It is like that.

  Next, the structure regarding suppression of removal of main controller 162 other than the above-mentioned coupling piece 173 etc. is demonstrated. FIG. 14 is a rear view of the pachinko machine 10 partially enlarged. In FIG. 14, for convenience of explanation, only some harnesses are shown and other harnesses are omitted.

  The main controller 162 includes a plurality of connectors, and a harness 180 for electrically connecting to the payout controller 242 is connected to a predetermined connector 176 among them. A prize ball command or the like is output from the main controller 162 to the payout controller 242 via the harness 180. In this configuration, removal of the harness 180 from the connector 176 is suppressed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 15, the main connector 181 provided in the harness 180 has a connector body 182 made of synthetic resin. The connector body 182 is formed in a substantially rectangular parallelepiped shape, and locking pieces 183 are integrally formed on both side surfaces 182a. The locking piece 183 is formed in a thin plate shape, and extends obliquely outward toward the opposite bottom side with the bottom surface 182b side of the connector main body 182 as a base end. The locking piece 183 has a relatively high elasticity and functions as a leaf spring. Further, a protrusion 183 a that protrudes toward the side surface 182 a of the connector main body 182 is integrally formed at the tip of the locking piece 183.

  The connector 176 (hereinafter referred to as a receiving connector 176) provided in the main controller 162 is formed corresponding to the main connector 181. In other words, the connector housing portion 177 of the receiving connector 176 is formed with a stepped portion 177c so that the housing space is expanded at a midway position from the opening 177a toward the bottom surface 177b.

  Of the connector housing portion 177, the opening-side housing portion 178 closer to the opening 177a than the stepped portion 177c is in the initial state in which both the locking pieces 183 extend outward. It is smaller than the width dimension (the dimension in the left-right direction in FIG. 15) of the main connector 181 in some cases. However, the width dimension of the opening side accommodating portion 178 is larger than the width dimension of the main side connector 181 when both the locking pieces 183 are closed to the connector main body 182 side.

  Of the connector housing portion 177, the bottom housing portion 179 closer to the bottom surface 177b than the stepped portion 177c has the same width dimension as that of the main connector 181 in the initial state or slightly larger than the width dimension. It is getting bigger. Further, the height dimension (the vertical dimension in FIG. 15) of the bottom housing portion 179 is slightly larger than the height dimension from the bottom surface 182b of the main connector 181 to the tip of the locking piece 183 in the initial state. It is getting bigger. When the connection of the main connector 181 to the receiving connector 176 is completed, the bottom surface 182b of the main connector 181 is in contact with the bottom surface 177b of the connector housing portion 177.

  With the above configuration, when the main connector 181 is connected to the receiving connector 176, the main connector 181 is pushed into the opening 177a of the connector housing 177, and the locking piece 183 that has passed through the opening 177a while being elastically deformed. However, the elastic recovery is performed at the timing when the bottom surface 182b of the main connector 181 contacts the bottom surface 177b of the receiving connector 176. In such a state, the protrusion 183a of the locking piece 183 is located at a position facing the stepped portion 177c. Therefore, even if it is going to remove the main side connector 181 from the receiving connector 176, the protrusion 183a will contact | abut to the level | step-difference part 177c, and the movement to the anti-insertion direction of the main side connector 181 will be inhibited. Therefore, removal of the main side connector 181 is suppressed.

  Since the removal of the harness 180 from the main control device 162 is suppressed, the main control device 162 needs to be removed while the harness 180 is connected to the main control device 162. In this case, the passage forming plate 151 on which the main controller 162 is mounted is provided with a restraining unit 250 that suppresses the removal of the harness 180. Specifically, the passage forming plate 151 has an installation portion 157 in a region above the support shaft portion 165 for supporting the main controller unit 160.

FIG. 20 is a bottom view showing the configuration of the base block 251, and FIG. 20 is a cross-sectional view showing the configuration of the restraining unit 250.

  The restraint unit 250 includes a base block 251 formed of a synthetic resin having transparency such as polycarbonate. The base block 251 has a substantially rectangular parallelepiped base 252 and an upright part 253 formed by bending one end of the base 252 to the side facing the upper surface 252a of the base 252 as shown in FIG. In addition, the cross section is substantially L-shaped. A rib 254 having an arcuate inclined surface is integrally formed at a corner portion between the base portion 252 and the upright portion 253.

  As shown in FIG. 19A, a plurality of insertion holes 256 are formed in the base 252 with the upper surface 252a as one end. Specifically, four insertion holes 256 are formed. These insertion holes 256 are formed so as to penetrate the base portion 252 in the thickness direction, and are further arranged in parallel in the longitudinal direction of the base portion 252 at equal intervals.

  As shown in FIG. 19B, a plurality of guide grooves 257 are formed on the bottom surface 252b of the base portion 252 so as to correspond to the respective insertion holes 256 on a one-to-one basis. These guide grooves 257 extend straight in the short direction of the base portion 252 with the bottom opening of the corresponding insertion hole 256 as the base end, and as shown in FIG. 18, on the side of the base portion 252 where the standing portion 253 is provided. It is opened at the peripheral surface 252c (hereinafter, this opened portion is referred to as a guide outlet 258). Each combination of the insertion hole 256 and the guide groove 257 constitutes a band insertion portion, and one restraint band 261 is inserted into each of the band insertion portions.

  The restraining band 261 is a molded product of a synthetic resin such as polypropylene, and the band portion 262 as a base portion has a bendable elasticity. The material of the restraining band 261 is not limited to synthetic resin, and may be made of leather or the like as long as it can be cut with a tool such as a nipper in the band portion 262.

