Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of claw machine technology, and in particular to claw machine, control method, device and electronic equipment. Background Art

[0002] Claw machines (also known as claw machines or gift machines) are a popular entertainment device, commonly found in shopping malls, arcades, and other places. Their basic structure typically includes a chassis, a transparent display window, a gripping mechanism (claw), a drive system, and a console for the player to operate. The console is the core component for user interaction and typically includes a joystick / buttons, a confirmation button (grab key), a coin / code scanning slot, a coin return slot, and possibly a display screen.

[0003] The control consoles of mainstream claw machine products currently on the market generally adopt a fixed installation structure, that is, the main frame or baseboard of the control console is rigidly and immovably fixed to a specific position on the front or side of the chassis (usually on the front lower panel of the chassis) through welding, riveting, or a large number of screws. Although this fixed structure design is simple and easy to manufacture, it brings significant difficulties and risks in the subsequent packaging and transportation of the product:

[0004] Increased Packaging Difficulty: The console, a protruding component on the chassis, has a fixed position and shape (especially with protruding structures such as joysticks and coin slots), which greatly restricts the internal space layout and filling design of the packaging box. To accommodate this fixed protrusion, the packaging box is often larger and more irregular in shape than the actual chassis itself requires. This results in increased packaging materials (such as foam and cardboard), complicated cutting, reduced packaging efficiency, and ultimately increased overall packaging costs.

[0005] High risk of transport damage: During long-distance transportation, claw machines are inevitably subject to external forces such as vibration, bumps, and squeezing. The fixed, protruding control panel becomes one of the most vulnerable "protrusions" in the entire chassis structure. Precision or fragile components on the console, such as the joystick, buttons, display, coin input / return slot, are extremely susceptible to breakage, deformation, scratching, or malfunction due to external impact. Even if the packaging box contains cushioning material, the risk of the console being subjected to impact is still much higher than the flat surface of the chassis due to its fixed position and inability to adjust or store. Transport damage not only leads to high after-sales repair or replacement costs, but also seriously affects user experience and brand reputation.

[0006] Therefore, the fixed control console design of conventional claw machine products is a key factor contributing to high packaging costs, a cumbersome packaging process, and a high rate of damage during transportation. The industry urgently needs an innovative control console structural design that can significantly reduce packaging volume, simplify the packaging process, and effectively improve the impact resistance and safety of the control console and its components during transportation, thereby reducing overall costs and improving product reliability.

[0011] The claw machine of the present application achieves rapid, reversible connection and separation of the control panel and the chassis body through a simple "mounting hole + clamping portion" mechanical structure design. The most direct and significant technical effect it brings is that it solves the difficult problem mentioned in the background art: during transportation, by disassembling the control panel (second state) and packaging it separately, damage to the control panel (especially the precision and protruding parts thereon) during transportation is effectively avoided, while simplifying packaging and reducing overall packaging and transportation costs.

[0023] The second control module is used to control at least two of the grabbing members to perform grabbing actions simultaneously when the number of coins inserted by the user is greater than or equal to the first target number of coins inserted.

[0040] The following combination Figures 1 to 6 The present invention describes a claw machine, a control method, a device, and an electronic device.

[0041] According to the embodiment of the first aspect of the present application, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the claw machine includes:

[0042] A chassis 1, wherein the side wall of the chassis 1 is formed with at least two mounting holes 11;

[0043] The control console 2 has at least two clamping portions 21, and at least two of the clamping portions 21 correspond one-to-one to at least two of the mounting holes 11. The clamping portions 21 can be clamped and engaged with the mounting holes 11 so that the control console 2 can be switched between a first state and a second state, wherein in the first state, the control console 2 is connected to the chassis 1, and in the second state, the control console 2 is detached from the chassis 1.

