[0036] One end of the drum 2 is provided with a gear 4 coaxially linked therewith.

[0037] A reciprocating driving bar is provided in the housing 1 . The driving bar is provided with teeth 51 that can mesh with the gear 4 . The movement of the driving bar can drive the gear 4 to rotate.

[0038] A rotatable shaft 5 is provided in the housing 1 , and a lever 6 is connected to the shaft 5 for driving the shaft 5 to rotate. A slot 7 for the lever 6 to extend out is provided on the housing 1 .

[0039] A shift bar 8 is connected to the rotating shaft 5 , and the rotating shaft 5 can rotate to drive the driving bar to move away from the rotating shaft 5 through the shift bar 8 .

[0040] An elastic reset member 9 is provided in the housing 1 to prevent the driving bar from moving away from the rotating shaft 5 .

[0041] The game console primarily consists of a housing 1, a rotatable drum 2, a drive bar, a rotating shaft, and a lever 6. The housing 1 provides support and protection for the entire device. Drum 2 is located within the housing 1, with a blueprint affixed to its outer periphery. The blueprint features various patterns, with each row displaying different patterns, and only one or two rows displaying the same pattern. The user can change the displayed pattern by rotating drum 2. A coaxial gear 4 is located at one end of drum 2, receiving power from the drive bar. Teeth 51 on the drive bar mesh with gear 4, forming a rack structure that drives gear 4. Connected to the rotating shaft are a lever 6 and a lever 8. The lever 6 extends through a slot 7 in the housing 1 for easy user operation. The lever 8 drives the drive bar. An elastic reset member 9 is also located within the housing 1, which resets the drive bar when the lever 6 is released.

[0042] Housing 1: Provides space for mounting and protecting other components. It has a hollow display window 3 for displaying the pattern on the drum 2. It also has a slot 7 for the lever 6 to extend, making it easier for the user to operate the device.

[0043] Roller 2: As a carrier of patterns, it displays different patterns by rotating. Drawings are attached to the outer circumference, and the patterns on the drawings are rich and varied, adding to the fun of the game.

[0044] Gear 4: Coaxially linked with roller 2, it transmits the power of the driving bar to roller 2, making roller 2 rotate.

[0045] The drive bar is provided with teeth 51, which mesh with the gear 4 to form a rack structure. It can slide back and forth under the action of the shift lever 6 and the shift bar 8, thereby driving the gear 4 to rotate.

[0046] The shaft connects the lever 6 and the bar 8, and transmits power. It rotates when the user operates the lever 6, driving the drive bar to move via the bar 8.

[0047] Lever 6: Extends out of slot 7 on housing 1. The user can control the rotation of the shaft by operating lever 6. This provides the user with an operation interface to facilitate control of the game process.

[0048] The dial bar 8 is connected to the rotating shaft and rotates with the rotating shaft. When the rotating shaft rotates, the dial bar 8 drives the driving bar to move away from the rotating shaft.

[0049] Elastic reset member 9: prevents the drive bar from moving away from the rotating shaft and resets the drive bar after the lever 6 is released. This ensures that the drive bar can return to its initial position after each operation and is ready for the next operation.

[0050] The housing 1 is provided with a blocking portion 52 that limits the movement of the drive bar toward the extreme position of the shaft 5.

[0051] Working Principle: The user operates lever 6, causing the shaft to rotate. The selector bar 8 on the shaft rotates accordingly, driving the drive bar away from the shaft. The teeth 51 on the drive bar engage with gear 4, rotating gear 4, which in turn drives roller 2, causing the pattern on roller 2 to change. When the user releases lever 6, the elastic return member 9 activates, returning the drive bar to its original position. Thus, the user's operation and the action of the elastic return member 9 enable the rotation of roller 2 and the switching of patterns.

[0052] Innovations and Advantages: This invention proposes a novel mechanism for rotating the roller 2, which differs from existing technologies. Its rational structural design and coordinated components ensure stable and reliable operation. User operation is simple and convenient, with the lever 6 controlling the rotation of the roller 2, adding to the game's fun and interactivity. The provision of an elastic reset element 9 ensures the automatic reset of the drive bar, enhancing the game's repeatability and user experience.

