one of the two cover plates to the first opening position, and allows rotational movement to the first opening position only when the two cover plates rotate simultaneously. .

さらに、上記回路基板収容構造は、所定位置に配置された２つのカバー板の凹凸部の係合が解除不能となるように２つのカバー板を連結する環状の封印タグをさらに備えてもよい。Furthermore, the circuit board housing structure may further include an annular sealing tag that connects the two cover plates so that the engagement of the concavo-convex portions of the two cover plates arranged at a predetermined position cannot be released.

また、固定部材と、連結部材と、を備えてもよい。固定部材は、回路基板に対して支柱を固定し、支柱が回路基板に対して固定される固定状態への移行を許容すると共に、固定状態を解除する固定解除状態への移行を完全に禁止する。連結部材は、支柱に対してカバー部材を回転自在に連結し、カバー部材が支柱に対して回転自在に連結される連結状態への移行を許容すると共に、連結状態を解除する連結解除状態への移行を完全に禁止する。 Moreover, you may provide a fixing member and a connection member. The fixing member fixes the column with respect to the circuit board, allows a shift to a fixed state in which the column is fixed to the circuit board, and completely prohibits a shift to a fixed release state that releases the fixed state. . The connecting member rotatably connects the cover member to the support column, allows a transition to a connected state in which the cover member is rotatably connected to the support column, and releases the connected state to the connected release state. Completely prohibit migration.

上記構成では、固定部材によって回路基板に対して固定された支柱は、回路基板から外すことができない。また、連結部材によって支柱に対して連結されたカバー部材は、支柱から外すことができない。従って、不正を行う為に支柱やカバー部材を強引に移動させた場合、支柱またはカバー部材に破壊された形跡が残る。すなわち、不正行為が行われた場合に破壊された形跡によって不正行為を容易に発見することができるため、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 In the above configuration, the support column fixed to the circuit board by the fixing member cannot be removed from the circuit board. Moreover, the cover member connected with respect to the support | pillar by the connection member cannot be removed from a support | pillar. Therefore, when the support column or the cover member is forcibly moved to perform fraud, a trace of destruction is left on the support column or the cover member. In other words, since it is possible to easily find an illegal act based on a trace of destruction when an illegal act is performed, the illegal act can be reliably suppressed.

さらに、カバー部材は、カバー板と、周壁と、を有してもよい。カバー板は、所定位置に配置された状態で、回路基板の上面の回路形成領域の全域又は上板の複数の通気孔の全ての少なくとも一方と対向する。周壁は、カバー板の周縁から回路基板へ向かって延びる。 Furthermore, the cover member may have a cover plate and a peripheral wall. The cover plate faces at least one of the entire circuit forming region on the upper surface of the circuit board or all of the plurality of vent holes on the upper plate in a state of being arranged at a predetermined position. The peripheral wall extends from the peripheral edge of the cover plate toward the circuit board.

上記構成では、回路基板は、その上面の全域をカバー板によって覆われ、その側面をカバー板の周縁から回路基板へ向かって延びる周壁によって覆われている。従って、針金などの導電性の異物を基板ケースの通気孔に挿入されても、カバー板によって回路基板への上方向からの異物の接触を阻止することができ、周壁によって回路基板への横方向からの異物の接触を阻止することができる。すなわち、基板ケースを破壊せずに回路基板を誤作動させる不正行為をより確実に防ぐことができるため、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 In the above-described configuration, the entire upper surface of the circuit board is covered with the cover plate, and the side surface thereof is covered with the peripheral wall extending from the periphery of the cover plate toward the circuit board. Therefore, even if a conductive foreign object such as a wire is inserted into the ventilation hole of the board case, the cover board can prevent the foreign substance from coming into contact with the circuit board from the upper side, and the peripheral wall can be laterally connected to the circuit board. It is possible to prevent foreign matter from coming into contact. That is, since it is possible to more surely prevent an illegal act of malfunctioning the circuit board without destroying the board case, the illegal action can be reliably suppressed.

本発明に係る回路基板収容構造によれば、不正行為を発見し易く、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 According to the circuit board housing structure according to the present invention, it is easy to find a fraud and it is possible to reliably suppress the fraud.

