[0041] See also Figure 1The present application provides a multi-round coin-scattering device, including a rotating structure 10, an opening structure 20 and a control module (not shown in the figure), wherein the rotating structure 10 includes a turntable 100, a first driving unit 110 and at least two coin-scattering modules 120. The first driving unit 110 is used to drive the turntable 100 to rotate, and the coin-scattering module 120 is arranged on the turntable 100 to move with the turntable 100. A certain number of game coins can be accommodated in the coin-scattering module 120. When a user wins a prize, the game coins in one of the coin-scattering modules 120 can be sent to the coin outlet of the user area corresponding to the winning user. There are more than two coin-scattering modules 120 on the turntable 100 at the same time, and each coin-scattering module 120 is used to output rewards. Each coin-scattering module 120 can also flexibly change its position as the turntable 100 rotates, so as to output rewards for users at different positions and flexibly replenish coins. Specifically, after the game coins in one of the coin-scattering modules 120 are scattered, if there are still users who win prizes within a short period of time, the other coin-scattering modules 120 that are still equipped with game coins can change their positions under the rotation of the turntable 100, and continue to output rewards for subsequent winning users, while the emptied coin-scattering modules 120 change their positions under the rotation of the turntable 100, and replenish coins after aligning with the coin replenishment mechanism. A multi-round coin-scattering device is responsible for at least one user location. The specific number of coin-scattering modules 120 can be determined by the number of user locations that the multi-round coin-scattering device needs to be responsible for. The more user locations it needs to be responsible for, the more coin-scattering modules 120 can be considered to be set.

[0042] Each user plays the game in his own user position, and each user position has a one-to-one corresponding opening module 200 and a first sensing module 210. The first sensing module 210 is used to output a first arrival signal when one of the coin-scattering modules 120 is aligned with the corresponding user position. The opening module 200 is used to open the coin-scattering module 120 that currently triggers the first arrival signal in the first state, and close the coin-scattering module 120 that currently triggers the first arrival signal in the second state. That is, when the coin-scattering module 120 rotates under the drive of the rotating disk 100, the first sensing module 210 of each user position can detect whether there is a coin-scattering module 120 aligned with its own user position. If there is, the first sensing module 210 will output the first arrival signal to inform the control module that there is currently a coin-scattering module 120 aligned with its own user position. If the user of the user position is a winning user, the control module can control the opening module 200 exclusive to the user position to open the coin-scattering module 120 aligned with its own user position, so that the user of the user position can be rewarded.

[0043] In this process, the control module is used to control the first drive unit 110 to work when one of the user positions wins a prize, so that the coin-scattering modules 120 on the turntable 100 rotate together, so that one of the coin-scattering modules 120 is aligned with the winning user position. After alignment, the first sensing module 210 will output the first in-place signal to the control module. Therefore, when the control module receives the first in-place signal corresponding to the user position, it can control the first drive unit 110 to stop working. And control the opening module 200 corresponding to the user position to enter the first state, so as to open the coin-scattering module 120 aligned with the winning position, and output the reward to the user. After the reward output is completed, the opening module 200 corresponding to the user position can be controlled to enter the second state.

[0044] It is worth mentioning that the above description is based on the premise that all coin-scattering modules 120 on the turntable 100 are non-empty. If there is a coin-scattering module 120 that has not been replenished in the coin-scattering module 120, the coin-scattering module 120 that is aimed at the winning user position may be empty. To solve this problem, a judgment module for judging whether the current coin-scattering module 120 is empty can be added to each user position, and the control module will control the first drive unit 110 to stop working when the first arrival signal corresponding to the user position is received and the judgment module judges that the current coin-scattering module 120 is non-empty. There are many ideas to solve this problem, as long as the coin-scattering module 120 loaded with game coins triggers the first arrival signal of the winning user position, and then controls the first drive unit 110 to stop working, and controls the opening module 200 of the winning user position to enter the first state.

[0045] The multi-round coin-scattering device sets a plurality of coin-scattering modules 120 on the turntable 100, and each coin-scattering device can be aimed at any user position under the drive of the first driving unit 110, so that each coin-scattering module 120 on the turntable 100 can be used as a prize-giving object, which solves the problem of being unable to conduct multiple rounds of prize-giving, avoids users from waiting too long, and optimizes the user experience. The control module cooperates with the first sensing module 210 and the opening module 200 to ensure that each coin-scattering module 120 aimed at the winning position can accurately output rewards to the winning user, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the reward output, and further improving the user experience.

