Detailed Implementation

[0028] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] like Figures 1-8As shown, this embodiment provides a coin pusher game machine, including a coin storage bin 21 for storing game coins, a carrier 3 above the coin pusher body 1, the carrier 3 running along a set track 4, the carrier 3 having a coin-carrying part 5, a reward coin opening 61 located above one side of the track 4, a first coin-loading unit 71 that transports game coins from the coin storage bin 21 to the reward coin opening 61, a coin-unloading opening 62 located on one side of the track 4, and a coin-unloading mechanism. When the coin-carrying part 5 reaches the coin-unloading opening 62, the action end of the coin-unloading mechanism acts on the coin-carrying part 5 to tilt the game coins into the coin-unloading opening 62. A circuit board 9 is electrically connected to the carrier 3, the first coin-loading unit 71, and the coin-unloading mechanism. This embodiment incorporates dynamic interactive elements, specifically in the design of the vehicle. This vehicle not only runs along a preset track, increasing the visual tracking fun of the game, but also has a coin-carrying section to hold game coins. This design makes the display and distribution of game coins flexible and varied. More importantly, a reward coin slot and a first coin-loading unit are added. The first coin-loading unit is responsible for accurately delivering game coins from the coin storage bin to the reward coin slot. This function not only enriches the game reward mechanism but also allows reward coins to be released at specific times (such as when a player achieves a specific game achievement), enhancing the game's surprise and interactivity. Furthermore, the solution cleverly incorporates a coin-unloading mechanism and a coin-dropping slot. When the coin-carrying section reaches the coin-dropping slot, the coin-unloading mechanism quickly activates, causing the game coins in the coin-carrying section to pour out. This process is not only accompanied by dynamic visual effects but also enhances the player's sense of participation and immersion through the directness of physical operation. All these components are controlled by a circuit board, ensuring a smooth and intelligent gaming experience. The electrical connection between the circuit board and the vehicle, the first coin loading unit, and the coin unloading mechanism enables precise synchronization between game logic and physical actions. This adds more dynamic and interactive game elements to the traditional combination of lights and music, greatly enriching the gaming experience and creatively breaking through the limitations of the single function of traditional coin pusher games.

[0030] Preferably, the system also includes an intermediate coin storage bin 22 and a second coin loading unit 72. The second coin loading unit 72 transports game coins from the coin storage bin 21 to the intermediate coin storage bin 22, while the first coin loading unit 71 transports game coins from the intermediate coin storage bin 22 to the reward coin slot 61. The circuit board 9 and the second coin loading unit 72 are electrically connected. The intermediate coin storage bin serves as a buffer for game coins, allowing the game operator to flexibly adjust the amount of reward coins released based on the game rhythm and player performance. The second coin loading unit is responsible for transporting game coins from the coin storage bin to the intermediate coin storage bin; this process can be controlled by the circuit board for automated management. This design makes game rewards more flexible and varied, providing an appropriate amount of game coins in the early stages of the game to attract players, and releasing a large number of reward coins at crucial moments to stimulate player interest and participation. Furthermore, through precise control of the second coin loading unit by the circuit board, the game operator can design more complex reward mechanisms, such as extra rewards after consecutive scores or grand prizes triggered by specific combinations. These greatly enrich the game experience and enhance the game's attractiveness and competitiveness.

[0031] Preferably, the system also includes a coin dispenser slide 11, which connects the reward coin slot 61 and the output of the first coin loading unit 71. When the reward coin slot releases game coins, they slide down the coin dispenser slide, a process accompanied by a crisp sound and dynamic visual effects, providing players with additional sensory enjoyment.

