DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an open / close state of an inner frame (also referred to as a front frame, a front frame, a front door, etc.) which can be opened and closed with respect to an outer frame fixed to a game island. The present invention relates to a gaming machine provided with a detection device for detecting an open / close state of a glass holding frame (also referred to as a glass frame, a metal frame, or the like) that is installed to be openable and closable with respect to the frame.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, a gaming machine has an outer frame fixed to a gaming island, an inner frame installed to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame, and a glass holding frame installed to be openable and closable with respect to the inner frame. And The inner frame includes a game board and a mechanism board, and the glass holding frame includes a glass plate for covering the surface of the game board. Many gaming machines include a detection device for detecting the open / closed state of the inner frame and the open / closed state of the glass holding frame. This detection device has a push-button type inner frame open detection switch and a glass holding frame open detection switch in which the contacts are closed (conducting state) when the push button is pressed down. The installation position of the frame) open detection switch is such that when the inner frame (glass holding frame) is closed, the push button is pressed by the inner frame (glass holding frame), and when the inner frame (glass holding frame) is opened, the pressing is released. Is determined in advance. Then, the detection device grasps the open / closed state of the inner frame (glass holding frame) by detecting the state of the contact of the inner frame (glass holding frame) open detection switch (for example, see Japanese Patent Publication No. 5-73433). . And
The open / closed state of the inner frame (glass holding frame) detected by the detecting device of each gaming machine is managed by a hall computer. For this reason, even if an outsider opens the inner frame or glass holding frame by stealing the clerk's eyes, the fact will be detected by the detection device, so take action before serious damage occurs in the pachinko game hall Can be.

[0003]

By the way, when a gaming machine is installed on a gaming island, the outer frame usually has a slight distortion, so that the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame changes. There are many. Particularly, in recent years, the inner frame is very heavy because the liquid crystal display and electric accessories provided on the game board have become larger and the number of control devices (boards) provided on the mechanism board has increased. For this reason, the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame is easily changed. When the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame changes in this way, the push button of the inner frame open detection switch may not be properly pressed, and the opening and closing of the inner frame may not be correctly detected. In some cases, the inner frame release detection switch is depressed excessively and the inner frame release detection switch is damaged, or the inner frame release detection switch is pushed despite the inner frame being closed. The button and the inner frame may not contact at all. For this reason,
After installing the gaming machine on the gaming island, it is necessary to adjust the installation position of the inner frame open detection switch again. Furthermore, the outer frame, inner frame,
Since a slight distortion occurs in the glass holding frame, the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame and the positional relationship between the inner frame and the glass holding frame often change similarly. Then, the inner frame (glass holding frame)
Open detection switch does not function properly. For this reason,
It is necessary to check whether the inner frame (glass holding frame) opening detection switch is functioning properly. If not, it is necessary to adjust the installation position again. As described above, the position of the inner frame (glass holding frame) opening detection switch must be adjusted each time the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame and the positional relationship between the inner frame and the glass holding frame change. It is troublesome.

Accordingly, the present invention provides an accurate opening and closing of the inner frame and the glass holding frame even if the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame and the positional relationship between the inner frame and the glass holding frame are slightly changed. It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine capable of detecting the information.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems and Effects of the Invention In order to achieve such an object, a gaming machine according to the first invention has the following features.
As described in claim 1, an outer frame fixed to the game island,
Whether the inner frame installed to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame, and the detected portion provided on one of the outer frame or the inner frame and provided on the other of the outer frame or the inner frame are in contact with each other. And an inner frame opening / closing detecting means for detecting whether or not the inner frame is open / closed by detecting whether the inner frame is open / closed. It is characterized by being installed so as to be displaceable according to a change in the relationship.

[0006] In the gaming machine according to the first invention, the inner frame opening / closing detecting means for detecting the open / closed state of the inner frame is not fixed to the outer frame or the inner frame. It is installed so as to be displaceable in accordance with a change in the positional relationship with the detected part in the closed state. For this reason, even if the positional relationship between the inner frame opening / closing detecting means and the detected portion changes when the gaming machine is installed on the gaming island, or the heat,
Even if the positional relationship between the inner frame opening / closing detecting means and the detected part changes due to the influence of moisture, vibration, and the like, the installation position of the inner frame opening / closing detecting means changes according to the change in the positional relationship. The open / closed detection means and the detected portion are in correct contact with each other when the inner frame is closed. Therefore, opening and closing of the inner frame can be correctly detected. Specifically, when the detected portion is too close to the inner frame opening / closing detecting means, the inner frame opening / closing detecting device moves away from the detected portion of the inner frame. If it is too far from the opening / closing detection means, the inner frame opening / closing detection means is displaced so as to approach the detected portion of the inner frame.

