Description

The present invention relates to a gaming machine.

Conventionally, a gaming machine capable of producing an effect by using a projector is known (see Patent Documents 1 and 2). According to such a gaming machine, an image for gaming is projected from a projector onto a projection surface such as a screen, so that the image is displayed on a screen or the like instead of a liquid crystal display device.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 6-035066 Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2009-240459

However, since the projector tends to generate heat and become hot as compared with the liquid crystal display device or the like, there is a problem that the projector does not function normally unless the generated heat is released.

The present invention has been made in view of the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a gaming machine capable of releasing heat generated by a projector.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following gaming machines.

(1) With a projector (for example, projector device B2),
A first space forming portion (for example, a cover portion B2000) having a first air passage space (for example, space P) through which air can pass, and a first space forming portion (for example, a cover portion B2000).
A second space forming portion (eg, duct adapter B2500) having a second air passage space (eg, cavity B2531) through which air can pass is provided.
A first opening (for example, opening B2108e) and a second opening (for example, opening B2010) are formed in the first space forming portion, and the first opening and the second opening communicate with each other. The first air passage space is formed as described above.
A third opening (for example, left side opening B2513) and a fourth opening (for example, right side opening B2522) are formed in the second space forming portion, and the third opening and the fourth opening are formed. The second air passage space is formed so as to communicate with each other.
The first space forming portion and the projector are connected by the second space forming portion.
The first air passage space and the second air passage space communicate with each other through the second opening and the third opening.
The second space forming portion has elasticity.
A gaming machine characterized by that.

According to the invention of (1), a first opening and a second opening are formed in the first space forming portion, and a first air passage is formed so as to communicate with the first opening and the second opening. Space is formed. A third opening and a fourth opening are formed in the second space forming portion, and a second air passage space is formed so as to communicate with the third opening and the fourth opening. The first air passage space and the second air passage space communicate with each other through the second opening and the third opening, and the projector is connected by the second space forming portion. As a result, the air that has passed through the first air passage space and the second air passage space can flow into the projector, and the heat generated by the projector can be released through the flow of the air. Further, even after the projector is once connected to the second space forming portion, it is assumed that the position of the projector is finely adjusted in order to adjust the traveling direction of the light projected by the projector. In this respect, since the second space forming portion has elasticity and is deformable, it is possible to flexibly cope with such position adjustment of the projector.

According to the present invention, the heat generated by the projector can be released.

It is arranged like this. That is, since the height position of the lower pedestal B221 can be finely adjusted by the tightening amount of the nuts 2213 at each of the three connecting portions R1, R2, R3, the posture of the lower pedestal B221 can be adjusted in the front-rear direction. The degree of inclination in the three-dimensional space can be adjusted in either the left-right direction or the up-down direction.

Such posture adjustment of the lower pedestal B221 is performed while irradiating the screen or the like with light from the projector device B2 supported by the lower pedestal B221. At that time, an image is projected on the screen or the like by the irradiation light, and the posture of the lower pedestal B221 is adjusted while checking the image. As a result, the optical axis direction of the light emitted from the projector device B2 is adjusted so that the image is projected on the surface of the screen or the like in an appropriate display mode. That is, the optical axis direction can be adjusted in advance by adjusting the posture of the lower pedestal B221 so that so-called trapezoidal distortion or the like does not occur as an image display mode.

Adjustment in the optical axis direction and the like are performed using the adjustment PC 1000 (see FIG. 11) connected to the projector device B2. The projector device B2 attached to the upper wall portion B12 via the upper pedestal B220 and the lower pedestal B221 adjusts the optical axis direction and checks the displayed image on the screen or the like at the time of inspection at a factory. , Various adjustments necessary for projecting and displaying the image are carried out. The adjustment PC 1000 is temporarily connected to the relay board CK of the projector device B2 during the adjustment work (see FIG. 11). When the adjustment PC 1000 is operated, the optical parameters related to the projection position and focus adjustment of the irradiation light in the projector device B2 are changed by a predetermined command transmitted from the adjustment PC 1000. The projection positions and optical parameters appropriately adjusted in this way are stored in the EEPROM 231 of the projector device B2 as adjustment value data in the horizontal and vertical directions (see FIG. 11). The horizontal and vertical adjustment value data stored in the EEPROM 231 is not supplied to the projector device B2 due to transportation after shipment from the factory, and even if the gaming machine 1 is installed in the amusement park, it remains as it is. Can be used.

As is clear from the above, the projector device B2 is mainly positioned in the left-right direction and the front-rear direction according to the mounting position with respect to the upper wall portion B12 of the upper pedestal B220, and is in the three-dimensional space of the lower pedestal B221.

As shown in FIG. 33, the duct cover B600 is arranged substantially horizontally on the upper right side of the blind B500. The duct cover B600 is a flat plate-shaped member, and the external shape in the top view is the rear wall portion B503, the outer wall portion B504, the inner wall portion B505, and the front side wall portion B507a and the outer wall portion B507b of the small room B507. (See FIG. 30) The shape is similar to a figure including the upper edge of each. As a result, the duct cover B600 covers the blind B500 from above.

Further, a duct cover B650 is arranged substantially horizontally on the upper left side of the blind B500. The duct cover B650 is a flat plate-shaped member, and although the external shape in the top view is different from that of the duct cover B600 (see FIG. 40), it covers the blind B500 from above like the duct cover B600.

As shown in FIG. 35, the space P (see FIG. 32) formed by the projector cover B1 and the blind B500 is a space above the duct cover B600 (duct cover B650) and a space below the duct cover B600. It is divided into P2. For the sake of clarity, the duct cover B600 is shown in diagonal lines in FIG. 35.

Further, as shown in FIG. 33, a fan B700 near the opening is mounted on the upper front side of the duct cover B600. The fan near the opening B700 is a fan for intake air, and the air existing in front of the fan B700 near the opening can pass through the air passage portion B710 (see FIG. 37) and move to the rear. It has become.

As shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, in a state where the projector cover B1 is attached to the blind B500, the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is positioned in the vicinity of the right opening B400a of the projector cover B1. For the sake of clarity, in FIGS. 34 and 35, the fan B700 near the opening is shaded.

Here, although not shown, in the present embodiment, when the display unit A is mounted on the cabinet G, the front portion of the irradiation unit B protrudes to the front of the cabinet G, and the portion of the irradiation unit B protruding from the cabinet G , Housed in the upper door mechanism UD (see FIG. 1). The two openings (not shown) formed on the upper wall of the upper door mechanism UD are positioned directly above the two openings B400 (right opening B400a and left opening B400b) of the projector cover B1, respectively.

Further, as shown in FIG. 35, the intake port B22A (see FIG. 22) of the case B22 is arranged so as to be close to the cavity B402 (the cavity B402 on the right side of the two cavities B402). Although not shown, the exhaust port B22E (see FIG. 23) of the case B22 is also similarly arranged so as to be close to the cavity B402 (the cavity B402 on the left side of the two cavities B402).

As a result, in the present embodiment, air is introduced from the outside of the gaming machine 1 into the inside of the upper door mechanism UD through the opening formed in the upper wall of the upper door mechanism UD (the opening on the right side of the two openings). Is incorporated. This air moves downward inside the upper door mechanism UD and is taken into the inside of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400 (right opening B400a) of the projector cover B1.

The air that has entered the inside of the projector cover B1 is above the duct cover B600 in the space P (the space P on the right side of the two spaces P, see FIG. 32) formed by the projector cover B1 and the blind B500. After moving backward in the space P1 (see FIG. 35), the projector cover B1 is turned inward, passes through the cavity B402 (the right cavity B402 of the two cavities B402), and the intake port B22A. Enters the inside of the case B22 via.

