Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine having a control device in which a control board is housed in a board box.

A gaming machine such as a pachinko machine that plays a game with a winning or non-winning game ball or a slot machine that plays a game with a combination of multiple numbers and symbols is equipped with a control device that houses a control board in a board box. . And most of the games are controlled by this control device, so in recent years, the board box of the control device has been dismantled and the control board inside has been changed to a content that is advantageous to unauthorized persons. The illegal act of exchanging was a problem.
Therefore, in order to prevent the illegal act of such a technique, there is one in which the base body and the lid body are joined, and a sealing seal is pasted so as to straddle the boundary between the two (for example, Patent Document 1).

JP-A-9-225092

  Although a certain anti-fraud effect can be obtained by applying a sealing sticker between the base body and the lid as described above and sealing it, for example, an unauthorized person peels off the sealing stick in an intact state using a solvent or the like. Then, after removing the lid from the base body and replacing the control board with an unauthorized one, an illegal act of closing the lid and returning the seal seal to the original may occur.

  The present invention has been made in view of the above, and an object of the present invention is to provide a control device with improved security performance of a seal seal, and thus to provide a gaming machine having high security performance.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention
It has a board box that houses the control board,
When the board box is in the state of installation, the player side is the front, the opposite side is the back,
A base body projecting side walls on the front plate located on the front side to open the rear surface;
A lid body that protrudes from the rear plate located on the rear side and has a front open shape and is fitted and joined to the base body,
A sealing seal that sticks and seals in an L-shaped bent state on the side surface of the rear plate and the base body of the lid body in a state where the base body and the lid body are joined;
A transparent cover member that covers the seal seal in a mounted state;
The cover member is
A lid-side cover piece that covers a portion of the sealing seal that covers the lid body;
A base-side cover piece that covers a portion of the seal seal that covers the base body;
A plate-like insertion piece projecting in the same direction as the base-side cover piece at the edge opposite to the base-side cover piece of the lid-side cover piece,
The lid body has a back end-closed sheath portion that can be inserted and removed in a concave shape that matches the insertion piece in a portion corresponding to the insertion piece of the cover member of the rear plate,
There is provided a gaming machine in which a base side cover piece of the cover member is fixed to a base body and the insertion piece of the cover side cover piece of the cover member is inserted into the sheath portion of the lid body.

Generally, when the board box is installed in a gaming machine, the rear plate side of the lid body is easy to see. In the present invention, since the seal seal is bent in an L shape and attached to the rear plate of the lid and the side surface of the base body, the seal seal faces the rear plate of the lid. Therefore, it is easy to check the seal with the board box installed in the gaming machine.
On the other hand, in the present invention, an L-shaped cover member covers a sealing seal bent in an L shape. In this case, the base side cover piece of the cover member is relatively easy to fix using the side surface of the base body with a high degree of freedom of processing, but the cover side cover piece of the cover member is a lid body with a low degree of freedom of processing. However, in the present invention, the back plate of the lid body is formed with a concave and deep-end-closed sheath, while the cover member is provided with an insertion piece on the lid side cover piece. Protruding and inserting the insertion piece into the sheath portion, so that there is no gap between the lid side cover piece and the lid body and the edge of the cover side cover piece of the cover member is substantially fixed It is in such a state.
Therefore, the board box installed in the gaming machine of the present invention has a sealing seal attached by a cover member attached to the corner to improve the visibility of the sealing seal by sticking the sealing seal to the corner and protect the sealing seal. There is an effect that can improve the crime prevention performance.
Therefore, the fraud prevention performance of the control device is improved, and the crime prevention performance of the gaming machine is improved.

A control device 7 is provided.

[Control device]
The control device 7 is configured by storing a control board 9 (for example, see FIGS. 5A and 5B) in which electronic parts such as a CPU and a memory are mounted in a board box 8 having a box structure with a lid that can be opened and closed. Yes, it is detachable from the mechanism panel 3.

