[0002] In the operation of amusement park inflatable cannons, rubber balls are commonly used as projectiles, and their sales and management methods have always been key factors affecting operational efficiency and user experience. Traditional rubber ball sales methods often have many drawbacks. For example, some manual sales methods are not only inefficient but also prone to inaccurate counting, which increases labor costs and may lead to disputes between operators and customers due to counting errors. Some simple automated vending machines cannot achieve precise quantitative sales; they either dispense too many balls at once, causing waste and increased costs, or dispense too few, failing to meet customer needs and affecting the amusement experience. In addition, these devices usually lack effective counting functions, making it difficult to accurately collect sales data, which is not conducive to inventory management and cost accounting for operators. Against this backdrop, the development of a device that can achieve quantitative sales and accurate counting of rubber balls is particularly important. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a quantitative counting device for selling rubber balls for amusement park inflatable cannons. This solves the problems of traditional manual rubber ball sales, which are not only inefficient but also prone to inaccurate counting. This increases labor costs and may lead to disputes between operators and customers due to counting errors. Furthermore, some simple automatic vending machines cannot achieve precise quantitative sales; they either dispense too much at once, causing waste and increased costs, or dispense too little, failing to meet customer demand and affecting the amusement experience.

[0004] The present invention provides a solution for a rubber ball quantitative selling and counting device for amusement park inflatable cannons, comprising a housing and an end cap. The housing is characterized by having a guide plate connected inside, a cylinder connected to the bottom of the guide plate, an inclined top plate fixedly connected to the cylinder, a first discharge pipe on the top plate, a bottom plate inside the cylinder, a weighting disk rotatably connected to the bottom plate, the weighting disk being driven by a power component, a plurality of ball-dropping grooves spaced circumferentially on the weighting disk, a second discharge pipe corresponding to the ball-dropping grooves on the bottom plate, a discharge hopper corresponding to the second discharge pipe at the bottom of the cylinder, a counting sensor on the discharge hopper, and a movable connection between the housing and the end cap.

[0005] Preferably, the power assembly includes an electric motor located at the bottom of the cylinder, and the component disk is driven by the electric motor.

[0006] Preferably, the top plate is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft, the rotating shaft is connected to a connecting plate that mates with the top plate, and the rotating shaft is driven by a motor.

Figure 1-5 The detailed description of the embodiments will clearly demonstrate this. All structural details mentioned in the following embodiments are based on the accompanying drawings.

[0023] Exemplary embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1: A rubber ball quantitative selling and counting device for amusement park inflatable cannons, comprising a housing 1 and an end cap 2, characterized in that a guide plate 3 is connected inside the housing 1, a cylinder 4 is connected to the bottom of the guide plate 3, an inclined top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 4, a first discharge pipe 6 is provided on the top plate 5, a bottom plate 7 is provided inside the cylinder 4, a weighting disk 8 is rotatably connected to the bottom plate 7, the weighting disk 8 is driven by a power component, a plurality of ball dropping grooves 9 are provided circumferentially, a second discharge pipe 10 corresponding to the ball dropping grooves 9 is provided on the bottom plate 7, a discharge hopper 11 corresponding to the second discharge pipe 10 is provided at the bottom of the cylinder 4, a counting sensor 12 is provided on the discharge hopper 11, and the housing 1 and the end cap 2 are movably connected.

[0025] As an optional embodiment of Example 1, the power assembly includes a motor 13 located at the bottom of the cylinder 4, and the component disk 8 is driven by the motor 13.

[0026] As an optional embodiment of Example 1, the top plate 5 is rotatably connected to a rotating shaft 14, the rotating shaft 14 is connected to a connecting plate 15 that cooperates with the top plate 5, and the rotating shaft 14 is driven by a motor 13.

[0027] As an optional embodiment of Example 1, the tilting direction of the top plate 5 is consistent with the tilting direction of the guide plate.

[0028] As an optional embodiment of Example 1, the distance between the bottom of the first feeding pipe 6 and the top of the bottom plate 7 is greater than the diameter of the rubber ball.

[0029] As an optional embodiment of Example 1, the housing 1 is provided with a transparent observation window.

[0030] During use, the overall structure of the device is assembled:

[0031] This device mainly consists of components such as a housing 1, end cap 2, guide plate 3, cylinder 4, top plate 5, bottom plate 7, distribution plate 8, and discharge hopper 11. First, the guide plate 3 is installed inside the housing 1, ensuring it is securely installed and accurately positioned so that the rubber balls can smoothly pass through the guide plate 3 and enter the cylinder 4. Next, the bottom of the cylinder 4 is connected to the guide plate 3, ensuring a tight and stable connection.