The air that has entered the inside of the case B22 travels to the left while taking away the heat generated in the case B22, and exits the case B22 through the exhaust port B22E.

The air leaving the case B22 passes through the cavity B402 (the cavity B402 on the left side of the two cavities B402) and then changes its course forward to the space P (the space on the left side of the two spaces P). Of P), the space P1 above the duct cover B650 is moved forward. Then, the air goes out of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400 (left opening B400b) of the projector cover B1.

The air that has flowed out of the projector cover B1 moves upward inside the upper door mechanism UD, and then passes through an opening (the left opening of the two openings) formed in the upper wall of the upper door mechanism UD. Then, it is released to the outside of the game machine 1.

Of the air flows described above, the air flow path inside the projector cover B1 is indicated by a thick arrow in FIG. 29. Further, the air flow in the space P1 is shown by an arrow A in FIG. 35. In the present embodiment, by forming such an air flow path, the heat generated in the projector device B2 can be discharged to the outside of the gaming machine 1.

Here, as described above, the opening formed in the upper wall of the upper door mechanism UD exists directly above the opening B400 (right opening B400a and left opening B400b) of the projector cover B1. That is, when the opening of the upper door mechanism UD and the opening B400 of the projector cover B1 are viewed from above, at least a part of them overlap each other.

Therefore, when a foreign substance such as a liquid enters the gaming machine 1 through the opening of the upper door mechanism UD, the foreign substance enters the inside of the projector cover B1. However, according to the present embodiment, even in such a case, it is possible to prevent the foreign matter from invading the inside of the case B22. Hereinafter, a case where the liquid L is charged from the opening of the upper door mechanism UD will be described as an example.

The liquid L introduced from the opening of the upper door mechanism UD passes through the opening B400 (right opening B400a) of the projector cover B1 and falls to the first horizontal portion B501 (see FIG. 30) of the blind B500.

Here, as described with reference to FIG. 32, the upper end of the fifth wall portion B501e of the blind B500 and the lower end of the surface B402a (see FIG. 29) existing in front of the cavity B402 (see FIG. 26) of the projector cover B1. There is a certain gap between them, and the thickness of the duct cover B600 substantially coincides with the length of the gap. The duct cover B600 is arranged so as to abut on both the upper end of the fifth wall portion B501e and the lower end of the surface B402a to fill the gap. As a result, a gap corresponding to the height of the fifth wall portion B501e of the blind B500 is formed between the first horizontal portion B501 of the blind B500 and the duct cover B600. The liquid L passes through the gap and flows from the first horizontal portion B501 toward the first inclined portion B502a.

Since the first inclined portion B502a and the second inclined portion B502c of the blind B500 have an inclination so as to descend toward the rear, the liquid L is the first inclined portion B502a, the second horizontal portion B502b, and the second. It flows backward through the inclined portion B502c and the third horizontal portion B502d. In this way, the liquid L flows on the surfaces of the first horizontal portion B501, the first inclined portion B502a, the second horizontal portion B502b, the second inclined portion B502c, and the third horizontal portion B502d. The flow of such a liquid L is indicated by an arrow L in FIG. 35.

The liquid L flowing backward collides with the rear wall portion B503 and is stored in the region surrounded by the rear wall portion B503, the outer wall portion B504, and the outer wall portion B507b (and the inner wall portion B505) (FIG. 36). reference). The region is included in the space P2 (see FIG. 35) below the duct cover B600 in the space P (see FIG. 32) formed by the projector cover B1 and the blind B500. For clarity, FIG. 36 shows the stored liquid L in shades.

Here, the space P1 shown in FIG. 35 and the internal space Q (see FIG. 29) of the projector cover B1 are connected to each other via the opening B510 shown in FIG. As shown in FIG. 36, the opening B510 has a shape similar to a rectangle whose side view is composed of sides K to N.

The side K constituting the lower end of the opening B510 corresponds to the upper end edge B505a (see FIG. 30) of the inner wall portion B505 of the blind B500. As shown in FIG. 30, the upper end edge B505a (lower end of the opening 510) of the inner wall portion B505 has a first horizontal portion B501, a first inclined portion B502a, a second horizontal portion B502b, a second inclined portion B502c, and a second inclined portion B502c. It is located above the third horizontal portion B502d (the path of the liquid L).

Further, although not explicitly shown in the drawing, the right end of the duct cover B600 is placed on the upper end edge of the outer wall portion B504 of the blind B500, and the left end thereof hits the outer surface of the inner wall portion B505 of the blind B500. Arranged so as to be in contact with each other, the main surface B610 (see FIG. 37) forms substantially the same plane as the upper end edge B505a of the inner wall portion B505 of the blind B500 (see FIG. 33). As a result, the internal space Q of the projector cover B1 and the storage space (space P2) of the liquid L are separated by the duct cover B600, and the liquid L passes through the opening B510 to the internal space Q of the projector cover B1 (inside the case B22). ) Is less likely to occur.

The fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening has a circular air passage portion B710. The upper end edge B621a, the upper end edge B622a, and the upper end edge B623a are formed in a shape (arc shape) corresponding to the shape of the air passage portion B710. For the sake of clarity, in FIG. 37, the upper end edge B621a and the upper end edge B622a are shown by diagonal lines, and the air passage portion B710 is shown by shading.

As shown in FIG. 38, a structure (fan installation structure) for installing the fan B700 in the vicinity of the opening is formed so as to project downward from the ceiling portion inside the projector cover B1. Specifically, the projector cover B1 has a front engaging portion B421 formed along the rear end of the opening B400 and a rear engaging portion B422 formed behind the front engaging portion B421 in the front-rear direction. It has an extending upper upper engaging portion B423 (upper left engaging portion B423a, upper middle engaging portion B423b, and upper right engaging portion B423c).

The upper engaging portion B423 connects the back surface of the front engaging portion B421 and the front surface of the rear engaging portion B422. The downward protrusion length from the ceiling portion inside the projector cover B1 is longer in the front engagement portion B421 and the rear engagement portion B422 than in the upper engagement portion B423.

The lower end edge B421a of the front engaging portion B421 and the lower end edge B422a of the rear engaging portion B422 are each formed in a curved shape. The lower end edge B421a and the lower end edge B422a are formed in a shape (arc shape) corresponding to the shape of the air passage portion B710 of the fan B700 near the opening. For the sake of clarity, the lower end edge B421a and the lower end edge B422a are shown by diagonal lines in FIG. 38.

The fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is sandwiched by the fan installation structure B620 of the duct cover B600 and the fan installation structure of the projector cover B1 described above.

Specifically, the distance between the front engagement portion B621 and the left rear engagement portion B622 of the duct cover B600, the distance between the front engagement portion B621 and the right rear engagement portion B623, and the front engagement of the projector cover B1. The distance between the joint portion B421 and the rear engagement portion B422 is substantially equal to the length in the front-rear direction in the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening, respectively.

As a result, the left front surface of the fan B700 near the opening abuts on the back surface of the front engaging portion B621 of the duct cover B600, and the left rear surface of the fan B700 near the opening abuts on the left rear engaging portion B622 of the duct cover B600. The fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is in contact with the front surface and is sandwiched between the front side engaging portion B621 and the left rear side engaging portion B622 of the duct cover B600. Further, the right front surface of the opening vicinity fan B700 is in contact with the back surface of the front side engaging portion B621 of the duct cover B600, and the right back surface of the opening vicinity fan B700 is the front surface of the right rear side engaging portion B623 of the duct cover B600. The fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is sandwiched between the front side engaging portion B621 and the right rear side engaging portion B623 of the duct cover B600.

