For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0034] The following first describes in detail the game board 100 according to an embodiment of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0035] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the game board 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a board body 10 , an outer rib 20 and an inner rib 30 , an adjustment portion 40 , an ejection assembly 22 , a barrier portion 11 and a receiving platform 50 .

[0036] Specifically, the outer rib 20 is provided on one side of the plate body 10 along the circumferential extension of the outer contour of the plate body 10, and the outer rib 20 cooperates with the surface of one side of the plate body 10 to define a chamber with one side open, and the bottom edge of the outer rib 20 is provided with a plurality of receiving portions 60 arranged at intervals, and at least a portion of the inner rib 30 is provided on the upper part of the plate body 10 along the circumferential extension of the outer contour of the plate body 10 and is spaced from the outer rib 20 to form a goal channel, and a mounting portion 21 is provided at one end of the goal channel; the adjustment portion is provided on the upper part of the plate body 10, and the adjustment portion is defined with an adjustment channel 43, and the upper end of the adjustment channel 43 is connected to the other end of the goal channel, and the adjustment channel 43 The lower end is formed as an opening that opens downward, and the ejection assembly 22 is arranged on the mounting portion 21. The ejection assembly 22 can eject the marbles in the goal channel from one end of the goal channel to the other end and enter the chamber from the opening. A plurality of baffle portions 11 are spaced apart on one side of the main body and are located below the opening. Any two adjacent baffle portions 11 cooperate to define a ball outlet channel for accommodating the marbles from the opening to the receiving portion 60. The receiving platform 50 is arranged below the opening and spaced apart from the opening. A portion of the upper surface of the receiving platform 50 is formed as a receiving surface located above the baffle portion 11. The receiving surface is symmetrical with respect to the axis and can receive the marbles falling from the opening.

[0037] In other words, the game board 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is mainly composed of a board body 10, an outer rib 20 and an inner rib 30, an adjustment portion 40, an ejection assembly 22, a barrier portion 11 and a receiving platform 50. Figure 1 As shown, the outer retaining edge 20 is arranged around the plate body 10 to form a chamber structure, and at the bottom of the interior of the chamber, there are receiving portions 60 distributed at intervals. In the upper part of the formed chamber structure, the inner retaining edge 30 is arranged parallel to the outer retaining edge 20 to form a goal channel. At one end of the goal channel, there is a mounting portion 21. The ejection assembly 22 arranged in the mounting portion 21 can effectively eject the marbles from the bottom end of the goal channel to the other end. On the other side of the goal channel, there is an adjusting portion, and an adjusting channel 43 is arranged in the adjusting portion. The upper end of the adjusting channel 43 is connected to the other end of the goal channel, and the lower end of the adjusting channel 43 is formed as an opening open downward. The adjusting channel 43 can adjust the force direction of the marbles ejected from the goal channel, so that the marbles ejected through the ejection assembly 22 can fall from the opening at the lower end of the adjusting channel 43.

[0038] Below the opening of the adjustment channel 43, a plurality of spaced-apart baffles 11 are provided, and the game balls can randomly pass through the gaps between any two baffles 11 and enter different receiving parts 60, and each receiving part 60 can be set with different marks according to different playing methods of the game board. Below the opening of the adjustment channel 43, there is also a receiving platform 50 facing the opening, and the upper surface of the receiving platform 50 is formed as a receiving surface. When the force on the marbles falling from the opening is relatively uniform, the receiving surface has a certain probability of receiving the marbles, and the receiving surface can also be set with different marks according to different playing methods, thereby increasing the selectivity of the marbles falling from the opening.

[0039] Therefore, according to the game board of the embodiment of the present invention, by arranging multiple baffles on the game board, the multiple baffles can randomly guide the marbles entering the chamber from the goal channel to different receiving parts, and at the same time a receiving platform is arranged on the baffle, and the receiving platform also has a receiving surface that can receive the marbles, so that the marbles entering the chamber from the goal channel can not only be guided to the receiving part by the baffles, but also have a certain probability of staying on the receiving surface, thereby increasing the selectivity of marble falling and improving the defects of the traditional pinball game board device with a single structure and monotonous gameplay.

