Four groups of sand storage cups 14 are placed on the upper surface of the lower bottom plate 2 for storing fine sand. Different marks are formed on the four groups of sand storage cups 14, and the mark types include any one or more of colors, numbers, letters, and patterns, facilitating multiple participants to distinguish their own sand storage cups 14. A middle partition plate 4 is fixed above the lower box body 3. An upper box body 5 is fixed above the middle partition plate 4. Upper operation holes 8 are formed on the four side walls of the upper box body 5, facilitating the operator to insert the arm into the upper box body 5 for operation. An upper panel 6 is fixed above the upper box body 5. An electronic scale 9 is fixedly connected to the center of the upper surface of the upper panel 6 through a detachable connection for weighing the weight of the fine sand in the sand storage cup 14. Four groups of sand injection holes 19 are formed on the middle partition plate 4, facilitating the pouring of fine sand into the lower box body 3. A partition plate 23 is fixed between the middle partition plate 4 and the upper panel 6. The partition plate 23 divides the inner cavity of the upper box body 5 into four congruent cavities, preventing the fine sand of different participants from being mixed together. The four groups of sand injection holes 19 are respectively located in the four cavities. At least four sand pouring openings 10 are formed on the upper panel 6, and the four sand pouring openings 10 respectively correspond to the four cavities in the upper box body 5, facilitating the participants to pour the fine sand into the upper box body 5.

[0027] In this embodiment, a boss 18 is formed on the upper surface of the middle partition plate 4 at the position of the sand injection hole 19. The sand injection hole 19 penetrates through the boss 18 and the middle partition plate 4, preventing the fine sand from directly falling into the lower box body 3 through the sand injection hole 19 when pouring the fine sand into the upper box body 5. A diversion pipe 20 is fixed on the lower surface of the middle partition plate 4 corresponding to the position of the sand injection hole 19 for guiding the flow of the fine sand and ensuring the accurate outflow of the fine sand. A baffle 21 is fixed at the edge of the boss 18, and the upper surface of the baffle 21 is higher than the upper surface of the boss 18, preventing the fine sand on the boss 18 from falling back onto the middle partition plate 4.

[0028] In this embodiment, four upper sand discharge holes 16 are formed on the middle partition plate 4, and the four upper sand discharge holes 16 are respectively located in the four cavities inside the upper box body 5, facilitating the cleaning of the fine sand in the upper box body 5 after the game. A sealing gate plate 17 is fixed on the lower surface of the middle partition plate 4 corresponding to the position of the upper sand discharge hole 16 through a pin shaft, preventing the fine sand from directly falling from the upper box body 5 into the lower box body 3 during the game.

[0029] In this embodiment, a positioning protrusion 13 is formed on the upper surface of the lower bottom plate 2 at the position corresponding to the sand injection hole 19. The lower end of the sand storage cup 14 covers the positioning protrusion 13, facilitating the operator to determine the placement position of the sand storage cup 14 through the positioning protrusion 13, thereby accurately receiving the fine sand that drops from the corresponding sand injection hole 19.

[0030] In this embodiment, a blocking mechanism 15 is fixedly installed at a position on the inner wall of the lower box body 3 corresponding to the lower operation hole 7, and a blocking mechanism 15 is fixedly installed at a position on the inner wall of the upper box body 5 corresponding to the upper operation hole 8. The blocking mechanism 15 includes a fixedly installed fixing pin 151 and a limiting ring 157. The fixing pin 151 and the limiting ring 157 are fixed on the inner walls of the lower box body 3 and the upper box body 5. A blocking bar 152 is rotatably installed on the fixing pin 151. A connecting ring 153 that is fitted and installed with the fixing pin 151 is formed on one side of the blocking bar 152. One end of the blocking bar 152 is fixed to a connecting rod 154 through a pin shaft. A steel wire rope 155 is fixed to one end of the connecting rod 154 close to the limiting ring 157. A pulling rope 158 is fixed to the end of the steel wire rope 155 away from the connecting rod 154. The steel wire rope 155 and the pulling rope 158 pass through the limiting ring 157. A compression spring 156 is nested outside the steel wire rope 155. The compression spring 156 is located between the connecting rod 154 and the limiting ring 157. By controlling the rotation of the blocking bar 152, the blocking bar 152 can block the lower operation hole 7 and the upper operation hole 8 when not in use, preventing the arm from entering. When playing the game, after pulling the pulling rope 158, the blocking bar 152 can be driven away from the operation hole, and the arm can enter.

[0031] In this embodiment, electric heating plates 22 are arranged inside the lower box body 3 and the upper box body 5. The heating temperature of the electric heating plates 22 does not exceed 50 degrees. After the electric heating plates 22 are powered on, they can generate heat to increase the temperature inside the lower box body 3 and the upper box body 5, ensuring that the temperature inside the lower box body 3 and the upper box body 5 is at a suitable temperature (25 - 28 °C), and improving the comfort during the game.

[0032] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: When playing the game, two, three, or four people can choose to play together. Each participant is assigned 10 sand storage cups 14 with sand pouring openings 10 in the lower box body 3. The capacities of all the sand storage cups 14 are the same, all being 50 grams. The sand storage cups 14 are filled with fine sand for the game. The participant pours the fine sand in their own sand storage cup 14 into their own cavity through the sand pouring opening 10, and then puts the empty sand storage cup 14 into the lower box body 3, ensuring that the lower box body 3 is located below the sand injection hole 19. Then, the timing starts. Within the specified time, the participant's hands can pass through the upper operation hole 8 to send the fine sand in the upper box body 5 to the position of the sand injection hole 19, so that the fine sand passes through the sand injection hole 19 and the diversion pipe 20 and then falls into the corresponding sand storage cup 14. Or the hand can pass through the lower operation hole 7 and enter the lower box body 3 to move their own or other people's sand storage cups 14, changing their positions and disrupting the layout of other participants, so as to ensure that their own sand storage cup 14 can receive the maximum amount of fine sand, while reducing the amount of fine sand collected by other participants. During this process, the participant can observe the actions, expressions, etc. of other participants to guess the other party's operations, and thus change their own strategies. Finally, the winner and loser are determined by the amount of fine sand stored in the sand storage cups 14 owned by the participants.

[0033] The circuit connection involved in the present invention is a conventional means adopted by those skilled in the art and can obtain technical inspiration through a limited number of experiments, belonging to the widely used prior art.

[0034] The components not described in detail in this article are prior art.

[0035] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
