DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0022] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0023] Introduction: In order to provide users with a better experience when exchanging or purchasing items at the vending machine 102, the gaming machine 101 is recessed here so that music, lighting and other effects can surround the user.

[0024] Embodiment 1:

[0025] like Figure 1-Figure 6As shown, a connection device for a vending machine and a gaming machine includes a connection assembly, one end of the connection assembly is connected to the vending machine 102, and the other end is connected to the gaming machine 101, the connection assembly includes a plurality of connection rods 111, the connection rods 111 are fixedly connected to the vending machine 102, the connection rods 111 are rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 104, the rotating shaft 104 is rotatably connected to a first slide bar 108, the first slide bar 108 is slidably connected to the gaming machine 101, the vending machine 102 is opened and closed by rotating the rotating shaft 104, and the vending machine 102 is moved laterally by pushing and pulling the first slide bar 108.

[0026] First, the first sliding rod 108 is used to push the rotating shaft 104 so that the rotating shaft 104 drives the vending machine 102 to translate as a whole through the connecting rod 111 , and then the rotating shaft 104 is rotated so that the rotating shaft 104 drives the vending machine 102 to rotate as a whole through the connecting rod 111 . By first moving the vending machine 102 as a whole out of the game machine 101 and then rotating the vending machine 102, the problem of the storage bin 103 being blocked by the game machine 101 when the vending machine 102 rotates can be effectively prevented. The longer the vending machine 102 moves, the larger the length of the storage bin 103 can be set, so that more items can be stored in the storage bin 103, reducing the frequency of personnel replenishing items from the game machine 101 to the storage bin 103; at the same time, it also ensures that when the vending machine 102 is opened, the rotation angle will not be too small due to the limit of the game machine 101. If the rotation angle of the vending machine 102 is too small, the storage bin 103 will block the transportation of external materials into the game machine 101, thereby achieving the purpose of not blocking the transportation of external items into the game machine 101.

[0027] Embodiment 2:

[0028] like Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the first slide bar 108 is rotatably connected to the drive shaft 117, the drive shaft 117 is fixedly connected to the second gear 109, and the connecting rod 111 is fixedly connected to the third gear 110, the third gear 110 is meshed with the second gear 109, and the number of teeth of the second gear 109 is less than the number of teeth of the third gear 110. By setting the number of teeth of the second gear 109 and the third gear 110, the torque of the driving shaft 104 is reduced, which is more labor-saving.

[0029] like Figure 4-Figure 5As shown, the driving shaft 117 is fixedly connected to the push-pull rod 116, the game machine 101 is slidably connected to the rack 107, the rack 107 is fixedly connected to the pin 115, the pin 115 is slidably connected to the push-pull rod 116, the game machine 101 is fixedly connected to the motor 105, the motor 105 is fixedly connected to the first gear 106, and the first gear 106 is meshed with the rack 107. The motor 105 drives the first gear 106, and the first gear 106 drives the rack 107, so that the pin 115 slides on the push-pull rod 116 and pushes the push-pull rod 116 to rotate, and the rotation of the push-pull rod 116 drives the driving shaft 117 to rotate the second gear 109, thereby rotating the rotating shaft 104.

[0030] Through the above arrangement, the motor 105 is used to realize the fast and accurate rotation opening and closing of the vending machine 102 .

[0031] like Figure 6 As shown, the rotating shaft 104 is rotatably connected to the second slide bar 112, and the second slide bar 112 is slidably connected to the game machine 101. The second slide bar 112 is fixedly connected to the process disk 114, and the process disk 114 is fixedly connected with the first arc plate 121 and the second arc plate 122. The vending machine 102 is rotatably connected to the roller 120, and the roller 120 slides on the first arc plate 121 and the second arc plate 122.