次に、回路基板収容構造６０について説明する。図４〜図８に示すように、回路基板収容構造６０は、基板ケース７０、回路基板８０、支柱９０、固定部材１００、カバー部材であるカバー板１１０、連結部材１２０により構成されている。 Next, the circuit board housing structure 60 will be described. 4 to 8, the circuit board housing structure 60 includes a board case 70, a circuit board 80, a support 90, a fixing member 100, a cover plate 110 that is a cover member, and a connecting member 120.

基板ケース７０は、透明又は半透明な樹脂製部材からなる下ケース７１と上ケース７２とから構成される。下ケース７１は、遊技機２の後面６８に固定された略矩形状を有する下板７３と、下板７３の周縁部から遊技機２の後方に向けて延設された側板７４と、下板７３の後面（遊技機２の後面６８と対向する面とは反対側の面）に設けられた複数の基板支持部７５とを有する。回路基板８０は、基板支持部７５の後方（突出方向先端）に配置され、複数の基板支持部７５によりビス止め等で固定されている。上ケース７２は、下板７３と同形状となる略矩形状を有する上板７６と上板７６の周縁部から遊技機２の前方に向けて延設された側板７７とを有する。上板７６には、回路基板８０が発する熱による基板ケース７０内部の温度の上昇を抑えるための複数の通気孔７８が形成されている。上ケース７２は、上ケース７２の側板７７により形成される開口と下ケース７１の側板７４により形成される開口とが対向するように下ケース７１の後方に配置され、下ケース７１の側板７４と側板７７とが当接する当接部に対し、ヒンジ部７９を介して開閉自在に装着される。上ケース７２の上板７６は、回路基板８０の回路面を覆う閉止位置と回路基板８０の回路面を開放する開放位置とに移動可能である。なお、上ケース７２は、下ケース７２の側板７４に側板７７を当接させることによって回路基板８０を略密閉状態に収容すると共に、上ケース７２を開閉不能にするロック部（封止部）６９を介して回路基板８０の回路面を覆う閉止位置に固定されている。 The substrate case 70 includes a lower case 71 and an upper case 72 made of a transparent or translucent resin member. The lower case 71 includes a lower plate 73 having a substantially rectangular shape fixed to the rear surface 68 of the gaming machine 2, a side plate 74 extending from the peripheral edge of the lower plate 73 toward the rear of the gaming machine 2, and a lower plate. And a plurality of board support portions 75 provided on the rear surface of 73 (a surface opposite to the surface facing the rear surface 68 of the gaming machine 2). The circuit board 80 is arranged behind the board support part 75 (front end in the protruding direction), and is fixed by a plurality of board support parts 75 with screws or the like. The upper case 72 includes an upper plate 76 having a substantially rectangular shape that is the same shape as the lower plate 73, and a side plate 77 that extends from the peripheral portion of the upper plate 76 toward the front of the gaming machine 2. The upper plate 76 is formed with a plurality of ventilation holes 78 for suppressing an increase in temperature inside the substrate case 70 due to heat generated by the circuit board 80. The upper case 72 is disposed behind the lower case 71 so that the opening formed by the side plate 77 of the upper case 72 and the opening formed by the side plate 74 of the lower case 71 are opposed to each other. A contact portion with which the side plate 77 abuts is attached via a hinge portion 79 so as to be freely opened and closed. The upper plate 76 of the upper case 72 is movable between a closed position that covers the circuit surface of the circuit board 80 and an open position that opens the circuit surface of the circuit board 80. The upper case 72 accommodates the circuit board 80 in a substantially hermetically sealed state by bringing the side plate 77 into contact with the side plate 74 of the lower case 72 and at the same time, a lock portion (sealing portion) 69 that prevents the upper case 72 from being opened and closed. It is being fixed to the closed position which covers the circuit surface of the circuit board 80 via.

回路基板８０は、略板形状を有し、その回路面に主制御装置１３等で構成される回路形成領域８１を有する。また、回路基板８０には、回路形成領域８１よりも外側に複数の切欠き部８２及び複数の挿通孔８３が形成されている。 The circuit board 80 has a substantially plate shape, and has a circuit formation region 81 configured by the main controller 13 and the like on the circuit surface. In addition, a plurality of notches 82 and a plurality of insertion holes 83 are formed on the circuit board 80 outside the circuit formation region 81.

