Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of gashapon machines, and in particular relates to a digitally controlled ball-discharging device for gashapon machines. Background Art

[0002] At present, large shopping malls or supermarkets are usually accompanied by commercial game machines, such as claw machines, gashapon machines, etc. Gashapon machines are usually the ball-dispensing devices of shopping mall game equipment. The current reward method of the ball-dispensing device is usually in the form of blind boxes. Gifts are packaged in balls to form blind boxes. The game form of gashapon machines usually adopts the method of coin-operated ball dispensing or the method of point reward ball dispensing. The number of rewarded balls is set by the machine, so the number of balls dispensing is strictly controlled to avoid the occurrence of insufficient or excessive balls, or stuck and no balls dispensing, or slow ball dispensing speed.

[0003] The Chinese utility model patent with patent number 201420785308.7 discloses a ball discharging device, including a cylinder, a bottom plate arranged at the bottom of the cylinder, a ball tray located in the cylinder and above the bottom plate for placing balls, a ball blocking mechanism fixed on the side wall of the cylinder and located above the ball tray, and a motor, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the ball tray, at least one first through hole is arranged on the circumference of the ball tray with the output shaft of the motor as the center, a second through hole is arranged on the bottom plate, the first through hole and the second through hole are located on the circumference of the same radius, the ball blocking mechanism is located directly above the second through hole, the gap between the ball blocking mechanism and the ball tray is smaller than the diameter of the ball, the diameter of the ball is larger than the distance between the bottom plate and the ball tray and smaller than the distance between the bottom plate and the ball blocking mechanism, the ball blocking mechanism is a pyramid-shaped block, the block has an inclined surface, and the block is installed with its inclined surface facing upward. Although the above-mentioned ball-discharging device can realize random ball discharging and only one ball is discharged each time, it mainly realizes only one ball is discharged each time through a pyramid-shaped ball-blocking mechanism. It is not difficult to find from the instruction manual that the above-mentioned ball discharging is carried out when the ball disc is rotating, that is, the ball is blocked by the pyramid-shaped ball-blocking mechanism during the rotation of the ball disc to realize only one ball is discharged each time. In this way, the ball will be squeezed with the ball-blocking mechanism during the rotation of the ball disc.

In addition, the terms "first", "second", etc. are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first", "second", etc. may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be directly connected, or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood by specific circumstances.

[0038] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 9 , please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The utility model provides a digital ball discharging device for a gashapon machine, comprising a base 1, a ball bucket 2, a ball passing channel 3, a turntable 4, a turntable driving mechanism 5, a turntable transmission mechanism 6 and a ball lane limiting mechanism 7. The ball bucket 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1 by screws, the turntable 4 is arranged in the ball bucket 2, the turntable driving mechanism 5 is arranged in the base 1, the turntable 4 is connected to the output shaft 51 of the turntable driving mechanism 5, and the turntable driving mechanism 5 drives the turntable 4 to rotate in the ball bucket 2;

[0039] At least one ball hole 8 is arranged on the circumference of the turntable 4 with the output shaft 51 of the turntable driving mechanism 5 as the center. The ball hole 8 can only accommodate one ball at a time and can rotate with the turntable 4. Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, two goal holes 8 are provided, and the two goal holes 8 are located on the circumference of the same diameter of the turntable 4; please refer to Figure 8 and Fig. 9 A ball outlet hole 9 is correspondingly arranged between the base 1 and the ball bucket 2. The goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 are located on a circumference of the same radius. A ball passing channel 3 is arranged in the base 1 and connected with the ball outlet hole 9. The reward ball 10 in the ball bucket 2 can fall from the ball bucket 2 into the goal hole 8 as the turntable 4 rotates. When the goal hole 8 coincides with the ball outlet hole 9, it falls into the ball passing channel 3 in the ball outlet hole 9, and finally the ball is discharged from the ball passing channel 3.

