Description

  The present invention relates to a gaming machine board case used for housing various electronic boards in a gaming machine, and a gaming machine equipped with the gaming machine board case.

  Gaming machines can be subject to various cheating activities. For example, a main control board is accommodated in the housing of the gaming machine, and a storage device (usually a ROM) in which a program for controlling the gaming machine is recorded is mounted on the main control board. However, there is known an illegal act of replacing this storage device with a forged one (so-called forged ROM). In order to prevent this type of fraud, each manufacturer of gaming machines has a structure in which an electronic board such as a main control board is housed and sealed in a case (a board case for gaming machines). The specific form of the board case for gaming machines varies depending on the type of electronic board accommodated therein and the installation location thereof, but a base member that covers the lower surface side of the electronic board and a cover that covers the upper surface side of the electronic board. The thing provided with the member is common.

  By the way, as mentioned above, in the board case for game machines provided with the base member and the cover member, the sealing seal is also affixed on the outer surface. This type of seal seal is usually applied so as to straddle the boundary between the base member and the cover member (for example, the seal seal 700 in FIG. 2 of Patent Document 1 and the seal application portion in FIGS. 3 and 4 of the same document). 7c and paragraph 0034 of the same document). Thereby, the board case for gaming machines may be illegally opened (the cover member has been illegally removed from the base member) by observing the state of the sealing sticker attached to the board case for gaming machines. It is possible to easily identify whether or not unauthorized access to the electronic board accommodated in the board case for gaming machines is easily made.

Japanese Patent Laying-Open No. 2015-083087

  However, in the board case for gaming machines of Patent Document 1 (the control board case 7 in FIGS. 2 and 3 of the same document), the “wrinkle” or There is a possibility that a state of “floating” may occur, and there is a possibility that it may be mistaken for having been opened illegally even though it has not been opened illegally.

  This is because, in the board case for gaming machines of Patent Document 1, a flange provided to project outward from the side wall portion (the storage-side upper wall 8d in FIG. 4) of the base member (the base body 8 in FIG. 4 of the same document). The upper surface of the front end side of the cover portion and the upper surface of the flange portion projecting outward from the side wall portion (the storage-side upper inner wall 9d in the drawing) of the cover member (the cover body 9 in the drawing) are attached with a sealing seal. When it is a sticking part for sticking (seal sticking part 7c in the same figure), a part protruding outward from the board case for gaming machines, such as these flange parts, is a place where objects are easily hit. In addition, there is no supporting portion on the lower side, and it is also a place where deformation such as bending is likely to occur.

  In this regard, in the board case for gaming machines of Patent Document 1, if a supporting structure is provided to support the lower side of the flange portion of the base member, the flange portion can be made difficult to be deformed. It is impossible to solve the fundamental problem of being easy to hit. In addition, since the support structure for the flange portion is provided, the board case for the gaming machine is increased in size, and there is a problem that the space in the housing of the gaming machine cannot be used efficiently. In addition to the large number of devices arranged in the housing of the gaming machine, it is also necessary to secure a heat radiation space, and therefore it is not preferable to increase the size of the gaming machine substrate case.

  The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and provides a board case for a gaming machine in which “wrinkles” and “floating” are less likely to occur on a seal sticker attached thereto. . It is also an object of the present invention to provide such a gaming machine substrate case without increasing its size. Furthermore, it is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine provided with the gaming machine substrate case.

Provided is a board case for a gaming machine characterized in that a flange portion is fitted into a flange fitting concave portion so that a rear surface of the flange portion and a front surface of the flange fitting concave portion are substantially in contact with each other. Solved by.

  With this configuration, the seal sticking portion (the base-side seal sticking portion and the cover-side seal sticking portion) can be provided on a portion of the gaming machine substrate case that does not protrude outward. For this reason, a support structure that leads to an increase in the size of the board case for gaming machines as described above, as well as making it difficult for objects to hit the sticker sticking part during transportation or assembly work of the gaming machine board case. This eliminates the need for a separate board case for gaming machines. Further, not only the flange portion of the base member is supported by the front surface of the flange fitting recess of the cover member, but also the periphery of the flange fitting recess of the cover member can be supported by the first cover side wall portion. Furthermore, the outer surface of the first cover side wall portion can be supported by the inner surface of the first base side wall portion, and the first cover side wall portion can be made difficult to deform. In this way, even when an external force is applied to the seal sticking portion or the periphery of the gaming machine substrate case by providing a strong structure around the seal sticking portion of the gaming machine substrate case. It is possible to make it difficult for deformation to occur in the portion. Therefore, “wrinkles” and “float” are less likely to occur on the seal sticker that is affixed to the gaming machine substrate case, and the gaming machine substrate case can be opened illegally even though it has not been opened illegally. It is possible to prevent misunderstanding that it has happened. Here, the phrase "front" in the description such as "front side of the base member" or "cover front wall part", or the phrase "rear" in the description such as "base rear wall part" or "projecting to the rear side" In order to make it easier to understand the relative positional relationship of each part, the side on which the cover member is arranged as viewed from the base member is the “front” side, and the side on which the base member is arranged as viewed from the cover member is the “rear” side However, it does not limit the absolute arrangement direction or the like of the gaming machine substrate case. Further, in this specification, when the base member or the cover member is viewed from the front, the side toward the center of the base member or the cover member is referred to as the “inside” side, and the opposite side is referred to as the “outside” side. Yes.

