Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine represented by a slot machine or the like.

  The control board is an important part that controls the contents of the game, and since it is necessary to prevent unauthorized modification or replacement of the control board, it is stored in a board box that can be sealed by a sealing member. It is mounted on a gaming machine.

  The substrate box is provided with a plurality of portions that can be sealed by a sealing member so that the control substrate can be inspected a plurality of times, and can be opened and sealed a plurality of times. Moreover, since a trace remains with the release of sealing, the presence or absence of opening can be confirmed. In this case, since the sealing member may be misappropriated, it is preferable to employ a method in which one sealing member is reused for a plurality of sealable portions.

JP-A-10-314414

  However, even with the above-described method of using a single sealing member, if a board box with no trace of seal release is used, an illegal act of storing and sealing a control board that has been tampered with will be performed. There was a problem that there was a risk of being.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems and the like, and an object thereof is to provide a gaming machine that can suppress an illegal act of disguising a sealing structure.

In order to achieve this object, the gaming machine according to claim 1 includes a first member having a first sealing portion, a second member having a second sealing portion, and the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion. A sealing member that connects and seals the first member and the second member, and is configured so that the first member and the second member can be resealed using the sealing member, The sealing portion is formed as a cylindrical body having different inner diameters, and in the sealed state of the first member and the second member, a plurality of fixing portions to which the sealing member is fitted and fixed on the inner peripheral side, and the fixing portions A connecting portion for connecting the outer peripheral side of the sealing member to the first member, and a convex portion is provided on one surface of the mating surface on the mating surface of the sealing member and the fixing portion, and on the other surface A concave portion for receiving the convex portion is provided, and the first member and the second member are sealed. In the case of releasing, the connecting portion is cut, the sealing member to which the fixing portion is fixed is removed from the first member and the second member, and the sealing member to which the fixing portion is fixed is used. to re-seal the first member and the second member is secured by fitted into the fixing portion of the outermost layer side of said fixing portion which is fixed to the sealing member on the inner peripheral side of a predetermined fixed unit The first member is a substrate box .

According to the gaming machine of the first aspect, the shape of the sealing member after releasing the sealing of the first member and the second member can be made different from the shape before sealing. Therefore, when the removed sealing member is used for sealing another game machine, it can be determined whether or not the sealing member has already been used for sealing. There is an effect that the act can be suppressed.
Further, the mating surface of the sealing member and the fixing portion or the mating surface of the fixing portion and the fixing portion has a convex portion on one surface of the mating surface and a concave portion for receiving the convex portion on the other surface. Therefore, when these fixings are performed using an adhesive, there is an effect that the bonding area can be expanded and the bonding strength can be improved. Moreover, since the relative positional relationship between the sealing member and the fixing part (or the fixing part and the fixing part) can be positioned by fitting the convex part and the concave part, the locking claw part or the predetermined claw part can be used. There is an effect that the locking position can be surely arranged at a desired position. Further, as described above, the convex portion and the concave portion are formed on the mating surface of the sealing member and the fixing portion (or the fixing portion and the fixing portion), for example, the fixing portion fixed to the outer peripheral side of the sealing member. Or, even if it is intended to scrape off the fixed part fixed to the outer peripheral side of the fixed part and collect the sealing member, the convex part or the concave part is scraped off, making it difficult to recover the sealing member. effective.

Further, a pair of left and right speakers 64 for notifying the player of the gaming state are provided in the back of the medal tray 50.

  As shown in FIG. 2, the inside of the housing 11 is divided into two vertically by a partition plate 30, and a reel unit 31 constituting variable display means is attached to the upper portion of the partition plate 30. The reel unit 31 includes a left reel 32L, a middle reel 32M, and a right reel 32R each formed in a cylindrical shape (annular shape). Each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R is rotatably supported so that the central axis thereof is the rotation axis of the reel. The rotation axes of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R are disposed on the same axis extending in the substantially horizontal direction, and the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R correspond to the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R on a one-to-one basis. . Accordingly, a part of the surface of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R is visible through the corresponding display windows 26L, 26M, 26R. Further, when the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R are rotated forward, the surfaces of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R are projected as if moving from top to bottom through the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R.

  Here, the configuration of the reel unit 31 will be briefly described. Each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R is connected to a stepping motor (not shown), and each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R can be individually rotated, that is, independently driven by the driving of each stepping motor. It has a configuration. For example, the stepping motor is set to rotate once by giving a drive signal of 504 pulses (hereinafter also referred to as an excitation pulse), and the rotation position of the stepping motor, that is, the rotation position of the reel is determined by this excitation pulse. Be controlled. In the reel unit 31, a reel index sensor (not shown) for detecting that the reel has made one rotation is installed in each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R. When the reel index sensor detects that the reel has made one rotation, a detection signal is output to the main controller 101 (see FIG. 3) each time the reel is detected. Therefore, main controller 101 determines the angular position of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R for each rotation based on the detection signal of the reel index sensor and the number of excitation pulses output until the detection signal is input. It can be confirmed and corrected.

  On the outer peripheral surface of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R, a plurality of symbols as identification information are drawn in the long side direction (circumferential direction). In the plurality of symbols, 21 symbols are drawn at equal intervals for each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R, and three consecutive symbols among them are the upper, middle, and lower tiers of the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R. Each position is configured to be visible. Therefore, in order to switch the symbol at a predetermined position to the next symbol, it is necessary to output 24 pulses (= 504 pulses / 21 symbols) of excitation pulses. Further, the main control device 101 grasps the symbols visible from the display windows 26L, 26M, and 26R based on the number of excitation pulses output after the detection signal of the reel index sensor is input, or displays the display window. It is possible to perform control to stop a predetermined symbol at a position where it can be visually recognized from 26L, 26M, and 26R.

  In addition, when the symbol is stopped, the effective lines include the upper symbol L1 connecting the upper symbol of the left reel 32L, the upper symbol of the middle reel 32M, the upper symbol of the right reel 32R, the middle symbol of the left reel 32L, and the middle reel. The middle line L2 connecting the middle symbol of 32M and the middle symbol of the right reel 32R, the lower symbol of the left reel 32L, the lower symbol of the middle reel 32M, the lower line L3 connecting the lower symbol of the right reel 32R, and the left reel 32L The lower symbol L4 connecting the upper symbol, the middle symbol of the middle reel 32M, the lower symbol of the right reel 32R, and the lower symbol of the left reel 32L, the middle symbol of the middle reel 32M, and the right symbol of the right reel 32R A rising line L5 is set. Then, when the combination line that has been activated, that is, when the symbols are stopped in a predetermined combination on the activated line, a privilege that a predetermined number of medals are paid out is given as a winning combination, or a privilege that the gaming state is shifted is provided. It has come to be granted.

  The maximum number of combination lines may be 6 or more, or less than 5. Further, the maximum number of combined lines may be changed according to a predetermined condition. For example, a V (reverse V) -shaped line or an L-shaped line may be validated.

  In addition, as a gaming state that shifts when the symbols are arranged on the active line, from the left, “7” symbols, “7” symbols, “7” symbols and the BB winnings when stopped alongside the symbols, If you stop alongside the “Watermelon”, “Watermelon”, and “Watermelon” symbols from the left, a watermelon prize will be established. From the left on the active line, the “Bell”, “Bell”, and “Bell” symbols. In the case of stopping side by side, a bell winning, a “replay” symbol, “replay” from the left on the active line, a replay winning in the case of stopping alongside the symbol “replay” symbol, etc. are exemplified.

  The hopper device 51 includes a storage tank 52 that stores medals, and a payout device 53 that pays out medals to a player. The payout device 53 rotates a medal payout rotating plate (not shown) to discharge the medal to the opening 48a provided in the discharge passage 48, and to the medal tray 50 (see FIG. 1) via the discharge passage 48. The medal is paid out. Further, a reserve tank 54 is provided on the right side of the hopper device 51 to avoid storing a predetermined amount or more of medals in the storage tank 52. Inside the storage tank 52 of the hopper device 51, a guide plate 52a for discharging medals from the storage tank 52 to the reserve tank 54 is provided. Therefore, when medals are stored more than the height at which the guide plate 52 a is provided, the medals are stored in the reserve tank 54.

  A power supply box 70 is provided on the left side of the hopper device 51 inside the housing 11. The power supply box 70 houses a power supply device 91 (see FIG. 18), and includes a power switch 71 and the like. The power switch 71 is a start switch for supplying power to each unit including the main controller 101 described later.

  As shown in FIG. 3, a main control device 101 that manages and manages games is attached to the housing 11 above the reel unit 31. Although details will be described later, the main control device 101 temporarily stores an MPU (Micro Processing Unit) 102 that performs main control, a ROM (Read Only Memory) 105 that stores a game program, and necessary data according to the progress of the game.

It is a part 224, and a lower end (arrow Z direction lower side) is the side wall part 225. In addition, since the rib 226 is provided on substantially the entire back surface part 221, the strength of the box base 211 can be maintained and the twist resistance (or deflection resistance) of the box base 211 can be improved.

  The side wall 222 includes two projecting pieces 227 projecting to the box lid 212 side (left front side in the arrow Y direction), the box base on the side opposite to the box lid 212 (right rear side in the arrow Y direction) from the projecting piece 227 Two rectangular through-holes 228 formed in the left-right direction 211 (direction of arrow X), and four rectangular-shaped through holes 228 formed on the side opposite to the box lid 212 and in the left-right direction of the box base 211 A through hole 229 is provided.

  When the box base 211 and the box lid 212 slide and the substrate box 221 is manufactured, the protruding piece 227 abuts on the concave portion 251 of the box lid 212 and restricts the sliding movement of the box lid 212. When the protruding piece 227 is in contact with the concave portion 251 of the box lid 212, a flat portion is formed by the protruding piece 227 and the concave portion 251. Even if the portion is peeled off after pasting, characters in the original position are formed in this portion. The remaining seal seal (not shown) is affixed.

  The through hole 228 is a hole through which the protruding piece 252 of the box lid 212 is inserted in a state where the substrate box 221 is manufactured.

The movement in the direction away from the direction (arrow Y direction) can be restricted, and since three are provided in the left-right direction, twisting and bending of the box base 211 and the box lid 212 can also be restricted. Therefore, a wire or a thin plate-like tool is inserted from the gap between the box base 211 and the box lid 212, and the occurrence of unauthorized acts such as changing the wiring pattern of the main board 213 or connecting an unauthorized control circuit is suppressed. it can.

  Here, it is not always necessary to provide three through holes 228, and any number of one or two or more may be used, but a plurality of through holes 228 are preferably provided. Since the length of each hole can be shortened compared with the case of forming with one hole, the bending width of each hole can be regulated. In addition, since the protruding piece 252 having a length over almost the entire width of the side wall portion 222 is provided and is inserted through the through hole 228, this insertion portion is a structure for connecting the box base 211 and the box lid 212. The box base 211 and the box lid 212 can be more reliably regulated even if they are provided at positions away from the box.

  The through hole 229 is a hole into which the protruding piece 307 (see FIG. 6) of the mounting base 222 is inserted when the board box 221 is attached to the mounting base 222 (see FIG. 4). When the protruding piece 307 is inserted, the movement of the mounting base 222 and the board box 221 in the direction away from each other (arrow Y direction) can be restricted, and four boards are provided in the left and right directions. The twisting and bending of the base 222 can also be restricted. Therefore, even if the board box 221 is forcibly removed to the near side, the board box 221 can be prevented from being removed from the mounting base 222.

  The side walls 223 and 224 are each provided with four substantially L-shaped base-side locking portions 230 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction (arrow Z direction) of the box base 211. The base side locking portion 230 forms a passage 230a between the back surface portion 221, and when the lid side locking portion 253 of the box lid 212 is inserted into the passage 230a, the box lid 212 and the box base The movement of the box base 211 and the box lid 212 can be restricted, and the movement of the box base 211 and the box lid 212 can be restricted. That is, the occurrence of fraudulent acts on the main board 213 can also be suppressed by the locking portions 230 and 253.

  The side wall 225 has a base-side return sealing portion 231 for sealing the box base 211 and the box lid 212 when the substrate box 221 is returned, and a base-side return sealing portion 231 at the center of the box base 211 in the left-right direction. Two notches 232 are provided on each of the left and right sides, and a notch 232 into which the lid-side coupling portion 255 of the box lid 212 enters, and provided on both left and right sides of the notch 232, and the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are screwed together. A screw insertion portion 233 into which a screw (not shown) to be inserted is inserted, and a base side on which a sealing member 260 that is provided on each of the left and right sides of the screw insertion portion 233 and seals the box base 211 and the box lid 212 is inserted.

Covers 247a and 248a to cover, an opening 249 through which the connector 271 is exposed, and a fixing portion 25 for fixing the connector cover 214 a, and it is configured mainly having a 250b. In addition, by providing the covers 247a and 248a, erroneous operations on the reset switch 72 and the key cylinder 73 can be suppressed.

  The side wall portion 242 is formed at substantially the center in the left-right direction of the box lid 212 and has two concave recesses 251 that abut against the protruding piece 227 of the box base 211, and the box base 211 side (arrow Y direction) from the recess 251 Three protrusions 252 are provided on the right back side and are inserted into the through holes 228 of the box base 211.

  The side walls 243 and 244 are each provided with four substantially L-shaped lid-side locking portions 253 at predetermined intervals in the vertical direction (arrow Z direction) of the box lid 212. The lid-side locking portion 253 forms a passage 253a between the front-side portion 241 and the base-side locking portion 230 of the box base 211 is inserted into the passage 253a. Movement and twisting in a direction away from the box base 211 are restricted.

  The substrate box 221 is manufactured by relatively sliding and matching the box base 211 and the box lid 212. The board box 221 is manufactured by first attaching the main board 213 to the box lid 212 and then aligning the box base 211 and the box lid 212 so that the lid side latching portion 253 and the base side latching portion 230 do not overlap. The box lid 212 (or box base 211) is moved upward in the arrow Z direction (or down in the arrow Z direction) so that the lid side locking portion 253 is inserted into the passage 230a and the base side locking portion 230 is inserted into the passage 253a. Slide to the side). The sliding movement between the box base 211 and the box lid 212 is regulated by the protruding piece 227 and the concave portion 251 as described above.

  The side wall portion 245 has a lid-side return sealing portion 254 that seals the box base 211 and the box lid 212 when the substrate box 221 is returned, and a lid-side return sealing portion 254 at the center of the box lid 212 in the left-right direction. Two on each of the left and right sides of the lid, and a lid side coupling portion 255 into which a coupling member 259 for coupling the substrate box 221 and the mounting base 222 is inserted, and provided on each of the left and right sides of the lid side coupling portion 255. A screw groove 256 to which a screw (not shown) for screwing the box base 211 and the box lid 212 is screwed, and provided on the left and right sides of the screw groove 256, and the box base 211 and the box lid 212 are sealed. The side wall corresponding to the region where the lid side sealing portion 257 into which the sealing member 260 to be inserted is inserted and the lid side coupling portion 255 is disposed A protruding piece 258 is provided projecting downward (arrow Z direction lower side) 245.