[Board box]
The substrate box 8 is generally composed of a base body 10 corresponding to the “body” of the box with lid and a lid body 11 corresponding to the “lid” of the box with lid.
The base body 10 is made of, for example, a transparent synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, and includes a horizontally-long rectangular front plate 12 that abuts the mechanism panel 3 and a side wall 13 that protrudes backward from the front plate 12. The rear surface is open.
On the other hand, the lid body 11 is made of a transparent synthetic resin such as polycarbonate, for example, and has a horizontally long rear plate 14, a side wall 15 projecting forward from the rear plate 14, and formed inside the side wall 15. The inner wall 15a has a front opening shape.
In the base body 10 and the lid body 11, the opening size of the side wall 13 of the base body 10 is slightly smaller than the opening size of the side wall 15 of the lid body 11, so that the lid body 11 is disposed outside the side wall 13 of the base body 10. And the inner wall 15 a of the lid body 11 is fitted inside the side wall 13 of the base body 10.

  3 and 4 of the base body 10 and the lid body 11, the left side walls 13 and 15 have a hinge structure that can be joined and separated. Specifically, as shown in the partial cross section of FIG. 4 and an enlarged view thereof, an inverted U-shaped bag portion 16 is provided on the side wall 13 of the base body 10, while an L-shaped bag is provided on the side wall 15 of the lid body 11. By providing the portion 17 and engaging the L-shaped flange portion 17 of the lid body 11 while turning around the bag portion 16 of the base body 10, the lid body 11 is rotatably supported with respect to the base body 10, and It is separable. Note that a knob 18 that facilitates opening and closing of the lid 11 is provided at the center position on the right side wall 15 of the lid 11 in FIG.

[Sealing means]
In addition, the base body 10 and the lid body 11 are joined and sealed to the right side walls 13 and 15 of the base body 10 and the lid body 11 in FIG. The sealing means 19 which destroys is formed.
Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the sealing projection 20 of the lid 11 and the sealing projection 21 of the base body 10 are aligned, and a circled “1” is marked on the lid 11. The square recesses 22a, 22a are joined to each other through screws (not shown), and the recesses 22a, 22a are sealed with plug members (not shown) so that the screws cannot be removed. Thus, when the seal is released, the weakened portion indicated by the symbol z in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the base body 10 and the lid body 11 is broken with a tool such as a nipper.
The sealing means 19 is formed with second recessed portions 22b and 22b which are engraved with a circled "2" on the lid 11, and breaks the fragile portion z for regular inspection or the like. Even when the lid 11 is opened, it can be sealed again using the second recessed portions 22b and 22b.

  Further, the side walls 13 and 15 on the lower side in the longitudinal direction in FIG. 3 of the base body 10 and the lid body 11 are joined together by two screws 23 and 23 as shown in FIGS. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, the rear plate 14 of the lid body 11 extends downward to form a screw-like hook-shaped portion 25 having the countersink 24 for inserting the screws 23 and 23. On the other hand, as shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, a screw receiving portion 26 is provided on the outer surface of the side wall 13 of the base body 10 so as to substantially align with the flange-like portion 25, and the screw formed on the screw receiving portion 26. The base body 10 and the lid body 11 are also joined to the receiving boss part 27 by passing the screws 23 and 23 from the countersink 24 of the bowl-like part 25 and tightening the screws 23 and 23.

  In the embodiment, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 8, the boss portion 27 of the screw receiving portion 26 of the base body 10 bulges outward from the outer surface of the screw receiving portion 26 and extends in the front-rear direction (in FIG. 8). A rail-shaped bulging portion 27a continuous in the depth direction) is provided. By doing so, the thickness of the screw receiving portion 26 can be suppressed without impairing the thickness (strength) of the boss portion 27 necessary for screwing, and the seal fits into the concave groove 29 of the seal breaking plate 28 described later. An effect of allowing the fracture plate 28 to slide straight and accurately is obtained.

