以下、本発明を具体化した実施形態のパチンコ機を図面に基づき詳細に説明する。なお本実施形態において「左」又は「右」とは、パチンコ機の表側(前面側)から見たときの「左」又は「右」を示すものとする。   Hereinafter, a pachinko machine according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. In this embodiment, “left” or “right” indicates “left” or “right” when viewed from the front side (front side) of the pachinko machine.

実施形態のパチンコ機Pは、図1,図2に示す様に、外枠Aの開口前面側に中枠Bが着脱及び開閉可能に組付けられ、この中枠Bの前面側に遊技盤Dが着脱及び開閉可能に組み付けられ、この遊技盤Dの前面を透視保護する前枠(ガラス扉。図示略。)が中枠Bに対して開閉可能に取り付けられた一般的なものである。なお、中枠Bの前面側下部には、上部球受け皿E、下部球受け皿F及び発射ハンドルGが取り付けられる。   As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, the pachinko machine P according to the embodiment has a middle frame B attached to the front side of the opening of the outer frame A so as to be detachable and openable, and a game board D on the front side of the middle frame B. The front frame (glass door, not shown) for seeing through and protecting the front surface of the game board D is attached to the middle frame B so as to be openable and closable. Note that an upper ball tray E, a lower ball tray F, and a firing handle G are attached to the lower part of the front side of the middle frame B.

中枠Bの左側面枠部BL には、遊技盤Dの左辺DL を回動可能に保持する保持具Jが取り付けられている。この保持具Jは、L字状の金具を中枠Bの左側面枠部BL に対して回動可能に取り付けたもので、遊技盤Dを、その左辺DL 及び前面DF に当接した状態で保持する。   A holder J for rotatably holding the left side DL of the game board D is attached to the left side frame portion BL of the middle frame B. This holding jig J is an L-shaped metal fitting that is pivotably attached to the left side frame portion BL of the middle frame B. The game board D is in contact with its left side DL and front surface DF. Hold.

中枠Bの右側面枠部BR には、保持具Jによって左辺DL を保持された遊技盤Dを中枠Bに向かって回動したときに右辺DR の側を固定支持する固定装置Hも取り付けられている。この固定装置Hは、遊技盤Dの右上角部DR1及び右下角部DR2を前面から押圧固定する回動操作部材H1を備えている。   Also attached to the right side frame portion BR of the middle frame B is a fixing device H for fixing and supporting the right side DR side when the game board D held by the holder J is rotated toward the middle frame B. It has been. The fixing device H includes a rotation operation member H1 that presses and fixes the upper right corner portion DR1 and the lower right corner portion DR2 of the game board D from the front surface.

また、遊技盤Dの裏面には、図2に示す様に、回動中心である左辺DL から所定距離L1だけ外方向へ離れた右辺DR 近くの位置に遊技盤側コネクタ10が取り付けられている。そして、中枠Bの前面側には、保持具Jの回動軸から所定距離L2(≒L1)だけ離れた位置に、遊技盤側コネクタ10と挿脱される中枠側コネクタ20が取り付けられている。   Further, as shown in FIG. 2, a game board-side connector 10 is attached to the back surface of the game board D at a position near the right side DR that is separated from the left side DL, which is the center of rotation, by a predetermined distance L1. . On the front side of the middle frame B, a middle frame side connector 20 that is inserted into and removed from the game board side connector 10 is attached at a position separated from the rotation axis of the holder J by a predetermined distance L2 (≈L1). ing.

これら中枠側コネクタ20及び遊技盤側コネクタ10は、図1に示す様に、端子Pin の配列方向が中枠の左右の辺とほぼ平行となる様に取り付けられている。   As shown in FIG. 1, the middle frame side connector 20 and the game board side connector 10 are attached so that the arrangement direction of the terminals Pin is substantially parallel to the left and right sides of the middle frame.

本実施形態では、図3に示す様に、中枠側コネクタ20がプラグタイプハウジング21で構成され、遊技盤側コネクタ10がソケットタイプハウジング11で構成された一組のピンコンタクトタイプのコネクタを用いる。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 3, a pair of pin contact type connectors in which the middle frame side connector 20 is constituted by a plug type housing 21 and the game board side connector 10 is constituted by a socket type housing 11 are used. .