  As will be described later, the coupling member 259 couples the substrate box 221 and the mounting base 222 and reseals the box base 211 and the box lid 212. The sealing member 260 includes the box base 211 and the box lid. 212 is sealed.

  The main board 213 includes various electronic components (not shown), a reset switch 72 for resetting the state of the slot machine 10, a key cylinder 73 into which a setting key for changing the setting of the slot machine 10 is inserted, and an external A connector 271 for electrical connection is mounted. The main board 213 is fixed to the box lid 212 side by screws 272, and the connector 271 is exposed to the outside from the opening 249 of the box lid 212.

  The reset switch 72 is a switch for resetting various states of the slot machine 10. This slot machine 10 has a backup function for various data, and even if a power failure occurs, it retains the state at the time of the power failure and returns to the state at the time of the power failure at the time of recovery from power failure (power recovery). It can be done. Therefore, for example, when the power supply is turned off in the normal procedure, such as when the game hall is closed, the state before the turn-off is stored and held. However, if the power switch 71 is turned on while pressing the reset switch 72, the backup data is reset ( Initialized). If the reset switch 72 is pressed while the power switch 71 (see FIG. 2) is on, the error state is reset.

  The key cylinder 73 can be operated by inserting a setting key so that a hall manager or the like can adjust the payout of medals. That is, when the hall manager or the like inserts a setting key into the key cylinder 73 and rotates it, the setting state of the slot machine 10 (setting of the winning probability of each winning mode) is changed from “Setting 1” to “Setting 6”. It can be changed. When the setting state is set to “setting 1”, the lottery of the winning mode (role) is performed so that the expected value of the medal payout number is the lowest, and when the setting state is set to “setting 6”, The lottery of the winning mode is performed so that the expected value of the medal payout number is the highest. The reset switch 72 is operated not only when resetting the error state but also when changing the setting state of the slot machine 10.

  The connector cover 214 covers the connector 271 exposed from the opening 249. The connector cover 214 is configured to be fixed to the box lid 212 by inserting one end into the fixing portion 250b of the box lid 212 and rotating to the box lid 212 side and being locked by the fixing portion 250a. .

  Further, the connector cover 214 is formed with a through hole 273 penetrating in the left-right direction. When the connector cover 214 is fixed to the box lid 212, the through hole 273 passes below the protruding portion of the fixed portion 250a. A passage is formed. Therefore, when the connector cover 214 is fixed to the box lid 212 and the band is connected to the through hole 273, the connector cover 214 can be prevented from being removed (or removed by impact). In order to remove the connector cover 214, it is necessary to cut the band. Therefore, since the work is increased by that amount, it is possible to prevent the connector cover 214 from being removed illegally.

  As shown in FIG. 6, the mounting base 222 includes a fixed base 281 fixed to the housing 11 (see FIG. 2) side, a swing base 282 pivotally attached to the fixed base 281, The reinforcing member 283 is fixed to the swing base 282 and is pivotally attached to the fixed base 281 so as to be swingable.

  In this embodiment, the fixed base 281 is made of a metal material, and includes a back surface portion 291 that forms the back surface side (the right rear side in the arrow Y direction) of the fixed base 281 and a lower end of the back surface portion 291 (in the arrow Z direction). From the left and right sides of the back surface portion 291, the standing wall portion 292 erected on the lower side, the concave concave portion 293 formed in the middle of the right and left direction (arrow X direction) of the fixed base 281 and in the vicinity of the standing wall portion 292. A locking claw 294 that protrudes to the swing base 282 side (left front side in the direction of the arrow Y) and can lock the swing base 282, and an insertion hole that is formed at both left and right ends of the standing wall 292 and into which the shaft 295 is inserted. 296. The fixed base 281 is made of a metal material, but may be a resin material or a wood as long as the material is harder than the swing base 282 and the substrate box 221. Further, even if the material is softer than the swing base 282 and the substrate box 221, it is sufficient if the material has a certain strength or more depending on the thickness and shape of the material. For example, even when the material is the same as that of the substrate box 221, the thickness is twice or more the thickness of the substrate box 221. That is, as compared with the case where a member to be reinforced is not attached to the fixed base 281, if the fixed base 281 is not bent, it corresponds to a reinforcing member.

  The swing base 282 stands on the back surface portion 301 that forms the back side of the swing base 282, and on the left and right sides (both sides in the arrow X direction) of the back surface portion 301 on the anti-fixed base 281 side (the front side in the arrow Y direction). The side wall portions 302 and 303 are mainly provided, the side wall portion 304 is erected on the side opposite to the fixed base 281 below the back surface portion 301, and the opening 305 in the region surrounded by the side wall portions 302 to 304 is mainly provided. Configured. The opening 305 is an entrance / exit when the substrate box 221 is attached by sliding. Further, the swing base is basically formed of a transparent resin, so that the back surface of the substrate box and the back surface of the substrate can be visually recognized.

  The back surface portion 301 includes four attachment-side coupling portions 306 that are formed in the middle of the swing base 282 in the left-right direction and in the vicinity of the side wall portion 304 and to which the coupling member 259 (see FIG. 5) is locked. The four protruding pieces 307 that protrude further upward (upward in the arrow Z direction) from the upper end of the portion 301 and are inserted into the through hole 229 (see FIG. 5) of the box base 211 are provided between the protruding pieces 307. A lock unit 308 that locks the substrate box 221 is provided. The attachment side coupling member 306 is formed in a convex shape on both sides (both sides in the arrow Y direction) of the back surface 301 on the fixed base 281 side and the reinforcing member 283 side, and is accommodated in the concave portion 293 of the fixed base 281. It is comprised so that. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the attachment-side coupling portion 306 from being illegally destroyed by covering the attachment-side coupling portion 306 with the metal fixed base 281.

  On the reinforcing member 283 side (the left front side in the direction of arrow Y) of the side wall portions 302 and 303, a pressing piece 309 protruding inwardly facing each other is provided. The pressing piece 309 is a member that restricts the movement of the board box 221 in a direction away from the mounting base 222 in a state where the board box 221 is attached to the mounting base 222. The side wall portion 303 is also provided with a screw insertion portion 310 for screwing the substrate box 221. Therefore, even if the board box 221 is forcibly removed to the front side, the removal can be suppressed by the screw inserted into the screw insertion portion 310, and the removal can also be suppressed by the pressing piece 309.

  The side wall portion 304 is formed at substantially the center in the left-right direction of the swing base 282 and through holes 311 through which the protruding portions 258 (see FIG. 5) of the box lid 212 are inserted, and at both ends in the left-right direction. In addition, a shaft attachment portion 312 for attaching the swing base 282 to the fixed base 281 by a shaft 295 is provided. Further, the side wall portion 304 is provided with restricting portions 313 at both ends in the left-right direction, and the swinging range of the swing base 282 is fixed when the restricting portions 313 abut against the standing wall portion 292 of the fixed base 281. The base 281 is configured to have an acute angle.

  Further, a notch 314 is formed on both the left and right sides of the attachment side coupling portion 306 from the side wall portion 304 to the back surface portion 301, and the upper end of the notch 314, that is, above the back surface portion 301 of the notch 314 (arrow) A screwed portion 315 having a screw groove is formed at an end located on the upper side in the Z direction. The screw part 315 is a part to which a screw (not shown) is screwed when the reinforcing member 283 is fixed to the swing base 282.

  In this embodiment, the reinforcing member 283 is formed in a substantially L shape from a metal material. The reinforcing member 283 is formed in the center of the back plate 321 in contact with the back surface portion 301 of the swing base 282 and the left and right direction (arrow X direction) of the back plate 321 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 of the swing base 282. A through hole 322 that surrounds the screw hole 322, screw fixing portions 323 that are formed on the left and right sides of the through hole 322 and screwed to the screwing portion 315 of the swing base 282, and a side wall portion 304 of the swing base 282. The side wall plate 324 that abuts, the through hole 325 that is formed substantially at the center of the side wall plate 324 and through which the protruding portion 258 (see FIG. 5) of the box lid 212 is inserted, and the left and right ends of the side wall plate 324 are formed. And an insertion hole 326 into which the shaft 295 is inserted. Since the insertion hole 326 is located between the pivoting portion 312 of the swing base 282 and the insertion hole 296 of the fixed base 281, it also functions as a reinforcing member for the swing base 282 made of a resin material.

  The reinforcing member 283 is provided mainly for the purpose of reinforcement at the time of swinging of the swing base 282 and reinforcement for suppressing breakage of the attachment side coupling portion 306. Therefore, the reinforcing member 283 needs to be disposed on the lower end side of the fixed base 281 and the swing base 282. And since the attachment side coupling | bond part 306 is arrange | positioned at the insertion direction front end side of the board | substrate box 221, both reinforcement | strengthening at the time of the rocking | swiveling base 282 rocking and reinforcement of the attachment side coupling | bond part 306 are carried out. This can be performed on the lower end side of the fixed base 281 and the swing base 282. Therefore, while the size (area) of the reinforcing member 283 is reduced, it is possible to reinforce the swing base 282 and to reinforce the attachment side coupling portion 306, thereby reducing the cost.

In many cases, the rear end side of the board box 221 in the insertion direction is a position where the operator can easily operate since the board box 221 is inserted. Therefore, when the attachment side coupling portion 306 is disposed on the rear end side in the insertion direction of the board box 221, the lid side coupling portion 255 (see FIG. 5) and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are also easily operated. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are illegally destroyed. However, since the attachment side coupling portion 306 is disposed on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the board box 221, it is possible to suppress the lid side coupling portion 255 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being easily operated by an unauthorized person. .
In consideration of the case where the coupling member 259 is pulled out around the periphery of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the attachment side coupling portion 206 is disposed on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the board box 221. The bending width of the swing base 282 required for pulling out the coupling member 259 is arranged at the distal end side in the insertion direction than when the attachment side coupling portion 306 is disposed at the rear end side in the insertion direction of the board box 221. Because there are more cases where it is, fraudulent persons are less likely to cheat. Further, the greater the amount of bending, the higher the possibility that the swing base 282 will be destroyed, so that it is possible to easily find out that there has been an illegal act. In addition, since the reinforcing member 283 is provided over almost the entire region of the swing base 282 in the left-right direction, twisting and bending of the swing base 282 can be suppressed. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the swing base 282 from being twisted or bent and the connection of the attachment side coupling portion 306 with the coupling member 259 being released without destroying the attachment side coupling portion 306. Further, when only the vicinity of the attachment side coupling portion 306 is destroyed and the substrate box 221 is removed, and then the substrate box 221 is attached, it is difficult to confirm whether or not the substrate box 221 has been removed from the front side. However, since the attachment side coupling portion 306 is surrounded by the reinforcing member 283, it is not possible to bend only the attachment side coupling portion 306 by bending the swing base 282. Therefore, unauthorized removal of the board box 221 can be suppressed. In addition, since the reinforcing member 283 is provided over substantially the entire region in the left-right direction of the swing base 282, the back side of each sealing portion 234, 257 (see FIG. 5) can be covered. Therefore, since the contact from the back side to the sealing member 260 (refer FIG. 5) and each sealing part 234,257 can be suppressed, the sealing state of each sealing part 234,257 by the sealing member 260 may also be cancelled | released illegally. Can be suppressed.

  Further, the reinforcing member 283 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are covered with the substrate box 221 when the substrate box 221 is attached to the attachment base 222. Therefore, since direct contact with the reinforcing member 283 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 can be suppressed, it is possible to prevent the reinforcement member 283 from being illegally removed or the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being illegally destroyed.

  The mounting base 222 is assembled by first fitting the reinforcing member 283 to the swing base 282 and then screwing the screw from below the back side of the swing base 282 (from the direction indicated by arrow B in FIG. 6). Then, the swing base 282 and the reinforcing member 283 are fixed. Then, in a state where the swing base 282 and the reinforcing member 283 are integrated, the shaft 295 is passed through the insertion hole 296 of the fixed base 281 and the insertion hole 326 of the reinforcing member 283, and the pivoting portion 312 of the swing base 282 is inserted. Attached to the center.

  As shown in FIG. 7, in the mounting base 222, when the fixed base 281, the swing base 282, and the reinforcing member 283 are assembled, the range in which the swing base 282 swings with respect to the fixed base 281 is restricted. The swing range of the swing base 282 is a range indicated by an arrow C, and is an acute angle with respect to the fixed base 281. The rocking base 282 and the reinforcing member 283 are fixed by inserting a screw from below the back surface of the rocking base 282. Therefore, a tool such as a screwdriver is inserted between the fixed base 281 and the rocking base 282. It is possible to prevent the reinforcing member 283 from being removed. Therefore, since the removal of the reinforcing member 283 surrounding the attachment side coupling portion 306 can be suppressed, it is possible to suppress the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being destroyed and illegally removing the board box 221 from the attachment base 222.

  Next, with reference to FIGS. 8 to 16, the coupling member 259 and the coupling portions 255 and 306 will be described. 8 is an enlarged perspective view of the coupling member 259, FIG. 8A is a perspective view of the state in which the coupling member 259 is disassembled, and FIG. 8B is a diagram in which the coupling member 259 is coupled.

It is formed with a narrower width (see FIG. 9) than other portions. A first insertion groove 261 a into which the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343 (see FIG. 8) of the coupling member 259 is inserted is opposed to one of the pair of first connection portions 3262 on the inner peripheral surface of the first recess 261. In the position, it is recessed along the axial direction of the first recess 261. The first insertion groove 261a extends to a position exceeding the upper surface of the bottom wall 263, and a part of the bottom wall 263 is recessed by the first insertion groove 261a.

A second through hole 273a having a circular shape in front view is formed through the second bottom wall 273 so that the second cylindrical portion 342 (see FIG. 8) of the coupling member 259 can be inserted therethrough. Note that the inner diameter of the second recess 271 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first recess 261, so that the first recess 261 can be fitted inside the second recess 271 and can be fixed by an adhesive. It is configured (see FIG. 16).

  The pair of second connecting portions 272 are linearly formed along a virtual line (the vertical direction in FIG. 9) passing through the axis of the second recessed portion 271, and a portion connected to the outer peripheral surface of the second recessed portion 271 is formed. It is formed with a narrower width (see FIG. 9) than other portions. On the inner peripheral surface of the second recess 271, the second insertion groove 271 a into which the first insertion protrusion 261 b of the first recess 261 is inserted is at a position where the phase is shifted by 90 degrees with respect to the pair of second connection portions 272. It is recessed.

  In addition, on the inner peripheral surface of the second recess 271, the first connection portion 3262 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the first recess 261 when the pair of first connection portions 3262 is cut and the first recess 261 is removed. A pair of second connection receiving portions 271 b for receiving is recessed at positions facing the pair of second connection portions 272.

