Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of entertainment equipment, in particular to a novel moving target transmission device and a game machine for a game machine. Background Art

[0002] A mechanical game machine is an entertainment product that combines the exercise of a person's eyesight and movements. Players use an object to hit a moving target, and the moving target is an important part of the entertainment process for players.

[0003] At present, the mechanical game machines on the market use a swinging motor to drive a turntable, and then the turntable drives a swinging connecting rod. The swinging connecting rod is connected to a pull rod, and the pull rod drives the moving target to slide on a sliding module. The reciprocating motion of the pull rod is driven by circular motion, so that the moving target moves back and forth left and right. Although such a transmission device can achieve the left and right movement of the target, its disadvantage is that the circular motion is converted into a reciprocating motion. When the circular motion is uniform, the obtained linear reciprocating motion is a variable-speed motion, which directly affects the interest of players during the game process. Moreover, the moving target is connected by two swinging connecting rods. The length and position of the swinging connecting rods directly affect the smoothness of the moving target. During the production process, due to production errors and installation process differences, the swinging connecting rods often get stuck, and the moving target is not smooth, which also affects the interest of players and increases the failure rate of the equipment.

[0025] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Please refer to Figure 1 An embodiment of the present utility model provides a novel mobile target transmission device for a gaming machine, including: a fixed seat 10, a movable induction seat 20, a synchronous belt translation drive assembly 30, and two induction assemblies 40.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2, a guiding track 11 is provided on the fixed seat 10; the movable induction seat 20 is movably connected to the guiding track 11, and the movable induction seat 20 is used for assembling with a moving target; two induction components 40 are arranged on the fixed seat 10 and are arranged in sequence along the guiding direction of the guiding track 11, and the induction components 40 are in induction cooperation with the movable induction seat 20; the synchronous belt translation driving component 30 is signal-connected to the induction components 40 and is drivingly connected to the movable induction seat 20. The synchronous belt translation driving component 30 is used for driving the movable induction seat 20 to reciprocate between the two induction components 40 along the guiding track 11. When the movable induction seat 20 moves to trigger the induction component 40, the induction component 40 emits an induction signal, and the synchronous belt translation driving component 30 receives the induction signal, and then the synchronous belt translation driving component 30 drives the movable induction seat 20 to move in the reverse direction, so that the movable induction seat 20 realizes reciprocating movement.

[0027] The synchronous belt translation driving component 30 and the induction components 40 can be signal-connected by means of wired connection or wireless connection.

[0028] The specific structure of the induction component 40 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the induction component 40 includes a light eye sensor 41 and a light eye fixing frame 42. The light eye sensor 41 is fixed on the fixed seat 10 through the light eye fixing frame 42, and the movable induction seat 20 is in induction cooperation with the light eye sensor 41. Of course, the induction component 40 can also adopt an infrared sensor, a photoelectric sensor, a proximity switch, etc., without limitation to this example.

[0029] The movable induction seat 20 needs to be in induction cooperation with the induction component 40, which may lead to the need to make a special shape design for the movable induction seat 20. In order to simplify the structure of the movable induction seat 20 and reduce the production difficulty, in some optional embodiments, an induction sheet 21 is provided on the movable induction seat 20, and the movable induction seat 20 is in induction cooperation with the light eye sensor 41 through the induction sheet 21. The induction sheet 21 can be detachably assembled on the movable induction seat 20 by screws, which is convenient for production assembly and maintenance replacement.

[0030] In order to prevent the movable induction seat 20 from colliding with other structures and generating strong vibrations, resulting in the shaking of the moving target and affecting the user experience, in some optional embodiments, two anti-collision pads 12 are provided on the fixed seat 10. The two anti-collision pads 12 are arranged in sequence along the guiding direction of the guiding track 11. The movable induction seat 20 moves between the two anti-collision pads 12, and the anti-collision pads 12 can absorb the impact of the movable induction seat 20 and provide a buffering effect on the movable induction seat 20. The anti-collision pads 12 can adopt an elastic structure.

[0031] In order to facilitate the assembly of the anti-collision pads 12, in some optional embodiments, two anti-collision fixing frames 13 are provided on the fixed seat 10, and the anti-collision pads 12 are correspondingly installed on the fixed seat 10 through the anti-collision fixing frames 13.

[0032] In order to enable the motion sensing seat 20 to stably abut against the anti-collision pad 12, in some alternative embodiments, anti-collision plates 22 are provided on both sides of the motion sensing seat 20. The positions of the anti-collision plates 22 correspond to those of the anti-collision pad 12. The motion sensing seat 20 can contact the anti-collision pad 12 through the anti-collision plates 22, improving the stability of the force received, and thus ensuring the buffering effect of the anti-collision pad 12.

[0033] In some alternative embodiments, the guiding track 11 is a linear slide rail. The fixed seat 10 is slidably engaged with the linear slide rail through a sliding seat 14, which is conducive to smoothly guiding the movement of the motion sensing seat 20, and further improving the movement stability of the moving target.

[0034] In some alternative embodiments, the synchronous belt translation drive assembly 30 includes a synchronous belt 31, a synchronous motor 32 and two synchronous wheels 33. The synchronous wheels 33 are rotatably arranged on the fixed seat 10. The synchronous motor 32 is drivingly connected to one of the synchronous wheels 33 and is signal-connected to the sensing assembly 40. The synchronous belt 31 is respectively in transmission cooperation with the two synchronous wheels 33. The motion sensing seat 20 is fixedly connected to the synchronous belt through a fixing piece 23. In this embodiment, the synchronous motor 32 is signal-connected to the light eye sensor 41 of the sensing assembly 40 through a main board. When the main board transmits a forward rotation signal to the drive board of the stepping motor, the stepping motor rotates forward. The stepping motor drives the motion sensing seat 20 to move in a preset direction through the synchronous wheel 33 and the stepping belt. When the sensing piece 21 of the motion sensing seat 20 triggers the light eye sensor 41, the light eye sensor 41 feeds back a stop signal to the main board. The main board receives the stop signal and issues a control signal to the drive board of the stepping motor, and the stepping motor stops rotating forward and then rotates reversely. Thus, the stepping motor drives the motion sensing seat 20 to move in the opposite direction of the preset direction through the synchronous wheel 33 and the stepping belt. When the sensing piece 21 of the motion sensing seat 20 triggers another light eye sensor 41, based on the same principle as above, the stepping motor rotates forward again, causing the motion sensing seat 20 to move in the preset direction, realizing a reciprocating motion.

[0035] In order to improve the transmission stability, in some alternative embodiments, the synchronous belt translation drive assembly 30 further includes two transmission structures. The transmission structures are correspondingly connected to the synchronous wheels 33. Among them, the transmission structure includes a rotating rod 34, a plurality of bearings 35 and a bearing fixing frame 36. The bearings 35 are installed on the fixed seat 10 through the bearing fixing frame 36. The rotating rod 34 passes through the bearings 35 and the synchronous wheels 33. The synchronous motor 32 is drivingly connected to one of the rotating rods 34 through a coupling 37.

[0036] The above-mentioned novel moving target transmission device for a gaming machine can be applied to a gaming machine, which includes: a main body, a moving target, and the above-mentioned novel moving target transmission device for a gaming machine. The fixed seat 10 of the novel moving target transmission device for a gaming machine is arranged on the main body, and the moving target is assembled with the movable induction seat 20 of the novel moving target transmission device for a gaming machine, and the novel moving target transmission device for a gaming machine drives the moving target to move back and forth.

[0037] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