Further, the front surface of the fan B700 near the opening is in contact with the back surface of the front engaging portion B421 of the projector cover B1, and the back surface of the fan B700 near the opening is in contact with the front surface of the rear engaging portion B422 of the projector cover B1. The fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is sandwiched between the front side engaging portion B421 and the rear side engaging portion B422 of the projector cover B1.

Further, the three lower engaging portions B624 (lower left engaging portion B624a, lower middle engaging portion B624b, and lower right engaging portion B624c) of the duct cover B600 are moved upward from the main surface B610. The protrusion lengths of are almost equal to each other. Further, the three upper engaging portions B423 (upper left engaging portion B423a, upper middle engaging portion B423b, and upper right engaging portion B423c) of the projector cover B1 are downward from the ceiling portion inside the projector cover B1. The protrusion lengths of are almost equal to each other. The distance between the lower engaging portion B624 of the duct cover B600 and the upper engaging portion B423 of the projector cover B1 is substantially equal to the vertical length of the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening.

As a result, the lower surface of the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening has three lower engaging portions B624 (lower left engaging portion B624a, lower middle engaging portion B624b, and lower right engaging portion B624c) of the duct cover B600. ), And the upper surface of the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is the three upper engaging portions B423 (upper left engaging portion B423a, upper middle engaging portion B423b, and upper right engaging portion B423c) of the projector cover B1. ), The fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is sandwiched between the lower engaging portion B624 of the duct cover B600 and the upper engaging portion B423 of the projector cover B1.

As described above, the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is fixed by being sandwiched by the duct cover B600 and the projector cover B1 from the front-rear direction and the vertical direction.

In a state where the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is fixed, the front peripheral edge of the air passage portion B710 is attached to the upper end edge B621a of the front engagement portion B621 in the duct cover B600 and the lower end edge B421a of the front engagement portion B421 in the projector cover B1. Positioned along (see FIGS. 34 and 39). Although not shown, the rear outer edge of the air passage portion B710 is the upper end edge B622a of the left rear engagement portion B622 and the upper end edge B623a of the right rear engagement portion B623 in the duct cover B600, and the projector cover B1. It is positioned along the lower end edge B422a of the rear engaging portion B422.

That is, when viewed from the front, the air passage portion B710 has a front engagement portion B621 of the duct cover B600, a left rear engagement portion B622, a right rear engagement portion B623, and a front engagement portion of the projector cover B1. It does not overlap with B421 and the rear engaging portion B422. In other words, the air passage portion B710 includes the front engagement portion B621 of the duct cover B600, the left rear engagement portion B622, the right rear engagement portion B623, and the front engagement portion B421 of the projector cover B1. Not covered by the rear engaging portion B422. This makes it possible to secure the maximum area of the air passing portion.

On the other hand, the peripheral edge of the air passage portion B710, the upper end edge (upper end edge B621a, upper end edge B622a, and upper end edge B623a) of the engaging portion in the duct cover B600, and the lower end edge (lower end edge) of the engaging portion in the projector cover B1. By matching B421a and the lower end edge B422a), the area of the portion where the fan B700 near the opening and the duct cover B600 abut, and the area of the portion where the fan B700 near the opening and the projector cover B1 abut are increased. This makes it possible to stably fix the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening.

Further, as shown in FIG. 39, the front surface of the front engaging portion B421 in the projector cover B1 is a wall surface B401j (FIG. 24) formed downward from the rear end edge (side j shown in FIG. 25) of the right opening B400a. See). As a result, the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is arranged behind the rear end edge (side j shown in FIG. 25) of the right opening B400a by the thickness of the front engaging portion B421 in the front-rear direction. Therefore, since the fan B700 near the opening is located deeper than the right opening B400a, even if the liquid enters from the right opening B400a of the projector cover B1, it is difficult for the liquid to directly hit the fan B700 near the opening. It has become like. On the other hand, since the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening is arranged close to the right opening B400a, it is easy to take in air from the outside of the projector cover B1 via the right opening B400a. As a result, the heat generated in the projector device B2 can be efficiently discharged.

The left rear engaging portion B622 and the right rear engaging portion B623 of the duct cover B600 are separately configured, whereas the front engaging portion B621 is connected without dividing the left and right portions. It has a unique shape. As a result, even if the liquid enters from the right opening B400a of the projector cover B1, it is difficult for the liquid to enter backward.

Further, the length of the rear end edge (side j shown in FIG. 25) of the right opening B400a in the projector cover B1, the left-right length of the front engaging portion B621 in the duct cover B600, and the left rear engaging in the duct cover B600. The length from the left end of the portion B622 to the right end of the right rear engaging portion B623, the left-right length of the front engaging portion B421 in the projector cover B1, and the left-right length of the rear engaging portion B422 in the projector cover B1. And, the lengths in the left-right direction of the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening are all substantially equal. As a result, the space (cross section when the space P1 is cut in the vertical direction in the left-right direction) from the right opening B400a of the projector cover B1 to the space P1 (see FIG. 35) is substantially eliminated by the fan B700 for the vicinity of the opening. It is in a buried state. Also in this respect, the area of the air passing portion is secured to the maximum, and the cooling efficiency of the projector device B2 can be improved.

Is formed. This makes it possible to secure a space for arranging the screen device C (see FIG. 5) below the blind B500 while increasing the capacity of the liquid that can be stored, and to maintain the strength of the blind B500. There is.

In particular, in the present embodiment, the presence of the small room B507 enhances the strength of the blind B500, and the liquid can be stored in the small room B507 as well. That is, as described above, the notch 507c is formed in the small room B507, and when the amount of liquid stored exceeds a certain amount, the liquid flows into the small room B507 from the notch 507c. In this way, by storing the liquid in the small room B507 provided as a rib, the space in the blind B500 is effectively utilized.

As shown in FIG. 40, the duct cover B650 has a shape in which the left front corner portion is cut out in a rectangular shape when viewed from above.

In a state where the decorative unit 6258 is attached to the frame member 6211, the speaker holes 6151A and 6151B each cover the front of the speaker 6152, and the sound generated from the speaker 6152 is transmitted through the speaker holes 6151A and 6151B, respectively. It can be released to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 6100.

Here, the speaker hole 6151A also functions as a vent for taking in air from the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 6100. As shown in FIG. 49, an intake fan 6244 is disposed on the right side of the front portion of the irradiation unit B. As a result, air is taken into the inside of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 from the outside front of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 through the speaker hole 6151A.

This air is taken into the inside of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400R of the projector cover B1 (the opening B400 on the right side of the two openings B400) as in the second embodiment, and is generated by the projector device B2. It travels inside the projector cover B1 while taking away the heat, and goes out of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400L (the opening B400 on the left side of the two openings B400).

The air that has come out of the projector cover B1 passes through the through hole 6245 formed in the frame member 6211, moves rearward, and is discharged to the outside from the back side of the pachinko gaming machine 6100.

The air flow described above is indicated by arrows in FIGS. 47 and 49. In the second embodiment, a case where air is taken in from above the outside of the gaming machine 1 and air is discharged to the outside and above of the gaming machine 1 has been described. On the other hand, in this modification, air is taken in from the outside front of the pachinko gaming machine 6100, and air is discharged to the outside rear of the pachinko gaming machine 6100. As described above, in the present invention, the direction in which the air for cooling the projector is taken in and the direction in which the air is discharged are not particularly limited, and can be appropriately designed according to the arrangement position of the projector, the structure around the projector, and the like.

