Description

  The present invention relates to gaming machines such as pachinko machines and slot machines.

  In gaming machines such as pachinko machines, various control boards and the like are mounted on the back side of the main body and the like while being stored in a board case. A general board case is configured to have a substantially box shape by combining an upper case body and a second case body so as to be openable and closable.

  Some board cases of gaming machines are provided with sealing means for preventing fraud with respect to the control board. This sealing means seals the upper case body and the second case body in a closed state with the control board stored, and prevents the unauthorized opening by leaving the trace when opened after that. It is intended to prevent it in advance and make it easy to detect it even if it is opened illegally.

  As this type of substrate case and its sealing means, for example, those described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are common. In each of the gaming machines described in each of these patent documents, the sealing member held by the holding member on the side of the case body is kept in the state of being held by the holding member on the side of the case case. The substrate case is configured to be sealed by being coupled to the coupling portion, that is, by coupling the holding member on the case body side and the coupled portion on the case body side by the sealing member.

  Further, when opening the sealed substrate case, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 1 breaks the breakage portion provided at the connection portion between the holding member and the case case body and removes the holding member from the case case. By separating from the body, the gaming machine described in Patent Document 2 breaks the damaged portion provided in the substantially middle portion of the sealing member and separates the sealing member into the upper case body side and the second case body side. Each of the upper case body and the second case body is configured to release the seal.

  By the way, in the conventional gaming machine as described above, for example, two sets of regular products in a sealed state are prepared, and for one of the board cases, the former case body side is broken so that the former case body is in the same state as before the sealing. In the case of the other board case, the former case body containing the sealing member is taken out in the same state as before by breaking the case body side on the contrary, and they are combined to create a new one that has no trace of opening. There is a possibility that one board case can be illegally created.

  Therefore, for example, in the invention described in Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-087127 (Prior Application 1), for example, by fixing the both end sides of the easily deformable connecting member to the case case body and the case case body respectively so as not to be detached. The body and the case body are connected in an openable and closable state. As a result, the upper case body and the second case body are taken out from the two sets of substrate cases in the same state as before sealing, and even if they are combined, the trace remains on the cut connecting member. It is impossible to illegally create the same regular board case as before.

JP 2000-126420 A JP 2005-137497 A

  By the way, even if the upper case body and the second case body are connected by the connecting member as in the invention described in the prior application 1, for example, the upper in the state of being connected by the connecting member from one of the two sets of board cases. If the case body and the second case body can be taken out and the sealing member can be taken out from the other, there is a possibility that one can be illegally created by combining them together to create a new substrate case with no trace of opening.

  Therefore, in the invention described in the prior application 1, a cover member that covers the sealing member provided on the outer side of the outer case body from the outside is attached to the outer case body so as not to be detached, and a driver or the like is attached to the cover member during the sealing operation. By providing only the opening of the minimum size for pushing the sealing member in, only the sealing member is broken without damaging the upper case body and the second case body connected with the connecting member. The seal cannot be released.

  However, as in the invention described in, for example, Japanese Patent Application No. 2008-238214 (Prior Application 2), the sealing member is independent from the former and the outer case body in the unsealed state. Even in this state, the sealing member is exposed to the outside of the substrate case. Therefore, even if the upper case body and the second case body are connected by the connecting member, the upper case body and the second case connected by the connecting member are connected. It is relatively easy to break only the sealing member without damaging the case body and release the sealing. From the two sets of sealed substrate cases, a new substrate case with no trace of opening is obtained. There is a possibility that one can be created illegally.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and the object of the present invention is to adopt a configuration in which the sealing member is independent from the former and the outer case body in an unsealed state. Regardless, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine that can effectively prevent a fraudulent act of creating a new board case having no trace of opening from a plurality of board cases.