  As shown in FIG. 20 and the like, the restraining band 261 has a return portion 263 at one end. In the return portion 263, the corner portion 263 a that is the base end portion has a thickness dimension larger than that of the band portion 262. The return portion 263 extends along the belt surface of the belt portion 262, and has a lid portion 264 that is thicker than other portions at its tip, and is raised from the lid portion 264. The locking portion 265 is integrally formed. The locking portion 265 includes a connection base portion 265a extending in a direction substantially orthogonal to the return portion 263, and an elastic hook 265b formed so as to be folded back from the connection base portion 265a and having a free end at the tip.

  Each restraining band 261 is inserted into each band insertion portion of the base block 251 from the end opposite to the locking portion 265. Each restraining band 261 passes through the base block 251, and the side on which the locking portion 265 is formed protrudes to the outside of the base portion 252 through each insertion hole 256. A pull-in restricting piece 266 is integrally formed at a portion of the band portion 262 facing the lid portion 264 so as to protrude sideways. In addition, each insertion hole 256 corresponds to the width dimension of the portion of the band portion 262 where the pull-in restricting piece 266 is not formed. Accordingly, movement of each restraining band 261 in the insertion direction (movement toward a pulling end portion 267 described later) is prevented at a position where each pull-in restricting piece 266 hits the peripheral edge of each insertion hole 256.

  As shown in FIG. 18 and the like, the base portion 252 is integrally formed with an inclined portion 259 at the end opposite to the upright portion 253. The inclined portion 259 is formed along the longitudinal direction of the base portion 252 and is adjacent to all the insertion holes 256. In addition, the inclined portion 259 is formed to be inclined so as to be higher from the insertion hole 256 side toward the end portion of the base portion 252 with the upper surface 252a of the base portion 252 as a reference. By forming the inclined portion 259, each restraining band 261 is guided to extend obliquely outward from the insertion hole 256 with the upper surface 252a of the base portion 252 as a reference, as shown in FIG. .

  Each restraining band 261 is prevented from being detached from the base block 251 by a stopper 271 provided on the base block 251. As shown in FIG. 18, the stopper 271 is formed by bending a thin metal plate, and has a long base 272 having a long shape corresponding to the longitudinal dimension of the base block 251, and the length. A plurality of fitting protrusions 273 are formed to be bent so as to extend substantially perpendicularly from one side of the scale-shaped base 272. The long base 272 has wide portions 274 which are wide at both ends, and fitting protrusions 273 are provided at equal intervals between the wide portions 274.

  On the bottom surface 252b of the base portion 252 of the base block 251, as shown in FIG. 19 (b), an accommodation groove 281 is formed so that the guide grooves 257 communicate with each other at an intermediate position. As shown in c) and FIG. 20A, the stopper 271 is accommodated in the accommodation groove 281. Further, the base 252 is formed with respective fitting holes 282 so as to enter inside from the respective housing grooves 281, and the fitting protrusions 273 of the stoppers 271 are inserted into the respective fitting holes 282. . And the fitting part 273a formed in each fitting protrusion 273 and the fitting receiver 282a formed in each fitting hole 282 are fitted, and the fastener 271 is fixed to the base block 251.

  As shown in FIG. 18, a plurality of ratchet pieces 275 are integrally formed on the stopper 271 at regular intervals so as to sandwich the fitting protrusions 273 therebetween. The position of each ratchet piece 275 corresponds to each guide groove 257 formed in the base 252 of the base block 251 with one body 1. As shown in FIG. 20B, each ratchet piece 275 is inclined obliquely outward from one side where each fitting projection 273 is formed toward the guide outlet 258 side of the corresponding guide groove 257. Is formed. The ratchet piece 275 has a predetermined elasticity and functions as a leaf spring.

  Since the stopper 271 is attached to the base block 251, each ratchet piece 275 is in contact with the back surface of the corresponding restraint band 261. In this state, each ratchet piece 275 is pushed into each restraint band 261, and each restraint band 261 is biased toward the guide outlet 258 side of the guide groove 257 by the biasing force of each ratchet piece 275. . As a result, the portion of each restraining band 261 inserted into the base 252 from the insertion hole 256 is guided through the guide groove 257, and the opposite side of the locking portion 265 in each restraining band 261 is straight out from the guide outlet 258. It protrudes toward. That is, each restraining band 261 is held in a bent state in the middle of the base block 251. In addition, as shown in FIG. 20 (b), the portion of the base 252 that leads from the insertion hole 256 to the corresponding guide groove 257 is an inner inclined portion 283 that is inclined toward the guide groove 257 side. The load on the bent portion of the restraining band 261 is reduced.

  Further, since the ratchet piece 275 is formed as described above, even if the restraining band 261 is pulled in the counter-insertion direction (the locking portion 265 side), it is blocked by the ratchet piece 275. That is, the restraining band 261 is biased in the guide outlet 258 side of the guide groove 257, that is, in the insertion direction when the tip of the ratchet piece 275 hits the back surface. The leading end of the ratchet piece 275 bites into 262 and is prevented from moving in the reverse insertion direction. However, the movement of the restraining band 261 in the insertion direction is not blocked by the ratchet piece 275. This is because the movement in the insertion direction is movement in the direction urged by the ratchet piece 275, and the tip of the ratchet piece 275 does not bite into the band portion 262 of the restraining band 261. This movement in the insertion direction is prevented when the pull-in restricting piece 266 of the restraining band 261 hits the peripheral edge of the insertion hole 256. Incidentally, the tensile end portion 267 which is the end portion on the opposite side to the locking portion 265 side of each restraining band 261 is made thicker than the band portion 262, and further at a portion adjacent to the tensile end portion 267 in the band portion 262. The ridges 268 along the width direction are formed on the front and back sides. These pulling end portions 267 and ridges 268 constitute anti-slip means for pulling the restraining band 261 in the insertion direction.