Further, as shown in FIG. 9, the heads 23a of the two screws 23, 23 are covered by a sealing seal 30 that is pasted across the joint boundary between the base body 10 and the lid body 11, It is sealed so that it cannot be removed as it is.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 9, a concave surface portion 31 extending from the flange-shaped portion 25 of the lid 11 to a part of the rear plate 14 is formed, while the screw plate is received on the front plate 12 of the base body 10. A seal adhering plate 32 protrudes from the portion 26 at a distance corresponding to the thickness of the seal fracture plate 28 described later, and the seal adhering plate 32 and the concave surface portion 31 of the lid 11 are formed on the concave surface portion 31 of FIG. As shown in FIG. 5A, a seal sticker 30 having a display such as “open prohibition” is pasted on the warning display area 33 in the middle of the surface. The seal sticking plate 32 and the concave surface portion 31 are in a substantially perpendicular positional relationship. Therefore, the seal seal 30 is stuck in a bent state on a substantially perpendicular corner of the substrate box 8, and the warning is made at the corner. The display area 33 is also bent at a substantially right angle so that the indication “unopened” can be clearly seen from both the rear surface and the lower surface of the substrate box 8.

[Sealed seal]
As shown in FIGS. 15 (a) and 15 (b), the seal seal 30 includes both breaking (* when cutting with a sharp blade and when cutting with a so-called blunt blade that is not cut well). The same applies hereinafter) A seal body 34 made of a material such as possible paper and having a horizontally long rectangle as a basic shape and processed to be jagged all around, and a non-contact type disposed at a substantially central portion of the back surface of the seal body 34 An IC chip 35 and an operation stabilizing means 36 connected to the IC chip 35 and disposed substantially diagonally to the seal body 34 and stabilizing the operation of the IC chip 35 in the immediate vicinity of the IC chip 35. The identification data recorded in the memory area of the IC chip 35 is read out by an external reader and the authenticity of the control device 7 is confirmed. .

[Seal seal ... Operation stabilization means]
The operation stabilizing means 36 of the seal seal 30 is, for example, one slit cut into a length of about 5 mm starting from the end of the IC chip 35 with respect to the total length 52 mm of the antenna 37. The slit is a part responsible for high-frequency radio wave matching, and is provided for stably reading data stored in the non-contact type IC chip 35 from an external reader.
Incidentally, according to an experiment conducted by the inventor of the present application, the function of the IC chip 35 obtained by cutting the antenna 37 at the slit portion serving as the operation stabilizing means 36 is not restored even if the cut portions of the antenna 37 are connected. On the other hand, the function of the IC chip 35 obtained by cutting the antenna 37 at a portion other than the slit portion may be restored by connecting the cut portions of the antenna 37 together.

[Cover member]
The seal seal 30 is protected by a cover member 38 made of a transparent synthetic resin (for example, polycarbonate). As shown in FIGS. 9 and 10, the cover member 38 includes a lid-side cover piece 39 that fits into the concave portion 31 of the lid 11 and is flush with the rear plate 14 of the lid 11, and a base body. 10 and the base side cover piece 40 along the outer surface of the seal sticking plate 32 and the edge of the lid side cover piece 39 opposite to the base side cover piece 40 in the same direction as the base side cover piece 40. A plate-shaped insertion piece 390, lateral cover pieces 41, 41 projecting on both sides of the base-side cover piece 40 and enclosing the sides of the seal sticking plate 32, and outer sides of the lateral cover pieces 41, 41 And L-shaped receiving pieces 42 and 42 projecting from each other.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 13, the cover member 38 is attached to the substrate box 8 in a state where the attaching / detaching direction is regulated in the front-rear direction by the guide means.

  As shown in FIGS. 7 and 13, the specific guide means includes lid-side guide pieces 43, 43 projecting on both sides of the hook-like portion 25 of the lid body 11, and the front plate 12 of the base body 10. Base-side guide pieces 44, 44 projecting from and facing the lid-side guide pieces 43, 43, and projecting outward from the front plate 12 and the side wall 13 of the base body 10 and projecting outward from the base-side guide pieces 44, 44. 13 and a cover receiver 45 that surrounds the cover side. As shown in FIG. 13, the lid side guide pieces 43 and 43 and the base side guide piece 44 are formed on the inner surfaces of the horizontal cover pieces 41 and 41 of the cover member 38. 44, the outer surface of the cover member 38 abuts to restrict the lateral movement of the cover member 38, and the base side cover piece 40 of the cover member 38 is connected to each of the lid side guide pieces 43, 43 and the base side guide pieces 44, 44. Sandwiched between the end face and the cover receiver 45 of the base body 10 Vertical direction of the cover member 38 to restrict the movement of the (Fig. 7, a direction perpendicular to the paper surface in FIG. 13), with the mounting and dismounting direction of the cover member 38 for restricting the longitudinal direction. Further, in the embodiment, the insertion piece 390 of the cover side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38 is inserted into the recessed and back end closed sheath portion 140 formed on the rear surface plate 14 of the lid body 11 in an aligned state. The attaching / detaching direction of the cover member 38 is restricted to the front-rear direction.

