[0002] Gift machines, as a popular form of entertainment, play an important role in people's lives. They are entertainment devices that hold various gifts, and people operate the machine to obtain these gifts by inserting coins, game tokens, or paying via QR code. Gift machines are widely distributed in public places such as shopping malls, supermarkets, electronic game arcades (e.g., video game centers), children's playgrounds, and family entertainment centers, bringing people entertainment and the opportunity to win surprise gifts.

[0003] Early prize machines had relatively simple functions, mostly just placing gifts inside the machine and having players operate joysticks and buttons to control a grabbing device to try and grab the gifts. This traditional model had limited appeal and gradually lost its attractiveness to consumers. With increasing market competition and constantly changing consumer demands, prize machines began to innovate in both design and functionality.

[0004] However, most designs for gift machines focus on the gameplay, with less attention paid to the prize-giving mechanism. For example, Chinese utility model patent CN217386431U discloses a turntable device for a gift machine, including a fixed frame, a rotation drive assembly, a lifting drive assembly, a linkage shaft, a turntable body, and a pressing mechanism; the turntable body is disc-shaped, and several clips for suspending and securing gifts are evenly arranged along its circumferential edge.

[0029] The description of the embodiments in this specification should be taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, which should form part of the complete specification. In the drawings, the shape or thickness of the embodiments may be exaggerated and may be indicated in a simplified or convenient manner. Furthermore, parts of the various structures in the drawings will be described separately; it is worth noting that elements not shown in the figures or not described in words are in a form known to those skilled in the art.

[0030] The description of the embodiments herein, including any references to direction and orientation, is for ease of description only and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of this utility model. The following description of preferred embodiments involves combinations of features, which may exist independently or in combination; this utility model is not particularly limited to the preferred embodiments. The scope of this utility model is defined by the claims.

[0031] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments cannot be described in detail here, but the embodiments of the present invention are not limited to the following embodiments.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the present invention provides a gift hanging device, including a hanging component, a driving device 1 for driving the hanging component to rotate, and a base; the driving device 1 provides stable rotational power to the hanging component, thereby realizing the orderly display and prize dispensing of gifts, greatly enhancing the entertainment experience of the gift machine, and at the same time, new ways to play the gift machine can be developed based on the gift machine hanging device.

[0033] The drive unit 1 is fixed to one side of the base, and the output end of the drive unit 1 passes through the base and is fixedly connected to the suspension assembly.

[0034] The drive device 1 provides driving force and controls the rotation of the suspension assembly. Typically, the drive device 1 is a motor or cylinder, preferably a stepper motor. With its precise pulse control, the rotation angle of the suspension assembly can be better controlled, ensuring that the position of the prize can be accurately controlled each time it is awarded. This greatly improves the accuracy of awarding prizes and effectively avoids poor player experience caused by prize position deviation. As a result, it is conducive to the accurate awarding of prizes by the prize machine, and enhances players' trust in the prize machine and their enthusiasm for participation.

[0035] The suspension assembly includes a suspension rod 2 and a spiral sleeve 3 sleeved on the outside of the suspension rod 2, and the spiral sleeve 3 is provided with a spiral gap 4.

[0036] The function of the suspension assembly is to hang gifts. By fitting the spiral sleeve 3 onto the suspension rod 2, the suspension rod 2 supports the spiral sleeve 3 and the gift. After the spiral sleeve 3 and the suspension rod 2 are assembled, they are then fixed to the drive device 1. This simplifies the installation process and reduces the assembly difficulty, enabling relevant personnel to complete the installation and disassembly of the suspension assembly more efficiently during the production and maintenance of the gift machine.

[0037] Gifts are usually hung at the spiral gap 4 of the spiral sleeve 3. Figure 1 Only the prizes to be awarded are shown in the diagram. Other spiral gaps (4) can also be used to hang prizes. When the drive device 1 rotates the suspension assembly, the prizes move along the spiral of the spiral sleeve 3 towards the end of the suspension rod 2. The size D of the spiral gap 4 is between 1 and 10 mm, typically slightly larger than the size of the gift's hanging rope / ring, etc. This ensures the stability of the hanging prizes, preventing them from swaying or falling during rotation due to excessive gaps, while also guaranteeing ease of operation, allowing merchants to easily insert the gift's hanging components into the gaps.

