[0029] 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.

[0030] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, a circulating conveying device for polyhedron-shaped objects according to an embodiment of the present invention. The circulating conveying device includes: a frame 10, and a turntable mechanism 20, a first push-out mechanism 30, a platform 40, a second push-out mechanism 50 and a recovery mechanism 60 arranged on the frame 10. Among them, the turntable mechanism 20 is equipped with a rotatable turntable member 21, and the turntable member 21 is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 22 distributed along the rotation circumference, and the receiving grooves 22 are used to place the polyhedron 80. The first push-out mechanism 30 is used to push the polyhedron 80 in the receiving groove 22 rotated to a preset position out of the receiving groove 22. The platform 40 is used to receive the polyhedron 80 falling from the receiving groove 22. The second push-out mechanism 50 is used to push the polyhedron 80 on the platform 40 out of the platform 40. The recovery mechanism 60 is used to receive the polyhedron 80 pushed out of the platform 40, and put the polyhedron 80 into the vacant receiving groove 22 of the turntable member 21.

[0031] It should be noted that the feature of the present invention is that, through the setting of the circulating conveying device, each receiving groove 22 on the turntable member 21 can be placed with a polyhedron 80, and the polyhedron 80 rotates with the rotation of the turntable member 21. When the turntable member 21 stops, the first ejection mechanism 30 will be actuated, so that the polyhedron 80 in the receiving groove 22 located at the preset position is pushed and falls onto the platform 40, thereby realizing the selection of one from the multiple polyhedrons 80. The polyhedron 80 rolls on the platform 40, thereby providing viewing pleasure. At the same time, the rolling of the polyhedron 80 will consume kinetic energy and finally stop on the platform 40, so that the user can see the reward mark on the polyhedron 80. After the polyhedron 80 stops on the platform 40, the second pushing mechanism 50 is actuated and pushes the polyhedron 80 to the recycling mechanism 60 outside the platform 40. The recycling mechanism 60 puts the polyhedron 80 back into the turntable 21, thereby realizing the circulation of the polyhedron 80 and the cyclic drawing of the polyhedron 80. The drawing process is easy to observe and has observational value, thereby enhancing the fun of playing the amusement machine.

[0032] It is worth noting that the platform 40 can be provided with an opening and closing door or configured to be tiltable, etc., so as to replace the second ejection mechanism 50 and realize the recovery of the polyhedron 80 on the platform 40.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the turntable 21 is annular and is disposed on the frame 10 in an inclined manner with the receiving groove 22 facing upward. The platform 40 is fixedly connected to the frame 10 in a horizontal manner and is located inside the turntable 21 in an annular shape.

[0034] Therefore, since the receiving grooves 22 of the turntable 21 are all slanted upward, the polyhedron 80 tends to slide to the bottom of the receiving groove 22, thereby preventing the polyhedron 80 from accidentally flying out of the receiving groove 22 when the turntable 21 rotates. At the same time, the platform 40 is located on the inner side of the annular turntable 21, which makes it easy for the platform 40 to receive the polyhedron 80 pushed out from the upper receiving groove 22.

[0035] In order to realize the function of the turntable mechanism 20, in this embodiment, specifically, the turntable mechanism 20 also includes a first driving wheel 25, a first driving assembly, a second driving wheel 26, a second driving assembly and a driven wheel 24. A flange 23 is provided on the outer side of the turntable member 21. The driving wheel and the driven wheel 24 are rotatably arranged on the frame 10, and respectively abut against the flange 23 of the turntable member 21, so that the turntable member 21 rotates around a circumference. The driving assembly is drivingly connected to the driving wheel. As a result, the turntable member 21 is restricted between the driving wheel and the driven wheel 24, and can only rotate around the axial direction under the drive of the driving wheel. As a result, the turntable member 21 can be rotatably arranged on the frame 10.

[0036] Furthermore, there are two driven wheels 24, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the upper side of the turntable member 21, thereby limiting the movement of the upper side of the turntable member 21. The driven wheel 24 has no power and can rotate as the turntable member 21 rotates, thereby facilitating limiting the position of the turntable member 21 without hindering the rotation of the turntable member 21. There are two first driving wheels 25, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the lower side of the turntable member 21. The first driving wheel 25 is arranged at the bottom, thereby forming a supporting effect on the turntable member 21, and making the first driving wheel 25 and the turntable member 21 more closely abutted, which is convenient for transmission. The second driving wheel 26 is arranged directly below the turntable member 21, which can also provide support and facilitate transmission.

[0037] The first driving assembly includes a first driving motor 251, a coupling 252, two first pulleys 253, two transmission belts 254, and two second pulleys 255. The first driving motor 251 is axially connected to one end of the coupling 252, and one end of the coupling 252 is axially connected to the two first pulleys 253, one of which is axially connected to the first driving wheel 25 at the lower left, and the other second pulley 255 is axially connected to the first driving wheel 25 at the lower right, one of which is connected to the first driving wheel 25 at the lower left through a transmission belt 254, and the other is connected to the first driving wheel 25 at the lower right through a transmission belt 254. The first drive motor 251 is connected to the two first pulleys 253 (253) through a plum blossom-shaped coupling 252, and the coupling 252 can withstand slippage during transmission. At the same time, the first drive wheel 25 and the first drive motor 251 are also connected through a transmission belt 254, which can also withstand slippage during transmission. The cooperation between the first drive wheel 25 and the first drive assembly can realize the accelerated movement of the turntable member 21, so that the turntable member 21 has a higher rotation speed.