  Further, the guide means has a key piece 46 that can be elastically deformed in the base side guide piece 44 as shown by a solid line and an imaginary line in the enlarged view of FIG. The cover member 38 (base-side cover piece 40) is fixed to the side surface of the base body 10 by engaging with the locking holes 47 formed in the horizontal cover piece 41.

  In this fixed state, as shown in FIG. 9, the cover member 38 does not have a place to be caught by a finger because the cover-side cover piece 39 is fitted to the concave surface portion 31 of the cover body 11, and the cover member 38 Since the front end of the member 38 is also surrounded by the cover receiver 45, there is no place where the finger is caught and pulled, and the key piece 46 engaged with the locking hole 47 has no means for releasing the engagement from the outside. . Therefore, it is difficult to remove the cover member 38, but in the embodiment, the insertion piece 390 of the cover side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38 is further recessed and closed at the back end formed on the rear plate 14 of the lid body 11. As if the edge of the cover side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38 was substantially fixed without inserting a gap between the cover portion 38 and the cover body 11 so as to be inserted into the sheath 140 in alignment. It is in the state.

  By the way, making the removal of the cover member 38 difficult as described above is convenient from the viewpoint of protecting the sealing seal 30 by the cover member 38. However, on the other hand, the cover member 38 needs to be removable when performing a regular inspection. Therefore, in the embodiment, the base plate 10 is provided with base plates 48 and 48 protruding from the base body 10 by providing a slight gap t between the L-shaped receiving pieces 42 and 42 protruding from both sides of the cover member 38. A tool such as a flathead screwdriver is inserted between the plates 48 and 48 and the L-shaped receiving pieces 42 and 42 so that a large force is applied by the lever action, and the engagement between the key piece 46 and the locking hole 47 is caused by the force. Can be forcibly released. In other words, the cover member 38 of the embodiment can be removed by sliding in the direction regulated by the guide means only when a large force is applied by a tool.

  10 and 11, reference numeral 49 is a protrusion protruding from the concave portion 31 of the lid body 11, and the sticking area of the seal seal 30 is clarified by the protrusion 49 and the seal seal 30. An appropriate gap is provided between the surface and the cover-side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38 to prevent the surface of the seal seal 30 from being rubbed and damaged by the cover member 38. On the other hand, if the end of the cover member 38 on the side close to this is pressed against the concave portion 31 by providing the protrusion 49, the end on the opposite side of the cover member 38 is lifted with the protrusion 49 as a fulcrum. As shown in FIG. 12, a pillow piece 50 having substantially the same height as that of the ridge 49 is provided on the side edge of the cover side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38. Of course, in the cover member 38 of the embodiment, since the insertion piece 390 of the lid-side cover piece 39 and the sheath portion 140 of the lid body 11 are fitted together as described above, it is possible to prevent the end of the lid-side cover piece 39 from being lifted. The effect is even higher. Incidentally, the lift of the end of the cover side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38 inserts a tool between the cover side cover piece 39 and the cover body 11 to destroy the cover side cover piece 39, and the sealing seal 30 thus exposed. Is unfavorable because it may lead to fraudulent removal of the screw 23, 23 under the solvent and the like, and removing the screws 23, 23 below.

[Break of seal]
In the embodiment, the seal seal 30 is broken in conjunction with the operation of removing the cover member 38, so that an improper removal of the cover member 38 leaves a trace that the seal of the seal seal 30 has been released, The seal 30 is easily peeled off when the cover member 38 is required to be removed.

  Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 10 to 13, the screw receiving portion 26, the seal attaching plate 32, the base side guide pieces 44 and 44, the lid side guide pieces 43 and 43, the cover receiver 45, As shown in FIG. 13 arrow I, the seal fracture plate 28 is stored and the seal fracture plate is formed by forming a narrow space in which five surfaces orthogonal to each other are partitioned. 28 and the cover member 38 are connected by a connecting means, and the seal breaking plate 28 is slid in conjunction with the cover member 38 in conjunction with the direction in which the cover member 38 is removed.

