[0021] 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 in 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.
[0022] like Figure 1-6 The utility model provides a structural device for automatically returning items from an outlet of a claw machine to a warehouse, comprising a baffle 10 and a driving mechanism.
[0023] The baffle 10 is used to support the items dropped into the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20. It should be understood that the lower part of the baffle 10 is the output channel, and the items in the outlet 201 can be directly discharged through the output channel.
[0024] Preferably, one end of the baffle 10 is rotatably disposed in the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20 . It should be understood that the baffle 10 is rotatably disposed in the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20. Therefore, when the baffle 10 is horizontally disposed in the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20, the baffle 10 separates the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20, so that the outlet 201 is separated from the output channel. At this time, the baffle 10 supports the items dropped into the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20; when the baffle 10 is rotated downward so that the baffle 10 and the inner wall of the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20 are in the same vertical direction, the outlet 201 is connected to the output channel, and the items in the outlet 201 can be directly discharged through the output channel; when the baffle 10 is rotated upward so that the baffle 10 is vertically disposed above the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20, at this time, the baffle 10 returns the items in the baffle 10 to the inner cavity of the claw machine 20 (i.e., the grabbing bin), and the items are recycled (such as item recycling after points redemption), which has strong interactivity.
[0025] It is worth noting that the downward rotation (i.e., discharging the items through the output channel) or upward rotation (i.e., returning the items to the grabbing bin of the claw machine 20) of the baffle 10 is determined according to actual needs, and the specific situation depends on the actual situation, which will not be elaborated here.
[0026] Furthermore, a receiving groove 101 is provided on the top surface of the baffle 10 so that the items dropped into the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20 are placed in the receiving groove 101 , wherein the other end of the baffle 10 is provided with an inclined surface 102 to facilitate the rapid pouring out of the items in the baffle 10 .
[0027] The driving mechanism is disposed in the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20 .
[0028] In this embodiment, one end of the baffle 10 is connected to the driving mechanism to drive the baffle 10 to rotate. In other words, the driving mechanism can drive the baffle 10 to be horizontally arranged, to rotate downward, and to rotate upward.
[0029] Furthermore, the structural device for automatically returning the items at the outlet of the claw machine further includes a lifting mechanism, wherein the lifting mechanism is arranged in the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20, and is used to drive the driving mechanism to rise and fall. It should be understood that the lifting mechanism drives the driving mechanism to rise and fall, and also drives the baffle 10 to rise and fall.
[0030] It is worth noting that the outer edge of the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20 is surrounded by a transparent glass plate. Under normal circumstances, the baffle 10 is horizontally arranged at the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20. When an item falls on the baffle 10 and needs to be discharged, the driving mechanism controls the baffle 10 to rotate downward, so that the item on the baffle 10 is discharged into the output channel to discharge the item. When the item needs to be returned to the inner cavity (i.e., the grabbing bin) of the claw machine 20, the lifting mechanism drives the driving mechanism to rise, so as to drive the horizontally arranged baffle 10 to rise to the top of the transparent glass plate, and then drives the baffle 10 to rotate upward through the driving mechanism to return the item in the baffle 10 to the grabbing bin of the claw machine 20.
[0031] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a connecting member 120, a first support bar 121, a second support bar 122 and a rotating shaft 123, wherein the first support bar 121 is arranged at one end of the connecting member 120, the second support bar 122 is arranged at the other end of the connecting member 120, and the rotating shaft 123 is rotatably arranged between the top end of the first support bar 121 and the top end of the second support bar 122.

[0034] In this embodiment, the rotating shaft 123 is connected to one end of the baffle 10, so as to drive the baffle 10 to rotate through the rotating shaft 123. It should be understood that the first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122 are arranged in parallel and symmetrically, and when the rotating shaft 123 drives the baffle 10 to rotate, the baffle 10 rotates along the top of the first support bar 121 and the top of the second support bar 122, that is, the baffle 10 can rotate from one side of the first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122 to the other side of the first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122.
[0035] Furthermore, the driving mechanism also includes a first driving motor 124, wherein the first driving motor 124 is arranged in the connecting member 120, and a first synchronous wheel 1233 is arranged at one end of the rotating shaft 123, and the rotating shaft of the first driving motor 124 is provided with a second synchronous wheel 1241, and a synchronous belt 125 is arranged around the first synchronous wheel 1233 and the second synchronous wheel 1241, so that when the first driving motor 124 rotates, the synchronous belt 125 is driven to rotate by the second synchronous wheel 1241, and the synchronous belt 125 drives the first synchronous wheel 1233 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating shaft 123 to rotate.
[0036] It should be understood that the first synchronous wheel 1233 and the second synchronous wheel 1241 of this embodiment are serrated with the synchronous belt 125 .
[0037] Preferably, a receiving hole is provided in the first support bar 121 along its length direction, one end of the rotating shaft 123 passes through the side wall of the first support bar 121 and is located in the receiving hole, the rotating shaft of the first drive motor 124 passes through the side wall of the first support bar 121 and is located in the receiving hole, and the first synchronous wheel 1233, the second synchronous wheel 1241 and the synchronous belt 125 are all located in the receiving hole.
[0038] Furthermore, at least one reinforcing rib 1221 is disposed between the first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122 , so as to further strengthen the connection between the first support bar 121 and the second support bar 122 .
[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a carrying plate 131 , a rack 132 , a first sliding rod 133 , a second sliding rod 134 and a second driving motor 135 .
[0040] The supporting plate 131 is disposed on the inner wall of the outlet 201 of the claw machine 20 .
[0041] The rack 132 is disposed on the supporting plate 131 along the vertical direction.
