Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of gift machines, and particularly relates to a blind box gift machine and a gift acquisition method. Background Art

[0002] As a popular entertainment device, the gift machine plays an important role in people's lives. It is an entertainment device that contains various gifts inside, and people can operate the machine to obtain gifts by inserting coins, game coins or using code scanning payment and other methods. Gift machines are widely distributed in public places such as shopping malls, supermarkets, electronic game arcades (such as video game arcades), children's playgrounds, and home entertainment centers, bringing opportunities for people to have entertainment and obtain surprise gifts.

[0003] The claw crane, a well-known amusement device among the public, has always been loved by some players. However, the limitations of its gameplay have gradually emerged. It mainly relies on players to operate the robotic arm to grab dolls. This gameplay seems simple, but in fact, the reward mechanism is too single. The operation process of players is relatively monotonous. Each game basically involves controlling the extension, grabbing and retraction of the robotic arm, and whether the doll can be successfully grabbed largely depends on the grabbing force and the accuracy of the grabbing position of the robotic arm. This gameplay lacking in variation and depth makes the game interesting limited and difficult to attract players in the long term. Moreover, its reward method is only to grab the doll, without other levels of reward settings, which easily makes players feel bored after repeated attempts and lose the motivation to continue playing. Such as the Chinese utility model patents with publication numbers CN221432119U and CN221406544U.

[0004] Traditional shooting amusement machines also have regrettable aspects. Such amusement machines attract the attention of many players with their exciting shooting experiences. During the game, players can enjoy the pleasure of hitting enemies by manipulating buttons or gamepads and shooting heartily in a virtual game scene. However, when the game ends, players can only see virtual results such as their game scores and level promotions on the screen. This design lacking effective linkage with actual prizes makes players unable to obtain actual material rewards after winning the game, greatly reducing the sense of achievement of the game. Although the game process is full of excitement, without real reward feedback, it is difficult for players to have lasting enthusiasm and loyalty for the game.

[0049] The present invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments cannot be described in detail one by one here, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments.

[0050] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a blind box gift machine, including a main box body, the main box body is composed of an upper box body 1 and a lower box body 2. The front of the upper box body 1 is provided with an openable transparent glass plate, and the transparent glass plate is configured with a locking device, which is convenient for players to directly view various gifts before the game and select their favorite targets, and is also convenient for observing the prize awarding situation during the game.

[0051] Furthermore, the side panels of the upper box body 1 can also be entirely or partially provided with transparent glass plates.

[0052] The blind box gift machine further includes:

[0053] A plurality of hanging prize awarding devices 3, fixed on the back panel of the upper box body 1, and a plurality of hangable gifts are hung on any one of the hanging prize awarding devices 3;

[0054] The prize-bearing device 4 is fixed on the bottom plate of the upper box body 1, and a plurality of blind box gifts are arranged on the prize-bearing device 4;

[0055] A control module and a display module 5 for realizing the blind box prize-winning gameplay, the display module 5 is fixed on the back panel of the upper box body 1, and the control module is electrically connected to the display module 5; wherein, the display module is a display, and the control module can be a PCB board;

[0056] The operation table 6 is electrically connected to the control module and is fixed on the lower box body 2;

[0057] The top surface of the lower box body 2 is provided with a prize outlet channel 7, the prize outlet channel 7 is arranged at the prize outlet end of the prize-bearing device 4 and is located below any one of the hanging prize devices 3;

[0058] The prize outlet channel 7 is communicated with a prize outlet 8.

[0059] Players can send instructions to the control module by operating the operation table 6 on the lower box body 2, and the control module drives the hanging prize device 3 and the prize-bearing device 4 to operate according to the instructions; through the hanging prize device 3 and the prize-bearing device 4, the integration of various prize-winning methods is realized, and the functionality of the device is improved; various gift machine gameplay can be designed by using the control module and the display module 5, and the interest of the gift machine is increased.

[0060] The blind box gift machine of the present invention realizes the diversification of functions, the convenience of operation, the simplicity of maintenance and the improvement of the appearance attraction, brings a new game experience to players, and improves the operation efficiency and economic benefits of the device.