  Here, the assembly procedure of the restraint unit 250 having the above-described configuration will be described. When assembling the restraint unit 250, first, each restraint band 261 is inserted into each insertion hole 256 of the base block 251 from the tension end portion 267 side, and each restraint along the inner inclined portion 283 formed on the base portion 252. When the band 261 is bent, the protrusions 268 are positioned outward from the guide outlet 258. Next, while holding the bent state, the stopper 271 is inserted from the bottom surface 252 b side of the base 252, and the fitting protrusion 273 of the stopper 271 is fitted into each fitting hole 282. As a result, the stopper 271 is fixed to the base block 251 while being accommodated in the accommodation groove 281 of the base 252. In such a state, the bending state of each restraining band 261 is held by the stopper 271 and the state shown in FIG.

  In the restraining unit 250, the restraint of the wiring or the like can be performed based on the latching portion 265 of the restraining band 261 being latched to the base block 251. Therefore, the configuration of the constraint will be described with reference to FIG.

  A plurality of locking holes 284 are formed in the standing portion 253 of the base block 251 so as to penetrate in the height direction. Each locking hole 284 is formed at equal intervals in the longitudinal direction of the upright portion 253, and the interval corresponds to the arrangement interval of the guide grooves 257 formed on the bottom surface 252 b of the base portion 252. Each locking hole 284 communicates with a corresponding guide groove 257.

  Each locking hole 284 has an opening size into which the locking portion 265 of the corresponding restraining band 261 can be inserted. The opening size is a size when the elastic hook 265b is in a natural state, and a size of the lid portion 264. It corresponds to the dimension. Each locking hole 284 is integrally formed with a locking projection 284a for locking the elastic hook 265b at an intermediate position in the penetrating direction.

  When restraining wiring or the like by the restraining unit 250, the band portion 262 of the restraining band 261 is bent to bring the locking portion 265 to the locking hole 284 side of the base block 251. At this time, the restraining band 261 extends obliquely outward from the insertion hole 256 with respect to the upper surface 252a of the base portion 252 by the inclined portion 259 of the base block 251, so that the belt portion 262 of the restraining band 261 is easily bent. . Further, when bending the band portion 262 of the restraining band 261, the return portion 263 of the restraining band 261 can be used as a knob, and it is easy to perform the work.

  Thereafter, when the locking portion 265 is inserted into the locking hole 284 more than a predetermined depth (depth at which the elastic hook 265b abuts the locking projection 284a), the elastic hook 265b is elastically deformed from the locking projection 284a. As shown in FIG. 21 (b), the elastic hook 265b is locked to the locking projection 284a even if it is intended to remove the locking portion 265 from the locking hole 284 as shown in FIG. . Thereby, the part over the insertion part from the latching | locking part 265 of the restraint band 261 to the penetration hole 256 and the base block 251 cooperate, and the restraint annular part R is formed. In this state, since the upper surface open side of the locking hole 284 is closed by the lid portion 264 of the binding band 261, a wire or the like is inserted into the locking hole 284, and the elastic hook 265b is locked to the locking projection 284a. Even if you try to release it, it is difficult.

  When the pulling end 267 of the restraining band 261 is pulled in a state where the restraining annular portion R is formed as described above, the restraining annular portion R is reduced as shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. Here, a plurality of restricting projections 285 are integrally formed on the upper surface of the standing portion 253 of the base block 251 as shown in FIG. These restricting projections 285 are provided at equal intervals along the longitudinal direction of the upright portion 253, and the interval corresponds to the opening width of the locking hole 284. These restricting projections 285 are located on both sides of the belt portion 262 at the center side of the pull-in restricting piece 266 in the belt portion 262 of the restraining band 261 in a state where the restraining annular portion R is formed. Therefore, the force for pulling the pulling end portion 267 of the restraining band 261 to reduce the restraining annular portion R is received by the restricting projections 285 in contact with the pulling restricting piece 266 and hardly acts on the locking portion 265. ing. Therefore, it is prevented that the pulling force reaches the locking portion 265 and the locking portion 265 is deformed or broken.

  When the constraining annular portion R is reduced, the wiring or the like that passes through the constraining annular portion R is constrained by the constraining unit 250. At this time, since the ratchet piece 275 is provided as described above, the restraint band 261 is allowed to move in the direction in which the restraint annular portion R is contracted (the insertion direction), but the reverse, that is, the restraint annular portion R is The restraint band 261 is prevented from moving in the expanding direction (the reverse insertion direction). Therefore, once the constrained annular portion R once contracted cannot be expanded again, the constrained state cannot be loosened once the wiring or the like is constrained.

  The restraint unit 250 described above is attached to the installation portion 157 of the passage forming plate 151 as described above. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 17A and the like, a pair of flange portions 286 are integrally formed on the base portion 252 of the base block 251 constituting the restraining unit 250 so as to protrude from the bottom surface 252b. The flange portions 286 are provided at both ends of the base portion 252 in the longitudinal direction, respectively, a connecting base portion 286a extending from the base portion 252, and an elastic hook 286b formed so as to be folded from the connecting base portion 286a and having a free end at the tip. have. Each flange portion 286 is formed inward so that the elastic hooks 286b face each other. Corresponding to these flange portions 286, as shown in FIG. 22 for explaining the attachment state of the restraining unit 250, the installation portion 157 has a flange hole 157b. Each of the flange holes 157b has an opening size slightly smaller than that when the elastic hook 286b is in a natural state.

