Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of anti-theft flip doors, specifically relating to an automatic anti-theft flip door for amusement equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of amusement equipment, the structure of the cabinet doors used for picking up goods generally has many defects. Traditional inward-pushing cabinet doors have poor anti-theft performance. After the cabinet door is closed, there are still large gaps, which makes prizes, gifts and other items at risk of being stolen, causing economic losses to the operators.

[0003] On the other hand, its automation level is low, and players need to operate manually when picking up goods, which is inconvenient and inefficient. It cannot respond to the situation of items falling in time, which affects the player experience.

[0004] Furthermore, due to structural limitations, the push-in door cannot be opened properly if the gift is slightly large. In addition, traditional doors are prone to pinching children who accidentally put their hands into the edge of the box during closing, posing a serious safety hazard.

[0005] For example, the patent document published with publication number CN116597572A, entitled "Anti-theft and Anti-pinch Hand Injury Method for a Retrieval Box," is also intended to prevent theft of items, but it uses a retractable gate, which is less effective. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides an automatic anti-theft flip door for amusement equipment, which solves the problems of traditional push-in doors. After the door is closed, there is still a large gap, which makes prizes and gifts at risk of being stolen. In addition, the automation level is low, and players need to operate it manually when retrieving the goods, which is inconvenient and inefficient. Due to structural limitations, if the gift placed in the push-in door is slightly large, the door cannot be pushed open normally. Furthermore, traditional doors are very easy to pinch children who accidentally put their hands into the edge of the retrieval box during the closing process, which poses a serious safety hazard.

[0007] One embodiment of this utility model provides an automatic anti-theft flip door for amusement equipment, comprising:

[0008] Pickup box;

[0009] An opening and closing assembly is disposed on the pickup box;

[0010] A door assembly, wherein the door assembly is disposed on the opening and closing assembly;

[0011] A detection component is disposed on the pickup box;

[0012] The opening and closing component is used to drive the door component to open and close in a flip-type manner. The door component is used to block the drop-out opening of the pickup box after opening and closing. The detection component is used to detect the environment inside and outside the pickup box.

[0013] This utility model discloses an automatic anti-theft flip door for amusement equipment. An opening and closing assembly drives the door assembly to open and close. During opening and closing, the door assembly blocks the drop-off opening of the retrieval box, effectively achieving anti-theft functionality. A detection assembly detects whether any items have fallen into the retrieval box. If an item is detected, a command is sent to the opening and closing assembly to open the door assembly. Once the item is removed, the door assembly closes, achieving automatic opening and closing. Furthermore, the detection assembly also detects whether any person or foreign object is inserted into the edge of the retrieval box. If a foreign object is detected, the door will not close and an alarm will sound, effectively preventing children from accidentally entering the retrieval box and providing a good anti-theft effect. The door assembly opens and closes by tilting at an angle (see the instruction manual for details). Compared to traditional inward-pushing doors, it can accommodate a larger volume of gifts, as inward-pushing doors cannot open if the items are large, and require increased internal space during manufacturing.

[0014] In one embodiment, the pickup box has a pickup opening and a drop-off opening.

[0015] In one embodiment, the opening and closing assembly includes a drive unit, a movable frame, and two sets of transverse slide rails.

[0016] In one embodiment, the drive component is fixedly mounted on the pickup box.

[0017] In one embodiment, one end of the movable frame is rotatably mounted on the output end of the drive member.

[0018] In one embodiment, the two sets of transverse slide rails are fixedly mounted on the pickup box;

[0019] The movable frame is symmetrically equipped with pulleys, and the movable frame is slidably connected to one of the transverse slide rails through the pulleys.

[0020] In one embodiment, the door assembly includes a door and a vertical slide rail;

[0021] Two sets of rollers are symmetrically and rotatably arranged on the box door. One set of rollers rotatably connects the box door to the movable frame and slides with one of the transverse slide rails that is not connected to the movable frame.

[0022] The vertical slide rails are symmetrically arranged on the pickup box;

[0023] Another set of rollers is slidably connected to the two vertical slide rails.

