Stop the rotation of the reel so that it is displayed as much as possible along. Further, the reel stop control means is specified for one or more reels, for example, when the challenge bonus (CB) which is a second type special accessory and the middle bonus (MB) which continuously operates the CB are operated. Within the time of 75 msec (for one symbol), the rotation of the reel is stopped so that the combination of the symbols is displayed as much as possible along the winning determination line. Further, the reel stop control means uses various specified times corresponding to the gaming state to rotate the reel so that the combination of symbols whose display is not permitted by the internal winning combination is not displayed along the winning determination line. Stop it.

When all the rotations of the plurality of reels are stopped in this way, the winning determination means determines whether or not the combination of symbols displayed along the winning determination line is related to winning. The main control circuit described later is responsible for the winning determination means. When it is determined by the winning determination means that the prize is related to the prize, the player is given a privilege such as paying out a medal. In pachislot, the above series of flows is performed as one game.

In addition, in pachislot, in the series of flows described above, various effects are performed using the display of images performed by the display device, the output of light performed by various lamps, the output of sound performed by speakers, or a combination of these. Will be.

When the start lever is operated, a random value for effect (hereinafter, random value for effect) is extracted in addition to the random value used for determining the internal winning combination described above. When the effect random value is extracted, the effect content determining means determines by lottery what to execute this time from a plurality of types of effect contents associated with the internal winning combination. A sub-control circuit, which will be described later, is responsible for determining the content of the effect.

When the content of the effect is determined, the effect executing means executes the corresponding effect in conjunction with each opportunity such as when the rotation of the reels starts, when the rotation of each reel stops, and when it is determined whether or not there is a prize. In this way, in pachislot, by executing the production content associated with the internal winning combination, the player has an opportunity to know or anticipate the determined internal winning combination (in other words, the combination of symbols to be aimed at). It is provided and can improve the interest of the player.

To. As a result, the sealing engaging member 273 can be easily positioned.

[Connection between the 1st seal and the 2nd seal]
Next, the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 and 16. FIG. 15 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line AA shown in FIG. FIG. 16 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line BB shown in FIG.

As shown in FIG. 15, in order to assemble the second sealing portion 216, the sealing engaging member 273 and the sealing cover 272 are accommodated from the side opposite to the side of the sealing base 271 facing the first sealing portion 212 and sealed. The sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 are welded inside the base 271. As a result, the sealing cover 272 can be prevented from being arranged outside, and it becomes difficult to forcibly peel off the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272. As a result, the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 are separated by a method that leaves a trace, and the main control board case 201 can be opened to prevent or suppress fraudulent acts.

Fraudulent acts (modifications) on the board (board case) are performed when the store is closed and there are no people. As a modification, for example, the electrical parts arranged on the board are made into fraudulent products (forcibly paying out regardless of the result of the game or the output rate becomes high by a certain procedure etc.). Replacement is mentioned.

By the way, simply modifying the substrate does not generate any benefit to the modified person. The person who made the modification can make a profit by visiting the store at a later date among general players and playing a game (or a predetermined operation) with the modified game machine. Therefore, if the modification can be discovered by a later date, the damage can be avoided. On the other hand, a person who commits cheating needs to modify it without leaving a trace so that the alteration is not discovered. Therefore, it can be said that fraudulent activity can be prevented if the substrate case can be configured so that the modification can be performed only by a method in which a trace remains.

Further, in the present embodiment, the welding protrusion 293 is provided on the first surface of the sealing cover 272. The first surface of the sealing cover 272 is an end surface opposite to the second surface of the sealing cover 272 exposed from the opening of the sealing base 271. Therefore, even if a tool or the like is inserted through the opening of the sealing base 271, it is difficult to reach the welded portion between the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272, and it is difficult to forcibly peel off the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272. Become.

The welding protrusion of the sealing cover 272 (second welded member) according to the present invention is not limited to being formed in a frame shape (entire circumference) along the edge of the first surface, for example. It may be formed along two opposite sides, or may be formed so as to be arranged at an appropriate interval. Further, the welding protrusion of the sealing cover 272 (second welded member) according to the present invention can be set at an arbitrary position, and for example, a welding protrusion may be provided on the side surface. Further, the sealing cover 272 (second welded member) according to the present invention may be welded to the sealing base 271 (first welded member) without providing the welding protrusion.