Also, with this configuration, as shown in FIG. 29A, when the base member 110 and the cover member 120 are assembled, the inner end (end on the negative side in the z-axis direction) and the flange on the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 A clearance C can be provided between an outer end (end on the positive side in the z-axis direction) of the front surface 127a of the fitting recess 127, and the flange 115 can be easily fitted into the flange fitting recess 127. It becomes possible. In addition, as shown in FIG. 29B, in the state where the base member 110 and the cover member 120 are assembled, the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 and the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 are made to be in close contact with each other. The entire flange portion 115 can be firmly supported by the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127. For this reason, it becomes possible to make it difficult to produce deformation | transformation, such as a bending, in the sticker sticking part A in the substrate case 100 for gaming machines.

In the board case for gaming machines of the present invention,
In the flange part, in the place along the outer edge of the base side seal sticking part, and providing the base side ridges,
It is also preferable to provide a cover-side convex strip at a location along the outer edge of the cover-side seal sticking portion in the cover front wall.

  With this configuration, the end of the seal sticker affixed to the board case for gaming machines is protected by the base-side ridge portion or the cover-side ridge portion, and between the rear surface of the seal seal and the front surface of the seal attachment portion. It becomes possible to prevent the blade of the cutter knife from being inserted illegally. For this reason, it is possible to prevent the seal seal from being illegally peeled off from the seal sticking portion without leaving a trace such as a tear on the seal seal.

In the board case for gaming machines of the present invention,
In front of the cover member,

It is also preferable that the second recess is a flange fitting recess.

  With this configuration, the front surface of the base-side seal sticking portion and the front surface of the cover-side seal sticking portion can be provided at a position one step lower than the front surface around the seal sticking portion in the cover member. For this reason, even if it does not provide the above-mentioned base side ridge part and cover side ridge part in the state where it protruded ahead rather than the front of the cover front wall part, the seal seal stuck on the board case for gaming machines It becomes possible to protect the ends. If the base-side ridges and the cover-side ridges are provided in a state of protruding forward from the front surface of the cover front wall, it is easy for objects to hit these ridges, and the ridges are damaged, There is a possibility that external force applied to the ridges may spread to the seal sticking part, so that the base-side ridges and the cover-side ridges do not protrude forward from the front surface of the cover front wall. It is possible to prevent problems from occurring. By adopting this configuration, it is possible to protect the end of the seal seal without providing the base-side ridges and the cover-side ridges.

In the board case for gaming machines of the present invention,

As with the base-side ridge portion 116 described above, the cover-side ridge portion 126 is not inserted with a cutter knife blade or the like on the rear surface (seal surface) side of the seal seal 200 attached to the seal application portion A. Therefore, the end of the seal seal 200 is protected. In this embodiment, the cover-side ridge 126 is combined with the base-side ridge 116 so that the entire peripheral portion of the seal seal 200 affixed to the seal affixing part A is protected as shown in FIG. It has come to be. Projection height of the cover-side convex portion 126 (projection height from the cover side seal attachment unit A ₂₎ is usually high and comparable projection of the base-side convex portion 116 mentioned above.

As shown in FIG. 3, a rectangular region adjacent to the upper side of the cover-side seal sticking portion A ₂ on the front surface of the cover front wall portion 121 (when the cover member 120 is attached to the base member 110, the flange portion 115 (a rectangular region overlapping with the front-rear direction 115) is provided with a flange fitting recess 127. The flange fitting concave portion 127 is a portion for fitting the flange portion 115 in the base member 110. The flange fitting recess 127 by fitting the flange portion 115, when assembled with the cover member 120 relative to the base member 110, between the base-side seal attachment unit A ₁ and the cover side seal attachment unit A ₂ it is possible to longitudinal direction of the step is prevented from being formed (the base-side seal attachment unit a ₁ and the cover side seal attachment unit a ₂ is made to be flush) on. In this embodiment, the front view shape of the flange fitting recess 127 is substantially the same as the front view shape of the flange portion 115, and the depth of the flange fitting recess 127 (depth from the front surface of the cover front wall portion 121).