ここで、中枠側コネクタ20は、図3に示す様に、端子Pin の配列方向両端からさらに外に向かって張り出す様にボックス底部に形成された取付用台部22のそれぞれに形成された貫通孔23に挿通されるネジ24と、これと螺合するナット25と、各ネジ24に外挿されるコイルバネ26とによって、中枠Bに直交する方向(前後方向)への移動及び中枠Bの左右方向への傾動が可能なフローティング状態で取り付けられている。   Here, as shown in FIG. 3, the middle frame side connector 20 is formed on each of the mounting base portions 22 formed on the bottom of the box so as to protrude outward from both ends of the terminals Pin in the arrangement direction. The screw 24 inserted through the through hole 23, the nut 25 screwed with the screw 24, and the coil spring 26 externally inserted into each screw 24 move in the direction perpendicular to the middle frame B (front-rear direction) and the middle frame B It is attached in a floating state that can tilt in the left-right direction.

また、中枠側コネクタ20が取り付けられる部分の中枠Bの表面には、ネジ24を挿通するネジ挿通孔31が開口されると共に、このネジ孔31の右側に突条32が一体形成されている。この突条32は、ネジ挿通孔31−31間に渡る直線状のもので、ネジ挿通孔31から右側へのズレ量は、中枠側コネクタ20の裏面幅の1/2よりも若干小さい量とされている。従って、取付状態において、中枠側コネクタ20は、外側への傾動が規制されたフローティング状態となる。   Further, a screw insertion hole 31 through which the screw 24 is inserted is opened on the surface of the middle frame B to which the middle frame connector 20 is attached, and a protrusion 32 is integrally formed on the right side of the screw hole 31. Yes. The protrusion 32 is a straight line extending between the screw insertion holes 31-31, and the amount of deviation from the screw insertion hole 31 to the right side is slightly smaller than ½ of the back surface width of the middle frame connector 20. It is said that. Therefore, in the attached state, the middle frame side connector 20 is in a floating state in which the outward tilt is restricted.

さらに、プラグタイプの中枠側コネクタ20は、その先端20aがテーパーによる先細形状とされ、ソケットタイプの遊技盤側コネクタ10は、その凹所の先端10aがテーパによる先広がりの形状とされている。また、両コネクタの左右の嵌合面には、左右非対称の凹凸が形成されている。   Further, the plug-type middle frame side connector 20 has a tapered tip 20a, and the socket-type game board-side connector 10 has a concave tip 10a tapered. . Also, left and right asymmetrical irregularities are formed on the left and right fitting surfaces of both connectors.

なお、本実施形態では、遊技盤側コネクタ10は、遊技盤Dの裏面に直付けされている。   In the present embodiment, the game board side connector 10 is directly attached to the back surface of the game board D.

次に、パチンコ機Pにおいて、遊技盤Dを中枠Bに取り付ける際の作用について説明する。遊技盤Dの左辺DL を保持具Jに保持させ、回動操作によって遊技盤Dを中枠Bに対して押し付ける。この際、遊技盤Dの裏面に取り付けられた遊技盤側コネクタ10と中枠側コネクタ20とが係合し合う。このとき、遊技盤Dの回動操作の進行と共に中枠側コネクタ20は、内側へは傾き易く、外側にはほとんど傾かない様に動きが誘導及び規制されている。従って、中枠側コネクタ20が遊技盤側コネクタ10から逃げる方向への傾きが規制され、係合し合う方向への傾きが促進され、コネクタ組の係合がスムーズに実行される。こうして遊技盤Dを中枠Bに押し付けたら、中枠Bに備えられている固定装置Hの回動操作部材H1を操作して遊技盤Dの前面を押圧保持する。   Next, the operation when the game board D is attached to the middle frame B in the pachinko machine P will be described. The left side DL of the game board D is held by the holder J, and the game board D is pressed against the middle frame B by a turning operation. At this time, the game board side connector 10 and the middle frame side connector 20 attached to the back surface of the game board D are engaged with each other. At this time, as the turning operation of the game board D proceeds, the middle frame side connector 20 is guided and regulated so that it is easy to incline inward and hardly inclines outward. Therefore, the inclination in the direction in which the middle frame side connector 20 escapes from the game board side connector 10 is restricted, the inclination in the direction in which the middle frame side connector 20 engages is promoted, and the engagement of the connector set is executed smoothly. When the game board D is pressed against the middle frame B in this way, the rotation operation member H1 of the fixing device H provided in the middle frame B is operated to press and hold the front surface of the game board D.

なお、遊技盤Dを取り外す方向に回動するときには、無理な力が加わらないスムーズな離脱が実現される。   It should be noted that when the game board D is rotated in the direction of detaching, smooth detachment without applying excessive force is realized.

よって、本実施形態のパチンコ機Pによれば、遊技盤Dの着脱のための回動操作と同時にコネクタ10,20の挿脱をスムーズに実施することができ、コネクタ10,20の損傷を防止することができる。   Therefore, according to the pachinko machine P of this embodiment, the connectors 10 and 20 can be smoothly inserted and removed simultaneously with the turning operation for attaching and detaching the game board D, and the connectors 10 and 20 are prevented from being damaged. can do.