The present invention includes a substrate case 43 that includes an upper case body 41 and a second case body 42 and can accommodate the substrate 13, and is formed separately from the substrate case 43 and is closed. In a gaming machine provided with a sealing member 47 capable of sealing the upper and second case bodies 41, 42, a first connecting means for connecting the first case body 41 and the second case body 42 in an openable / closable state. 49a, and a second connecting means 49b for connecting at least one of the upper and second case bodies 41 and 42 and the sealing member 47 in a state where the sealing operation is possible, the first connecting means 49a An upper case side fixing portion 66a fixed to the fixed base portion 67 on the upper case body 41 side in a non-removable manner; and a second case side fixing portion 66b fixed to the fixed base portion 92 on the second case body 42 side in a non-removable manner. Integrated with the front The second connecting means 49b includes a case-side fixing portion 66b that is detachably fixed to at least one fixing base portion 92 of the upper and second case bodies 41, 42, and a fixing base portion 124 on the sealing member 47 side. A sealing member side fixing portion 66c fixed so as not to be detachable is integrally provided , and the first connecting means 49a and the second connecting means 49b are provided integrally .

  According to the present invention, even if a new substrate case 43 is created by combining the upper case body 41, the case case body 42, and the sealing member 47 taken out from the plurality of substrate cases 43, the first connecting means 49a and the second connection case 49a Even the state of being connected by the connecting means 49b cannot be reproduced, and such illegal acts can be effectively prevented. Moreover, although the sealing member 47 is independent from the substrate case 43, the loss of the sealing member 47 before sealing can be reliably prevented.

The protruding portion 165 can be easily removed by a nipper or the like, and by removing the protruding portion 165, it is possible to slide from the mounting unlocked state to the second mounting locked state side.

  The temporary fixing hooks 155 and 156 are for temporarily fixing the main board case 43 mounted on the mounting base 36 in the mounting unlocked state. For example, one or a plurality of sets, for example, one set are provided above and below the mounting base 36. The main board case 43 is held by detachably engaging with the front edge side along the side surfaces of the main board case 43, for example, the upper peripheral wall 94 and the lower peripheral wall 95.

  On the main board case 43 side, as shown in FIG. 6 and the like, for example, positioning ribs 166 corresponding to at least one of these temporary fixing hooks 155 and 156, for example, the lower temporary fixing hook 156, are provided on the front case body 42, for example. It is provided integrally. The positioning rib 166 is located on one side in the mounting slide direction with respect to the temporary fixing hook 156 when the main board case 43 is mounted on the mounting base 36 and is in the mounting unlocked state, for example, the first mounting lock side (right side). If the main board case 43 is mounted on the mounting base 36 with the positioning rib 166 along the right side of the temporary fixing hook 156, it can be easily positioned in the unlocked state. When the main board case 43 is slid from the mounting unlocked state to the first mounting locked state side, the temporary fixing hook 156 may be elastically deformed to temporarily release the engagement with the positioning rib 166.

  When the main board case 43 as described above is mounted in the main body case 2, the main board case 43 is first sealed in a state where the main control board 13 is stored, and an IC tag seal 45 is attached to the main board case 43. Then, the seal cover 50 is attached, and the main substrate case 43 in that state is attached and sealed to the attachment base 36 fixed to the back plate 7 in the main body case 2 in advance. Hereinafter, the mounting / sealing procedure and the subsequent opening procedure will be briefly described with reference to FIGS.

(A1) Attachment of the main control board 13 to the main board case 43 First, the main control board 13 is attached to the main board case 43, but as a previous step, the back case body 41 constituting the main board case unit 14 and the front case body A set of the case body 42, the closing sealing member 47, the mounting sealing member 48, and the connecting member 52 is prepared, and the back case body 41, the front case body 42, and the closing sealing member 47 are connected to the connecting member 52 by the method described above. Connect to each other.

  In addition, with the mounting sealing member 48 inserted into the second back case side sealing mounting portion 74a, the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 are fitted together and slid to each other to be in a closed locked state, thereby closing the sealing If the member 47 is attached to the sealing member holder 93, the unsealed main substrate case 43 can be easily transported as a unit. At this time, the mounting sealing member 48 is stored in the second sealing mounting portion 74, and the closing sealing member 47 is connected to the main board case 43 by the connecting member 52. There is no worry about losing.

  When the main control board 13 is mounted, for example, the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 of the main board case 43 temporarily assembled in an unsealed state as described above are slid to the mounting unlocked state side. The main control board 13 is mounted inside the front case body 42 so that the electronic component mounting surface 13a faces the upper wall 98 side, and is fixed by screwing.