[0038] The second drive assembly includes a second drive motor 261, and the shaft of the second drive motor 261 is connected to the second drive wheel 26. The second drive motor 261 and the second drive wheel 26 are rigidly connected, which is convenient for rigidly controlling the angle of the turntable member 21 during transmission, thereby facilitating controlling the angle of the turntable member 21 when the turntable member 21 decelerates.

[0039] In order to realize the function of the first ejection mechanism 30, in this embodiment, a plurality of receiving grooves 22 are evenly arranged on the circumference of the turntable member 21, and a through hole 221 is arranged at the bottom of each receiving groove 22. The first ejection mechanism 30 includes a push rod member 31 and a push rod driving assembly. The push rod member 31 can be arranged on the frame 10 to move back and forth in a straight line. The straight reciprocating movement trajectory of the push rod member 31 intersects with the circumference of the through hole 221 of each receiving groove 22, so that when the turntable member 21 stops rotating, the through hole 221 of the receiving groove 22 will overlap with the straight reciprocating movement trajectory of the push rod member 31. At the same time, when the push rod member 31 moves, it can pass through the through hole 221 of the receiving groove 22, enter the interior of the receiving groove 22, and abut against the polyhedron 80. In a preferred solution, the preset position set by the linear reciprocating movement track of the push rod 31 is located at the top of the circumference of the through hole 221 of each receiving groove 22, so that the polyhedron 80 has a higher falling height, which facilitates the rolling of the polyhedron 80. In this way, the first ejection mechanism 30 can be used to eject the polyhedron 80 in the receiving groove 22 rotated to the preset position out of the receiving groove 22.

[0040] It is worth adding that there are many ways to implement the push rod drive assembly, as long as the push rod member 31 can be reciprocated in a linear or rotating manner. In this embodiment, the push rod drive assembly includes a push rod motor 321, a first crank-connecting rod structure 322, and a push rod sensor 323. Among them, the push rod motor 321 is axially connected to the crank of the first crank-connecting rod structure 322, and the connecting rod of the first crank-connecting rod structure 322 is fixedly connected to the push rod member 31. The push rod member 31 is fixed to the frame 10 so as to be linearly movable. The push rod motor 321 rotates, and the linear reciprocating movement of the push rod member 31 is realized through the first crank-connecting rod structure 322. The push rod member 31 extends and can penetrate into the through hole 221 of the accommodating groove 22, pushing the polyhedron 80 out of the accommodating groove 22. After completion, the push rod member 31 automatically retracts to avoid hindering the rotation of the turntable. The push rod sensor 323 is used to sense the transmission state of the first crank-connecting rod structure 322, so as to control the push rod motor 321, so that each time the push rod 31 moves, it completes one extension and one retraction action.

[0041] In order to achieve the mutual cooperation between the turntable mechanism 20 and the first ejection mechanism 30, in this embodiment, the outer side of the turntable member 21 is provided with a flange 23 and a structure to be tested 231. In this embodiment, the structure to be tested 231 (231) is configured as a circular through hole provided on the flange 23. The structure to be tested 231 is provided with a plurality of structures and corresponds to each accommodating groove 22 one by one, and the turntable mechanism 20 includes a first detection component 27. The first detection component 27 is used to sense the structure to be tested 231 and control the operation of the first drive motor 251 and / or the second drive motor 261. Specifically, when the first detection component 27 senses the structure to be tested 231, the first drive motor 251 and the second drive motor 261 stop rotating, and then the first drive wheel 25 and the second drive wheel 26 are braked, and the turntable member 21 also rotates accordingly. At this time, since the structure to be tested 231 is detected, the position of the through hole 221 of the accommodating groove 22 also coincides with the moving track of the push rod 31, and the movement of the push rod 31 can pass through the through hole 221. If the first detection component 27 does not sense the structure to be tested 231, the second drive motor 261 continues to rotate until the first detection component 27 senses the next structure to be tested 231. In this way, it can be achieved that each time the turntable member 21 of the turntable mechanism 20 stops, the through hole 221 of the turntable member 21 is directly opposite to the push rod 31, and the push rod 31 of the first ejection mechanism 30 can push the polyhedron 80 in the accommodating groove 22 each time.

[0042] In order to realize the function of the second ejection mechanism 50, in this embodiment, the second ejection mechanism 50 is specifically provided with a tray-pushing member 51 and a tray-pushing driving assembly, and the tray-pushing driving assembly is drivingly connected to the tray-pushing member 51. The tray-pushing member 51 is arranged on the rear side of the platform 40 so as to be linearly reciprocatingly movable, and the tray-pushing member 51 cooperates with the platform 40 to push the polyhedron 80 located on the platform 40 out of the platform 40. The tray-pushing member 51 is provided with a second detection component 53, which is arranged at the front end of the tray-pushing member 51, and is used to sense the polyhedron 80 that has fallen off and / or the polyhedron 80 that has fallen onto the platform 40, so as to control the action of the tray-pushing member 51.