Since the pachinko gaming machine has a shorter depth in the front-rear direction than the pachislot gaming machine, when another pachinko gaming machine is installed on the back side of one pachinko gaming machine in the same island facility. , There is a relatively large space between these pachinko machines. Therefore, even if the air warmed by the projector is discharged from the back of the pachinko gaming machine, it is considered that the island equipment of the pachinko gaming machine does not retain as much heat as the island equipment of the pachislot gaming machine.

Hereinafter, as another modification, a case where air is taken in from the outside right side of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 and air is discharged to the outside left side of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 will be described with reference to FIG. 50. FIG. 50 is a perspective view showing the appearance of the pachinko gaming machine.

As shown in FIG. 50, an opening 6300R is formed on the right side surface of the decorative unit 6258. As a result, air is taken into the inside of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 from the outside right side of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 through the opening 6300R.

This air is taken into the inside of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400R of the projector cover B1 (the opening B400 on the right side of the two openings B400) and is generated by the projector device B2, as in the above-described modification. It travels inside the projector cover B1 while taking away the heat, and goes out of the projector cover B1 through the opening B400L (the opening B400 on the left side of the two openings B400).

Although not shown in the figure, an opening (opening 6300L) is formed on the left side surface of the decorative unit 6258 as well as the right side surface. As a result, the air discharged from the opening B400L to the outside of the projector cover B1 is discharged to the outside of the pachinko gaming machine 6100 from the opening 6300L.

Such an air flow is indicated by an arrow in FIG. In this modification, it is considered that the warmed air may be taken into the adjacent gaming machine because the air discharging direction is set to the side of the gaming machine. In order to prevent such a situation from occurring, when the air discharge direction is to the side of the gaming machine, for example, the width of the decorative unit 6258 in the left-right direction is further shortened to make one pachinko machine. It is desirable that the exhaust port (opening 6300L) of the gaming machine and the intake port (opening 6300R) of the pachinko gaming machine installed next to the pachinko gaming machine are configured to be separated to some extent.

Hereinafter, other modified examples will be described with reference to FIG. 51. FIG. 51 is an exploded perspective view of the pachinko gaming machine.

In the above-mentioned modification, it has been described that the irradiation unit B is attached to the frame member 6211. On the other hand, in the example shown in FIG. 51, the irradiation unit B is attached to the base door 6113. The speaker 6152 is also attached to the base door 6113. Even in such a modified example, the same air flow path as the above-mentioned example can be formed.

Although FIG. 51 shows how the irradiation unit B is attached to the front side of the base door 6113, the irradiation unit B may be attached to the rear side of the base door 6113. In the present invention, the irradiation unit B may be installed in front of the game board or may be installed behind the game board. When the irradiation unit B is installed behind the game board, the irradiation unit B can be arranged by using the space while forming a space on the back side of the game board.

For example, an opening portion is provided in the center of the gaming board, and the irradiation unit is arranged on the base door, the gaming board, or other rear members of the pachinko gaming machine so that the front portion of the irradiation unit penetrates through the opening portion. May be good. In that case, a conventional pachinko gaming machine (a pachinko gaming machine having an opening in the center of the gaming board and having a configuration in which a liquid crystal display device or the like behind the gaming board can be visually recognized through the opening). Can be diverted as it is. For example, by removing the liquid crystal display device, arranging the screen mechanism, and further arranging the irradiation unit on the rear member of the game board or the like, the irradiation unit and the screen mechanism are mounted while keeping the shape of the game board as it is. It will be possible to make it a new game machine. When such a configuration is adopted, since a part of the front of the irradiation unit protrudes forward from the gaming board, a larger space behind the pachinko gaming machine can be secured. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the temperature rise in the island equipment when a pachinko gaming machine equipped with an irradiation unit is installed in the entire island equipment in a playground where the island equipment is narrow. Further, a small-sized liquid crystal display device that arranges a decorative member such as a logo according to the model or performs auxiliary decoration in front of the irradiation unit that can be visually recognized by the player (for example, around the reflector holding portion B11). By arranging an illuminated board or the like, the irradiation unit can be blindfolded so as not to be seen by the player, and the effect of the effect can be further enhanced.

The screen device C may be installed in a state of being attached to the irradiation unit B, or may be installed in a state of being separated from the irradiation unit B.

In the modification described above, the air discharge direction is the rear or side of the gaming machine, but the air may be discharged from above the gaming machine as in the second embodiment. When the air discharge direction is upward, for example, an exhaust opening may be formed on the upper surface of the decorative unit 6258 (glass door 6111). In this case, when the irradiation unit B is installed behind the game board, an opening may be appropriately formed in the game board in order to secure an air passage.

In the present invention, it is possible to appropriately form an opening in the member existing on the air flow path according to the direction in which the air is taken in and the direction in which the air is discharged, and the path through which the air flows. A tubular duct may be provided depending on the air flow path.

Further, in order to make the air flow smooth, an intake fan and / or an exhaust fan can be appropriately arranged. For example, an intake fan (for example, the intake fan 6244 in FIG. 49) may be arranged between the opening for taking in air (for example, the opening 6300R in FIG. 50) and the opening B400R in the projector cover B1. It is possible to dispose an exhaust fan between the opening for discharging (for example, the opening 6300L in FIG. 50) and the opening B400L of the projector cover B1. However, if intake and exhaust are sufficiently performed by the fan provided inside the irradiation unit B, it is not necessary to dispose the fan outside the irradiation unit B.

In the above-mentioned modification, the projector cover B1 described with reference to FIG. 45 is shown as being adopted, but the configuration of the projector cover is not particularly limited, and an opening for taking in air for cooling the projector. Further, a projector cover having an opening for discharging the air can be appropriately adopted. These openings can be formed at any location such as the front and rear, above and below, and sides of the projector cover, and the position of forming the openings is appropriately determined in consideration of the cooling efficiency of the projector and the like. be able to. Further, the projector may be arranged inside the gaming machine in an exposed state without being covered by the projector cover, and the cooling air taken in from the outside of the gaming machine is directly sent to the projector (via the projector cover). It is also possible to configure it to hit (without doing).

The second screen (door-side right screen 9050 and door-side left screen 9060) is provided on the opening / closing door.
It is characterized by that.

Generally, the opening / closing door of a gaming machine is decorated (modeled) according to the model, but such decoration requires a large amount of cost. Then, every time a new model is developed (for each project), if the opening / closing door is shaped and the decoration is changed, the cost will increase accordingly.

In this regard, according to the gaming machine 1 according to the third embodiment, the opening / closing door (upper door mechanism UD) is provided with a second screen (door side right screen 9050 and door side left screen 9060), and the second screen. By displaying an image (an image similar to the decoration on the outside) on (the right screen 9050 on the door side and the left screen 9060 on the door side), the opening / closing door (upper door mechanism UD) is not decorated with the decoration peculiar to the model. However, the same visual effect as when the decoration is applied can be obtained. Therefore, it is possible to adopt a simple opening / closing door (upper door mechanism UD) without decoration, and the cost for decoration can be suppressed. When developing a new model, it is not necessary to change the decoration of the opening / closing door (upper door mechanism UD) on a large scale, and image data according to the model (image data similar to the decoration peculiar to the model). ) Should be prepared. As a result, if the images displayed on the second screen (door side right screen 9050 and door side left screen 9060) are made suitable for the new model, it is possible to obtain the same effect as the decoration change. It is possible to reduce the cost.

