Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of table football accessories technology, and in particular to an automatic magnetic abacus scoring device for table football. Background Technology

[0002] Table football, as an indoor and outdoor recreational sport that combines entertainment and competition, is widely used in homes, bars, playgrounds, and other settings. Its scoring device is a core component ensuring the fairness and convenience of the game. Currently, existing table football scoring systems mainly fall into two categories, each with significant technical shortcomings that fail to meet users' actual needs, as detailed below: The first type is the manual bead-operated scorer. This type of scorer has a simple structure, mainly consisting of a base, a track, and beads. Users need to manually move the beads after a goal to complete the score. Its core drawback is that during the game, users are focused on the competitive operation, which easily leads to missed or incorrect scores, especially in multi-player games or high-speed goal scenarios, resulting in extremely poor scoring accuracy. At the same time, the manual bead-operating operation is cumbersome, interrupting the rhythm of the game and affecting the user's entertainment experience. In addition, the beads have no positioning structure and are easily loosened and displaced due to collisions and vibrations, leading to scoring errors.

[0003] The second type is the electronic score counter. This type of score counter uses sensors (such as infrared sensors or pressure sensors) to trigger electronic counting, enabling automatic scoring and solving the tedious problem of manual scoring. However, the sensors of electronic score counters are prone to accidental touches, leading to inaccurate counting. Furthermore, the display screen has poor readability in bright light, and after long-term use, the screen is prone to aging and unclear display.

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides an automatic magnetic abacus scoring device for table football. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic magnetic abacus scoring device for table football.

[0006] The above-mentioned technical objective of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solution: An automatic magnetic bead scoring device for tabletop soccer includes mounting bases, beads, and guide rails installed at both ends of a table. The table has feet at its bottom. The guide rails are fixedly mounted on two mounting bases at both ends. Multiple beads are mounted on the guide rails. Each bead has a solid magnetic counterweight with a density greater than the bead's material at its bottom. The table body below the guide rails has multiple equally spaced, linearly arranged mounting cavities. Each mounting cavity contains a coil, with the number of coils exceeding the number of beads. Each coil has a conductive mechanism directly below it. Each coil is connected in series to a power circuit through a conductive mechanism. The multiple conductive mechanisms are arranged in a stepped configuration. Inclined grooves are provided on the side walls at the midpoint between the conductive mechanism and the coil. The sliding plate is made of stainless steel, and its sides have grooves... The sliding block is connected by a sliding groove. The number of sliding plates is equal to the number of beads. The horizontal projection width of each sliding plate is equal to the width of the beads. The horizontal projection length of the groove is equal to the length of the guide rail. Multiple sliding plates form a middle slide. The front end of the middle slide is connected to the goal through an inclined upper slide, and the rear end of the middle slide is connected to the ball retrieval groove through an inclined lower slide. A reset mechanism is provided on the right side of the guide rail and the middle slide to move the beads and sliding plates to the leftmost position. When the beads and sliding plates are at the leftmost position, there is a corresponding sliding plate directly below each bead. At this time, there is a coil below the middle position of every two beads. When the football rolls on the conduction mechanism, the weight of the football causes the conduction mechanism to conduct the circuit of the corresponding coil, so that the coil generates a magnetic field that attracts the corresponding bead and the corresponding sliding plate to move.

[0007] Furthermore, the conducting mechanism includes a conducting plate, a return spring, an upper conductive contact, and a lower conductive contact. The bottom of the conducting plate is connected to the table body via the return spring, and the bottom end of the return spring is located in the spring mounting groove of the table body. Each conducting plate has an upper conductive contact on each side of its bottom, and the two upper conductive contacts are connected by a wire. Two lower conductive contacts are provided on the table body below each conducting plate, and the two lower conductive contacts are connected to the power circuit where the coil is located directly above it. The height of the subsequent conducting plate of two adjacent conducting mechanisms is lower than or equal to the height of the preceding conducting plate when the coil is connected to the circuit.

