Description

  The present invention relates to a sealing structure for a substrate case that houses a control substrate of a gaming machine.

A board case for housing a control board of a gaming machine is configured by combining two case members having a control board housing part and a sealing part.
The control board is stored in a storage space formed by combining the control board storage portions of these case members.

  In addition, when the control board storage part is combined so that the storage space is formed, the base case used for sealing the control board in the storage space is sealed by the two sealing parts. It is formed at the end of the combined control board storage unit.

At this time, the two sealing portions are arranged at a predetermined distance so that an insertion / extraction space is formed between them, and a cutting member is arranged in the insertion / extraction space.
Further, a sealing seal is affixed to the sealing base portion, and a groove is formed in the sealing portion so as to pass through a region to be attached where the sealing seal is affixed.

The cutting member is provided with a rupture portion that passes through the groove when inserted into and removed from the insertion / extraction space and damages the seal seal attached to the planned attachment region.
Sealing for this substrate case was performed by inserting a cutting member into the insertion / extraction space, and sticking a sealing seal across a pair of sealing portions constituting the sealing base portion into which this cutting member was inserted, and this sealing seal was affixed This is done by covering the sealing base with a cap formed of a transparent material.

The cap is provided with a protrusion inside, and when the cap is placed on the sealing base, the protrusion engages with a cutting member disposed in the insertion / extraction space.
Therefore, in this substrate case, when the cap is removed from the sealing base portion in order to release the seal, the cutting member is also extracted from the insertion / extraction space, and the cutting member cuts the sealing seal pasted over the sealing portion. Since the seal seal is broken by the breakage portion passing through the groove portion, it is possible to confirm whether or not an unauthorized act of illegally opening the substrate case has been performed by confirming the presence or absence of these cut traces or damage traces (for example, , See Patent Document 1).

JP 2010-167124 A

By the way, in the fraudulent act, there is a possibility that there is a fraudulent act that can be performed if it is pulled out partway without pulling out all the cutting members from the sealing base.
In that case, if the distance between the position where the fracture portion is located before the cutting member is extracted from the insertion / extraction space and the seal sticker attached to the seal attachment portion is long, the seal seal may not be damaged.

  An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate case sealing structure capable of reliably preventing an illegal act by reliably detecting the illegal act.

(Sealing the substrate case and attaching / detaching the cap)
Next, sealing of the substrate case and attachment / detachment of the cap will be described.

  Here, FIG. 18 is an explanatory diagram for explaining the sealing of the substrate case and the attachment and detachment of the cap. FIG. 18A shows the cutting base, the seal member, and the cap attached to the sealing base 5. (B) shows a state where a cutting member is attached, (c) shows a state where a seal seal is attached, and (d) shows a state where a cap is attached. (E) shows a state where the cutting member and the cap are removed. For the sake of simplicity, the cap is shown by removing the side surface on the back side of the box portion constituting the cap. For the substrate case, only the outer case member is shown.

    FIG. 19 is an explanatory diagram for explaining a state in which the cutting member is engaged with the cap in the cap, and is a front view seen from the back side of the gaming machine, and shows the side surface on the back side of the box part constituting the cap. It is the drawing which removed.

Hereinafter, a state where the cutting member 6, the seal 7 and the cap 8 are attached to the sealing base portion 5 and a state where the cap 8 is removed from the sealing base portion 5 will be described in order.
As shown to Fig.18 (a), in this embodiment, the cutting member 6, the seal seal 7, and the cap 8 are attached with respect to the sealing base part 5 in this order.

As shown in FIG. 18B, first, the cutting member 6 is attached to the sealing base portion 5 by inserting the cutting member 6 into the insertion / extraction space 5a.
As described above with reference to FIG. 16, at this time, when the cutting member 6 is inserted into the insertion / extraction space 5 a, the cutting member 6 has the inclined surface 650 formed in the mounting groove 65. The support protrusion 564 provided on the sealing portion 56 side and the surface on the insertion / extraction space 5a side of the sealing portion 56 are sandwiched between and fixed to the sealing portion 56. As a result, the cutting member 6 is fixed in the sealing portion 56 when inserted into the insertion / extraction space 5a.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18 (c), the substrate case 3 is sealed by attaching the seal seal 7 to the above-mentioned scheduled attachment range 5 b (see FIG. 11) of the sealing base portion 5. As shown in FIG. 12, at this time, the seal seal 7 is attached so as not to be related to the broken portions 621 and 631.