(A2) Closing / sealing of the main board case 43 When the main control board 13 is mounted on the front case body 42, the front case body 42 is mounted in the second back case side sealing mounting portion 74a. The back case body 41 in the inserted state is fitted from the front side to be in a closed unlocked state (FIG. 12A).

  At this time, the first and second back case side sealing mounting portions 73a and 74a on the back case body 41 side and the first and second front case side sealing mounting portions 73b and 74b on the front case body 42 side are mutually The shaft is shifted in the closing slide direction. Further, the back case side sticking surface 82a and the front case side sticking surface 82b are also spaced apart in the closing slide direction (FIG. 13A).

  Subsequently, the front case body 42 is slid rightward with respect to the back case body 41. As a result, the closing engagement means 54 on the back case body 41 side engages with the engaged portion 55b on the front case body 42 side, and the main board case 43 enters the closed lock state, and the back case body 41 side The first and second back case side sealing mounting portions 73a and 74a and the first and second front case side sealing mounting portions 73b and 74b on the front case body 42 side are mutually in the front-rear direction perpendicular to the closing slide direction. A matching state is obtained (FIG. 12B).

  At this time, the holding rib 129 on the second front case side sealing mounting portion 74b side substantially contacts the rear end side in the insertion direction of the mounting sealing member 48 in the second back case side sealing mounting portion 74a. The sealing member 48 is fixed in a state in which the protrusion 128 on the tip side protrudes from the through hole 78 to the back side.

  Further, the back case side sticking surface 82a and the front case side sticking surface 82b are connected at the connecting sides 87a, 87b to form one IC tag seal sticking surface 82 (FIG. 13B). At this time, the positioning protrusion 90b of the front case side attaching portion 65b is engaged with the positioning opening 90a on the back case side attaching portion 65a and engages with the back side of the back case side attaching surface 82a. It is possible to prevent a level difference due to lifting on the front case side pasting surface 82b side with respect to 82a.

  Subsequently, the closure sealing member 47 is detached from the sealing member holder 93 and inserted into the first seal mounting portion 73, and the retaining engagement claw 123 is attached to the back side end portion of the first front case side seal mounting portion 73b. Engage (Fig. 12 (c)). As a result, the first back case side sealing mounting portion 73a and the first front case side sealing mounting portion 73b cannot be moved relative to each other in the closing slide direction. Therefore, the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 are closed. Regulated in the locked state. Moreover, since the retaining engagement claw 123 is covered by the first back case side sealing mounting portion 73a (see FIG. 16), the engagement of the retaining engagement claw 123 is released from the outside to be closed and sealed. The member 47 cannot be removed, and therefore the main board case 43 is in a closed sealing state in which sliding toward the closed unlocked state is prevented from being unreleasable. In this state, the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 may be further fixed by screwing or the like.

(A3) Affixing the IC tag seal 45 and mounting the seal cover 50 Subsequently, the IC tag seal 45 is affixed on the IC tag seal affixing surface 82 (FIG. 14A), and the seal cover is formed so as to cover the surface of the IC tag seal 45 Wear 50. When mounting the seal cover 50, first, the hinge pin 142a on one end side is engaged with the seal cover engaging portions 91a and 91b from the back side of the main board case 43, and the coupling on the other end side is swung around its axis. The pin 143 is penetrated through the insertion slit 114 of the coupled portion 112 (FIG. 14 (b) → (c)). Accordingly, the coupling pin 143 engages with the back side of the elastic engagement portion 116, and the coupling portion is covered from the outside by the sealing cover portion 141b, so that the seal cover 50 cannot be detached from the main board case 43. It becomes a combined state.

  In addition, the seal cover portion 141a is in a state of being in close contact with the surface of the IC tag seal 45 on the IC tag seal application surface 82, and the IC tag seal 45 can be prevented from peeling off. In addition, since the IC tag seal sticking surface 82 is provided with a bent portion 89 and the seal cover 50 is formed in a shape along the bent portion 89, for example, a thin knife such as a cutter knife is attached to the IC tag seal 45. It is difficult to remove the IC tag seal 45 by inserting it into the adhesive layer between the IC tag seal sticking surface 82 and the IC tag seal sticking surface 82.