支柱９０は、略板形状を有し、易変形部９１と、フック部９２と、立設片９３と、挿通孔９４と、カバー板支持部９５とを有する。支柱９０の略前方（一方の先端側）の易変形部９１は、支柱９０が外力を受けたときにせん断応力が集中するようにくびれ形状を有する。支柱９０のフック部９２は、易変形部９１から前方（先端方向）に向かって延設され、回路基板８０に設けられフック部９２の全長より小径な挿通孔８３に撓み変形しながら挿入され、且つ回路基板８０の前面側から固定部材１００の係合部１０１に係合される。なお、挿通孔８３に挿入されたフック部９２は、基板ケース７０内に収容され、外部からの接触が不可能となる。立設片９３は、支柱９０の一方の先端側の易変形部９１を挟む位置に突設され、回路基板８０の切欠き部８２に嵌合される。この状態において支柱９０は、カバー板１１０の外形状（角部）に合わせた回路基板８０上の計４ヶ所に固定される。すなわち、支柱９０を挿通孔８３への挿入方向とは逆方向に移動させようとしても、支柱９０のフック部９２が固定部材１００の係合部１０１に係合されているため、支柱９０は移動不可能となる。また、立設片９３が切欠き部８２に嵌合することによって支柱９０の回転が不可能となる。挿通孔９４は、支柱９０の略後方（他方の先端側）に形成され、後述する連結部材１２０のフック部１２１が挿通される。連結部材１２０の保持部が設けられる支柱９０の後端部の内側部には、カバー板支持部９５が突設され、このカバー板支持部９５には、後述する閉止位置（所定位置）にあるカバー板１１０が載置されて支持される。 The support column 90 has a substantially plate shape and includes an easily deformable portion 91, a hook portion 92, a standing piece 93, an insertion hole 94, and a cover plate support portion 95. The easily deformable portion 91 substantially forward (one tip side) of the column 90 has a constricted shape so that shear stress is concentrated when the column 90 receives an external force. The hook portion 92 of the support column 90 extends from the easily deformable portion 91 toward the front (front end direction) and is inserted into the insertion hole 83 provided on the circuit board 80 and having a diameter smaller than the entire length of the hook portion 92 while being deformed. In addition, the engaging portion 101 of the fixing member 100 is engaged from the front side of the circuit board 80. The hook portion 92 inserted into the insertion hole 83 is accommodated in the substrate case 70 and cannot be contacted from the outside. The standing piece 93 protrudes at a position sandwiching the easily deformable portion 91 on one tip side of the support 90 and is fitted into the notch portion 82 of the circuit board 80. In this state, the support columns 90 are fixed to a total of four locations on the circuit board 80 that match the outer shape (corner portion) of the cover plate 110. That is, even if the support 90 is moved in the direction opposite to the insertion direction into the insertion hole 83, the support 90 is moved because the hook portion 92 of the support 90 is engaged with the engaging portion 101 of the fixing member 100. It becomes impossible. Further, the support piece 90 cannot be rotated by fitting the standing piece 93 into the notch 82. The insertion hole 94 is formed substantially rearward (on the other tip side) of the column 90, and a hook portion 121 of the connecting member 120 described later is inserted therethrough. A cover plate support portion 95 projects from the inner side of the rear end portion of the column 90 on which the holding portion of the connecting member 120 is provided. The cover plate support portion 95 is in a closed position (predetermined position) described later. A cover plate 110 is placed and supported.