また、両コネクタ10,20としてソケット(雌)とプラグ(雄)の組合せを採用したので、嵌合によりしっかりと確実に接続される。さらに、プラグタイプハウジングで構成される中枠側コネクタ20の先端をテーパによる先細形状とすると共に、遊技盤側コネクタ10の凹所先端をテーパによる先広がり形状としたので、プラグがソケットへとスムーズに侵入することができ、よりスムーズな接続が実現される。また、離脱させる際にも、先端テーパによる逃げが作用し、無理な力が加わらないスムーズな離脱が可能となっている。   Moreover, since the combination of the socket (female) and the plug (male) is adopted as both the connectors 10 and 20, they are securely and securely connected by fitting. Further, the tip of the middle frame side connector 20 constituted by the plug type housing has a tapered shape with a taper, and the recess tip of the game board side connector 10 has a tapered shape with a taper, so that the plug smoothly into the socket. And can be connected more smoothly. In addition, when the detachment is performed, a relief by the tip taper acts, and a smooth detachment without applying an excessive force is possible.

さらに、ネジ挿通孔31,31の近傍位置間に渡る突条32を中枠Bのコネクタ取付面に一体に形成したので、コネクタ20の傾斜状態と遊技盤Dの回動状態のズレを生じ難くする機能を確実に実現することができている。   Further, since the protrusion 32 extending between the positions near the screw insertion holes 31 and 31 is integrally formed on the connector mounting surface of the middle frame B, it is difficult to cause a deviation between the inclined state of the connector 20 and the rotational state of the game board D. The function to perform is surely realized.

次に、第2実施形態について説明する。第2実施形態のパチンコ機は、コネクタをベローズコンタクトタイプにした点以外は、上述した実施形態と同様の構成を備えている。ここで、ベローズコンタクトタイプのコネクタとは、特開2006−66352号公報、特開2002−367694号公報、特開2000−260509号公報等に示される様に、雌雄のコネクタの端子の内のいずれか一方が、薄板をU字状等に曲げて形成されたばね性のある接点となっているものをいう。   Next, a second embodiment will be described. The pachinko machine of the second embodiment has the same configuration as that of the above-described embodiment except that the connector is a bellows contact type. Here, the bellows contact type connector is any of the terminals of male and female connectors as shown in JP-A-2006-66352, JP-A-2002-367694, JP-A-2000-260509, and the like. One of them is a contact having a spring property formed by bending a thin plate into a U-shape or the like.

本実施形態では、図4に示す様に、雌端子41に薄板を屈曲させたベローズコンタクトを使用し、雄端子51は平板で直線状のコンタクトを使用したコネクタ40,50を用いる。   In the present embodiment, as shown in FIG. 4, a bellows contact obtained by bending a thin plate is used for the female terminal 41, and the connectors 40 and 50 using flat and straight contacts are used for the male terminal 51.

本実施形態では、中枠B側にプラグタイプのコネクタ40を、遊技盤D側にソケットタイプのコネクタ50を取り付ける。両コネクタ40,50は、第1実施形態と同様に、上下に向かって張り出す様に形成された取付用台部(図示略)のそれぞれに形成された貫通孔(図示略)に挿通されるネジ44,54と、これと螺合するナット45,55と、各ネジ44,54に外挿されるコイルバネ46,56とによって、各取付面に直交する方向への移動及び取付面に沿った左右方向への傾動が可能なフローティング状態で取り付けられている。   In the present embodiment, a plug-type connector 40 is attached to the middle frame B side, and a socket-type connector 50 is attached to the game board D side. Both connectors 40 and 50 are inserted into through holes (not shown) formed in respective mounting bases (not shown) formed so as to protrude upward and downward, as in the first embodiment. The screws 44, 54, the nuts 45, 55 screwed with the screws 44, 54, and the coil springs 46, 56 externally attached to the screws 44, 54 are moved in the direction orthogonal to the mounting surfaces and left and right along the mounting surfaces. It is mounted in a floating state that can tilt in the direction.