  The extending lengths of the second insertion groove 271a and the second connection receiving portion 271b (the length in the axial direction (the vertical direction in FIGS. 10 and 11) of the second recess 271) are the first insertion protrusion 261a and the first insertion length. It is equal to or slightly larger than the height dimension of the connecting wall 262 (the length of the first recess 261 in the axial direction (the vertical direction in FIGS. 10 and 11)). The depth dimension of the second recess 271 (the dimension from the upper end surface of the second recess 271 to the upper surface of the bottom wall 273) is the height dimension of the first recess 261 (from the upper end surface of the first recess 261 to the bottom wall 263). The dimension up to the bottom of) is equal to or slightly larger. Thereby, when the 1st recessed part 261 is fitted in the 2nd recessed part 271, it can suppress that the upper end face of the 1st recessed part 261 protrudes from the upper end face of the 2nd recessed part 271. FIG. As a result, the first recess 261 can be made difficult to be pulled out.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the second recess 271, the second insertion protrusion 271 c inserted into the third insertion groove 281 a of the lid-side return seal 254 has a phase shifted by 90 degrees with respect to the pair of second connection portions 272.

The upper surface side (the front side in FIG. 9) is opened and the bottom surface side (the rear surface in FIG. 9) is opened. A third bottom wall 283 is formed to project inward. A third through hole 283a having a circular shape in front view is formed through the third bottom wall 283 so that the second cylindrical portion 342 (see FIG. 8) of the coupling member 259 can be inserted therethrough. The inner diameter of the third recess 281 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second recess 271 so that the second recess 271 can be fitted inside the third recess 281 and can be fixed by an adhesive. It is configured (see FIG. 17).

  The pair of third connecting portions 282 are formed in a straight line along an imaginary line (the left-right direction in FIG. 9) that passes through the axis of the third recess 281. A third insertion groove 281a into which the second insertion protrusion 271c of the second recess 271 is inserted is recessed on the inner peripheral surface of the third recess 281 at a position facing one of the pair of third connection portions 282.

  Next, the attachment coupling portion 306 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 12 is a partially enlarged front view of the swing base 282. The attachment coupling portion 306 is formed as a hollow box-like body so that the coupling member 259 can be inserted, and penetrates the upper wall 406 constituting the front side (front side in FIG. 12) of the box-like body. A hole 404 is formed, and a notch 405 is notched at a part of the inner edge of the through hole 404. The through hole 404 is an opening through which the coupling member 259 is inserted, and is formed in a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front. The notch 405 is a part through which the locking claw 349 passes when the coupling member 259 is removed, and has a larger outer shape than the locking claw 349. In addition, the notch 405 is located at a position shifted by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction with respect to the locking claw 349 in a state where the coupling member 259 is coupled to the attachment side coupling portion 306 (that is, most separated from the locking claw 349). The connecting member 259 is difficult to remove.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 13, a method for coupling and sealing the substrate box 221 and the mounting base 222 by the coupling member 259 will be described. FIG. 13 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 220. FIG. 13A shows a state before the first recess 261 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are coupled by the coupling member 259, and FIG. FIG. 13C shows a state in which the first recess 261 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are coupled only by the cylindrical member 331, and FIG. 13C shows a state in which the first recess 261 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are sealed by the coupling member 259. Has been. 13 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. Moreover, in FIG. 13, in order to simplify drawing and to make an understanding easy, only a part of structure is attached | subjected and demonstrated.

  As described above, when the board box 221 is slid and attached to the attachment base 222, the lid-side coupling portion 255 (first recess 261) and the attachment-side coupling portion 306 are disposed at positions facing each other. (State of FIG. 13A). In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the first recess 261 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder member 331, and the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343 (see FIG. 8) The cylindrical member 331 is pushed into the first recess 261 at a position where it is inserted into the first insertion groove 261a. At this time, the locking claw 349 is pushed by the inner peripheral surface of the first recess 261 and swings in the axial direction. When the cylindrical member 331 is further pushed in and the locking claw 349 passes through the through hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the locking claw 349 is swung to the outside in the radial direction of the cylindrical member 331 by the swinging portion 348, and the mounting coupling The cylindrical member 331 is fixed to the first recess 261 while being locked to the upper wall 406 of the portion 306 (state shown in FIG. 13B).

  Then, the insertion member 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331 at a position where the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8) is inserted into the first notch 344 (see FIG. 8). At this time, the locking claw 357 (see FIG. 8) is pushed by the inner wall of the cylindrical member 331 and swings in the axial direction. When the insertion member 332 is further pushed in and the locking claw 357 reaches the second notch 345, the locking claw 357 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the insertion member 332 by the swinging portion 356, and the locking claw 357 is moved. And the second notch 345 are locked (state shown in FIG. 13C).

  In this case, the coupling member 259 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction by the engagement between the first insertion groove 261a and the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343, so that the locking claw 349 of the cylinder member 331 is attached to the attachment-side coupling portion 306. Rotation to a position corresponding to the notch 405 is restricted, and it is possible to prevent the first concave portion 261 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being uncoupled.

  Further, the locking claw 349 of the cylindrical member 331 is restricted from swinging in the axial direction because the insertion member 332 is inserted into the cylindrical member 331. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the engagement between the locking claw 349 and the upper wall 406 due to the locking claw 349 swinging in the axial direction due to an illegal act. As a result, it can suppress that the coupling member 259 is pulled out.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 14 and FIG. 15, a method for releasing the sealing of the board box 221 and the mounting base 222 sealed by the coupling member 259 will be described. FIG. 14A is a partially enlarged front view of the board unit 220, and FIG. 14B is a partially enlarged rear view of the upper wall 406 of the attachment side coupling portion 306. FIG. 15 is a partially enlarged cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 220. 14A and 14B show a state where the first connecting portion 262 is cut and the coupling member 259 is rotated by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction. FIG. 15 corresponds to the cross-sectional view taken along the line XX of FIG. 9 and shows a state in which the coupling member 259 having the first recess 261 fixed to the outer peripheral side is removed.

  As described above, the coupling member 259 is configured to be non-detachable in a state where it is coupled by the first recess 261 and the attachment side coupling portion 306. Therefore, in order to release the coupling between the board box 221 and the attachment base 222, The pair of first connecting portions 262 that connect the main body portion of the box lid 212 and the first concave portion 261 are cut (broken) with a tool such as a nipper. When the first connecting portion 262 is cut, the coupling member 259 can rotate in the circumferential direction together with the first concave portion 261. Therefore, the coupling member 259 and the first concave portion 261 are rotated by 90 degrees while being in an integrated state. The pawl 349 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 405 (state shown in FIGS. 14A and 14B). Accordingly, the first recess 261 and the coupling member 259 to which the first recess 261 is fixed (adhered) can be integrally pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 306 (state of FIG. 15). When the first recess 261 and the coupling member 259 are pulled out, the seal between the board box 221 and the mounting base 222 is released, and the board box 221 slides and can be detached from the mounting base 222. As described above, when the board box 221 is removed from the mounting base 222, the first connecting portion 262 is broken by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 221 has been removed. Can do.

  The first recess 261 and the coupling member 259 in the pulled-out state are such that the latching claw 357 of the insertion member 332 is exposed at the distal end side in the insertion direction of the coupling member 259. By releasing the locking of the tubular member 331 with the second notch 345 while pressing in the direction, the insertion member 332 can be pulled out from the tubular member 331 (see FIG. 16).

  Next, referring to FIG. 16, the board member 221 and the mounting base 222 are joined by coupling the second recess 271 and the mounting side coupling section 306 using the coupling member 259 recovered along with the release of the seal. A method for resealing will be described. FIG. 16 is a partial cross-sectional view of the board unit 220. FIG. 16A shows a state before the second recess 271 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are coupled by the first recess 261 and the coupling member 259. FIG. FIG. 16B shows a state in which the second concave portion 271 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are coupled only by the first concave portion 261 and the cylindrical member 331, and FIG. 16C shows that the second concave portion 271 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are the first. The states sealed by the recess 261 and the coupling member 259 are respectively shown. 16 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. Further, in FIG. 16, in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding, only some components will be described with reference numerals.

  When re-sealing after opening the substrate unit 220, as described above, the substrate box 221 is attached to the attachment base 222 by sliding and attaching to the lid side coupling portion 255 (second recess 271). The side coupling portion 306 is disposed at a position facing the side coupling portion 306 (state shown in FIG. 16A). In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the second concave portion 271 and the outer peripheral surface of the first concave portion 261 fixed to the cylindrical member 331, and the second insertion of the second concave portion 271 is performed. The first insertion protrusion 261b of the first recess 261 in the groove 271a and the first connection part 262 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the first recess 261 in the second connection receiving part 271b of the second recess 271 (see FIG. 14A) However, the first concave portion 261 and the cylindrical member 331 are pushed into the second concave portion 271 at the respective insertion positions.

  At this time, the locking claw 349 is pushed by the through hole 273a in the bottom wall 273 of the second recess 271 and swings in the axial direction. When the cylindrical member 331 is further pushed in and the locking claw 349 passes through the through hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the locking claw 349 is swung to the outside in the radial direction of the cylindrical member 331 by the swinging portion 348, and the mounting coupling is performed. The first recessed portion 261 is fixed to the second recessed portion 271 while being locked to the upper wall 406 of the portion 306 (state shown in FIG. 16B).

  As in the case of the first sealing described above (see FIG. 13), the insertion member is inserted at the position where the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8) is inserted into the first notch 344 (see FIG. 8). 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331. At this time, the locking claw 357 (see FIG. 8) is pushed by the inner wall of the cylindrical member 331 and swings in the axial direction. When the insertion member 332 is further pushed in and the locking claw 357 reaches the second notch 345, the locking claw 357 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the insertion member 332 by the swinging portion 356, and the locking claw 357 is moved. And the second notch 345 are locked (state shown in FIG. 16C).

  In this case, in the coupling member 259, the cylinder side insertion protrusion 343 is engaged with the first insertion groove 261a of the first recess 261, and the first insertion protrusion 261b of the first recess 261 is the second of the second recess 271. Since the rotation in the circumferential direction is restricted by being fitted in the insertion groove 271a, the rotation of the locking claw 349 of the cylindrical member 331 to the position corresponding to the notch 405 of the attachment side coupling portion 306 is restricted. Thus, it is possible to prevent the coupling between the second concave portion 271 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being released.

  Further, the locking claw 349 of the cylindrical member 331 is restricted from swinging in the axial direction because the insertion member 332 is inserted into the cylindrical member 331. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the engagement between the locking claw 349 and the upper wall 406 due to the locking claw 349 swinging in the axial direction due to an illegal act. As a result, it can suppress that the coupling member 259 is pulled out.

  In this case, in order to release the connection between the board box 221 and the mounting base 222, the pair of second connecting portions 272 for connecting the main body portion of the box lid 212 and the second recessed portion 271 are formed with a tool such as a nipper. Cut (break). When the second connecting portion 272 is cut, the coupling member 259 can be rotated in the circumferential direction together with the first concave portion 261 and the second concave portion 271. Therefore, the coupling member 259 and the first concave portion 261 and the second concave portion 271 are integrated. In this state, it is rotated by 90 degrees, and the locking claw 349 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 405 (see FIGS. 14A and 14B). Accordingly, the second concave portion 271 and the first concave portion 261 to which the second concave portion 271 is fixed (adhered) and the coupling member 259 can be pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 306 as a unit. When the second concave portion 271, the first concave portion 261, and the coupling member 259 are pulled out in an integrated state, the resealing between the board box 221 and the mounting base 222 is released, and the board box 221 slides to move the mounting base. 222 becomes removable. As described above, when the board box 221 is removed from the mounting base 222, the second connecting portion 272 is broken by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 221 has been removed. Can do.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 17, a method for sealing the substrate box 221 using the coupling member 259 recovered with the release of the reseal will be described. FIG. 17 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 220, in which the substrate box 221 is sealed by the first recess 261, the second recess 271 and the coupling member 259. FIG. 17 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XX in FIG. Moreover, in FIG. 17, in order to simplify drawing and to make it easy to understand, only a part of structure is attached | subjected and demonstrated.

  When sealing the substrate box 221 (the box base 211 and the box lid 212), the base-side return sealing portion 231 and the third recess 281 are fixed, and the first recess 261 and the second recess 271 are fixed to the outer peripheral side. Coupled by a coupling member 259. That is, as described above, by releasing the first seal between the substrate box 221 and the mounting base 222, the coupling member 259 having the first recess 261 fixed to the outer peripheral side is recovered (see FIG. 15), By releasing the second seal (reseal) between the box 221 and the mounting base 222, the coupling member 259 having the first recess 261 and the second recess 271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is recovered.

  As described above, the coupling member 259 recovered by releasing the reseal and having the first concave portion 261 and the second concave portion 271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is engaged with the insertion member 332 on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the coupling member 259. Since the pawl 357 is exposed, the inner member 332 is pulled out of the cylindrical member 331 by releasing the locking of the cylindrical member 331 with the second notch 345 while pressing the locking pawl 357 in the axial direction. .

  When the substrate box 221 is assembled, the lid-side return sealing portion 254 (third recess 281) and the base-side return sealing portion 231 are disposed at positions facing each other, so the second insertion protrusion 271c of the second recess 271 is disposed. Is inserted into the third insertion groove 281a (see FIGS. 9 and 10) of the third recess 281 and the cylindrical member 331 having the first recess 261 and the second recess 271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is connected to the third recess 281. The locking claw 349 is locked to the upper wall of the base-side return seal 231. Then, the insertion member 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331 at a position where the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8) is inserted into the first notch 344 (see FIG. 8). As a result, the locking claw 349 of the cylindrical member 331 is locked to the upper wall of the base-side return seal portion 231, and the lid-side return seal portion 254 (third recess 281) and the base-side return seal portion 231 are connected. Sealed.

  In this case, the base-side return sealing portion 231 is formed in a sealed shape so that the locking claws 349 and 355 of the coupling member 259 cannot be unlocked. Therefore, the coupling member 259 can seal the board box 221 so that it cannot be opened when the board box 221 is sent back to the manufacturer for repair of the main board 213 (see FIG. 5). It can be suppressed that the board box 221 falls apart and the components are lost during the return process.

  Further, the coupling member 259 is configured to be reusable, but only one board member 220 is provided in the board unit 220. And since it is used also at the time of return to a maker and is returned to a maker, it can also suppress that the coupling member 259 distribute | circulates to a market. Therefore, when the coupling member 259 is distributed in the market, for example, when one substrate box is illegally manufactured from two substrate boxes, it is possible to prevent the coupling member 259 from being used.

  Further, when the substrate box 221 sealed by the coupling member 259 is opened through the return sealing portions 231 and 254, the third connecting portion 282 must be cut with a tool such as a nipper. Even when the substrate box 221 is opened in the middle of returning, a trace remains, and the opening of the substrate box 221 can be found.

  In particular, since the first concave portion 261 and the second concave portion 271 are fixed to the coupling member 259 with an adhesive, it is difficult to remove the first concave portion 261 and the second concave portion 271, and no trace remains on the coupling member 259. It is possible to prevent recovery.

  Next, the electrical configuration of the slot machine 10 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 18 is a block diagram showing an electrical configuration of the slot machine 10.

  The main controller 101 is equipped with a microcomputer centering on the MPU 102 which is an arithmetic processing means. In addition to the power supply device 91, the MPU 102 is connected to a clock circuit 103 that outputs a rectangular wave having a predetermined frequency, an input / output port 104, and the like via an internal bus. The main control device 101 functions as a main board built in the slot machine 10.