[0053] The driving bar includes a sliding bar 10 and a driving part 11. The sliding bar 10 is slidably connected to the shell 1. A sliding groove that slides with the sliding bar 10 is provided in the shell 1. The teeth 51 are provided on the sliding bar 10. The driving part 11 is provided at one end of the sliding bar 10. The driving part 11 is arranged vertically to the sliding bar 10. The dial bar 8 is abutted against the driving part 11. The driving part 11 is located between the dial bar 8 and the sliding bar 10. One end of the elastic return member 9 is abutted against the driving part 11. The driving part 11 is located between the elastic return member 9 and the dial bar 8.

[0054] The drive bar consists of a sliding bar 10 and a drive unit 11. The sliding bar 10 is slidably connected to the housing 1 via a sliding groove, ensuring stable reciprocating movement within the housing 1. Teeth 51 are provided on the sliding bar 10 for engaging with the gear 4 at one end of the roller 2, thereby transmitting power to rotate the roller 2. The drive unit 11 is located at one end of the sliding bar 10 and is perpendicular to the sliding bar 10. This design makes the drive bar more structurally sound and facilitates coordination with other components.

[0055] Sliding bar 10: Serving as the main component of the drive bar, it carries teeth 51. By sliding within the grooves of housing 1, it drives gear 4 to rotate. Connected to drive unit 11, it transmits power from drive unit 11 to teeth 51, and thus to gear 4.

[0056] Drive unit 11: Located vertically at one end of slider 10, it connects and transmits power. It abuts against selector bar 8. When the shaft rotates, selector bar 8 pushes drive unit 11, thereby moving slider 10. Located between elastic return element 9 and selector bar 8, it receives the driving force from selector bar 8 and, after release of selector lever 6, withstands the force of elastic return element 9, restoring the drive bar.

[0057] The coordination between the selector bar 8 and the drive unit 11: The selector bar 8 and the drive unit 11 contact each other. When the shaft rotates, the selector bar 8, through contact with the drive unit 11, converts the rotational force into a force that pushes the drive unit 11. Because the drive unit 11 is located between the selector bar 8 and the slider 10, the driving force of the selector bar 8 can be effectively transmitted to the slider 10, causing it to move away from the shaft.

[0058] The elastic return member 9 and the drive unit 11 work together: One end of the elastic return member 9 abuts against the drive unit 11. When the drive bar moves, the elastic return member 9 is compressed or stretched, storing elastic potential energy. When the release lever 6 is operated, the elastic return member 9 releases this elastic potential energy, pushing the drive unit 11, causing the drive bar to move closer to the shaft, achieving the reset function.

[0059] The user operates the lever 6, causing the shaft to rotate, and the selector bar 8 on the shaft rotates accordingly. The selector bar 8 pushes the drive unit 11, which drives the slider 10 to slide away from the shaft within the groove of the housing 1. The teeth 51 on the slider 10 engage with the gear 4, driving the gear 4 to rotate, which in turn drives the roller 2 to rotate, achieving the pattern switching. When the user releases the lever 6, the elastic return member 9 pushes the drive unit 11, causing the drive bar to move closer to the shaft, and the slider 10 returns to its initial position. The teeth 51 disengage from the gear 4, preparing for the next operation.

[0060] A circuit board 12 is fixedly installed in the shell 1. A plug-in slot 16 for connecting the circuit board 12 is provided in the shell 1. A touch-pressure switch 13 is provided on the circuit board 12. When the driving bar moves away from the rotating shaft 5, the driving part 11 can perform a touch-pressure operation on the touch-pressure switch 13. By touching and pressing the touch-pressure switch 13, the touch-pressure switch 13 is turned on and off, thereby realizing circuit control.

[0061] The circuit board 12 is fixedly mounted inside the housing 1 and is the core of the entire game console circuit system. It is responsible for receiving and processing various electrical signals to control the functions of the game console.

