DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] To make the purpose, technical solution, and advantages of the present invention more clear, the technical solution of the present invention will be described in detail below. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other implementation methods obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] like Figures 1-4 As shown, the present invention provides a tabletop air-suspension hockey game device comprising a housing 1 and a dividing mechanism. The dividing mechanism is disposed on the housing 1 and serves to separate the game area. The dividing mechanism comprises two scoring assemblies, each comprising a scoring portion and a scoreboard. The scoring portion has a scoring surface inclined toward the player and provided with a numerical pattern. The scoreboard is slidably disposed on the scoring portion and has scoring holes formed therein for exposing corresponding numbers in the numerical pattern.

[0031] Further, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the scoring assembly includes a first scoring assembly and a second scoring assembly. The first scoring assembly includes a first scoring portion 3 and a first scoring board 4. The first scoring board 4 can be slidably arranged on the first scoring portion 3 along the length direction of the first scoring portion 3. The first scoring portion 3 has a first scoring surface 301, and the first scoring surface 301 is tilted toward the player to facilitate player observation and operation. The first scoring surface 301 is provided with a digital pattern arranged in sequence along the length direction of the first scoring portion 3. The first scoring board 4 is provided with a first scoring hole 401. When the first scoring board 4 slides to a specific position, the first scoring hole 401 will accurately expose the corresponding number in the digital pattern, thereby completing the scoring process.

[0032] The second scoring assembly includes a second scoring portion 5 and a second scoring board 6. The second scoring board 6 is slidably mounted on the second scoring portion 5 along the length of the first scoring portion 3. The second scoring portion 5 has a second scoring surface 501, which is tilted away from the first scoring surface 301 and is provided with a numerical pattern arranged sequentially along the length of the second scoring portion 5. The second scoring board 6 has second scoring holes 601. When the second scoring board 6 slides to a specific position, the second scoring holes 601 accurately expose the corresponding number in the numerical pattern, thereby completing the scoring process.

[0033] The first scoreboard 4 and the second scoreboard 6 can be presented in cartoon shapes to increase the fun of the game and facilitate the operation of the players.

[0034] Players update the score by sliding their corresponding scoreboard. The operation is convenient and they can intuitively see the changes in the score, which improves the player's sense of accomplishment, ensures the fairness of the game, and increases interaction between players.

[0035] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the demarcation mechanism also includes a demarcation plate 2, and both scoring components are arranged on the demarcation plate 2. A receiving groove 1021 adapted to the demarcation plate 2 is provided on the frame 102 of the shell 1, and hook members 2021 are provided at both ends of the demarcation plate 2. A hook frame adapted to the hook member 2021 is provided on the receiving groove 1021.

[0036] Furthermore, the dividing plate 2 is in an inverted U-shape and is arranged in the middle of the desktop panel 101. The first scoring portion 3 and the second scoring portion 5 are arranged on the horizontal section 201 of the dividing plate 2. The first and second scoring boards 4 and 6 are respectively provided with a first sliding claw 402 and a second sliding claw 602 on both sides, and the bottom of the horizontal section 201 is provided with a slide rail 2011 adapted to the first and second sliding claws 402 and 602. Through the sliding cooperation between the first and second sliding claws 402 and 602 and the slide rail 2011, the first and second scoring boards 4 and 6 are pushed to move back and forth on the dividing plate 2, and the relative positions of the first and second scoring holes 401 and 601 and the first and second scoring portions 3 and 5 are adjusted.

[0037] The two vertical sections 202 of the dividing plate 2 are provided with hooks 2021. When the vertical section 202 of the dividing plate 2 is inserted into the receiving groove 1021, the hooks 2021 cooperate with the hook frame hooks so that the dividing plate 2 is stably mounted on the frame 102.

[0038] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 3As shown, the corners of the desktop panel 101 are set as bevel edges, so that the game area is octagonal.

[0039] Compared with the right-angle boundary design in the prior art, the oblique boundary design increases the unpredictability of the rebound trajectory of the ball piece 11, thereby increasing the challenge and fun of the game.

[0040] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown, a channel is provided between the dividing plate 2 and the table top 101 of the housing 1 for the ball piece 11 to slide through.