[0008] Furthermore, the reset mechanism includes a reset ring, a reset lever, an upper reset rod, a slide groove, and a lower reset rod. The reset ring is connected to the reset lever via the upper reset rod. The mounting base on the left side has a reset groove for receiving the reset ring. The upper reset rod passes through a through hole on the mounting base on the left side. The lower reset rod has an L-shaped structure. The upper end of the lower reset rod is connected to the reset lever, the middle end is located in the slide groove, and the end is inserted into the reset push groove. By pushing the reset lever, both the abacus and the slide can be pushed to the left side for reset.

[0009] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the slide is set to a range of 5-10°. The tilt angle of the slide should not be too large or too small. If it is too large, the slide plate will automatically slide down relative to the slide due to its own weight.

[0010] Furthermore, the number of coils is 2-5 more than the number of beads. The specific arrangement of the coils can be based on the length of the guide rail to ensure that they can completely cover the bottom of the guide rail.

[0011] Furthermore, each bead has a number plate on top, with the numbers on the plate starting from the smallest number 1 on the counting side and increasing sequentially. The number of goals can be read intuitively from the numbers on the plate.

[0012] Furthermore, each conductor plate has four symmetrically arranged return springs at its bottom to improve the stability of the conductor plate's up-and-down movement.

[0013] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: By designing a magnetic bead and coil structure, the present invention triggers the coil circuit to conduct through the rolling of the ball, thereby generating a magnetic force that attracts the magnetic bead and the sliding plate to move. The magnetic bead and the sliding plate move together with the football to the right, realizing the bead technology, which solves the problems of manual bead scoring devices being easy to forget to count and electronic scoring devices being easy to accidentally touch.

[0015] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0016] like Figure 1-6 As shown, an automatic magnetic bead scoring device for table football includes mounting bases 3, beads 4, and guide rails 5 installed at both ends of a table body 2. The bottom of the table body 2 has feet 1, meaning two magnetic bead scoring devices are installed at both ends of the table football. The guide rails 5 are fixedly mounted on two mounting bases 3 at both ends. Multiple beads 4 are mounted on the guide rails 5. The number of beads 4 can be set to nine or ten. Each bead 4 has a solid magnetic counterweight 19 with a density greater than the material of the bead 4 at its bottom. Due to gravity, the part of the bead 4 with the magnetic counterweight 19 is always at the bottom. The table body 2 below the guide rails 5 has multiple equally spaced, linearly arranged mounting cavities 20. Each mounting cavity 20 contains a coil 6. The number of coils 6 is greater than the number of beads 4. A conducting mechanism 10 is located directly below it. Each coil 6 is connected in series to a power circuit through a conducting mechanism 10. Multiple conducting mechanisms 10 are arranged in a stepped manner. The soccer ball 7 rolls downwards on the stepped conducting mechanisms 10. The two side walls at the middle position between the conducting mechanism 10 and the coil 6 are provided with inclined grooves 9. The sliding plate 8 is made of stainless steel. The two sides of the sliding plate 8 are provided with sliders 28 that are slidably connected to the grooves 9. The number of sliding plates 8 is equal to the number of beads 4. The horizontal projection width of each sliding plate 8 is equal to the width of the beads 4. The horizontal projection length of the slide 9 is set to be equal to the length of the guide rail 5. Multiple sliding plates 8 form a middle slide. The front end of the middle slide is connected to the goal 26 via an inclined upper slide 11, and the rear end is connected to the ball-collecting groove 12 via an inclined lower slide 18. A reset mechanism is provided on the right side of the guide rail 5 and the middle slide to move the beads 4 and sliding plates 8 to the leftmost position. When the beads 4 and sliding plates 8 are at the leftmost position, a sliding plate 8 is correspondingly distributed directly below each bead 4. At this time, a coil 6 is located below the middle position of every two beads 4. (Football 7) As the soccer ball 7 rolls on the conduction mechanism 10, its weight causes the conduction mechanism 10 to activate the circuit of the corresponding coil 6, causing the coil 6 to generate a magnetic field that attracts the corresponding abacus 4 and the corresponding slide plate 8. When the soccer ball 7 rolls to the end of the conduction mechanism 10, the corresponding abacus 4 and the corresponding slide plate 8 move to the rightmost side of the guide rail 5 and the slide 9 after the coil 6 is activated one by one. At this time, the count of the abacus 4 is incremented by one, and the empty position at the end of the middle slide moves forward by the distance of one slide plate 8. That is, after the next goal, the soccer ball 7 will fall onto the previous conduction mechanism 10 at the position of one slide plate 8 in advance.