Further, the second surface of the sealing cover 272 exposed from the opening of the sealing base 271 is formed into a smooth (no unevenness) flat surface (see FIG. 14). Therefore, it becomes difficult to grip the seal cover 272, and it is difficult to forcibly peel off the seal base 271 and the seal cover 272.

Further, as shown in FIG. 15, the sealing base 271 has a deformation suppressing portion 286 that abuts on a plurality of engaging pieces 299 of the sealing engaging member 273. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress the plurality of engaging pieces 299 from being elastically deformed in the direction opposite to the insertion direction of the sealing pin 230. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the sealing pin 230 from being disengaged from the plurality of engaging pieces 299, and prevent or suppress the disconnection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216. be able to.

Before connecting the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216, the sealing pin 230 is arranged at a standby position in the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B. In the standby position, the tip of the body portion 230a of the sealing pin 230 is held by a plurality of pin holding portions 229 provided on the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B, and the head 230b of the sealing pin 230 is connected to the sealing lid 222. Are engaged. The axis of the sealing pin 230 is substantially parallel to the front-rear direction (horizontal direction) of the exterior body (game machine main body) 2.

As shown in FIG. 16, the plurality of pin holding portions 229 are arranged so as to avoid the lower side of the vertical direction g of the sealing pin 230, and at least two pin holding portions 229A and 229B hold the sealing pin 230. There is. As a result, the sealing pin 230 can be prevented from being held in a state of being displaced in the direction orthogonal to the insertion direction thereof. In a state where the sealing pin 230 is displaced, it is possible to prevent the pin insertion hole 281 of the second sealing portion 216 and the pin through hole of the sealing engaging member 273 from penetrating. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 from becoming incomplete, and the reliability and certainty of the sealing by the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are improved. Can be made to.

Further, the plurality of pin holding portions 229 hold the tip end portion (head 230b side of the tip end side) of the body portion 230a of the sealing pin 230. As a result, the posture of the sealing pin 230 can be stabilized more than when the tip surface of the body portion 230a of the sealing pin 230 is held. Further, the tip (tip surface) of the sealing pin 230 is arranged in the pin recess provided in the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B. As a result, the tip of the sealing pin 230 arranged at the standby position can be prevented from interfering with other members (second sealing portion 216).

Further, the plurality of pin holding portions 229 have an inclined surface 229a (see FIG. 15) that guides the sealing pin 230. As a result, the sealing pin 230 can be easily inserted to a position (standby position) where the sealing pin 230 engages with the plurality of pin holding portions 229.

When the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are connected by the sealing pin 230, the head 230b of the sealing pin 230 arranged at the standby position is pressed by a tool or the like. A tool or the like can penetrate the through hole 253 provided in the sealing lid 222 and come into contact with the head 230b of the sealing pin 230.

The sealing pin 230 pressed against the head 230b moves in the axial direction parallel to the front-rear direction (horizontal direction) against the plurality of pin holding portions 229. Then, the sealing pin 230 penetrates the pin insertion hole 281 of the second sealing portion 216 (sealing base 271) and the pin through hole 297b of the sealing engaging member 273. At this time, the plurality of engaging pieces 299 of the sealing engaging member 273 engage with the pin engaging groove 230c of the sealing pin 230 and are pressed in the insertion direction of the sealing pin 230 to elastically deform. As a result, the movement of the sealing pin 230 in the direction opposite to the insertion direction is locked.

Then, when the head 230b of the sealing pin 230 comes into contact with the bottom of the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B, the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 is completed, and the first member 202 and the second member 203 are completed. The combined state of is sealed.

The second sealing portion (not shown) that engages with the first sealing portion 213 to seal the bonded state of the first member 202 (main control board case 201) and the cabinet 2a is the same as that of the second sealing portion 216. It has a configuration. Therefore, the connection (engagement) between the first sealing portion 213 and the second sealing portion (not shown) provided in the cabinet 2a is the same as the connection (engagement) between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216. It is done in.

Further, in the present embodiment, two sealing pins are used for one sealing portion (first sealing portion 212 and second sealing portion 216), but one of the two sealing pins 230 is a spare. .. Therefore, the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 is performed by one sealing pin 230.

