Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a television game device in which a game is played by displaying a game image on a monitor television.

[Background Art] Conventionally, this type of television game device has a circuit section (not shown) consisting of a game circuit and a power supply circuit, as shown in FIG.
, an operation unit (4) for inputting operation signals, a t-television TV f5i for displaying the entire game image, and a coin detection control unit for detecting coin insertion and controlling the operating time of the circuit unit and monitor TV (5). 6) and were housed in a table-type housing 00) and were folded into one piece. However, with six such conventional examples, there is a problem in that the game content cannot be easily changed by the user. In other words, to replace the printed circuit board on which the game circuit is mounted,
It is necessary to disassemble the housing (2) and take out the printed circuit board on which the game circuit is mounted from the back of the housing, and also change the wiring if the input/output terminals of the printed circuit board are in different positions. It was a hassle to do without it, and it was difficult for the user to perform this work. Therefore, if you want to change the game content, you will have to take the video game device to the manufacturer and have the game circuit board installed and the board replaced.
There were problems in that transportation costs were high and it was time consuming and expensive.

Objective 1 of "E Intervention" The present invention has been made in view of the above points, and an object thereof is to provide a video game device that allows the user to easily change the game content.

[Disclosure of ``Example 9''] (Example) Figures 2 to 7 show an example of the present invention, (]
) is a device body equipped with a gaming circuit section 2), a power supply circuit section (3), and a coin storage section (not shown). There is a storage recess (8) that stores the game circuit and υ (1ω), which will be described later.
A connector (9) is provided on the side wall of the storage recess (8). (8a) is a lid that completely closes the curved opening of the storage recess (8), and is opened forward and downward, and is provided with a maginet latch (8b). (+o) It is a tri game circuit block, and the game circuit section 9 (2) is a program that takes over the entire game circuit section (ROM containing game circuits), and ICs such as a CPU are mounted. It is housed in a case (12) consisting of a board (11)'(]]l-case body 12)' and a cover (+21"), and the case (12) includes a metal shield case and a synthetic resin insulated case. , edge case may be used, and a heat dissipation hole (12a) is bored in the upper surface.

(13) The connector part (lla
) and the connector (9) disposed on the side wall of the storage opening Fti (8), and the connector part (14a) is connected to the connector part Lla) and the connector (9). (14b) and a cable (15), the input/output terminal arrangement of the connector part (lla) of the printed circuit board (l+1) is arranged in a predetermined arrangement ( In the embodiment, the connector parts (14a') (14b) k case ILI (
Since the conversion connection means (3]? connected at 15) is used, the cable (1
5) and ] Pull out the connector part top + b) and store the four storage parts (
8) is connected to the connector (9), but the connector part (
14-b) The connector (9) is provided protruding from the rear side of the Th case (12), and the connector (9) is completely arranged on the rear side of the storage recess (8).
) When inserted into the connector part (14a')
may be connected to the connector 9). (4
) is the operation unit for inputting all operation signals, and the operation unit (4) includes a + - switch (16) for inputting left and right, up and down operations, and a push button switch for inputting operation timing such as missile launch. (1'7), a +/- switch (18) for inputting numbers, etc., a changeover switch (+9) for game method (1 player, 2 players), etc. Input/output signals are input/output to the game circuit section (2+VC) via a connection cable (21) introduced into the device main body (1) through a notch hole (20a), and a connection cable H is connected to the device via a connector (21a). It is designed to be connected to the internal wiring (not shown) of the main body (1). (5) is a monitor television that displays a game image based on the video signal output from the game circuit section (2); Connection cables 92) such as wires and power lines are introduced into the apparatus main body ill through the notch holes (20b)k, and are connected to internal wiring at connectors 22a). (6)] is a coin detection control unit that detects coins inserted through the coin input port tOV and connects the device body fi+ and tnitaterehi (
5), and the connection cable (24) is connected to the device body (1) through the notch hole (20c) i.
) and is connected to the internal wiring through the connector 24a)K. In addition, in the embodiment, the coin storage box is located in the main body of the device [
It is located inside the door at the bottom of 1), and there is a coin slot (
The coins inserted are stored in this coin storage box through the notch hole (20e)'.

Now, prepare a plurality of game circuit blocks with different game content, and select the game circuit block (lα) in which the game column of the desired game is set. 7) into the storage recess (8) that opens on the front side, and connect the connector part (141) of the conversion connection means (+3).
) to the connector (9) of the storage recess (8), the game content of the video game device can be changed very easily by all users. Therefore, at game centers etc., game circuits are sold together with coins (10).
(C) allows you to play the desired game by inserting a coin, and one TV game device can operate as a TV game device with different game contents, increasing productivity. (This has the effect of improving the +el+ rate.

Furthermore, since the conversion connection means (131i) is used, it is possible to easily reuse the printed circuit board (11) with a uniform terminal arrangement.

[Effects of the Invention] As described above, the present invention includes an operation section for inputting an operation signal;
It consists of a game circuit section that generates a game image based on the preset game rhodium, and a monitor television that displays the game image based on the image signal received from the game circuit section. In a video game device, a game circuit block is formed by housing an FC printed circuit board in a case on which a game circuit is mounted, and a lock for the game circuit is detachably connected to a storage recess opened in a curved surface of the housing by connecting it with a connector. By preparing and storing multiple types of game circuit blocks and attaching any game circuit lock to the storage recess, the user can easily change the game content. There is no need to transport the game to the manufacturer and have the game content changed as in the example, there is no damage caused by transport, and there is no need for transport costs.
This has the effect of greatly reducing the time required to change the game content.

In the embodiment, the main body of the device, the TV monitor, the operating section, etc. are formed separately, and a housing recess is provided in the housing of the main body of the device. It goes without saying that the integrated housing may be provided with a storage recess for storing the game circuit.