[0032] Preferably, the coin-unloading mechanism includes a coin-unloading rod 81 and a coin-unloading motor 82. The output end of the coin-unloading motor 82 is connected to the coin-unloading rod 81, which is located on one side of the coin outlet 62. The coin-unloading motor 82 is electrically connected to the circuit board 9. The coin-unloading motor, as a power source, can precisely adjust the up-and-down movement of the coin-unloading rod through circuit board control, thereby achieving precise dumping of the game coins in the coin-carrying section. The location of the coin-unloading rod on one side of the coin outlet ensures the stability and accuracy of the game coins during the dumping process. This optimized solution not only improves the smoothness and fun of the game but also reduces the failure rate caused by inaccurate coin dumping, improving the overall performance of the game machine and the user experience. Furthermore, through precise control of the coin-unloading motor via the circuit board, game operators can design more complex game mechanisms, such as adjusting the dumping speed and frequency based on player actions or game progress, further enhancing the interactivity and strategic depth of the game. Specifically, the carrier 3 includes a base 31, which is hinged to the coin-carrying section 5. A coin-unloading plate 51 is located on the side of the coin-carrying section 5 facing the coin-unloading rod 81. The coin-unloading motor 82 drives the coin-unloading rod 81 to move up and down, acting on one end of the coin-unloading plate 51, causing the coin-carrying section 5 to tilt towards the coin opening 62. The coin-carrying section is connected to the base via a hinge, allowing it to tilt towards the coin opening under the action of the coin-unloading rod, thus smoothly pouring the game coins. The design of the coin-unloading plate further optimizes the coin-pouring process. It is located on the side of the coin-carrying section facing the coin-unloading rod. When the coin-unloading rod acts on one end of the coin-unloading plate, the coin-carrying section tilts towards the coin opening along the hinge point, ensuring that the game coins accurately fall into the coin opening.

[0033] Preferably, a photoelectric detector 12 is provided on one side of the coin slot 62, and the photoelectric detector 12 is electrically connected to the circuit board 9. The photoelectric detector, using high-precision photoelectric sensing technology, can monitor and provide real-time feedback on the relative position information between the coin-carrying section and the coin slot. During the operation of the coin pusher game machine, when the coin-carrying section, carrying the game coin, moves along the track to the vicinity of the coin slot, the photoelectric detector quickly captures the precise position of the coin-carrying section and transmits this information to the circuit board for processing. The circuit board then precisely controls the coin-unloading motor or related drive mechanism based on the feedback from the photoelectric detector, ensuring that the coin-carrying section can be accurately positioned at the coin slot for coin unloading.

[0034] Preferably, the vehicle 3 includes several carriages 32. In this embodiment, two carriages are provided, one for a reward of 50 game coins and the other for a reward of 100 game coins. The carriages, acting as the coin carriers, can run along a preset track and carry game coins for display and distribution. By increasing or decreasing the number and type of carriages, the game operator can flexibly adjust the game mechanics according to game needs and player preferences. For example, different types of carriages can be designed to carry different quantities or types of game coins, or carriages with special functions can be designed to trigger additional reward mechanisms. This optimization not only enriches the gaming experience but also enhances the playability and attractiveness of the game machine.

[0035] Preferably, six coin pusher machines 1 are arranged symmetrically in a central configuration, with the coin outlets 62 of each machine located on one side of the track 4. This symmetrical arrangement of the six machines creates a compact and layered game area. Players can freely choose different machines within this area and develop their own strategies by observing other players' actions and performance. This optimization not only enhances the game's fun and challenge but also promotes communication and interaction among players. Furthermore, the symmetrical distribution makes the game machine visually more aesthetically pleasing and unified, increasing its overall appeal and market competitiveness.

[0036] Preferably, a castle model 13 is positioned above the coin pusher 1, and the vehicle 3 is located inside the castle model 13. As part of the game scene, the castle model can be integrated with the game theme and story background, providing players with a game environment full of mystery and adventure. The vehicle operating inside the castle model not only increases the visual tracking fun of the game but also makes the display and distribution of game coins more vivid and interesting. This optimization not only enhances the game's appeal and competitiveness but also stimulates players' imagination and desire for exploration.
