Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of amusement equipment, and in particular to a barrel-type drawing device and an amusement machine thereof. Background Art

[0002] The lottery device is an important part of the points-based amusement equipment. Players get the chance to draw through the amusement equipment, and then win the grand prize through the lottery device, thereby obtaining a large number of points. The lottery device is usually a physical movement lottery method, which makes the lottery both random and fair.

[0003] One of the traditional lottery device solutions is the spike ball game device, which uses a free-falling prize ball that randomly changes its falling trajectory after passing through obstacles and finally falls into different slots. The device determines different points or rewards based on the slot it falls into. The prize ball that falls into the slot is lifted up again to the high ball outlet through the lifting mechanism. This solution configures the prize slot to be fixed, and cooperates with the randomly falling prize ball to achieve a point lottery.

[0004] In the scheme of fixed prize slots, such as the publication number CN115607942A, a lottery device and an amusement machine are disclosed, which stir the prize balls in the container so that the prize balls randomly enter the ball receiving mechanism at a high position, and then determine the points lottery according to the color of the detected prize balls. This scheme configures the prize slot to be fixed, and a multi-colored prize ball bounces randomly to achieve the lottery. In another scheme of the lottery device, such as the turntable lottery device, the prize slot is equipped on a rotating turntable, and the ball enters the turntable from a fixed position and falls into the random prize slot.

[0005] It can be seen that the current lottery devices mainly use the random falling of prize balls, the lottery method is relatively traditional, with few changes, poor viewing, and players are easily bored. At the same time, the randomly falling prize balls need to be configured with vertical or inclined surfaces that occupy a large space, which is not conducive to being combined into multi-game entertainment equipment.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to better illustrate the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate the present invention, but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1 to 6 , a drum-type drawing device according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. The drum-type drawing device at least includes a frame 10, and a first tank body 20, a rotating tank 30, and a second tank body 40 disposed on the frame 10. Specifically, the drum-type drawing device may also include a first driving mechanism 35, a recovery tank 51, a ball-serving mechanism, and a track 60.

[0029] To achieve the purpose of the present invention, in detail, the first groove body 20 is disposed at the front portion of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30. In order to guide the ball 70 to roll toward the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30, the first groove body 20 can be configured with a structure inclined toward the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30, or the first groove body 20 can be connected to the inclined guide structure to provide the ball 70 rolling toward the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30.

[0030] Specifically, the rotating drum 30 is rotatably disposed on the frame 10 about the horizontal axis, and the rotating drum 30 is provided with at least one joint 32 in a circumferential region 31 along the outer wall. There are at least two circumferential regions 31 distributed along the axial direction of the rotating drum 30 .

[0031] For example, the circumferential region 31 marked as a has three coupling parts 32 disposed thereon, and the three coupling parts 32 are disposed in the radial direction of the same rotating drum 30, so that the coupling parts 32 have a chance to approach the sphere 70 when the rotating drum 30 rotates only 1 / 3 of a circle. In order to make it easier to transport the sphere 70 coupled to the circumferential region 31 to the second tank 40, the three coupling parts 32 are disposed roughly in the middle of the circumferential region 31. Specifically, the circumferential regions 31 marked as b and c are also respectively configured with three coupling parts 32.

[0032] Among them, the circumferential area 31 can be configured into three, such as the circumferential areas 31 marked as a, b and c respectively. The circumferential areas 31 marked as a, b and c are intervals separated by the cylindrical surface of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30 from left to right. The width of the circumferential area 31 is approximately equal to or slightly larger than the width of the configured ball, which is conducive to the mutual fixation of the coupling portion 32 and the sphere 70. The width of the first groove body 20 is approximately equal to or larger than the width of the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30, so that the sphere 70 has a probability of approaching any one of the three circumferential areas 31 marked as a, b and c, and combining with any coupling portion 32 on the approaching circumferential area 31.

[0033] The number of the second slot bodies 40 is the same as the number of the circumferential regions 31. If there are three second slot bodies 40, they are also marked as a, b and c. The front end of each second slot body 40 is arranged on the rear side of each circumferential region 31 on the rotating cylinder 30 in a one-to-one correspondence. Specifically, taking the second slot body 40 marked as b as an example, the width of the second slot body 40 is approximately equal to the width of the circumferential region 31, and the middle of the front end of the second slot body 40 is roughly in the radial direction where the coupling portion 32 is located, so that the ball 70 on the coupling portion 32 of the circumferential region 31 marked as b will be transported toward the second slot body 40 marked as b. The front end of each second slot body 40 is close enough to the outer side wall of the rotating cylinder 30, so that the ball 70 on the coupling portion 32 falls into the corresponding second slot body 40, and the coupling portion 32 is separated from the ball 70. A sensing element 41 is provided on each second slot body 40 to detect whether there is a ball 70 falling in.

