However, after a bowling ball hits a target, the target needs to be manually reset, requiring manpower to manage the machine. Furthermore, the long reset time reduces the game's continuity and degrades the overall gaming experience. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the prior art by providing a target device for a bowling game machine, which has a physical target that can be hit and can automatically reset.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0017] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0018] Example 1
[0019] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a target device for a bowling game machine, including a main support 1, a target assembly 2, and a reset assembly 3; at least one target assembly 2 is fixedly installed on the main support 1; the reset assembly 3 is installed on the main support 1 and located behind the target assembly 2.
[0020] The target assembly 2 includes a base 21, a support 22, a spring 23, and a target body 24. The base 21 is fixedly connected to the main support 1. The top of the support 22 is hinged to the base 21, allowing the support 22 to swing backward around the base 21. A spring 23 is connected between the support 22 and the base 21. The target body 24 is fixedly installed on the front of the support 22.
[0021] The reset assembly 3 includes a motor 31, a connecting rod 32, a main shaft 33, a swing arm 34, and a pusher 35. The motor 31 is fixedly mounted on the main support 1, and a crank 36 is drivenly connected to the motor 31. The two ends of the main shaft 33 are pivotally connected to the main support 1. The same number of swing arms 34 as the target assembly 2 are fixedly connected to the main shaft 33, and the bottom of the swing arm 34 is directly opposite the support body 22. A pusher 35 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the swing arm 34. A swing terminal protrudes from the top of one of the swing arms 34. The end of the crank 36 is connected to one end of the connecting rod 32, and the other end of the connecting rod 32 is connected to the swing terminal.
[0022] This device simulates bowling. Each target assembly 2 can operate independently, becoming an independent shooting target and responding to the player's bowling shot. Initially, the support 22 of the target assembly 2 extends, so that the target 24 faces the player. At this time, the spring 23 is in a stretched state, and the direction of the elastic force is the same as the axis of the support 22, locking the support 22 in the extended position. When the player hits the target 24 with a ball, it causes the support 22 to swing backward under force. The elastic force of the spring 23 causes the support 22 to quickly retract backward, responding to the player's shot.
[0023] When a reset is required, motor 31 drives crank 36 to rotate at a certain angle, which in turn drives the swing terminal to swing via connecting rod 32, thereby causing the swing arm 34 to swing. The push head 35 at the bottom of the swing arm 34 will contact the back side of the support body 22. As the swing arm 34 swings downward, it will cause the support body 22, which is in the retracted state, to extend downward. When the tension of spring 23 is once again in the same direction as the extension direction of support body 22, support body 22 will not retract on its own. At this time, motor 31 reverses, causing the swing arm 34 to rise again, completing one reset cycle.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, in order to realize electronic scoring, the target assembly 2 also includes a first switch 25; the first switch 25 is fixedly installed on the side of the base 21, and a first trigger terminal 26 is fixedly protruding from the side of the support body 22, so that the first trigger terminal 26 and the first switch 25 are triggered when the support body 22 is extended.
[0025] When the support body 22 is in the extended state, the first trigger terminal 26 will trigger the first switch 25 to send a signal. When the corresponding target body 24 is hit, the support body 22 retracts, the first trigger terminal 26 will leave the first switch 25, and the interruption of the signal indicates that the target body 24 has been hit.
[0026] like Figure 4As shown, further, in order to cooperate with the reset action of the reset component 3, preferably, the reset component 3 also includes a second switch 37 and a third switch 38; the second switch 37 is fixedly installed on the back side of the main body bracket 1, so that the second switch 37 is triggered when the swing arm 34 is lowered; the third switch 38 is fixedly installed on the back side of the main body bracket 1, located behind the swing arm 34, so that the third switch 38 is triggered when the swing arm 34 is raised.
[0027] In the initial state, to prevent the reset component 3 from affecting the movement of the target component 2, the swing arm 34 of the reset component 3 is in the retracted state, at which time the swing arm 34 triggers the third switch 38. When a round of the game ends and a reset is required, the swing arm 34 swings down, triggering the second switch 37 and sending a feedback signal indicating that the reset of the target component 2 has been completed, and the motor 31 stops rotating. Then the motor 31 reverses, driving the swing arm 34 to rise again, until the swing arm 34 triggers the second switch 37 again, indicating that the swing arm 34 has returned to its initial position.
[0028] Preferably, the spring 23 is connected to the seat 21 and the support 22 by pins, wherein the support 22 has a plurality of pin holes 27 arranged axially, and the pin at the bottom end of the spring 23 is inserted into one of the pin holes 27 of the support 22.
[0029] During the adjustment process, the bottom end of spring 23 can be fixed with a suitable pin hole 27 to adjust the degree of tension of spring 23. The longer the tension, the greater the elastic force, and the faster the support body 22 retracts after the target 24 is hit. Conversely, the shorter the tension, the slower the retraction. This adjustment structure can also adapt to the performance differences of individual springs 23.
[0030] This utility model provides a target device for a bowling game machine, featuring a physical target 24 that responds to bowling ball shots, providing a realistic impact feel and optimizing the gaming experience. The target 24 can be automatically reset via a reset component 3, enabling functions such as automatic scoring.
[0031] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