When the main control board case 201 is opened for inspection or the like, the pin accommodating cylinder (224A or 224B) on the side connected by the sealing pin 230 is cut from the first member 202. That is, the protruding piece (241A or 241B) of the connecting portion 225 is cut, and the intermediate portion of the connecting portion 242 of the connecting portion 225 is cut (the sealing lid 222 is also cut together). As a result, the pin accommodating cylinder (224A or 224B) can be cut from the first member 202, and the connection between the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 is released. After that, when sealing the bonded state of the first member 202 and the second member 203 again, the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are connected by a spare sealing pin 230.

[Mounting position of main control board case]
Next, the mounting position of the main control board case 201 will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 17 is a vertical cross-sectional view of the upper part of the cabinet 2a.

As shown in FIG. 17, the main control board case 201 is attached to the upper part of the cabinet 2a. As described above, the main control board case 201 has a first member 202 and a second member 203 that are overlapped in the front-rear direction. The first member 202 is provided with the first sealing portion 212, and the second member 203 is provided with the second sealing portion 216.

The first sealing portion 212 is arranged in front of the second sealing portion 216, and the second sealing portion 216 faces the inner wall surface 2A of the cabinet 2a (game machine main body). The opening of the sealing base 271 of the second sealing portion 216 faces the inner wall surface 2A. When the first member 202 and the second member 203 are made of a resin material that is not colorless and transparent, the sealing cover 272 housed in the sealing base 271 cannot be visually recognized from the front side of the cabinet 2a.

The length L1 of the sealing cover 272 in the insertion direction (front-back direction of the game machine body) with respect to the sealing base 271 is the distance from the second surface of the sealing cover 272 (the end surface exposed from the opening of the sealing base 271) to the inner wall surface 2A. Longer than L2. Therefore, even if the sealing cover 272 is to be removed from the sealing base 271, the sealing cover 272 interferes with the inner wall surface 2A, so that the sealing cover 272 cannot be pulled out from the sealing base 271.

That is, when removing the sealing cover 272 from the sealing base 271, it is necessary to remove the main control board case 201 from the game machine main body. As a result, it is possible to make it difficult to peel off the welded portions of the sealing base 271 and the sealing cover 272 while the main control board case 201 is attached to the game machine main body. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress fraudulent acts by opening the main control board case 201.

In this embodiment, the sealing cover 272 is inserted into the sealing base 271 on the back side (mounting side) of the main control board case 201. Therefore, when the main control board case 201 is attached to the cabinet 2a (may be the front door 2b), the cabinet 2a becomes an obstacle and the sealing cover 272 cannot be removed from the sealing base 271. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress fraudulent acts by opening the main control board case 201. That is, if the second welded member is inserted into the first welded member from the attachment side of the sealed object, the second welded member cannot be removed from the first welded member, and the sealed object cannot be removed. It is possible to prevent or suppress the unauthorized release of the seal.

Further, in the present embodiment, the movement restricting portion 283 of the second sealing portion 216 engages with the engaging groove 227 of the first sealing portion 212. As a result, the sealing pin 230 and the plurality of engaging pieces 299 of the sealing engaging member 273 are engaged with each other in a state where the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 216 are displaced, and the first sealing portion 212 and the second sealing portion 212 and the second are engaged. It is possible to prevent the sealing using the sealing portion 216 from becoming incomplete. As a result, the certainty of the sealing work can be improved, and fraudulent activity can be further prevented or suppressed.

Further, even when the pin accommodating cylinder 224B of the first sealing portion 212 is separated from the first member 202 and the pin accommodating cylinder 224A remains, the movement restricting portion 283 of the second sealing portion 216 is the pin accommodating cylinder 224A. It is engaged in the engagement groove 227. Therefore, it is not possible to rotate or displace the pin accommodating cylinder 224A by applying a force to the pin accommodating cylinder 224A. As a result, it is possible to prevent the connecting piece 241A from being cut by applying a force to the pin accommodating cylinder 224A.

Further, the engaging groove 227 becomes narrower toward the opening side of the pin accommodating cylinder 224A. That is, the width of the engaging groove 227 becomes narrower as the movement restricting portion 283 is inserted into the engaging groove 227. As a result, the movement restricting portion 283 can be easily engaged with the engaging groove 227, and the movement restricting portion 283 can be reliably brought into contact with the engaging groove 227.

