[0030] like Figures 3 to 8 As shown, the second turntable 4 includes a plurality of second turntable bodies 41 with gear portions 411 and a rotating shaft fixed to the center portion of the second turntable body 41, the rotating shaft includes an upper rotating shaft 42 disposed on the upper portion of the second turntable body 41 and a lower rotating shaft 43 disposed on the lower portion of the second turntable body 41, the terminal end of the upper rotating shaft 42 passes through the center hole 32 of the first turntable bottom plate 3 and is fixedly connected to the first turntable 2, and the terminal end of the lower rotating shaft 43 passes through the center hole of the second turntable tray 5 and is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 6.

[0031] In the present invention, the upper rotating shaft 42 is a stepped shaft with a step, and a pin hole 421 is provided at the end of the upper rotating shaft 42. The center hole 32 of the first turntable base plate 3 is for the upper rotating shaft 42 to pass through. After the first turntable base plate 3 passes the upper rotating shaft 42 through its center hole 32, its bottom surface is adjacent to the step surface of the upper rotating shaft 42. A mounting column 22 with a mounting hole 221 is provided at the bottom of the first turntable 2. The first turntable 2 corresponds to the pin hole 421 at the end of the upper rotating shaft 42 of the second turntable 4 through the mounting hole 221 on the mounting column 22 and is fixedly connected by a pin shaft.

[0032] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the driving motor 6 is mounted on the motor seat 7, and the output shaft of the driving motor 6 is correspondingly connected to the lower rotating shaft 43 passing through the central hole 59 of the second turntable tray 5 through the coupling 8. In this way, the driving force of the driving motor 6 can drive the second turntable 4 and the first turntable 2 to rotate synchronously.

In addition, a plurality of support columns 58 for supporting the first turntable bottom plate 3 are installed on the right upper plate 52 of the second turntable tray 5, and the first turntable bottom plate 3 also has an extended tongue edge 35, which can just cover the top of the forward outlet channel 54, to ensure that the game balls are smoothly sent out without bouncing and falling to other positions.

[0035] In the present invention, if Figure 4 As shown, the range value of the inclined angle A between the output shaft of the first turntable 2, the first turntable base plate 3, the second turntable 4, the second turntable tray 5, and the driving motor 6 and the horizontal plane is 70 to 80 degrees. A certain inclination angle ensures that the game balls can be transported from top to bottom by their own weight without the need for additional power, thus saving energy and reducing consumption. At the same time, it also ensures that the game balls can be stably transported through the first turntable 2 and the second turntable 4.

[0036] In addition, in the present invention, the first turntable 2 is composed of a thin upper layer of metal sheet material and a lower layer of acrylic plate; the second turntable 4 is composed of two layers of upper and lower metal plate materials and an acrylic plate in the middle, taking into account both strength performance and high product quality requirements.

[0037] In the present invention, the corresponding positions of the front side plate 11 and the back plate 12 are provided with rectangular slots 112 and 121 for easy grasping. When the ball delivery device needs to be moved, it only needs to be snapped into the two rectangular slots 112 and 121 by hand, which is convenient and practical.

[0038] The working process of the ball delivery device of the disc-type game machine of the present invention is described in detail below:

[0039] (1) The drive motor 6 is started. At this time, the drive motor 6 is in a forward rotation state. The game ball can smoothly enter from the ball inlet 161 and be quickly and smoothly transported out from the forward ball outlet 10 of the forward ball outlet channel 54 to complete the entire ball transport process;

[0040] (2) If the game ball encounters resistance during its transmission, the detection board can promptly detect that the voltage of the drive motor 6 exceeds the set value. At this time, the drive motor will be reversed to effectively solve the problem of the game ball being stuck. At the same time, during the reversal, the open cavity area 30 on the second turntable tray 5 can be used as a channel (space) for withdrawing the ball and sending the ball out from the reverse ball outlet 20. After the problem of ball jamming is solved, the detection board detects that the voltage of the drive motor 6 is normal. At this time, the drive motor 6 resumes forward rotation to complete the game ball transmission process described in step (1), and this process is repeated.

[0041] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. Any changes or modifications to the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention. If these changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims and equivalent technologies of the present invention, the present invention is also meant to include these changes and modifications.