[0040] Among them, the ball passage 3 can be a straight tube channel, or it can be configured as an arc channel or a bent channel, which can guide the output of the reward ball 10. The ball bucket 2 can be fixedly connected to the base, or it can be configured as a movable type. As long as the relative movement between the turntable 4 and the reward ball 10 is achieved, the reward ball 10 can enter the goal hole 8 of the turntable 4 with a certain probability. The goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 are located on the circumference of the same radius, that is, on the channel formed by the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9. In the process of reciprocating interlacing and overlapping, closure and opening occur, and the output control of the reward ball 10 can be achieved. In this way, when the turntable 4 is rotated, the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 can achieve cyclic reciprocating interlacing and overlapping on the circumference of the same radius. In other embodiments, when the turntable 4 is reciprocated in a straight line or reciprocated according to a predetermined trajectory to form a trajectory, arranging the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 on the trajectory line is also equivalent to arranging the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 on the circumference of the same radius.

[0041] Please refer to Figures 3 to 7 , the turntable transmission mechanism 6 is arranged on the turntable 4, the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 is arranged in the ball passing channel 3, and the turntable 4 is connected with the turntable transmission mechanism 6 and the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 in transmission; the working principle of the utility model is: the turntable driving mechanism 5 drives the turntable 4 to rotate, and the rotation of the turntable 4 drives the turntable transmission mechanism 6 and the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 to drive, so that the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 invades or moves away from the ball passing channel 3, specifically, when the turntable 4 rotates, the reward ball 10 falls into the goal hole 8, please refer to the attached Figure 8 , when the turntable 4 rotates to make the goal hole 8 gradually approach the edge of the ball outlet hole 9 until they overlap, the reward ball 10 in the goal hole 8 falls into the ball passing channel 3 in the ball outlet hole 9. At this time, the turntable 4 drives the turntable transmission mechanism 6 to drive the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 to invade the ball passing channel 3 to limit the reward ball 10 above the ball passing channel 3, blocking the reward ball 10 from passing through the ball passing channel 3. At this time, the reward ball 10 falls into the ball passing channel 3 and still does not come out. It should be noted that when the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 invades the ball passing channel 3, a ball just falls above the ball passing channel 3. At this time, the goal hole 8 is in a ball-free state, and the ball in the ball bucket 2 can fall into the goal hole 8. The ball above the ball passing channel 3 is supported, and the reward ball 10 in the ball hole can still rotate with the turntable 4; please refer to the attached Fig. 9 , when the turntable 4 rotates, the edge of the goal hole 8 gradually moves away from the edge of the ball outlet hole 9 until it is misaligned. At this time, there is already a bonus ball 10 above the ball passing channel 3. The rotation of the turntable 4 drives the turntable transmission mechanism 6 to drive the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 away from the ball passing channel 3 to release the restriction and allow the bonus ball 10 to pass through. The bonus ball 10 above the ball passing channel 3 is discharged from the ball passing channel 3. It should be noted that at this time, due to the misalignment of the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9, the turntable non-hole shielding area K1 in the turntable 4 will cover the ball outlet hole 9 of the ball bucket 2, and no ball will fall into the ball passing channel 3, ensuring that the balls are discharged randomly each time and only one ball is discharged each time.

[0042] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 8 and 9 , and also includes an infrared radiation sensor 11 and a control circuit 12. The infrared radiation sensor 11 is arranged in the ball passing channel 3. The infrared radiation sensor 11 is electrically connected to the control circuit 12 and the turntable driving mechanism 5. The infrared radiation sensor 11, the control circuit 12 and the turntable driving mechanism 5 work together. When the radiation light source of the infrared radiation sensor 11 captures the passing of the reward ball 10, a pulse signal is returned to the control circuit 12 to control the turntable driving mechanism 5 to stop working, that is, the turntable 4 stops working after each ball is released to ensure that only one ball is released each time.

