[0060] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0061] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings.

Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0062] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation" and "connection" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0063] See Figures 1 to 12As shown in the illustration, this application provides a rotary claw machine, including a housing 1, a base 2, a rotating column 3, a first drive mechanism 4, a second drive mechanism 51, and a control assembly 6. The housing 1 has a cavity 101 and a discharge cavity 102. The base 2 is located within the cavity 101 and is rotatably mounted on the housing 1. A feeding slot 21 is provided on the base 2. The rotating column 3 is at least partially located in the cavity 101, extending perpendicularly to the base 2. The rotating column 3 is located on the rotating column 3 line of the base 2, and a gripper assembly 7 is provided on one end of the rotating column 3 facing away from the base 2. The first drive mechanism 4 is disposed on the housing 1, and the first drive mechanism 4 and the base 2 are in a transmission cooperation to drive the base 2 to rotate. During the rotation of the base 2, the feeding slot 21 is either connected to or isolated from the discharge cavity 102. The second drive mechanism 51 is disposed on the housing 1, and the second drive mechanism and the rotating column 3 are in a transmission cooperation to drive the rotating column 3 to rotate. The control component 6 is disposed on the housing 1, and the control component is electrically connected to the second drive mechanism 51 and the gripper assembly 7 respectively.

[0064] In actual use, the spinning claw machine provided in this application operates with the control component 6 activated when the player starts the machine. The player issues commands through the control component 6. On one hand, the second drive mechanism 51, upon receiving the command, drives the rotating column 3 to rotate. The rotating column 3 causes the gripper assembly 7 on its side opposite the base 2 to rotate, allowing the gripper assembly 7 to perform grabbing actions at different positions. On the other hand, the first drive mechanism 4 also drives the base 2 to rotate according to the commands from the control component 6. The placement slot 21 on the base 2 changes position as the base 2 rotates, and during rotation, the placement slot 21 may connect to or disconnect from the discharge chamber 102. When the player manipulates the gripper assembly 7 to a suitable position and judges the optimal grabbing time, the gripper assembly 7 performs the grabbing action. If the player successfully grabs a plush toy, as the base 2 continues to rotate, when the placement slot 21 connects to the discharge chamber 102, the plush toy can be inserted into the discharge chamber 102 and fall out, allowing the player to win a prize.

[0065] This unique design, through the coordinated operation of the first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism 51, and the precise control of the control component 6, brings players a rich and challenging claw machine experience, greatly enhancing the fun and playability compared to traditional home claw machines. Compared to traditional home claw machines, this application's spinning claw machine not only retains the basic fun of grabbing prizes but also increases the game's strategy and interactivity by introducing a spinning mechanism. Players need to make precise judgments and operations based on the position of the plush toy, the rotation of the spinning column 3, and the timing of the claw's grab, thus greatly enhancing the game's fun and playability. Furthermore, this application's claw machine also boasts advantages such as a compact structure and small footprint, making it ideal for home use and easily integrating into various home environments, adding a new option for family entertainment.

[0066] In some possible implementations, the housing 1 has a base 11 and a cover 12. The first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism 51 are both disposed on the base 11. The rotating column 3 and the chassis 2 are rotatably disposed on the base 11. The cover 12 is connected to the base 11, and a cavity 101 is formed between the cover 12 and the base 11. This design makes the entire rotary claw machine structure more stable, and the installation and layout of each component more reasonable. The base 11, as the main support structure, can withstand the forces generated when the rotating column 3 and chassis 2 rotate, ensuring the stability of the machine during operation. The cavity 101 formed by the cover 12 and the base 11 not only provides the necessary space for the rotation of the chassis 2 and the rotating column 3, but also provides a certain degree of protection, preventing external factors from interfering with or damaging the internal components. At the same time, the appearance design of the cover 12 can be diversified according to different needs, increasing the product's aesthetics and attractiveness.

[0067] In some possible implementations, the spinning claw machine includes a first drive gear 43, with a toothed ring 22 disposed on the peripheral edge of the chassis 2. The first drive gear 43 is rotatably mounted on the base 11, and the first drive gear 43 meshes with the toothed ring 22. The first drive mechanism 4 includes a first motor 41 and a first gear train 42. The input gear of the first gear train 42 is driven by the first motor 41, and the output gear of the first gear train 42 is connected to the first drive gear 43. When the first motor 41 starts, the first drive gear 43 is driven to rotate at a suitable speed through the deceleration and transmission of the first gear train 42. Since the first drive gear 43 meshes with the toothed ring 22 on the peripheral edge of the chassis 2, it drives the chassis 2 to rotate. Using gear meshing for transmission is a simple and efficient method that accurately controls the rotation speed and direction of the chassis 2, providing players with a stable gaming experience.

[0068] In some possible implementations, the base 11 has a recessed groove 111 on its surface, and a clearance opening 112 is provided on the side wall of the recessed groove 111. The first drive mechanism 4 is located on the side of the base 11 opposite to the recessed groove 111, and the first drive gear 43 is located at the clearance opening 112. The base 11 is rotatably mounted on the recessed groove 111, and the first drive gear 43 partially penetrates the clearance opening 112 and meshes with the gear ring 22. This structural design cleverly utilizes the space of the base 11, hiding part of the first drive gear 43 within the clearance opening 112 of the recessed groove 111, ensuring both the effectiveness of transmission and a more compact overall structure. Simultaneously, the recessed groove 111 provides guidance and limiting for the rotation of the chassis 2, helping to improve the stability of the chassis 2's rotation, reducing shaking and noise caused by rotation, and further enhancing the player's experience during gameplay. Meanwhile, without affecting the transmission, the first drive mechanism 4 is hidden under the base 11, making the overall appearance of the machine cleaner and more beautiful, and reducing the interference of external parts on the player's operation and line of sight.