[0038] Furthermore, the helical gap 4 is similar to the pitch of the threaded structure. In the middle portion of the helical sleeve 3, the thread gap is uniform; however, at both ends of the helical sleeve 3, the thread gap is smaller, even 0mm, which facilitates the connection and fixation of the helical sleeve 3 with the suspension rod 2 and / or the output end of the drive device 1. Maintaining a consistent gap in the middle portion of the helical sleeve 3 ensures the stability of the gift during movement, preventing jamming or uneven speed due to gap variations. The smaller gap at both ends makes the connection between the helical sleeve 3 and the suspension rod 2 and drive device 1 tighter and more secure, effectively preventing loosening due to vibration, rotation, and other factors during long-term use, and significantly extending the service life of the suspension assembly.

[0039] In some embodiments of this utility model, a support plate 5 is provided directly below the suspension assembly, and the minimum gap between the support plate 5 and the suspension assembly is 0~2mm.

[0040] To accommodate more gifts, the hanging assembly is usually made longer. With more gifts hanging or heavier individual gifts, the side furthest from the drive unit 1 may sag. By installing a support plate 5 directly below the hanging assembly, the hanging assembly can be supported, preventing it from tilting due to a large number of gifts or heavy individual gifts. This avoids gifts accidentally slipping off the hanging assembly and causing loss to the user, thus improving the stability of the gift machine.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the main body of the support plate has a "U" shaped structure, and outwardly extending bearing parts 51 are provided at both ends of the opening of the "U" shaped structure.

[0042] When the end of the suspension assembly (the end furthest from the drive unit 1) droops, it can rest against the support part 51. The surface of the support part 51 is smooth to reduce friction. The included angle between the two support parts 51 is 80°~110°. Preferably, the support part 51 is set in a tangential direction with the spiral sleeve 3.

[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, the base includes a fixing plate 6 for fixing the drive device 1 and a base plate 7 for connecting to the gift machine;

[0044] The base plate 7 and the fixing plate 6 are fixedly connected, preferably by welding.

[0045] The base plate 7 is in a regular shape such as round, rectangular, triangular, or trapezoidal, or it can be an irregular shape. Preferably, the base plate 7 is a regular square shape with four through holes at its four corners for fixing to the gift machine. The fixing plate 6 is U-shaped, with outwardly extending connecting parts at both ends of the opening. The connecting parts are parallel to the base plate 7. The two vertical parts of the U-shaped fixing plate 6 can enhance the overall strength of the base.

[0046] The base plate 7 and the fixed plate 6 are provided with through holes at corresponding positions so that the output end of the drive device 1 can pass through. The through hole is larger than the output size of the drive device 1. Preferably, the through hole size is the same as the size of the spiral sleeve 3.

[0047] In some embodiments of this utility model, the support plate is fixedly connected to the base plate 7, which enhances the overall structural integrity of the entire device. This allows the support plate 5 to better transfer the force it bears to the base when supporting the suspension assembly, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the entire device and reducing the risk of failure caused by loose parts or loose connections.

[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the support plate 5 is provided with a hollow structure, which helps to reduce the weight of the support plate 5.

[0049] In some embodiments of this invention, the suspension rod 2 is made of transparent material and contains hollow air bubbles inside to enhance the aesthetics of the suspension device. The transparent suspension rod 2, combined with the internal hollow air bubbles, creates a unique visual effect under light, adding more fun and appeal to the gift machine. When operating the gift machine, players can not only experience the fun of the game but also appreciate the unique beauty of the suspension device, thereby enhancing the overall entertainment atmosphere and user experience of the gift machine.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 5 As shown, the drive device 1 uses a stepper motor. The output end of the stepper motor is provided with a connecting sleeve 11. The thickness h of the connecting sleeve and the gap d between the suspension rod 2 and the spiral sleeve 3 satisfy: h = d ± 0.005 mm. When h < d, the output end of the stepper motor can be fixed to the suspension assembly using glue or other reinforcement methods. When h ≥ d, no other reinforcement methods are required.

[0051] Through precise dimensional matching design, both the flexibility of connecting the stepper motor output end to the suspension assembly and the stability of the connection are ensured. While meeting specific dimensional requirements, the appropriate connection method can be selected based on actual conditions, effectively improving efficiency and quality during production and installation, and reducing the failure rate caused by improper connections.