また、遊技盤Dの裏面及び中枠Bの表面のコネクタ取付面には、ネジ44,54を挿通するネジ挿通孔(図示略)が開口されると共に、このネジ孔の右側に突条48,58が一体形成されている。この突条48,58は、ネジ挿通孔間に渡る直線状のもので、ネジ挿通孔から外側(右)へのズレ量は、各コネクタ40,50の裏面幅の1/2よりも若干小さい量とされている。従って、取付状態において、各コネクタ40,50は、外側への傾動が規制されたフローティング状態となる。   In addition, screw insertion holes (not shown) through which screws 44 and 54 are inserted are opened on the back surface of the game board D and the connector mounting surfaces on the front surface of the middle frame B, and the ridges 48 and 48 are formed on the right side of the screw holes. 58 is integrally formed. The protrusions 48 and 58 are linear across the screw insertion holes, and the amount of deviation from the screw insertion holes to the outside (right) is slightly smaller than ½ of the back surface width of the connectors 40 and 50. It is said to be a quantity. Accordingly, in the attached state, the connectors 40 and 50 are in a floating state in which the outward tilt is restricted.

さらに、プラグタイプのコネクタ40の先端40aがテーパーによる先細形状とされ、ソケットタイプのコネクタ50の凹所の先端50aがテーパによる先広がりの形状とされている。また、両コネクタの上下の嵌合面には、上下非対称の凹凸が形成されている。   Furthermore, the tip 40a of the plug-type connector 40 is tapered and the tip 50a of the recess of the socket-type connector 50 is tapered. Further, the upper and lower fitting surfaces of both connectors are formed with asymmetric top and bottom asperities.

本実施形態のパチンコ機Pも、第1実施形態と同じく、遊技盤Dの着脱のための回動操作と同時にコネクタ40,50の挿脱をスムーズに実施することができ、コネクタ40,50の損傷を防止することができる。また、ベローズコンタクトタイプの端子を使用したことにより、緩めのソケット&プラグとしておいてもしっかりとした係合状態を実現することができる。   Similarly to the first embodiment, the pachinko machine P of the present embodiment can smoothly insert and remove the connectors 40 and 50 simultaneously with the turning operation for attaching and detaching the game board D. Damage can be prevented. In addition, by using the bellows contact type terminal, it is possible to realize a firm engagement state even as a loose socket & plug.

次に、第3実施形態について説明する。第3実施形態は、図5に示す様に、第1実施形態において、フローティング状態で取り付けられるコネクタ10の遊技盤回動中心に近い側の縁の近くの裏面側に形成した嵌合孔71に、突条32よりも高さが低いピン状の突起72を着脱可能に装着したものである。   Next, a third embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 5, the third embodiment has a fitting hole 71 formed on the back side near the edge near the game board rotation center of the connector 10 attached in a floating state in the first embodiment. A pin-like protrusion 72 having a height lower than that of the protrusion 32 is detachably mounted.

かかる構成をも採用することで、内側への傾斜角度が大きくなり過ぎることも防止し、大きな自由度と十分な規制のバランスを採ることができる。特に、ピン状の突起72を着脱可能なピン状部品としたので、部品交換をすることで傾斜角度のバランス調整を容易に実施することができる。   By adopting such a configuration as well, it is possible to prevent the inward inclination angle from becoming too large, and to achieve a balance between a large degree of freedom and sufficient regulation. In particular, since the pin-shaped protrusion 72 is a detachable pin-shaped component, the balance of the inclination angle can be easily adjusted by replacing the component.

コネクタ取付位置を遊技盤(全幅480mm)の左辺(回動中心)から400mmとした場合について、従来の両コネクタ直付けの場合と、本発明の第1実施形態の取り付け方を採用した場合について比較検討する。   When the connector mounting position is 400 mm from the left side (rotation center) of the game board (full width 480 mm), a comparison is made between the case where both conventional connectors are directly attached and the case where the mounting method of the first embodiment of the present invention is adopted. consider.

従来の取り付け方では、挿入開始時の両コネクタの軸線(取付面に垂直な方向)同士のずれが角度にして約3度となり、何とか挿入できる程度であったのに対し、中枠側コネクタを第1実施形態同様に「外側への傾動規制を行ったフローティング状態」となる様にコイルバネ及び突条を用いて取り付けた場合は、挿入開始時の両コネクタの軸線同士のずれが角度にして約2度程度に収まり、非常にスムーズに挿入することができた。   In the conventional mounting method, the deviation between the axis lines of both connectors at the start of insertion (in the direction perpendicular to the mounting surface) is about 3 degrees in angle, and it can be inserted somehow. As in the first embodiment, when mounting using a coil spring and a ridge so as to be in a “floating state in which tilting to the outside is restricted”, the deviation between the axes of both connectors at the start of insertion is about an angle. It was about 2 degrees and could be inserted very smoothly.