  On the input side of the main controller 101, a reel unit 31 (more specifically, a reel index sensor that individually detects that each of the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R has made one rotation) and a start detection sensor that detects an operation of the start lever 41 are provided. 41a, stop detection sensors 42a to 44a for individually detecting the operations of the stop switches 42 to 44, inserted medal detection sensors 45a for detecting medals inserted from the medal insertion slot 45 (see FIG. 1), and paid out from the hopper device 51. The payout detection sensor 51a for detecting the medals, the credit insertion detection sensors 56a and 57a for individually detecting the operations of the credit insertion switches 56 and 57, the adjustment detection sensor 58a for detecting the operation of the adjustment switch 58, and the operation of the reset switch 72. Reset detection sensor 72a for detecting the key Various sensors such as a setting key detection sensor 73 a for detecting that the setting key is inserted into the Linda 73 (see FIG. 5) and turned on are connected, and signals from these various sensors are connected via the input / output port 104. Are output to the MPU 102.

  A power supply device 91 is connected to the input side of the main control device 101 via an input / output port 104. The power supply device 91 includes a power supply unit 91 a that supplies driving power to the electronic devices of the slot machine 10 including the main control device 101, a power failure monitoring circuit 91 b, and the like.

  The power failure monitoring circuit 91b monitors the power shut-off state and generates a power failure signal not only at the time of power failure but also at the time of power failure by the power switch 71 (see FIG. 2). For this reason, the power failure monitoring circuit 91b monitors the stabilized drive voltage of 12 VDC in this example output from the power supply unit 91a, and determines that the power supply has been shut off when this drive voltage drops below, for example, 10 volts. Power outage signal is output. The power failure signal is supplied to each of the MPU 102 and the input / output port 104, and the MPU 102 recognizes this power failure signal and executes a power failure process described later. The power failure signal is also supplied to the display control device 81.

  The power supply unit 91a is configured to output a stabilized voltage of 5 volts that is used as a drive voltage in a control system such as the main controller 101 even when the output voltage drops below 10 volts. As a time for outputting the stabilization voltage, a time sufficient for executing the power failure process by the main controller 101 is secured.

  On the output side of the main controller 101, a reel unit 31 (more specifically, a stepping motor for rotating the reels 32L, 32M, and 32R), a medal path switching solenoid 46a provided in the selector 46 (see FIG. 2), Information is sent to the hopper device 51, the credit display unit 60 (see FIG. 1), the remaining payout number display unit 61 (see FIG. 1), the payout number display unit 62 (see FIG. 1), the display control device 81, the hall management device not shown. Are connected via the input / output port 104.

  The display control device 81 is a control device for driving the upper lamp 63, the speaker 64, and the auxiliary display unit 65, and includes a substrate on which MPU, ROM, RAM, and the like for driving these are integrated. Then, after receiving a signal from the main controller 101, the display controller 81 independently controls the upper lamp 63, the speaker 64, and the auxiliary display unit 65. Therefore, the display control device 81 is a sub-base for executing auxiliary control in relation to the main control device 101 which is a main base for overall management of games. Various display units 60 to 62 may be configured to be driven and controlled by the display control device 81.

  The above-described MPU 102 includes a ROM 105 that stores various control programs executed by the MPU 102 and fixed value data, and a work area that temporarily stores various data when executing the control program stored in the ROM 105. A RAM 106 for securing and a free-run counter 107 for generating random numbers are incorporated. The MPU 102 also includes various processing circuits necessary for the slot machine 10, such as an interrupt circuit, a timer circuit, a data transmission / reception circuit, and various counters such as a credit counter for counting the number of credits, as is well known. Built in.

  The free-run counter 107 is a counter configured by hardware that generates and updates random numbers from 0 to 65535 in a short cycle. After confirming the operation of the start lever 41 based on the output signal of the start detection sensor 41a, the MPU 102 latches the value of the free-run counter 107 by a hardware circuit and stores the latched value in the RAM 106. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to quickly acquire a random number at the timing when the start lever 41 is operated, and it is possible to avoid occurrence of problems such as synchronization. The hardware circuit of the slot machine 10 is configured to latch the value of the free run counter 107 each time the start lever 41 is operated. The value of the free-run counter latched and stored in the RAM 106 is used to draw a winning mode (combination) of a game started by operating the start lever 41.

  The ROM 105 and the RAM 106 constitute a main memory as a storage unit, and a program for executing various processes is stored in the ROM 105 as a part of the control program. In addition, the ROM 105 is provided with a lottery table storage area 105a for storing a lottery table used for lottery in a winning mode.

  The RAM 106 is configured to retain (backup) data by being supplied with a backup voltage from the power supply device 91 even after the power to the slot machine 10 is cut off. In the RAM 106, a memory for temporarily storing various data, a winning flag storage area 106a for storing a lottery result of a combination, and a sliding table used when stop control of each reel 32L, 32M, 32R is performed. In addition to the sliding table storage area 106b for storing the game information, the status information storage area 106c for storing the gaming status such as the bonus status, a backup area is provided.

  The backup area is an area for storing the value of the stack pointer when the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like (including power shutdown by operating the power switch 71; the same applies hereinafter). Yes, when the power failure is resolved (including power-on by operating the power switch 71; the same applies hereinafter), the state of the slot machine 10 can be restored to the state before power-off based on the backup area information. . Writing to the backup area is executed when the power is cut off by the power failure process, and restoration of each value written to the backup area is executed in the main process when the power is turned on.

  Further, the power failure signal from the power failure monitoring circuit 91b is input to the NMI terminal (non-maskable interrupt terminal) of the MPU 102 when the power is shut down due to the occurrence of a power failure or the like. When the power is shut off, an NMI interrupt process as a power failure flag generation process is immediately executed.

  Next, each control process executed by the MPU 102 of the main control apparatus 101 will be described. The processing of the MPU 102 is roughly divided into a main processing that is started when the power is turned on, a timer interrupt processing that is started periodically (in this embodiment, at a cycle of 1.49 msec), and a power failure signal to the NMI terminal. There is an NMI interrupt process activated in response to an input. In the timer interrupt process, a process for monitoring various sensor inputs and a process for executing output to a stepping motor, lamp, speaker, etc. are executed. In the NMI interrupt process, when a power failure signal is input, the game contents Is stored in a backup area (not shown) of the RAM 106.

  Next, normal processing executed by the MPU 102 of the main controller 101 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 19 is a flowchart showing normal processing executed by the MPU 102 of the main control device 101.

  The normal process is a process for performing main control related to the game. When the normal process is executed by the MPU 102, first, an interrupt permission process for permitting the next timer interrupt is performed (S201), and then the game can be performed. A pre-start process is performed for this (S202). In this pre-start process, the process waits until the display control device 81 and the like finish initialization. When the initialization of the display control device 81 or the like is completed, the game management process shown in the subsequent S203 to S213 is performed.

  As the game management process, first, in the process of S203, data such as various game information stored in the RAM 106 (for example, random numbers used in the previous game, each winning flag indicating winning of each winning except for the BB winning), and the like. Clear and start wait processing is performed in the subsequent processing of S204.

  In the start waiting process of S204, it is determined whether or not a replay winning has been established in the previous game, and if a replay winning has been established, an automatic inserting process of automatically inserting the same number of virtual medals as the previous bet. To complete the start wait process. In the automatic insertion process, virtual medals are inserted without reducing the number of virtual medals displayed on the credit display unit 60. That is, when a replay winning is established in the previous game, the player can play this game without reducing the number of medals owned and without inserting medals.

  On the other hand, if none of the replay wins have been established, a sensor abnormality confirmation process is performed to check whether an abnormality has occurred in the sensor reading result read in the timer interrupt process. If there is an error, the slot machine 10 is put into an error state and an abnormality occurrence process for notifying the occurrence of the error is performed. Such an error state is maintained until the reset switch 72 is operated.

  If the sensor reading result is normal, it is determined whether or not the settlement switch 58 has been operated. If the settlement switch 58 has been operated, a medal return process for paying out the same number of medals as the credited virtual medal I do. After completion of the medal return process or when the settlement switch 58 is not operated, whether or not the medal insertion or credit insertion switches 56 and 57 are operated between the previous start waiting process and the current start waiting process If either one is performed, a medal insertion process is performed, and the start waiting process is terminated. If neither the medal insertion nor the operation of the credit insertion switches 56 and 57 is performed between the previous start waiting process and the current start waiting process, the start waiting process is ended as it is.

  After completion of the start waiting process in S204, it is then determined whether or not the bet number of medals has reached the specified number (S205). If the bet number has not reached the specified number (S205: No), S204 Returning to the start waiting process, the processes after the sensor abnormality confirmation process are performed. In the present embodiment, the specified number of bets is set according to the gaming state of the slot machine 10. That is, when the gaming state of the slot machine 10 is in the general gaming state, the prescribed number is set to 1 to 3, and when it is in the bonus state, the prescribed number is set to 3. Thereby, in the general gaming state, the game can be started not only with three bets but also with one or two.

  If the number of bets has reached the specified number as a result of the processing of S205 (S205: Yes), it is then determined whether or not the start lever 41 has been operated (S206). If the start lever 41 is not operated (S206: No), the process returns to the start waiting process in step S204, and the processes after the sensor abnormality confirmation process are performed.

  On the other hand, when the start lever 41 is operated (S206: Yes), the slot machine 10 is configured such that a game can be started when the start lever 41 is operated in a situation where a prescribed number of medals are bet. Therefore, it means that a start command has been issued to start the game. Therefore, in such a case, the medal path switching solenoid 46a is switched to a non-excited state to prohibit bet acceptance (S207). In the subsequent process 208, an effective line setting process for setting an effective line is performed (S208). In this effective line setting process, all combination lines of the upper line L1, the middle line L2, the lower line L3, the lower right line L4, and the upper right line L5 are set as effective lines. Then, a start command is set (S209). Here, the start command is a command transmitted to the display control device 81 in order to grasp that a start command has been generated.

  Thereafter, a lottery process based on the value of the winning flag storage area 106a (S210), a reel control process based on the value of the sliding table storage area 106b (S211), and a medal when the game is won and the credit is full The medal payout process (S212) and the bonus state process (S213) for executing the bonus game in the case of the bonus state are sequentially executed, and the process returns to S203.

  Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the locking claw 349 of the coupling member 259 is commonly used for a plurality of times of sealing, but in the second embodiment, the locking claw 349 of the coupling member 259 is a first-time sealing. Used only in In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the part same as 1st Embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

FIG.

  As shown in FIGS. 20 to 22, the lid side coupling portion 2255 includes a first concave portion 2261 into which the coupling member 259 is inserted, and a main body portion (side wall portion 245) of the box lid 2212 on the outer peripheral side of the first concave portion 2261. A pair of first connecting portions 262 to be connected to each other, a second concave portion 2271 into which a coupling member 2259 having a first concave portion 2261 fixed to the outer peripheral side is inserted, and an outer peripheral side of the second concave portion 2271 on the body of the box lid 2212 It mainly includes a pair of second connecting portions 272 that are connected to the portion (side wall portion 245).

  The first recess 2261 is positioned on the front side (upper side in FIGS. 21 and 22) of the box lid 2212 and has a first front cylinder 2263 having an inner and outer peripheral surface formed in a cylindrical shape having a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section. A first rear cylinder portion 2264 that is coaxially connected to the rear side (the lower side in FIGS. 21 and 22) of the front cylinder 2263 and has an inner and outer peripheral surface formed in a cylindrical shape having a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section. The pair of first cutouts 2265 formed from the back side end of the back tube 2264 to the first front tube 2263 side and the front side ends of the pair of first cutouts 2265 are respectively connected. A pair of first swinging portions 2266 extended to the back side, and an upper wall 406 of the attachment side coupling portion 2306 projecting from the outer periphery of the back side end of each first swinging portion 2266 ( First locking claw 226 to be locked to (see FIG. 25) And it is configured to include and.

  The first front tube 2263 and the first back tube 2264 are formed in a cylindrical shape with the same thickness, and the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the first back tube 2264 are larger than the inner diameter and the outer diameter of the first front tube 2263. Each is made smaller. As a result, steps are formed on the inner peripheral surface and the outer peripheral surface at the connecting portion between the first front tube 2263 and the first back tube 2264.

  A first insertion groove 261 a into which the tube-side insertion protrusion 343 (see FIG. 8) of the coupling member 259 is inserted is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the first front tube 2263 of the first recess 2261. A recess is provided along the axial direction of the first recess 2261 at a position facing one of them. The first insertion groove 261a is extended to a position reaching the first back cylinder 2264, and a part of the first back cylinder 2264 is recessed by the first insertion groove 261a.

  On the outer peripheral surface of the first front tube 2263 of the first recess 2261, the first insertion protrusion 261 b inserted into the second insertion groove 271 a of the second recess 2271 has a phase of 90 with respect to the pair of first coupling portions 262. It protrudes outward at a position shifted by a certain degree.

  Similarly, the pair of first oscillating portions 2266 are formed at positions whose phases are shifted by 90 ° with respect to the first insertion groove 261a. Accordingly, when the coupling member 259 is pushed into the first recess 2261 at a position where the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343 (see FIG. 8) of the coupling member 259 is inserted into the first insertion groove 261a, the pair of first swinging portions 2266. Are arranged at positions overlapping with the pair of swinging portions 348 of the coupling member 259 (see FIG. 23). Since the width dimension of the first swinging portion 2266 (FIG. 22A, the horizontal dimension) is smaller than the width dimension of the third notch 347 of the coupling member 259 (FIG. 8A, the vertical dimension). Even in a state where the coupling member 259 is fitted in the first recess 2261, the first rocking portion 2266 can be rocked in the axial direction together with the rocking portion 348 of the coupling member 259 as will be described later. Yes (see FIG. 25).

  The second recess 2271 is a cylindrical body having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section, and from the end on the rear side (lower side in FIGS. 21 and 22) to the front side. A pair of second cutouts 2275 formed toward the upper side of FIGS. 21 and 22 and the front end portions of the pair of second cutouts 2275 are connected to each other and extended to the back side. A pair of second oscillating portions 2276 and the upper walls 406 (see FIG. 25) of the attachment-side coupling portion 2306 that protrude from the outer periphery of the rear side end of each of the second oscillating portions 2276 are latched. The second locking claw 2277 is provided.

  The inner diameter of the second recess 2271 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the first front tube 2263 of the first recess 2261, and the first front tube of the first recess 2261 is formed on the inner peripheral side of the second recess 2271. 2263 is configured to be fitted inside and fixable with an adhesive (see FIG. 25).

  A second insertion groove 271a into which the first insertion protrusion 261b of the first recess 2261 is inserted is located on the inner peripheral surface of the second recess 2271 at a position shifted in phase by 90 degrees with respect to the pair of second connection portions 272. It is recessed.

  Further, on the inner peripheral surface of the second recess 2271, the first connection portion 262 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the first recess 2261 when the pair of first connection portions 262 is cut and the first recess 2261 is removed. A pair of second connection receiving portions 271 b for receiving is recessed at positions facing the pair of second connection portions 272.