[0043] In detail, the width of the push plate member 51 and the platform 40 are roughly matched. When the push plate member 51 moves forward, the push plate member 51 can roughly cover the entire platform 40, so that the polyhedron 80 on the platform 40 can be pushed out. Baffles are provided on both sides of the platform 40 to prevent the polyhedron 80 from detaching from the platform 40 from the side. The push plate member 51 will automatically operate when the second detection component 53 detects that the polyhedron 80 has fallen. The second detection component 53 can adopt an infrared detection method, by emitting infrared rays, when the polyhedron 80 is sensed, the reflected infrared rays can be detected. In order to make the push plate member 51 move back and forth in a straight line, the push plate member 51 is set on the platform 40 through a guide rail. The push plate member 51 is also provided with a roller leg, which rolls and abuts against the platform 40, so that it moves smoothly. The platform 40 is also provided with a limit block to prevent the push plate member 51 from tilting. A push head is provided in front of the push plate to facilitate contact with the polyhedron 80. Thus, the second ejection mechanism 50 is used to eject the polyhedron 80 on the platform 40 out of the platform 40 .

[0044] It is worth adding that there are many ways to implement the push plate drive assembly, as long as the linear or rotational reciprocating movement of the push plate member 51 can be achieved. In the present embodiment, the push plate drive assembly includes a push plate motor 521, a second crank connecting rod structure 522 and a push plate sensor 523. Among them, the push plate motor 521 is axially connected to the crank of the second crank connecting rod structure 522, and the connecting rod of the second crank connecting rod structure 522 is fixedly connected to the push plate member 51. The push plate member 51 is fixed to the frame 10 in a linearly movable manner. The push plate motor 521 rotates, and the linear reciprocating movement of the push plate member 51 is achieved through the second crank connecting rod structure 522. The push plate member 51 extends out to cover the entire platform 40, pushing the polyhedron 80 away from the platform 40, and the push plate member 51 automatically retracts after completion to avoid hindering the polyhedron 80 from falling into the platform 40. The push plate sensor 523 is used to sense the transmission state of the second crank-connecting rod structure 522, so as to control the push plate motor 521, so that each time the push plate member 521 moves, it completes one extension and one retraction action.

[0045] In order to realize the function of the recovery mechanism 60, in this embodiment, the recovery mechanism 60 includes a recovery hopper 61, a recovery box 62, a guide rail 63 and a blade assembly. The recovery hopper 61 is arranged at the front side of the platform 40, the recovery box 62 is arranged below the recovery hopper 61, the upper port of the recovery hopper 61 cooperates with the edge of the platform 40 to receive the polyhedron 80, and the lower port of the recovery hopper matches the guide rail 63 to facilitate the polyhedron 80 to roll in the guide direction.

[0046] The guide rail 63 is arranged in a V shape, facing the turntable 21 and obliquely disposed inside the recovery box body 62 to guide the polyhedron 80 to a preset position distributed circumferentially in the receiving groove 22, so that the polyhedron 80 is able to fall into the receiving groove 22 at the bottom of the turntable 21.

[0047] The blade assembly includes a blade member 64, which is disposed on the recovery box body 62. Two blade members 64 are provided, and the two blade members 64 are fixed on a rotating shaft and rotate with the rotation of the rotating shaft. The rotation area of ​​the blade member 64 extends to the top of the guide rail 63 to move the polyhedron 80 in the recovery box body 62, so that the multiple polyhedrons 80 in the recovery box body 62 are stuck to each other. During operation, the blade member 64 rotates counterclockwise, so that the polyhedron 80 moves over the loose area of ​​the recovery box body 62, thereby avoiding getting stuck.

[0048] The circulating conveying device for a polyhedron-shaped object of the present embodiment further includes an identification mechanism 70. The polyhedron 80 is provided with information to be identified, and the identification mechanism 70 is used to obtain the information to be identified of the polyhedron 80 located on the platform 40. Specifically, an RFID tag is provided inside the polyhedron 80. The identification mechanism 70 is configured as an RFID reading module, and the identification mechanism 70 is provided below the platform 40 and performs a reading action toward the platform 40.

[0049] In an application example of this embodiment, the polyhedron 80 can represent different integrals, such as 20, 50, 100, etc. The RFID reading module can read the RFID tag of the polyhedron 80 pushed onto the platform 40, thereby determining the integral represented by the RFID tag.

[0050] In other application examples of this embodiment, the identification mechanism 70 can also be a camera recognition module. The polyhedron 80 can be configured as a regular hexahedron. Different information can be printed on each surface of the polyhedron 80, such as ×1, ×2, ×3, ×4, ×5, ×6. The camera recognition module can identify the upward side of the polyhedron 80 pushed onto the platform 40, thereby obtaining.
