Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of amusement equipment, in particular to a ball placing device for balance of a balance. Background Art

[0002] Amusement parks are places suitable for children aged 3 - 12 to play. Usually, there are various children's amusement equipment such as pirate ships, bumper cars, spinning coasters, carousel horses, undulating trains, time chariots, track trains, two-way hydraulic flying saucers, laser chariots, self-controlled flying saucers, spinning little bees, etc. A new generation of children's activity centers integrating functions such as amusement, exercise, intelligence development, and fitness are formed through scientific combinations.

[0003] As times progress, the basic amusement facilities in amusement parks are also constantly innovating. In amusement equipment that scores by collecting balls, a ball placing device is needed that can temporarily hold several small balls and determine whether to release the balls and the release direction of the balls according to the weight of the collected small balls. As Figure 1 shown, currently, this kind of ball placing device mainly adopts a structure similar to a balance. Small balls can be thrown into the balance collection box, and the balance collection box maintains a balanced state through the tensile force generated by spring stretching. When the balance collection box breaks the balanced state, the small balls will be released from a certain direction of the balance collection box. However, since the spring is always in a stretched state, when the balance collection box releases the small balls, it often happens that only a small number of small balls are released and then the balance state is restored again, resulting in incomplete release of the small balls and affecting the game experience. At the same time, since the small balls collected on the balance collection box will roll, the small balls are prone to accumulate on one side, and the initial slope of the balance collection box determines the release direction of the small balls, resulting in a single release direction of the ball placing device and greatly reducing the playing experience effect of the game equipment. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a ball placing device for balance of a balance aiming at the deficiencies of the prior art, which can accommodate the small balls collected by two players separately on both sides, and at the same time can judge the release direction and release timing according to the weight difference of the small balls collected by both sides, and can completely release all the small balls collected by the device at one time during release, so as to solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0031] Such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown in the figure, the present utility model provides a balance ball - placing device for a balance, which includes a bracket 1. A balance device 2 is movably installed on the bracket 1. The balance device 2 includes a balance collection box 21 for collecting small balls. The balance collection box 21 can rotate around the bracket 1. At the same time, the two ends of the balance collection box 21 are preferably inclined plates that are inclined upward and outward. When the balance collection box 21 is in an unbalanced state, the inclined plates can guide the release of the small balls. A ball - blocking inclined plate 22 is also installed in the middle of the balance collection box 21. The ball - blocking inclined plate 22 is preferably in an inverted V - shaped structure, which can separate the small balls in the balance collection box 21 and divide them into two areas, avoiding the situation where all the small balls accumulate and the release direction of the small balls is single. This enables the balance collection box 21 of the present utility model to have two changeable release directions, increasing the fairness of the game.

[0032] Meanwhile, a spring 3 is connected to the lower part of the balance device 2 in this embodiment. The other end of the spring 3 is connected to a driving device 4. The driving device 4 is used to control the stretching length of the spring 3 and keep the spring 3 in an initial stretched state to maintain the initial balance state of the balance collection box 21.

[0033] Specifically, the balance device 2 in this embodiment further includes a rotating - shaft fixing frame 23 installed below the balance collection box 21. A rotating shaft 24 is fixedly installed in the rotating - shaft fixing frame 23. The two ends of the rotating shaft 24 are movably connected to the bracket 1. A connecting plate 25 is arranged below the rotating - shaft fixing frame 23, and one end of the connecting plate 25 is connected to the spring 3.

[0034] Preferably, an angle sensor 5 is further arranged on one side of the bracket 1 in this embodiment. The angle sensor 5 is connected to one end of the rotating shaft 24. When the balance collection box 21 tilts to one side, the rotating shaft 24 will rotate following the balance collection box 21. Therefore, the tilt angle of the balance collection box 21 can be monitored through the angle sensor 5 to judge the release timing and release direction of the small balls.

[0035] Specifically, the driving device 4 in this embodiment includes a driving motor 41 installed on the bracket 1. The output shaft of the driving motor 41 is connected to a motor rotating rod 42. A rotating - rod fixing piece 43 is also arranged between the motor rotating rod 42 and the driving motor 41, and one end of the motor rotating rod 42 is connected to the spring 3. The driving motor 41 can drive the motor rotating rod 42 to rotate, thereby controlling the stretching length of the spring 3 on the motor rotating rod 42. By changing the stretching length of the spring 3, the balance force provided by the spring 3 for the balance collection box 21 can be indirectly controlled, so that the balance collection box 21 can completely release the small balls at one time, optimizing the game experience.

[0036] The angle sensor 5 and the driving motor 41 in this embodiment are both electrically connected to an external controller. The external controller can receive the angle information detected by the angle sensor 5 and control the opening and closing of the driving motor 41 according to this angle information.

[0037] Specifically, the bracket 1 of this embodiment includes a bottom plate 11. Balance brackets 12 are installed at both ends of the bottom plate 11. Both ends of the rotating shaft 24 are movably connected to the balance brackets 12 respectively, and a snap spring 26 is clamped at one end of the rotating shaft 24, and the snap spring 26 is close to the inner side of the balance bracket 12.

[0038] The working principle of the present utility model:

[0039] As Figure 2 shown, initially, there is no small ball in the balance collection box 21, and the lower end of the spring 3 is on the same horizontal line as the center of the motor rotating rod 42. At this time, the spring 3 is stretched between the two connection points, and the balance collection box 21 maintains the balance of the device through the pulling force generated by the stretching of the spring 3;

[0040] When the small ball falls into the balance collection box 21, the ball blocking inclined plate 22 will separate the small balls into two areas. The gravity generated by the small balls will cause the balance collection box 21 to tilt, and the tilting direction of the balance collection box 21 will be determined by the number of small balls on both sides of the ball blocking inclined plate 22; at the same time, when the balance collection box 21 tilts, it will drive the connecting plate 25 below the rotating shaft fixing frame 23 to move obliquely upward. Since the position of the motor rotating rod 42 remains unchanged at this time, the deformation degree of the spring 3 will increase, so as to generate a greater pulling force to maintain the balance of the balance collection box 21. At this time, the device enters an unbalanced state; as the balance collection box 21 tilts, the rotating shaft 24 will also rotate accordingly. After the angle sensor 5 senses the rotation of the rotating shaft 24, it will send a signal to the external controller, so that the external controller can perceive the tilting state of the balance collection box 21;

[0041] As Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, when the balance collection box 21 reaches the set tilting degree for releasing the small balls, the external controller will control the driving motor 41 to rotate, thereby driving the motor rotating rod 42 to rotate 90°, so that the lower end of the spring 3 is directly above the center of the motor rotating rod 42. At this time, the spring 3 will contract, and the pulling force it provides cannot maintain the balance of the balance collection box 21. The device enters an unbalanced state, and the balance collection box 21 tilts greatly due to the loss of the balance force and maintains this action for about 2 seconds, so that the small balls have enough time to slide out completely from the tilting direction of the balance collection box 21. After 2 seconds, the motor rotating rod 42 rotates back to its original position, the balance collection box 21 resumes balance, and the device enters the balanced state again.

[0042] It should be noted that the above specific embodiments are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and the applied technical principles. Those skilled in the art should understand that various modifications, equivalent substitutions, changes, etc. can also be made to the present utility model. However, as long as these transformations do not depart from the spirit of the present utility model, they should be within the protection scope of the present utility model. In addition, some terms used in the specification and claims of this application are not restrictive, but are only for the convenience of description.