[0062] Plug-in slot: used to connect the circuit board 12 and ensure the stable installation of the circuit board 12 in the housing 1. At the same time, the plug-in slot also facilitates the maintenance and replacement of the circuit board 12.

[0063] Touch-pressure switch 13: Attached to circuit board 12, it works with the drive bar's driver 11 to control the circuit's on and off state. When the drive bar moves away from the axis, driver 11 activates a touch-pressure operation on touch-pressure switch 13, triggering a change in the switch's state.

[0064] When the user operates the lever 6 to rotate the shaft, the lever 8 on the shaft pushes the drive bar's driver 11. This driver 11 drives the slider 10 away from the shaft. During this movement, the driver 11 presses against the touch switch 13 on the circuit board 12. The pressure from the driver 11 causes the touch switch 13 to change state, turning it on or off, thereby controlling the circuit. This design combines mechanical motion with circuit control, making the game console's operation more intelligent and diverse.

[0065] For example, when the touch-pressure switch 13 is on, a specific function of the game machine can be triggered, such as emitting a sound or lighting an indicator light. When the touch-pressure switch 13 is off, the corresponding function is deactivated. In this way, while operating the game machine, the user not only enjoys the visual pleasure of the changing patterns on the reel 2, but also enjoys an enhanced gaming experience through the sound and lighting effects generated by the circuit control.

[0066] Innovations and advantages:

[0067] Increased circuit control function, make game console more intelligent. Through the control of touch-press switch 13, can realize more game playing method and special effect, improved the interest and attraction of game console.

[0068] The combination of mechanical structure and circuit control is cleverly designed, making full use of the movement of the drive bar to trigger the circuit switch, achieving an integrated operating experience.

[0069] The fixed arrangement of the circuit board 12 and the design of the plug slot ensure the stability and reliability of the circuit system, while also facilitating maintenance and upgrading.

[0070] The elastic return element 9 is a spring. The drive unit 11 is equipped with a contact head 14 corresponding to the touch switch 13. The two ends of the spring are connected to the contact head 14 and the touch switch 13, respectively. The contact head 14 is mounted on the drive unit 11 and corresponds to the touch switch 13. The function of the contact head 14 is to more accurately contact the touch switch 13. When the drive bar moves, the contact head 14 moves with the drive unit 11, enabling more precise contact with the touch switch 13 and ensuring its proper operation.

[0071] When the driving bar moves, the spring is compressed, and the pressure of the touch-pressure head 14 on the touch-pressure switch 13 increases, triggering the state change of the touch-pressure switch 13 .

[0072] The two ends of the spring are connected to the touch pressure head 14 and the touch pressure switch 13 respectively, and the touch pressure head 14 and the touch pressure switch 13 play the role of positioning and fixing the two ends of the spring.

[0073] The game console also includes a lamp 15 electrically connected to the circuit board 12. The housing 1 has an opening through which the lamp 15 is exposed. The lamp electrically connected to the circuit board 12 adds visual appeal to the game console. A sound-generating device connected to the circuit board 12 is housed within the housing 1. The sound-generating device within the housing 1 is connected to the circuit board 12 and can produce different sound effects depending on the progress of the game. A battery is housed within the housing 1 and connected to the circuit board 12. The battery within the housing 1 is connected to the circuit board 12 and provides power to the entire game console.

[0074] The housing 1 is provided with a battery compartment 53 for installing batteries. The housing 1 is provided with a speaker compartment 54 for a sound-generating device.

[0075] Rotating shafts 17 are respectively provided at both ends of the axial direction of the drum 2 , and a mounting groove 18 rotatably connected to the rotating shaft 17 is provided on the inner side wall of the shell 1 .

[0076] Rotation axis: Located at both ends of the axial direction of the drum 2, it provides support and rotation center for the rotation of the drum 2. The design of the rotation axis enables the drum 2 to rotate stably within the shell 1, ensuring smooth switching and display of patterns during the game.
