Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of gashapon machines, and more specifically, relates to a ball output and number control mechanism for a gashapon machine. Background Art

[0002] Currently, in large shopping malls or supermarkets, there are usually commercial gaming machines, such as claw machines, gashapon machines, etc. A gashapon machine is usually the ball output device of the mall gaming equipment. The current reward method of the ball output device usually adopts the form of a blind box. The gift is packaged in a ball to form a blind box. The gaming form of the gashapon machine usually adopts the method of coin - operated ball output or the method of point - reward ball output. The number of rewarded balls is set by the machine. Therefore, the number of balls output is strictly controlled to avoid phenomena such as fewer balls output, more balls output, jamming and no balls output, or slow ball output speed.

[0003] Chinese utility model patent with the patent number 201420785308.7 discloses a ball output device, which includes a cylinder, a bottom plate arranged at the bottom of the cylinder, a ball tray located inside the cylinder and above the bottom plate for placing balls, a ball blocking mechanism fixed on the side wall of the cylinder and above the ball tray, and a motor. The output shaft of the motor is connected to the ball tray. At least one first through - hole is arranged on the circumference of the ball tray centered on the output shaft of the motor. A second through - hole is arranged on the bottom plate. The first through - hole and the second through - hole are located on the same circumferential radius. The ball blocking mechanism is located directly above the second through - hole. The gap between the ball blocking mechanism and the ball tray is smaller than the diameter of the ball. The diameter of the ball is greater than the distance between the bottom plate and the ball tray and smaller than the distance between the bottom plate and the ball blocking mechanism. The ball blocking mechanism is a pyramid - shaped block, and the block has an inclined surface, and the block is installed with its inclined surface facing upwards.

[0004] For the above - mentioned ball output device, although it can achieve random ball output and only one ball is output each time, it mainly realizes only one ball output each time through the pyramid - shaped ball blocking mechanism. It is not difficult to find from the specification that the above - mentioned ball output is carried out when the ball tray rotates, that is, the ball uses the pyramid - shaped ball blocking mechanism to block the ball during the rotation of the ball tray to achieve only one ball output each time. Using this method will cause the ball to be squeezed by the ball blocking mechanism during the rotation of the ball tray. Frequent squeezing will cause damage to the rewarded ball and affect the experience of consumers.

[0039] Embodiment:

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1 to 9 Specifically refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The present utility model provides a ball - discharging and number - controlling mechanism for a gashapon machine, which includes a ball hopper 1, a turntable 2, a turntable driving mechanism 3, a turntable transmission mechanism 4, and a ball - discharging limiting mechanism 5. The turntable 2 is arranged inside the ball hopper 1, the turntable driving mechanism 3 is arranged below the ball hopper 1, the turntable 2 is connected to the output shaft of the turntable driving mechanism 3, and the turntable driving mechanism 3 drives the turntable 2 to rotate inside the ball hopper 1.

[0041] On the turntable 2, at least one ball - inlet hole 6 is arranged on the circumference centered on the output shaft of the turntable driving mechanism 3. Each ball - inlet hole 6 can only accommodate one ball at a time and can rotate with the turntable 2. In this embodiment, please refer to the attached Figure 3 There are two ball - inlet holes 6, and the two ball - inlet holes 6 are located on the same diameter of the turntable 2; the ball hopper 1 is provided with an outlet hole 7, and the ball - inlet hole 6 and the outlet hole 7 are located on the same circumferential radius. The prize ball 10 in the ball hopper 1 can rotate with the turntable 2 and fall from the ball hopper 1 into the ball - inlet hole 6. When the ball - inlet hole 6 coincides with the outlet hole 7, it falls into the outlet hole 7 and finally discharges the ball from the outlet hole 7.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 4, the turntable transmission mechanism 4 is arranged on the turntable 2, and the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5 is arranged below the ball outlet hole 7 of the ball bucket 1. The turntable 2 is connected to the turntable transmission mechanism 4 and the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5 in transmission. The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the turntable driving mechanism 3 drives the turntable 2 to rotate, and the rotation of the turntable 2 drives the turntable transmission mechanism 4 and the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5 to move, so that the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5 closes or opens to achieve the blocking or passing of the reward ball 10. Specifically, when the turntable 2 rotates, the reward ball 10 falls into the goal hole 6. When the turntable 2 rotates, the goal hole 6 approaches the ball outlet hole 7 to overlap, and the reward ball 10 in the goal hole 6 falls into the ball outlet hole 7. At this time, the turntable 2 drives the turntable transmission mechanism 4 to transmit the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5. The mechanism 5 is closed to limit the reward ball 10 above the ball-exiting limiting mechanism 5, blocking the reward ball 10 from passing through and exiting the ball; it should be noted that when the ball-exiting limiting mechanism 5 is closed, a ball just falls on it, and at this time the goal hole 6 is in a ball-free state, and the ball in the ball bucket 1 can fall into the goal hole 6, supported by the ball above the ball-exiting limiting mechanism 5, and the reward ball 10 in the ball hole can still rotate with the turntable 2. When the turntable 2 rotates, the edge of the goal hole 6 gradually moves away from the edge of the ball-exiting hole 7 to a misalignment, and at this time the ball-exiting hole 7 already has the reward ball 10, and the turntable 2 rotates to drive the turntable transmission mechanism 4 to drive so that the ball-exiting limiting mechanism 5 opens to release the restriction and allow the reward ball 10 to pass through, thereby exiting the ball. It should be noted that at this time, due to the misalignment of the goal hole 6 and the ball-exiting hole 7, the turntable 2 hole-free shielding area K1 in the turntable 2 will cover the ball-exiting hole 7 of the ball bucket 1, and no ball falls into the ball-exiting hole 7, ensuring that the ball is randomly exited each time and the ball is entered and exited once each time.