[Seal fracture plate]
As shown in FIGS. 7 and 8, the seal breaking plate 28 is a transparent synthetic resin plate that has a shape that fits perfectly in the storage portion 51 and is colored in red or the like. And a main plate portion 53 which is disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal side of the seal seal 30 and has a length longer than the longitudinal side, and an end portion on the side of the seal seal 30 in the middle of the main plate portion 53. One-way clutch pawls 55, 55 constituting the connecting means for connecting to the cover member 38 and the sub-plate portion 54 that intersects the main plate portion 53 at a right angle and is arranged substantially parallel to the short side of the sealing seal 30. And having.

[Seal fracture plate ... Main plate]
The main plate portion 53 is positioned immediately below the bent portion of the seal seal 30 in a state of being stored in the storage portion 51, and an edge facing the back surface of the seal seal 30 is formed in a substantially W shape. ing. Further, the end edge of the main plate portion 53 is a blunt blade-like portion 56 having a sharp tip with a flattened edge and a reduced sharpness. Therefore, there is no fear of cutting the hand by the blade-like portion 56, and the cut end is appropriately roughened, so that restoration becomes difficult.

[Seal rupture plate ... sub-plate part]
The sub-plate portion 54 is formed on the top of the mountain of the main plate portion 53 so as to be substantially parallel to the short side of the seal seal 30 in the state of being stored in the storage portion 51. The sub-plate portion 54 is slightly shifted from the center to match the position of the operation stabilizing means 36 of the antenna 37 of the seal seal 30. This is because the IC chip 35 is located in the center of the seal seal 30. Further, the edge of the sub-plate portion 54 is a slender blade-like portion 57 that has a sharp and sharp tip and is sharpened like the edge of the main plate portion 53, but the entire edge is slanted straight. In this way, a force that pushes up the sealing seal 30 is concentrated on one point of the blade-like portion 57 by forming it like a stamped sword (also referred to as a “cutting sword”).

[Seal break plate ... one-way clutch pawl]
The one-way clutch claws 55, 55 are formed on both sides of the main plate portion 53 of the seal breaking plate 28 as shown in FIG. 10, and face the base side cover piece 40 of the cover member 38 as shown in FIG. 16A. It is an elastically deformable member that hangs down in an inclined manner. On the other hand, on the inner surface of the base side cover piece 40 of the cover member 38, hook pieces 58 and 58 that can be engaged with the one-way clutch claws 55 and 55 only when the cover member 38 is slid in the removing direction are projected. The hook pieces 58 and 58 and the one-way clutch claws 55 and 55 constitute a connecting means, and the seal breaking plate 28 and the cover member 38 are connected by the connecting means.

[Identify Pair]
Further, the substrate box 8 of the embodiment is formed on the base body 10 and the lid display portion 59 formed on the rear plate 14 of the lid 11 as shown in FIGS. An identification mark 61 that includes a lid display unit 59 and a base body display unit 60 disposed at a close position, and can visually confirm a pair with each other on the lid display unit 59 and the base body display unit 60. Formed.

As shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the lid display portion 59 is formed at a position near the side edge of the rear plate 14 of the lid 11 and beside the cover member 38.
On the other hand, the base body display unit 60 projects a leg wall 62 from the front plate 12 of the base body 10 along the outside of the side wall 15 of the lid 11 and displays the lid body display unit 59 on the leg wall 62. It is formed at a position that is substantially parallel to the surface and that can be seen side by side with the lid display portion 59, for example, side by side with the lid display portion 59.
Further, the identification mark 61 is, for example, a number, a letter, a symbol, or a combination thereof, and it is confirmed visually that it is a pair of each other, that is, the base body 10 and the lid body 11 that have been fitted from the factory shipment stage. Anything you can get. The simplest identification mark 61 is the same number as shown in FIG. 1, FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, and this is arranged on the lid display unit 59 and the base display unit 60 in a state as shown in a two-stage notation. For example, the coincidence / disagreement between the base body 10 and the lid body 11 can be seen at a glance. Since both the character portions 59 and 60 are disposed in the proximity positions, it is not necessary to temporarily store the identification mark 61.
In addition to numerals, the identification mark 61 may be arranged with the same letters such as Roman letters, Greek letters, Kanji characters, Katakana, and symbols such as circles, triangles, and squares. Alternatively, even if they are not the same, for example, consecutive numbers may be displayed on the lid display unit 59 and the base display unit 60. Since the identification mark 61 can be confirmed visually, it can be confirmed by a simple daily visual check, and therefore does not include those that can be identified by an external reader such as a barcode.