[0061] The blind box gift machine of the present invention can be set to a single-player version, a two-player version or a multi-player version; according to different types, different operation positions and corresponding devices are set.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present invention, the gift hanging device includes a hanging assembly, a driving device 301 for driving the hanging assembly to rotate and a base;

[0063] The driving device 301 is fixed on one side of the base, and the output end of the driving device 301 passes through the base and is fixedly connected to the hanging assembly;

[0064] The hanging assembly includes a hanging rod 302 and a spiral sleeve 303 sleeved outside the hanging rod 302, and the spiral sleeve 303 is provided with a spiral gap 304.

[0065] The driving device 301 provides driving force to control the rotation of the suspension assembly. Usually, the driving device 301 can be a motor, a cylinder, etc. Preferably, a stepper motor is used as the driving device 301. With its precise pulse control, it can better control the rotation angle of the suspension assembly, ensuring that the position of the gift can be accurately controlled every time a prize is awarded, greatly improving the accuracy of awarding prizes, effectively avoiding the poor player experience caused by the deviation of the prize awarding position, thus facilitating the accurate awarding of prizes by the gift machine and enhancing the player's trust and enthusiasm for the gift machine.

[0066] The function of the suspension assembly is to suspend the gift. By sleeving the spiral sleeve 303 on the suspension rod 302, the suspension rod 302 supports the spiral sleeve 303 and the gift. After the spiral sleeve 303 and the suspension rod 302 are assembled, they are fixed to the driving device 301, simplifying the installation process and reducing the assembly difficulty, enabling the relevant staff to more efficiently complete the installation and disassembly of the suspension assembly during the production and maintenance of the gift machine.

[0067] The gift is usually suspended at the spiral gap 304 of the spiral sleeve 303. When the driving device 301 drives the suspension assembly to rotate, the gift moves along the spiral of the spiral sleeve 303 towards the end of the suspension rod 302. Among them, the size D of the spiral gap 304 is between 1 and 10 mm, usually slightly larger than the size of the suspension rope / loop and other structures of the gift, which can not only ensure the stability of the gift suspension, preventing the gift from shaking and falling due to too large a gap during rotation, but also ensure the convenience of the suspension operation, allowing the merchant to easily place the suspension part of the gift into the gap.

[0068] Furthermore, the spiral gap 304 is similar to the pitch of the thread structure. In the middle part of the spiral sleeve 303, the thread gaps are the same; while in the two ends of the spiral sleeve 303, the thread gaps are smaller, even 0 mm, which is beneficial to the connection and fixation of the spiral sleeve 303 with the suspension rod 302 and / or the output end of the driving device 301. Maintaining a consistent gap in the middle part of the spiral sleeve 303 ensures the smoothness of the gift during movement and prevents jamming or uneven speed due to changes in the gap. The smaller gap design at both ends makes the connection between the spiral sleeve 303 and the suspension rod 302 and the driving device 301 tighter and more secure, effectively preventing loosening of the connection caused by vibration, rotation and other factors during long-term use, and greatly extending the service life of the suspension assembly.

[0069] In some embodiments of the present invention, a support plate 305 is provided directly below the suspension assembly, and the minimum gap between the support plate 305 and the suspension assembly is 0 - 2 mm.

[0070] In order to place more gifts, usually, the suspension assembly is set to be relatively long, with more gifts suspended or a single gift being relatively heavy, which can easily cause the side far from the driving device 301 to droop. By providing a support plate 305 directly below the suspension assembly and using the support plate 305 to support the suspension assembly, the problem of the suspension assembly tilting due to a large number of suspended gifts or a heavy single gift can be avoided, thereby preventing the accidental slipping of gifts caused by the tilting of the suspension assembly and resulting in losses to users, and improving the stability of the gift machine.

[0071] Among them, as Figure 4 shown, the main body of the support plate is in a "U" - shaped structure, and 3051 extending outward is provided at both ends of the opening of the "U" - shaped structure.

