Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gaming equipment, specifically to a dual-outlet coin-shooting mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Coin-shooting games work by launching coins at multiple prizes or receiving windows placed in front of the player. Sensors detect whether the coin hits a prize or enters a receiving window. When a coin hits a prize or enters a window, the player receives the corresponding prize or points. However, traditional coin-shooting games only have one coin-dispensing channel. Multiple channels in different directions require multiple launching mechanisms, increasing the size of the device. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a dual-outlet coin-shooting mechanism that provides two coin outlets in different directions, making the gaming device more compact.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is implemented as follows:

[0005] A dual-outlet coin ejection mechanism includes an upper inclined coin ejection channel, with the upper end of the coin ejection channel serving as a first outlet. A second outlet, connected to the coin ejection channel, is located on the side of the coin ejection channel. A movable component and a driving component for driving the movable component are located at the outlet end of the coin ejection channel, opposite to the second outlet. The movable component includes a mounting plate hinged to one side of the coin ejection channel, a connecting plate vertically positioned at the end of the mounting plate near the first outlet, a lower stop plate positioned at the lower end of the mounting plate near the second outlet, and a guide plate positioned at the lower end of the mounting plate away from the second outlet. Both the connecting plate and the lower stop plate extend into the coin ejection channel, with the lower stop plate facing...

[0006] The second outlet has a through hole on the connecting piece for game coins to pass through, and a side baffle is provided on the side of the through hole away from the mounting piece.

[0007] When the drive unit is activated, the lower end of the drive mounting plate moves away from the second outlet, causing the side baffle to block the first outlet and the lower baffle to move away from the second outlet, thereby allowing the game coin to be ejected from the second outlet through the coin dispensing channel;

[0008] When the drive unit is closed, the guide plate resets and moves the lower end of the mounting plate toward the second outlet, so that the through hole of the side baffle aligns with the first outlet and the lower baffle extends into the second outlet, so that the game coin passes through the through hole in the coin outlet channel and is ejected from the first outlet.

[0009] Preferably, the driving component is an electromagnet, and the guide plate is made of a material that can be attracted by the electromagnet;

[0010] When the electromagnet is energized, the guide plate is attracted by the electromagnet and moves the lower end of the mounting plate toward the electromagnet, so that the side baffle blocks the first outlet and the lower baffle moves away from the second outlet, so that the game coin is ejected from the second outlet through the coin dispensing channel.

[0011] When the electromagnet is not energized, the guide plate resets and moves the lower end of the mounting plate away from the electromagnet, so that the through hole of the side baffle aligns with the first outlet and the lower baffle extends into the second outlet, so that the game coin passes through the through hole in the coin outlet channel and is ejected from the first outlet.

[0012] Preferably, one end of the electromagnet has a notch into which a guide plate can be inserted.

[0013] Preferably, the guide sheet is made of metal.

[0014] Preferably, the free end of the lower baffle is inclined downward.

[0015] Preferably, a mounting bracket is provided on the side of the coin dispensing channel away from the second exit. The mounting bracket is located above the drive unit, and a return spring is provided on the top of the mounting bracket. The two ends of the return spring are respectively connected to the upper end of the mounting bracket and the upper end of the mounting plate.

[0016] Preferably, a guide cover is provided on the side of the coin dispensing channel away from the moving part, and the guide cover is placed over the second outlet, with an opening at the bottom of the guide cover.

[0017] Preferably, the upper end of the coin dispensing channel is provided with an arc-shaped groove, a bearing, and a bearing support. The bearing is slidably connected in the groove, and one end of the bearing is rotatably connected to the bearing support. The other end of the bearing support is rotatably connected to one side of the coin dispensing channel.

