Some gaming machines installed in halls, arcades, and the like are configured as gaming machines by mounting a unit on a main body to improve maintainability. In a gaming machine having such a configuration, after the unit is mounted on the main body, it is necessary to connect the main body and the unit with a connector in order to transmit an electric signal or power. Therefore, in assembling a gaming machine including a main body and a unit, and removing the unit from the main body, two steps of mechanically fixing the main body and the unit and connecting a connector are required.
[0003]
Therefore, there is a gaming machine in which the connection between the connector of the unit and the connector of the main body is completed simultaneously with the mounting of the unit on the main body. However, in such a gaming machine, the positioning accuracy of the connectors may not be sufficiently high when the units are mounted. If the connectors are not properly aligned in such a way, attempting to forcibly connect the connectors will not only cause a problem in the electrical connection, but will also damage the connector or cause the board on which the connector is mounted. May be deformed. If the substrate on which the connector is mounted is deformed, various problems may occur, such as cracks in soldered portions and the like, causing poor contact.
[0004]
Some units have a power portion such as a motor, and some motors and the like generate vibration. When such vibrations reach the connector, the reliability of the electrical connection by the connector rapidly decreases over time.

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described more specifically with reference to the drawings.
[0019]
1. <First embodiment>
FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view showing a gaming machine main body 11 and a unit (gaming machine unit) 50 of a slot machine 10, which is a gaming machine of the first embodiment, in a separated state. The slot machine 10 of the present embodiment is configured by mounting a unit 50 to a game machine main body 11. Simultaneously with this mounting, the insertion-side connector located on the back surface of the unit 50 is fitted to the receiving-side connector provided inside the housing 12 of the gaming machine main body 11. The unit 50 in the present embodiment is a main unit, and contains a main electronic circuit for controlling the operation of the slot machine, a reel unit, and the like.
[0020]
FIG. 2 shows the insertion connector 54 provided on the back of the unit 50 and its surroundings, the reception connector 14 provided inside the housing 12 of the gaming machine main body 11, and the circuit board 16 to which it is attached. FIG. As shown in this figure, the unit 50 includes a housing 52, an insertion-side connector 54, a circuit board 56, a board holding member 60, and a guided member 64.
[0021]
The insertion-side connector 54 transmits an electric signal and electric power by being fitted to the receiving-side connector 14 provided on the game machine main body 11 at the same time that the unit 50 is mounted on the game machine main body 11. On the circuit board 56, the insertion-side connector 54 is mounted, and necessary electronic circuits are formed.
[0022]
The substrate holding member 60 includes a substrate fixing part 62 and an extending part 66. The board fixing portion 62 has higher rigidity than the circuit board 56, and is fixed in a state where the circuit board 56 is in contact with most of the area on the back surface of the circuit board 56. The extending portions 66 are formed to extend from the substrate fixing portion 62 and are provided in four. The extending portion 66 is formed so as to have lower rigidity than the substrate fixing portion 62. The substrate holding member 60 is fixed to the housing 52 via the extension 66. More specifically, on one surface of the housing 52, there are provided a plurality of support portions 70 erected in a columnar shape, and the vicinity of one end of the extension portion 66 is fixed to the support portion 70, thereby holding the substrate. The member 60 is fixed to the housing 52.
[0023]
Note that the substrate fixing portion 62 and the extending portion 66, which are components of the substrate holding member 60, are formed of the same resin material. By forming the substrate fixing portion 62 and the extending portion 66 with the same resin material in this way, the substrate fixing portion 62 and the extending portion 66 can be manufactured by one injection molding. The substrate fixing portion 62 and the extending portion 66 are formed of, for example, polyacetal (POM) resin or acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resin. Since the polyacetal resin is more flexible and durable than the ABS resin or the like, by forming the extension portion 66 with a polyacetal (POM) resin, the extension portion 66 that may be repeatedly deformed each time the unit 50 is taken in and out is formed. High durability can be provided. Note that the substrate fixing part 62 and the extending part 66 may be formed of different resin materials.