In the present embodiment, the pin accommodating cylinder 224A of the first sealing portion 212 is provided with an engaging groove 227, and the engaging wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216 is provided with a movement restricting portion 283 made of ribs. However, the movement restricting portion according to the present invention may be a groove portion. In this case, a rib is provided on the pin accommodating cylinder 224A. That is, the engaging portion that engages with the movement restricting portion according to the present invention may be a rib.

Further, in the present embodiment, the engagement groove 227 is provided in the pin accommodating cylinder 224A of the first sealing portion 212. However, as the engaging portion that engages with the movement restricting portion according to the present invention, an engaging groove (may be a rib) as an engaging portion may be provided on the sealing lid fixed to the pin accommodating cylinder 224A. In this case, a notch is provided in the connection piece 242 (see FIG. 10) of the connecting portion 225, and an engaging groove of the sealing lid is arranged in the notch. Further, it is preferable that the height of the engaging wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216 is increased so as to face the engaging groove of the sealing lid, and the movement restricting portion is provided at the portion facing the engaging groove.

By providing the engaging groove on the sealing lid, it is not necessary to engage the engaging groove and the movement restricting portion when the first member 202 and the second member 203 are overlapped with each other. That is, if the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B of the first sealing portion 212 are inserted into the engaging wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216 and then the sealing lid is fixed to the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B, it moves with the engaging groove. The regulator can be engaged. As a result, even when the first member or the second member is large, the engagement between the engaging groove and the movement restricting portion can be prevented from becoming complicated.

Further, the engaging groove of the sealing lid may have a length that penetrates the notch provided in the connecting piece 242 (see FIG. 10) of the connecting portion 225. In that case, the engaging groove faces the outer surface of the pin accommodating cylinder 224A in a direction intersecting the insertion direction of the sealing pin 230. Therefore, a connecting portion connected to the engaging groove may be provided on the outer surface of the pin accommodating cylinder 224A. As a result, it is possible to prevent or suppress damage to the engaging groove protruding from the sealing lid. Further, the movement restricting portion and the engaging groove can be engaged without increasing the height of the engaging wall 282 of the second sealing portion 216.

Further, in the present embodiment, the sealing cover 272 is welded to the sealing base 271 on the outside of the main control board case 201. However, the sealing base according to the present invention may be one that is welded to the sealing base inside the substrate case. That is, the space communicating with the opening of the sealing base (first welded member) may be closed.

Further, in the present embodiment, the second surface of the sealing cover 272 housed in the sealing base 271 faces the inner wall surface 2A. However, the second surface of the sealing cover according to the present invention (the end surface exposed from the opening of the sealing base) may face other parts. Examples of other parts include a middle door 341, a fan, and a bracket for mounting parts, which will be described later.

Part) Sliding on. However, if the sizes of the first slope 681 and the second slope 691 are not equalized, the second locking claw 648 slides on the side surface of the first seal sticking portion 614 or the second seal sticking portion 628.

Further, when the seal cover 641 is continuously lowered, the elastic deformation (deflection deformation) of the two first locking claws 645 of the seal cover 641 is released, and the two first claws of the first seal sticking portion 614 are engaged. Engage with portion 684. Further, the two second locking claws 648 of the seal cover 641 are released from elastic deformation (deflection deformation) and engage with the bottom surface of the second seal sticking portion 628. Further, the arm portions of the two second locking claws 648 engage with the claw regulation portion 692 of the second seal attaching portion 628. This completes the attachment of the seal cover 641 to the main control board case 601.

As described above, in the present embodiment, the seal cover 641 can be easily engaged with the first seal sticking portion 614 and the second seal sticking portion 628 simply by lowering the seal cover 641. Further, in order to remove the seal cover 641, it is necessary to pull up the seal cover 641 while disengaging both the first locking claw 645 and the second locking claw 648. Therefore, the removal of the seal cover 641 can be complicated, and the peeling of the seal 640 can be suppressed so that the seal 640 is exposed and no trace is left.

If the main control board case 601 is opened for inspection or the like, not for the purpose of fraudulent activity, a trace may be left on the seal 640. Therefore, it is not necessary to remove the seal cover 641 from both the seal sticking portion 614 (first member 602) and the second seal sticking portion 628 (second member 603). Therefore, the first member 602 and the second member 603 may be separated while disengaging one of the locking claws (first locking claw 645 or second locking claw 648), and the work is not complicated. Can be done.