  When the restraint unit 250 is attached to the installation portion 157, the flange portion 286 is pushed into the flange hole 157b, and the elastic hook 286b that has passed through the flange hole 157b is elastically deformed while being elastically deformed. The back surface 157c of 157 is abutted and locked. Thereby, the restraint unit 250 is attached to the installation part 157, and the removal thereof is further suppressed. This is because the tip of the elastic hook 286b is caught on the back surface 157c of the installation portion 157 even if it is to be removed, and movement in the removal direction is prevented. Instead of the configuration in which the distal end portion of the elastic hook 286b abuts on the back surface 157c of the installation portion 157, the distal end portion may substantially abut (close) to the back surface 157c of the installation portion 157.

  Incidentally, in order to facilitate the mounting operation of the restraining unit 250, a positioning pin 287 is integrally formed on the base 252 of the restraining unit 250 as shown in FIG. The installation portion 157 has a positioning hole.

  As described above, the installation portion 157 has a box shape opened to one side, but the opening portion 157 a is closed by the game board 81. That is, a hand or a wire cannot be inserted into the back surface 157c of the installation portion 157. Therefore, an act of removing the restraining unit 250 by elastically deforming the elastic hook 286b from the back surface 157c side of the installation portion 157 is suppressed. Furthermore, a gap is formed between the flange hole 157b and the flange portion 286, but the gap is closed by the wide portion 274 of the stopper 271 as shown in FIG. With this configuration, the wide portion 274 functions as a closing portion. Thereby, the action which inserts a wire etc. from the clearance gap between the hole 157b for collars, and the hook part 286, elastically deforms the elastic hook 286b, and tries to remove the restraint unit 250 is suppressed. In particular, the base portion 252 is formed with a through hole 288 formed through a part of the mold (portion for forming the flange portion 286) during molding, and the through hole 288 remains open. If there is, the inside of the installation part 157 communicates from the upper surface 252 a of the base part 252, but it is closed by the wide part 274.

  Since the restraining unit 250 is attached to the installation portion 157, the bottom surface 252c of the base 252 abuts the surface 157d of the installation portion 157, and the stopper 271 of the restraining unit 250 is encapsulated in the base block 251 and the installation portion 157. Is done. Therefore, in order to remove the stopper 271 from the base block 251, it is necessary to remove the restraining unit 250 from the installation portion 157, and the removal is suppressed as described above. Therefore, the removal of the stopper 271 from the base block 251 is suppressed. The stopper 271 is in close contact with the surface of the installation portion 157 (see FIG. 21B). Thereby, when the restraint band 261 forming the restraint annular portion R is pulled in the direction of loosening the restraint state, the pulling force is received by the installation portion 157 through the stopper 271. Therefore, even if a large force is applied to the stopper fitting 271 so as to loosen the restraint state, the occurrence of inconvenience that the stopper fitting 271 is detached from the base block 251 is suppressed.

  The restraint unit 250 is held by the base block 251 with each restraint band 261 bent as described above. However, when the restraint unit 250 is attached to the installation portion 157, the restraint band 261 is locked. The portion 265 side extends in a direction away from the surface 157 d of the installation portion 157, and the tension end 267 side extends in a direction along the surface 157 d of the installation portion 157. Further, the tension end portion 267 side extends toward the edge portion on the rotating front end side of the main body frame 13.

  The restraint unit 250 described above restrains the harness 180 connected to the main controller 162 as shown in FIG. Here, the restraining work of the harness 180 will be described with reference to FIG. In addition, the connection operation | work to the main control apparatus 162 and the payout control apparatus 242 of the harness 180 is demonstrated according to description of the said restraint work.

  First, the harness 180 is connected to the main controller 162. Thereby, the removal of the harness 180 from the main controller 162 is suppressed as described above. Thereafter, the harness 180 passes through the through space 168 of the mount 161 on the back side of the main control device 162 from the bottom to the top. Then, the part of the harness 180 led upward from the through space 168 is placed on the base 252 of the base block 251 as shown in FIG. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 23B, any one of the restraining bands 261 is bent and the locking portion 265 of the restraining band 261 is inserted into the locking hole 284 of the base block 251. As a result, a constraining annular portion R is formed.

  Thereafter, by pulling the pulling end portion 267 of the restraining band 261, the restraining annular portion R is reduced as shown in FIG. 23C, and the harness 180 is restrained by the restraining unit 250. Thereby, removal of the harness 180 from the channel | path formation board 151, ie, the game board 81 (the main body frame 13 or the pachinko machine 10), is suppressed. Since the harness 180 is suppressed from being removed from the main control device 162 as described above, the removal of the main control device 162 from the game board 81 is suppressed. The restraint unit 250 restrains the harness 180 not only in a state in which the restraint annular portion R is reduced to such an extent that the harness 180 cannot be slid, but also the harness 180 can be slid. This includes a state where the constraining annular portion R is reduced to such an extent that the connector on the payout control device 242 side cannot pass through.

  Thereafter, the harness 180 is passed through the through space 168 of the mounting base 161 from the top to the bottom, and the end portion led out from the through space 168 is connected to the connector 291 provided in the payout control device 242 (see FIG. 14). . Thereby, the connection work of the harness 180 is completed. It should be noted that the removal of the harness 180 from the connector 291 of the payout control device 242 is not suppressed and can be detached.