[0044] According to the claw machine of the embodiment of the present application, the simple mechanical structure design of "mounting hole 11 + clamping portion 21" realizes the rapid and reversible connection and separation of the control panel 2 and the main body of the chassis 1. The most direct and significant technical effect it brings is to solve the difficult problem mentioned in the background technology: during transportation, by disassembling the control panel 2 (second state) and packaging it separately, the damage of the control panel 2 (especially the precision and protruding parts thereon) during transportation is effectively avoided, while simplifying the packaging and reducing the overall packaging and transportation costs. The solution is simple and reliable in structure, easy to operate, and can be completed without complex tools.

[0045] In some examples, the main body of the claw machine chassis 1 is provided with at least two mounting holes 11 on its side wall (e.g., the side wall where the front operation panel is located). These mounting holes 11 can be circular, square, or other shapes suitable for clamping, and have a certain depth.

[0046] The console 2 includes user-operated components such as a joystick, buttons, a coin insertion / scanning slot, and a coin return slot. At least two clips 21 are located on the side of the console 2 facing the sidewall of the chassis 1 (either the back or the side). The number, position, and shape of the clips 21 correspond to the mounting holes 11 on the sidewall of the chassis 1.

[0047] It is understood that the snap-fit ​​portion 21 is designed to snap-fit ​​with the corresponding mounting hole 11. This fit allows the console 2 to switch between two states relative to the chassis 1:

[0048] First state (connected state): In this state, the engaging portion 21 of the console 2 is successfully engaged with the mounting hole 11 on the side wall of the chassis 1, so that the console 2 is stably connected and fixed to the chassis 1 and is in a position for user operation;

[0049] Second state (disengaged state): In this state, the engaging portion 21 of the console 2 is disengaged from the mounting hole 11 on the side wall of the chassis 1 , so that the console 2 can be completely separated from the chassis 1 .

[0050] It is understood that when moving from the second state to the first state (installation), the console 2 is brought close to the side wall of the chassis 1 so that the engaging portion 21 on the console 2 is roughly aligned with the mounting hole 11 on the side wall of the chassis 1. The console 2 is then pushed toward the chassis 1. During the pushing process, the engaging portion 21 enters the corresponding mounting hole 11. Due to the shape design of the engaging portion 21 and the mounting hole 11 (for example, the engaging portion 21 may have a deformable barb or flange, or the edge of the mounting hole 11 may be designed with a guide slope, but the claims do not limit the specific engaging structure, so only the result is described), the engaging portion 21 interacts with the wall of the mounting hole 11 (which may be squeezing, sliding, rotating, or simply hooking), ultimately achieving a stable engaging lock. At this point, the console 2 is in the first state and is firmly connected to the chassis 1.

[0051] To transition from the first state to the second state (disassembly), a specific unlocking action is performed. This action may vary depending on the specific design of the latching mechanism (for example, pressing a specific portion of the latching portion 21, twisting the console 2, or simply applying sufficient tension to overcome the latching force). The unlocking action is intended to release the latching lock between the latching portion 21 and the mounting hole 11. Once unlocked, the console 2 is pulled outward, removing the latching portion 21 from the mounting hole 11 and separating the console 2 from the chassis 1. At this point, the console 2 is in the second state.

[0052] It is understandable that the claw machine of the present application can switch the control panel 2 to the second state (disengaged state) when the claw machine needs to be transported, and remove it from the chassis 1. The disassembled control panel 2 and the chassis 1 body can be packaged separately and independently. The control panel 2 (especially the protruding parts such as the rocker and buttons that are vulnerable thereon) can be placed in a customized packaging material (such as a foam lining) with a protective groove to obtain a more sufficient and more fitting buffer protection, effectively avoiding deformation, fracture or functional damage caused by collisions and extrusions during transportation. The chassis 1 body after separation has a more regular shape (usually close to a rectangular body) due to the removal of the protruding part of the control panel 2, and can be packaged more compactly, reducing space waste and reducing the risk of the chassis 1 itself being bumped and damaged during transportation. Through split packaging, the probability of damage to the entire claw machine in the transportation link is significantly reduced, the intact rate of the product after arriving at the destination is improved, and then the transportation protection is significantly improved and the risk of damage is reduced.