[0046] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3, the coin distributing module 120 includes a coin loading tube 121, a guide block 122 and a force support 123. The guide block 122 is a ramp with an inclined surface, which is used to guide the game coins flowing out of the coin loading tube 121. Therefore, it is necessary to determine its installation direction in advance during design. Specifically, when the coin distributing module 120 where the guide block 122 is located triggers the first arrival signal during installation, the game coins flowing down from the inclined surface of the ramp can enter the user position. The coin loading tube 121 has upper and lower openings, and the lower opening of the coin loading tube 121 is a coin distributing port, and the cross section of the coin distributing port is parallel to the inclined surface. In this way, when the coin distributing port of the coin loading tube 121 contacts the inclined surface, the inclined surface can close the coin distributing port under the gravity of the coin loading tube 121 itself, and the game coins in the coin loading tube 121 cannot flow out, otherwise, the game coins in the coin loading tube 121 can flow down from the inclined surface. It can be seen that the opening and closing of the coin loading tube 121 is achieved by the up and down movement of the coin loading tube 121. Therefore, a fixedly connected force support 123 is provided on the coin loading tube 121 to facilitate the opening module 200 to lift or lower the coin loading tube 121 by contacting the force support 123. Specifically, the opening module 200 is used to lift the coin loading tube 121 through the force support 123 in the first state so that the coin dispensing port leaves the inclined surface, and is used to lower the coin loading tube 121 through the force support 123 in the second state so that the coin dispensing port is fitted and closed with the inclined surface. In one embodiment, in order to ensure that the game coins flowing down from the guide block 122 will not fall from the two sides of the inclined surface, but will only flow out from the bottom of the inclined surface, a partition 124 can be provided on both sides of the guide block 122.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 , the rotating structure 10 also includes a sleeve 130, and the opening structure 20 includes a main mounting column 220 and a turntable mounting frame 230. In this embodiment, the main mounting column 220 is the central support of the entire device, which provides a stable mounting axis for the entire device. The turntable 100, the sleeve 130 and other components need to be mounted on the axis so that they can rotate in an orderly manner. The turntable mounting frame 230 is mounted on the main mounting column 220 and is fixedly connected to the main mounting column 220. The turntable mounting frame 230 is the support for the entire rotating structure 10 to be installed on the main mounting column 220, which is equivalent to the mounting base of the entire rotating structure 10. Therefore, the turntable 100 will also be mounted on the main mounting column 220 and movably connected to the turntable mounting frame 230, so that the turntable 100 can rotate with the main mounting column 220 as the center. The movably connected turntable 100 and the turntable mounting frame 230 can be realized by bearings, etc. The first drive unit 110 can also be mounted on the turntable mounting frame 230. In some embodiments, the first driving unit 110 is a turntable driving motor, which drives the turntable 100 to rotate through gear transmission. Figure 1The figure shows a solution in which the first driving unit 110 drives the turntable 100 to rotate through two gears meshing with each other.

[0048] In order to facilitate the installation of each coin dispensing module 120, the rotating structure 10 in this embodiment is also provided with a sleeve 130, which is a hollow cylindrical structure, which is sleeved on the main installation column 220 and fixedly connected to the turntable 100. The side of the sleeve 130 is provided with a vertical guide groove 131 corresponding to each coin dispensing module 120, and the force support 123 extends into the interior of the sleeve 130 through the vertical guide groove to limit the movement direction of the coin loading barrel 121, so that the coin loading barrel 121 can only move in the vertical direction. The coin loading barrel 121 can be movably connected to the sleeve 130, for example, by a slider, which does not affect the movement of the coin loading barrel 121 and allows the coin loading barrel 121 to be stable on the inclined surface.