[0041] The passage between the dividing plate 2 and the table top 101 allows the ball piece 11 to slide freely in the game area, ensuring the smooth progress of the game while scoring normally.

[0042] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the frame 102 of the housing 1 is provided with storage bins 104, which are arranged opposite to each other. A goal-scoring opening 1041 is provided at the connection between the storage bins 104 and the tabletop 101 of the housing 1, and a ball-taking opening 1042 is provided on the outside of the storage bins 104. An interception plate 1043 is provided between the goal-scoring opening 1041 and the ball-taking opening 1042.

[0043] Furthermore, there are multiple interception plates 1043, which are respectively arranged perpendicular to the goal opening 1041, for intercepting the ball piece 11 entering from the goal opening 1041, and guiding the ball piece 11 to fall to the bottom of the storage bin 104, waiting for the next use, and avoiding flying out of the storage bin 104 directly from the ball retrieval opening 1042.

[0044] The goal opening 1041 allows the ball piece 11 to enter the storage bin 104 from the game area. The storage bin 104 is used to store the ball piece 11. The ball taking opening 1042 allows the player to take out the ball piece 11 from the storage bin 104 when needed.

[0045] As an optional embodiment, Figure 3 As shown, it also includes a fan assembly 7, which is arranged on the bottom plate 103 of the shell 1. A plurality of air outlet holes 1011 are opened on the desktop panel 101, and the air outlet direction of the fan assembly 7 is toward the desktop panel 101.

[0046] Furthermore, the fan assembly 7 is screwed onto the bottom plate 103. The airflow generated by the fan assembly 7 can directly act on the ball piece 11 above the desktop panel 101 through the air outlet 1011, thereby suspending it.

[0047] When the ball piece 11 is suspended, the player can hit the ball piece 11 by operating the handle 12. Since there is almost no contact between the ball piece 11 and the desktop board 101, the friction generated during sliding is greatly reduced, making the sliding of the ball piece 11 smoother, thereby increasing the smoothness and fun of the game.

[0048] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, an air inlet hole 1031 is opened on the bottom plate 103 , and the air inlet hole 1031 is arranged corresponding to the air inlet of the fan assembly 7 , and an air inlet grille 10 is arranged at the outer periphery of the air inlet hole 1031 .

[0049] Furthermore, the air inlet grille 10 includes a circular plate 1001 and a connecting plate 1002. The circular plate 1001 is arranged parallel to the bottom plate 103. The connecting plates 1002 are arranged in a plurality and surround the outer periphery of the circular plate 1001 and connect to the outer periphery of the air inlet hole 1031. An air inlet channel is formed between two adjacent connecting plates 1002, which provides a certain degree of protection for the fan assembly 7.

[0050] The fan assembly 7 can inhale the required amount of air through the air inlet channel and the air inlet hole 1031.

[0051] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, a battery assembly 8 is also included. The battery assembly 8 is arranged on the bottom plate 103 to provide power for the game device.

[0052] The game device further includes a power switch 9 , which is disposed on the frame 102 of the housing 1 , for the convenience of the player in operating the game device and controlling the opening and closing of the game device.

[0053] The fan assembly 7 and the battery assembly 8 are electrically connected to the power switch 9. The start and stop of the fan assembly 7 are controlled by operating the power switch 9. Among them, the circuit connection relationship of each component is the existing technology and is not described in detail here.

[0054] As an optional embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 As shown, the outer contour of the housing 1 is polygonal, which increases the visual three-dimensional effect to a certain extent compared with the rectangular parallelepiped commonly used in the prior art.

[0055] As an optional embodiment, Figure 2 As shown, support legs 15 are provided at the four corners of the bottom plate 103 , and the height of the support legs 15 is greater than the height of the air inlet grille 10 .

[0056] The design of the legs 15 increases the height of the gaming device and also improves its stability when placed on a flat surface.

[0057] Since the height of the support legs 15 is greater than the height of the air inlet grille 10 , even if the gaming device is placed on a desktop, there is still a gap between the desktop and the bottom plate 103 , ensuring that the fan assembly 7 can smoothly take in air.

[0058] The housing 1 is designed as a desktop type with a compact structure and reasonable design, which makes the game device easy to store and carry, and is suitable for use in various occasions such as home, school, and playground.