[0017] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the conducting mechanism 10 includes a conducting plate 21, a return spring 22, an upper conductive contact 23, and a lower conductive contact 24. The bottom of the conducting plate 21 is connected to the table body 2 via the return spring 22. The bottom end of the return spring 22 is located in the spring mounting groove 25 of the table body 2. Each conducting plate 21 has an upper conductive contact 23 on each side of its bottom. The two upper conductive contacts 23 are connected by a wire. Each conducting plate 21 has two lower conductive contacts 24 on the table body 2 below it. The two lower conductive contacts 24 are connected to the power circuit where the coil 6 is located directly above it. The height of the subsequent conducting plate 21 of two adjacent conducting mechanisms 10 is lower than or equal to the height of the preceding conducting plate 21 when the coil 6 is connected to the circuit, ensuring that the soccer ball 7 can roll down along the conducting mechanism 10 one by one.

[0018] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the reset mechanism includes a reset ring 13, a reset lever 14, an upper reset rod 15, a slide groove 16, and a lower reset rod 17. The reset ring 13 is connected to the reset lever 14 via the upper reset rod 15. The mounting base 3 on the left side has a reset groove for receiving the reset ring 13. The upper reset rod 15 passes through a through hole on the mounting base 3 on the left side. The lower reset rod 17 has an L-shaped structure. The upper end of the lower reset rod 17 is connected to the reset lever 14, the middle end is located in the slide groove 16, and the end is inserted into the reset push groove. By pushing the reset lever 14, the abacus 4 and the slide plate 8 can be pushed to the left side for reset.

[0019] Furthermore, the tilt angle of the slide 9 is set to a range of 5-10°. The tilt angle of the slide 9 should not be too large or too small. If it is too large, the slide plate 8 will automatically slide down relative to the slide 9 due to its own weight.

[0020] Furthermore, the number of coils 6 is 2-5 more than the number of beads 4. Specifically, the position of the coils 6 can be arranged according to the length of the guide rail 5 to ensure that they can completely cover the bottom of the guide rail 5.

[0021] Furthermore, each bead 4 has a number plate 27 on top. The numbers on the number plate 27 start from the smallest number 1 on the counting side and increase sequentially. The number of goals can be read intuitively through the numbers on the number plate 27.

[0022] Furthermore, each conductor plate 21 is provided with four symmetrically arranged return springs 22 at its bottom, the purpose of which is to improve the stability of the conductor plate 21 moving up and down.

[0023] Working principle: The counter moves the reset ring 13 and the lower reset lever 17 by moving the reset lever 14, which pushes the abacus beads 4 and the slide plate 8 to the leftmost position to reset. When a goal is scored, the football 7 slides from the goal 26 along the upper slide plate 11 into the middle slide plate formed by the slide plates 8. It slides along the middle slide plate to the end and falls onto the lower conduction mechanism 10. The weight of the football 7 causes the conduction mechanism 10 to compress the reset spring 22, which turns on the power circuit of the corresponding coil 6 above it. The coil 6 attracts the abacus beads on the upper and lower diagonal front sides. The magnetic field of the moving beads 4 and slide plate 8, as the soccer ball 7 rolls, causes the coil 6 to be turned on one by one. The beads 4 and slide plate 8 move with it until the soccer ball enters the slide track 18 from the end of the conduction mechanism 10 and finally slides down to the ball retrieval slot 12. At the same time, the beads 4 are moved to the rightmost side of the guide rail 5 to increment the count. The empty position at the end of the middle slide track moves forward by the distance of one slide plate 8. That is, after the next goal, the soccer ball 7 will fall onto the previous conduction mechanism 10 one slide plate 8 position in advance, thereby attracting the next beads 4 and slide plate 8 to move.

[0024] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