[0018] Preferably, the mounting plate, lower baffle plate, and guide plate are integrally molded.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0020] This invention uses a driving component to drive a movable component to achieve reversal, so that the first outlet opens while the second outlet is blocked, or the second outlet opens while the first outlet is blocked, thereby allowing game coins to be ejected from the first outlet at an angle or from the second outlet downwards, providing two coin outlets in different directions; in addition, since the coin outlets in the two directions are integrated in the same coin outlet channel, there is no need to set up another coin outlet channel, making the game device more compact.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] 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.

[0030] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "center," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "inner," and "outer," etc., indicating the orientation or positional relationship, are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings and are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model. Furthermore, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installed," "connected," and "linked" 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; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0031] See Figure 1 to Figure 6This utility model discloses a dual-outlet coin ejection mechanism, comprising an upper inclined coin ejection channel 1, with the upper end of the coin ejection channel 1 serving as a first outlet 11. A second outlet 12, communicating with the coin ejection channel 1, is provided on the side of the coin ejection channel 1. A movable component 2 and a driving component 3 for driving the movable component 2 are provided at the outlet end of the coin ejection channel 1, located on the side opposite to the second outlet 12. The movable component 2 includes a mounting plate 21 hinged to one side of the coin ejection channel 1 in the middle, a connecting plate 22 vertically disposed at the end of the mounting plate 21 near the first outlet 11, a lower stop plate 23 disposed at the lower end of the mounting plate 21 near the second outlet 12, and a guide plate 24 disposed at the lower end of the mounting plate 21 away from the second outlet 12. Both the connecting plate 22 and the lower stop plate 23 extend into the coin ejection channel 1.

[0032] Inside, the lower baffle 23 faces the second outlet 12, and the connecting piece 22 is provided with a through hole 221 for game coins to pass through. A side baffle 25 is provided on the side of the through hole 221 away from the mounting piece 21.

[0033] When the drive unit 3 is activated, the lower end of the drive mounting plate 21 moves away from the second outlet 12, causing the side baffle 25 to block the first outlet 11 and the lower baffle 23 to leave the second outlet 12. At this time, the game coin cannot be ejected from the first outlet 11 due to the obstruction of the side baffle 25, while the lower baffle 23 leaves the second outlet 12, and the second outlet 12 is opened, so that the game coin can be ejected downward from the second outlet 12 through the coin dispensing channel 1.

[0034] When the drive unit 3 is closed, the guide plate 24 is reset, causing the lower end of the mounting plate 21 to move towards the second outlet 12, so that the through hole 221 of the side baffle 25 is aligned with the first outlet 11 and the lower baffle 23 extends into the second outlet 12. At this time, since the lower baffle 23 extends into the second outlet 12, it forms a blockage on the second outlet 12, and the game coin cannot be ejected from the second outlet 12. Meanwhile, the through hole 221 of the side baffle 25 is aligned with the first outlet 11, and the game coin passes through the through hole 221 of the side baffle 25 in the coin outlet channel 1 and is ejected obliquely from the first outlet 11.

[0035] Therefore, by driving the moving part 2 through the driving part 3 to achieve the reversal, the first outlet 11 is opened and the second outlet 12 is blocked, or the second outlet 12 is opened and the first outlet 11 is blocked, so that the game coins can be ejected from the first outlet 11 at an angle or from the second outlet 12 downward. This provides two coin outlets in different directions, and the two coin outlets are integrated in the same coin outlet channel, eliminating the need for an additional coin outlet channel, making the game device more compact.

[0036] In this embodiment, see Figure 2 The driving component 3 is an electromagnet, and the guide plate 24 is made of a material that can be attracted by the electromagnet.

[0037] When the electromagnet is energized, the guide plate 24 is attracted by the electromagnet and moves the lower end of the mounting plate 21 toward the electromagnet, so that the side baffle 25 blocks the first outlet 11 and the lower baffle 23 leaves the second outlet 12, so that the game coin is ejected from the second outlet 12 through the coin outlet channel 1.