  In the above configuration, when the main controller 162 is removed, it is necessary to release the restraint state of the harness 180 in the restraint unit 250. In this case, in order to perform such release, the restraint band 261 forming the restraint annular portion R must be cut. However, no matter how the restraining band 261 is cut, the state in which the locking portion 265 is locked in the locking hole 284 cannot be released, and as shown in FIG. The portion 265 remains on the base block 251 side. Therefore, when an illegal act of removing the main control device 162 such as an illegal exchange of the main control device 162 is performed, the trace remains, so that it is possible to grasp that the illegal activity has been performed.

  In addition, the restraint unit 250 is covered with the back pack 201 on the back side of the pachinko machine 10, but as described above, the back pack 201 has transparency, so that it is outside in the pachinko machine 10 installed in a game hall or the like. The restraint unit 250 can be visually recognized only by opening the main body frame 13 with respect to the frame 11 and opening the back portion of the pachinko machine 10 toward the front side. Further, the restraining unit 250 is arranged along the end of the main body frame 13 on the rotating front end side on the back side of the main body frame 13. Accordingly, the restraining unit 250 can be visually recognized from the side of the main body frame 13 on the rotating front end side, and it is not necessary to open the main body frame 13 greatly when the restraining unit 250 is confirmed. Further, when the main body frame 13 is greatly opened, the restraining unit 250 can be largely pulled toward the front side. Therefore, the workability in the case of confirming the state of the restraining unit 250 is improved.

  On the other hand, the main control device 162 may be removed even when it is unrelated to illegal activities such as maintenance and inspection work of the pachinko machine 10 in a game hall or the like, and the restraining band 261 is cut off at the time of the removal. In this case, the harness 180 can be brought into a restrained state again using the restraining band 261 that has not been used yet after the maintenance and inspection work. Such maintenance and inspection work can be performed by the number of restraint bands 261. Here, when cutting the restraint band 261 in the maintenance inspection work or the like, the harness 180 can be reliably prevented from being damaged in the cutting work by cutting the return portion 263 of the restraint band 261. In addition, you may provide the constraint recording table | surface for recording that the restraint work was implemented in each restraint band 261. FIG. In the restraint record table, for each restraint band 261, the date of restraint work and the name of the restraint worker are recorded.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the pachinko machine 10 will be described based on the block diagram of FIG. In FIG. 24, a power supply line is indicated by a double line arrow, and a signal line is indicated by a solid line arrow.

  A main control board 301 provided in the main controller 162 incorporates a main control circuit 302 and a power failure monitoring circuit 303. The main control circuit 302 is equipped with a CPU 311. The CPU 311 includes a ROM 312 that stores various control programs executed by the CPU 311 and fixed value data, and a memory that temporarily stores various data when the control program stored in the ROM 312 is executed. A certain RAM 313 and various circuits such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, and a data input / output circuit are incorporated.

  The RAM 313 is configured to retain data by supplying data storage holding power from the power supply and launch control board 321 provided in the power supply and launch control device 243 even after the pachinko machine 10 is powered off.

  An input / output port is connected to the CPU 311 via a bus line including an address bus and a data bus. Connected to the input side of the main control circuit 302 are a power failure monitoring circuit 303 provided on the main control board 301, a payout control board 322 provided on the payout control device 242, and a switch group (not shown). In this case, a power supply and launch control board 321 is connected to the power failure monitoring circuit 303, and power is supplied to the main control circuit 302 via the power failure monitoring circuit 303.

  On the other hand, a power failure monitoring circuit 303, a payout control board 322, and a relay terminal board 323 are connected to the output side of the main control circuit 302. Various commands such as a prize ball command are output to the payout control board 322. Various commands and the like are output from the main control circuit 302 to the sound lamp control board 324 provided in the sound lamp control device 143 via the relay terminal plate 323.

  Here, the CPU 311 makes a ball entry determination at the general winning port 82, the variable winning device 83, and the operating port 84 based on detection signals from the winning port switch 152, the count switch 153, and the operating port switch 154, and the determination. As a result, when it is determined that the game ball has entered in any of the cases, a prize ball command is output to the payout control device 242 so as to pay out the game ball from the payout device 224. In addition, the CPU 311 performs a determination of whether or not a game ball has entered the operation port 84 based on a detection signal from the operation port switch 154, and determines that the result of the determination is a win. The game state is shifted from the normal game state to the special game state (big hit state). By shifting to the big hit state, opening / closing control of the variable winning device 83 is performed, and a large amount of game balls are paid out to the player based on the opening / closing control. Incidentally, the determination result is displayed on the symbol display device 91 via the sound lamp control board 324 and the like and also on the first specific lamp unit 93.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 303 relays between the main control circuit 302 and the power source and launch control board 321, and monitors the DC stable 24 volt power source that is the maximum power source output from the power source and launch control board 321.

  The payout control board 322 performs payout control of prize balls and rental balls by the payout device 224. The CPU 331 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 332 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 331, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 333 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  Similar to the RAM 313 of the main control circuit 302, the RAM 333 of the payout control board 322 is configured to retain data by supplying the data storage holding power from the power supply and the launch control board 321 even after the power of the pachinko machine 10 is shut off. It has become.