[0053] After the console 2 and chassis 1 are separated, their respective shapes become less complex, allowing for a simpler and more standardized packaging design. This eliminates the need to design complex and bulky packaging boxes and fillers for the overall irregular structure, reducing packaging material usage (especially expensive cushioning fillers). Separate packaging allows for more efficient use of space, providing more targeted protection, and potentially reducing overall packaging volume, thereby lowering shipping costs. This, in turn, reduces packaging complexity, reducing packaging material and logistics costs.

[0054] If the console 2 malfunctions during later use, it can be quickly disassembled (in the second state) for repair or replacement without the need for complex disassembly of the entire chassis 1. If the console 2 needs to be upgraded (e.g., replacing it with a new model or a control panel with more functions), the operation of disassembling the old console 2 and installing the new one is also relatively simple.

[0055] In some examples, the specific connection method between the clamping portion 21 and the mounting hole 11 can be various, for example:

[0056] Snap-on 211 type: The end of the snap-on portion 21 has a flange or barb, and the edge of the mounting hole 11 has a corresponding slot or blocking surface. The snap-on is achieved by pressing or pushing in, and the release mechanism is released by pressing or pulling out forcefully (if the design allows) to achieve separation.

[0057] Rotary lock type: After the clamping part 21 (such as a cylinder with a bump) is inserted into the mounting hole 11, it is rotated a certain angle so that the bump is stuck under the groove on the inner wall of the chassis 1 to achieve locking; it can be unlocked and pulled out by rotating it in the opposite direction;

[0058] Slide rail lock type: The clamping portion 21 is a slider of a specific shape, which slides into the mounting hole 11 (actually a slide groove) along a specific path and is automatically or manually locked after sliding to the end point;

[0059] Latch type: the clamping portion 21 is similar to a latch head, and the mounting hole 11 is a pin hole, which is fixed with an additional locking member (such as a spring pin or a retaining spring).

[0060] In some embodiments, the clamping portion 21 includes a buckle 211, which can be clamped to the mounting hole 11. The buckle 211 cooperates with the mounting hole 11 to achieve a detachable connection between the control console 2 and the chassis 1.

[0061] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the control console 2 includes a body 212 and the buckle 211 . A first end of the buckle 211 is connected to a side wall of the body 212 , and a second end of the buckle 211 extends along a vertical direction.

[0062] It is understood that the first end (connecting end) of the clip 211 is rigidly fixed to the side wall of the main body 212 via screws or integral injection molding. The console 2 is pressed vertically downward to align the vertically extending second end of the clip 211 with the mounting hole 11 of the chassis 1. Continued downward pressure causes the second end of the clip 211 to insert into the mounting hole 11, securing the console 2. Separation is achieved by pulling the console 2 upward, allowing the second end of the clip 211 to vertically exit the mounting hole 11.

[0063] In some embodiments, the control console 2 is provided with a plurality of foolproof sockets, and the foolproof sockets are used to be electrically connected to the chassis 1 .

[0064] It is understandable that the wiring harnesses such as the power line, control line, and signal line can be connected to the foolproof socket to achieve a quick connection between the control console 2 and the chassis 1.

[0065] In some embodiments, as Figure 1 As shown, the claw machine further includes a light board 3, and the light board 3 is detachably connected to the chassis 1.

[0066] It is understandable that, during transportation, by removing the light board 3 from the chassis 1 and packaging them separately, damage to the light board 3 during transportation is effectively avoided, while packaging is simplified and overall packaging and transportation costs are reduced.

[0067] In some examples, the light board 3 is detachably connected to the chassis 1 via a quick plug.

[0068] According to an embodiment of the second aspect of the present application, Figure 4 As shown, the control method is used for a claw machine. The control method includes:

[0069] Step 101: In response to a user's input instruction, control the claw machine to be in a batch gripping mode;

[0070] It is understood that when the user triggers an input command (such as pressing the "Batch Mode" button), the main control module responds to the command and switches the claw machine from the default single-grab mode to the batch grab mode. The indicator light on the control panel 2 turns blue, indicating that the mode switch is successful.