2.1.3 Effects The gaming machine substrate case 100 according to the first embodiment described above is less likely to cause “wrinkles”, “float”, etc. in the seal sticker 200 attached to the sticker attaching portion A. Even though the gaming machine substrate case 100 has not been opened illegally, it can be prevented from being mistaken for having been opened illegally.

  This is because when an object hits the sticking part A during transportation or assembly work of the gaming machine substrate case 100, the sticking part A is deformed and attached to the sticking part A. Where there is a possibility that “wrinkles”, “floating” or the like may occur in the sealed seal 200, in the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the first embodiment, as shown in FIG. It is provided on a portion of the substrate case 100 that does not protrude outward from each side wall portion (base side wall portions 112, 113, 114, cover side wall portion 125, etc.) (a portion that enters inside from each side wall portion), and has a seal. This is because an object is difficult to hit the affixing portion A.

  In addition, in the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the first embodiment, since the rigidity of the peripheral portion of the seal pasting portion A in the gaming machine substrate case 100 is high, the sticking to the seal pasting portion A is also performed in this respect. The sealed seal 200 thus formed has a structure in which “wrinkles”, “floating” and the like are unlikely to occur. That is, even when an external force is applied by hitting an object such as a sticking part A or its peripheral part in the board case 100 for gaming machines, as shown in FIGS. The rear surface 115 a of the flange portion 115 of the member 110 is supported by the front surface 127 a of the flange fitting recess 127 of the cover member 120.

In the gaming machine substrate case 100 according to the fourth embodiment, the flange portion 115 is connected to both the first base side wall portion 112 and the second base side wall portion 113.

On the other hand, in the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the fifth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 21 to 23, the flange portion 115 forming the base side seal sticking portion A ₁ has the first base side wall portion 112 and the first base side wall portion 112. As for the fact that the flange portion 115 is connected to the first base side wall portion 112 and that the flange portion 115 is connected to the first base side wall portion 112 and the fourth base side wall portion 113. Although the same as the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the embodiment, the flange 115 is not connected to the second base side wall 113. In other words, in the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the fifth embodiment, a slight gap 110f is provided between the flange portion 115 and the second base side wall portion 113, as shown in FIG. When the cover member 120 is assembled to the base member 110, the gap 110f is filled with the protruding portion 120f of the cover member 120 as shown in FIG. The projecting portion 120f has a shape curved in a “U” cross section and is a high strength portion. For this reason, the board case 100 for gaming machines of the fifth embodiment is different from the board case 100 for gaming machines of the third embodiment and the fourth embodiment in the first cover side wall portion 122 and the second side in the cover member 120. The rigidity around the corner portion with the cover side wall portion 123 is high, and the flange portion 115 of the base member 110 can be supported in a state in which deformation is less likely to occur.

  In the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the fifth embodiment, the width W (FIG. 24) of the gap 110f between the flange 115 and the second base side wall 113 is not particularly limited. It is necessary to narrow the width of the protruding portion 120f to be fitted, and there is a possibility that it is difficult to increase the strength of the protruding portion 120f. For this reason, the width W of the gap 110f is usually 3 mm or more. The width W of the gap 110f is preferably 5 mm or more, and more preferably 7 mm or more. On the other hand, if the width W of the gap 110f is too large, the distance from the flange fitting recess 127 to the second cover side wall 123 is increased, and the second cover side wall 123 is formed at the periphery of the seal sticking part A. There is a possibility that it will be difficult to contribute to the improvement of rigidity (the flange portion 115 is not positioned at the corner portion formed by the first base side wall portion 112 and the second base side wall portion 113). For this reason, the width W of the gap 110f is normally 30 mm or less. The width W of the gap 110f is preferably 25 mm or less, and more preferably 20 mm or less.

  Since the configuration that is not particularly referred to for the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the fifth embodiment is substantially the same as the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the other embodiments described above, a detailed description of the configuration is omitted.

2.6 Game Machine Board Case According to Sixth Embodiment Subsequently, the game machine board case 100 according to the sixth embodiment will be described. FIG. 25 is a front perspective view showing an exploded state of the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the sixth embodiment. FIG. 26 is a front perspective view showing a state after the sealing seal 200 is pasted on the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the sixth embodiment. FIG. 27 is a front view showing a state after the sealing seal 200 is attached to the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the sixth embodiment. FIG. 28 is a cross-sectional view showing the periphery of the sticking portion A in the gaming machine substrate case 200 of the sixth embodiment, and FIG. 28 (a) is a cross-sectional view taken along line X ₁ -X ₁ in FIG. (B) shows a Z ₁ -Z ₁ cross section in FIG. 27, and FIG. 28 (c) shows a Z ₂ -Z ₂ cross section in FIG. 27, respectively.