  An input / output port is connected to the CPU 331 of the payout control board 322 via a bus line including an address bus and a data bus. A main control circuit 302, a power and launch control board 321, and a backpack board 229 are connected to the input side of the payout control board 322. The CPU 331 controls the payout device 224 to pay out a predetermined number of game balls based on the prize ball command input from the main control circuit 302. Further, the main control circuit 302 and the back pack substrate 229 are connected to the output side of the payout control substrate 322.

  The power supply and launch control board 321 includes a power supply unit and a launch control unit. The power supply unit supplies necessary operating power to the main control circuit 302, the payout control board 322, and the like through a path indicated by a double line arrow. The launch control unit is responsible for launch control of the game ball launch mechanism 110 according to the operation of the game ball launch handle 41 by the player, and the game ball launch mechanism 110 is driven when predetermined launch conditions are met. .

  The sound lamp control board 324 controls the various lamp units 23 to 25, the speaker unit 26, and the display control device 325. The CPU 341 that is an arithmetic unit includes a ROM 342 that stores a control program executed by the CPU 341, fixed value data, and the like, and a RAM 343 that is used as a work memory or the like.

  An input / output port is connected to the CPU 341 of the sound lamp control board 324 via a bus line including an address bus and a data bus. The main control circuit 302 is connected to the input side of the sound lamp control board 324 by relaying to the relay terminal plate 323. Based on various commands output from the main control circuit 302, various lamp units 23 to 25, speakers The unit 26 and the display control device 325 are controlled. The display control device 325 controls the symbol display device 91 based on a display command input from the sound lamp control board 324.

  According to the first embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects are obtained.

  The receiving connector 176 of the main controller 162 is provided with a stepped portion 177 c in the connector housing portion 177, and a locking piece 183 is provided in the main side connector 181 of the harness 180 connected to the receiving connector 176. Thereby, when removing the main controller 162, it is necessary to remove the harness 180 in a connected state. In addition, the restraint unit 250 is attached to the installation portion 157 separated from the main control device 162, and the harness 180 is restrained by the restraint unit 250. Furthermore, removal of the restraint unit 250 from the installation part 157 was suppressed. Accordingly, in order to remove the main control device 162, it is necessary to release the restrained state of the harness 180 by the restraining unit 250, and this work is troublesome. Therefore, unauthorized removal of the main controller 162 can be suppressed. Then, by preventing unauthorized removal of the main control device 162, for example, unauthorized replacement of the main control device 162 can be suppressed.

  The restraining unit 250 includes a base block 251, a restraining band 261, and a fastener 271. When the harness 180 is restrained, the restraining annular portion R is formed by latching the latching portion 265 of the restraining band 261 with the latching hole 284 of the base block 251, and in this state, the tensile end of the restraining band 261 is formed. By pulling the portion 267, the restraint annular portion R is reduced and the harness 180 is restrained. Further, the provision of the stopper 271 prevents the restraint annular portion R from being loosened. Further, the locking portion 265 of the restraining band 261 is locked to the locking hole 284 in a state where it is difficult to pull out. With the above configuration, when the restraint state of the harness 180 is released, the restraint band 261 must be cut, and when the restraint band 261 is cut, the latching portion 265 is latched in the latch hole 284 in a state where it is difficult to pull out. Therefore, a part of the restraining band 261 is held on the base block 251 side. Thereby, the trace remains when the restraint state is released. Therefore, it is possible to confirm whether or not the main controller 162 has been illegally removed by confirming the restraint unit 250.

  A plurality of restraining bands 261 are provided. As a result, even if the main controller 162 is once removed when it is not during an illegal act such as maintenance and inspection work, the harness 180 can be brought into a restrained state again after the maintenance and inspection work. Therefore, it has both crime prevention and convenience.

  The function of the reverse movement prevention means for preventing the restraint annular portion R from being loosened is provided by attaching a stopper 271 to the base block 251 instead of being provided as a part of the base block 251. For example, the function of the reverse movement blocking means can be provided as a part of the base block 251. However, since the base block 251 is made of synthetic resin, the base block 251 is large in order to increase the strength of the reverse movement blocking means. There is a risk of becoming. On the other hand, the base block 251 can be miniaturized by adopting the combination structure of the base block 251 and the stopper 271 as described above.

  The stopper 271 is attached to the base 252 of the base block 251 from the bottom surface 252b side, and the movement in the removal direction is restricted by the fitting of the fitting protrusion 273 and the fitting hole 282. That is, the stopper 271 is externally attached to the base block 251. For example, the fastener 271 can be integrated with the base block 251 by insert molding, but the structure of the molding die for the base block 251 is more externally attached to the base block 251. There are advantages such as no complication.

  The stopper 271 was accommodated in the accommodation groove 281 of the base block 251 and the accommodation groove 281 was closed by the installation portion 157. As a result, since the stopper 271 is encapsulated by the base block 251 and the installation part 157, it is necessary to remove the base block 251 from the installation part 157 in order to remove the stopper 271 from the base block 251. Removal from the installation portion 157 is suppressed. Therefore, the act of removing the stopper 271 from the base block 251 in order to loosen the constraining annular portion R can be suppressed.

  The stopper 271 was brought into contact with the surface 157d of the installation portion 157. As a result, when the restraint band 261 is prevented from moving in the direction of loosening the restraint annular portion R, the load applied to the stopper 271 is received by the installation portion 157. Thereby, even if the restraint band 261 is pulled in the direction of loosening the restraint annular portion R, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of inconvenience that the stopper 271 is detached from the base block 251.