  As described above, the extending length of the second insertion groove 271a and the second connection receiving portion 271b (the length in the axial direction of the second recess 2271 (the vertical direction in FIGS. 21 and 22)) is the first insertion protrusion. 261a and the first connecting wall 262 are equal to or slightly larger than the height dimension (the length of the first recessed portion 2261 in the axial direction (the vertical direction in FIGS. 21 and 22)). When the 2261 is fitted, the upper end surface of the first recess 2261 can be prevented from protruding from the upper end surface of the second recess 2271 (see FIG. 25). As a result, the first recess 2261 can be made difficult to be pulled out.

  In this way, in the state where the first recess 2261 is fitted in the second recess 2271, at least a part of the tip side (the second locking claw 2277 side) of the second swinging portion 2276 is the first recess. The second swinging portion 2276 extends to the back side to a position overlapping the first back surface cylindrical portion 2264 of 2261. Therefore, since a gap can be provided between the second swinging portion 2276 and the first back surface cylindrical portion 2264 of the first recess 2261, the first recess 2261 is inserted into the second recess 2271 and will be described later. Thus, the second rocking portion 2276 can be rocked in the axial direction (see FIG. 26).

  Further, the pair of second oscillating portions 2276 are formed at positions where the phase is shifted by 90 ° with respect to the second insertion groove 271a. Therefore, when the first recess 2261 is pushed into the second recess 2271 at the position where the first insertion protrusion 261b of the first recess 2261 is inserted into the second insertion groove 271a, the pair of second swinging portions 2276 is the first It arrange | positions in the position which each overlaps with a pair of 1st rocking | fluctuation part 2266 of the recessed part 2261 (refer FIG. 25). The width dimension (FIG. 22B, left-right dimension) of the second swinging portion 2276 is made smaller than the width dimension (FIG. 22A, left-right dimension) of the second notch 2265 of the first recess 2261. . Therefore, after the second swinging portion 2276 swings in the axial direction by the gap provided between the second swinging portion 2276 and the first back surface cylindrical portion 2264 of the first recess 2261, The second swinging portion 2276 can be swung in the axial direction together with the first swinging portion 2266 of the first recess 2261 (see FIG. 26).

  On the outer peripheral surface of the second recess 2271, the second insertion protrusion 271 c inserted into the third insertion groove 281 a of the lid-side return seal portion 2254 has a phase shifted by 90 degrees with respect to the pair of second connection portions 272. It protrudes outward in the position.

  The lid-side return seal 2254 includes a third recess 2281 into which the coupling member 259 having the second recess 2271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is inserted, and the outer peripheral side of the third recess 2281 on the main body portion (side wall) of the box lid 2212. And a pair of third connecting portions 282 connected to the portion 245).

  The third concave portion 2281 is a cylindrical body having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface that are formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section, and an inner diameter thereof is slightly larger than an outer diameter of the second concave portion 2271. The second recess 2271 can be fitted inside the periphery and can be fixed by an adhesive (see FIG. 26). A third insertion groove 281a into which the second insertion protrusion 271c of the second recess 2271 is inserted is recessed on the inner peripheral surface of the third recess 2281 at a position facing one of the pair of third connection portions 282. Has been.

  In addition, the second connection portion 272 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the second recess 2271 is formed on the inner peripheral surface of the third recess 2281 when the pair of second connection portions 272 is cut and the second recess 2271 is removed. A pair of third connection receiving portions 281b for receiving are recessed at positions shifted in phase by 90 degrees with respect to the pair of third connection portions 282.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 23, a method of coupling and sealing the substrate box 2221 and the mounting base 2222 with the coupling member 259 will be described. FIG. 23 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 2220. FIG. 23A shows a state before the first recess 2261 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are coupled by the coupling member 259, and FIG. FIG. 23C shows a state in which the first concave portion 2261 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are coupled only by the cylindrical member 331, and FIG. 23C illustrates a state in which the first concave portion 2261 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are sealed by the coupling member 259. Has been. FIG. 23 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in FIG. Further, in FIG. 23, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference numerals in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding.

  When the board box 2221 is slid and attached to the attachment base 2222, the first concave portion 2261 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are disposed at a position facing each other (state shown in FIG. 23A). In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the first recess 2261 and the outer peripheral surface of the cylinder member 331, and the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343 (see FIG. 8) The cylindrical member 331 is pushed into the first recess 2261 at a position where it is inserted into the first insertion groove 261a. At this time, the locking claw 349 is pushed by the inner peripheral surface of the first recess 2261 and swings in the axial direction. When the cylindrical member 331 is further pushed in and the locking claw 349 passes through the through-hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 2306, the locking claw 349 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the cylindrical member 331 by the swinging portion 348, and is attached and coupled. The cylindrical member 331 is fixed to the first recess 2261 while being locked to the upper wall 406 of the portion 2306 (state shown in FIG. 23B).

  Then, the insertion member 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331 at a position where the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8) is inserted into the first notch 344 (see FIG. 8). At this time, the locking claw 357 (see FIG. 8) is pushed by the inner wall of the cylindrical member 331 and swings in the axial direction. When the insertion member 332 is further pushed in and the locking claw 357 reaches the second notch 345, the locking claw 357 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the insertion member 332 by the swinging portion 356, and the locking claw 357 is moved. And the second notch 345 are locked (state shown in FIG. 23C).

  In this case, the coupling member 259 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction by the engagement between the first insertion groove 261a and the cylinder-side insertion protrusion 343, and thus the locking claw 349 of the cylinder member 331 is attached to the attachment-side coupling portion 2306. Rotation to a position corresponding to the notch 405 is restricted, and it is possible to prevent the first concave portion 2261 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 from being released.

  Further, the locking claw 349 of the cylindrical member 331 is restricted from swinging in the axial direction because the insertion member 332 is inserted into the cylindrical member 331. Therefore, it is possible to suppress the engagement between the locking claw 349 and the upper wall 406 due to the locking claw 349 swinging in the axial direction due to an illegal act. As a result, it can suppress that the coupling member 259 is pulled out.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 24, a method for releasing the sealing of the board box 2221 and the mounting base 2222 sealed by the coupling of the coupling member 259 will be described. FIG. 24 is a partial enlarged cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 2220. Note that FIG. 24 corresponds to the cross-sectional view taken along the line XXI-XXI in FIG. 20 and illustrates a state where the coupling member 259 having the first recess 2261 fixed to the outer peripheral side is removed.

  In order to release the sealing of the board box 2221 and the mounting base 2222 from the state where the first recess 2261 and the mounting side coupling portion 2306 are coupled by the coupling member 259, the main body portion of the box lid 2212 and the first recess 2261 are separated. The pair of first connecting portions 262 to be connected is cut (broken) with a tool such as a nipper. When the first connecting portion 262 is cut, the coupling member 259 can rotate in the circumferential direction together with the first concave portion 2261. Therefore, the coupling member 259 and the first concave portion 2261 are rotated by 90 degrees while being in an integrated state. The pawl 349 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 405. Accordingly, the first recess 2261 and the connecting member 259 to which the first recess 2261 is fixed (adhered) can be pulled out from the attachment side connecting portion 2306 as a unit. When the first recess 2261 and the coupling member 259 are pulled out, the seal between the board box 2221 and the mounting base 2222 is released, and the board box 2221 slides and can be detached from the mounting base 2222. As described above, when the board box 2221 is removed from the mounting base 2222, the first connecting portion 262 is broken by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 2221 has been removed. Can do.

  The first recess 2261 and the coupling member 259 in the pulled-out state are such that the latching claw 357 of the insertion member 332 is exposed on the distal end side of the coupling member 259 in the insertion direction. By releasing the locking of the cylindrical member 331 with the second notch 345 while pressing in the direction, the insertion member 332 can be pulled out from the cylindrical member 331 (see FIG. 25).

  Next, referring to FIG. 25, the board member 2221 and the mounting base 2222 are connected by connecting the second recess 2271 and the mounting side connecting part 2306 using the connecting member 259 recovered with the release of the seal. A method for resealing will be described. FIG. 25 is a partial cross-sectional view of the board unit 2220. FIG. 25A shows a state before the second recess 2271 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are coupled by the first recess 2261 and the coupling member 259. FIG. 25B shows a state in which the second recess 2271 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are coupled only by the first recess 2261 and the cylindrical member 331, and FIG. 25C shows that the second recess 2271 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are the first. The states sealed by the recess 2261 and the coupling member 259 are respectively shown. 25 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in FIG. Further, in FIG. 25, in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding, only some components will be described with reference numerals.

  When re-sealing after opening the substrate unit 2220, as described above, the substrate box 2221 is slid and attached to the attachment base 2222 so that the second concave portion 2271 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 are opposed to each other. (Position shown in FIG. 25A). In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the second concave portion 2271 and the outer peripheral surface of the first concave portion 2261 fixed to the cylindrical member 331, and the second insertion of the second concave portion 2271 is performed. At the position where the first insertion protrusion 261b of the first recess 2261 is inserted into the groove 271a and the first connection portion 262 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the first recess 2261 is inserted into the second connection receiving portion 271b of the second recess 2271, respectively. The first recess 2261 and the cylindrical member 331 are pushed into the second recess 2271.

  At this time, the first locking claw 2267 of the first recess 2261 is pushed by the through hole 404 of the attachment coupling portion 2306 and swings in the axial direction of the first recess 2261. When the first recess 2261 and the cylindrical member 331 are further pushed in and the first locking claw 2267 passes through the through hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 2306, the first locking claw 2267 is moved by the first swinging portion 2266 to the first recess. 2261 is rocked to the outer side in the radial direction of 2261 and locked to the upper wall 406 of the attachment coupling portion 2306, and the first recess 2261 is fixed to the second recess 2271 (the state of FIG. 25B).

  In this case, as described above, the first swinging portion 2266 is disposed at a position overlapping the swinging portion 348 of the coupling member 259 (cylinder member 331), so that the first locking claw 2267 is coupled to the attachment side. When passing through the through hole 404 of the part 2306, the first swinging part 2266 can be swung in the axial direction together with the swinging part 348.

  After the first recess 2261 and the cylindrical member 331 are fitted in the second recess 2271, the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8) is the same as in the case of the first sealing described above (see FIG. 23). The insertion member 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331 at a position where it is inserted into one notch 344 (see FIG. 8). At this time, the locking claw 357 (see FIG. 8) is pushed by the inner wall of the cylindrical member 331 and swings in the axial direction. When the insertion member 332 is further pushed in and the locking claw 357 reaches the second notch 345, the locking claw 357 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the insertion member 332 by the swinging portion 356, and the locking claw 357 is moved. And the second notch 345 are locked (state shown in FIG. 25C).

  In this case, in the coupling member 259, the cylinder side insertion protrusion 343 is engaged with the first insertion groove 261a of the first recess 2261, and the first insertion protrusion 261b of the first recess 2261 is the second of the second recess 2271. Since the rotation in the circumferential direction is restricted by being fitted into the insertion groove 271a, the first locking claw 2267 of the first recess 2261 rotates to a position corresponding to the notch 405 of the attachment side coupling portion 2306. It is possible to prevent the second concave portion 2271 and the attachment side coupling portion 2306 from being released.

  Further, since the insertion member 332 is inserted into the cylindrical member 331, the swinging of the swinging portion 348 of the cylindrical member 331 in the axial direction is restricted, and accordingly, the first recess 2261 is provided. Further, the swinging of the first swinging portion 2266 in the axial direction can be restricted. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the first locking claw 2267 from swinging in the axial direction due to an illegal act and the engagement between the first locking claw 2266 and the upper wall 406 being released. As a result, the first recess 2261 and the coupling member 259 can be suppressed from being pulled out.

  In this case, in order to release the connection between the board box 2221 and the mounting base 2222, the pair of second connecting portions 272 for connecting the main body portion of the box lid 2212 and the second recessed portion 2271 with a tool such as a nipper. Cut (break). When the second connecting portion 272 is cut, the coupling member 259 can be rotated in the circumferential direction together with the first concave portion 2261 and the second concave portion 2271. Therefore, the coupling member 259, the first concave portion 2261, and the second concave portion 2271 are integrated. The first locking claw 2267 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 405 by rotating 90 degrees in the state. Accordingly, the second recess 2271, the first recess 2261 to which the second recess 2271 is fixed (adhered), and the coupling member 259 can be pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 2306 as a unit. When the second concave portion 2271, the first concave portion 2261, and the coupling member 259 are pulled out in an integrated state, the resealing between the board box 2221 and the mounting base 2222 is released, and the board box 2221 is slid and moved. 2222 becomes removable. As described above, when the board box 2221 is removed from the mounting base 2222, the second connecting portion 272 is broken by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 2221 has been removed. Can do.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 26, a method for sealing the substrate box 2221 using the coupling member 259 recovered along with the release of the reseal will be described. FIG. 26 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 2220, and shows a state where the substrate box 2221 is sealed by the first recess 2261, the second recess 2271, and the coupling member 259. 26 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXI-XXI in FIG. In FIG. 26, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding.

  When sealing the substrate box 2221 (box base 2211 and box lid 2212), the base-side return sealing portion 231 and the lid-side return sealing portion 2254 (third concave portion 281) are connected to the first concave portion 2261 and the second concave portion 2261. The concave portion 2271 is coupled by the coupling member 259 fixed to the outer peripheral side. That is, as described above, by releasing the first seal between the substrate box 2221 and the mounting base 2222, the coupling member 259 having the first recess 261 fixed to the outer peripheral side is recovered (see FIG. 24), By releasing the second sealing (resealing) between the box 2221 and the mounting base 2222, the coupling member 259 having the first concave portion 2261 and the second concave portion 2271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is recovered.

  As described above, the coupling member 259 recovered by releasing the reseal and having the first concave portion 2261 and the second concave portion 2271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is engaged with the insertion member 332 on the distal end side in the insertion direction of the coupling member 259. Since the pawl 357 is exposed, the inner member 332 is pulled out of the cylindrical member 331 by releasing the locking of the cylindrical member 331 with the second notch 345 while pressing the locking pawl 357 in the axial direction. .

  When the substrate box 2221 is assembled, the lid-side return sealing portion 2254 (third recess 2281) and the base-side return sealing portion 231 are disposed at opposite positions, so that the second insertion protrusion 271c of the second recess 2271 is disposed. Is inserted into the third insertion groove 281a (see FIGS. 20 and 21) of the third recess 2281, the cylindrical member 331 having the first recess 2261 and the second recess 2271 fixed to the outer peripheral side is connected to the third recess 2281. Push into. As a result, the second locking claw 2277 of the second recess 2271 that has passed through the through hole of the base-side return seal portion 231 is locked to the upper wall of the base-side return seal portion 231.

  In this case, since the second swinging portion 2276 is provided with a gap between the first recessed portion 2261 and the first back surface cylindrical portion 2264 as described above, the second swinging portion 2276 is axially centered. Can be swung in the direction. Further, since the second swinging portion 2276 is arranged at a position overlapping the first swinging portion 2266 of the first recess 2261, the second locking claw 2277 passes through the through hole of the base-side return seal portion 231. In doing so, the second swinging part 2276 can be swung in the axial direction together with the first swinging part 2266 and the swinging part 348.