For this reason, even if the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame slightly changes, it is not necessary to adjust the installation position of the inner frame opening / closing detecting means, so that the burden on the clerk at the pachinko game hall is greatly reduced. be able to. Incidentally, since the detection device body for acquiring the detection result by the inner frame opening / closing detecting means is usually installed in the inner frame, the inner frame opening / closing detecting means is installed in the inner frame, and the detected part is installed in the outer frame. In this case, the wiring work of the cable connecting the inner frame opening / closing detection means and the main body of the detection device can be easily performed, and the inspection and maintenance work of the cable can also be easily performed.

Further, as described in claim 2, in the gaming machine according to the first invention, the outer frame and the inner frame are
A locking member for holding the inner frame closed by engaging with each other is provided, and the inner frame opening / closing detecting means detects that the locking members of the outer frame and the inner frame are engaged with each other. In the state, the inner frame is installed at a position where it comes into contact with the locking member on which the inner frame opening / closing detection unit is not installed, and it is determined whether the locking member is in contact with the outer frame or the inner frame. The opening / closing state of the inner frame may be detected by detecting.

Here, various types of locking members are conceivable, but in many gaming machines, a hook member having a hook-shaped tip is installed in an inner frame, and a hook-shaped portion of the hook member is provided. The engaging member which engages with the outer frame is provided on the outer frame. Note that a hooking member may be formed on the outer frame, and a hooked member may be formed on the inner frame.

For example, when a large warp occurs in the outer frame or the inner frame, the positional relationship between the outer frame and the inner frame greatly changes at a position distant from the locking member. In the engaged state, at least the positional relationship between the locking member of the outer frame and the locking member of the inner frame and the positional relationship in the vicinity thereof do not change so much. For this reason, if the locking member is used as the detected part in this manner, the positional relationship between the inner frame opening / closing detecting means and the detected part does not change so much, so that the displaceable range of the inner frame opening / closing detecting means can be narrowed. It is possible to simplify the installation structure of the inner frame open / close detecting means.

In addition, in the case of such a configuration, there is no need to separately provide a detected part, so that the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced. By the way, the inner frame is opened and closed periodically or as needed by a clerk of the pachinko game hall for checking the control device, etc., and at this time, the inner frame opening / closing detecting means collides with the detected part and generates an impact. As it suffers, it is gradually damaged over time. For this reason, in some cases, the inner frame opening / closing detection means does not function properly, and the open / closed state of the inner frame cannot be accurately detected. Then, since the inner frame opening / closing detecting means must be replaced, a burden is imposed on the clerk of the pachinko game hall.

Therefore, as described in claim 3, in the gaming machine according to the first invention, it is preferable that the inner frame opening / closing detecting means is provided via an elastic member which can be elastically deformed. In such a configuration, at the moment when the inner frame is closed and the detected portion collides with the inner frame opening / closing detecting means, the inner frame opening / closing detecting means is elastically displaced, and the impact due to the collision is reduced. For this reason, even in the case of a heavy inner frame in recent years, the inner frame opening / closing detecting means is hardly damaged and the replacement cycle becomes very long, so that the burden on the clerk of the pachinko game hall can be greatly reduced.

According to a second aspect of the present invention, there is provided a gaming machine comprising: an outer frame fixed to a game island; and an inner frame installed to be openable and closable with respect to the outer frame. A glass holding frame that is installed to be openable and closable with respect to the inner frame, and a detected part that is installed on one of the inner frame and the glass holding frame and is provided on the other of the inner frame and the glass holding frame. Glass holding frame opening / closing detection means for detecting whether or not the glass holding frame is open or closed by detecting whether or not the glass holding frame is in contact with the glass holding frame. It is characterized by being installed so as to be displaceable in accordance with a change in the positional relationship with the detected part.

In the gaming machine according to the second invention, the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means for detecting the open / closed state of the glass holding frame is not fixed to the inner frame or the glass holding frame but installed. It is installed so as to be displaceable in accordance with a change in the positional relationship with the detected part in a state where the glass holding frame is closed. For this reason, even if the positional relationship between the glass holding frame opening / closing detection means and the detection target changes due to the influence of heat, moisture, vibration, and the like over time, the glass holding frame opening / closing detection is performed in accordance with the change in the positional relationship. Since the installation position of the means changes,
The glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means and the detected portion always abut correctly in a state where the glass holding frame is closed. Therefore, opening and closing of the glass holding frame can be correctly detected. For this reason, even if the positional relationship between the inner frame and the glass holding frame slightly changes, it is not necessary to adjust the installation position of the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means. The burden on the store clerk at the amusement arcade can be greatly reduced.

