The press-in board exchange device 51 allows the press-in board exchange device 51 to transfer the press-in board 53 between the press-in board storage rack 49 and the press device 45.
The structure of 51 can be simplified, and the press-fitting plate 53 can be easily and quickly replaced with a simple movement. When assembling the game board 6, the gauge plates 7 of the gauge plate stacked portion are supplied one by one to the receiving table 32 of the transport means 30 side by the gauge plate supply device 54 so that the front side of the gauge plate 7 is upward. While the gauge plate 7 is placed on the pedestal 32, the pedestal 32 is sequentially conveyed to the front-side component mounting line 33 side.

When the cradle 32 on which the gauge plate 7 is placed reaches each working position 38 of the front side component mounting line 33,
The cradle stopping device 40 in the work position 38 is operated to stop and position the cradle 32. Each working position 38
Then, the worker takes out each front side component 16 from the front side component shelf 47 and puts each front side component 16 into the gauge plate 7 as shown in FIG.
And set them temporarily at each component mounting site.

In this case, a part of the front side component 16 such as the variable symbol display means 10 is fitted into the mounting hole 23 of the gauge plate 7 and the tip end of each mounting pin 26 is inserted into the pin hole of the gauge plate 7.
Insert into 24. As a result, each front part 16 is connected to the gauge plate 7
It can be temporarily stopped in a state where it is positioned at the component mounting site, and the positional deviation of each front side component 16 when the carrier 32 is carried by the carrier means 30 can be prevented.

In this way, while the receiving table 32 passes through each work position 38 of the front side component mounting line 33, all the front side components 16 are set and temporarily fixed on the gauge plate 7 thereon. Then, when the receiving table 32 after the setting of the front component 16 is moved to the pressing device 45 side on the lower side of the front component mounting line 33, the receiving table 32 is moved to the feed roller 62 of the pressing device 45 and the guide plate. 63 guides the user onto the press bed 59.

When the receiving table 32 reaches a predetermined position on the press bed 59, the feed roller 62 descends as shown in FIG. 9, and the receiving table 32 sits on the press bed 59, and is moved by a positioning mechanism (not shown). After positioning and clamping the gauge plate 7 on the pedestal 32 by a clamp machine (not shown), the press head 60 of the press device 45 is lowered along the column 66.

Then, the lower end of each press-fit pin 72 of the press-fit plate 53 mounted below the press head 60 comes into contact with the pressing portion of each front component 16. When the press head 60 is further lowered, each press-fit pin 72 presses the pressing portion of each front side component 16 downward, and as shown in FIG. Then, each front side component 16 is fixed to the gauge plate 7. Therefore, if each front side component 16 is set and temporarily fixed on the gauge plate 7, each front side component 16 can be fixed to the gauge plate 7 at a stroke by press-fitting with the press device 45, and compared with the conventional fixing method using screws. As a result, work efficiency is dramatically improved.

When the mounting pin 26 is press-fitted by pressing the pressing portion of the front part 16 with the press-fit pin 72, if the spring force of the compression spring 73 is set to be larger than the press-fit resistance, the mounting pin by the press-fit pin 72 is set. The compression spring 73 does not deform when press-fitting 26,
The mounting pin 26 can be securely pressed into the pin hole 24. When the mounting base 25 comes into contact with the front side of the gauge plate 7, the compression spring 73 is compressed and the press-fit pin 72 relatively rises, so that the front-side component 16 is not damaged when the press-fit pin 72 press-fits. Further, even if there is a slight difference in height between the respective front-side components 16, the respective front-side components 16 can be easily and reliably fixed to the gauge plate 7.

When the fixing of the front side component 16 is completed, the press head 60 is raised and the feed roller 62 is raised to lift the pedestal 32 from the press bed 59 and to convey the pedestal 32 to the gauge plate reversing line 37. . When the cradle 32 reaches the gauge plate reversing device 55 side, the cradle is positioned at that position.

As shown in FIG. 1, the printed circuit board 18, the spacer 19, and the collective plate 20
After setting, etc., the front end side of the mounting pin 27 of the back cover 21 is inserted into the pin hole 28 of the gauge plate 7 from each hole of the printed circuit board 18 etc.
Each back side component 22 is set on the back side of the gauge plate 7 by a method such as insertion into the gauge plate 7 and temporarily fixed. Then, when the setting of the back part 22 is completed, after the receiving table 32 is conveyed to the press device 46 side, the mounting pin 27 of the back part 22 is pressed into the pin hole 28 by the press-fit pin 72 of the press device 46. Then, each back side component 22 is fixed to the gauge plate 7.

Since the mounting of the front part 16 and the back part 22 on the gauge plate 7 is completed, the receiving table 32 is sent to the next finishing line 35, and the lead wire connector is connected at the working position. Perform finishing work and finish as one game board 6. Thereafter, the cradle 32 is transported to the turntable 58 side, and the gauge plate 7 thereon is taken out to the carry-out line 56 side by the gauge plate take-out device 57, and then the turntable 58 is operated to remove the empty cradle 32. What is necessary is just to convey it to the gauge board supply line 36 side, and the assembly operation of one game board 6 is completed.

To remove the press-fitting plate 53 of the press device 45, first insert the fork 78 of the press-fitting plate changing device 51 below the press-fitting plate 53, and then release the clamp of the press-fitting plate 53 by the clamp mechanism 67. Then, the press-fitting plate 53 is placed on the fork 78. Then, after returning the fork 78 from the press device 45 side to the elevating platform 77, the elevating platform 77 is moved up or down to the empty position side of the press-fit storage rack 49, and then the press-fit 53 is a receiving member in the empty position on the press-fit storage rack 49 side