次に、コネクタ取付位置を遊技盤(全幅480mm)の左辺(回動中心)から300mm(全幅の2/3弱の位置)とした場合について、従来の両コネクタ直付けの場合と、本発明の第1実施形態の取り付け方を採用した場合について比較検討する。   Next, with respect to the case where the connector mounting position is 300 mm (position less than 2/3 of the full width) from the left side (rotation center) of the game board (full width 480 mm), The case where the mounting method of the first embodiment is adopted will be compared.

従来の取り付け方では、挿入開始時の両コネクタの軸線同士のずれが角度にして約5度となり、挿入不可能であったのに対し、中枠側コネクタを第1実施形態同様に「外側への傾動規制を行ったフローティング状態」となる様にコイルバネ及び突条を用いて取り付けた場合は、挿入開始時の両コネクタの軸線同士のずれが角度にして約3度程度に収まり、挿入可能な状態とすることができた。   In the conventional mounting method, the shift between the axes of the connectors at the start of insertion is about 5 degrees in angle, and the insertion is impossible. On the other hand, the middle frame side connector is “outward” as in the first embodiment. When mounting using coil springs and ridges so as to be in a “floating state where the tilting is restricted,” the misalignment between the axes of both connectors at the start of insertion is within about 3 degrees in angle and can be inserted. It was possible to be in a state.

この様に、本発明は、コネクタ取付位置を遊技盤の中央寄りにしても、遊技盤取り付けのための回動操作でコネクタの接続が可能になるという作用・効果を発揮するものであるということもできる。即ち、本発明によれば、コネクタの配置を遊技盤の中央寄りにしても、その接続を遊技盤取り付けのための回動操作で実施でき、これにより、コネクタ配置位置の自由度が増大し、配線のための機器配置等の自由度も高まり、効率の良い設計を可能にするという効果も発揮するものといえる。   As described above, the present invention exhibits the action and effect that the connector can be connected by the turning operation for mounting the game board even when the connector mounting position is close to the center of the game board. You can also. That is, according to the present invention, even if the connector is arranged closer to the center of the game board, the connection can be performed by a turning operation for attaching the game board, thereby increasing the degree of freedom of the connector arrangement position, It can be said that the degree of freedom of arrangement of devices for wiring is increased and the effect of enabling efficient design is also exhibited.

なお、第2実施形態並びに第3実施形態の取り付け方をした場合も、上述の実施例同様に、従来の取り付け方では挿入不可能な中央寄りの位置にコネクタを配置した場合にも遊技盤回動操作によるコネクタ接続状態の完了が可能である。   Even when the second embodiment and the third embodiment are attached, similarly to the above-described example, the game board can be rotated even when the connector is arranged at a position near the center that cannot be inserted by the conventional attachment method. The connector connection state can be completed by a dynamic operation.

以上、発明を実施するための形態としてのいくつかの実施形態及び実施例を説明したが、本発明は、これに限定されるものではなく、その要旨を逸脱しない範囲内における種々の変更が可能である。   As mentioned above, although several embodiment and an Example as a form for inventing were demonstrated, this invention is not limited to this, Various change in the range which does not deviate from the summary is possible. It is.

例えば、ベローズコンタクトの使用は雌側だけでなく、雄側にもベローズコンタクトを使用したコネクタを用いてもよい。   For example, a bellows contact may be used not only on the female side but also on the male side using a connector using the bellows contact.

また、左右回動方式で遊技盤を着脱する構成に変えて、上下回動方式で遊技盤の着脱を行うパチンコ機に対して本発明を実施してもよい。この場合、コネクタの取付方向は、端子配列方向が中枠の上下の辺に沿う方向としておくとよい。なお、上述した実施形態の様に左右回動方式で遊技盤を着脱する場合においても、端子配列方向を左右の辺ではなく上下の辺に平行となる様にコネクタを取り付けてもよい。さらに、コネクタの取付位置は、中枠の中央付近としておいてもよい。   Further, the present invention may be implemented for a pachinko machine that attaches and detaches the game board by the vertical rotation method, instead of the configuration in which the game board is attached and detached by the left and right rotation method. In this case, the connector mounting direction may be such that the terminal arrangement direction is along the upper and lower sides of the middle frame. Even when the game board is attached and detached by the left-right rotation method as in the above-described embodiment, the connector may be attached so that the terminal arrangement direction is parallel to the upper and lower sides instead of the left and right sides. Further, the attachment position of the connector may be near the center of the middle frame.

本発明は、遊技盤を遊技機本体に対して前側からの回動操作によって着脱自在に装着し得る様に構成した遊技機に利用することができる。   The present invention can be used for a gaming machine configured such that the gaming board can be detachably attached to the gaming machine main body by a turning operation from the front side.
