Gaming machine
View Patent ↗It is an object of the present invention to provide a gaming machine whose casing is made compact with a reduced number of components of a radiation mechanism. A slot machine comprising a casing 411 accommodating therein a security cage SK having therein a APX motherboard AM and having a shelf board R 21 , wherein the APX motherboard has a control unit (not-shown CPU), and a fan configured to cool the control unit; an air hole 411 i is formed on a side surface of the casing 411 ; the shelf board R 21 has a hollow portion; and the hollow portion serves as an air intake duct which, with an aide of a negative pressure generated in the security cage SK by the fan, supplies an external air from the air hole 411 i to the security cage SK.
1. A gaming machine comprising a casing accommodating therein a power source box configured to receive power supplied from an external power source and supply the power to the gaming machine, and a substrate box having therein a control board and having a shelf board, wherein
the casing comprises:
an air intake duct configured to supply external air to the substrate box,
a power source box fan configured to supply air to the power supply box through a different path from the external air supplied by the air intake duct,
an exhaust heat chamber in which the external air having passed through the substrate box and the air having passed through the power source box flow, and
an exhaust passage through which the external air and the air having flowed into the exhaust heat chamber are discharged.
2. The gaming machine according to claim 1 , wherein
an exhaust fan is provided to the exhaust passage, and
the external air having passed through the substrate box and the air having passed through the power source box is discharged from the exhaust port of the exhaust passage, by operating the exhaust fan.
3. A gaming machine comprising a casing accommodating therein a power source box configured to receive power supplied from an external power source and supply the power to the gaming machine, and a substrate box having therein a control board and having a shelf board, wherein
the casing comprises:
an air intake duct configured to supply external air to the substrate box,
an exhaust heat chamber in which the external air having passed through the substrate box and air having passed through the power source box flow, and
an exhaust passage through which the external air and the air having flowed into the exhaust heat chamber are discharged, wherein,
the substrate box accommodates therein a fan;
an air intake port is formed on a side surface of the casing;
the shelf board of the casing has a hollow portion; and the hollow portion serves as an air intake duct which, with an aide of a negative pressure generated in the substrate box by the fan, supplies an external air from the air intake port to the substrate box.
4. The gaming machine according to claim 3 , wherein
the control board has a control unit mounted thereon, and
the fan is mounted on the control board and cools down the control unit.