[0072] When the end of the suspension assembly (the end far from the driving device 301) droops, it can rest on 3051. The surface of 3051 is smooth - treated to reduce friction. The included angle between the two 3051 is 80° - 110°. Preferably, 3051 is set in the tangential direction of the spiral sleeve 303.

[0073] In some embodiments of the present invention, as Figure 5 shown, the prize - delivering device 4 includes at least one prize - delivering slot. Each prize - delivering slot includes two side plates 401 perpendicular to the top surface of the lower box body 2. A push plate 402 is provided on one of the side plates 401. The push plate 402 is configured with a slide rail, and the prize - delivering can also be carried out by driving a lead screw with a motor.

[0074] The prize - delivering slot of the prize - delivering device 4 is provided with a push plate 402 and a slide rail, making the prize - delivering of blind - box gifts smoother and more accurate. The push plate 402 pushes the blind - box gifts under the guidance of the slide rail, avoiding the problems of gift jamming or inaccurate dropping positions, greatly improving the stability and reliability of prize - delivering, and ensuring that players can smoothly obtain blind - box gifts.

[0075] The side plate 401 can be designed in a semi - transparent manner, with an LED lamp built - in, making the process of blind - box prize - delivering more attractive by means of light prompts.

[0076] Among them, the push plate 402 of the prize - delivering device 4 is provided with a safety limit device, and the safety limit device is an electromagnetic lock. When the blind - box delivers a prize, the electromagnetic lock releases the safety limit.

[0077] In some embodiments of the present invention, a wire management box 403 is provided at one end of the prize - delivering device 4 far from the prize - delivering channel 7, and the connection lines of multiple loading devices are arranged in the wire management box 403.

[0078] On the one hand, the cable management box 403 makes the lines neat and orderly, making it convenient for technicians to quickly find and maintain the lines, reducing equipment failures caused by line problems and reducing maintenance costs; on the other hand, the cable management box 403 can reduce the risk of wear and tear caused by exposed cables and improve the operating stability of the equipment.

[0079] Furthermore, the wire management box 403 is located at the end of the prize outlet slot, which is convenient for maintenance personnel to quickly inspect and repair, thereby reducing equipment downtime. A counterweight block can be arranged inside the wire management box 403 to improve stability.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present invention, a gift display stand 9 for displaying hangable gifts and / or gifts in blind box gifts is also provided below the hanging prize-giving device 3, and the gift display stand 9 is fixed to the back panel of the upper box body 1.

[0081] The transparent display stand is fixed under the hanging device, which can intuitively display the gifts and blind box contents that can be hung, enhancing the transparency of players' decision-making. Players can choose their favorite targets based on the displayed gifts, which increases the pertinence and fun of the game and improves the players' gaming experience. The display stand is integrated with the back panel to save space and improve visual continuity. The display stand is made of high-strength transparent materials to ensure that the display effect of the gifts is clear and visible, and at the same time has sufficient durability to adapt to long-term use.

[0082] Among them, there can be multiple display stands, each displaying gifts or blind boxes of different levels and categories.

[0083] In some embodiments of the present invention, the prize-dispensing channel 7 is in an "L"-shaped structure, in which the horizontal portion of the "L" is used for dispensing prizes for hanging gifts, and the vertical portion is used for dispensing prizes for blind box gifts;

[0084] The prize dispensing channel 7 is provided with an inclined surface, and the bottom of the inclined surface corresponds to the object taking box of the prize dispensing port 8 .

[0085] The horizontal section is used for hanging gifts to slide down, the vertical section is used for blind box pushing, and the diversion design prevents prizes from being damaged by collision; by rationally planning the prize delivery paths for hanging gifts and blind box gifts, gravity is used to make the gifts reach the prize delivery port 8 quickly and smoothly, avoiding mutual interference when different types of gifts are delivered. Compared with the traditional single-structure prize delivery channel 7, the prize delivery efficiency is improved, the orderliness of the prize delivery process is guaranteed, and players can get prizes faster.