カバー板１１０は、透明又は半透明な樹脂製部材で構成され、略矩形板形状を有する。また、カバー板１１０は、一片端側に凹凸部（切欠き）１１１を有し、他片端側の左右側面に連結部材挿通孔１１２を形成し、２つの板部材から構成される。カバー板１１０の連結部材挿通孔１１２には、連結部材１２０が挿通され、カバー板１１０は軸支状態となる。２つのカバー板１１０は、互いの凹凸部１１１が係合し合うように当接した状態で連結し、回路基板８０と上板７６との間で回路基板８０及び上板７６の双方から離間した所定位置（閉止位置）に配置される。なお、２つのカバー板１１０が連結した状態とは、凹凸部１１１同士の係合により、閉止位置に配置された２つのカバー板１１０の一方のみの開移動が阻止され、２つのカバー板１１０が同時に開移動した場合に限り開放される状態をいう。 The cover plate 110 is made of a transparent or translucent resin member and has a substantially rectangular plate shape. Further, the cover plate 110 has a concavo-convex portion (notch) 111 on one end side, and a connecting member insertion hole 112 is formed on the left and right side surfaces on the other end side, and is constituted by two plate members. The connecting member 120 is inserted into the connecting member insertion hole 112 of the cover plate 110, and the cover plate 110 is in a pivotally supported state. The two cover plates 110 are connected in contact with each other so that the concave and convex portions 111 engage with each other, and are separated from both the circuit board 80 and the upper board 76 between the circuit board 80 and the upper board 76. It is arranged at a predetermined position (closed position). Note that the state in which the two cover plates 110 are connected means that the engagement of the concavo-convex portions 111 prevents the opening movement of only one of the two cover plates 110 arranged at the closed position, and the two cover plates 110 are It means a state where it is opened only when it moves simultaneously.

連結部材１２０は、略円柱形状を有し、両端に対称的なフック部１２１を有する。なお、図８は、連結部材１２０の一端側のフック部１２１を示している。連結部材１２０のフック部１２１は、支柱９０の略後方に設けたフック部１２１の全長よりも小径な入口とフック部１２１の全長より大きい内部空間を有する挿通孔９４に撓み変形しながら挿入され、支柱９０に係合される。この状態において、それぞれのカバー板１１０は、離間して配置された２つの支柱９０の間に配置され、連結部材１２０によって回転自在に連結される。また、連結部材１２０を挿通孔９４への挿入方向とは逆方向に移動させようとしても、連結部材１２０のフック部１２１が支柱９０に係合されているため、連結部材１２０は移動不可能となる。それぞれのカバー板１１０は、対称的に並列して配置され、回路基板８０の回路面を覆いカバー板支持部９５によって支持される閉止位置と回路基板８０の回路面を開放する開放位置とに移動可能である。カバー板１１０は、閉止位置では、回路基板８０の回路面の回路形成領域８１の全域及び上板７６の複数の通気孔７８の全てと対向する。なお、上板７６が閉止位置にある状態では、カバー板１１０の閉止位置から開放位置への移動は上板７６によって阻止される。 The connecting member 120 has a substantially cylindrical shape and has symmetrical hook portions 121 at both ends. FIG. 8 shows the hook portion 121 on one end side of the connecting member 120. The hook portion 121 of the connecting member 120 is inserted while being bent and deformed into an insertion hole 94 having an inlet having a smaller diameter than the entire length of the hook portion 121 provided substantially rearward of the support column 90 and an internal space larger than the entire length of the hook portion 121. Engaged with the support 90. In this state, each cover plate 110 is disposed between two struts 90 that are spaced apart from each other, and is rotatably connected by a connecting member 120. Further, even if the connecting member 120 is moved in the direction opposite to the direction of insertion into the insertion hole 94, the hook member 121 of the connecting member 120 is engaged with the support 90, and thus the connecting member 120 is not movable. Become. The cover plates 110 are symmetrically arranged in parallel and move between a closed position that covers the circuit surface of the circuit board 80 and is supported by the cover plate support portion 95 and an open position that opens the circuit surface of the circuit board 80. Is possible. In the closed position, the cover plate 110 faces the entire circuit forming region 81 on the circuit surface of the circuit board 80 and all of the plurality of vent holes 78 of the upper plate 76. When the upper plate 76 is in the closed position, the movement of the cover plate 110 from the closed position to the open position is blocked by the upper plate 76.