Next, as shown in FIG. 18 (d), the cap 8 is attached to the sealing base portion 5.
As shown in FIG. 19, at this time, the free end 61 a of the knob 61 of the cutting member 6 engages with a protrusion 82 formed on the inner surface of the cap 8, so that the cutting member 6 is integrated with the cap 8. To do.

  As shown in FIG. 7, at this time, the first screwing piece 91 of the inner case member 40, the second screwing piece 96 of the outer case member 45, and the third screwing piece 98 of the cap 8 are combined. By forming the screwing portion 9 and driving the caulking member 30 into the screwing portion 9, the inner case member 40, the outer case member 45, and the cap 8 are fixed to each other.

  Next, as shown in FIG. 18E, when the seal of the substrate case 3 is released, the caulking member 30 is removed and the cap 8 is removed from the sealing base portion 5. The same applies when the substrate case 3 is unsealed.

When the cap 8 is removed from the sealing base portion 5, as described above, the cutting member 6 and the cap 8 are integrated, so that the cutting member 6 is also removed from the sealing base portion 5 at the same time.
Then, a plurality of unrecoverable scratches are attached to the seal seal 7 by the fracture portions 621 and 631 and the cutting portion 64.

Here, how the seal seal 7 is broken will be described with reference to FIG.
FIG. 20 is a perspective view for explaining how the seal seal is broken, and only the cutting member and the seal seal are shown for easy explanation.

The cutting member 6 is extracted by breaking the sealing seal 7 covering the portion γ (see FIG. 10A) extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a at the cutting portion 64.
Further, each of the broken portions 621 and 631 is scraped off while the seal seal 7 is crushed along the insertion / extraction direction by the low standing portion 62 being guided by the groove portion 562 and the high standing portion 63 being guided by the groove portion 562. .

  Each rupture portion 621, 631 is provided with concave portions 621a, 631a that are concave toward the rear side 60b, but by forming these, two tip portions (the rupture portion 621 is indicated by reference numeral 621b, The breaking portion 631 is formed in a shape having a portion indicated by reference numeral 631b.

  Therefore, when the seal seal 7 is damaged by the break portions 621 and 631, the seal seal 7 is cut by the tip portions 621b and 631b of the break portions 621 and 631, and the seal cut between the tip portions 621b and 631b. The seal 7 is folded and the adhesive surfaces of the seal seal 7 are overlapped, so that a lump X that cannot be easily restored is obtained.

  In addition, since the sealing seal 7 of this embodiment has a plurality of cuts 70, the seals 7 are easily damaged at the cuts 70. Therefore, when the sealing seal 7 is broken at the breaking portions 621 and 631, the broken seal wraps around the seals in the vicinity of the groove portions 512 and 562, and breaks the sealing seal 7 while peeling off the portions that are easily cut by the cuts 70.

  In this way, if the sealing seal 7 is damaged by the cutting member 6 of the present embodiment, the damage will be caused by irreparably strong damage and breakage. Therefore, even if the cutting member is returned to the insertion / extraction space after an illegal act has occurred. , The wound will not be blocked.

  Therefore, when the cap 8 is removed from the sealing base portion 5 due to fraud or the like, and the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a, the fracture portions 621 and 631 scrape off the sealing seal 7 attached to the planned attachment range 5b. Therefore, even if the cutting member 6 is returned to the insertion / extraction space 5a after an illegal act, the damage is not blocked.