  After the first concave portion 2261, the second concave portion 2271, and the cylindrical member 331 are fitted into the third concave portion 2281, the insertion-side insertion protrusion 354 (see FIG. 8), as in the case of the first sealing or resealing described above. ) Is inserted into the first notch 344 (see FIG. 8), and the insertion member 332 is pushed into the cylindrical member 331. As a result, the locking claw 349 of the cylindrical member 331 is locked to the upper wall of the base-side return seal portion 231, and the lid-side return seal portion 2254 (third recess 2281) and the base-side return seal portion 231 are connected. Sealed.

  The lid-side return sealing portion 2254 is formed in a sealed shape so as to make it impossible to unlock the locking claw 355 of the coupling member 259 and unlock the second locking claw 2277 of the second recess 2271. ing. Therefore, the coupling member 259 can seal the board box 2221 so that the board box 2221 cannot be opened when the board box 2221 is sent back to the manufacturer for repair of the main board 213 (see FIG. 5). It is possible to prevent parts from being lost due to the board box 2221 falling apart during the return.

  In addition, the coupling member 259 is configured to be reusable, but the board unit 2220 includes only one coupling member 259. And since it is used also at the time of return to a maker and is returned to a maker, it can also suppress that the coupling member 259 distribute | circulates to a market. Therefore, when the coupling member 259 is distributed in the market, for example, when one substrate box is illegally manufactured from two substrate boxes, it is possible to prevent the coupling member 259 from being used.

  Also, when opening the substrate box 2221 sealed by the coupling member 259 via the return sealing portions 231 and 2254, the third connecting portion 282 must be cut with a tool such as a nipper. Even when the substrate box 2221 is opened in the middle of returning, a trace remains, and the opening of the substrate box 2221 can be found.

  In particular, since the first concave portion 2261 and the second concave portion 2271 are fixed to the coupling member 259 with an adhesive, it is difficult to remove the first concave portion 2261 and the second concave portion 2271, and no trace remains on the coupling member 259. It is possible to prevent recovery.

  Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the case where the concave portions 261 and 271 are fixed to the coupling member 259 each time the number of times of sealing increases and the outer shape thereof increases is described. In the third embodiment, the sealing is performed. Each time the number of times performed increases, a part of the coupling member 3000 is removed, and the outer shape thereof is reduced. In addition, the same code | symbol is attached | subjected about the part same as said each embodiment, and the description is abbreviate | omitted.

The dimension from the upper end surface to the lower end surface, see FIG. 30 (b)) or slightly larger. Thereby, when the coupling member 3000 is fitted into the first recess 3261, the upper end surface of the coupling member 3000 can be prevented from protruding from the upper end surface of the first recess 3261. As a result, the coupling member 3000 can be made difficult to be pulled out.

  The second recess 3271 is a cylindrical body having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface formed in a circular shape in a cross-sectional view in the axial direction.

  The second insertion protrusion 3201 is a portion that is inserted into the second insertion groove 3271a of the second recess 3271, and extends along the axial direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 31 (a)) of the second cylindrical portion 3200. At the same time, it is formed on an imaginary line (a vertical direction in FIG. 30A) connecting the pair of first insertion protrusions 3101 in a top view.

  The second oscillating portion 3202 is formed in a strip shape having a predetermined width, and can be oscillated in a direction approaching and separating from the axial center of the second cylindrical portion 3200. The second locking claw 3203 is a portion locked to the upper wall 406 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, and a surface (locking surface) connected to the second swinging portion 3202 is an axis of the second cylindrical portion 3200. The second cylindrical portion 3200 is formed so as to project outward while being orthogonal to the center and toward the distal end side (side away from the second swinging portion 3202, lower side in FIG. 31B). It is formed as a surface (tapered surface) that is inclined so as to be close to the axial center.

  The pair of second locking claws 3203 are formed at positions shifted in phase counterclockwise by 60 degrees with respect to the pair of second insertion protrusions 3201. Therefore, when inserting the 2nd cylinder part 3200 into the 2nd recessed part 3271 (refer FIG. 27), by inserting in the circumferential direction position where the 2nd latching claw 3203 passes the 2nd recessed part 3273b, The second insertion protrusion 3201 can be easily inserted into the second insertion groove 3271a.

  The third cylindrical portion 3300 is a columnar body that is concentric with the first cylindrical portion 3100 whose outer peripheral surface is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section. The insertion protrusion 3301 protrudes outward, and a pair of third swinging portions 3302 extends downward from the end surface on the bottom surface side (lower side in FIG. 32). The pair of third swinging portions 3302 is provided with third locking claws 3303 projecting outward from the outer peripheral surface at the distal end in the extending direction. The outer diameter of the third cylindrical portion 3300 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the third concave portion 3281, and the third cylindrical portion 3300 can be fitted inside the third concave portion 3281 and can be fixed by an adhesive. It is configured to be possible (see FIG. 33).

  The third insertion protrusion 3301 is a portion that is inserted into the third insertion groove 3281a of the third recess 3281, and extends along the axial direction (the vertical direction in FIG. 31 (a)) of the third cylindrical portion 3300. At the same time, it is formed on an imaginary line (a vertical direction in FIG. 30A) connecting the pair of first insertion protrusions 3101 in a top view. That is, the first to third insertion protrusions 3101 to 3301 are arranged on a straight line.

  The third oscillating portion 3302 is formed in a strip shape having a predetermined width, and can be oscillated in a direction in which the third oscillating portion 3302 approaches and separates from the axial center of the third cylindrical portion 3300. The third locking claw 3303 is a portion that is locked to the upper wall 406 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, and a surface (locking surface) that is connected to the third swinging portion 3302 is an axis of the third cylindrical portion 3300. It is formed to project outward while being orthogonal to the center, and the axial center of the third cylindrical portion 3300 is closer to the distal end side (the side away from the third swinging portion 3302 and the lower side in FIG. 2). It is formed as a surface (tapered surface) inclined so as to be close to the surface.

  Note that the pair of third locking claws 3303 is formed at a position whose phase is shifted 30 degrees clockwise relative to the pair of third insertion protrusions 3201. Therefore, when inserting the 3rd cylinder part 3300 in the 3rd recessed part 3281 (refer FIG. 27), by inserting in the circumferential direction position where the 3rd latching claw 3303 passes the 3rd recessed part 3283b, The third insertion protrusion 3301 can be easily inserted into the third insertion groove 3281a.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 33, a method of coupling and sealing the substrate box 3221 and the mounting base 3222 with the coupling member 3000 will be described. FIG. 33 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 3220. 33 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVIII-XXVIII in FIG. Also, in FIG. 33, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding.

  As described above, when the board box 3221 is slid and attached to the attachment base 3222, the lid side coupling portion 3255 (first concave portion 3261) and the attachment side coupling portion 306 are arranged to face each other. (State of FIG. 33). In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the first concave portion 3261 and the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 3100 of the coupling member 3000, so that the first insertion protrusion 3101 is in the first concave portion 3261. The coupling member 3000 is pushed into the first recess 3261 at a position where it is inserted into the first insertion groove 3261a. At this time, the first locking claw 3103 is pushed by the inner peripheral surface of the first recess 3261 and swings in the axial direction. When the coupling member 3000 is further pushed in and the first locking claw 3103 passes through the through-hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the first locking claw 3103 is moved radially outward of the engagement member 3000 by the first swinging portion 3102. The first cylindrical portion 3100 of the coupling member 3000 is fixed to the first recess 3261 while being locked to the upper wall 406 of the mounting coupling portion 306.

  In this case, since the rotation of the coupling member 3000 in the circumferential direction is restricted by the engagement between the first insertion groove 3261a and the first insertion protrusion 3101, the first locking claw 3103 of the first cylindrical portion 3100 is attached. The rotation to the position corresponding to the notch 405 of the side coupling portion 306 is restricted, and the coupling of the first recess 3261 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 can be prevented from being released.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 34, a method of releasing the sealing of the board box 3221 and the mounting base 3222 sealed by the coupling of the coupling member 3000 will be described. 34A is a partially enlarged front view of the board unit 3220, and FIG. 34B is a partially enlarged rear view of the upper wall 406 of the attachment side coupling portion 306. 34A and 34B show a state where the first connecting portion 3262 is cut and the coupling member 3000 is rotated by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction.

  In order to release the sealing of the board box 3221 and the mounting base 3222 from the state in which the first recess 3261 and the mounting side coupling portion 306 are coupled by the coupling member 3000, the main body portion of the box lid 3212 and the first recess 3261 are The pair of first connecting portions 3262 to be connected is cut (broken) with a tool such as a nipper. When the first connecting portion 3262 is cut, the coupling member 3000 can rotate in the circumferential direction together with the first concave portion 3261. Therefore, the coupling member 3000 and the first concave portion 3261 are rotated by 90 degrees while being in an integrated state. One locking claw 3103 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 405 (the state shown in FIGS. 34A and 34B). As a result, the first recess 3261 and the coupling member 3000 to which the first recess 3261 is fixed (adhered) can be pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 306 as a unit. When the first recess 3261 and the coupling member 3000 are pulled out, the seal between the board box 3221 and the mounting base 3222 is released, and the board box 3221 is slid to be detached from the mounting base 3222. As described above, when the board box 3221 is removed from the mounting base 3222, the first connecting part 3262 is destroyed by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 3221 has been removed. Can do.

  Next, referring to FIG. 35 to FIG. 37, the board member 3221 and the mounting base are coupled by coupling the second recess 3271 and the mounting side coupling section 306 using the coupling member 3000 recovered along with the release of the seal. A method of resealing 3222 will be described. 35 (a) and 35 (b) are top views of the recovered coupling member 3000, and FIG. 36 is a side view of the coupling member 3000 as viewed in the direction of arrow XXXVI in FIG. FIG. 37 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 3220. FIG. 37 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVIII-XXVIII in FIG. Also, in FIG. 37, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding.

  As shown in FIGS. 35 and 36, after the coupling member 3000 is collected together with the first recess 3261 with the release of the seal, the pair of outer coupling parts 3400 are cut with a tool such as a nipper, so that the coupling member 3000 is removed. A portion removed from the coupling member 3000 (that is, a portion mainly constituted by the first concave portion 3261 and the first cylindrical portion 3100 shown in FIG. 35A) and the coupling member 3000 as a member used for resealing. (That is, the coupling member 3000 mainly composed of the second cylindrical portion 3200 and the third cylindrical portion 3300 shown in FIGS. 35B and 36).

  Note that, as described above, the method for obtaining the coupling member 3000 (that is, the member shown in FIGS. 35B and 36) as a member used for the resealing is performed by cutting the pair of first connecting parts 3262. After the coupling member 3000 is removed from the box lid 3212 together with the first recess 3261 (see FIG. 34), the first recess 3261 and the first cylindrical portion 3100 (portion shown in FIG. 35A) are removed from the removed member. It is not restricted to the order to do.

  For example, without cutting the pair of first connection parts 3262 (that is, with the first cylinder part 3261 still connected to the box lid 3212), the pair of outer connection parts 3400 is cut first, The coupling member 3000 (that is, the second cylindrical portion 3200 and the third cylindrical portion 3300 shown in FIGS. 35B and 36) is used as a member used for resealing while leaving the first cylindrical portion 3100 in the first recess 3261. The connecting member 3000) may be acquired, and then the first connecting portion 3262 may be cut to release the seal.

  After obtaining the coupling member 3000 used for resealing, the board box 3221 is slid and attached to the attachment base 3222, and the second recess 3271 and the attachment side coupling part 306 are arranged at positions facing each other. (State of FIG. 37).

  In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the second concave portion 3271 and the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 3200 of the coupling member 3000, and the second insertion groove 3271 a of the second concave portion 3271 is applied. The second insertion protrusion 3201 of the second cylindrical portion 3200 is inserted into the second coupling receiving portion 3271b of the second concave portion 3271 at the position where the outer coupling portion 3400 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 3200 is inserted (see FIG. 27 to 29), the coupling member 3000 (see FIG. 36) is pushed into the second recess 3271.

  At this time, the second locking claw 3203 of the second cylindrical portion 3200 is pushed by the inner peripheral surface of the second recess 3271 and swings in the axial direction. When the coupling member 3000 is further pushed in and the second locking claw 3203 passes through the through hole 404 of the attachment side coupling portion 306, the second locking claw 3203 is moved in the radial direction of the second cylindrical portion 3200 by the second swinging portion 3202. The second cylindrical portion 3200 of the coupling member 3000 is fixed to the second recess 3271 while being rocked outward and locked to the upper wall 406 of the attachment coupling portion 306 (state of FIG. 37).

  In this case, the coupling member 3000 is configured such that the second insertion protrusion 3201 of the second cylindrical portion 3200 is engaged with the second insertion groove 3271a of the second concave portion 3261 and the outer connection remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 3200. Since the portion 3400 is engaged with the second connection receiving portion 3271b of the second recess 3271, rotation in the circumferential direction is restricted, so the second locking claw 3203 of the second cylindrical portion 3200 is attached to the attachment side coupling portion. Rotation to a position corresponding to the notch 405 of 306 is restricted, and it is possible to prevent the second concave portion 3271 and the attachment side coupling portion 306 from being released.

  In this case, in order to release the connection between the board box 3221 and the mounting base 3222, a pair of second connecting portions 3272 for connecting the main body portion of the box lid 3212 and the second concave portion 3271 are formed with a tool such as a nipper. Cut (break). When the second connecting portion 3272 is cut, the coupling member 3000 can rotate in the circumferential direction together with the second concave portion 3271. Therefore, the coupling member 3000 and the second concave portion 3271 are rotated by 90 degrees while being in an integrated state. 2 The claw 3203 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 405. Thereby, the coupling member 3000 to which the second concave portion 3271 is fixed (adhered) can be pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 306 as a unit. When the second recess 3271 and the coupling member 3000 are pulled out in an integrated state, the re-sealing of the board box 3221 and the mounting base 3222 is released, and the board box 3221 slides and can be detached from the mounting base 3222. Become. As described above, when the board box 3221 is removed from the mounting base 3222, the second connecting portion 3272 is destroyed by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 3221 has been removed. Can do.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 38, a method of sealing the substrate box 3221 using the coupling member 3000 recovered along with the release of the reseal will be described. FIG. 38 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 3220, and shows a state where the substrate box 3221 is sealed by the coupling member 3000 (third cylinder portion 3300). FIG. 38 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXVIII-XXVIII in FIG. In FIG. 38, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference numerals in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding.

  When sealing the substrate box 3221 (the box base 3211 and the box lid 3212), the base-side return sealing portion 231 and the third recess 3281 are coupled by the coupling member 3000. That is, as described above, with the release of the first seal between the substrate box 3221 and the mounting base 3222, the removed coupling member 3000 of the first cylindrical portion 3100 is recovered (see FIG. 36), and the substrate box 3221 With the release of the second seal (reseal) with the attachment base 3222, the coupling member 3000 (third cylinder part 3300) from which the first cylinder part 3100 and the second cylinder part 3200 have been removed is recovered.