The detection device main body for acquiring the detection result by the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means is usually installed in the inner frame. When the part is installed on the glass holding frame,
The wiring work of the cable connecting the glass holding frame opening / closing detection unit and the detection device main body can be easily performed, and
Inspection and maintenance work of the cable can be easily performed.

According to a fifth aspect of the present invention, in the gaming machine according to the second aspect, the inner frame and the glass holding frame are engaged with each other in a state where the glass holding frame is closed. A locking member for holding is installed, and the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means is in a state where the locking members of the inner frame and the glass holding frame are engaged with each other,
Of the inner frame or the glass holding frame, the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means is installed at a position where it comes into contact with the locking member on which the glass holding frame opening / closing detection unit is not installed, and detects whether or not the locking member is in contact. Thereby, the open / close state of the glass holding frame may be detected.

When the locking members of the inner frame and the glass holding frame are engaged with each other, at least the positional relationship between the locking member of the inner frame and the locking member of the outer frame and the positional relationship in the vicinity thereof change greatly. do not do. For this reason, if the locking member is used as the detection target in this manner, the positional relationship between the glass holding frame opening / closing detection means and the detection target does not change so much, and the range in which the glass holding frame opening / closing detection means can be displaced is narrowed. Therefore, the installation structure of the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means can be simplified. In addition, in the case of such a configuration, it is not necessary to separately provide the detected part, and thus it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine.

Further, as described in claim 6, in the gaming machine according to the second invention, it is preferable that the glass holding frame opening / closing detecting means is provided via an elastic member which can be elastically deformed. In such a configuration, at the moment when the glass holding frame is closed and the detected portion collides with the glass holding frame opening / closing detection unit, the glass holding frame opening / closing detection unit is elastically displaced, and the impact due to the collision is reduced. . For this reason, the glass holding frame opening / closing detection means is less likely to be damaged, and the replacement cycle becomes very long, so that the burden on the clerk at the pachinko game hall can be greatly reduced.

When the inner frame 20 is closed and the hook 22a is hooked on the hooked plate 12a, the inner frame open detection switch 62 is pushed by the hooked plate 12a. It is predetermined so that the button 62a is pressed.

Next, the operation of the gaming machine of this embodiment will be described. FIG. 5 is a schematic side view for explaining the operation of the inner frame opening detection unit. In FIG. 5, the middle plate 24 is omitted. First, in a state where the inner frame 20 is opened, the push button 62a of the inner frame
5A, only the biasing force of the spring described above acts on the inner frame opening detection switch 62, as shown in FIG.
Push button 62a is protruding, and the contact is open. Further, the main body of the inner frame opening detection switch 62 is supported by the switch cover 64 and the switch stopper plate 66 in a state in which the main body of the switch 62 is in contact with a hook 64 b of the switch cover 64.

Then, the inner frame 20 is closed and the hook 22 is closed.
5A, the hooked plate 12a approaches the inner frame opening detection unit 60, and the push button 62a of the inner frame opening detection switch 62 is pressed, as shown in FIG. 5B. You.
Then, the contact of the inner frame open detection switch 62 is closed. The main body of the inner frame opening detection switch 62 is

FIG. 5B shows a state in which the positional relationship between the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 20 is proper. When the gaming machine 1 is installed on a game island, the outer frame 10 The positional relationship between the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 20 is in an appropriate state due to the occurrence of distortion, or the occurrence of distortion in the outer frame 10 and the inner frame 20 under the influence of heat, moisture, vibration, and the like over time. May change. When the inner frame 20 is closed and the hook 22a is hooked on the hooked plate 12a in a state where the positional relationship is changing, the hooked plate 12a may come too close to the inner frame open detection unit 60. However, since the inner frame opening detection switch 62 is installed on the middle plate 24 via the switch stopper plate 66 having the elastic arm 66a, the inner frame opening detection switch 62 is excessively pressed by the hooked plate 12a. Then, as shown in FIG. 5C, the elastic arm 66a is elastically deformed, and the inner frame open detection switch 62 is displaced to the right side in FIG. 5, that is, to the front side of the gaming machine. Then, the positional relationship between the inner frame opening detection switch 62 and the hooked plate 12a becomes closer to the proper positional relationship shown in FIG. That is, the change in the positional relationship between the inner frame open detection switch 62 and the hooked plate 12a is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the elastic arm 66a. Therefore, the push button 62a is not pressed more than necessary. Note that the hook 22a is connected to the hooked plate 12a.
If it is hung on the
5A does not move further away from the inner frame opening detecting unit 60 than the state shown in FIG. 5B, so that if the positional relationship between the hook 22a and the inner frame opening detecting unit 60 is appropriately determined in advance, the pushing can be performed. The button 62a and the hooked plate 12a do not contact each other.