The gaming machine board case 100 of the sixth embodiment is a combination of the good points of the gaming machine board case 100 of the second embodiment and the gaming machine board case 100 of the fifth embodiment. That is, in the board case 100 for a game machine of the sixth embodiment, (a state in which a gap 110f) flange portion 115 that forms the base side seal attachment unit A ₁ is, in the second base side walls 113 unconnected state And provided at a corner formed by the first base side wall 112 and the second base side wall 113. This is the same as the gaming machine substrate case 100 (FIGS. 21 to 24) of the fifth embodiment. Further, in the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the sixth embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 25 and 28, the front surface of the sticker sticking portion A (the sticker sticking surface) is lower than the front surface of the cover front wall portion 121 (y (Position on the positive side in the axial direction). This is the same as the gaming machine substrate case 100 (FIGS. 9 to 13) of the second embodiment. For this reason, in the board case 100 for gaming machines of the sixth embodiment, the rigidity of the cover member 120 around the corners of the first cover side wall part 122 and the second cover side wall part 123 is increased, and the base member The flange portion 115 of 110 can be supported in a state in which deformation is less likely to occur, and the base-side protruding portion 116 and the cover side, which are a concern in the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the fifth embodiment, It is also possible to prevent damage to the gaming machine substrate case 100 starting from the ridge 126.

  Since the configuration that is not particularly referred to for the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the sixth embodiment is substantially the same as the gaming machine substrate case 100 of the other embodiments described above, a detailed description of the configuration is omitted.

2.7 Others By the way, in the board case 100 for gaming machines from the first embodiment to the sixth embodiment described above, for example, as shown in FIG. Are formed so as to be perpendicular to the base side wall portion 112 (the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 is parallel to the xz plane), and the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 is the first cover. It was formed so as to be perpendicular to the side wall portion 122 (the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 was parallel to the xz plane). However, as shown in FIG. 29, the flange 115 and the flange fitting recess 127 are also preferably formed by inclining the rear surface 115a and the front surface 127a. Figure 9 shows a state where the surface 115a and aspects of the gaming machine board case 100 is tilted front 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 after the flange portion 115, taken along a plane corresponding to _X 1 -X ₁ side in FIG. 7 It is sectional drawing which showed. FIG. 29A shows a state where the cover member 120 is slid upward with respect to the base member 110, and FIG. 29B shows a state after the cover member 120 is assembled with the base member 110. ing.

  In the gaming machine substrate case 100 shown in FIG. 29, the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 has an inner end side (an end portion on the z-axis direction negative side) as an outer end side (an end portion on the z-axis direction positive side). ) And the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 is inclined at the same inclination angle as the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115. Inclined at φ. For this reason, as shown in FIG. 29A, when the cover member 120 is assembled to the base member 110, the inner end of the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 and the outer end of the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 are formed. A clearance C is provided between them, and the flange 115 can be easily fitted into the flange fitting recess 127. Further, as shown in FIG. 29B, in the state where the cover member 120 is assembled to the base member 110, the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 and the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 are easily adhered. In addition, the entire rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 can be firmly supported by the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127. For this reason, it is possible to further prevent deformation such as bending from occurring in the sticker sticking portion A in the board case 100 for gaming machines.

  When the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 or the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 is inclined, is the inclination angle θ of the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 the same as the inclination angle φ of the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127? The angle is slightly smaller than the inclination angle φ. Specific values of the inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are not particularly limited. However, if the inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are too small, the above-described effect is hardly achieved, and the significance of inclining the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 and the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 decreases. For this reason, the inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are normally set to 1 ° or more. The inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are preferably 2 ° or more, and more preferably 3 ° or more. On the other hand, when the inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are excessively large, it is difficult to visually recognize the seal sticker attached to the sticker attaching portion A from the front of the gaming machine substrate case 100. For this reason, the inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are usually 60 ° or less. The inclination angle θ and the inclination angle φ are preferably 45 ° or less, and more preferably 30 ° or less.

  The configuration in which the rear surface 115a of the flange portion 115 and the front surface 127a of the flange fitting recess 127 are inclined is preferably employed in any of the gaming machine substrate cases 100 from the first embodiment to the sixth embodiment described above. Can do.
