Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of game machines, in particular to a ball output device and a turntable game machine. Background Art

[0002] A conventional toy ball turntable game machine includes a housing member fixedly mounted on a frame, a plurality of ball outlets on the housing member, corresponding ball collection areas below the ball outlets, and a rotating disk disposed inside the housing member. When the rotating disk rotates, when the toy ball in the housing member falls into one of the ball collection areas through the ball outlets, the ball collection area increases a corresponding game reward or game points.

[0003] However, when there are a large number of ball outlets on the turntable, toy balls will fall from multiple ball outlets when the turntable rotates. In order not to affect the fairness and intuitiveness of the game scoring system, it is necessary to set a sensor at each ball outlet to detect the toy balls and calculate the corresponding game rewards or points.

[0004] The above arrangement complicates the structure of the ball outlet device of the turntable game machine, and the toy balls fall from multiple ball outlets at the same time, which may complicate the calculation of the game reward in the ball collection area. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model provides a ball discharging device and a turntable game machine, so as to solve the technical problem that the existing ball discharging device is provided with multiple ball discharging ports, which leads to the complication of the calculation of the game reward of the ball collecting area.

[0006] The utility model provides a ball discharging device, comprising:

[0007] Machine base;

[0008] A rotating disk, rotatably arranged on a machine base;

[0009] A shell member is rotatably arranged on the machine base, the shell member surrounds the rotating disk to store the balls, and a ball outlet is arranged on one side of the shell member;

[0010] A first driving mechanism, connected to the housing member to drive the housing member to rotate, so that the ball outlet is rotated to a corresponding position;

[0011] The second driving mechanism is connected to the rotating disk to drive the rotating disk to rotate, so that the ball is thrown out from the ball outlet.

[0012] The ball outlet device is only provided with one ball outlet. When multiple players use it, the ball outlet can be rotated to the corresponding ball collecting area by rotating the outer shell, thereby preventing balls from falling from multiple ball outlets at the same time, which would complicate the calculation of game rewards in the ball collecting area and affect the fairness and intuitiveness of the points system.

[0013] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a transmission shaft is arranged in the middle of the rotating disk, and a bearing sleeve is passed through the transmission shaft, and the bearing sleeve is fixedly installed on the machine base. The bearing sleeve is fixedly installed on the machine base to ensure that the transmission shaft can remain stable during the rotation process, while reducing the friction generated when the rotating disk rotates, thereby reducing vibration and noise, and improving the rotation efficiency and the service life of the device.

[0014] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, a third driving mechanism is also included, which is directly / indirectly connected to the transmission shaft to drive the transmission shaft to move up and down in its axial direction. This setting can dynamically adjust the height or depth of the rotating disk, thereby changing the ball trajectory and strength of the ball, increasing the diversity and challenge of the game.

[0015] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the housing is provided with a ball outlet at a certain height, and the height of the ball outlet is consistent with the displacement of the transmission shaft moving up and down. The height setting of the ball outlet is cleverly consistent with the displacement of the transmission shaft moving up and down through the third driving mechanism, which means that when the transmission shaft moves up and down in the axial direction, the rotating disk and the ball outlet thereon will also move up and down, thereby changing the height of the ball outlet relative to the rotating disk or the chassis of the housing.

[0016] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the outer shell is arranged in a groove, and a downwardly extending extension portion is provided in the middle of the outer shell for the bearing sleeve to pass through, and a machine base sleeve is passed through the extension portion, and the machine base sleeve fixes the outer shell on the machine base.

[0017] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, an inner bearing is installed and connected between the bearing sleeve and the transmission shaft, and an outer bearing is installed and connected between the machine base sleeve and the extension part. This arrangement enables the ball outlet device to have better mechanical performance and stability in the transmission and rotation links.

[0018] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the first driving mechanism includes a first gear and a second gear meshing with each other, and a first motor, the first gear is installed on the motor shaft of the first motor, and the second gear is fixedly installed on the outer peripheral surface of the extension part.

[0019] As a preferred technical solution of the present utility model, the second driving mechanism includes an annular toothed belt wound around a driving pinion and a driven pulley, and a second motor, the driving pinion is mounted on the motor shaft of the second motor, and the driven pulley is sleeved on the transmission shaft.

[0020] As a preferred technical solution of the utility model, the third driving mechanism includes a roller, an eccentric cam, and a third motor. The motor shaft of the third motor is rotatably connected to the eccentric cam. The roller is arranged below the transmission shaft, and the roller abuts against the eccentric cam. The cam mechanism has the advantages of compact structure, small space occupation, stable output, and low cost. When the third motor is started, it will drive the eccentric cam to rotate; due to its own structural characteristics, a certain point on the outer contour of the eccentric cam will show periodic up and down movement during the rotation process. This movement trajectory is the power source for driving the transmission shaft to move up and down in the axial direction; the roller is arranged below the transmission shaft and abuts against the eccentric cam. When the eccentric cam rotates, the roller will move up and down with its eccentric movement. Since the roller is connected to the transmission shaft, the movement of the roller will drive the transmission shaft to move up and down together.

[0021] Another aspect of the utility model is to provide a turntable game machine, comprising the above-mentioned ball output device.

[0022] The beneficial effects are:

[0023] The utility model is provided with only one ball outlet. When multiple players use it, the ball outlet can be rotated to the corresponding ball collection area by rotating the outer shell, so as to prevent balls from falling from multiple ball outlets at the same time, which will complicate the calculation of game rewards in the ball collection area and affect the fairness and intuitiveness of the scoring system. The height setting of the ball outlet is cleverly kept consistent with the displacement of the transmission shaft moving up and down through the third driving mechanism. When the transmission shaft moves up and down in the axial direction, the rotating disk and the ball outlet thereon will also move up and down, thereby changing the height of the ball outlet relative to the rotating disk or the bottom plate of the outer shell.