このように、本実施形態によれば、基板ケース７０は回路基板８０を収容している。このため、不正に回路基板８０を交換しようとした場合、基板ケース７０を破壊しなければならない。すなわち、不正に回路基板８０が交換された場合に基板ケース７０に破壊された形跡が残るため、不正行為を発見し易く、不正行為を抑制することができる。また、基板ケース７０の上板７６には、貫通する複数の通気孔７８が形成されている。このため、回路基板８０が発する熱による基板ケース７０内部の温度の上昇を抑えることができる。さらに、カバー板１１０は、回路基板８０の後面の回路形成領域８１の全域及び上板７６の複数の通気孔７８の全てと対向する。従って、針金などの導電性の異物を基板ケース７０の通気孔７８に挿入されてもカバー板１１０によって回路基板８０への異物の接触を阻止することができる。すなわち、基板ケース７０を破壊せずに回路基板８０において実行される処理を誤動作させるという不正行為を防ぐことができるため、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 Thus, according to this embodiment, the substrate case 70 accommodates the circuit board 80. For this reason, if the circuit board 80 is illegally replaced, the board case 70 must be destroyed. That is, when the circuit board 80 is illegally replaced, a broken trace remains in the substrate case 70, so that it is easy to find an illegal act and suppress the illegal act. The upper plate 76 of the substrate case 70 has a plurality of through holes 78 penetrating therethrough. For this reason, the temperature rise in the substrate case 70 due to the heat generated by the circuit board 80 can be suppressed. Further, the cover plate 110 faces the entire circuit formation region 81 on the rear surface of the circuit board 80 and all of the plurality of vent holes 78 of the upper plate 76. Therefore, even if a conductive foreign matter such as a wire is inserted into the vent hole 78 of the substrate case 70, the cover plate 110 can prevent the foreign matter from contacting the circuit board 80. That is, since it is possible to prevent an illegal act of causing the processing executed on the circuit board 80 to malfunction without destroying the substrate case 70, the illegal act can be reliably suppressed.

また、カバー板１１０を強引に外すと支柱９０の易変形部９１が破壊される。すなわち、不正行為が行われた場合に支柱９０の易変形部９１に破壊された形跡が残るため、不正行為を発見し易く、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 Further, when the cover plate 110 is forcibly removed, the easily deformable portion 91 of the support column 90 is destroyed. That is, when a fraudulent act is performed, a trace of destruction is left in the easily deformable portion 91 of the support column 90. Therefore, the fraudulent act can be easily found and the fraudulent act can be reliably suppressed.

さらに、閉止位置から開放位置へのカバー板１１０の移動は、閉止位置の上板７６によって阻止される。すなわち、上板７６が閉止位置にある状態ではカバー部材は開放位置に移動できない。このため、基板ケース７０の上板７６が閉止位置にある状態では、カバー板１１０は上板７６の複数の通気孔７８の全てと必ず対向し、回路基板８０に針金などの導電性の異物を接触させる不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 Further, the movement of the cover plate 110 from the closed position to the open position is prevented by the upper plate 76 in the closed position. That is, the cover member cannot move to the open position when the upper plate 76 is in the closed position. For this reason, in the state where the upper plate 76 of the substrate case 70 is in the closed position, the cover plate 110 always faces all of the plurality of vent holes 78 of the upper plate 76, and conductive foreign matters such as wires are applied to the circuit board 80. It is possible to reliably suppress fraudulent acts that come into contact.

また、固定部材１００によって回路基板８０に対して固定された支柱９０は、支柱９０のフック部９２が固定部材１００の係合部１０１に係合するため、回路基板８０から外すことができない。また、連結部材１２０によって支柱９０に対して連結されたカバー板１１０は、連結部材１２０のフック部１２１が支柱９０に係合するため、支柱９０から外すことができない。従って、不正を行う為に支柱９０やカバー板１１０を強引に移動させた場合、支柱９０またはカバー板１１０に破壊された形跡が残る。すなわち、不正行為が行われた場合に破壊された形跡によって不正行為を容易に発見することができるため、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 Further, the support column 90 fixed to the circuit board 80 by the fixing member 100 cannot be removed from the circuit board 80 because the hook portion 92 of the support column 90 engages with the engaging portion 101 of the fixing member 100. Further, the cover plate 110 connected to the support 90 by the connection member 120 cannot be removed from the support 90 because the hook portion 121 of the connection member 120 engages with the support 90. Therefore, when the support column 90 or the cover plate 110 is forcibly moved to perform fraud, a broken trace remains on the support column 90 or the cover plate 110. In other words, since it is possible to easily find an illegal act based on a trace of destruction when an illegal act is performed, the illegal act can be reliably suppressed.