Further, even if the scraped lump X is stretched to close the wound, wrinkles and damaged parts are left to the extent that it is possible to clearly determine that an illegal act has been performed.
Although the cut 70 is not completely cut, the cut 70 may be formed with a deep groove so as to be easily cut with a weak force, or may be a perforation.

  Moreover, in order to avoid duplication of description, the state in which the seal seal 7 is broken is described with reference to FIG. 21 showing only the broken portion 621, but the seal seal 7 is also broken similarly in the broken portion 631.

  The substrate case 3 of this embodiment includes two case members 40 and 45 having control substrate storage portions 41 and 46 and sealing portions 51 and 56. The control substrate storage portions 41 and 46 store the control substrate S therein. When combined so as to form a space, the sealing portions 51, 56 are arranged so as to face each other so that the insertion / extraction space 5a is formed between the sealing portions 51, 56. 56 is a sealing base portion 5 formed by 56, a cutting member 6 that can be inserted into and removed from the insertion / extraction space 5 a, and a groove portion provided in the sealing portions 51 and 56, and set on the outer surface of the sealing base portion 5. Grooves 512 and 562 formed along the insertion / extraction direction through which the cutting member 6 is inserted into and extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a through the planned attachment range 5b of the seal seal 7, and the breaking portion 621 provided in the cutting member 6 631, and the cutting member 6 is inserted / removed space 5a. And a cap 8 that is attached to the sealing base portion 5 by being attached to the sealing base portion 5 by passing through the respective groove portions when being inserted and extracted, and damaging the seal seal 7 attached to the attachment range 5b. A cap 8 that engages with the cutting member 6 located in the insertion / extraction space 5a when covered with the base portion 5, and the breaking portions 621, 631 are groove portions 512, when the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a, The seal seal 7 pasted on the planned attachment range 5b is cut across 562.

  In this embodiment, when the cap 8 is removed from the sealing base portion 5 and the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a due to fraud, the sealing seal 7 in which the rupture portions 621 and 631 are attached to the scheduled attachment range 5b. Therefore, even if the cutting member 6 is returned to the insertion / extraction space 5a after an illegal act, the damage is not blocked.

  Therefore, in this embodiment, if the seal of the substrate case 3 is illegally released, the inspector can surely see the scratches that can be made on the seal seal 7 in accordance with the illegal action. It is possible to reliably recognize that there was.

  Further, in this embodiment, if the seal of the substrate case 3 is illegally released, the store side is surely recognized that there has been an illegal act, and this acts as a check against the fraudster. The use of the substrate case 3 can suppress the occurrence of fraud.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a, the two end portions 621a, 621b, 631a, 631b projecting toward the advancing side that advances in the groove portions 562, 562 when the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a. It is formed in the shape which has.

  In this way, when the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a, the respective distal end portions of the fracture portions 621 and 631 make a cut in the seal, and the seal positioned between the cuts is placed between the respective distal end portions. This is because it is easy to make strong scratches with damage that cannot be recovered, while scraping away.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, the groove parts 562 and 562 are made to pass the part on which the hologram 71 of the seal sticker 7 pasted on the planned attachment range 5b is printed. This is because the hologram 71 is extremely difficult to repair, and therefore, if the hologram 71 is scratched, it is extremely difficult to repair it. In the present embodiment, the groove portions 562 and 562 do not pass through the portion where the QR code is printed, but may pass through this portion.

  In the present embodiment, the groove portions 562 and 562 are provided in the respective sealing portions 51 and 56, and the respective broken portions 621 and 631 are provided for the groove portions 562 and 562 provided in the respective sealing portions 51 and 56. It has been.

  If the groove portions 562 and 562 are provided in the respective sealing portions 51 and 56 in this way, the sealing seal 7 is scratched by the respective sealing portions 51 and 56. Therefore, when there is an illegal act, the sealing seal 7 is repaired. Because it becomes difficult.

  Moreover, in this embodiment, when the cutting member 6 is accommodated in the insertion / extraction space 5a, the fracture | rupture part 621 is located outside the frame line part 561, ie, the outer side of the scheduled attachment range 5b of the seal seal 7.