In the embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 1, 2, and 3, the cover member 38 is also provided with a cover member display portion 63 similar to the lid display portion 59. The identification mark 61 is formed. The cover member display unit 63 is formed on the side of the lid display unit 59, and the lid display unit 59, the cover member display unit 63, and the base body display unit 60 are centrally arranged in one place.
By doing this, for example, a plurality of control devices of the same model are prepared, a part other than the necessary parts is destroyed, one part is collected, and a new control device is created that has been cheated with that part. Such fraud can be easily detected by confirming the identification mark 61.

  The cover member display unit 63 is most effectively implemented as a set with the cover body display unit 59 and the base body display unit 60 as in the embodiment. For example, the cover member display unit 63 and the cover body display unit Even if the combination is limited to 59 or the cover member display part 63 and the base body display part 60, the effect of preventing the cover member 38 from being destroyed can be enjoyed.

  The identification mark 61 can be formed by a laser marker or an ink jet printer that is engraved by laser irradiation. Preferably, the identification mark 61 is applied after the lid body 11 is assembled to the base body 10 and the cover member 38 is attached. Of course, it is possible to attach the identification mark 61 to each of the base body 10, the lid body 11 and the cover member 38 and then assemble them. However, in order to assemble the elements of the identification mark 61 forming a pair and to assemble them without fail. Requires an advanced management system. On the other hand, if the manufacturing method which applies the identification mark 61 to each display part 59, 60, 63 after assembling each element is adopted, the identification mark 61 can be utilized with high reliability without requiring an advanced management system. .

1, 2, etc., reference numerals 64, 64... Are located on the entire side wall 13 on the upper side in the longitudinal direction in FIG. 3 of the base body 10 and on the outside of the side wall 13 excluding the cover receiver 45 and the leg wall 62 on the lower side in the longitudinal direction. It is a short-shaped protective wall that protrudes, and covers the outside of the side wall 15 of the lid 11 so that a foreign object that tries to pry between the base body 10 and the lid 11 cannot be inserted.

[Assembly of the board box]
In the substrate box 8 having the above configuration, first, the control board 9 is mounted on the base body 10, the lid body 11 is placed thereon, the screws of the sealing means 19 are tightened, and the base body 10 and the lid body 11 are joined. Further, the rectangular recess portions 22a and 22a of the sealing means 19 are filled with a stopper member and sealed. In addition, the two screws 23 and 23 are tightened into the screw receiving portion 26 to join the base body 10 and the lid body 11 again.

[Storing the broken seal plate]
Next, as shown by arrow I in FIG. 13, the seal fracture plate 28 is stored in the storage portion 51 of the base body 10. In addition, a recessed portion 65 is formed in the flange-shaped portion 25 and the screw receiving portion 26 of the lid body 11 and the seal attaching plate 32 of the base body 10, and the auxiliary portion of the seal breaking plate 28 is formed in the recessed portion 65. The plate portion 54 is accommodated. The sub-plate portion 54 of the seal fracture plate 28 can be accurately positioned by the recessed portion 65.

[Attaching seal seal]
Next, as shown by arrow II in FIG. 13, the sealing seal 30 is affixed to the concave surface portion 31 of the lid 11 and the seal sticking plate 32 in a bent state. In this state, the heads 23 a of the screws 23, 23 are covered with the seal seal 30, and the opening above the storage portion 51 is covered with the seal seal 30. Therefore, the blade-like portion 56 of the main plate portion 53 of the seal breaking plate 28 faces the back side of the seal seal 30, and the sub plate portion 54 of the seal breaking plate 28 is further connected to the operation stabilizing means 36 of the antenna 37 of the seal seal 30. Opposite the back side.