For example, it is possible to adopt a configuration in which the irradiation range is maximized and the entire upper door mechanism UD is irradiated (assuming that the cabinet side screen is not provided). In order to widen the irradiation range, for example, the arrangement position and inclination of the mirror 9030 may be adjusted. By adjusting the relative positional relationship between the projector 9020 and the mirror 9030, the irradiation range can be changed as appropriate, and the light that travels forward without incident on the cabinet side screen is the top panel mechanism HA, left side. To reach the arrangement position of the panel mechanism HD, the right side panel mechanism HE, etc. (the area along the outer periphery of the upper door mechanism UD) (so that the light is irradiated over a wide range of the upper door mechanism UD). It is possible to design. As described above, in the present invention, only the portion of the opening / closing door (upper door mechanism UD) that is close to the first screen (cabinet side screen) in the front view is irradiated by the light projected from the projector. Alternatively, the outer peripheral portion of the opening / closing door (upper door mechanism UD) may be irradiated in a wider range.

In the third embodiment, as an example of image data, the region A, the region B, and the region C shown in FIG. 62 (a) are separate images (in the example of FIG. 62 (b), the effect image 9100 and the fireworks image). The image data including the information indicating 9101 and the character image 9102) has been described. The image data used in the present invention is not limited to this example, and may include, for example, information indicating one image (for example, an effect image 9100) so as to straddle the area A, the area B, and the area C. Image data may be used. By using such image data, a part of one image (for example, effect image 9100) is displayed on each of the cabinet side screen 9040, the door side right screen 9050, and the door side left screen 9060, and each screen is displayed. By integrating some of the images displayed in the above, the one image (for example, the effect image 9100) is formed. As described above, in the present invention, different images are displayed on the cabinet side screen and the screens arranged in the peripheral area thereof (door side right screen, door side left screen, door side upper screen, door side lower screen, etc.). May be displayed individually, or one video expression may be performed as a whole by combining the images displayed on each screen.

Further, in the third embodiment, the door side right screen 9050 and the door side left screen 9060 (second screen) are provided in a state of being exposed on the front side of the gaming machine 1 (door side right screen 9050 and door side left). No other member is provided on the front side of the screen 9060). As a result, when an image is displayed on the door-side right screen 9050 and the door-side left screen 9060, the image becomes visible to the player. However, in the present invention, a transparent panel may be provided on the front side of the second screen (door side right screen and door side left screen). If it is a transparent panel, the image displayed on the second screen is not obstructed from the player's field of view, and it is considered that there is no hindrance for the player to visually recognize the image. On the other hand, by covering the second screen with a transparent panel, the rigidity of the gaming machine can be ensured and the second screen can be prevented from being damaged. When the transparent panel is provided, the shape of the transparent panel is not particularly limited, but for example, a transparent panel having irregularities can be adopted. This makes it possible to give a three-dimensional effect to the image displayed on the second screen (the right screen on the door side and the left screen on the door side), and gives an appearance similar to that when the opening / closing door itself is three-dimensionally decorated. Can be created.

Further, in the third embodiment, it has been described that the shapes of the door-side right screen 9050 and the door-side left screen 9060 are curved shapes of a flat screen (the shape in the top view is an arc shape). However, the shape of the second screen (door-side right screen, door-side left screen, and door-side upper screen) in the present invention is not particularly limited, and a screen having an arbitrary shape can be appropriately adopted. For example, the second screen may be a screen having a flat shape such as the cabinet side screen 9040, a screen having irregularities, or a screen having a rounded shape. , The screen may have an angular shape.

The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are transmissive screens displayed by projecting a projected image from the rear, and like the screen sheet 1046, the incident on the back side where the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident. It has a surface and a display surface on the front side on which a projected image is projected by transmitting light incident on the incident surface. The screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057 are formed of, for example, a transparent glass plate, an acrylic plate, and a resin film as main materials so as to have an even thickness over the entire surface, and are milky white and semi-white when not projected. It is transparent or has a gray color.

When the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the incident surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057, the light projected from the projector 9020 is incident on the display surface (front surface) of the screen sheet 1056 and the screen sheet 1057. , Images related to the game (still images and moving images) are displayed.

Here, the third structure 1053 has a configuration in which a half mirror (magic mirror) is formed on the front surface side thereof. The half mirror can be formed by attaching a semi-transmissive film sheet to the surface of the substrate or by depositing a metal film on the surface of a substrate by a conventionally known method, and a part of the incident light can be formed. While reflecting, it has the property of transmitting part of it.

By arranging such a half mirror on the front side of the screen sheet 1057, when light is not projected from the projector 9020, an object existing around the third structure 1053 is reflected, for example, a black plating process. It will look like a part with a split. As the object existing around the third structure 1053, for example, a structure having a shape imitating a chain as shown in FIG. 65 can be provided. The structure having a shape imitating a chain may be provided in the vicinity of the third structure 1053, or the third structure 1053 (half mirror) itself may be formed in the shape. On the other hand, when light is projected from the projector 9020, the image displayed on the screen sheet 1057 is reflected on the half mirror. For example, an image in which an object existing around the third structure 1053 or an object having a shape similar to the shape of the third structure 1053 (a shape imitating a chain) is flowing and moving is displayed on the screen sheet 1057. This makes it possible to produce an effect as if the stationary object is moving when no light is projected from the projector 9020. As described above, according to the above configuration, it is possible to create an attractive effect by both the modeled object and the image related to the modeled object.

Further, the screen sheet 1056 has a diffusion layer for diffusing light and a prism layer in which a plurality of unit prisms having a shape convex on the incident surface side are arranged. As a result, the light projected from the projector 9020 is diffused, and in combination with the modeled object arranged on the front side of the screen sheet 1056, an attractive effect can be produced. For example, as shown in FIG. 65, when the first structure 1051 is formed in the character shape of "GOD", the image corresponding to the character "GOD" is displayed on the screen sheet 1056 to "GOD". It is possible to create an appearance in which the characters "" are shining. Further, the center of the light projected from the projector 9020 (irradiation light emitted from the vicinity of the optical axis of the projection lens) is incident on the screen sheet 1046, and the screen sheet 1056 is arranged at a position away from the center of the angle of view. However, by providing the prism layer having a high light-collecting effect, it is possible to prevent the brightness of the image displayed on the screen sheet 1056 from being lowered. As with the screen sheet 1057, a half mirror may be arranged on the front side of the screen sheet 1056.

The head of the screw (not shown) inserted through the adjusting hole B111 can also be visually recognized. As a result, the screw can be operated from the outside of the cabinet G, and the posture of the mirror mechanism B3 can be adjusted by appropriately turning the screw.

Hereinafter, the structures of the operation window G10 and the closing lid G100 will be described. FIG. 92 shows a state in which the operation window G10 and the closing lid G100 are viewed from diagonally rearward. FIG. 93 shows a state in which the operation window G10 and the closing lid G100 are viewed from diagonally forward.

As shown in FIG. 92, the operation window G10 has an opening G10a formed in a horizontally long rectangular shape as a through hole penetrating in the front-rear direction, and an outer surface (rear side) of the back wall G3 of the cabinet G at the peripheral edge of the opening G10a. The peripheral edge G10b formed so as to have a square-shaped surface at a recessed position with respect to the peripheral surface), the four screw holes G10c formed in the peripheral edge G10b, and the outer edge and the back wall of the peripheral edge G10b. It is provided with a connection portion G10d for connecting to the outer surface of the G3.