[0071] Step 102: When the coin amount inserted by the user is greater than or equal to the first target coin amount, control at least two of the grabbing members to perform grabbing actions simultaneously.

[0072] It is understood that when a user inserts game coins (or scans a QR code to pay), the coin counting module accumulates the number of coins in real time. The main control module continuously compares the number of coins inserted with the preset first target coin number (for example, 3 coins). If the number of coins inserted is less than 3, the module remains in standby mode and the screen displays "Insert X more coins to start batch grabbing." If the number of coins inserted is ≥3, the multi-grab coordination command is triggered.

[0073] The main control module sends a synchronization signal to the drive mechanisms of all the gripping members to control at least two gripping members to perform the gripping action at the same time, such as synchronously pressing down and gripping with two claws side by side.

[0074] According to the control method of the embodiment of the present application, upon receiving a user input command, the claw machine is controlled to enter batch gripping mode in response to the user's input command. The user's coin number is then obtained and compared with a first target coin number corresponding to the batch gripping mode. When the user's coin number is greater than or equal to the first target coin number, at least two gripping members are controlled to perform a gripping action, achieving batch gripping. This breaks through the traditional single-claw single-operation logic and provides a new batch gripping experience. Users can independently select the mode to meet the advanced demand of "grabbing multiple dolls at once", which enhances the appeal of the machine.

[0075] It is understood that the mode of controlling at least two grippers simultaneously to perform a gripping action is the batch gripping mode. The mode of controlling only one gripper at a time to perform a gripping action is the single gripping mode. The number of coins required for the batch gripping mode can be set to be greater than that required for the single gripping mode, thereby providing users with a variety of experiences while also helping to increase revenue.

[0076] In some examples, the user can input instructions through the case on the claw machine, or send control instructions to the claw machine through a mobile terminal.

[0077] In some examples, if no input command from the user is received, the claw machine is controlled to be in a single gripping mode, that is, only one gripping member is controlled to perform a gripping action at a time.

[0078] In some examples, the grabbing member performing the grabbing action means that the grabbing member moves to above the designated gift / doll, then moves downward to grab the gift / doll, and then moves to the unloading port of the chassis 1 .

[0079] In some embodiments, the chassis 1 is formed with a receiving cavity and a discharge channel, the grabbing member is movably disposed in the receiving cavity, the claw machine further includes a connecting valve, and the connecting valve is disposed between the receiving cavity and the discharge channel; the control method further includes:

[0080] When it is determined that the claw machine is in the batch gripping mode, the opening value of the connecting valve is controlled to switch from a first opening value to a second opening value, wherein the second opening value is greater than the first opening value.

[0081] It can be understood that when the main control module determines that the claw machine enters the batch clamping mode (triggered by inserting ≥3 coins as mentioned above), it will synchronously generate a valve control instruction to control the opening value of the connecting valve to switch to the second opening value, thereby increasing the opening value of the connecting valve, thereby ensuring the success rate of the dolls falling into the discharge channel and ensuring the user experience.

[0082] It is understandable that when a large number of coins are inserted in batch clipping mode, if the opening value of the connecting valve does not increase, the user may feel that the success rate is low, which will affect the user's enthusiasm. Therefore, this embodiment automatically adjusts the opening value of the connecting valve to the second opening value when the claw machine is in batch clipping mode, ensuring the user's usage experience.

[0083] In some examples, the main control module sends a pulse signal to the drive motor connected to the valve, and the valve linearly adjusts from a first opening value (30%) to a second opening value (80%) within 0.5 seconds, and the effective width of the channel expands from 8 cm to 22 cm, forming a wide-mouth blanking channel.

[0084] In some embodiments, the chassis 1 is formed with a receiving cavity and a discharge channel, the grabbing member is movably disposed in the receiving cavity, and the claw machine further includes a connecting valve, which is disposed between the receiving cavity and the discharge channel; after the claw machine is controlled to be in the batch gripping mode, the control method further includes:

[0085] In response to a first selection instruction from a user, controlling the claw machine to be in a difficult mode;

[0086] When the coin amount inserted by the user is greater than or equal to the second target coin amount, controlling at least two of the grabbing members to perform a grabbing action simultaneously, wherein the first target coin amount is greater than the second target coin amount;

[0087] In the difficult mode, the connecting valve switches alternately between a first opening value and a second opening value, wherein the second opening value is greater than the first opening value.

