[0035] Figure 1A schematic diagram of a reward component is shown, wherein the reward component 100 includes a reward bucket 110, a delivery module 120, and a coin slide track 130.
[0036] like Figure 1 As shown, the reward bucket 110 is positioned above the transmission module 120, and the coin slide track 130 is positioned below the transmission module 120.
[0037] Reward bucket 110 contains multiple reward items;
[0038] The transport module 120 is used to transport multiple reward items to the coin slide track 130;
[0039] The coin slide track 130 is used to drop multiple reward items into the coin bin or onto the game platform.
[0040] Optionally, the reward items contained in the reward bucket 110 can be items such as metal coins, plastic coins, steel balls, and plastic balls, or physical rewards such as vouchers and dolls, or any combination of metal coins, plastic coins, steel balls, and plastic balls. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0041] Optionally, the reward bucket 110 is a bottomless cylindrical bucket. The reward bucket 110 is attached to the top of the transmission module 120. After the reward is provided to the user, the reward bucket 110 moves upward and the reward items in the reward bucket 110 fall onto the transmission module 120. The transmission module 120 transports the reward items in the reward bucket 110 to the coin slide track 130. The reward items then slide down the coin slide track 130 and enter the coin bin or the game platform.
[0042] Optionally, the reward bucket 110 is a bottomed cylindrical bucket with an openable bottom plate. The reward bucket 110 can be mounted flush against the top of the conveyor module 120, or it can be positioned at a certain distance above the conveyor module 120. After triggering the provision of a reward to the user, the bottom plate of the reward bucket 110 opens, and the reward item falls onto the conveyor module 120. The conveyor module 120 then transports the reward item from the reward bucket 110 to the coin slide track 130, where it slides down into the coin bin or the game platform.
[0043] like Figure 2 As shown, the reward component 100 also includes a coin drop ramp 140. The coin drop ramp 140 is located between the transport module 120 and the coin slide ramp 130, and is used to allow the reward items transported by the transport module 120 to drop onto the coin slide ramp 130.
[0044] like Figure 2As shown, the coin drop ramp 140 includes a base plate 141 and a cover plate 142, wherein the base plate 141 and the cover plate 142 form a first opening 143 and a second opening 144.
[0045] The first opening 143 faces the end of the transmission path of the transmission module 120 and is used to receive the reward items transported by the transmission module 120, ensuring that all reward items transported by the transmission module 120 will be transported to the coin drop ramp.
[0046] The second opening 144 fits into and faces the coin track 130, and is used to allow the reward item to fall onto the coin track 130.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, multiple pillars 145 are also installed on the coin-dropping ramp 140. The pillars 145 are used to slow down the falling speed of the reward items.
[0048] Optionally, the column 145 can be a cylinder or a prism, and the number of multiple columns 145 can be set according to requirements. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.
[0049] Understandably, by setting up multiple pillars 145 on the coin-dropping ramp 140, the reward items will collide with the pillars 145 and bounce when they fall down the coin-dropping ramp, thereby slowing down the falling speed, improving the visual effect, and enhancing sensory stimulation.
[0050] Figure 4 A schematic diagram of a reward component 100 is shown, which also includes a first motor 150. The first motor 150 is used to drive the reward bucket 110 to move up and down.
[0051] During the operation of the amusement machine, after the reward component 100 is triggered to provide a reward to the user, the first motor 150 drives the reward barrel 110 to move upward, causing the reward items inside the reward barrel 110 to fall onto the conveyor module 120. Furthermore, after all the reward items in the reward barrel 110 have fallen or after the reward event ends, the first motor 150 drives the reward barrel 110 to move downward, with its bottom fitting against the conveyor module 120.
[0052] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a conveying module 120 is shown. The conveying module 120 includes a second motor 121 and a conveyor belt 122.
[0053] The second motor 121 is used to drive the conveyor belt 122 to run, and the conveyor belt 122 is used to transport multiple reward items.
[0054] After the reward component 100 provides the reward for the user during the operation of the game machine, the second motor drives the conveying belt 122 to operate, so that the conveying belt 122 transports the plurality of reward props dropped from the reward barrel 110, and the conveying end of the conveying belt 122 is above the first opening 143 of the coin dropping slope 140. After the reward props are conveyed and transported by the conveying belt 122, the reward props drop from the first opening 143 to the coin dropping slope 140.
[0055] Figure 6 A structural schematic diagram of a reward component 100 is shown, and the reward component 100 further comprises a third motor 160 for driving the coin sliding track 130 to rotate to the left or to rotate to the right.
[0056] If the reward component 100 provides the reward for the left user during the operation of the game machine, the third motor 160 drives the coin sliding track 130 to rotate to the left, so that the reward props dropped on the coin sliding track 130 slide along the coin sliding track 130 to the coin cup of the left user or to the game platform. After the reward ends, the third motor 160 drives the coin sliding track 130 to rotate to the right to restore the initial state.
[0057] Correspondingly, if the reward component 100 provides the reward for the right user, the third motor 160 drives the coin sliding track 130 to rotate to the right, so that the reward props dropped on the coin sliding track 130 slide along the coin sliding track 130 to the coin cup of the right user or to the game platform. After the reward ends, the third motor 160 drives the coin sliding track 130 to rotate to the left to restore the initial state.
[0058] Figure 7 A structural schematic diagram of a reward component 100 is shown, and the reward component 100 further comprises a reward component body 170. The reward component body 170 is used to fix the reward barrel 110, the conveying module 120, the coin dropping slope 140, and the coin sliding track 130.
[0059] As shown in Figure 7 The reward component 100 further comprises a fourth motor 180, a moving track 181, and a sliding block 182.
[0060] The reward component body 170 is fixed on the sliding block 182, and the fourth motor 180 is used to drive the sliding block 182 to move on the moving track 181.
[0061] After the reward component 100 provides the reward for the user during the operation of the game machine, the fourth motor 180 drives the sliding block 182 to move on the moving track 181 towards the user, and after the reward ends, the fourth motor 180 drives the sliding block 182 to move on the moving track away from the user.
[0062] Optionally, the fourth motor 180 drives the screw rod to move, so that the sliding block 182 moves on the moving track 181.
[0063] In some embodiments, the application also provides a game machine, which comprises the reward component 100 according to any one of the above embodiments of the application, so as to improve the sensory stimulation to the user and enrich the reward form for the user.
[0064] Optionally, the game machine can be a pinball machine.
[0065] The above only is the preferred embodiment of the application, and does not limit the application, and any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the application shall be included in the protection scope of the application.