[Attaching the cover member]
Next, the cover member 38 is slid along the guide means as shown by arrow III in FIG. At this time, it is pushed by the horizontal cover piece 41 of the cover member 38 and the base side guide piece 44 of the base body 10 (strictly speaking, a rod-like portion integrated with the key piece 46 as shown by an imaginary line in the enlarged view of FIG. ) Are elastically deformed and escape inward, and when the pressing of the cover member 38 is completed, the key piece 46 moves back and engages with the locking hole 47 of the lateral cover piece 41 by its own elasticity.
Further, in the process of attaching the cover member 38 to the substrate box 8 as described above, the insertion piece 390 of the cover member 38 is fitted while being aligned with the sheath portion 140 of the lid 11, and thus cooperates with the guide means. Then, the sliding of the cover member 38 is guided. Then, in a state where the cover member 38 is completely attached to the board box 8, the insertion piece 390 of the cover member 38 is in alignment with the sheath portion 140 of the lid 11 as shown in FIG. 9.
On the other hand, when the cover member 38 is slid along the guide means, the hook pieces 58, 58 get over this while elastically deforming while pushing the opposite side of the one-way clutch claws 55, 55 of the seal breaking plate 28. Then, immediately after the hook pieces 58, 58 of the cover member 38 have passed through the one-way clutch pawls 55, 55, the one-way clutch pawls 55, 55 are moved back by their own elasticity, and the hook pieces of the cover member 38 as shown in FIG. 6A. 58 and 58 face each other.

  If the control device 7 is mounted and used in the mechanism panel 3 of the gaming machine in this state, the lid body display portion 59, the base body display portion 60 of the board box 8, and the identification mark 61 of the cover member display portion 63 are routinely used. The tampering or the like can be checked by checking the sealing seal 30 through the cover side cover piece 39 of the cover member 38. In addition to this, if the information is read from the IC chip 35 of the seal seal 30 by an external reader, the accuracy of the fraud check of the control device 7 is further improved. In addition, since the sheath part 140 of the lid body 11 is recessed and closed at the back end and is not opened inside the substrate box 8, dust and dust as well as foreign matter do not enter when mounted on the mechanism panel 3.

[Removing the cover member]
Next, a case where the cover member 38 is removed by regular inspection or the like will be described.
As described above, the cover member 38 is firmly joined, and the gap into which the tool is inserted is a gap t between the L-shaped receiving pieces 42 and 42 on both sides of the cover member 38 and the base plates 48 and 48 of the base body 10. Therefore, a large force is applied in the direction of widening the interval t by lever action by inserting a tip of a tool such as a flat-blade screwdriver into the gap t. With this force, the engagement between the key piece 46 and the locking hole 47 is forcibly released, and the cover member 38 is guided almost straight by the fitting of the guide means and the insertion piece 390 and the sheath portion 140 and slides in the removing direction. . As shown in FIG. 16A, the hook pieces 58 and 58 of the cover member 38 and the one-way clutch claws 55 and 55 are reliably engaged with each other by the sliding of the cover member 38 guided almost straight. In the embodiment, as shown in FIG. 1, a barrier 52 is provided that restricts the width of the gap t to such a size that a flat-blade screwdriver can be inserted, and the barrier 52 prevents an easy operation using a coin or the like. It is.

  Next, when the cover member 38 is further slid in the removing direction, the hook pieces 58 and 58 and the one-way clutch claws 55 and 55 are completely engaged with each other as shown in FIG. 17A, and the seal breaking plate 28 is joined together as shown in FIG. 17B. Slide. By the sliding of the seal breaking plate 28, the blade-like portion 57 of the sub-plate portion 54 is guided by the recessed portion 65 and breaks through the sealing seal 30 to surely break the operation stabilizing means 36 of the antenna 37. Break.