It is shown that the screw hole G10c is formed on the side.

In other words, the operation window G10 configured as described above has a shape in which a recess is formed with respect to the outer surface of the back wall G3 and an opening is formed by penetrating most of the recess. Have. The opening corresponds to the opening G10a, and the portion of the recess in which the opening is not formed corresponds to the peripheral edge portion G10b. The peripheral edge portion G10b is formed as a flat surface (vertical surface) substantially parallel to the outer surface of the back wall G3, and the connecting portion G10d is formed as a flat surface in the horizontal direction and the vertical direction.

The closing lid G100 is configured as a plate-shaped member, and has a horizontally long rectangular back surface G100a, a front surface G100b formed on the opposite side of the back surface G100a, and four bosses provided on the front surface G100b. It includes a portion G100c and a peripheral portion G100d formed so as to face forward from the peripheral edge of the back surface G100a. The back surface G100a and the front surface G100b are formed as flat surfaces in the vertical direction.

The outer shape of the closing lid G100 (rear surface G100a) is substantially the same as the outer shape of the peripheral portion G10b of the operation window G10 (similar shape slightly smaller than the peripheral portion G10b), and is from the opening G10a of the operation window G10. Is also getting bigger. As a result, the opening G10a of the operation window G10 can be closed by fitting the closing lid G100 into the recess (attaching the closing lid G100 to the back wall G3 so as to fill the recess). It has become.

More specifically, when the closing lid G100 is arranged so that the peripheral portion G100d of the closing lid G100 is aligned with the connecting portion G10d of the operating window G10, the four screw holes G10c of the operating window G10 and the closing are used. The four boss portions G100c of the lid G100 are overlapped with each other, and each screw hole G10c is positioned in front of each boss portion G100c. In this state, the closing lid G100 is attached to the cabinet G (rear wall G3) by screwing the screw through which the screw hole G10c is inserted from the front side (inside the cabinet G) into the hole formed in the boss portion G100c.

Is equal to the length up to (height of the boss portion G100c). Therefore, when the closing lid G100 is arranged so that the front end of the peripheral edge portion G100d of the closing lid G100 abuts on the peripheral edge portion G10b of the operation window G10, the tip of the boss portion G100c of the closing lid G100 is also used for operation. It comes into contact with the peripheral edge portion G10b of the window G10.

FIG. 94 shows how the closing lid G100 is arranged in such a state. In FIG. 94, the shaded portion indicates the closing lid G100 (front surface G100b), and the shaded portion indicates the back wall G3 (periphery of the opening G10a). A space S is formed between the shaded portion (front surface G100b of the closing lid G100) and the shaded portion (periphery of the opening G10a), and the width (length in the front-rear direction) of the space S is the above. It corresponds to the "protruding length of the peripheral portion G100d forward" and the "height of the boss portion G100c".

By adopting such a configuration, the closing lid G100 can be stably attached to the back wall G3, and the closing lid G100 (front end of the peripheral portion G100d) and the back wall G3 (operation window G10) can be stably attached. It is possible to prevent a gap from being formed between the peripheral portion G10b) and the peripheral portion G10b), and to prevent fraudulent acts from being performed through the gap.

Further, the peripheral edge portion G10b of the operation window G10 is formed so as to have a step with respect to the outer surface of the back wall G3 by the length in the front-rear direction of the connecting portion G10d, and the peripheral edge portion of the closing lid G100. The length of the portion G100d in the front-rear direction (the length of the peripheral portion G100d protruding forward with respect to the back surface G100a) substantially coincides with the length of the connection portion G10d of the operation window G10 in the front-rear direction (operation window). It is slightly shorter than the length of the connection portion G10d of the G10 in the front-rear direction). The length of the peripheral portion G100d of the closing lid G100 in the front-rear direction and the length of the connection portion G10d of the operation window G10 in the front-rear direction are constant over the entire circumference. As a result, when the closing lid G100 is attached to the back wall G3, the back surface G100a of the closing lid G100 forms substantially the same plane as the outer surface of the back wall G3 (slightly smaller than the outer surface of the back wall G3). It is difficult to visually recognize the existence of the closing lid G100).

The diameter of the upper portion B1010a of the irradiation unit hooking screw hole B1010 is smaller than the diameter of the head 5002 (washer portion 5004) of the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000, but the diameter of the lower portion B1010b of the irradiation unit hooking screw hole B1010. The diameter is larger than the diameter of the head 5002 (washer portion 5004).

Specifically, in the upper portion B1010a, the lengths in the left-right direction and the up-down direction (the lengths of the longest portions respectively) are smaller than the diameter of the washer portion 5004, whereas in the lower portion B1010b, the left-right direction and the up-down direction. The length in the direction (the length of each of the longest portions) is larger than the diameter of the washer portion 5004. As a result, the head portion 5002 of the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000 cannot be inserted into the upper portion B1010a, but can be inserted into the lower portion B1010b.

When the irradiation unit B is moved slightly downward with the head portion 5002 of the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000 inserted in the lower portion B1010b, the screw portion 5001 of the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000 and the irradiation unit hooking screw hole B1010 are obtained. It comes into contact with the upper edge portion B1010c of (upper portion B1010a). The upper edge portion B1010c is a part of the peripheral edge of the upper portion B1010a (the portion connecting the back surface side peripheral edge portion B1012 and the peripheral wall portion B1011 of the irradiation unit hooking screw hole B1010), and corresponds to the upper end of the upper portion B1010a. .. For the sake of clarity, FIG. 115 shows the back peripheral edge portion B1012 with diagonal lines. In this way, the projector cover plate B1000 can be hooked on the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000.

As shown in FIG. 113, the projector cover plate B1000 is formed with two unit fastening upper screw holes B1030 and two unit fastening lower screw holes B1031. As shown in FIG. 115, the projector cover B1 is formed with two plate fastening upper boss portions B1040 and two plate fastening lower boss portions B1041.

The formation position of the upper boss portion B1040 for plate fastening corresponds to the formation position of the upper screw hole B1030 for unit fastening, and the screw inserted through the upper screw hole B1030 for unit fastening is inserted into the upper boss portion B1040 for plate fastening. Screwed into the formed hole. Further, the formation position of the lower boss portion B1041 for plate fastening corresponds to the formation position of the lower screw hole B1031 for unit fastening, and the screw through which the lower screw hole B1031 for unit fastening is inserted is for plate fastening. It is screwed into the hole formed in the lower boss portion B1041. As a result, the projector cover plate B1000 is fixed to the projector cover B1 by screwing.

In the projector cover B1, the formed portion of the upper boss portion B1040 for plate fastening and the formed portion of the lower boss portion B1041 for plate fastening are connected by the inclined portion B1042. The inclined portion B1042 is formed so as to have an inclined posture so that the front portion is higher than the rear portion. A pedestal mounting portion B1043, which is a mounting location for the upper pedestal B220, is formed on the back surface side of the inclined portion B1042. As a result, the projector device B2 is also arranged in a posture having an inclination so that the front side is higher than the rear side.

Since the inclined portion B1042 is inclined, the plate fastening upper boss portion B1040 is positioned in front of the plate fastening lower boss portion B1041. On the other hand, the projector cover plate B1000 is formed with a screw hole projecting portion B1035 having a structure projecting from the main surface B1005. The upper screw hole B1030 for fastening the unit is formed at the tip of the protruding portion B1035 for the screw hole. As a result, the unit fastening upper screw hole B1030 is positioned in front of the unit fastening lower screw hole B1031.

