Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of game machine equipment, in particular to a pinball machine tray lifting mechanism. Background Art
[0002] In a pinball machine, marbles are launched through a catapult, allowing the marbles to knock down figurines or enter winning holes to obtain corresponding scores. After the game is over, the marbles in the winning holes need to be ejected through a tray lifting mechanism to facilitate the summary of the scores and the collection of the ejected marbles for subsequent use.
[0003] According to a pinball game machine disclosed in Chinese patent publication number CN220933563U, the ejection force of the pinballs can be controlled by a manual ball beater to control the pinballs to roll into different scoring slots. Points can be obtained by combining different scoring slots, which provides better game fun and further enhances its entertainment value.
[0004] However, this patent still has certain shortcomings in actual use. Like a conventional pinball game machine, this patent also uses a single axis of the first drive device to directly drive the lifting plate to move, and then the marbles in the corresponding scoring slot are ejected through the first push column. However, due to the large area of the lifting plate, it is easy to slow down during the frequent rising and falling process, which will cause the marbles or the first push column to deviate during the process of pushing the marbles, and then the marbles are likely to get stuck in the scoring slot, affecting the actual use experience. At the same time, maintenance is also required. In this regard, the present application is based on the optimization of the marble ejection structure in the pinball machine, and provides a pinball machine tray lifting mechanism to solve the above problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0024] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0025] See also Figures 1 to 4 The utility model provides a technical solution: a pinball machine tray lifting mechanism, comprising a pinball game board 1, a plurality of game scoring slots 2 being provided on the top of the pinball game board 1, a main bracket 3 being fixedly mounted on the bottom of the pinball game board 1, and a lifting assembly 400 being mounted on the outer side of the main bracket 3; through the coordinated use of the game scoring slots 2 at the bottom of the pinball game board 1, the main bracket 3 and the lifting assembly 400, the pinballs can be ejected more smoothly and stably, making the pushing process of the pinballs more stable and less prone to shaking, thereby greatly reducing the probability of the pinballs getting stuck, facilitating comfortable entertainment use by users, reducing the frequency of repair and maintenance, saving a certain amount of labor, and effectively improving the practicality of the pinball machine tray lifting mechanism.
[0026] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 400 is a structure for ejecting marbles smoothly and stably.
[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the lifting assembly 400 includes a sub-bracket 401 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the main bracket 3, a mounting block 402 fixed on the inner bottom wall of the sub-bracket 401, a servo motor 403 fixedly mounted on the front of the mounting block 402, a transmission plate 404 fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the servo motor 403, a transmission plate 405 rotatably connected to the transmission plate 404 away from the servo motor 403 through a rotating shaft, a touch switch 406 fixedly mounted on the back of the mounting block 402, a limit seat 407 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the main bracket 3, three linear bearings 408 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the limit seat 407, a transmission shaft 409 passing through and slidably connected to the inner side of the linear bearing 408, a fixing plate 410 fixed between the bottom ends of the three transmission shafts 409, a lifting tray 411 fixed between the top ends of the three transmission shafts 409, and a plurality of lifting columns 412 fixed on the top of the lifting tray 411.
[0028] It should be noted that if Figure 4 As shown, the number of game scoring slots 2 is equal to the number of jacking columns 412, the height of the jacking columns 412 is greater than the thickness of the game scoring slots 2, the jacking columns 412 are inserted into the inner side of the corresponding game scoring slots 2, and the jacking columns 412 are always located on the inner side of the corresponding game scoring slots 2. Specifically, the jacking columns 412 are located at the bottom of the inner side of the corresponding game scoring slots 2 when not ejected. At this time, the distance between the top of the jacking columns 412 and the top of the inner side of the game scoring slots 2 is greater than the diameter of the marbles, so that the marbles can be normally confined to the inner side of the corresponding game scoring slots 2 under the lifting action of the jacking columns 412, and when ejecting, the jacking columns 412 can effectively eject the marbles inside the corresponding game scoring slots 2.
[0029] In addition, the output shaft of the servo motor 403 passes through the front of the mounting block 402, the transmission plate 404 is located on the back side of the mounting block 402, and the transmission plate 405 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the back of the transmission plate 404, so that the servo motor 403 can drive the transmission plate 404 to rotate when it rotates, and then drive the outer transmission plate 405 to rotate.
[0030] At the same time, the touch switch 406 can abut against the outer side of the transmission plate 405. The touch switch 406 can also be a proximity switch or a limit switch or other switching device that can send a signal after contact, so that the servo motor 403 can be controlled to stop after the transmission plate 405 and the touch switch 406 are in contact, so that the marbles can be ejected and then fall normally.
[0031] In addition, the top end of the transmission shaft 409 passes through the corresponding linear bearing 408, the limit seat 407 and the bottom of the main bracket 3 in sequence. The lifting tray 411 is located on the inner side of the main bracket 3. The back side of the fixed plate 410 is rotatably connected to the transmission plate 405 through the rotating shaft, so that the transmission plate 405 can be rotatably connected to the fixed plate 410. When the transmission plate 405 is driven to move under the rotation of the transmission plate 404, the fixed plate 410 can be pushed or pulled by the rotation of the top end of the transmission plate 405, thereby allowing the lifting tray 411 to move up and down.
[0032] It should also be noted that the pinball game board 1, the main bracket 3 and the lifting assembly 400 are all installed inside the pinball machine for use, and are the existing publicly available internal installation structure of the pinball machine, so no further details will be given.
[0033] The working principle of the above embodiment is:
[0034] When it is necessary to eject the marbles in the game scoring slot 2, the servo motor 403 is started to drive the transmission plate 404 to rotate, so that the transmission plate 405 is driven to move, and then the fixed plate 410 is lifted linearly through the transmission plate 405 under the sliding cooperation between the three linear bearings 408 and the transmission shaft 409, so that the three transmission shafts 409 can lift the lifting tray 411 smoothly and stably, so that the lifting column 412 slides on the inner side of the corresponding game scoring slot 2, and then the marbles in the corresponding game scoring slot 2 are ejected, completing the ejection and recovery of the marbles.
[0035] Compared with the prior art, the pinball machine tray lifting mechanism, through the coordinated use of the game scoring slot 2 at the bottom of the pinball game board 1, the main bracket 3 and the lifting assembly 400, can eject the marbles more smoothly and stably, making the pushing process of the marbles more stable and less prone to shaking, thereby greatly reducing the probability of marbles getting stuck, facilitating users to enjoy entertainment comfortably, reducing the frequency of repair and maintenance, and saving a certain amount of labor, thereby effectively improving the practicality of the pinball machine tray lifting mechanism and solving the problem of marbles getting stuck easily due to slow movement during actual use of the existing pinball machine tray lifting mechanism.