[0086] Furthermore, the inclined surface guides the gifts to fall naturally into the retrieval box, reducing mechanical intervention and energy consumption. The design of the inclined surface allows the gifts to slide naturally under the action of gravity, reducing dependence on mechanical devices, reducing energy consumption and maintenance costs of the equipment.

[0087] In some embodiments of the present invention, the prize outlet 8 is located directly below the operation table 6 and is provided with a movable baffle.

[0088] The prize outlet 8 is located directly below the operation table 6 and is provided with a movable baffle, which facilitates the player to obtain the prize in a timely manner after the operation. The movable baffle can not only prevent the prize from accidentally falling, but also prevent foreign objects from entering the channel; under normal circumstances, a damping hinge structure is adopted to ensure quiet and durable opening and closing, improving the user experience. The design of the movable baffle not only improves the safety of the device, but also realizes quiet opening and closing through the damping hinge structure, enhancing the user's experience.

[0089] Specifically, after the player successfully obtains the prize, the design that the prize outlet 8 is located directly below the operation table 6 enables the player to obtain the prize in the most convenient way without having to move the body significantly or change the operation posture, saving the player's time and energy. The presence of the movable baffle plays an important protective role. Usually, the movable baffle can prevent foreign objects from entering the prize outlet channel 7 and affecting the prize awarding; when awarding the prize, it can ensure that the prize accurately falls into the pick-up area and prevent the prize from accidentally falling. For example, when the player reaches out to pick up the prize, the movable baffle can block other possibly shaking gifts, ensuring that the player can smoothly get the prize they won. It has the function of facilitating the player to obtain the prize in a timely manner after the operation, and at the same time the movable baffle can prevent the prize from accidentally falling, achieving the effect of optimizing the player's prize-taking experience, ensuring the standardization of the prize-awarding process, and enhancing the player's satisfaction with the blind box vending machine.

[0090] In some embodiments of the present invention, a coin insertion device 10 is further provided on the lower box body 2, and a coin storage box 11 is correspondingly arranged inside the box body.

[0091] When the blind box vending machine is designed as a two-player version or a multi-player version, multiple coin insertion devices 10 can correspond to the same coin storage box 11 to facilitate the recycling of game coins / tokens.

[0092] In some embodiments of the present invention, the blind box vending machine further includes lockable movable wheels, and there are at least four lockable movable wheels, which are arranged at the bottom of the lower box body 2.

[0093] The bottom of the blind box vending machine is provided with lockable moving wheels, which facilitate the movement and adjustment of the device's placement position. It can be flexibly arranged in different venues or according to site requirements. Rubber wheels can be used to reduce vibration noise and adapt to different ground environments. When the placement position of the device needs to be adjusted, the staff can easily push the blind box vending machine and move it to a more suitable place. For example, in a shopping mall, the placement position can be adjusted according to the flow of people, or the layout of the device can be rearranged during site layout. When the device is moved to the designated position, by locking the moving wheels, the blind box vending machine can be firmly fixed on the ground to prevent movement or shaking during use. For example, during a shopping mall promotion event, the staff can quickly move the blind box vending machine to the event area to attract more customers to participate in the game. It has the function of conveniently moving the position of the blind box vending machine and adjusting the placement location, achieving the effect of increasing the flexibility of device use, and improving the adaptability and operation efficiency of the blind box vending machine.

[0094] In some embodiments of the present invention, a decoration 12 is provided on the top of the upper box body 1.

[0095] The decoration 12 can be various ornaments with unique shapes and bright colors, such as cartoon images, flashing colored lights, etc. The decoration 12 can greatly beautify the appearance of the blind box vending machine and make it stand out among many devices. For example, in the game area of a shopping mall, the exquisite decoration 12 can attract the attention of passing customers and make them more likely to notice the blind box vending machine. At the same time, the decoration 12 can also create a unique game atmosphere and bring a more pleasant game experience to players. For example, the flashing colored lights can increase the fun and mystery of the game and make players feel more fun during the game. It has the function of beautifying the appearance of the blind box vending machine and enhancing the attractiveness of the device, achieving the effect of creating a better game atmosphere and attracting more players to participate in the game, thereby improving the commercial competitiveness of the blind box vending machine.