In this way, the upper screw hole B1030 for unit fastening and the lower side for unit fastening are located at the formation positions of the upper boss portion B1040 for plate fastening and the lower boss portion B1041 for plate fastening (boss portions whose positions in the front-rear direction are different from each other). It is possible to correspond the formation position of the screw hole B1031. The projector cover plate B1000 is arranged in the vertical direction (so as to be substantially parallel to the back wall G3 and the closing lid G100).

As described above, in the step (ii) above, the projector cover plate B1000 is hooked on the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000. After that, in the above step (iii), the projector cover plate B1000 (irradiation unit B) is fixed to the back wall G3 by screwing. Specifically, as described above, at the time when the step (ii) is performed, the screwing amount (degree of screwing) of the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000 with respect to the back wall G3 is small. By increasing the degree of alignment, screwing is performed firmly.

Further, when the projector cover plate B1000 is hooked on the irradiation unit hooking screw 5000, the irradiation unit fastening screw hole 5020 (see FIG. 108) on the back wall G3 and the cabinet fastening screw hole B1020 of the projector cover plate B1000 (see FIG. 108).

It is shorter than the distance (distance in the left-right direction) between the portion G10g and the two screw holes G10c on the left side. Correspondingly, the distance (distance in the left-right direction) between the first engaging protrusion G101 and the two screw holes G10c on the right side is set in a state where the closing lid G100 is attached to the back wall G3. It is shorter than the distance (distance in the left-right direction) between the second engaging protrusion G111 and the two screw holes G10c on the left side.

Here, as shown in FIG. 122, in the projector cover plate B1000, the left edge of the front wall portion B1050a constituting the first cavity B1050 (see FIG. 115) is located on the left side of the right edge portion B1001b of the opening B1001. However, the distance between the left edge of the front wall portion B1050a and the right edge portion B1001b of the opening B1001 is small (the positions in the left-right direction are almost the same). On the other hand, the right edge of the front wall portion B1060a constituting the second cavity B1060 (see FIG. 115) is located considerably to the right of the left edge portion B1001c of the opening B1001 and is about the right half of the second cavity B1060. Is formed so as to project inside the opening B1001. For the sake of clarity, in FIG. 122, the front wall portion B1050a and the front wall portion B1060a are shown by diagonal lines.

That is, the first cavity B1050 and the second cavity B1060 have different positional relationships with respect to the opening B1001, and the distance between the right edge of the front wall portion B1060a and the left edge portion B1001c of the opening B1001 is the front wall portion. It is larger than the distance between the left edge of B1050a and the right edge portion B1001b of the opening B1001. Correspondingly, the distance (distance in the left-right direction) between the first cavity B1050 (front wall portion B1050a) and the two screw holes B1002 for fastening the lid on the right side is the second cavity B1060 (front wall portion B1060a). ) And the two screw holes B1002 for fastening the lid on the left side, which are shorter than the distance (distance in the left-right direction).

As a result, the formation positions of the first cavity B1050 and the second cavity B1060 of the projector cover plate B1000 are made to correspond to the formation positions of the first engagement protrusion G101 and the second engagement protrusion G111 of the closing lid G100. The formation position of the lid fastening screw hole B1002 of the projector cover plate B1000 can be made to correspond to the formation position of the screw hole G10c of the back wall G3.

Further, the thickness of the connecting portion B2530 (connecting upper portion B2532, connecting lower portion B2533, connecting front side portion B2534, and connecting rear side portion B2535) is the thickness of the left side portion B2510 (left main body portion B2511 and upper left side portion B2512) and the right side. It is smaller than the thickness of the portion B2520 (right main body portion B2521). Specifically, the thickness of the left side portion B2510 and the right side portion B2520 is about 3 to 5 mm (for example, 4 mm), while the thickness of the connecting portion B2530 is about 0.5 to 1.2 mm (for example, 0.7). ~ 1.0 mm). The left side portion B2510, the right side portion B2520, and the connecting portion B2530 are formed to have a uniform thickness as a whole.

The duct adapter B2500 configured as described above is composed of an elastic member (rubber). As a result, the duct adapter B2500 can be flexibly deformed (has elasticity) when a force is applied from the right side or the left side, and has a repulsive force to return to the original shape. As the material of the duct adapter B2500, synthetic rubber such as urethane rubber (polyurethane) or silicon rubber can be appropriately adopted. The members (projector cover B1, duct cover B2100, and case B22) connected to the duct adapter B2500 are made of a material different from rubber (for example, a thermoplastic resin such as ABS resin). Flexible deformation like the duct adapter B2500 is impossible.

Each slit B2022 is formed in a rectangular shape as a through hole penetrating the left side surface B22X of the case B22 in the left-right direction. Note that FIG. 138 shows the inside of the case B22 in a see-through state.

As shown in FIG. 139, three right side protrusions B2523 (first right side protrusion B2523a, second right side protrusion B2523b, and third right side protrusion B2523c) are formed on the right side portion B2520 of the duct adapter B2500. ing. These right side protrusions B2523 are formed as protrusions that protrude toward the right side from the right side main surface B2524 formed around the right side opening B2522.

The first right-side protrusion B2523a and the second right-side protrusion B2523b are formed so as to extend in the front-rear direction slightly above the upper edge of the right-side opening B2522, respectively. The third right-side protrusion B2523c is formed so as to extend in the front-rear direction slightly below the lower edge of the right-side opening B2522. In FIG. 139, for convenience, the direction along the long side of the right opening B2522 is shown as the vertical direction, and the direction along the short side of the right opening B2522 is shown as the front-back direction.

The first right-side protrusion B2523a, the second right-side protrusion B2523b, and the third right-side protrusion B2523c each have a rectangular parallelepiped shape with rounded apex portions. Further, the protruding directions of the first right-side protruding portion B2523a, the second right-side protruding portion B2523b, and the third right-side protruding portion B2523c are each substantially perpendicular to the right main surface B2524.

In a state where the duct adapter B2500 is connected to the case B22 (a state in which the assembly of the gaming machine 1 is completed), the right main surface B2524 of the duct adapter B2500 and the left side surface B22X of the case B22 are substantially in contact with each other. The extending direction of the first right-side protruding portion B2523a, the second right-side protruding portion B2523b, and the third right-side protruding portion B2523c is substantially parallel to the long side direction of the rectangular slit B2022 formed in the case B22. The size and shape of the first right-side protrusion B2523a, the second right-side protrusion B2523b, and the third right-side protrusion B2523c are substantially the same as the size and shape of the slit B2022 (they can be press-fitted into the slit B2022). It has a size and shape of about).

As a result, the first right-side protrusion B2523a, the second right-side protrusion B2523b, and the third right-side protrusion B2523c are each inserted into the case B22 via the slit B2022. In FIG. 138, the slit B2022 into which the first right-side protrusion B2523a, the second right-side protrusion B2523b, and the third right-side protrusion B2523c are inserted is shown as the slit B2022a, the slit B2022b, and the slit B2022c, respectively. ..

The protruding upper surface B2523d and the protruding lower surface B2523e are formed in a direction perpendicular to the right main surface B2524, respectively, and constitute the upper surface and the lower surface of the right side protruding portion B2523. Since the first right-side protrusion B2523a, the second right-side protrusion B2523b, and the third right-side protrusion B2523c each have substantially the same structure, they are not distinguished here and are right-side protrusions. This will be described as part B2523.