  When the board box 3221 is assembled, the third recessed portion 3281 and the base-side return seal 231 are disposed at positions facing each other, so that the inner peripheral surface of the third recessed portion 3281 and the third cylindrical portion 3300 of the coupling member 3000 are arranged. The adhesive is applied to one or both of the outer peripheral surface, the third insertion protrusion 3301 of the third cylindrical portion 3300 is inserted into the third insertion groove 3281a of the third recess 3281, and the third connection receiving portion of the third recess 3281. At the position where the inner connecting portion 3500 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the third cylindrical portion 3300 is inserted into 3281b (see FIGS. 27 to 29), the coupling member 3000 (third cylindrical portion 3300) is inserted into the third concave portion 3281. Push in. As a result, the third locking claw 3303 of the third cylindrical portion 3300 is locked to the upper wall of the base-side return seal portion 231, and the third recess 3281 and the base-side return seal portion 231 are sealed.

  In this case, the third locking claw 3303 of the third cylindrical portion 3300 is enclosed and sealed by a wall portion formed in a box shape so that the locking release is impossible. Therefore, the coupling member 3000 can seal the board box 3221 so that the board box 3221 cannot be opened when the board box 3221 is sent back to the manufacturer for repair of the main board 213 (see FIG. 5). It is possible to prevent the board box 3221 from falling apart and parts and the like from being lost during return to the device.

  In addition, the coupling member 3000 is configured to be reusable, but the board unit 3220 includes only one coupling member 3000. And since it is used also at the time of return to a maker and is returned to a maker, it can also suppress that the coupling member 3000 distribute | circulates to a market. Therefore, when the coupling member 3259 is distributed in the market, for example, when one board box is illegally manufactured from two board boxes, the use of the coupling member 3000 can be suppressed.

  Further, when the substrate box 3221 sealed by the coupling member 3000 is opened through the return sealing portions 231 and 3254, the third connecting portion 3282 must be cut with a tool such as a nipper. When the substrate box 3221 is opened in the middle of returning, a trace remains, and the opening of the substrate box 3221 can be found.

  In particular, since the third cylindrical portion 3300 and the third concave portion 3281 are fixed to the coupling member 3000 with an adhesive, it is difficult to remove the third concave portion 3281 and the coupling member 3000 is collected without leaving any trace. Can be prevented.

  Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. In the first embodiment, the case where the concave portions 261 and 271 are fixed to the coupling member 259 each time the number of times of sealing increases and the outer shape thereof increases is described, but in the fourth embodiment, the sealing is performed. Each time the number of times performed increases, a part of the coupling member 4000 is removed, and the outer shape thereof is reduced. In the third embodiment, a plurality of locking claws (first to third locking claws 3103 to 3303) are formed on the coupling member 3000. However, in the fourth embodiment, one locking claw is provided. Commonly used for multiple seals. The same parts as those in the above embodiments are given the same reference numerals, and the description thereof is omitted.

  First, with reference to FIG. 39 and FIG. 40, the lid side coupling portion 4255 in the fourth embodiment will be described. 39 is a partially enlarged front view of the box lid 4212, and FIG. 40 is a partially enlarged sectional view of the box lid 4212 taken along the line XXX-XXXX in FIG.

The positions are separated by a predetermined distance. Accordingly, the first connecting portion 4262 is prevented from interfering with the first projecting portion 4101 of the first cylindrical portion 4100, and the upper surface side of the first concave portion 4261 is disposed on the first fitting groove 4102 of the first cylindrical portion 4100. (See FIG. 44). On the upper surface side of the first recess 4261, a pair of first insertion grooves 4261 a are recessed in the axial direction of the first recess 4261 at positions facing the pair of first coupling portions 4262. The first insertion groove 4261a communicates the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the first recess 4261 so that the first insertion protrusion 4103 (see FIG. 43) of the coupling member 4000 can be inserted. By inserting the first insertion protrusion 4103 into the first insertion groove 4261a, the circumferential position of the coupling member 4000 is positioned.

The upper surface side (the front side in FIG. 39) is opened and the bottom surface side (the rear surface in FIG. 39). A second bottom wall 4273 is formed inwardly on the side. A second through hole 4273a having a circular shape in front view is formed through the second bottom wall 4273 so that the third cylindrical portion 4300 (see FIG. 44) of the coupling member 4000 can be inserted therethrough.

  The pair of second connection parts 4272 are formed in a straight line along an imaginary line (the vertical direction in FIG. 39) passing through the axis of the second recess 4271. In the present embodiment, the connecting position of the second connecting portion 4272 to the outer peripheral surface of the second recessed portion 4271 is on the bottom surface side (the back side in FIG. 39) with respect to the upper end surface (upper surface) of the second recessed portion 4271. The positions are separated by a predetermined distance. This prevents the second connecting portion 4272 from interfering with the second overhanging portion 4201 of the second cylindrical portion 4200, and the second fitting groove 4202 of the second cylindrical portion 4200 is provided on the upper surface side of the second concave portion 4271. (See FIG. 44). On the upper surface side of the second recess 4271, a pair of second insertion grooves 4271 a are recessed in the axial direction of the second recess 4271 at positions facing the pair of second connection portions 4272. The second insertion groove 4271a communicates the inner and outer peripheral surfaces of the second recess 4271 so that the second insertion protrusion 4203 (see FIG. 43) of the coupling member 4000 can be inserted. By inserting the second insertion protrusion 4203 into the second insertion groove 4271a, the circumferential position of the coupling member 4000 is positioned.

  The inner diameter of the second concave portion 4271 is slightly larger than the outer diameter of the second cylindrical portion 4200 of the coupling member 4000, and the second cylindrical portion 4200 can be fitted into the inner peripheral side of the second concave portion 4271; It is configured to be fixed by an adhesive (see FIG. 46).

  The lid-side return sealing portion 4254 connects the third concave portion 4281 into which the third cylindrical portion 4300 of the coupling member 4000 is inserted and the outer peripheral side of the third concave portion 4281 to the main body portion (side wall portion 245) of the box lid 4212. And a pair of third connecting portions 4282.

A third bottom wall 4283 is formed to project inward on the side. The third bottom wall 4283 is formed with a third through hole 4283a having a circular shape when viewed from the front, and a pair of third recesses from the inner edge of the third through hole 4283a toward the inner peripheral surface of the third recess 4281. The portion 4273b is recessed. The pair of third recessed portions 4273b are portions for allowing the third locking claws 4303 of the coupling member 4000 to pass through, and along an imaginary line (the left-right direction in FIG. 39) passing through the axis of the third recessed portion 4271. It is formed in a straight line.

  The pair of third connecting portions 4282 are formed at positions shifted in phase by 90 degrees with respect to the third recessed portion 4283b.

The attachment coupling portion 4306 is formed as a hollow box-shaped body so that the coupling member 4000 is inserted, and penetrates the upper wall 4406 constituting the front side (front side of FIG. 41) of the box-shaped body. A hole 4404 is formed, and a notch 4405 is notched at a part of the inner edge of the through-hole 4404. The through hole 4404 is an opening through which the third locking claw 4303 of the coupling member 4000 is inserted, and is formed in a substantially circular shape when viewed from the front. The notch 4405 is a part for allowing the third locking claw 4303 to pass when the coupling member 4000 is removed, and has a larger outer shape than the third locking claw 4303. The notch 4405 is located at a position shifted by 90 degrees in the circumferential direction with respect to the third locking claw 4303 in a state where the coupling member 4000 is coupled to the attachment side coupling portion 4306 (that is, the third locking claw 4303. The position of the coupling member 4000 is difficult to remove.

  Next, the coupling member 4000 will be described with reference to FIGS. 42 and 43. 42A is a top view of the coupling member 4000, and FIG. 42B is a side view of the coupling member 4000 viewed from the direction of arrow B in FIG. 42A. 43A is a cross-sectional view of the coupling member 4000 taken along the line Aa-Aa in FIG. 42A, and FIG. 43B is a cross-sectional view of the coupling member 4000 taken along the line Ab-Ab in FIG. is there.

  As shown in FIGS. 42 and 43, the first cylinder portion 4100 located in the outermost layer, the second cylinder portion 4200 located on the inner layer side of the first cylinder portion 4100, and the inner layer side of the second cylinder portion 4200 A third tube portion 4300 located at the outer periphery, an outer connecting portion 4400 connecting the inner peripheral surface of the first tube portion 4100 and the outer peripheral surface of the second tube portion 4200, and the inner peripheral surface and the third tube of the second tube portion 4200. The inner connection part 4500 which connects the outer peripheral surface of the part 4300, and the rotary operation element 4600 standingly arranged from the upper surface of the 3rd cylinder part 4300 are comprised mainly.

  The first cylindrical portion 4100 is a cylindrical body having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface that are formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section, and is arranged from the outer peripheral surface on the upper surface side (the upper side in FIGS. 43 (a) and 43 (b)). The first overhanging portion 4101 is formed to project outward in the radial direction, and the first overhanging portion 4101 has an annular shape viewed from the bottom on the bottom surface side (the lower side of FIGS. 43A and 43B). One fitting groove 4102 is recessed.

  The first fitting groove 4102 is a groove into which the end portion on the upper surface side of the first recess 4261 is fitted (see FIG. 44), and two circumferential positions of the first fitting groove 4102 (a pair of outer connecting portions). The first insertion protrusions 4103 are formed at two locations on the imaginary line connecting 4400 to fill the recessed grooves. The pair of first insertion protrusions 4103 are inserted into the first insertion grooves 4261a of the first recesses 4261, whereby the coupling member 4000 is positioned in the circumferential direction. Each first insertion protrusion 4103 is formed on an imaginary line connecting the pair of outer connecting portions 4400 and the pair of inner connecting portions 4500 when the coupling member 4000 is viewed from above.

  Here, the first cylindrical portion 4100 is formed from the height dimension of the first insertion protrusion 4103 (FIG. 43B, the vertical dimension, that is, from the bottom surface of the first overhanging portion 4101 (the lower side surface of FIG. 43B). The depth of the first insertion groove 4261a from the upper surface of the first recess 4261 is the depth dimension of the first insertion groove 4102 up to the bottom surface of the first fitting groove 4102 (upper side surface in FIG. 43A). It is slightly smaller than the vertical dimension in FIG. The height dimension (the vertical dimension in FIG. 43) from the bottom surface of the first tube portion 4100 to the bottom surface of the first fitting groove 4102 is the depth dimension of the first recess 4261 (the upper end surface (upper surface) of the first recess 4261). To a top surface of the bottom wall 4263). Thereby, when the coupling member 4000 (first tube portion 4100) is fitted into the first recess 4261 (see FIG. 44), the upper end surface (upper surface, upper surface in FIG. 40) of the first recess 4261 is the first tube. It can be brought into contact with the bottom surface of the first fitting groove 4102 of the portion 4100. Therefore, an ultrasonic welding machine is brought into contact with the upper surface of the first cylindrical portion 4100 to perform ultrasonic welding, thereby welding the mating surface between the upper end surface of the first recess 4261 and the bottom surface of the first fitting groove 4102. Thus, the coupling portion seat 4000 (first tube portion 4100) can be fixed to the first recess 4261.

  The second cylindrical portion 4200 is a cylindrical body that is concentric with the first cylindrical portion 4100 having an inner peripheral surface and an outer peripheral surface that are formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial cross section, and is on the upper surface side (FIGS. 43A and 43B). ) The second overhanging portion 4201 is formed to project radially outward from the outer peripheral surface of the upper side), and the bottom side of the second overhanging portion 4201 (the lower side of FIGS. 43A and 43B) ) Has a second fitting groove 4202 that is annular when viewed from the bottom.

  The second fitting groove 4202 is a groove into which the end portion on the upper surface side of the second recess 4271 is fitted (see FIG. 46), and two circumferential positions of the second fitting groove 4202 (a pair of outer connecting portions). A second insertion projection 4203 is formed at two locations on the imaginary line connecting 4400 to fill the recessed groove. The pair of second insertion protrusions 4203 are inserted into the second insertion grooves 4271a of the second recesses 4271 so that the coupling member 4000 (second cylindrical portion 4200) is positioned in the circumferential direction. Each of the second insertion protrusions 4203 is formed on an imaginary line that connects the pair of outer connecting portions 4400 and the pair of inner connecting portions 4500 when the coupling member 4000 is viewed from above.

  Here, the second cylindrical portion 4200 has a height dimension (FIG. 43 (b) vertical dimension, that is, a bottom surface of the second overhanging portion 4201 (lower side surface in FIG. 43 (b)) from the height dimension of the second insertion protrusion 4203. 2 is the depth of the second insertion groove 4271a from the top surface of the second recess 4271 (the depth of the recess of the second fitting groove 4202 up to the bottom surface (upper side surface in FIG. 43A)). It is slightly smaller than the vertical dimension in FIG. The height dimension (the vertical dimension in FIG. 43) from the bottom surface of the second cylindrical portion 4200 to the bottom surface of the second fitting groove 4202 is the depth dimension of the second recess 4271 (the upper end surface (upper surface) of the second recess 4271). To a top surface of the bottom wall 4273). As a result, when the coupling member 4000 (second tube portion 4200) is fitted into the second recess 4271 (see FIG. 46), the upper end surface (upper surface, upper surface in FIG. 40) of the second recess 4271 is the second tube. It can be brought into contact with the bottom surface of the second fitting groove 4202 of the portion 4200. Therefore, by using an ultrasonic welding machine from the upper surface of the second overhanging portion 4201 of the second cylindrical portion 4200, the upper end surface of the second recess 4271 and the bottom surface of the second fitting groove 4202 are ultrasonically welded. The coupling portion seat 4000 (second cylindrical portion 4200) can be fixed to the second recess 4271.

  The third cylindrical portion 4300 is a columnar body that is concentric with the first cylindrical portion 4100 whose outer peripheral surface is formed in a circular shape when viewed from the axial straight section, and a pair of third cylinders from the outer peripheral surface on the upper surface side (the upper side in FIG. The insertion protrusion 4301 protrudes outward, and a pair of third oscillating portions 4302 extends downward from the end surface on the bottom surface side (the lower side in FIGS. 43A and 43B). Has been. Further, a third locking claw 4303 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral surface at the end in the extending direction of the pair of third oscillating portions 4302. The outer diameter of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the third concave portion 43281, and the third cylindrical portion 4300 can be fitted into the inner peripheral side of the third concave portion 4281 and is fixed by an adhesive. It is configured to be possible (see FIG. 47).

  The third insertion protrusion 4301 is a part that is inserted into the third insertion groove 4281a of the third recess 4281, and is an imaginary line that connects the pair of outer coupling parts 4400 and the pair of inner coupling parts 4500 in a top view (FIG. It is formed at a position where the phase is shifted by 90 degrees from the vertical direction.

  The third oscillating portion 4302 is formed in a strip shape having a predetermined width, and can be oscillated in a direction in which the third oscillating portion 4302 approaches and separates from the axial center of the third cylindrical portion 4300. The third locking claw 4303 is a portion that is locked to the upper wall 4406 of the attachment side coupling portion 4306, and the surface (locking surface) connected to the third swinging portion 4302 is the axis of the third cylindrical portion 4300. The third cylindrical portion 4300 is formed so as to project outward while being orthogonal to the center and toward the distal end side (side away from the third swinging portion 4302, lower side in FIG. 43B). It is formed as a surface (tapered surface) that is inclined so as to be close to the axial center.