[0049] The opening module 200 includes a second drive unit 201, a transmission unit 202 and a contact unit 203. The multi-round coin-scattering device shown in the figure is for two user locations, so there are two opening modules 200. And each set of opening modules 200 has a set of second drive units 201, transmission units 202 and contact units 203. Among them, the second drive unit 201 is the power source in the opening module 200, and the transmission unit 202 transmits the power provided by the second drive unit 201 to the contact unit 203, and contacts with the force support 123 through the contact unit 203, so that the force support 123 moves in the vertical direction, and the opening module 200 can enter the first state and the second state. Specifically, one end of the transmission unit 202 is connected to the contact unit 203, and the other end of the transmission unit 202 is connected to the second drive unit 201. The second drive unit 201, transmission unit 202 and contact unit 203 form an interconnected whole with the transmission unit 202 as a bridge, and the whole serves a specific user location, so the installation position should be designed according to the corresponding user location during installation. The first set position selected by the design should be such that the second drive unit 201, under the control of the control module, can drive the contact unit 203 to move up and down through the transmission unit 202, so that it can contact the force support 123 in the coin-scattering module 120 that triggers the first arrival signal of the corresponding user location, thereby opening and closing the coin-scattering module 120 that triggers the first arrival signal of the corresponding user location. Figure 3As shown, the left side shows that when the opening module 200 enters the first state, the contact unit 203 moves upward under the drive of the second driving unit 201, and after contacting the force support 123, the coin-loading tube 121 is lifted, so that the coin-dispensing port of the coin-loading tube 121 leaves the inclined surface, and the game coins loaded therein can flow down from the inclined surface of the ramp. The right side shows that when the opening module 200 enters the second state, the contact unit 203 moves downward under the drive of the second unit, so that the force support 123 gradually descends under the cooperation of its own gravity until its coin-dispensing port contacts the inclined surface, thereby achieving the closure of the coin-dispensing port.

[0050] In one embodiment, the coin distributing module 120 includes a first photoeye trigger 125. The first photoeye trigger 125 is disposed directly below the guide block 122 and is fixedly connected to the turntable mounting frame 230. That is, each coin distributing module 120 is provided with a first photoeye trigger 125 for identifying the arrival status of the coin distributing module 120. When the first photoeye trigger 125 reaches a specific position, it can block the light emitted by the photoeye, thereby triggering an arrival signal.

[0051] The first sensing module 210 includes a first photoeye mounting frame 2101 and a first photoeye 2102. Each user location has its own corresponding first sensing module 210, and the first photoeye 2102 is used to detect whether a coin-scattering module 120 has been aligned with the corresponding user location. Specifically, the first photoeye 2102 will output a first arrival signal to the control module when the first photoeye trigger 125 is located in its own detection area. The first light eye mounting frame 2101 is an installation base added to facilitate the setting of the first light eye 2102. Its shape, height, etc. can be designed according to the relative position relationship between the turntable mounting frame 230 and the first light eye triggering component 125, so that when the first light eye 2102 is installed on the turntable mounting frame 230 through the first light eye mounting frame 2101, it is in the second set position. When the first light eye 2102 is in the second set position, each first light eye triggering component 125 will pass through the detection area of ​​the first light eye 2102 when the turntable 100 rotates. When one of the coin-scattering modules 120 is aligned with the corresponding user position, the first light eye triggering component 125 of the coin-scattering module 120 is located in the detection area of ​​the first light eye 2102. At this time, the first arrival signal emitted by the first light eye 2102 can indicate that the coin-scattering module 120 is aligned with the user position corresponding to the first light eye 2102.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The multi-round coin-scattering device further includes a second sensing module 240 , and the second sensing module 240 includes a second photocell mounting frame 2401 and a second photocell 2402 .