[0043] For details, please refer to the attached Figure 8 , and also includes an infrared counter-radiation sensor 8 and a control circuit 9. The infrared counter-radiation sensor 8 is arranged in the ball-out limiting mechanism 5. The infrared counter-radiation sensor is electrically connected to the control circuit 9 and the turntable driving mechanism 3. The infrared counter-radiation sensor 8, the control circuit 9 and the turntable driving mechanism 3 work together. When the counter-radiation light source of the infrared counter-radiation sensor captures that the reward ball 10 is no longer on the ball-out limiting mechanism 5, a pulse signal is returned to the control circuit 9 to control the turntable driving mechanism 3 to stop working, that is, the turntable 2 stops working after each ball is out to ensure that only one ball is out each time.

[0044] Example:

[0045] In this embodiment, please refer to the attached Figure 4 , Attachment Figure 5 and attached Figure 6, the turntable transmission mechanism 4 includes an annular cam lifting track 41, a guide ball 42, and a transmission iron sheet 43. The annular cam lifting track 41 is concentrically arranged in the turntable 2. The guide ball 42 is arranged in the annular cam lifting track 41 and is slidably connected to the annular cam lifting track 41. One end of the transmission iron sheet 43 is fixedly connected to the guide ball 42, and the other end is fixedly connected to the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5. A chute highest point H1 and a chute lowest point H2 are arranged in the annular cam lifting track 41. The chute highest point H1 is arranged at the intersection of the central connection line of the two goal holes 6 and the annular cam lifting track 41. The chute lowest point H2 is arranged at the intersection of the perpendicular line of the central connection line of the two goal holes 6 and the annular cam lifting track 41; in this embodiment, please refer to the attached Figure 6 , attached Figure 7 and attached Figure 8 , the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5 includes a left flip flap 51, a right flip flap 52, a T-shaped sleeve 54, and a driving piece 55. Both the left flip flap 51 and the right flip flap 52 are hinged to the ball hopper 1 below the ball outlet hole 7. Driving inclined grooves 53 are arranged on both the left flip flap 51 and the right flip flap 52. The T-shaped sleeve 54 is slidably connected to the driving inclined groove 53 and is fixedly connected to the driving piece 55 through a fastening screw. The driving piece 55 is fixedly connected to the transmission iron sheet 43 through a fastening screw.

[0046] It should be noted that the working processes of the turntable transmission mechanism 4 and the ball outlet limiting mechanism 5 in this embodiment are as follows:

[0047] When the turntable 2 rotates, the annular cam lifting track 41 moves synchronously. The guide ball 42, the transmission iron sheet 43, and the driving piece 55 do not move in the horizontal direction and only move up and down in the vertical direction along with the annular cam lifting track 41. Please refer to the attached Figure 5 , there is a smooth track transition between the chute highest point H1 and the chute lowest point H2 of the annular cam lifting track 41, forming a closed loop. When the guide ball 42 moves to the highest point, it drives the transmission iron sheet 43 and the driving piece 55 to rise to the highest position. When the guide ball 42 moves to the lowest point, it drives the transmission iron sheet 43 and the driving piece 55 to descend to the lowest position.