[0032] When the motor 105 is started so that the first gear 106 drives the rack 107 to push out the pin 115, since the roller 120 is at the bottom of the second arc plate 122, it is difficult for the roller 120 to roll upward under the action of the weight of the vending machine 102. Therefore, the pin 115 will cause the push-pull rod 116 to drive the first slide bar 108 to translate, that is, there is no relative movement between the pin 115 and the push-pull rod 116. The translation of the first slide bar 108 enables the vending machine 102 to drive the storage bin 103 to translate out of the game machine 101 as a whole, ensuring that the storage bin 103 will not touch the game machine 101 during the removal process. , so that the rotating shaft 104 cannot continue to be ejected. With the continuous displacement of the rack 107, the push-pull rod 116 begins to rotate, and the pin 115 begins to slide on the push-pull rod 116. The rotation of the push-pull rod 116 causes the second gear 109 to drive the third gear 110 to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation and opening of the vending machine 102. At the same time, the roller 120 begins to overcome the weight of the vending machine 102 and slide upward on the second arc plate 122, that is, the third gear 110 also slides on the second gear 109. After the roller 120 slides onto the first arc plate 121, the roller 120 continues to roll smoothly. At this time, the vending machine 102 will not produce longitudinal displacement and will only rotate and open.

[0033] By providing the first arc plate 121 and the second arc plate 122, the vending machine 102 can be driven to translate and rotate in sequence by a single power source, thereby simplifying the opening process.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, the first arc plate 121 is fixedly connected to the first limit block 118, and the second arc plate 122 is fixedly connected to the second limit block 119. Through the above arrangement, the roller 120 can be prevented from excessively moving on the first arc plate 121 and the second arc plate 122, ensuring that the vending machine 102 does not collide with the game machine 101 when it is opened and closed.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, the second slide bar 112 is fixedly connected with a tension spring 113, and the tension spring 113 is fixedly connected to the game machine 101. Since the tension spring 113 always has a force to pull the second slide bar 112, the process plate 114 is always subjected to a force to be pushed out. When the motor 105 is reversed, since the process plate 114 is subjected to the force of the tension spring 113, the pin 115 first drives the push-pull rod 116 to rotate, so that the vending machine 102 rotates and resets. When the vending machine 102 rotates and resets, the roller 120 starts to slide on the first arc plate 121 and the second arc plate 122 in sequence. When the roller 120 slides on the first arc plate 121, the motor 105 provides the vending machine 102 with a force to be pushed out. 2, when the roller 120 slides onto the second arc plate 122, due to the inclined surface of the second arc plate 122, the motor 105 provides resistance so that the vending machine 102 does not rotate too fast, until the roller 120 moves to the second limit block 119. At this time, the rotation and reset of the vending machine 102 are completed. Due to the obstruction of the second limit block 119, the push-pull rod 116 cannot continue to rotate, so the pin 115 starts to pull the push-pull rod 116, so that the vending machine 102 is translated and reset as a whole, until the reset is completed.

[0036] Through the above arrangement, it can be ensured that the order of rotation and translation of the vending machine 102 when resetting is correct, thereby preventing the situation where the vending machine 102 cannot be reset or collides with the game machine 101.

[0037] Working principle: when it is necessary to open the vending machine 102 to carry external materials into the game machine 101, the motor 105 is started, and the motor 105 drives the first gear 106, so that the rack 107 pushes the pin 115. Due to the setting of the second arc plate 122, the vending machine 102 begins to move away from the game machine 101 as a whole. At this time, the tension spring 113 begins to reset. When the second slide bar 112 begins to be moved by the game machine 101, the vending machine 102 begins to rotate and begins to move slightly upward. At this time, the vending machine 102 completely exposes the opening on the game machine 101, and the storage bin 103 does not block the opening, making it more convenient for people to carry materials. After the material transfer is completed, the motor 105 is started to reverse. At this time, due to the action of the tension spring 113, the vending machine 102 first starts to rotate. After the rotation reset is completed, the pin 115 pulls the push-pull rod 116, so that the vending machine 102 starts to translate and reset until the vending machine 102 is restored.

[0038] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the present invention in any form. Any simple modification or equivalent change made to the above embodiment based on the technical essence of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