This is because the clearance between the seal seal 7 and the fracture portion 621 can be secured and the degree of freedom for attaching the seal seal 7 is improved.
[Second Embodiment]
Next, a second embodiment will be described.

Only differences from the first embodiment will be described below.
Here, FIG. 21 is a diagram showing a state in which the seal seal used in the second embodiment is attached to the sealing base, (a) front view of the sealing base, (b) rear view, (c) FIG. FIG. 22 is a (a) front view, (b) rear view, (c) front view, and (d) rear view of a sealing base part to which a seal seal is attached. (A) and (b) are cutting members. It is a figure when a little is extracted, (c) (d) is a figure when many cutting members are extracted. FIG. 23 is a front view of the sealing base portion.

  As shown in FIG. 12, in the first embodiment, when the cutting member 6 is inserted into the insertion / extraction space 5a, the sealing seal 7 having such a size that the end portion of the sealing seal 7 reaches the vicinity of both fractured portions 621 and 631 is provided. As shown in FIG. 21, in the second embodiment, when the one end of the seal seal 7 is attached to the planned attachment range so as to be located in the vicinity of the fracture portion 631, the other end of the seal seal 7 is used. A seal seal 7 having a size such that the portion is located at a position away from the fracture portion 621 is used. As shown in FIG. 13B, when viewed in plan, the seal seal 7 used in the second embodiment is smaller in width in the vertical direction than the seal seal 7 used in the first embodiment.

  On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 15, the cutting member 6 used in the second embodiment is the same as that used in the first embodiment. This is because the broken portions 621 and 631 are located along the insertion / extraction direction. When viewed, the positional relationship is different, that is, the so-called uneven positional relationship.

  Therefore, when the seal seal 7 having the size used in the second embodiment is attached as described above, the distance between the respective broken portions 621 and 631 and the seal seal 7 is different for each broken portion 621 and 631.

  As shown in FIGS. 22 (a) and 22 (b), in this way, even if there is an illegal act performed by pulling out the cutting member 6 halfway, the breaking portion 621 disposed at a position far from the seal seal 7 is Although the seal seal 7 cannot be scratched (FIG. 22A), the broken portion 631 disposed at a position near the seal seal 7 surely scratches the seal seal 7 (FIG. 22B). , You can definitely find that fraud.

  As shown in FIGS. 22 (c) and 22 (d), when there is an illegal act performed by pulling the cutting member 6 for a long time, the breaking portion 621 arranged at a position far from the seal seal 7 is also attached to the seal seal 7. Because it hurts, it can be seen that there was such a fraud. That is, in the second embodiment, it can be seen how much the cutting member 6 has been extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a, so it is possible to easily identify what fraudulent activity has been performed according to the degree.

As shown in FIG. 23, in the second embodiment, the frame line portion 561 provided in the sealing portion 56 is compared with the first embodiment in the direction in which the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space. You may provide in the position which moved to (the direction side of (a) in the figure). In this case, the scheduled attachment range 5b is narrower than that of the first embodiment.
[Third Embodiment]
Next, a third embodiment will be described.

Only differences from the first embodiment will be described below.
Here, FIG. 24 is a perspective view of the cutting member, and FIGS. 25 and 26 are perspective views showing other shapes of the fracture portion.

  In the first embodiment, the rupture portions 621 and 631 are formed in a trapezoidal shape and both are formed in the same shape. However, as shown in FIG. 25, the shapes of the rupture portions 621 and 631 are different. It is good.

In FIG. 24, the shape of one of the rupture portions 621 of the pair of rupture portions 621 is a W-shape having three tip portions 621b.
If the shapes of the fracture parts 621 and 631 are different, the scars may be different when the seal seal 7 is damaged. Therefore, by identifying the shape, it is possible to quickly identify what fraud has been performed. .

  Moreover, as a shape of the fracture | rupture parts 621 and 631, as long as it is a shape which has two or more front-end | tip parts 621b, as shown in FIG. 25, (a) The shape of the saw blade, Any shape such as (b) a triangular shape or (c) a semicircular shape may be used.