[0032] An inclined top plate 5 is fixedly connected to the cylinder 4. The inclination angle of the top plate 5 needs to be reasonably set according to the rolling characteristics of the rubber ball. At the same time, a first discharge pipe 6 is opened on the top plate 5. A bottom plate 7 is installed inside the cylinder 4. A rotatable distribution plate 8 is installed on the bottom plate 7. The distribution plate 8 is rotated by a power component. The power component can be an electric motor 13. The electric motor 13 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder 4 and establishes a drive connection with the distribution plate 8.

[0033] Several ball-dropping grooves 9 are spaced circumferentially on the distribution plate 8, and a second feeding pipe 10 corresponding to the ball-dropping grooves 9 is opened on the bottom plate 7. A discharge hopper 11 corresponding to the second feeding pipe 10 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder 4, and a counting sensor 12 is installed on the discharge hopper 11 to count the passing rubber balls. Finally, the end cap 2 is movably connected to the housing 1 to facilitate subsequent maintenance and repair of the device's internal components.

[0034] For the power component, the motor 13 is installed at the bottom of the cylinder 4, and the power of the motor 13 is transmitted to the component disk 8 through a suitable transmission structure (such as belt drive, gear drive, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs) to ensure that the motor 13 can stably drive the component disk 8 to rotate.

[0035] Rotating shaft and connecting plate installation: A rotating shaft 14 is installed on the top plate 5, and the rotating shaft 14 is connected to the connecting plate 15. Similarly, the rotating shaft 14 is driven by the motor 13 through a transmission structure. The installation of the rotating shaft 14 should ensure that it rotates flexibly, and the connecting plate 15 and the top plate 5 should fit well to assist the rubber ball feeding process.

[0036] Inclination direction setting: Ensure that the inclination direction of the top plate 5 is consistent with the inclination direction of the guide plate 3. This will allow the rubber ball to enter the first discharge pipe 6 more smoothly from the guide plate 3 through the top plate 5 under the action of gravity.

[0037] Spacing setting: Strictly control the distance between the bottom of the first feeding pipe 6 and the top of the bottom plate 7, making it larger than the diameter of the rubber ball to prevent the rubber ball from getting stuck during the fall.

[0038] Observation window installation: Install a transparent observation window on the housing 1. The material of the transparent observation window should have good transparency and wear resistance, so that the operator can easily observe the level of the rubber balls inside the device at any time.

[0039] Workflow

[0040] Rubber ball loading: Open end cover 2 and put a certain number of rubber balls into shell 1. Under the action of gravity, the rubber balls roll down along guide plate 3 to the inclined top plate 5. Due to the inclined setting of top plate 5, the rubber balls will naturally roll towards the first feeding pipe 6 and enter the cylinder 4 through the first feeding pipe 6.

[0041] Quantitative selling process: The motor 13 starts, driving the distribution plate 8 to rotate. When the ball drop trough 9 on the distribution plate 8 rotates to align with the first feeding pipe 6, the rubber balls in the first feeding pipe 6 will fall into the ball drop trough 9. As the distribution plate 8 continues to rotate, the ball drop trough 9 containing rubber balls will rotate to align with the second feeding pipe 10 on the base plate 7. At this time, the rubber balls will fall from the ball drop trough 9 through the second feeding pipe 10 into the discharge hopper 11. When the distribution plate 8 is not moving, the rubber balls in the first feeding pipe 6 remain in the first feeding pipe 6 in sequence. The rubber balls at the bottom of the first feeding pipe 6 cooperate with the rubber balls in the ball drop trough 9 to ensure that the rubber balls in the first feeding pipe 6 do not fall. When the distribution plate 8 rotates, the rubber balls at the bottom of the first feeding pipe 6 fall into the adjacent ball drop trough 9.

[0042] Counting process: When rubber balls pass through the discharge hopper 11, the counting sensor 12 on the discharge hopper 11 counts each passing rubber ball and transmits the counting information to the corresponding control system (not mentioned, but can be matched according to actual conditions). By controlling the number of rotations or the time of the motor 13, the number of rotations of the distribution disk 8 can be controlled, thereby realizing the quantitative sale of rubber balls. For example, if 10 rubber balls need to be sold, the number of rotations or the time required for the distribution disk 8 to rotate can be calculated based on the number of balls in the ball drop trough 9 and the speed of the motor 13. When the counting sensor 12 counts 10, the control system can control the motor 13 to stop rotating.

[0043] Observation and Maintenance: Operators can observe the level of rubber balls inside the device at any time through the transparent observation window on the housing 1. When the level of rubber balls is low, the end cover 2 can be opened in time to replenish them. At the same time, the end cover 2 should be opened regularly to inspect and maintain the internal components of the device to ensure the normal operation of the device.

[0044] Throughout the entire operation, the rotating shaft 14 and connecting plate 15 on the top plate 5 rotate under the drive of the motor 13, which can assist the rolling and unloading process of the rubber balls on the top plate 5 and prevent the rubber balls from accumulating or clogging on the top plate 5.

[0045] The above description is only for illustrating the present utility model. It should be understood that the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments, and various modifications that conform to the concept of the present utility model are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