[0040] According to one embodiment of the present invention, there are two inner guard edges 30 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper part of the plate body 10, each inner guard edge 30 is respectively arranged in parallel with the adjacent outer guard edge 20, and the adjustment portion includes two adjustment plates 44 spaced apart and symmetrically arranged, the upper end of each adjustment plate 44 is respectively connected to the upper end of the inner guard edge 30 on the corresponding side, and the lower ends of the two adjustment plates 44 are close to each other downward to form an opening.

[0041] In other words, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an inner rib 30 is respectively provided on both sides of the upper part of the game board 10, and the two inner ribs 30 are respectively spaced from the outer rib 20 to define two independent goal channels, each of which is roughly formed in an L shape, wherein the transverse channel and the longitudinal channel of each goal channel are smoothly transitioned, and the lower end of each goal channel is respectively provided with an ejection assembly 22, and the transverse channels of the two goal channels are arranged oppositely and are respectively connected to the adjustment channel 43, and the ejection assembly 22 can eject the marbles from the lower end of the goal channel into the adjustment channel 43. The adjustment channel 43 can be roughly formed as a conical channel with an upper space larger than a lower space, and the lower end of the adjustment channel 43 is formed as an opening. Thus, by setting two goal channels, two people can play the game at the same time, which improves the fun of the game, and by setting the adjustment channel 43 into this structure, the running trajectory of the marbles can be effectively adjusted to prevent the marbles from moving randomly on the game board 10.

[0042] Optionally, in some specific embodiments of the present invention, the game board 100 further includes a stop portion 41, which is disposed on the upper portion of the board body 10 and located at the upper end of the adjustment channel 43, and the distance between the stop portion 41 and the upper edge of the outer retaining edge 20 is smaller than the size of the marbles.

[0043] That is to say, a stopper 41 is provided at the upper end of the adjustment channel 43 adjacent to the outer retaining edge 20. The stopper 41 is located between the upper ends of the two goal channels, that is, it is most likely located on the running trajectory of the marbles ejected from the goal channels. By controlling the distance between the stopper 41 and the upper edge of the outer retaining edge 20, the stopper 41 can effectively block the marbles, thereby moving the marbles from their original running trajectory to the adjustment channel 43, and finally falling from the opening.

[0044] Preferably, the stopper 41 is formed in a circular shape and the center of the circle passes through the symmetry axis of the adjustment channel 43. Further, each adjustment plate 44 is inclined at an angle of 30° to 60° relative to the axis of the adjustment channel 43, and the middle of each adjustment plate 44 is provided with an arc-shaped boss 42 protruding toward the direction of the stopper 41. Therefore, by setting the angle of each adjustment plate 44 and providing the arc-shaped boss 42 on the adjustment plate 44, the effect of further unloading the force on the marble can be achieved.

[0045] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, at least three spaced-apart blocking portions 11 are provided in the adjustment channel 43, wherein a line connecting any two spaced-apart blocking portions 11 along the extension direction of the adjustment plate 44 on the corresponding side is parallel to the extension direction of the adjustment plate 44.

[0046] That is to say, Figure 2 As shown, the three blocking parts 11 can be arranged in a triangle in the adjustment channel 43. The marbles ejected from the goal channel will usually be rebounded to the adjustment plate 44 on the corresponding side after being stopped by the stop part 41. The arc-shaped boss 42 on the adjustment plate 44 can rebound the marbles again, and the three blocking parts 11 further unload the force on the marbles and adjust the running trajectory of the marbles, so that the marbles are only affected by gravity as much as possible when falling from the opening, further improving the randomness of the marbles falling on the receiving platform 50 or the receiving part 60.

[0047] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of each adjustment plate 44 is provided with a bend extending outward, and the bend can be parallel to the receiving surface. By improving the vertical distance between the receiving surface and the bend, the possibility of the game ball being ejected to other positions due to hitting the receiving surface can be reduced.

[0048] Preferably, the receiving surface is formed as a plane perpendicular to the axis of the adjustment channel 43, and the width of the receiving surface is equal to the width of the opening and the shortest distance between the receiving surface and the opening. Thus, by optimizing the width of the receiving surface and the size of the opening and the size relationship between the opening and the receiving surface, the probability of the marble falling on the receiving surface can be adjusted to a certain extent.