As shown in FIG. 26, each fracture | rupture part 621,631 may have the blade edge 622,623 of a different angle ((theta) 1, (theta) 2) with respect to the insertion / extraction direction.
[Other Embodiments]
Although the embodiment has been described above, it is needless to say that the invention described in the claims is not limited to the above embodiment and can take various forms.

(1) The board case 3 described in the above embodiment can be used as a means for accommodating a control board equipped in a gaming machine such as a pachinko gaming machine or a slot machine.
(2) As shown in FIG. 27, in the above-described embodiment, the fracture portions 621 and 631 are planar, that is, facing the advancing side that advances in the groove portions 512 and 562 when the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a. It is good also as a shape in which the cutting surface 621c was formed.

The scraping surface 621c may be substantially perpendicular to the insertion / extraction direction.
This is because when the cutting member 6 is extracted from the insertion / extraction space 5a, the scraping surface is scraped off while crushing the sealing seal 7 in contact therewith.

  (3) As shown in FIG. 28, in the said embodiment, although it comprised so that the fracture | rupture part 621 and the fracture | rupture part 631 may become a step difference, you may comprise so that the two fracture | rupture part 621 may become a step difference. In this case, it is preferable that the one rupture portion 621 has a long shape along the insertion / removal direction as compared with the other rupture portion 621 as in the rupture portion 631.

  (4) As shown in FIG. 8, in the above embodiment, each case member 40, 45 can be opened and closed by sliding in opposite directions as indicated by an arrow α, but the opening and closing method is not limited to this. is not.

For example, it is good also as a structure which open | releases both case members 40 and 45 in the direction orthogonal to the surface of a control board. Also in this case, the sealing structure of the present invention can be applied.
(5) In the above embodiment, the sealing base portion 5 is provided in a shape protruding from one short side of each case member 40, 45. However, a shape protruding from the long side of each case member 40, 45 is provided. May be provided.

[Description of invention included in embodiment]
A conventional board case is attached to a gaming machine in such a manner that one case member is stacked on the back of the gaming machine and the other case member is stacked thereon. Therefore, the direction in which the cutting member is extracted from the sealing base portion is a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the case members are stacked (the direction along the back of the gaming machine).

  The conventional substrate case has not been provided with the above-described fracture portion. Therefore, in order to confirm the portion where the cutting member cuts the seal seal, it cannot be confirmed unless the face is directed in the direction along the back of the gaming machine. In addition, since a plurality of devices are provided on the back of the gaming machine, these devices may conceal the portion where the sealing seal is cut by the cutting member, in which case the board case is completely removed from the gaming machine. Otherwise, it may not be possible to confirm whether the cutting member is cutting the seal seal or to confirm the fracture surface, that is, whether or not there has been an illegal act.

  However, in the conventional board case, the cutting member is provided with a breaking portion, and the surface on which the groove portion through which the breaking portion passes is directed to the back side of the gaming machine. As a result, it was possible to confirm whether or not the broken portion was damaging the seal seal, that is, whether or not there was an illegal act. Therefore, when the above-described board case was used, it was possible to confirm whether there was an illegal act without removing the board case from the gaming machine.

By the way, in the fraudulent act, there is a possibility that there is a fraudulent act that can be performed if it is pulled out partway without pulling out all the cutting members from the sealing base.
In that case, if the distance between the position where the fracture portion is located before the cutting member is extracted from the insertion / extraction space and the seal sticker attached to the seal attachment portion is long, the seal seal may not be damaged.

In view of this, the substrate case of the present invention employs a sealing structure that can reliably detect an illegal act performed by pulling the cutting member halfway.
Specifically, the first invention relating to the sealing structure of the substrate case (1)
Two case members (40 having a control board storage part (41, 46) and a sealing part (51, 56)
45) are combined so that the control board storage part forms a storage space for storing the control board, so that the insertion / extraction space (5a) is formed between the sealing parts.