[0069] In some possible implementations, the rotary claw machine further includes a limiting ring 8. A protruding ring 113 is provided in the center of the recessed groove 111, and an mounting opening 114 is formed on the inner side of the protruding ring 113. The base 2 has a central hole 23, and the base 2 is fitted onto the protruding ring 113 through the central hole 23. The limiting ring 8 is detachably connected to the protruding ring 113, and the base 2 is limited between the limiting ring 8 and the base 11. By setting the limiting ring 8, the position of the base 2 can be effectively restricted, preventing the base 2 from jumping during rotation, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the base 2's rotation.

[0070] Furthermore, a concave ring is provided on the side of the limiting ring 8 near the chassis 2, and a convex ring 24 is provided on the chassis 2, which is embedded in the concave ring. This design further enhances the limiting effect on the chassis 2, making the chassis 2 more stable during rotation, without lateral swaying or deviation, ensuring the accuracy of the connection or isolation between the feeding slot 21 and the discharge chamber 102, and providing a strong guarantee for players to accurately grab the plush toy.

[0071] In some possible implementations, a receiving hopper 9 is provided on one side of the chassis 2 along its thickness direction, and the receiving hopper 9 encloses the feeding slot 21. The side of the receiving hopper 9 closest to the rotating column 3 is recessed towards the feeding slot 21 to form a relief recess that avoids the rotating column 3. This design makes the structure of the feeding slot 21 more reasonable, and the relief recess avoids interference between the rotating column 3 and the receiving hopper 9 during rotation, ensuring that the rotating column 3 and the chassis 2 can rotate independently and smoothly. At the same time, the shape and structure of the receiving hopper 9 also help to better receive and guide the doll. When the gripper assembly 7 grabs the doll above the feeding slot 21 and releases it, the doll can fall smoothly into the feeding slot 21. As the chassis 2 rotates, the doll is finally delivered through communication with the discharge chamber 102.

[0072] In some possible implementations, the rotary claw machine includes a connector 52 and a rotating component 53. The connector 52 is rotatably disposed in the mounting port 114, and the rotating component 53 is located in the inner cavity of the base 11 and connected to the connector 52. The second drive mechanism 51 is drivenly connected to the rotating component, and the rotating column 3 is connected to the connector 52. The connector 52 and the rotating column 3 rotate synchronously. With this design, the power generated by the second drive mechanism 51 can be effectively transmitted to the rotating column 3 through the rotating component 53 and the connector 52, achieving stable rotation of the rotating column 3. Moreover, this layered structural design hides the transmission part of the rotating component 53 in the inner cavity of the base 11, reducing the occupation of external space, while also making the entire transmission system more compact and orderly, improving the stability and reliability of the machine operation.

[0073] In some possible implementations, the rotating component 53 of the claw machine is equipped with a gear 531, and a second drive gear is connected to the output end of the second drive mechanism 51. The second drive gear meshes with the gear 531. When the second drive mechanism 51 is activated, the second drive gear rotates, and through meshing with the gear 531, it drives the rotating component 53 to rotate, thereby driving the adapter 52 and the rotating column 3 to rotate. This gear transmission method has advantages such as high transmission accuracy and stable transmission ratio, and can accurately control the rotation speed and angle of the rotating column 3, so that the claw assembly 7 can rotate according to a predetermined trajectory and speed, making it easier for players to control and grab the plush toys, and improving the accuracy and playability of the game.

[0074] The second drive mechanism 51 further includes a second motor and a second gear train. The input end of the second gear train is connected to the second motor, and the output end of the second gear train is connected to the second drive gear.

[0075] In some possible implementations, a battery and a main control board are mounted on the base 11. The battery is electrically connected to the main control board, which is connected to cables that pass through the rotating component 53, the adapter 52, and the rotating column 3, connecting to the gripper assembly 7. The battery provides power to the main control board, which, as the control core of the entire rotary claw machine, receives commands from the control component 6 and controls the working state of the first drive mechanism 4 and the second drive mechanism 51 according to the commands. It can also precisely control the movement of the gripper assembly 7. The cables are run inside the rotating component 53, the adapter 52, and the rotating column 3. This concealed design not only makes the machine's appearance simpler and avoids problems such as tangling and damage that may result from exposed cables, but also ensures stable signal and power transmission, ensuring that all components of the machine can work normally and in a coordinated manner.

[0076] In some possible implementations, the adapter 52 is provided with multiple slots 521, and the end of the rotating column 3 is provided with multiple plug-in portions 31. When the rotating column 3 is connected to the adapter 52, each plug-in portion 31 is inserted into its corresponding slot 521. This plug-in connection method makes the installation and disassembly of the rotating column 3 and the adapter 52 more convenient and quick. At the same time, the cooperation of the multiple plug-in portions 31 and slots 521 ensures the stability and firmness of the connection between the rotating column 3 and the adapter 52, preventing loosening or detachment during the rotation of the rotating column 3, thus ensuring the normal operation of the machine.

[0077] In some possible implementations, a rotating groove 121 is provided on the top inner side of the casing 12, and the top of the rotating column 3 can be rotatably inserted into the rotating groove 121. The rotating groove 121 provides stable support and rotation space for the top of the rotating column 3, enabling the rotating column 3 to maintain a vertical state during rotation, reducing swaying and offset caused by rotation, and improving the smoothness and accuracy of the rotation of the rotating column 3. At the same time, this design also further enhances the stability of the entire machine structure, ensures the coordinated work between various components, and brings players a smoother and more stable gaming experience.