[0024]
The unit 50 includes the guided member 64 provided on the board holding member 60 or the circuit board 56 as described above. The game machine main body 11 also includes a guide member 18 erected on the circuit board 16 as shown in FIG. 2, for example. The guide member 18 may be formed so as to stand upright from the housing 12 of the game machine main body 11. The guide member 18 has a guide surface 19, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, and the guided member 64 provided on the substrate holding member 60 moves in the direction of the arrow (the unit 50 is completely mounted). ), The guided member 64 is guided so as to be at a predetermined position with respect to the guide member 18. As a result, the insertion-side connector 54 moves to a predetermined position corresponding to the reception-side connector 14, and the insertion-side connector 54 can be securely fitted to the reception-side connector 14.
[0025]
FIGS. 4A and 4B are partial side views schematically showing the board holding member 60, the circuit board 56, and the support portion 70. FIG. The extending portion 66 of the substrate holding member 60 is formed so as to be easily deformed as shown by a chain line in these figures. The direction in which the substrate holding member 60 moves due to the deformation as shown in FIG. 4A may be opposite to the direction in which the unit 50 may deviate from the predetermined mounting position in the game machine main body 11. Has become. That is, there is a possibility that the unit 50 is mounted with a slight shift from the predetermined mounting position to the side, but the board fixing portion 62 is moved in such a direction as to cancel such a shift of the unit 50 from the predetermined mounting position to the side. Can be easily moved by the flexibility of the extending portion 66. Therefore, the position of the insertion-side connector 54 on the board fixing portion 62 can be easily adjusted to the position of the receiving-side connector 14 of the gaming machine main body 11.
[0026]
Further, as shown in FIG. 4B, the extension 66 of the substrate holding member 60 is deformed, so that the receiving connector 14 and the insertion connector 54 collide when the unit 50 is inserted. It can also absorb shocks such as in the case of
[0027]
FIG. 5 is a partial bottom view of the substrate holding member 60. As shown in this figure, the substrate fixing portion 62 of the substrate holding member 60 has a thick portion 63 formed on the bottom surface thereof so as to be thicker than other portions and extending vertically and horizontally. The thick portion 63 has, for example, a thickness as shown in FIG. Since the substrate fixing portion 62 has the thick portion 63 extending vertically and horizontally in this manner, compared to a case where the entire substrate fixing portion 62 is made thicker, the resin for manufacturing the substrate fixing portion 62 does not greatly increase. The rigidity can be increased.
[0028]
As described above, according to the present embodiment, the insertion-side connector 54 provided on the unit 50 is connected to the receiving-side connector provided on the game machine main body 11 at the same time that the unit 50 is mounted on the game machine main body 11. 14 is fitted. In addition, the circuit board 56 on which the insertion-side connector 54 is mounted is fixed in a state where most of the back surface is in contact with the board fixing portion 62 having higher rigidity, and the board holding member 60 is more rigid than the board fixing portion 62. It is fixed to the housing 52 via a plurality of low extending portions 66. Therefore, even if a force is applied to the insertion-side connector 54, deformation accompanying the force is almost generated in the extending portion 66, and the circuit board 56 on which the insertion-side connector 54 is mounted is hardly deformed. As a result, there is little possibility that the deformation of the circuit board 56 causes cracks in the soldered portions and the like and causes problems such as poor contact.
[0029]
Further, since the substrate holding member 60 is fixed to the housing 52 via the plurality of extending portions 66 having lower rigidity than the substrate fixing portion 62, vibration generated inside the unit 50 is absorbed by the extending portion 66, The transmission of vibration to the circuit board 56 and the insertion-side connector 54 is small. Therefore, the reliability of the electrical connection between the insertion-side connector 54 and the receiving-side connector 14 suddenly decreases due to such vibrations reaching the insertion-side connector 54. Can be prevented.
[0030]
The slot machine 10 as the gaming machine according to the present embodiment is configured such that the connection between the insertion-side connector 54 of the unit 50 and the connector of the gaming machine body is completed at the same time when 50 units are mounted on the gaming machine body 11. However, high reliability is obtained by the above-described structure.