[0038] When the electromagnet is not energized, the guide plate 24 resets and drives the lower end of the mounting plate 21 to move away from the electromagnet, so that the through hole 221 of the side baffle 25 aligns with the first outlet 11 and the lower baffle 23 extends into the second outlet 12, thereby causing the game coin to be ejected from the first outlet 11 through the coin dispensing channel 1.

[0039] The electromagnet is electrically connected to the controller, which controls the electromagnet to be turned on or off. When the electromagnet is turned on, it attracts the guide plate 24, causing the lower end of the mounting plate 21 to move toward the electromagnet. When the electromagnet is turned off, it releases the magnetic attraction of the electromagnet to the guide plate 24, causing the lower end of the mounting plate 21 to move away from the electromagnet.

[0040] Preferred, see Figure 2 One end of the electromagnet is provided with a notch into which the guide plate 24 can be inserted, which facilitates the movement of the guide plate 24 and provides space for the guide plate 24 to move, making the structure of this utility model more compact.

[0041] Specifically, the guide plate 24 is made of metal, which allows it to be attracted by an electromagnet.

[0042] Preferably, referring to Figure 5, the free end of the lower baffle 23 is inclined downward. The downwardly inclined lower baffle 23 can play a guiding role, which is beneficial to guide the game coins to be ejected downward from the second outlet 12 when the drive unit 3 is started.

[0043] Preferably, referring to Figure 2, a mounting bracket 4 is provided on the side of the coin dispensing channel 1 away from the second outlet 12. The mounting bracket 4 is located above the drive unit 3, and a return spring 5 is provided on the top of the mounting bracket 4. The two ends of the return spring 5 are respectively connected to the upper end of the mounting bracket 4 and the upper end of the mounting plate 21. The return spring 5 is provided to help the guide plate 24 return to its original position when the drive unit 3 is closed. When the drive unit 3 is activated, the lower end of the mounting plate 21 is driven to move away from the second outlet 12, while the upper end of the mounting plate 21 moves towards the second outlet 12. At this time, the return spring 5 is stretched. When the drive unit 3 is closed, the return spring 5 rebounds, causing the guide plate 24 to return to its original position, thereby causing the upper end of the mounting plate 21 to move away from the second outlet 12, and the lower end of the mounting plate 21 to move towards the second outlet 12.

[0044] Preferably, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 A guide cover 8 is provided on the side of the coin dispensing channel 1 away from the movable part 2. The guide cover 8 covers the second outlet 12. The bottom of the guide cover 8 is open. When the driving part 3 is activated, the game coins are ejected downward from the bottom opening of the guide cover 8 through the second outlet 12 of the coin dispensing channel 1. This can prevent the game coins from being ejected obliquely rather than downward from the second outlet 12, thus ensuring the direction of coin dispensing.

[0045] Preferably, referring to Figures 5 and 6, the mounting plate 21, the lower baffle 23, and the guide plate 24 are integrally formed, which facilitates the manufacturing and molding of the movable part 2. In practice, the mounting plate 21, the connecting plate 22, the lower baffle 23, the guide plate 24, and the side baffle 25 can all be integrally formed, further facilitating the manufacturing of the movable part 2.

[0046] Among them, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The upper end of the coin dispensing channel 1 is provided with an arc-shaped groove 13, a bearing 6, and a bearing support 7. The bearing 6 is slidably connected in the groove 13, and one end of the bearing 6 is rotatably connected to the bearing support 7. The other end of the bearing support 7 is rotatably connected to one side of the coin dispensing channel 1. When the game coin moves upward in the coin dispensing channel 1, the game coin contacts the bearing 6 in the groove 13. Under the pushing action of the game coin, the bearing 6 is bounced outward along the groove 13, allowing the game coin to pass through the bearing 6. When the bearing 6 bounces outward, it drives the bearing support 7 to move outward. After the game coin passes, the bearing 6 and the bearing support 7 return to their original positions. Preferably, an elastic element, such as a spring, is provided at one end of the bearing support 7 to help the bearing 6 and the bearing support 7 return to their original positions.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
