[0031] Referring to Figures 1 to 4 , according to the mole-hitting mechanism of the first aspect embodiment of the present utility model, it includes a frame 100, a sliding component 200, a limiting structure 300, a driving device, and a buffer limiting member 400. The sliding component 200 is slidably connected to the frame 100. The sliding component 200 includes a striking head 210 and a sliding member 220. The striking head 210 is provided on the top of the sliding member 220. The limiting structure 300 is provided on the frame 100 and the sliding component 200. The limiting structure 300 can limit the sliding stroke of the sliding component 200 on the frame 100. The driving device is provided on the frame 100. The driving device can drive the sliding member 220 to slide. The buffer limiting member 400 is provided on the frame 100 and is located below the sliding member 220. The buffer limiting member 400 can cooperate with the bottom end of the sliding member 220 for buffering. The sliding component 200 can slide up and down under the limitation of the limiting structure 300. The sliding component 200 can be driven by the driving device to slide upward and protrude. The player can strike the striking head 210 downward. The bottom end of the sliding member 220 can first abut against the buffer limiting member 400. The buffer limiting member 400 can buffer the impact of the sliding member 220 and be stressed in the axial direction of the sliding member 220, so that the shearing force received by the sliding member 220 is small and it is not easy to break and damage, and the service life can be improved.
[0032] Specifically, a sliding member 220 is connected to the bottom of the striking head 210. The sliding member 220 can be a sliding column. A vertically arranged sliding channel can be correspondingly provided on the frame 100, enabling the sliding assembly 200 to be slidably connected to the frame 100 in the up and down direction. The striking head 210 can be set in different shapes for players to strike. The driving device can drive the sliding assembly 200 to slide upward so that the striking head 210 can protrude for a certain period of time, and players can score by striking. When the striking causes the sliding assembly 200 to slide downward, the limiting structure 300 can limit the up and down sliding stroke of the sliding assembly 200. Generally, the limiting structure 300 abuts against the side of the sliding assembly 200, and the specific structure is not limited herein. Before the limiting structure 300 restricts the downward sliding of the sliding assembly 200, the sliding member 220 can first cooperate with the buffer limiting member 400. The buffer limiting member 400 is provided at the bottom of the frame 100 and is located below the sliding member 220. When the player strikes, the sliding assembly 200 slides downward. Without the buffer limiting member 400, the sliding assembly 200 will cooperate with the limiting structure 300 for limiting, causing the side of the sliding assembly 200 to bear the impact. The shear force received by the sliding assembly 200 is large and it is easy to break and damage. After setting the buffer limiting member 400, the bottom of the sliding member 220 can buffer and cooperate with the buffer limiting member 400. The buffer limiting member 400 can be made of an elastic material that can buffer. When the bottom of the sliding member 220 cooperates with the buffer limiting member 400, the force received is an axial force. The vertically arranged sliding member 220 has sufficient strength in the axial direction and is not easily damaged, thus improving the service life of the sliding assembly 200.

The sliding limiting groove 310 opens upward, and the striking head 210 can protrude from the opening of the sliding limiting groove 310 for the player to strike. A first limiting portion 320 is provided at the upper part of the sliding member 220. The first limiting portion 320 is located within the sliding limiting groove 310.