[0049] According to one embodiment of the present invention, the receiving platform 50 is formed into an inverted triangle, and the upper surface of the receiving platform 50 is formed into a receiving surface. Thus, the receiving platform 50 is set to an inverted triangle structure, and on the basis of ensuring that there is a receiving surface capable of receiving marbles, the influence of other parts of the receiving platform 50 on the running trajectory of the marbles can be reduced, thereby ensuring the randomness and fairness of the game.

[0050] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the receiving portion 60 is formed as a groove provided on the bottom edge of the outer retaining edge 20, and a card slot capable of placing a marked card is provided below each groove. Specifically, a groove capable of receiving marbles can be provided below each two stoppers 41, and the marbles passing through the stoppers 41 can fall randomly into any groove. A card slot can be provided at a corresponding position below each groove, and different cards can be provided in the card slot according to the game rules. Thus, by providing a card slot capable of placing different marked cards, the game board 100 can switch different cards according to different game rules, further improving the fun of the game.

[0051] In addition, if Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the game board 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention also includes an advertising unit 70, which can be used to set advertising logos for games played on the game board. The advertising unit 70 connects the advertising board 71 to the top of the board body 10 detachably via the advertising board connecting rod 72.

[0052] When the game board 100 according to the embodiment of the present invention is in use, the game can be played in a vertical state, or the game board 100 can be tilted at a certain angle. Optionally, according to one embodiment of the present invention, a support portion 90 can be provided on the lower surface of the board body 10, and the support portion 90 is movably connected to the lower surface of the board body 10 through a support hinge 92. The support plate 91 can be a plate member. When the support plate 91 is in a folded state, it fits the lower surface of the board body 10, which can reduce the space occupied by the game board 100. When the support plate 91 is in an open state, one end of the support plate 91 is connected to the board body 10, and the other end can stop at the ground, thereby supporting the board body 10 and tilting the board body 10.

[0053] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, game ball storage bins 80 capable of accommodating game balls may be symmetrically distributed on the left and right sides above the board body 10, and the marbles may be placed in the game area storage bins for easy access.

[0054] The following describes in detail the process of using the game board according to the embodiment of the present invention.

[0055] First, before the game, the board body 10 can be placed at an angle, or the support plate 91 provided on the lower surface of the board body 10 can be opened to support the board body 10 so that the board body 10 is tilted, and then the marbles to be ejected are taken out from the game storage compartment 80, and the game marbles are placed in the ejection assembly 22 provided on the mounting portion 21, and the ejection assembly 22 is pulled to hit the marbles, and the marbles pass through the goal channel under the action of the ejection assembly 22 and enter the adjustment channel 43. After entering the adjustment channel 43, the marbles continue to move forward under the action of inertia and hit the stopper 41 provided in the adjustment channel 43. The stopper 41 effectively unloads the force on the marbles and changes the ejection direction of the game balls, so that the game balls turn and the speed of the marbles is reduced through the adjustment plate 44 and the barrier 11. After the marbles are adjusted through the adjustment channel, the ejection force of the ejection assembly is basically eliminated, and they fall from the opening under the action of gravity alone. After falling from the opening, the marbles first fall on the receiving surface. If the force on the marbles is relatively balanced, there is a certain probability that they will fall on the receiving surface and stop. If the force on the marbles is unbalanced, they will bounce off or slide from the receiving surface after falling on the receiving surface. The marbles will hit the multiple baffles 11 provided on the lower surface of the plate body 10, and after rebounding and falling, they will finally stop on the groove with matching performance between the receiving part 60 and the outer retaining edge 20, thereby completing the operation of a pinball game.

[0056] In summary, according to the game board 100 of the embodiment of the present invention, the game ball is ejected to the adjustment channel 43 through the ejection assembly 22 provided on the mounting portion 21, and the stop portion 41 provided in the adjustment channel 43 effectively unloads the force and changes the ejection direction of the game ball, so that the game ball is turned and the speed of the ball is reduced through the adjustment plate 44 and the barrier portion 11, so that the ball is effectively brought into contact with the upper surface of the receiving platform 50, and is effectively ejected or stays on the upper surface of the receiving platform 50, and is ejected through the ejection assembly 22 of the technical solution of the present invention. Since the technical solution of the present invention is provided with the ejection assembly 22, the defect that the traditional game board cannot be used for multi-player confrontation is effectively improved. At the same time, by providing the receiving platform 50, the defects of the traditional pinball game board device having a single structure and monotonous gameplay are improved.

[0057] The above is a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
