Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of toys, in particular to a claw machine. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, claw machines consist of a turntable, a control assembly, and a push-up mechanism. The turntable is equipped with multiple trays for supporting objects.

[0045] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the present invention but are not used to limit the scope of the present invention.

[0046] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc., indicating orientations or positional relationships, are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they cannot be understood as limitations on the present invention.

[0047] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified or limited, the terms "mounted" and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; mechanical connections, electrical connections; and direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediary. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of these terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0048] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a claw machine, including: a shell 1, a blanking mechanism, a control circuit board, a manipulation component 4 and a turntable simulation component 5. The shell 1 has a cavity, an upper opening 11 and a discharge port 12, and the upper opening 11 and the discharge port 12 are both connected to the cavity. The blanking mechanism includes a tray 2 and a locking component 3, the tray 2 is located in the upper opening 11, the tray 2 is swingably arranged in the shell 1, the locking component 3 is arranged in the shell, and the tray 2 has a dumping state and a supporting state. In the supporting state, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the locking assembly 3 and the tray 2 are locked together, and the tray 2 can support objects. When the locking assembly 3 unlocks the tray 2, the tray 2 swings to a dumped state, and the objects on the tray 2 fall into the cavity. The control circuit board is electrically connected to the locking assembly 3. The operating assembly 4 is connected to the control circuit board. The turntable simulation assembly 5 is arranged on the shell, and the turntable simulation assembly 5 is electrically connected to the control circuit board. The turntable simulation assembly 5 includes a plurality of lamp beads, and each of the lamp beads is arranged in sequence along the edge of the upper opening 11 at intervals, and each of the lamp beads is used to light up in sequence under the control of the control circuit board. Each of the lamp beads includes a target position light, and the target position light corresponds to the tray 2.

[0049] The control circuit board can control each indicator light to light up or change color in sequence. When the target position light is lit or changes color, the control circuit board can immediately control the locking component 3 to unlock the tray 2 corresponding to the target position light when it receives the instruction sent by the control component 4.

[0050] like Figure 1 As shown, the control component 4 can be a button for inputting a trigger instruction to the control circuit board. When the button is pressed, and the target position light is on or switches color, the control circuit board controls the locking component 3 to unlock the tray 2 corresponding to the target position light. Otherwise, the locking component 3 does not unlock the tray 2, and the tray 2 remains in the supported state.

[0051] The number of trays 2 can be two or more, and the number of target position lights is equal to the number of trays 2 and corresponds one to one.

[0052] It should be noted that the control circuit board of this application may include an IC chip. An IC chip (Integrated Circuit Chip) is an integrated circuit formed by placing a large number of microelectronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) on a plastic substrate to form a chip. Program code written into the chip enables the chip's functions, enabling it to control the turntable simulation component 5 to execute the aforementioned program for sequentially lighting or changing the colors of the indicator lights. This application seeks to protect the structural design of the turntable simulation component 5 in the claw machine, not the corresponding program.

[0053] The claw machine of the present application does not use a complex driving mechanism 33 to drive the turntable to rotate, but simulates the effect of the turntable rotation through a turntable simulation component 5 composed of multiple lamp beads, which reduces the mechanical transmission structure in the claw machine, reduces mechanical failures, and extends the life of the claw machine.

[0054] The objects may be plush toys, dolls, food, fruit or other structural parts.

[0055] In some possible implementations, the target position light is the closest lamp bead to the corresponding tray 2. The target position light represents the corresponding tray 2. By controlling the lamp beads to light up or switch colors in sequence, the rotation of the turntable in the existing claw machine is simulated, causing each tray 2 to move sequentially past the ejection mechanism.

[0056] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the turntable simulation component 5 includes a strip circuit board, which extends along the edge of the upper opening 11. Each of the lamp beads is arranged on the strip circuit board, and each of the lamp beads is arranged in sequence along the length direction of the strip circuit board.

[0057] The turntable simulation component 5 includes a plurality of strip circuit boards 52 , each of which is sequentially arranged along the circumference of the upper opening 11 . The strip circuit boards 52 cooperate to form a ring-shaped strip circuit board 52 , simulating the structure of a turntable in the prior art.