  In the embodiment, the sub-plate portion 54 of the seal breaking plate 28 is arranged substantially parallel to the short side of the seal seal 30, so that the operation stabilizing means 36 of the seal seal 30 can be accurately broken by the sub-plate portion 54. It is high. The reason is that, as shown in FIG. 15B, when the sub-plate portion 54 is disposed substantially parallel to the short side of the seal seal 30, any portion within the range of the length L may be cut. However, if the sub-plate portion 54 is disposed substantially parallel to the longitudinal side of the seal seal 30, it is necessary to cut within the range of the length S narrower than that. This has a positive effect on the improvement of workability when the seal seal 30 is attached manually.

  Next, when the cover member 38 is further slid, the blade-like portion 56 of the main plate portion 53 comes into contact with the seal 30 after the sub plate portion 54. Since the seal seal 30 already has a tear in a different direction due to the sub-plate portion 54, the main plate portion 53 breaks relatively easily by dividing into the tear, and it is also reused even when it looks torn in a cross shape Breaks into a difficult state. As a result, as shown in FIGS. 18A, 18 </ b> B, and 19, the seal breaking plate 28 is detached from the storage portion 51 in a state of being integrated with the cover member 38.

  Thereafter, the weakened portion indicated by the symbol z in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the sealing means 19 is broken with a tool such as a nipper, and the lid 11 is removed from the base body 10 and the control board 9 is inspected. . Then, after the inspection is completed, the base body 10 is covered with the cover body 11 and sealed again using the second recessed portions 22b and 22b as described above, and the cover member 38 is attached by replacing with a new seal seal 30. To do.

[Cheating]
In order to remove the cover body 11 from the base body 10 and replace the control board 9 with an unauthorized one, an unauthorized person removes the cover member 38 or destroys the cover member 38 with respect to the control device 7 of the embodiment. There is no other way.
If the cover member 38 is removed, the sealing seal 30 breaks at the position of the operation stabilizing means 36 of the antenna 37 as described above, so that the IC chip 35 does not function and the sealing seal 30 is broken. Furthermore, since the crossed portion is easy to understand visually, and the broken portion is on the rear plate 14 side of the lid body 11, it can be easily found in a posture standing behind the installation state as shown in FIG. In addition, since the broken portion of the seal seal 30 is a portion along the bent portion, reattachment at or near a bent portion even if the seal seal 30 that has been broken is reattached is compared with reattachment on a plane. The cut is easy to float and easy to find.
On the other hand, when the cover member 38 is broken by some means and the seal seal 30 is peeled off with a solvent or the like, it is necessary to procure the cover member 38 from another substrate box 8 and replace it even if the seal seal 30 can be reused. Therefore, the identification mark 61 of the cover member display part 63 of the cover member 38 can be easily found by collating with the identification mark 61 of the cover body display part 59 of the cover body 11.
Therefore, the control apparatus 7 of embodiment has the outstanding crime prevention performance.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated about embodiment, of course, the said embodiment showed the preferable example, and even if it has only a part of structure of embodiment, it exhibits the crime prevention effect outstanding compared with the past. .
Moreover, although the embodiment illustrated a pachinko machine as a gaming machine, it can be similarly applied to a slot machine and other gaming machines.
Further, the sealing means 19 shown in the embodiment is a known example, and the base body 10 and the lid body 11 are sealed in a joined state, and the base body 10 or a part of the lid body 11 is released when the seal is released. As long as it requires the destruction of anything, it may be anything. Further, the combination of the screw 23, the sealing seal 30 and the cover member 38 described in the embodiment is also a kind of sealing means, and therefore the sealing means 19 of the embodiment may not be provided. Of course, as the number of sealing means increases, the crime prevention performance increases.
Further, in the embodiment, the blade-like portions 56 and 57 of the seal breaking plate 28 are blunt blades.

  In the embodiment, the identification mark 61 is provided on the lid body 11, the base body 10, and the cover member 38. However, as shown in FIG. 21, a window portion 66 is formed on the cover member 38, and the window portion 66 is used. A similar identification mark 61 may be displayed on the seal 30. By doing so, the authenticity of the seal seal 30 can also be visually checked.

  Further, in the embodiment, the connecting means for connecting the cover member 38 and the seal breaking plate 28 is formed by the one-way clutch claws 55, 55 and the hook pieces 58, 58. However, for example, as shown in FIG. Any material may be used such as bonding the cover member 38 and the seal breaking plate 28 through the rivet 68 from the through hole 67 formed.