In this embodiment, the latched plate 12a
Correspond to the above-mentioned detected portion, the inner frame opening detection switch 62 corresponds to the above-described inner frame opening / closing detecting means, and the switch stopper plate 66 (elastic arm 66a) corresponds to the above-described elastic member. Hook plates 12a, 12b and hooks 22a, 22
b corresponds to the above-described locking member.

Next, the effects of the gaming machine of the present embodiment will be described. According to the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, when the positional relationship between the inner frame open detection switch 62 and the hooked plate 12a changes, the installation position of the inner frame open detection switch 62 according to the change in the positional relationship. Changes, and when the inner frame 20 is closed, the push button 62a of the inner frame open detection switch 62 and the hooked plate 12a come into correct contact, so that the installation position of the inner frame open detection switch 62 is frequently changed. No adjustment is required. For this reason, the burden on the clerk at the pachinko game hall can be significantly reduced.

In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the inner frame 20 is closed and the locked plate 12a is moved to the inner frame open detection switch 62.
At the moment of collision, the elastic arm 66a of the switch stopper plate 66 that supports the bottom surface of the inner frame open detection switch 62 is elastically deformed to relieve the impact due to the collision, and the inner frame open detection switch 62 and the hooked plate 12a The change of the positional relationship with the elastic arm 6
6a absorbs the push button 62a from being depressed more than necessary.
The (push button 62a) is less likely to be damaged, and the replacement cycle becomes very long. For this reason, the burden on the clerk at the pachinko game hall can be significantly reduced.

In the gaming machine 1 according to the present embodiment, the hooked plate 1
Push button 62a of inner frame open detection switch 62 by 2a
Is pressed down, but if the hooked plate 12a of the outer frame 10 and the hook 22a of the inner frame 20 are engaged with each other, at least the hooked plate 12a The positional relationship between the hook and the hook 22a and the positional relationship in the vicinity thereof do not change so much. For this reason, when the hooked plate 12a and the hook 22a are engaged with each other, the hooked plate 12a does not largely separate from the inner frame opening detection unit 60, and thus the inner frame opening detection is performed. The displacement range of the part 60 is narrowed,
That is, the amount of deformation of the elastic arm 66a of the switch stopper plate 66 can be reduced, and the structure of the switch stopper plate 66 can be simplified.

In the gaming machine 1 of the present embodiment, the latched plate 12a provided on the outer frame 10 is used as a detected portion for detecting the open / closed state of the inner frame 20, so that the detected There is no need to provide a separate section. For this reason, the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced.

The embodiment of the present invention has been described above. However, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment, and it is needless to say that the present invention may be implemented in various modes. For example, in the embodiment, the inner frame opening detection unit 6
Reference numeral 0 denotes the inner frame 20 (middle plate 24), and the hooked plates 12a and 12b as the detected portions are installed on the outer frame 10. However, the inner frame open detection unit 60 is hooked on the outer frame 10. Board 12
a and 12b may be installed in the inner frame 20.

In the embodiment, the inner frame opening detecting section 60 is installed on the back side of the
Is configured to detect the open / closed state of the middle plate 2.
By installing the gaming machine 4 on the front side of the gaming machine 1,
The open / close state of the glass holding frame 90 holding the glass plate covering the surface of the “0” may be detected. FIG. 6 is an enlarged perspective view for explaining the appearance of the surface of the gaming machine with the glass holding frame 90 opened.

As shown in FIG. 6, the glass holding frame 90 includes a hooked plate 92 and glass plate holding portions 94a and 94b for holding two glass plates. When the hooked hook 92 locks the hooked plate 92, the hook 92 is held in a closed state.
The middle plate 24 has an inner frame opening detection unit 60.
Similarly to the above, the glass holding frame opening detection unit 98 constituted by a detection switch, a switch cover, a switch stopper plate, etc.
Is installed. Then, the glass holding frame opening detecting section 9
When the glass holding frame 90 is closed and the hook 96 is hooked on the hooked plate 92, the push button of the detection switch constituting the glass holding frame opening detection unit 98 is set to the hooked position. It is set so as to be pressed by the plate 92.

With this configuration, the same effect as in the above-described embodiment can be obtained in detecting the open / closed state of the glass holding frame 90. That is, the positional relationship between the inner frame 20 and the glass holding frame 90 is determined by heat and heat over time.
Even if it changes under the influence of moisture, vibration, etc., the open / closed state of the glass holding frame 90 can be correctly detected, and
The impact when closing the glass holding frame 90 can be reduced. Further, since the hooked plate 92 is used as a detected portion, it is not necessary to separately provide a detected portion. For this reason, the manufacturing cost of the gaming machine can be reduced.