On the protruding upper surface B2523d, an upper raised portion B2523f is formed near the center of the right protruding portion B2523 in the protruding direction. The upper raised portion B2523f has a raised shape with respect to the flat protruding upper surface B2523d. Similarly, on the protruding lower surface B2523e, a lower raised portion B2523g is formed near the center of the right protruding portion B2523 in the protruding direction. The lower raised portion B2523g has a raised shape with respect to the flat protruding lower surface B2523e. For the sake of clarity, in FIG. 141, the upper raised portion B2523f and the lower raised portion B2523g are shown by diagonal lines.

The distance between the protruding upper surface B2523d and the protruding lower surface B2523e is substantially the same as the short side of the slit B2022 formed in the case B22. Therefore, when the duct adapter B2500 is connected to the case B22 (the right protruding portion B2523 is inserted into the slit B2022) and a force is applied in the direction of removing the right protruding portion B2523 from the slit B2022, the upper raised portion B2523f And the lower raised portion B2523g is locked by the peripheral portion of the slit B2022. As a result, the connected state between the duct adapter B2500 and the case B22 is maintained, and the duct adapter B2500 is hard to come off from the case B22.

As shown in FIG. 139, the third right side protrusion B2523c is formed at a position symmetrical to the second right side protrusion B2523b with respect to the right side opening B2522, whereas the first right side protrusion B2522 is below the right side opening B2522. No protrusion (right-side protrusion B2523) is formed at a position symmetrical to the right-side protrusion B2523a. Therefore, the right side protrusion B2523 is not inserted into the slit B2022d (see FIG. 138) formed in the case B22. As a result, it is possible to secure a space in the vicinity of the slit B2022d inside the case B22, and the wiring can be efficiently arranged inside the case B22 by using the space.

The adapter engaging groove B2040 has a bent shape from the rear side wall surface B2204 to the upper right inner wall surface B2202a. The degree of bending is substantially the same as the degree of bending of the upper left side portion B2512 with respect to the left main body portion B2511 in the duct adapter B2500. As a result, the entire left side portion B2510 (rear end edge B2510d) of the duct adapter B2500 can be fitted into the adapter engaging groove B2040.

Here, the distance between the left side surface B2510a and the right side surface B2510b in the duct adapter B2500 (thickness of the left side portion B2510) is the distance between the outer wall surface B2040b and the inner wall surface B2040c in the projector cover B1 (width of the adapter engaging groove B2040).

Further, as shown in FIG. 152, a left rear protrusion B2125 is formed on the left wall surface B2108b of the opening B2108. The left rear protrusion B2125 protrudes from the left wall surface B2108b toward the inside of the opening B2108 (right side in front view, left side in FIG. 152) and extends in the front-rear direction (direction substantially parallel to the lower wall surface B2108a). ing. The left rear protrusion B2125 has a rectangular parallelepiped shape with a rounded apex. The upper surface of the left rear protrusion B2125 is integrated with the lower wall surface B2108a.

The length from the left wall surface B2108b to the right end of the left rear protrusion B2125 (the length of the left rear protrusion B2125 to the right when the left wall surface B2108b is used as a reference) is the right end of the left front protrusion B2123 from the left wall surface B2108b. Is substantially the same as the length up to (the length of protrusion to the right of the left front protrusion B2123 when the left wall surface B2108b is used as a reference).

The front end of the left rear protrusion B2125 is positioned slightly rearward of the rear end of the left front protrusion B2123. For the sake of clarity, in FIG. 152, the right side surface of the left front protrusion B2123 and the right side of the left rear protrusion B2125 are shown by diagonal lines.

As shown in FIG. 150, the punching B450 has a shape in which the front portion of a rectangular flat plate is cut out, and a large number of through holes B451 are formed. As a result, the punching B450 can prevent foreign matter from invading the inner side of the space P while securing an air passage inside the space P (see FIG. 128). .. In FIG. 150, the lower wall surface B2108a is exposed corresponding to the notch shape in the front portion of the punching B450.

The thickness of the punching B450 is slightly thinner than the distance between the lower surface of the right side protrusion B2121 and the lower wall surface B2108a and the distance between the lower surface of the left side front protrusion B2123 and the lower wall surface B2108a. As a result, the right side portion of the punching B450 is arranged between the lower surface of the right side protrusion B2121 and the lower wall surface B2108a, and the left side portion thereof is arranged between the lower surface of the left side front protrusion B2123 and the lower wall surface B2108a. .. The lower surface of the punching B450 is in contact with the lower wall surface B2108a, and the upper surface of the punching B450 is also substantially in contact with the lower surface of the right side protrusion B2121 and the lower surface of the left front protrusion B2123.

Further, the length in the left-right direction of the punching B450 is slightly shorter than the distance between the right wall surface B2108d and the left wall surface B2108b, and is substantially the same as the distance between the left end of the right side protrusion B2122 and the right end of the left side protrusion B2124. As a result, the right edge of the punching B450 substantially abuts on the left end of the right side protrusion B2122, and the left edge of the punching B450 substantially abuts on the right end of the left side protrusion B2124.

From the above, the punching B450 can be slid forward in a state of being arranged between the lower wall surface B2108a and the right side protrusion B2121 and the left front protrusion B2123. Then, with the punching B450 moved forward, it is possible to remove (clean) foreign matter and the like adhering to the punching B450.

Here, a slide locking projection B452 that projects upward is formed at the left rear corner portion of the punching B450. The length from the upper surface of the punching B450 to the upper end of the slide locking protrusion B452 (the upward protrusion length of the slide locking protrusion B452 when the upper surface of the punching B450 is used as a reference) is the upper and lower sides of the left front protrusion B2123. It is longer than the length in the direction. As a result, with the punching B450 arranged in the opening B2108, the upper end of the slide locking protrusion B452 is positioned above the upper surface of the left front protrusion B2123.

Therefore, when the punching B450 is slid forward, the front surface of the slide locking projection B452 comes into contact with the rear end of the left front protrusion B2123. As a result, the slide locking protrusion B452 is locked by the left front protrusion B2123, and the punching B450 is restricted from moving further forward. This makes it possible to prevent the punching B450 from coming out of the opening B2108.

Since the front ends of the right side portion and the left side portion of the punching B450 are arranged so as to protrude forward from the front end edge of the lower wall surface B2108a (see FIG. 150), by pulling these protruding portions, the punching B450 is arranged. It is easy to slide. Further, as described above, since the right side protrusion B2122 and the left side protrusion B2124 have an arcuate shape and the tips thereof have a rounded shape, the punching B450 can be smoothly slid.

Further, as shown in FIG. 153, the punching B450 is formed with one notch B453 on each side. The notch B453 fits the right side protrusion B2122 and the left side protrusion B2124 with the punching B450 arranged in the opening B2108. As a result, the punching B450 can be stably attached to the opening B2108. Further, although the left rear portion of the lower wall surface B2108a has a notched shape (see FIG. 127), the punching B450 is placed on the left rear protrusion B2125, so that the punching B450 can be more stably placed. Can be placed.

Although the punching B450 has been described above as being attached to the opening B2108, the punching B450 can be arranged at an arbitrary portion in the gaming machine 1 where foreign matter is likely to enter. For example, the mesh-like portion covering the speaker (a structure for emitting the sound generated from the speaker to the outside of the gaming machine, for example, the speaker holes 6151A and 6151B shown in FIG. 49) may be configured by the punching B450.

As described above, as one embodiment of the present invention, the gaming machine 1 according to the sixth embodiment has been described.