  The engaged portion 142 of the seal cover 50 is engaged with a seal cover engaging portion 91a on the back case body 41 side and a seal cover engaging portion 91b on the front case body 42 side as shown in FIG. Since the sliding in the direction in which they separate is restricted, the main substrate case 43 cannot be opened unless the seal of the seal cover 50 to the main substrate case 43 is released and the seal cover 50 is removed. That is, the seal cover 50 also has a function as a closing sealing means different from the closing sealing member 47.

  Here, for example, a plurality of main board cases 43 sealed as described above are prepared, and the seal cover 50, the back case body 41, and the front case body 42 in a state where there is no trace of opening from each main board case 43. Even if the closing sealing member 47 and the like are successfully taken out, the back case body 41, the front case body 42 and the closing sealing member 47 are connected by the connecting members 52 (first connecting means 49a and second connecting means 49b). Since they are connected to each other, it is necessary to cut the connecting member 52 in order to create a new main board case 43 by combining them. That is, even if a new main board case 43 is created by combining the back case body 41, the front case body 42, the closing sealing member 47, etc. taken out from the plurality of main board cases 43, the state is still connected by the connecting member 52. Can not be reproduced, and such fraud can be effectively prevented.

(A4) Mounting / Sealing of Main Board Case 43 to Mounting Base 36 Next, the main board case 43 in a closed and sealed state is attached to the mounting base 36 fixed to the back plate 7 in the main body case 2 in advance from the front side. The mounting engagement means 57 on the mounting base 36 side is fitted into the fitting portions 58a in the mounting guide groove 104 on the front case body 42 side to make the mounting unlocked state, and the upper and lower temporary fixing hooks 155, 156 Temporarily fix with. At this time, if the positioning rib 166 on the main board case 43 side is fitted along the right side of the temporary fixing hook 156, it can be easily positioned in the mounted unlocked state. Further, in this mounted unlocked state, the projection 165 on the back side of the main board case 43 is engaged with the right side of the slide restricting section 164 on the mounting base 36 side. It cannot be slid to the state side (left side).

  Subsequently, the temporary fixing hook 156 is elastically deformed to temporarily disengage the positioning rib 166, and then the main board case 43 is slid rightward with respect to the mounting base 36 (FIG. 15A). (B)). As a result, the mounting engagement means 57 on the mounting base 36 side engages with the mounting engaged means 58 on the front case body 42 side, and the main board case 43 enters the first mounting locked state with respect to the mounting base 36. At this time, the protrusion 128 on the main board case 43 side engages with the first mounting sealing engagement claw 157, and the sliding toward the mounting unlocked state is restricted. In addition, the engagement of the first mounting sealing engagement claw 157 cannot be released from the outside, and therefore, the main board case 43 is prevented from sliding to the mounting unlocked state with respect to the mounting base 36. The attached sealed state is obtained.

  The connector cover 46 may be attached after the main board case 43 is attached to the mounting base 36 and the harness side connector 105 is connected to the connector 61a on the main board case 43 side.

(B1) Removal of main board case 43 When the main board case 43 mounted in the main body case 2 is opened for inspection or the like by the above procedure, the connector cover 46 is first removed and the harness is removed from the connector 61a. The side connector 105 is removed. Then, the closing lid 110 is pierced using a tool such as a screwdriver, the closing lid 110 is removed to open the end of the second sealing mounting portion 74, and the mounting sealing member 48 is extracted therefrom (FIG. 17). . As a result, the protrusion 128 that has been engaged with the first attachment sealing engagement claw 157 disappears, and the attachment sealing state is released. Therefore, the temporary fixing hook 156 is elastically deformed to engage with the positioning rib 166. Can be removed from the mounting base 36 by sliding the main board case 43 toward the mounting unlocked state with respect to the mounting base 36.

(B2) Removing the seal cover 50 and cutting the IC tag seal 45 Subsequently, the seal cover 50 is removed from the main board case 43 removed from the attachment base 36. That is, the connecting ribs 148a to 148c of the seal cover 50 are cut with a nipper or the like, and the seal cover 50 is removed from the main substrate case 43 leaving only the sealing cover portion 141b (FIG. 18). Then, the IC tag seal 45 is cut with a cutter knife or the like along the boundary line (between the connecting sides 47a and 47b) between the back case side attaching surface 82a and the front case side attaching surface 82b, for example (FIG. 18). Thereby, the main substrate case 43 is released from the sealed state by the seal cover 50 and the sealed state by the IC tag seal 45.