[0043] Example:

[0044] Please refer to Attachments 3 to 7. In this embodiment, the turntable transmission mechanism 6 includes an annular cam lifting track 61, a guide ball 62 and a transmission iron sheet 63. The annular cam lifting track 61 is concentrically arranged in the turntable 4. The guide ball 62 is arranged in the annular cam lifting track 61 and is slidably connected to the annular cam lifting track 61. One end of the transmission iron sheet 63 is fixedly connected to the guide ball 62, and the other end is fixedly connected to the ball track limiting mechanism 7. The annular cam lifting track 61 is provided with a highest point H1 of the slide groove and a lowest point H2 of the slide groove. The highest point H1 of the slide groove is set at the center connecting line of the two goal holes 8 and the annular cam lifting track 6 1, the lowest point H2 of the slide is set at the intersection of the vertical line of the center connection line of the two ball holes 8 and the annular cam lifting track 61; in the present embodiment, the annular cam lifting track 61 is composed of a cam slide upper cover 611 and a cam slide lower cover 612, and the cam slide upper cover 611 and the cam slide lower cover 612 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 4; in the present embodiment, the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 includes a lifting baffle 71, and a lifting slide 72 slidably connected to the lifting baffle 71 is provided in the base 1, and the lifting slide 72 is communicated with the ball passing channel 3, and the lifting baffle 71 is fixedly connected to the transmission iron sheet 63 by screws.

[0045] It should be noted that the working process of the turntable transmission mechanism 6 and the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 in this embodiment is as follows:

[0046] Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 7 The rotation of the turntable 4 causes the annular cam lifting track 61 to move synchronously. The guide ball 62, the transmission iron sheet 63 and the lifting baffle 71 remain stationary in the horizontal direction and only rise and fall in the vertical direction along with the annular cam lifting track 61. There is a smooth track transition between the highest point H1 of the slide groove and the lowest point H2 of the slide groove of the annular cam lifting track 61 to form a closed loop. When the guide ball 62 moves to the highest point, it drives the transmission iron sheet 63 and the lifting baffle 71 to rise to the highest position of the ball passing channel 3. When the guide ball 62 moves to the lowest point, it drives the transmission iron sheet 63 and the lifting baffle 71 to drop to the lowest position of the ball passing channel 3.

[0047] The specific working process is as follows: Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 9 The turntable 4 rotates to make the reward ball 10 in the ball bucket 2 fall into the goal hole 8 randomly. When the turntable driving mechanism 5 drives the turntable 4 to continue to rotate, the guide ball 62 moves to the highest point H1 of the slide groove of the annular cam lifting track 61. Please refer to the attached Figure 8 , the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 coincide with each other, and the reward ball 10 in the goal hole 8 falls into the ball passage 3 of the ball outlet hole 9. At the same time, the guide ball 62 drives the transmission iron sheet 63 and then drives the lifting baffle 71 as shown in FIG. Figure 8 The ball 62 moves up to the highest position in the ball passage 3 in the direction of the middle arrow. At this time, the size of the clamp formed by the lifting baffle 71 and the turning point of the ball passage 3 is smaller than the diameter of the reward ball 10, thereby blocking the reward ball 10 from passing through. At this time, since the reward ball 10 in the goal hole 8 falls into the upper part of the ball passage 3 and is in a ball-free state, the goal hole 8 can fall into and accommodate another reward ball 10 as the turntable 4 rotates. When the turntable 4 rotates to make the guide ball 62 continue to move to the lowest point H2 of the slide groove of the annular cam lifting track 61, please refer to the attached figure. Fig. 9 , the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 are misaligned. At this time, the hole-free area in the turntable 4 will cover the ball outlet hole 9 of the ball bucket 2. The goal hole 8 in the turntable 4 can only accommodate one ball and is in the turntable 4 and will not fall into the ball passage 3. At the same time, the guide ball 62 drives the transmission iron sheet 63 and the lifting baffle 71 as shown in the attached figure Fig. 9 It drops in the direction of the arrow to the outside of the ball passing channel 3. At this time, there is no obstruction in the ball passing channel 3. The clamping size of the lifting baffle 71 and the ball passing channel 3 is larger than the diameter of the reward ball 10, thereby allowing the reward ball 10 to pass through. When the reward ball 10 passes through, the reflected light source of the infrared reflected sensor 11 captures the passing of the reward ball 10, and returns the pulse signal to the control circuit 12 to control the turntable drive mechanism 5 to stop working, that is, the turntable 4 stops working after each ball is released to ensure that only one ball is released each time, and waits for the device to obtain instructions such as coin insertion, and then drives the above working process in the cycle.