[0048] The specific working process is as follows: Please refer to the attached Figures 1 to 9 , when the turntable 2 rotates, the bonus ball 10 in the ball hopper 1 randomly falls into the goal hole 6. When the turntable driving mechanism 3 drives the turntable 2 to continue rotating and the guide ball 42 moves to the chute highest point H1 of the annular cam lifting track 41, specifically refer to the attached Figure 7, the goal hole 6 and the ball outlet hole 7 coincide. At this time, the bonus ball 10 in the goal hole 6 falls into the ball outlet hole 7. At the same time, the guiding ball 42 drives the transmission iron sheet 43, which in turn drives the driving piece 55 to the highest position. At this time, the driving piece 55 drives the T-shaped sleeve 54 to cooperate with the driving inclined groove 53, so that the left turning baffle 51 and the right turning baffle 52 close inwardly towards each other. At this time, after closing, the distance in the middle is smaller than the diameter of the bonus ball 10, thus blocking the passage of the bonus ball 10; at this time, since the bonus ball 10 in the goal hole 6 has fallen into the ball-free state above the ball passing bend, the goal hole 6 can rotate with the turntable 2 and can fall into and accommodate another bonus ball 10;

[0049] When the turntable 2 rotates to make the guiding ball 42 continue to move to the lowest point H2 of the chute of the annular cam lifting track 41, please refer to the attached Figure 9 , the goal hole 6 and the ball outlet hole 7 are misaligned. At this time, the hole-free area in the turntable 2 will cover the ball outlet hole 7 of the ball hopper 1. The goal hole 6 in the turntable 2 only accommodates one ball and is in the turntable 2 and will not fall into the ball outlet hole 7. At the same time, the guiding ball 42 drives the transmission iron sheet 43, which in turn drives the driving piece 55 to the lowest position. At this time, the driving piece 55 drives the T-shaped sleeve 54 to cooperate with the driving inclined groove 53, so that the left turning baffle 51 and the right turning baffle 52 open outwardly from each other. At this time, after opening, the distance in the middle is larger than the diameter of the bonus ball 10. At this time, the bonus ball 10 in the ball outlet hole 7 is unobstructed, so the passage of the bonus ball 10 is allowed. After the bonus ball 10 passes, the infrared pair-emitting sensor 8 captures that the bonus ball 10 has exited the ball, and returns a pulse signal to the control circuit 9 to control the turntable drive mechanism 3 to stop working, that is, the turntable 2 stops working after each ball is ejected to ensure that only one ball is ejected each time. Wait for the device to obtain an instruction such as coin insertion, etc., and then drive to cycle the above working process.

[0050] It should be noted that two goal holes 6 are provided in the ball tray of the present utility model, corresponding to two highest points H1 of the chute and the lowest point H2 of the chute provided on the annular cam lifting track 41 of the turntable 2, and only one ball outlet hole 7 is provided. Taking the ball outlet hole 7 as a reference, it is ensured that the turntable 2 can make each goal hole 6 work independently in a complete closed loop of ball inlet and outlet during one week of circular motion.

[0051] In this embodiment, a guiding track is further provided at the bottom of the ball hopper 1, and the driving piece 55 is slidably connected to the guiding track. The guiding track facilitates the more smooth lifting and lowering of the driving piece 55 in the vertical direction.

[0052] In this embodiment, the turntable drive mechanism 3 includes a motor gearbox 31, a hexagonal transmission output shaft 32, and a hexagonal connection seat 33. The motor gearbox 31 is in transmission connection with the hexagonal transmission output shaft 32. The hexagonal connection seat 33 is arranged at the center of the turntable 2 and is fixedly connected to the hexagonal transmission output shaft 32. The motor gearbox 31 drives the hexagonal output shaft 32 and the hexagonal connection seat 33 to move to drive the turntable 2 to move synchronously.

[0053] Specifically, a cap is further provided on the turntable 2, which makes the turntable 2 more beautiful and prevents the reward ball 10 from falling into the middle of the turntable 2.

[0054] With the above structure, the present utility model can achieve random ball output and accurate ball output. Moreover, there is no ball separation baffle in the ball tray. When the turntable 2 moves, the reward ball 10 will not be squeezed by the baffle, and the reward ball 10 is not easily damaged, featuring accurate ball control.

[0055] The present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. If various modifications or deformations of the present utility model do not depart from the spirit and scope of the present utility model, and provided that these modifications and deformations fall within the scope of the claims of the present utility model and equivalent technologies, the present utility model also includes these deformations and modifications.