[0058] In some possible embodiments, the housing 1 has a countertop shell 13 and a main shell 14, the countertop shell 13 is connected to the main shell 14, and the cavity is formed between the countertop shell 13 and the main shell 14. The upper opening 11 is provided on the countertop shell 13, and at least part of the turntable simulation component (such as a strip circuit board) is located in the cavity and connected to the countertop shell 13. The countertop shell 13 is provided with a light-transmitting hole 131 corresponding to each of the lamp beads. Figure 7 As shown, the light emitted by each lamp bead can pass through the light-transmitting hole 131, so that the player can clearly see the light-emitting status of each lamp bead.

[0059] In some possible implementation schemes, the turntable simulation component 5 of the claw machine includes a lampshade 51, which is located on the side of the table shell 13 away from the cavity. The lampshade 51 covers each of the light-transmitting holes 131. The lampshade 51 can not only protect each lamp bead, but also cover each lamp bead, which is conducive to softening the light of the lamp bead, preventing glare, and improving comfort.

[0060] In some possible embodiments, such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the tray 2 includes a tray shell 21 and a connecting arm 22 connected to the tray shell 21. The locking assembly 3 includes a shell and a movable locking tongue 32 provided on the shell. The connecting arm 22 is hinged to the shell and is provided with a locking engagement portion 221. In the supported state, the movable locking tongue 32 moves to the side close to the cavity, and the movable locking tongue 32 and the locking engagement portion 221 are locked and engaged. When the locking assembly 3 unlocks the tray 2, the movable locking tongue 32 moves to the side away from the cavity, causing the locking engagement portion 221 to disengage from the movable locking tongue 32, and the tray 2 swings to the tilted state. In the supported state, the tray 2 is generally horizontal, and the inner side can stably hold objects. When the tray 2 tilts, the objects fall into the cavity under the action of gravity.

[0061] like Figure 4 As shown, the locking fitting portion 221 can be a triangular protrusion, and the movable locking tongue 32 is also provided with a triangular protrusion. In the supported state, the triangular protrusion on the movable locking tongue 32 is limited above the locking fitting portion 221, so that the tray 2 will not fall over.

[0062] In the supported state, the center of gravity of the tray 2 is located on one side of the tray shell 21. Therefore, when the locking fitting portion 221 disengages from the movable locking tongue 32, the tray 2 will rotate under the action of gravity, causing one side of the tray shell 21 to drop and tilt toward the bottom side of the upper opening 11.

[0063] In some possible implementations, the locking engagement portion 221 and the tray shell 21 are located on opposite sides of the connecting arm 22. When the locking assembly 3 unlocks the tray 2, the tray 2 rotates to the tilted position under the weight of the tray shell 21. The heavy tray shell 21 tends to tilt downward on one side in the absence of external force.

[0064] In some possible embodiments, such as Figures 4 to 6As shown, the locking assembly 3 includes a driving mechanism 33 and an elastic member 34. The elastic member 34 is arranged between the movable lock tongue 32 and the shell. The driving mechanism 33 is arranged in the shell. The driving mechanism 33 and the movable lock tongue 32 are in transmission cooperation. The driving mechanism 33 can drive the movable lock tongue 32 to move to the side away from the cavity, compressing the elastic member 34 to unlock the tray 2. In the supporting state, the elastic member 34 restores its deformation, and the movable lock tongue 32 moves to the side close to the cavity, and the movable lock tongue 32 is locked with the tray 2.

[0065] In some possible embodiments, the driving mechanism 33 includes a motor 331, a gear 332 and an eccentric wheel 333. The movable lock tongue 32 has an extrusion platform 321. The motor 331 and the gear 332 are in transmission cooperation. For example, the rotating shaft of the motor 331 is connected to the driving gear 3311. The driving gear 3311 and the gear 332 are meshed. The gear 332 and the eccentric wheel 333 rotate in cooperation. The eccentric wheel 333 has an eccentric column. The motor 331 drives the gear 332 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 332 drives the eccentric wheel 333 to rotate. The eccentric column on the eccentric wheel 333 pushes the extrusion platform 321, so that the movable lock tongue 32 moves away from the cavity and compresses the elastic member 34. When the eccentric wheel 333 rotates until the eccentric column disengages from the extrusion platform 321, the elastic member 34 restores its deformation and pushes the movable lock tongue 32 to move toward one side of the cavity. The cavity is located below the upper opening 11.

The preferred embodiments do not describe all details in detail, nor do they limit the present application to the specific embodiments described. Obviously, many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification.