[0048] It should be noted that the utility model is provided with two goal holes 8 in the ball disc, and correspondingly, the annular cam lifting track 61 of the turntable 4 is provided with two highest points H1 of the slide groove and the lowest point H2 of the slide groove, while only one ball outlet hole 9 is provided. With the ball outlet hole 9 as a reference, it is ensured that each goal hole 8 can work independently to form a complete closed loop for ball entry and exit after the turntable 4 makes one circular motion.

[0049] In this embodiment, the lifting baffle 71 is provided with an interchangeable piece 73, which is fixed on the lifting baffle 71 and can be adjusted left and right to adjust the width of the clamping gap between the lifting baffle 71 and the ball passing channel 3. The interchangeable piece 73 can be used to configure the amount of extension of the lifting baffle 71 into the ball passing channel 3 to adapt to balls of different diameters. By configuring, it can adapt to reward balls 10 of three diameters of 40mm / 45mm / 50mm. After configuration, no further adjustment is required, and it can directly adapt to balls of three specifications, so that one bucket can control the output of balls of different diameters, and one bucket can be used for multiple purposes with strong adaptability.

[0050] In this embodiment, the turntable drive mechanism 5 includes a motor gearbox 52, a hexagonal transmission output shaft 51 and a hexagonal connecting seat 53. The motor gearbox 52 is transmission-connected to the hexagonal transmission output shaft 51. The hexagonal connecting seat 53 is arranged at the center of the turntable 4 and is fixedly connected to the hexagonal transmission output shaft 51. The motor gearbox 52 drives the hexagonal transmission output shaft 51 and the hexagonal connecting seat 53 to move, thereby driving the turntable 4 to move synchronously.

[0051] In this embodiment, the control circuit 12 is disposed on the ball passage 3 so as to optimize the space configuration.

[0052] In this embodiment, a cap 13 is further provided on the turntable 4 , which makes the turntable 4 more beautiful and prevents the bonus ball 10 from falling into the middle of the turntable 4 .

[0053] It should also be noted that the above embodiment is only an optimal embodiment of the turntable transmission mechanism 6 and the ball lane limiting mechanism 7. In other embodiments, the turntable transmission mechanism 6 can also be an induction switch, that is, when the turntable 4 rotates to the point where the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 coincide, the induction switch senses and gives an electrical signal so that the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 invades the ball passage 3 to block the bonus ball 10. When the turntable 4 rotates to the point where the goal hole 8 and the ball outlet hole 9 are misaligned, the electrical signal at the middle end of the induction switch causes the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 to move away from the ball passage 3 to exit the ball passage 3 to allow the bonus ball 10 to pass through. The linkage structure of the turntable transmission mechanism 6 and the ball lane limiting mechanism 7 with the turntable 4 realized by the above concept is still within the conceptual scope of the present invention.

[0054] Through the above structure, the utility model can achieve random ball output and accurate ball output, and there is no ball distribution baffle in the ball plate. When the turntable 4 moves, the reward ball 10 will not be squeezed by the baffle, and the reward ball 10 is not easy to be damaged, which has the characteristic of accurate ball control.

[0055] The present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments. If various modifications or variations of the present invention do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present invention, and if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and equivalent technologies, the present invention also includes these modifications and variations.
