[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a cue storage rack for an unattended billiard hall, comprising: a control console 1, wherein an IC card identification module and a control circuit board are installed inside the control console 1, a control panel 2 is installed on the upper surface of the control console 1, and cue storage mechanisms 3 are connected in an array on the right side of the control console 1. The cue storage mechanism 3 includes a hollow shell 31 with an open front surface, an entry slot 32 is provided at the upper end of the shell 31, a bottom fixing groove 33 is provided at the lower end of the shell 31, and a sliding groove 34 is provided at the upper end of the shell 31. A limiting fixing plate 35 with a groove is inserted and connected inside the sliding groove 34, and an electric telescopic rod 36 is connected between the front end of the limiting fixing plate 35 and the front end of the sliding groove 34. The diameter of the front end of the groove inside the limiting fixing plate 35 is larger than the diameter of the rear end, and the electric telescopic rod 36 is electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0025] When using the device, obtain a personal IC card and operate it on the control panel 1. Select a fixed storage location through the control panel 2, place the IC card in the identification area at the rear right side of the control panel 2, and set a password. When using the device, enter the location number on the control panel 2, followed by the password, or place the personal IC card in the identification area. The program set on the control circuit board will then identify the device. After successful identification, the corresponding numbered storage mechanism 3 will be activated. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 36 inside the storage mechanism 3 will extend, pushing the limiting fixing plate 35 forward inside the slide groove 34. At this time, the position of the slot inside the limiting fixing plate 35 will coincide with the position of the entry slot 32, allowing the cue to be removed. When storing the cue, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 36 will retract, pulling the limiting fixing plate 35 back. The end with the smaller slot diameter will be inside the entry slot 32, preventing the cue from being removed.
[0026] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the upper ends of the slot 32 and the fixing groove 33 are both chamfered, and the inside of the grooves that enter the slot 32, the fixing groove 33 and the limiting fixing plate 35 are all connected with sponge pads.
[0027] Analysis of the above structure shows that the chamfers at the upper ends of the slot 32 and the fixing groove 33 not only facilitate the insertion of the cue stick, but also prevent the edges from hitting the cue stick and causing damage. The sponge pads connected to the grooves inside the slot 32, the fixing groove 33 and the limiting fixing plate 35 can further reduce the damage to the cue stick at the edges.
[0028] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, photoelectric sensors 21 are installed inside the front and rear sides of the internal groove of the limiting fixing plate 35, and the photoelectric sensors 21 are electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0029] Analysis of the above structure shows that when the cue is removed, there is no obstruction between the receiving end and the transmitting end of the photoelectric sensor 21. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 21 will send an electrical signal to the control circuit board. Three seconds later, the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 36 retracts to prevent others from accidentally storing it.
[0030] like Figure 1-5 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, a position indicator light 22 is installed on the upper end of the front surface of the housing 31, and the position indicator light 22 is electrically connected to the control circuit board.
[0031] Analysis of the above structure shows that after the customer confirms that they want to retrieve the pole, the position indicator light 22 at the top of the front surface of the corresponding pole storage mechanism 3 will light up to make it easier for the customer to retrieve the pole.
[0032] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the upper surface of the outer shell 31 and the rear end of the slot 32 are marked with a number plate.
[0033] Analysis of the above structure shows that the numbered signs are marked on the top surface to make it easier for customers to find them.
[0034] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, the diameter of the entry slot 32 and the front end of the groove inside the limiting fixing plate 35 are the same and larger than the maximum diameter of the cue stick. After the electric telescopic rod 36 is retracted, the distance between the rear end of the groove inside the limiting fixing plate 35 and the rear end of the entry slot 32 is larger than the diameter of the middle section of the cue stick.
[0035] Analysis of the above structure shows that the diameter of the front end of the slot inside the slot 32 and the limiting plate 35 is the same and larger than the maximum diameter of the cue stick, which facilitates the insertion of the cue stick. After the electric telescopic rod 36 is retracted, the distance between the rear end of the slot inside the limiting plate 35 and the rear end of the slot 32 is larger than the diameter of the middle section of the cue stick, which prevents cue sticks of different sizes from being stuck by the limiting plate 35 and the slot 32 after they are stored in.
[0036] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides an implementation method. Based on the above implementation method, after the electric telescopic rod 36 is retracted, the center of the inner rear end slot of the limiting fixing plate 35 is perpendicular to the center of the bottom fixing groove 33.
[0037] Analysis of the above structure shows that after the cue is stored, it can be ensured that the cue is placed vertically and will not be pushed or bent by the limiting and fixing plate 35.
[0038] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