[0034] Among them, the coupling part 32 is used to fix with the sphere 70 on the first slot body 20 close to the circumferential area 31. To this end, the sphere 70 can be configured with iron-nickel, and the coupling part 32 can be configured with a permanent magnet, so that the sphere 70 is fixed to the coupling part 32 when it is close to the coupling part 32. Similarly, in other embodiments, the coupling part 32 can also be made of iron-nickel, and the sphere 70 is configured with a permanent magnet. In addition, the coupling part 32 can also be configured as a slot structure or a hanging basket structure, and the sphere 70 of any material can roll into the slot structure or the hanging basket structure, and be fixed to the coupling part 32, and finally transported to the corresponding second slot body 40 with the rotating cylinder 30. In addition, the coupling part 32 and the sphere 70 can also be respectively configured with Velcro, and the coupling and separation are achieved by Velcro. The coupling part 32 can also be configured as a vacuum suction nozzle to adsorb the approaching sphere 70.

[0035] refer to Figures 3 to 6The working process of the present invention is as follows. When the ball 70 is delivered to the first slot body 20, it will approach the rotating cylinder 30 under the action of the first slot body 20, and randomly roll to one of the three circumferential areas 31 marked as a, b, and c, such as the circumferential area 31 marked as b. As the rotating cylinder 30 rotates, the coupling portion 32 of the circumferential area 31 marked as b will rotate to the vicinity of the ball 70 and fix the ball 70 thereon. As the rotating cylinder 30 continues to rotate, the coupling portion 32 to which the ball 70 is fixed will rotate and approach the second slot body 40 marked as b. After contacting the second slot body 40, the ball 70 separates from the coupling portion 32, and the ball 70 falls into the second slot body 40 marked as b. As the ball 70 rolls on the second slot body 40 to the top of the detection element, the detection data will be acquired by the detected element.

[0036] It can be seen that the drum-type drawing device according to the embodiment of the present invention realizes the drawing of the sphere 70 by randomly adsorbing the sphere 70 by the rotating drum 30. The drawing process is based on physical movement, is reasonable and fair, and has a simple structure.

[0037] It can be understood that in a simple structural solution, the rotating drum 30 can be provided with two circumferential regions 31, and the second slot body 40 is also configured with two accordingly, and each circumferential region 31 can be provided with only one coupling portion 32. This solution also has the function of selecting the ball 70.

[0038] Specifically, in this embodiment, a push-up region 33 is provided between two adjacent circumferential regions 31. The push-up region 33 is also the region where the local cylindrical surface on the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30 is located. The push-up region 33 is provided with at least one protrusion 34 in the circumferential direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, two push-up regions 33 are provided, and each push-up region 33 is provided with three protrusions 34. Each protrusion 34 protrudes relative to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30, so that the sphere 70 close to the outer wall of the rotating cylinder 30 is pushed away from the rotating cylinder 30 by the protrusion 34. The push-up region 33 can provide power for the sphere 70, readjust the circumferential region 31 that may be combined, thereby increasing the randomness of the selection.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, each circumferential region 31 is provided with at least two coupling portions 32 in the axial direction, and each coupling portion 32 in the same circumferential region 31 is located in the same radial direction of the rotating cylinder 30. The protrusion 34 is located between adjacent coupling portions 32. The rotating cylinder 30 includes a cylinder body and end covers provided at both ends of the cylinder body, and a bracket is provided between the two ends. The coupling portion 32 and the protrusion 34 are respectively fixed on the bracket and pass through the cylinder body, so that the coupling portion 32 and the protrusion 34 can be installed more simply and firmly.

[0040] Specifically, in this embodiment, the drum type drawing device further includes a first driving mechanism 35, and the first driving mechanism 35 drives the end cover connected to one of them, thereby driving the rotating drum 30 to rotate more stably.

[0041] Specifically, in this embodiment, the barrel-type drawing device further includes a recovery trough 51, a ball-serving mechanism and a track 60. The recovery trough 51 is fixed to the frame 10. The rear ends of the second slots 40 are connected to the top of the recovery trough 51. An opening is provided below the recovery trough 51. The recovery trough 51 is provided with an inclined surface so that the balls 70 falling into the recovery trough 51 are guided to the opening of the recovery trough 51. The ball-serving mechanism includes a turntable 50 and a ball-serving trough 52. The turntable 50 is rotatably provided on the frame 10. The turntable 50 is provided below the opening of the recovery trough 51 and has a notch provided thereon. The ball-serving trough 52 is provided on the radial side of the turntable 50. The turntable 50 is provided with a second driving mechanism 53 so that the turntable 50 rotates to drive the balls 70 falling into the notch of the turntable 50 to the ball-serving trough 52. The front end of the track 60 is connected to the first slot 20, and the rear end of the track 60 is connected to the ball-serving trough 52. The front end of the track 60 is higher than the rear end of the track 60. During use, the ball 70 entering the second slot body 40 will be recovered by the recovery groove 51 and fixed on the gap of the rotating disk 50. When the rotating disk 50 rotates, the ball 70 rolls out from the gap, enters the track 60, and rolls into the first slot body 20 on the track 60.

[0042] In another aspect not shown in the figure, an amusement machine according to an embodiment of the present invention is provided, which includes the above-mentioned barrel-type drawing device.