[0024] In one embodiment, the detection component includes a first detection element and a second detection element;

[0025] The first detection element is symmetrically arranged on the pickup box;

[0026] The second detection element is symmetrically arranged on the pickup box and located at the edge of the pickup box.

[0027] In one embodiment, the detection ends of both the first detection element and the second detection element are located inside the pickup box.

[0028] In one embodiment, the door assembly includes an open / closed state and a closed state;

[0029] When the door assembly is in the open / closed state, the door assembly is located below the discharge port;

[0030] When the door assembly is in the closed state, the door assembly is located on one side of the retrieval port.

[0031] The automatic anti-theft flip door for amusement equipment provided by the above technical solution has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. The opening and closing components drive the door components to open and close in a flip-type manner. When opening and closing, the door components accurately block the drop-out opening of the retrieval box, greatly reducing the potential theft channel. Compared with the disadvantages of traditional inward-pushing door which has a large gap after closing and is easily opened by external force, this utility model effectively reduces the risk of prizes and gifts being stolen and effectively protects the economic interests of the operator.

[0033] 2. The detection component and the opening and closing component work together. The first detection component monitors in real time whether there are any dropped items in the pickup box. Once an item is detected, it quickly sends a command to the opening and closing component to automatically open the box door component. After the player takes the item, the box door can be closed in time. The whole process does not require manual operation by the player, which greatly improves the efficiency of picking up goods and the smoothness of the player experience. It overcomes the problems of inconvenience of manual operation of traditional box doors and inability to respond to dropped items in time.

[0034] 3. The door assembly features a unique angle-flipping opening design. Compared to traditional inward-pushing doors, which are structurally limited and cannot be opened with slightly larger gifts, this new design can easily accommodate larger gifts. This not only gives operators greater freedom in gift selection but also avoids the awkward situation where players are hindered from retrieving their goods due to gift size limitations. It eliminates the need to deliberately enlarge the internal space of the retrieval box to accommodate the inward-pushing door, thus optimizing the overall space utilization efficiency of the equipment.

[0035] 4. The second detection component focuses on detecting the edge of the pickup box, effectively detecting whether a child accidentally puts their hand inside or other foreign objects approach. Upon detecting any abnormality, it immediately prevents the box door from closing and simultaneously sounds an alarm, eliminating the possibility of pinching injuries at the source. This creates a safe and worry-free pickup environment for players, especially children, and fills the safety gaps in traditional box doors regarding foreign object detection and pinch prevention.

[0036] 5. The drive unit, movable frame, horizontal slide rail, and rollers and vertical slide rails of the door assembly work together seamlessly. The drive unit, as the power source, moves the movable frame, which slides smoothly on the horizontal slide rail with the help of pulleys. Simultaneously, one end of the door rotates and moves along the horizontal and vertical slide rails, achieving smooth opening and closing of the door. This structural design not only ensures the precise execution of the door opening and closing action but also has high stability and durability, reducing daily maintenance costs and the failure rate, providing strong support for the long-term stable operation of the amusement equipment.

[0082] It should be noted that after pulling the door 310, because the rollers 321 on the door 310 are all connected to it for rotation, when one end of the door 310 is pulled by the movable frame 220, the rollers 321 on the other end of the door 310 are slidably connected to the vertical slide rail 320, so that the door 310 is opened by flipping and will not get stuck. This is explained here.

[0083] The working principle of this utility model:

[0084] The opening and closing component 200 drives the door component 300 to open and close. When opening and closing, the door component 300 blocks the drop-out opening 120 of the retrieval box 100, thus effectively achieving the anti-theft function. The detection component 400 detects whether any items have fallen into the retrieval box 100. If an item is detected, a command is sent to the opening and closing component 200 to open the door component 300. Once the item has been removed, the door component 300 closes, achieving automatic opening and closing. The detection component 400 also detects the retrieval... If a person or foreign object is found to be inserted into the edge of the cargo box 100, the door 310 will not close and an alarm will sound.
