The lower part of the score grooves 112 is provided with a first trigger switch 113, so that when the marble falls into the score groove 112, the corresponding first trigger switch 113 can be triggered.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , the marble launching device 3 includes a pull rod 31 and an elastic member. The outer shell 1 is provided with a launching member mounting hole at the bottom of the launching groove 111. The pull rod 31 and the elastic member are mounted in the launching member mounting hole. When launching, the elastic member inside can be elastically deformed by pulling the pull rod 31, so that the marble placed on the pull rod 31 is launched along the launching groove 111.
[0027] More preferably, the outer shell is also provided with an audible and light device 5, and the audible and light device 5 is electrically connected with the first trigger switch 113, so that when the marble falls into the score groove 112 with different scores, different sound and light effects can be triggered.
[0028] The elastic member in the embodiment is a spring, of course, the present solution is not limited to this, any conventional means for launching marbles by deformation or non-deformation, such as rubber, metal spring, tension spring, etc. should fall within the protection scope of the present solution.
[0029] More preferably, please refer to Figure 1 , the outer shell 1 is provided with a basket frame 4 for receiving marbles at the marble output port 117.
[0030] It needs to be supplemented that the first trigger switch 113 located on different score grooves 112 has different scores in the embodiment, and the score refers to the number of marbles returned after the marble falls into the score groove 112.
[0031] As Figure 3(A) Figure 3 As shown in (B), the marble conveying device 2 includes a conveying chamber 21 and a lifting device 22. The conveying device 21 includes a first input pipe 211, a second input pipe 212 and a first output pipe 213. The first input pipe 211 is connected to the marble collection port 114, the second input pipe 212 is connected to the marble adding port 116, and the first output pipe 213 is connected to the marble output port 117.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 3 (C), Figure 4 The top position of the lifting screw 222 is provided with a second trigger switch 2222, the second trigger switch 2222 is electrically connected to the driving motor 2211, so that the driving motor 2211 can be controlled to reverse when the lifting platform 223 reaches the top of the lifting screw 222, and the lifting platform 223 can be reset.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 3 The lifting platform 223 is provided with a platform opening facing the outlet of the slide, the platform opening is provided with a switch valve 2231, the switch valve 2231 can open and close the platform opening, so as to control the number of marbles entering the lifting platform 223.
[0040] The bottom of the lifting screw 222 is provided with a third trigger switch 2223, the third trigger switch 2223 is electrically connected to the switch valve 2231, so as to control the opening and closing time of the switch valve, and the number of marbles entering the lifting platform.
[0041] Specifically, the switch valve 2231 of the embodiment includes a valve piece 2232, a valve groove 2233 and a lifting assembly 2234, the valve groove 2233 is arranged on both sides of the outlet of the slide, the valve piece has a baffle, the lifting assembly can drive the baffle to rise and fall in the valve groove, so as to open and close the opening of the lifting platform 223.
[0042] It should be noted that the lifting assembly can be various, specifically it can be a screw or a small air cylinder, a lifting rod, since such lifting assembly is a conventional structure and is also common in the field of such toys, and is not the focus of the present application, therefore it will not be described here.
[0043] Of course, the above embodiments only illustrate the technical concept and characteristics of the present application, and the purpose is to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of the present application and to implement it, and cannot limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification made in accordance with the spirit and essence of the main technical solution of the present application should be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