[0053] The second photoeye 2402 is used to detect whether the coin dispensing module 120 has been aligned with the coin replenishing mechanism. Specifically, the second photoeye 2402 will output a second arrival signal to the control module when the first photoeye triggering element 125 is located in its own detection area. The second photoeye mounting frame 2401 is a mounting base added for facilitating the installation of the second photoeye 2402. Its shape, height, etc. can be designed according to the relative position relationship between the turntable mounting frame 230 and the first photoeye trigger 125, so that when the second photoeye 2402 is installed on the turntable mounting frame 230 through the second photoeye mounting frame 2401, it is in the third setting position. When the second photoeye 2402 is in the third setting position, each first photoeye trigger 125 will pass through the detection area of ​​the second photoeye 2402 when the turntable 100 rotates. When one of the coin dispensing modules 120 is aligned with the coin replenishing mechanism, the first photoeye trigger 125 of the coin dispensing module 120 is located in the detection area of ​​the second photoeye 2402. At this time, the second arrival signal emitted by the second photoeye 2402 can indicate that the existing coin dispensing module 120 is aligned with the coin replenishing mechanism. The control module can control the coin replenishing mechanism to replenish coins according to the second arrival signal.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 3 The transmission unit 202 includes a transmission rod 2021 and a guide slider 2022. The transmission rod 2021 is installed on the main mounting column 220 through the guide slider 2022. The guide slider 2022 is used for guiding in the vertical direction. The design of the transmission rod 2021 and the guide slider 2022 allows the transmission unit 202 to stably perform linear reciprocating motion, thereby driving the contact unit 203 to accurately control the lifting and lowering of the force support 123 of the coin dispensing module 120. In some embodiments, the contact unit 203 contacts the force support 123 through the bearing, so that when the position of the coin dispensing module deviates, it will not get stuck on the contact unit, thereby causing a malfunction.

[0055] In one embodiment, the second drive unit 201 includes an opening drive motor 2011 and a crank connecting rod 2012, and the opening drive motor 2011 is used to drive the transmission unit 202 to move up and down through the crank connecting rod 2012. The rotating shaft of the opening drive motor 2011 is performing a rotational motion, but the contact unit 203 needs to perform a vertical linear motion, so the rotational motion needs to be converted into a linear motion. The crank connecting rod 2012 cooperates with the transmission unit 202 to convert the rotational motion of the opening drive motor 2011 into the linear motion required by the contact unit 203.

[0056] In one embodiment, the second driving unit 201 further includes a third light eye 2013 , a fourth light eye 2014 , and a second light eye trigger 2015 .

[0057] The second photoeye trigger 2015 is connected to the crank connecting rod 2012. The second photoeye trigger 2015 is a marker for shielding and restoring photoeye rays. The second photoeye trigger 2015 is connected to the crank connecting rod 2012, so it changes position with the movement of the crank connecting rod 2012, and the position of the crank connecting rod 2012 can determine the position of the contact unit 203. Therefore, by detecting the position of the second photoeye trigger 2015, the position of the crank connecting rod 2012 can be determined. Specifically, it is necessary to detect the position of the second photoeye trigger 2015 when the opening module 200 is in the first state, so as to determine whether the contact unit 203 has reached the upper limit, and timely control the opening drive motor 2011 to stop driving upward. It is also necessary to detect the position of the second photoeye trigger 2015 when the opening module 200 is in the second state, so as to determine whether the contact unit 203 has reached the lower limit, and timely control the opening drive motor 2011 to stop driving downward.

[0058] In order to achieve this effect, it is necessary to add a third light eye 2013 and a fourth light eye 2014. The third light eye 2013 is used to output a third arrival signal to the control module when the second light eye triggering component 2015 is located in its own detection area. The fourth light eye 2014 is used to output a fourth arrival signal to the control module when the second light eye triggering component 2015 is located in its own detection area. The third light eye 2013 and the fourth light eye 2014 both need to be set at specific positions. Among them, the third light eye 2013 needs to be installed in the fourth set position, so that when the coin-scattering module 120 that currently triggers the first arrival signal is turned on, the second light eye triggering component 2015 is located in the detection area of ​​the third light eye 2013. The fourth light eye 2014 needs to be installed in the fifth set position, so that when the coin-scattering module 120 that currently triggers the second arrival signal is turned off, the second light eye triggering component 2015 is located in the detection area of ​​the fourth light eye 2014. Figure 2 As for the crank connecting rod 2012 shown in the figure, it includes a rotating member and a connecting rod member. The rotating member is in the shape of a strip, and the middle part is connected to the rotating shaft of the opening drive motor 2011, so that the rotating member can make a circular motion. One end of the rotating member is connected to the transmission rod 2021 through the connecting rod member, and the other end is provided with a second photoeye triggering member 2015. In this structure, the third photoeye 2013 and the fourth photoeye 2014 can be respectively provided just above and just below the rotating shaft of the opening drive motor 2011.