Further, the second locking claw 648 of the seal cover 641 covers the boundary line between the side surface of the second seal sticking portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal sticking portion 614. As a result, it is possible to prevent wires, instruments, and the like from entering the main control board case 601 from the boundary line between the side surface of the second sticker sticking portion 628 and the side surface of the first sticker sticking portion 614.

In the present embodiment, the second locking claw 648 covers the boundary line between the side surface of the second seal sticking portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal sticking portion 614. However, as the seal cover according to the present invention, the boundary line between the side surface of the second seal sticking portion 628 and the side surface of the first seal sticking portion 614 may be covered with a side plate.

The point is that the pin accommodating cylinder 664A does not have the engaging groove 227. Hereinafter, the parts common to the pin accommodating cylinders 224A and 224B in the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B are designated by the same reference numerals, and duplicate description will be omitted.

The connecting portion 665 has connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D, housing pieces 672A, 672B, connecting pieces 673, and thin parts 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D. The connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D, the connecting piece 673, and the thin portion 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D are formed of a material that can be cut by a tool or the like, for example, a resin material.

The connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, and 671D project substantially vertically from the rear wall portion 602c of the first member 602. The housing pieces 672A and 672B connect the connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C and 671D and the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B. The connection piece 673 connects the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B.

The housing pieces 672A and 672B are formed in a hollow rectangular parallelepiped shape with an opening at the bottom, and the upper surface thereof is continuous with the peripheral surfaces of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B. Further, on the upper surface of the housing pieces 672A and 672B, engaging protrusions 675A and 675B surrounding the open ends of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B are provided.

The engaging protrusions 675A and 675B are formed in an annular shape with a part cut out, and the notched end portion is continuous with the side surfaces of the housing pieces 672A and 672B facing each other. .. A connecting piece 673 is arranged in the notched portion of the engaging protrusion 674. Further, the engaging protrusions 675A and 675B project more in the axial direction of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B than the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B. The sealing lid 662 engages with the engaging protrusions 675A and 675B.

The connecting pieces 671A and 671B are continuous with the side surface of the housing piece 672A facing the rear wall portion 602c, and form the same plane as the upper surface of the housing piece 672A. On the other hand, the connecting pieces 671C and 671D are continuous with the side surface of the housing piece 672B facing the rear wall portion 602c, and form the same plane as the upper surface of the housing piece 672B.

The thin portion 674A is formed in a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by connecting pieces 671A and 671B, a housing piece 672A, and a rear wall portion 602c. The thin portion 674A is composed of a connecting piece 671A, 671B, a housing piece 672A, and a plate body continuous with the rear wall portion 602c.

The thin portion 674B is formed in a substantially T shape surrounded by connecting pieces 671B and 671C, housing pieces 672A and 672B, connecting pieces 673, and a rear wall portion 602c. The thin portion 674B is composed of a connecting piece 671B, 671C, a connecting piece 673, a housing piece 672A, 672B, and a plate body continuous with the rear wall portion 602c.

The thin portion 674C is formed in a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by the connecting pieces 671C and 671D, the housing piece 672B, and the rear wall portion 602c. The thin portion 674C is composed of a connecting piece 671C, 671D, a housing piece 672B, and a plate body continuous with the rear wall portion 602c.

The thin portion 674D is formed in a substantially rectangular shape surrounded by the connection piece 673 and the housing pieces 672A and 672B. The thin portion 674D is composed of a plate body having three sides continuous with the connecting piece 673 and the housing pieces 672A and 672B.

As shown in FIGS. 49 and 50, the thin portion 674A, 674B, 674C, 674D is formed to be thinner than the connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D and the connecting piece 673. The thin portions 674A, 674B, 674C, and 674D are continuously formed on the connecting pieces 671A, 671B, 671C, 671D or the connecting pieces 673.

As a result, when cutting the connecting piece, it is necessary to break through the thin portion continuous with the connecting piece, and the thin portion having a thin thickness tends to have a dirty fracture mark, and the trace becomes conspicuous. As a result, it is possible to prevent the disconnection of the connecting piece from being overlooked and delaying the detection of fraudulent activity. In addition, since fraudulent activity is easily detected, fraudulent activity can be prevented or suppressed.