  Since the locking portion 265 side and the tensile end portion 267 side of the portion of the restraining band 261 protruding from the base block 251 extend in different directions, both end portions of the locking portion 265 side and the tensile end portion 267 side Can be easily picked up. Thus, it becomes easy to perform the operation | work which forms the constraining annular part R by making it easy to pinch both ends. In such a configuration, the stopper 271 guides the locking portion 265 side and the tension end portion 267 side of the restraining band 261 to extend in different directions. In other words, the stopper 271 can be used as a configuration for facilitating the work of forming the constraining annular portion R, and the above effect can be achieved while simplifying the configuration.

  The base block 251 is provided with an inclined portion 259 so that the portion on the locking portion 265 side that protrudes from the insertion hole 256 is guided in a direction in which the locking portion 265 is separated from the installation portion 157. Thereby, the space | interval of the installation part 157 and the edge part by the side of the latching | locking part 265 of the restraint band 261 can be enlarged, and it becomes easy to pinch the edge part. Therefore, it becomes easy to perform the operation of inserting the locking portion 265 into the locking hole 284 to form the constraining annular portion R.

  By inserting the flange portion 286 formed on the base block 251 into the flange hole 157b of the installation portion 157, the tip of the flange portion 286 comes into contact with the back surface 157c of the installation portion 157 and the base block 251 is detached from the installation portion 157. The movement of the direction was regulated so that it was difficult to release. Thereby, by attaching the base block 251 to the installation part 157, removal of the base block 251 (restraint unit 250) from the installation part 157 is suppressed naturally. In such a configuration, the clasp 271 closes the gap between the flange portion 286 and the flange hole 157b so as to prevent foreign matter from entering the back surface 157c of the installation portion 157. As a result, the act of inserting a wire or the like from the gap between the collar 286 and the collar hole 157b and releasing the contact state between the tip of the collar 286 and the back surface 157c of the installation section 157 is suppressed. . Further, according to this configuration, the stopper 271 can be used as a configuration that suppresses the act of releasing the contact state, and the above-described effects can be achieved while simplifying the configuration.

(Second Embodiment)
In the present embodiment, the configuration of the restraining unit 250 is different from that of the first embodiment. Therefore, the configuration according to the following will be described in detail with reference to FIGS. 25 and 26. FIG. FIG. 25 is a perspective view of the restraining unit 250 in the present embodiment, and FIG. 26 is a cross-sectional view of the restraining unit 250. In FIGS. 25 and 26, the same components as those in the first embodiment are denoted by the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is basically omitted.

  The restraint unit 250 includes a base block 251, a plurality of restraint bands 261, and a fastener 271 as in the first embodiment. Of these configurations, the restraining band 261 does not have a return portion unlike the first embodiment, and a locking portion 265 is formed at one end of the restraining band 261. Further, the restraining band 261 has no pull-in restricting piece on the locking portion 265 side, and the restraining band 261 has no protrusion 268 on the tension end portion 267 side. Further, the configuration of the back surface of the restraining band 261 is different from that of the first embodiment.

  Specifically, as shown in FIG. 26, a concave portion 351 is formed on the back surface (the surface facing the stopper 271) of the intermediate portion of the restraining band 261. The concave portion 351 is a fastener when the restraining band 261 is arranged so that the length of the portion on the locking portion 265 side that protrudes outside the base block 251 and the length of the portion on the tensile end portion 267 side are substantially the same. 271 is formed so as to include a region facing the ratchet piece 275 of 271. When performing the operation of attaching the stopper 271 to the base block 251, the force for pushing the stopper 271 is greatly reduced by arranging the tip of the ratchet piece 275 in the recess 351. It can be done well. Incidentally, the ratchet piece 275 does not block the movement of the restraining band 261 in a range where the ratchet piece 275 is in the recess 351.

  In addition, a ratchet receiving portion 352 is formed on the back surface of the restraining band 261 on the locking portion 265 side with respect to the recessed portion 351. The ratchet receiving portion 352 is provided with a plurality of teeth 353 arranged in the longitudinal direction of the restraining belt 261. Each tooth 353 does not lock the ratchet piece 275 when the restraining band 261 moves toward the tension end 267 side, but is formed so as to lock the ratchet piece 275 when moving in the opposite direction. Specifically, each tooth 353 includes a stopper surface 353a extending in a planar shape in the thickness direction of the restraining belt 261, and a flank surface 353b extending in a curved shape from the tip of the stopper surface 353a toward the tension end portion 267. ing. Since the ratchet receiving portion 352 is formed as described above, the movement of the restraining band 261 toward the locking portion 265 can be more reliably prevented than in the first embodiment.

  Unlike the first embodiment, the base block 251 of the present embodiment is not provided with the regulation protrusion 285. Further, unlike the flange portion 286 in the first embodiment, the flange portion 354 has an elastic hook 354a facing outward.

  According to the second embodiment described in detail above, the following excellent effects can be obtained.

  Since the concave portion 351 is formed on the back surface of the restraining band 261, when the work of attaching the stopper 271 to the base block 251 is performed, the tip of the ratchet piece 275 is disposed in the concave portion 351, thereby The force for pushing the metal fitting 271 is greatly reduced, and this work can be performed satisfactorily.

  In addition, since the ratchet receiving portion 352 is formed on the back surface of the restraining band 261, the restraint band 261 can be more reliably prevented from moving toward the locking portion 265 than in the first embodiment. As a result, the act of loosening the restraint ring portion R can be prevented more reliably than in the first embodiment.

  The second embodiment has the same or similar configuration as the characteristic configuration in the first embodiment, and the effect based on this configuration is the same in the second embodiment. To play.