(B3) Opening of the main board case 43 Subsequently, the second connecting band portion 132 of the connecting member 52 is cut to release the connection between the main board case 43 and the closing sealing member 47, and then the first front case side The connecting ribs 108a to 108d of the sealing mounting portion 73b are cut using a cutting tool such as a nipper, and the first front case side sealing mounting portion 73b is removed from the front case body 42 together with the closing sealing member 47 (FIG. 19). (A), (b)). Thereby, since the closed sealing state of the main substrate case 43 is released, the main substrate case 43 can be opened by sliding the back case body 41 toward the closed unlocked state with respect to the front case body 42. .

(C1) Sealing of the Main Substrate Case 43 for the Second Time In the main substrate case unit 14 of this embodiment, once opened, the sealing can be performed once again with the trace left. . Hereinafter, the second sealing and opening procedure will be briefly described. Since the seal cover 50 is broken at the first opening, it cannot be mounted again at the second sealing. Further, the mounting sealing member 48 is not used for the second sealing.

  First, as in the first sealing, the front case body 42 is fitted to the back case body 41 from the front side to be in a closed unlocked state, and then the front case body 42 is attached to the back case body 41. Slide it to the right to lock it. At this time, the mounting sealing member 48 is not inserted into the second back case side sealing mounting portion 74a.

  Subsequently, the closing sealing member 47 separated from the front case body 42 at the first opening is inserted into the second sealing mounting portion 74 instead of the first sealing mounting portion 73 this time (FIG. 20). The second front case side sealing mounting portion 74b constituting the second sealing mounting portion 74 is in a state where the closing sealing member 47 can be inserted by removing the closing lid 110 at the first opening. . As a result, the second back case side sealing mounting portion 74a and the second front case side sealing mounting portion 74b cannot be moved relative to each other in the closing slide direction. Therefore, the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 are closed. Regulated in the locked state. Moreover, since the retaining engagement claw 123 is covered with the second back case side sealing mounting portion 74a, the engagement of the retaining engagement claw 123 is released from the outside and the closing sealing member 47 is removed. Therefore, the main board case 43 is in a closed sealed state in which sliding to the closed unlocked state is prevented from being unreleasable.

(C2) Mounting / Sealing of Main Board Case 43 to Mounting Base 36 for the Second Time Next, the main board case 43 is removed from the projection 165 (FIG. 7) on the back side thereof with a nipper or the like, and then the mounting base 36 is mounted. And is temporarily fixed by the upper and lower temporary fixing hooks 155 and 156. Then, the main board case 43 is slid with respect to the mounting base 36 in the second mounting locked state side, that is, in the left direction opposite to the first time. At this time, since the protrusion 165 corresponding to the slide restricting portion 164 has already been removed, the slide to the second mounting lock state side is not restricted.

  As a result, the engagement protrusion 80 on the main board case 43 side is engaged with the second attachment sealing engagement claw 158, and sliding to the attachment unlocked state side is restricted (FIG. 21). In addition, the engagement of the second mounting sealing engagement claw 158 cannot be released from the outside, and therefore the main board case 43 is prevented from sliding to the mounting unlocked state with respect to the mounting base 36 so as not to be released. The attached sealed state is obtained.

(D1) Removal of the Main Substrate Case 43 for the Second Time When removing the main substrate case 43 mounted as described above, the opening lid 79 is first placed in the first sealing mounting portion 73 using a tool such as a screwdriver. The opening lid 79 is removed and an opening 81 is formed (FIG. 22). Then, the second mounting sealing engagement claw 158 is pressed through the opening 81 to release the engagement with the engagement protrusion 80, and the main board case 43 is slid toward the mounting unlock state with respect to the mounting base 36. It is possible to remove from the mounting base 36.