なお、本実施形態では、カバー板１１０と回路基板８０との間は開放されていたが、図１０に示すように、カバー板１１０の周縁から回路基板８０へ向かって延びる周壁１１３を設けてもよい。また、周壁１１３には、複数の通気孔１１４が形成されている。 In this embodiment, the space between the cover plate 110 and the circuit board 80 is open. However, as shown in FIG. 10, a peripheral wall 113 extending from the periphery of the cover plate 110 toward the circuit board 80 may be provided. Good. A plurality of vent holes 114 are formed in the peripheral wall 113.

上記構成では、回路基板８０の回路形成領域８１（図５参照）は、その回路面の全域をカバー板１１０によって覆われ、その側面をカバー板１１０の周縁から回路基板８０へ向かって延びる周壁１１３によって覆われている。従って、針金などの導電性の異物を基板ケース７０の通気孔７８に挿入されても、後方向から基板ケース７０内部に進入した異物の回路基板８０への接触をカバー板１１０によって阻止することができ、基板ケース７０への進入方向と直交する横方向からの異物の回路基板８０への接触を周壁１１３によって阻止することができる。すなわち、基板ケース７０を破壊せずに回路基板８０を誤作動させる不正行為をより確実に防ぐことができるため、不正行為を確実に抑制することができる。 In the above configuration, the circuit formation region 81 (see FIG. 5) of the circuit board 80 is covered with the cover plate 110 over the entire circuit surface, and the peripheral wall 113 extends from the periphery of the cover plate 110 toward the circuit board 80. Covered by. Therefore, even if a conductive foreign matter such as a wire is inserted into the vent hole 78 of the substrate case 70, the cover plate 110 can prevent the foreign matter that has entered the substrate case 70 from the rear side from contacting the circuit board 80. In addition, the peripheral wall 113 can prevent the foreign material from coming into contact with the circuit board 80 from the lateral direction perpendicular to the direction of entry into the board case 70. That is, since it is possible to more reliably prevent an illegal act that causes the circuit board 80 to malfunction without destroying the substrate case 70, the illegal act can be reliably suppressed.

また、本実施形態では、カバー板１１０は閉止位置と開放位置とに移動可能であったが、図１１に示すように、２つのカバー板１１０の凸凹部１１１の係合の解除が不能となるように連結する環状の封印タグ１３０等を２つのカバー板１１０にわたって設け、封印タグ１３０を破壊しない限りカバー板１１０を開放位置に移動できないようにしてもよい。 In the present embodiment, the cover plate 110 can be moved between the closed position and the open position. However, as shown in FIG. 11, the engagement of the convex recesses 111 of the two cover plates 110 cannot be released. An annular sealing tag 130 or the like to be connected may be provided over the two cover plates 110 so that the cover plate 110 cannot be moved to the open position unless the sealing tag 130 is destroyed.

さらに、本実施形態では、カバー板１１０を支柱９０を介して回路基板８０側に設けていたが、基板ケース７０側に設けた支柱９０に対して設けてもよい。その場合、カバー板１１０は開放する必要がないため、カバー板１１０は１つの板部材で構成することができる。 Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cover plate 110 is provided on the circuit board 80 side via the support column 90, but may be provided on the support column 90 provided on the substrate case 70 side. In that case, since the cover plate 110 does not need to be opened, the cover plate 110 can be formed of a single plate member.

また、本実施形態では、基板ケース７０が収容する回路基板８０として主制御装置１３を示したが、これに限定されることなく、他の回路基板についても適用可能である。 In the present embodiment, the main control device 13 is shown as the circuit board 80 accommodated in the board case 70. However, the present invention is not limited to this and can be applied to other circuit boards.

以上、本発明者によってなされた発明を適用した実施形態について説明したが、この実施形態による本発明の開示の一部をなす論述及び図面により本発明は限定されることはない。すなわち、この実施形態に基づいて当業者等によりなされる他の実施形態、実施例及び運用技術等は全て本発明の範疇に含まれることは勿論であることを付け加えておく。 As mentioned above, although the embodiment to which the invention made by the present inventor is applied has been described, the present invention is not limited by the discussion and the drawings that form part of the disclosure of the present invention according to this embodiment.