  Note that the pair of third oscillating portions 4302 and the pair of third locking claws 3303 are imaginary lines that connect the pair of outer connecting portions 4400 and the pair of inner connecting portions 4500 in the top view of the coupling member 4000 (FIG. 42 ( a) Up and down direction)

  Since the rotary operator 4600 is formed as a columnar body having a long cross section, the coupling member 4000 can be easily rotated by gripping and rotating the rotary operator 4600.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 44, a method of coupling and sealing the substrate box 4221 and the mounting base 3222 with the coupling member 4000 will be described. FIG. 44 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 4220. Note that FIG. 44 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along the line XXX-XXX in FIG. Further, in FIG. 44, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference numerals in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding.

  As described above, when the board box 4221 is slid and attached to the attachment base 4222, the lid-side coupling portion 4255 (first recess 4261) and the attachment-side coupling portion 4306 are disposed at positions facing each other. (State of FIG. 44). In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the first concave portion 4261 and the outer peripheral surface of the first cylindrical portion 4100 of the coupling member 4000, so that the first insertion protrusion 4101 is formed on the first concave portion 4261. The coupling member 4000 is pushed into the first recess 4261 at a position where it is inserted into the first insertion groove 4261a. When the third locking claw 4303 passes through the through-hole 4404 of the attachment side coupling portion 4306, the third locking claw 4303 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the engagement member 4000 by the third rocking portion 4302, and the attachment coupling portion. The coupling member 4000 is fixed to the first recess 4261 while being locked to the upper wall 406 of 4306.

  In this case, the coupling member 4000 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction by the engagement of the first insertion groove 4261a and the first insertion protrusion 4103, so the third locking claw 4303 of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is attached. The rotation to the position corresponding to the notch 4405 of the side coupling portion 4306 is restricted, and the coupling between the first recess 4261 and the attachment side coupling portion 4306 can be prevented from being released.

  Note that the first recess 4261 and the first cylindrical portion 4100 of the coupling member 4000 may be fixed by using ultrasonic welding in addition to the above-described adhesive or instead of the adhesive. That is, the first concave portion 4261 is welded by welding the upper end surface of the first concave portion 4261 and the bottom surface of the first fitting groove 4102 with an ultrasonic welding machine in contact with the upper surface of the first cylindrical portion 4100. The coupling portion seat 4000 (the first cylindrical portion 4100) may be fixed to the upper portion.

  Next, referring to FIG. 45 and FIG. 46, the second concave portion 4271 and the attachment side connection portion 4306 are connected using the connection member 4000 recovered along with the release of the seal, so that the board box 4221 and the attachment base are connected. A method of resealing 4222 will be described. 45 and 46 are partial cross-sectional views of the substrate unit 4220, and FIG. 45 illustrates a state where the first tube portion 4100 is separated from the coupling member 4000. 45 and 46 correspond to cross-sectional views taken along the line XXX-XXXX in FIG. In FIGS. 45 and 46, in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference numerals.

  In order to release the sealing of the board box 4221 and the mounting base 4222 from the state where the first concave portion 4261 and the mounting side coupling portion 4306 are coupled by the coupling member 4000, the inner peripheral side of the first cylindrical portion 4100 and the second cylinder The pair of outer connecting portions 4400 that connect the outer peripheral side of the portion 4200 is cut (broken) with a tool such as a nipper. When the outer connecting portion 4400 is cut, the first cylindrical portion 4100 is disconnected from the coupling member 4000, and the coupling member 4000 mainly composed of the second cylindrical portion 4200 and the third cylindrical portion 4300 can be rotated in the circumferential direction. Therefore, the third locking claw 4303 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 4405 by rotating the coupling member 4000 by 90 degrees using the operation rotor 4600.

  Thus, as shown in FIG. 45, the coupling member 4000 can be pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 4306 in a state where the first cylindrical portion 4100 separated from the coupling member 4000 is left in the first recess 4261. When the coupling member 4000 is pulled out, the sealing between the board box 4221 and the mounting base 4222 is released, and the board box 4221 slides and can be detached from the mounting base 4222. As described above, when the board box 4221 is removed from the mounting base 4222, the outer connecting portion 4400 is broken by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 4221 has been removed. it can.

  After acquiring the coupling member 4000 used for resealing (that is, the coupling member 4000 shown in FIG. 45 in which the first cylindrical portion 4100 is cut off), the board box 4221 is slid and attached to the mounting base 4222, The 2nd recessed part 4271 and the attachment side coupling | bond part 4306 are arrange | positioned in the position which mutually opposes.

  In this state, an adhesive is applied to one or both of the inner peripheral surface of the second concave portion 4271 and the outer peripheral surface of the second cylindrical portion 4200 of the coupling member 4000, so that the second insertion protrusion 4201 is formed on the second concave portion 4271. The coupling member 4000 is pushed into the second recess 4271 at a position where it is inserted into the first insertion groove 4271a. When the third locking claw 4303 passes through the through-hole 4404 of the attachment side coupling portion 4306, the third locking claw 4303 is swung outwardly in the radial direction of the engagement member 4000 by the third rocking portion 4302, and the attachment coupling portion. While being locked to the upper wall 406 of 4306, the coupling member 4000 is fixed to the second recess 4271 (state of FIG. 46).

  In this case, the coupling member 4000 is restricted from rotating in the circumferential direction by the engagement of the second insertion groove 4271a and the second insertion protrusion 4203, so that the third locking claw 4303 of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is attached. The rotation to the position corresponding to the notch 4405 of the side coupling portion 4306 is restricted, and the coupling of the second recess 4271 and the attachment side coupling portion 4306 can be prevented from being released.

  Note that the second concave portion 4271 and the second cylindrical portion 4200 of the coupling member 4000 may be fixed by using ultrasonic welding in addition to the above-described adhesive or instead of the adhesive. That is, the second concave portion 4271 is welded by welding the upper end surface of the second concave portion 4271 and the bottom surface of the second fitting groove 4202 with an ultrasonic welding machine in contact with the upper surface of the second cylindrical portion 4200. The coupling portion seat 4000 (second cylindrical portion 4200) may be fixed to the upper portion.

  Here, in order to release the sealing of the board box 4221 and the mounting base 4222 from the state in which the second concave portion 4271 and the mounting side coupling portion 4306 are coupled by the coupling member 4000, the inner peripheral side of the second cylindrical portion 4200 and A pair of inner connecting portions 4500 that connect the outer peripheral side of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is cut (broken) with a tool such as a nipper. When the inner connecting portion 4500 is cut, the second cylindrical portion 4200 is separated from the coupling member 4000, and the coupling member 4000 mainly constituted by the third cylindrical portion 4300 can be rotated in the circumferential direction. Utilizing this, the third locking claw 4303 is moved to a position corresponding to the notch 4405 by rotating the coupling member 4000 by 90 degrees.

  Accordingly, the coupling member 4000 can be pulled out from the attachment side coupling portion 4306 in a state where the second cylindrical portion 4200 separated from the coupling member 4000 is left in the second recess 4271. When the coupling member 4000 is pulled out, resealing between the board box 4221 and the mounting base 4222 is released, and the board box 4221 slides and can be detached from the mounting base 4222. As described above, when the board box 4221 is removed from the mounting base 4222, the inner connecting portion 4500 is destroyed by cutting, so that persons involved in the hall can easily confirm that the board box 4221 has been removed. it can.

  Next, with reference to FIG. 47, a method for sealing the substrate box 4221 using the coupling member 4000 recovered with the release of the reseal will be described. FIG. 47 is a partial cross-sectional view of the substrate unit 4220, and shows a state in which the substrate box 4221 is sealed by the coupling member 4000 (third cylindrical portion 4300). 47 corresponds to a cross-sectional view taken along line XXX-XXXX in FIG. Further, in FIG. 47, in order to simplify the drawing and facilitate understanding, only a part of the configuration will be described with reference numerals.

  When sealing the substrate box 4221 (the box base 4211 and the box lid 4212), the base-side return sealing portion 231 and the third recess 4281 are coupled by the coupling member 4000. That is, as described above, with the release of the first seal between the board box 4221 and the mounting base 4222, the removed coupling member 4000 of the first cylindrical portion 4100 is recovered, and the board box 4221 and the mounting base 4222 are separated. With the release of the second seal (reseal), the coupling member 4000 (third cylinder part 4300) from which the first cylinder part 4100 and the second cylinder part 4200 have been removed is collected.

  When the board box 4221 is assembled, the third concave portion 4281 and the base-side return seal portion 231 are arranged at positions facing each other, so that the inner peripheral surface of the third concave portion 4281 and the third cylindrical portion 4300 of the coupling member 4000 are arranged. Adhesive is applied to one or both of the outer peripheral surface, the third insertion protrusion 4301 of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is inserted into the third insertion groove 4281a of the third recess 4281, and the third connection receiving portion of the third recess 4281. At the position where the inner connecting portion 4500 remaining on the outer peripheral surface of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is inserted into 4281b (see FIGS. 39 and 42), the coupling member 4000 (third cylindrical portion 4300) is inserted into the third concave portion 4281. Push in. As a result, the third locking claw 4303 of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is locked to the upper wall of the base-side return seal portion 231, and the third recess 4281 and the base-side return seal portion 231 are sealed.

  In this case, the third locking claw 4303 of the third cylindrical portion 4300 is enclosed and sealed by a wall portion formed in a box shape so that the locking release is impossible. Therefore, the coupling member 4000 can seal the board box 4221 so that the board box 4221 cannot be opened when the board box 4221 is sent back to the manufacturer for repair of the main board 213 (see FIG. 5). It can be suppressed that the board box 4221 falls apart and parts are lost during the return process.

  In addition, the coupling member 4000 is configured to be reusable, but the board unit 4220 includes only one coupling member 4000. And since it is used also at the time of return to a maker and is returned to a maker, it can also suppress that the coupling member 4000 distribute | circulates to a market. Therefore, when the coupling member 3259 is distributed in the market, for example, when one board box is illegally manufactured from two board boxes, the use of the coupling member 4000 can be suppressed.

  Further, when the substrate box 4221 sealed by the coupling member 4000 is opened through the return sealing portions 231 and 4254, the third connecting portion 4282 must be cut with a tool such as a nipper. Even when the substrate box 4221 is opened in the middle of returning, a trace remains, and the opening of the substrate box 4221 can be found.

  In particular, since the third cylindrical portion 4300 and the third concave portion 4281 are fixed to the coupling member 4000 with an adhesive, it is difficult to remove the third concave portion 4281 and the coupling member 4000 is collected without leaving any trace. Can be prevented.

The other may be a mounting base to which the board box is attached, a cover member that covers the board box, a gaming machine main body to which the board box is attached, or any of a plurality of parts that need to be coupled in the gaming machine. .

  In each of the above embodiments, a case has been described in which a part of the coupling members 259, 3000, and 4000 is fixed to the lid side coupling portions 255, 2255, 3255, and 4255 of the substrate boxes 221, 2221, 3221, and 4221. It is not necessarily limited to this, and instead of this, or in addition to this, it may be configured to be fixed to the mounting base 222, 2222, 3222, 4222 side.

  When the coupling members 259, 3000, and 4000 are used for sealing the box bases 211, 2111, 3211, and 4211 and the box lids 212, 2212, 3212, and 4212 constituting the substrate boxes 221, 2221, 3221, and 4221, respectively. The coupling members 259, 3000, and 4000 may be fixed to one of the box bases 211, 2112, 3211, and 4211 and the box lids 212, 2212, 3212, and 4212, or may be fixed to both. .

  That is, it is sufficient that at least one of the first member and the second member has a fixing portion that is fixed to the coupling member (sealing member), and both the first member and the second member have the fixing portion. good.

  In each of the above-described embodiments, the case has been described in which the coupling member 259 includes the cylindrical member 331 and the insertion member 332 that is detachably inserted into the cylindrical member 331. However, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto. Alternatively, the cylindrical part seat 331 and the insertion member 332 may be integrally formed. That is, the coupling member 259 may be composed of a plurality of members or a single member.

  On the other hand, although the case where the coupling members 3000 and 4000 are configured by one member has been described, the present invention is not necessarily limited thereto, and the coupling members 3000 and 4000 can be configured by a plurality of members.

  In each of the above embodiments, a case has been described in which a part of a member to be sealed (substrate box 221, 2221, 3221, 4221) is fixed to the coupling member 259, 3000, 4000, but is not necessarily limited thereto. Instead, another member that is not a sealing target may be fixed to the coupling member 259, 3000, 4000 (sealing member).

  In the first and second embodiments, the tube-side insertion protrusion 343 of the coupling member 259 is in the first insertion groove 261 a of the first recess 261, and the first insertion protrusion 261 b of the first recess 261 is the second insertion of the second recess 271. In the second insertion groove 271a, the second insertion protrusion 271b of the second recess 271 is inserted into the third insertion groove 281a of the third recess 281 respectively, that is, the mating surface of the sealing member and the fixing portion or the fixing portion is fixed. A case has been described in which a convex portion is provided on one surface of the mating surface and a concave portion for receiving the convex portion is provided on the other surface. Is not limited to one place, and may be formed at a plurality of places.

  Similarly, in the third and fourth embodiments, the first to third insertion protrusions 3101 to 3301 and 4103 to 4303 of the coupling members 3000 and 4000 are replaced by the first to third recesses 3261 to 3281 and 4261 to 4281, respectively. Inserted into the first to third insertion grooves 3261a to 3281a, 4261a to 4281a, that is, to the mating surface of the sealing member and the fixing portion or the mating surface of the fixing portion and the fixing portion, on one surface of the mating surface The case where the convex portion is provided and the concave portion for receiving the convex portion is provided on the other surface has been described. However, the formation of the convex portion and the concave portion is not limited to two places, and is formed only at one place. It may be formed, and may be formed in multiple places.

And a sealing member that seals the first member and the second member, and the sealing member is used to reseal the first member and the second member, and the sealing The member has a shape before the first member and the second member are sealed by connecting the first seal portion and the second seal portion, and a shape after the seal of the first member and the second member is released. Is different.
The gaming machine described in the technical idea 2 is the gaming machine described in the technical idea 1, in which at least one of the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion is the sealing member in a sealed state of the first member and the second member. When the sealing of the first member and the second member is released, the sealing member is removed from the first member and the second member in a state where the fixing portion is fixed. .
The gaming machine described in the technical idea 3 is the gaming machine described in the technical idea 2, in which a plurality of sealing parts including the first sealing part and the second sealing part are formed, and the fixing part includes at least the sealing part. A gaming machine characterized in that the same number or more is formed.
<effect>
According to the gaming machine described in the technical idea 1, the first sealing portion and the second sealing portion are connected by the sealing member so that the first member and the second member are sealed, and the sealing member is removed by releasing the sealing. Is used to reseal the first and second members.
Thus, when the sealing member is reused, the sealing member needs to be easily removed. However, when the sealing member is configured to be easily removed, the sealing member is easily used for sealing other game machines (the first member and the second member), leading to an illegal act of disguising the sealing structure.
On the other hand, according to the present invention, the shape of the sealing member after releasing the sealing of the first member and the second member can be made different from the shape before sealing. Therefore, when the removed sealing member is used for sealing another game machine, it can be determined whether or not the sealing member has already been used for sealing. There is an effect that the act can be suppressed.