For example, in order to separate the pin accommodating cylinder 664A from the rear wall portion 602c (first member 602), it is necessary to cut the connecting pieces 671A and 671B. A thin portion 674A is provided between the connecting pieces 671A and 671B. Therefore, when a tool for sandwiching and cutting the connecting piece 671A or the connecting piece 671B is used, the thin portion 674A must be pierced by the tool. Therefore, a trace remains on the thin portion 674A, and fraudulent activity is easily detected.

Further, even when cutting the connecting pieces 671A and 671B without using a tool for sandwiching and cutting the connecting piece 671A or the connecting piece 671B, when cutting the connecting piece 671A and when cutting the connecting piece 671B. Since the thin portion 674A is added, the probability that the thin portion 674A is destroyed increases, so that a trace is likely to remain.

Further, the connecting piece 671B is surrounded by a thin portion 674A and a thin portion 674B. Therefore, when cutting the connecting piece 671B, it is first necessary to destroy (cut) the thin portion 674A or the thin portion 674B. Therefore, a destruction mark remains on the thin portion 674A or the thin portion 674B, and it is easy to detect fraudulent activity.

As the connecting piece according to the present invention, at least a part of the side continuous with the thin portion may be curved. Even if you try to cut the thin part along the connecting piece so that the destruction mark of the thin part becomes difficult to see, it is difficult to cut the thin part along the curved part of the connecting piece so that the destruction mark becomes difficult to see. Traces are likely to remain.

The curved portion may be formed on the housing piece 672A (first sealing portion 612) or the rear wall portion 602c (first member 602). Further, when the curved portion has a plurality of curved portions continuous like a wavy line, it becomes more difficult to cut a thin portion along the curved portion, and a trace is more likely to remain. Further, the connecting piece (first sealing portion or first member main body) may be provided with irregularities without bending a part of the connecting piece (first sealing portion or first member main body). Even in this case, since it is difficult to cut the thin portion so that the destruction mark is difficult to understand, the mark is likely to remain.

Further, as the thin portion according to the present invention, a slit may be formed. As a result, it is possible to guide the destruction of the thin portion so that the destruction mark is likely to remain, and the trace is likely to remain. As the shape of the slit, for example, a polygonal line shape can be mentioned. In this case, the traces can be easily found because the thin portion is broken into a broken line.

The shape of the slit is not limited to the polygonal line shape, and can be arbitrarily set, for example, a broken line or a dash-dotted line. Further, by setting the extending direction of the slit to a direction intersecting the cutting direction of the connecting piece, traces are more likely to remain.

In the present embodiment, the thin portion 674A is continuously formed on the connecting pieces 671A and 671B, the housing piece 672A (first sealing portion 612), and the rear wall portion 602c (first member 602). As a result, when the first sealing portion 612 is separated from the first member 602, the thin portion 674A is always destroyed (cut), so that a fracture mark can be surely left in the thin portion.

However, the thin portion according to the present invention may be continuous with at least the connecting piece, and may be continuous with the first sealing portion or the first member main body in addition to the connecting piece. In this case, make sure that the thin part is continuous at a position that interferes with cutting the connecting piece. This leaves a destruction mark on the thin part, making it easier to detect fraudulent activity.

The sealing lid 662 has an outer shape formed in a shape corresponding to the engaging protrusions 675A and 675B, and has two disk portions 677A and 677B and a connecting portion 678 connecting the two disk portions 677A and 677B. ing. The sealing lid 662 is engaged with the engaging protrusions 675A and 675B, and is fixed to the opening-side end faces of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B by welding.

The two disc portions 677A and 677B of the sealing lid 662 face the opening-side end faces of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B, and the connecting portion 678 faces the connecting piece 673. The two disk portions 677A and 677B are set to have the same diameter as the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B.

Through holes 679 are provided in the two disk portions 677A and 677B, respectively. The diameter of the through hole 679 is smaller than the diameter of the head 230b of the sealing pin 230. Therefore, the sealing lid 662 locks the sealing pin 230 from coming out of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B. When pressing the head 230b of the sealing pin 230, a tool or the like is passed through the through holes 679 of the disk portions 677A and 677B.