[0096] According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method for obtaining gifts from a blind box vending machine as described in any one of the above technical solutions, including the following steps:

[0097] Receive the moving signal sent by the operation console 6, and the cursor on the display module 5 completes the movement based on the moving signal;

[0098] Receive the confirmation signal sent by the operation console 6 and determine whether the cursor on the display module 5 is in the target area;

[0099] If so, determine whether the number of times the prize corresponding to the target area is hit reaches the preset number of times;

[0100] If so, confirm the award and determine whether all the gift types corresponding to the grade of the prize have been collected by the player;

[0101] If so, the player will randomly draw the next level reward; if not, the hanging prize-dispensing device 3 with the corresponding hangable gift will be controlled to rotate and dispense the prize; when all the gift types of the highest level reward are collected by the player, the prize-dispensing device 4 will be controlled to dispense the blind box gifts.

[0102] Before the player operates the blind box gift machine, the coin-operated device 10 is used to verify the game coins / representatives and activate the control module. After the control module is activated, the game interactive device (display module 5, left / right movement keys and confirmation keys on the operating console 6) is used to aim and shoot the virtual target. The virtual target is the corresponding gift; the control module and the display module 5 work together to closely combine the virtual operations of the shooting game (such as aiming and shooting) with the hardware actions (screw rotation, blind box pushing), forming a real-time feedback loop, enhancing the sense of immersion, and greatly improving the fun of the blind box gift machine.

[0103] By collecting low-level rewards, advanced rules for high-level rewards are activated, extending player participation time and increasing replay rates.

[0104] In some embodiments of the present invention, the target area is displayed on the display module 5 as: a plurality of hanging ropes for hanging gifts moving from the right side to the left side of the display module 5;

[0105] Among them, the reward levels of the hangable gifts include at least two levels, and the lower the level of the hangable gift, the larger the size of the corresponding hanging rope.

[0106] For example, the hangable gifts are set to three levels, and the hanging prize device 3 realizes the multi-layer hanging display of the gifts through the cooperation of the spiral sleeve 303 and the hanging rod 302. The three levels of hangable gifts are hung by cloth strips, ropes, and chains respectively. The lower the level of the hangable gifts, the larger the size of the hanging ropes corresponding to the hangable gifts. With the rotation control of the driving device 301, a dynamic visual attraction is formed to stimulate the players' desire to challenge. After inserting a coin, the player obtains a preset number of bullets, such as 30 times, which corresponds to 30 shooting times.

[0107] At this time, the display module 5 shows: multiple hanging ropes of gift items that can be hung moving from the right side to the left side of the display module 5 (including wide cloth strips, medium-width ropes, and narrow iron chains, corresponding to primary gifts, intermediate gifts, and high-level gifts respectively, and the above three types of gifts are all gift items that can be hung). The player controls the left / right movement buttons to move the aiming crosshair for aiming. Based on the gift item they want to obtain, they shoot the corresponding cloth strip, rope, and iron chain. Suppose they select the cloth strip, that is, the primary gift, and perform a virtual shooting action through the confirmation button. It is judged whether the cursor on the display module 5 is in the target area. If it is in the target area, it is considered a hit. Usually, the cloth strip, rope, and iron chain are provided with corresponding health bars, and the target gift item will drop only after being hit the corresponding number of times. Therefore, it is judged whether the number of times the prize corresponding to the target area is hit reaches the preset number of times. If so, the prize is confirmed, and it is judged whether all the gift item types of the level corresponding to the prize have been collected by the player. Suppose there are a total of 6 types of primary rewards. If the player has already collected 6 types, a lottery interface for intermediate gifts will pop up, and the player randomly selects an intermediate gift; similarly, if the player hits an intermediate reward and has already collected all the intermediate gifts, the player randomly selects a high-level gift; if the player hits a high-level reward and has already collected all the high-level gifts, the carrying prize device 4 is controlled to give out blind box gifts.
