Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of bowling equipment, specifically relating to a non-powered bowling goal plate for bowling equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Fully automatic bowling equipment has a long history. In order to save resources and space, bowling equipment has always used a middle lane shared by the left and right lanes for returning balls. The middle lane can only hold one bowling ball. When two balls from the left and right lanes enter the bowling hole at the same time, a blockage will occur, preventing the bowling ball from returning smoothly to the player's starting table.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, existing technologies involve installing horizontally movable goalposts at the goal, with triggering mechanical handles installed inside the left and right goalposts. When one side of the bowling ball triggers the mechanical handle with its own weight and rolling force to open the goalpost, it can enter first, preventing the opposite goalpost from opening. Although this reduces the probability of blockage, there is still a possibility that the handles of both goalposts can be triggered simultaneously, causing blockage. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a non-powered goal plate for bowling equipment, so as to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that there is still a situation where the left and right goal handles are triggered at the same time, causing blockage.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a bowling equipment non-powered goal plate, comprising a goal plate and a bent plate fixed to the bottom of the goal plate, wherein an arc-shaped plate is fixed to one side of the outer wall of the goal plate, and connecting plates fixed to the goal plate are fixed on both sides of the arc-shaped plate.

[0006] In a further embodiment, the upper half of the goal panel is fitted with a hinge.

[0007] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0008] This bowling device features a non-powered goal plate. Due to the different shapes on both sides of the goal plate—one side is a flat surface with a bent slope, and the other side is an arc surface—the goal plate swings in an arc around a hinge, cleverly transferring the force on both sides of the goal plate. This solves the problem of bowling balls blocking the goal when they enter the hole simultaneously. Furthermore, the structure is simple to implement, low in cost, energy-free, and durable. This non-powered goal plate achieves low cost and stable operation by eliminating the need for power, and solves the problems of collision failure and high energy consumption associated with existing technologies where two bowling balls enter the hole simultaneously. Attached Figure Description

[0009] To more clearly illustrate the specific embodiments of this utility model or the technical solutions in the prior art, the drawings used in the description of the specific embodiments or the prior art will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are some embodiments of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained from these drawings without creative effort.

[0015] In the following description, numerous specific details are set forth in order to provide a more thorough understanding of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention can be practiced without one or more of these details. In other instances, certain technical features well-known in the art have not been described in order to avoid confusion with the present invention.

[0016] Unless otherwise defined, the directions mentioned herein, such as up, down, left, right, front, back, inside, and outside, are based on the directions shown in the figures of this utility model, and are explained here together.

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a non-powered bowling goal plate, including a goal plate 1 and a bent plate 2 fixed to the bottom of the goal plate 1. Existing bowling equipment includes a bowling board 6, a return track 7, and a return lane. The goal plate 1 is installed on a goal on one side of the return lane. The goal has a goal hole, and the width of the goal plate 1 is smaller than the width of the goal hole. An arc-shaped plate 3 is fixed to one outer wall of the goal plate 1. Connecting plates 4, which are fixed to the goal plate 1, are fixed on both sides of the arc-shaped plate 3. A hinge 5 is installed on the upper half of the goal plate 1 by bolts. The goal plate 1 is fixed to the goal by the hinge 5. Since the two sides of the goal plate 1 have different shapes, one side is a flat surface with a bent slope, and the other side is an arc surface. The goal plate 1 swings in an arc around the hinge 5, so that the force on both sides of the goal plate 1 is cleverly converted around the hinge 5, which solves the problem of bowling balls entering the goal hole at the same time.

[0018] All standard parts used in this utility model can be purchased from the market, and irregular parts can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, welding, and mold forming that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art, which will not be described in detail here. The contents not described in detail in this specification belong to the prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the indicated orientation or positional relationship is based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and is only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and is not intended to 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.

[0020] Working principle:

[0021] This bowling device has a non-powered goal plate. When in use, the hinge 5 is fixed in a suitable position, and the goal plate 1 is installed in a suitable position on the goal. When there is a bowling ball on the side where the goal plate 1 is installed, it will push the goal plate 1, causing the goal plate 1 to swing in an arc. The bowling ball will smoothly pass through the goal hole and enter the return track 7 in the middle of the lane. When the bowling ball enters the return track 7 in the middle of the lane, the goal plate 1 swings in an arc, and the lower end enters the opposite goal hole, effectively preventing the bowling ball from entering the goal hole from the opposite direction. When the goal plate 1 swings in an arc to enter the opposite goal hole, the swing height of the goal plate 1 is limited by the width and diameter of the goal hole. The distance between the end of the bending plate 2 at the bottom of the goal plate 1 and the sliding board 6 is less than the radius of the bowling ball, so as to prevent the bowling ball from being stuck by the end of the goal plate 1 and the sliding board 6.

[0022] When the bowling ball on the side without the goal plate 1 reaches the goal first, it pushes the goal plate 1, preventing the bowling ball on the side with the goal plate 1 from entering. When both bowling balls roll towards the middle simultaneously in the left and right lanes, the bowling ball on the side without the curved plate 3 contacts the end of the goal plate 1, creating pressure and thrust. This causes the bowling ball on the side with the curved plate 3 to roll backward due to the curvature of the curved plate 3 and the arc of the movement, allowing the bowling ball without the curved plate 3 to enter the goal first.

[0023] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