[0088] It can be understood that when it is determined that the claw machine is in batch clamping mode, a first inquiry message is sent to the user. The first inquiry message is used to ask the user whether he needs to select the difficult mode. If a first selection instruction is received from the user in response to the first inquiry message, it means that the user wants to select the difficult mode, then the claw machine is controlled to be in the difficult mode. At this time, the opening value of the connecting valve will switch alternately between the first opening value and the second opening value.

[0089] That is to say, the batch clamping mode has two sub-modes, one is the ordinary batch clamping mode, the number of coins required is the first target coin number, and the other is the difficult mode, the number of coins required is the second target coin number.

[0090] The user's coin number is then continuously obtained. When it is determined that the user's coin number is greater than or equal to the second target coin number, at least two gripping members are controlled to simultaneously perform a gripping action. In other words, this embodiment can increase the number of modes of the claw machine to meet the different needs of users. For example, if a user wants to experience the batch gripping mode but also wants to reduce the number of coins to be inserted, the difficult mode can be selected.

[0091] It is understandable that since the opening value of the connecting valve switches alternately between the first opening value and the second opening value, the user needs to judge the clamping time by observing the opening value of the connecting valve. If the timing is wrong, the connecting valve may be at the first opening value when the grabbing part grabs the doll and moves it to the connecting valve, which may easily cause the doll to be unable to pass through the connecting valve smoothly, thereby increasing the difficulty.

[0092] In some examples, the first query information may be sent to the user through a human-computer interaction interface.

[0093] In some embodiments, the claw machine further includes a projection assembly movably disposed in the accommodating cavity, the projection assembly being configured to project onto the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity; the control method further includes:

[0094] Sending a query message to the user, wherein the query message is used to ask the user whether to enter the entertainment mode;

[0095] In response to a user's feedback instruction to the inquiry information, controlling the claw machine to be in an entertainment mode;

[0096] Controlling the projection component to start working;

[0097] Controlling the projection assembly to move along a preset trajectory;

[0098] In response to a user's operation instruction, controlling the grabbing member to perform a grabbing action;

[0099] When the grabbing member and the projection of the projection assembly coincide with each other, it is determined that the user has successfully grabbed.

[0100] It is understandable that after the user inserts a coin, the main control module pops up a query message on the screen (such as "Start the AR treasure game? [Yes / No]"). The user clicks "Yes" to generate a feedback instruction, the system switches to entertainment mode, and the traditional physical grabbing function is suspended. The main control module starts the projection component and projects a dynamic virtual target (such as running animal spots, rotating gem patterns) on the bottom wall of the cavity. The projection component is controlled to move according to a preset trajectory (such as spiral involute, random Brownian motion), and the movement speed is adjustable (1-5cm / s). The user manipulates the joystick to control the grabbing part to track the projected target and presses the grab key to send an operation instruction. The system compares the coordinates of the center point of the grabbing part with the coordinates of the center point of the projected figure in real time. When the horizontal plane distance between the two is ≤ the judgment threshold (such as 2cm), it is considered to coincide. The main control module immediately triggers success feedback (flashing lights + victory sound effects) and issues virtual rewards (such as points, discount coupons). The traditional static grabbing is then transformed into a dynamic AR interactive game, which enhances user participation. Virtual projection replaces physical dolls, saving doll procurement and replenishment costs.

[0101] In some examples, the projection component is, for example, a micro laser projector (lumens ≥ 100), integrated into a movable bracket, which is driven by a stepper motor to move along a two-dimensional guide rail on the top of the accommodating cavity, and the projection focus covers the entire area of ​​the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity.

[0102] According to the embodiment of the third aspect of the present application, the control device and the control method correspond to each other. Figure 5 As shown, the control device includes:
