[0020] In order to further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by the present invention to achieve the predetermined purpose of the utility model, the specific implementation method, structure, characteristics and effects of the present invention are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0021] See also Figures 1-3As shown in the figure, the utility model provides a ball-sorting structure for a gaming machine, which includes a ball hopper 1. On both sides of the upper end surface of the ball hopper 1, an upper ball channel 1 and an upper ball channel 2 are respectively installed. At the bottom surface of the top of the upper ball channel 1 and the upper ball channel 2, a ball-sorting component 5 for the sphere to enter is installed. The ball-sorting component 5 includes a fixed vertical plate 6. On one side of the fixed vertical plate 6, an electromagnet mounting plate 8 is arranged in parallel. In the middle of the inner wall surface of the electromagnet mounting plate 8 and the fixed vertical plate 6, a movable slider 16 is rotatably installed. On both sides of the movable slider 16, fixed sliders 7 are arranged. The fixed sliders 7 are fixed to the inner wall surface of the fixed vertical plate 6. Channels are formed between the two fixed sliders 7 and the movable slider 16. The lower end surfaces of the fixed vertical plate 6 and the electromagnet mounting plate 8 are respectively connected with a lower ball channel 2 and a lower ball channel 1 that are communicated with the corresponding channels. Initially, the top end of the movable slider 16 is adjacent to the inner side surface of the fixed slider 7, and the channel on this side is in an unobstructed state. When the movable slider 16 rotates, this channel is closed, and the channel on the other side is in an open state for the sphere to enter the party ball cylinder. By the spheres falling in the party ball cylinder, corresponding game rewards can be obtained, increasing the fun of the game.

[0022] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in the figure, on the outer wall surface of the electromagnet mounting plate 8, two upper and lower support seats 13 are installed. On one support seat 13, an electromagnet 1 is arranged. On one side below the electromagnet 1, an electromagnet 2 installed on the other support seat 13 is arranged. The armatures in the electromagnet 1 and the electromagnet 2 are both connected with a spring support 19. One end of the spring support 19 is provided with a stop piece, and the other end of the spring support 19 is provided with a hole groove. On the surface of the movable slider 16, two fixed bolts 17 are installed. The ends of the two fixed bolts 17 are respectively in contact with the inner wall surface of the hole groove at the end of the corresponding spring support 19; on the middle surface of the electromagnet mounting plate 8, two arc grooves 18 for the corresponding fixed bolts 17 to swing reciprocally are provided. The two arc grooves 18 are arranged in parallel. Initially, as Figure 2In the shown position state, the upper fixing bolt 17 is located in the hole groove at the end of the upper spring support 19, while the lower fixing bolt 17 is located in the hole groove at the end of the lower spring support 19. The tip of the movable slider 16 abuts against the inner side surface of one of the fixed sliders 7, and the channel is in an unobstructed state, facilitating the sphere to drop through this channel. This channel is used for the sphere to enter onto the table. When the electromagnet one 9 and the electromagnet two 10 work simultaneously, it means winning a prize. That is, when the armature of the electromagnet one 9 pulls the spring support 19 to move to the left, and the armature of the electromagnet two 10 pulls the spring support 19 to move to the right. Due to the abutting contact, it drives the upper fixing bolt 17 to move in the upper arc-shaped groove 18, and the lower fixing bolt 17 swings along with the rotation of the movable slider 16. That is, the lower fixing bolt 17 moves in the lower arc-shaped groove 18 and approaches the other inner wall surface of the hole groove of the lower spring support 19, and the spring 20 is in a stretched (elongated) state. At this time, the channel between the movable slider 16 and one of the fixed sliders 7 is in an open state. This channel is used for the sphere to enter into the party ball tube. The sphere dropped through the party ball tube can obtain corresponding game rewards, increasing the fun of the game. And the channel on the other side is in a closed state, thus realizing the ball sorting procedure of the sphere and increasing the playability.

[0023] As shown by Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the end face of the support base 13 is provided with a bent section, and a limiting groove for the spring support 19 to slide through is provided on the bent section. A compression spring is installed between the pushing end of the electromagnet one 9 and the retaining piece at one end of the spring support 19; a fixing column 22 is installed on the surface of the electromagnet mounting plate 8. A spring 20 is fixedly arranged on the surface of the fixing column 22, and a gasket 21 for limiting the end of the spring 20 is connected to the outside of the fixing column 22. A screw sleeve is threadedly connected to the outside of the fixing column 22. One end of the spring 20 is fixedly connected to the outside of the upper fixing bolt 17. Initially, one end of the spring 20 is fixed to the upper fixing bolt 17, and the other end is fixed to the fixing column 22. The spring 20 is in a tensioned state, so that the tip of the movable slider 16 abuts against one side surface of the fixed slider 7 in the initial state, facilitating the sphere to drop through this channel. Then the electromagnet one 9 pulls the spring support 19 to the left and makes the spring 20 elongate, and the compression spring is in a compressed state. The upper fixing bolt 17 together with the movable slider 16 is driven to rotate through the spring support 19. At this time, the channel is closed, and the channel on the other side is opened, facilitating the winning sphere to enter into the party ball tube.

[0024] Refer to Figure 3As shown, ball grooves 14 are provided on the upper end surfaces of the lower lane one 11 and the lower lane two 15. One ball groove 14 communicates with one channel on the same side, and the other ball groove 14 communicates with the other channel on the same side. Configuration light eye plates 12 for triggering winning instructions according to the volume of the sphere are installed on the outer side surfaces of the lower lane one 11 and the lower lane two 15. The small balls discharged through the lower lane two 15 enter the party ball cylinder. The lower lane two 15 is the ball outlet cavity for ordinary spheres, and the lower lane one 11 is the ball outlet cavity for winning spheres. Among them, the configuration light eye plate 12 is a mature technical means in the field, and the balls are discharged by identifying the volume of the spheres. The small balls enter the table from the right side, and the large balls enter the table from the left side. The winning small balls enter the party ball cylinder and obtain corresponding game rewards; the spheres discharged through the lower lane one 11 enter the table and are stacked.

[0025] Figure 1 In it, two inclined surfaces are provided on the inner cavity bottom surface of the ball hopper 1. A ball stirring turbine 2 for pushing the spheres into the upper ball channel one 3 and the upper ball channel two 4 respectively is rotatably installed on the surface of each inclined surface. The spheres are stirred by the ball stirring turbines 2 on both sides and enter the corresponding ball dividing components 5 through the upper ball channel one 3 and the upper ball channel two 4.

[0026] When the present utility model is in use, the tip of the movable slider 16 fits against the inner side surface of one of the fixed sliders 7, and one of the channels is in an unobstructed state. This channel is used for the spheres to enter the table, facilitating the spheres to fall from this channel, while the other channel is closed. When the electromagnet one 9 and the electromagnet two 10 work simultaneously, that is, when the armature of the electromagnet one 9 pulls the spring support 19 to move to the left, and the armature of the electromagnet two 10 pulls the spring support 19 to move to the right. Due to the abutting contact, the upper fixed bolt 17 is driven to move in the upper arc groove 18, and the lower fixed bolt 17 swings along with the rotation of the movable slider 16, that is, the lower fixed bolt 17 moves in the lower arc groove 18 and approaches the other inner wall surface of the hole groove of the lower spring support 19. At this time, the channel between the movable slider 16 and one fixed slider 7 is in an open state. This channel is used for the spheres to enter the party ball cylinder. The spheres falling through the party ball cylinder can obtain corresponding game rewards, increasing the fun of the game, thereby realizing the ball dividing program of the spheres and increasing the playability.