(Other embodiments)
In addition, it is not limited to the description content of each embodiment mentioned above, For example, you may implement as follows.

  (1) A modification of the restraining unit is shown in FIG. FIG. 27A is a plan view of the restraining unit 370 attached to the installation portion 361, and FIG. 27B is a front view of the restraining unit 370 attached to the installation portion 361.

  The restraining unit 370 includes a base block 371 having a box shape opened to one side. In the state where the restraining unit 370 is attached to the installation part 361, the opening part of the base block 371 is blocked by the installation part 361. The base block 371 (restraint unit 370) is fixed to the installation part 361 by a one-way screw 372, and the removal of the base block 371 from the installation part 361 is suppressed.

  A plurality of pairs of through holes 374 penetrating inward and outward are formed in the base 373 of the base block 371. The harness 376 is restrained by inserting a restraining piece 375 into the pair of through holes 374 from the surface 373 a side of the base 373. Specifically, the restraining piece 375 is formed of a synthetic resin in a U-shaped cross section, and the cross-sectional dimension of each leg portion 377 of the restraining piece 375 corresponds to the opening dimension of the through hole 374. Therefore, each leg 377 of the restraining piece 375 can be inserted into the pair of through holes 374. Further, a fastening member 379 having a ratchet piece 379a is fixed to the back surface 373b of the base portion 373 of the base block 371 so as to correspond to each through hole 374 on a one-to-one basis. The ratchet piece 379a allows the movement of the leg portion 377 in the insertion direction, but prevents the movement in the opposite direction (that is, the drawing direction).

  Due to the above configuration, by pushing the restraint piece 375 with the harness 376 sandwiched between the restraint piece 375 and the base 373, the harness 376 is brought into the restraint state as shown in FIG. Become. Since the ratchet piece 379a prevents the restraint piece 375 from moving in the pulling direction, the restraint piece 375 needs to be broken to release the restraint state of the harness 376. Thereby, removal of the harness 376 is suppressed. Further, when the harness 376 is removed, the restraint piece 375 is destroyed and the trace remains, so that the fact can be grasped.

  (2) In each of the above embodiments, the restraint unit 250 is configured to form the restraint annular portion R by the base block 251 and the restraint band 261. However, the base block 251 holds the restraint band 261 in a state where it is difficult to remove. It is good also as a structure which does not contribute to formation of restraint annular part R only. Specifically, a locking portion is provided at one end of the restraining band, a locking receiving portion is provided at the other end, and the locking receiving portion is locked to the locking receiving portion so that the restraining band becomes an annular shape. It is good also as a structure formed. This locking receiving portion has a ratchet function, and even when the locking receiving portion is locked to the locking portion, the locking portion can be pulled in the insertion direction, thereby reducing the constraining annular portion. Thus, the harness can be restrained and the restrained annular portion can be prevented from being loosened.

  (3) In each of the above embodiments, the stopper 271 is attached to the base block 250 to provide a function as a reverse movement prevention means. However, as a part of the base block 250, the function as the reverse movement prevention means is provided. It is good also as a structure to have. In this configuration, the number of members can be reduced with respect to the restraining unit 250 as compared to the above embodiments.

  (4) In each of the above embodiments, a movement restricting means for restricting the movement of the unused restraining belt 261 toward the tension end 267 may be provided. Regardless of whether or not the restraint annular portion R is formed, the restraining belt 261 is prevented from returning to its original position by the ratchet piece 275 when pulled to the tension end portion 267 side. In such a configuration, if the unused restraining belt 261 is pulled toward the pulling end portion 267 due to carelessness, the restraining belt 261 may not be used. On the other hand, the occurrence of the inconvenience can be suppressed by providing the movement restricting means.

  Specifically, as the movement restricting means, for example, a protrusion is provided on the restraining belt 261, and a restricting member that receives the protrusion so as to prevent the restraining belt 261 at the initial position from moving toward the tension end portion 267 is used as the base block 251. Attach to. And the regulation member is made detachable. Thereby, about the unused restraint belt 261, a regulating member can be attached to the base block 251 and the movement to the tension | pulling end part 267 side can be prevented.

  (5) In each of the above embodiments, as the first suppressing means for suppressing the removal of the harness 180 from the main controller 162, the stepped portion 177c is formed in the connector housing portion 177 of the receiving connector 176, and the main Although the locking piece 183 is formed on the side connector 181, this may be changed. For example, the receiving connector 176 and the main connector 181 may be configured to be detachable, and instead may be configured to provide a caulking structure as the first suppressing means. Specifically, as the configuration, a cover is provided so as to cover both connectors 176 and 181 in the connected state, and the cover is fixed to the main control board 301 or the board box 171 in a state where it is difficult to remove. As this fixed configuration, for example, a one-way screw or a press-fit pin can be considered. In this case, in order to remove the harness 180 from the main controller 162, it is necessary to destroy the cover, which is troublesome and the removal is suppressed. Even if it is removed, the fact can be grasped by confirming that the cover is broken.

  Moreover, it is good also as a structure which affixes what is called a sealing seal as a 1st suppression means. A seal seal refers to a seal that remains on a sticking object when a colored adhesive layer is peeled off. By sticking the seal seal across the boundary between the connectors 176 and 181 in the connected state, it is necessary to remove the seal seal in order to remove the harness 180 from the main controller 162. In this case, since it is difficult to peel off the seal seal so that the trace does not remain, it becomes troublesome and the removal is suppressed. Moreover, even if it is removed, the fact can be grasped by confirming the trace of the seal seal being peeled off.