Further, a pin regulation protrusion 667 and a welding protrusion 668 are formed on the surfaces of the two disk portions 677A and 677B facing the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B (FIG. 52). The pin restricting protrusion 667 is formed in a cylindrical shape surrounding the through hole 679, and restricts the movement of the sealing pin 230 accommodated in the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B to the opening side. The welding protrusion 668 is formed in a cylindrical shape having a diameter larger than that of the pin regulation protrusion 667. The welding protrusion 668 is welded to the opening-side end faces of the pin accommodating cylinders 664A and 664B.

In this embodiment, two sealing pins are used for one sealing portion (first sealing portion 612 and second sealing portion 626), but one of the two sealing pins 230 is a spare. .. Therefore, the connection between the first sealing portion 612 and the second sealing portion 626 is made by one sealing pin 230.

[Switch bracket]
Next, the configuration of the switch bracket 621 will be described with reference to FIGS. 53 and 54.
FIG. 53 is an exploded perspective view of the switch bracket 621. FIG. 54 is a sectional view taken along line HH shown in FIG. 39.

As shown in FIG. 53, the switch bracket 621 has a switch support portion 731 that supports the setting key type switch 357, a fixing portion 732 and 733 that are continuous with the switch support portion 731, and 2 that are continuous with the switch support portion 731. It has two arms 734 and 735.

The switch support portion 731 is formed in a quadrangular frame shape that opens in the vertical direction, and supports the setting key type switch 357 by inserting it from above. The switch support portion 731 has a first frame wall 731a and a second frame wall 731b facing each other.

The fixing portion 732 is continuous with the first frame wall 731a and projects substantially vertically from the first frame wall 731a. An engaging recess 732a is provided on the upper surface of the fixing portion 732, and a screw insertion hole 732b penetrating in the vertical direction is formed on the bottom surface of the engaging recess 732a. One of the two boss portions 616 of the first member 602 engages with the engaging recess 732a. A fixing screw screwed into the boss portion 616 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 732b.

The fixing portion 733 is continuous with the second frame wall 731b and projects substantially vertically from the second frame wall 731b. An engaging recess 733a is provided on the upper surface of the fixing portion 733, and a screw insertion hole 733b penetrating in the vertical direction is formed on the bottom surface of the engaging recess 733a. The other of the two boss portions 616 of the first member 602 engages with the engaging recess 733a. A fixing screw 730 screwed into the boss portion 616 is inserted into the screw insertion hole 733b (see FIG. 54).

The two arms 734 and 735 are continuous with the second frame wall 731b and project diagonally upward from the second frame wall 731b. The two arm portions 734 and 735 are arranged so as to sandwich the fixing portion 733. The tip surfaces 734a and 735a of the two arms 734 and 735 are located higher than the upper surface (upper end in the axial direction) of the switch support portion 731 and are formed in a plane substantially perpendicular to the vertical direction. The tip surfaces 734a and 735a of the two arm portions 734 and 735 abut on the inner surface of the upper surface portion 602a of the first member 602.

Fitting protrusions 741 and 742 are provided on the tip surfaces 734a and 735a of the two arm portions 734 and 735. The fitting protrusions 741 and 742 are formed in a prismatic shape that projects substantially vertically from the tip surfaces 734a and 735a. As shown in FIG. 54, the tip surfaces 734a and 735a of the two arm portions 734 and 735 are arranged at the portions corresponding to the bearing portions 618 and 619 (bearing holes) of the upper surface portion 602a of the first member 602. That is, the two arm portions 734 and 735 extend toward the bearing portions 618 and 619 (bearing holes).

By the way, the bearing portions 618 and 619 (see FIG. 42) are integrally formed with the upper surface portion 602a. Therefore, in order to form bearing holes in the bearing portions 618 and 619, a mold is required in which the bearing portions 618 and 619 are cut out from the outer surface side and the inner surface side. Therefore, the bearing portions 618 and 619 are formed with two communication holes 618a and 619a that communicate with the inside of the main control board case 601.

Fitting convex portions 741,742 provided on the tip surfaces 734a and 735a of the two arm portions 734 and 735 are fitted into the communication holes 618a and 619a of the upper surface portion 602a. As a result, it is possible to prevent wires, appliances, and the like from entering the inside of the main control board case 601 by utilizing the communication holes 618a and 619a. As a result, it is possible to prevent fraudulent acts against the electronic components and the like arranged inside the main control board 371 and the main control board case 601.