(D2) Second opening of main board case 43 Subsequently, the connecting ribs 108a to 108d of the second front case side sealing mounting portion 74b are cut using a cutting tool such as a nipper, and the second front case side sealing is performed. The stop mounting portion 74b is removed from the front case body 42 together with the closing sealing member 47 (FIG. 23). Thereby, since the closed sealing state of the main substrate case 43 is released, the main substrate case 43 can be opened by sliding the back case body 41 toward the closed unlocked state with respect to the front case body 42. .

  As described above, in the slot machine of this embodiment, the back case body 41 and the front case body are fixed by detachably fixing the fixing portions 66a and 66b on both ends to the back case body 41 and the front case body 42, respectively. The first connecting means 49a that connects the door 42 in an openable and closable manner, and the fixing portions 66b and 66c on both ends are fixed to the front case body 42 and the closing sealing member 47 in a non-removable manner, respectively. And a second connecting means 49b for connecting the closing sealing member 47 and the closing sealing member 47 in a state where the sealing operation is possible. For example, a plurality of main substrate cases 43 in a closed sealing state are prepared. Even if the back case body 41, the front case body 42, and the closure sealing member 47 without any trace of unsealing are successfully taken out, the back case body 41, the front case body 42, and the closure sealing member 47 are Because it is attached to each other by connecting means 49a and the second connecting means 49b, in order to produce the main circuit board case 43 new combine them is necessary to cut first connecting means 49a, a second connecting means 49b. That is, even if a new main board case 43 is created by combining the back case body 41, the front case body 42, and the closing sealing member 47 taken out from the plurality of main board cases 43, the first connection means 49a and the second connection means 49a Even the state connected by the means 49b cannot be reproduced, and such illegal acts can be effectively prevented. Moreover, although the closing sealing member 47 is independent from the substrate case 43, it is possible to prevent the closing sealing member 47 from being lost before sealing.

  Further, since the first connecting means 49a and the second connecting means 49b are integrally provided as the connecting member 52, the number of parts can be reduced and the assembling work can be simplified.

  In addition, a sealing member holder 93 that holds the closing sealing member 47 before sealing the main substrate case 43 is provided in the substrate case 43, and the closing sealing member 47 is sealed in a state of being connected by the second connecting means 49b. Since it can be attached to and detached from the stop member holder 93, it can be transported and stored in an unsealed state efficiently and safely.

  The back case body 41 and the front case body 42 are configured to be relatively slidable between a closed lock state in which the fitted state is held and a closed unlock state in which the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 are not held in the closed lock state. A closed sealing state in which the closing sealing member 47 is mounted on the first sealing mounting portion 73 of a certain main board case 43 so that the closing sealing member 47 prevents the sliding toward the closed unlocked state from being unreleasable. Therefore, there is an advantage that it can be easily transported by temporarily assembling it in a closed locked state before sealing, while the back case body 41, the front case body 42, the closed sealing It is considered that other parts can be destroyed and opened without leaving any trace on the member 47 and the like, and therefore, the back case body 41, the front case body 42, and the closing sealing member 47 can be opened. 1 It is more effective in preventing fraud linked together by binding means 49a and the second connecting means 49b.

  As mentioned above, although embodiment of this invention was explained in full detail, this invention is not limited to these embodiment, A various change is possible in the range which does not deviate from the meaning of this invention. For example, although the first connecting means 49a and the second connecting means 49b are integrally formed in the embodiment, they may be independent parts. The second connecting means 49b may be formed so as to connect the back case body (back case body) 41 and the closing sealing member 47, or both the back case body 41 and the front case body 42 are closed and sealed. You may form so that the member 47 may be connected.

  The structure of the upper case body 41 and the second case body 42 and the sealing method by the closing sealing member 47 are arbitrary. For example, the upper case body 41 and the second case body 42 may be configured to be fitted from both the left and right sides or the upper and lower sides of the substrate 13. Also, a method for mounting and sealing the substrate case 43 to the main body case 2 and the like is arbitrary. Further, the connector cover 46, the seal cover 50, etc. are not essential components and may be omitted.

  The board case is not limited to the one that stores the main control board 13, and can be similarly applied to, for example, an effect board case that stores an effect control board, a payout board case that stores a payout control board, and the like. Furthermore, in the embodiment, an example in which the present invention is applied to a slot machine has been shown, but it goes without saying that the present invention can be similarly applied to various game machines such as a pachinko machine and an arrange ball machine.
