Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of game machine technology, specifically to a pin return structure for a bowling game machine. Background Technology

[0002] Bowling, a sport and entertainment activity that combines fun, competition, and interactivity, is widely used in commercial entertainment venues. Users need to throw the ball towards the pins in a specific direction and trajectory, aiming to knock down as many pins as possible. However, traditional bowling equipment is bulky, expensive, and requires specific spaces, making it unsuitable for everyday home or office environments. To meet the demands for portability and casual entertainment, tabletop bowling devices have gradually emerged on the market. By reducing their scale and simplifying their structure, these devices allow users to experience the joy of throwing and knocking down pins even in limited spaces.

[0003] Existing tabletop bowling equipment is mainly constructed of plastic and includes a scaled-down lane, bowling pins, and a ball. Most existing products still require manual resetting of the pins, which affects the continuity and immersion of the game. After the pins are knocked over, they still need to be manually righted and reset one by one, resulting in insufficient automation and product interaction experience. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a pin return structure for a bowling game machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is:

[0006] Most existing products use manual methods to reset the pins, which affects the continuity and immersion of the game. After the pins are knocked over, they still need to be manually righted and reset one by one, resulting in a low degree of automation.

[0007] This utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0008] A pin return structure for a bowling game machine includes an installation plate embedded in the entrance of the game machine, a small ball return unit and a projection unit connected to the game machine. A support unit is installed on one side surface of the installation plate, and a plurality of stop blocks are installed on the surface of the support unit. A support bar is rotatably installed inside each stop block. A torsion spring is fitted at the upper pivot of each support bar, and a bowling ball is installed on one side surface of the bottom of the support bar. One end of the torsion spring is fixed to the stop block, and the other end of the torsion spring is fixed to the upper pivot of the support bar.

[0009] A drive unit is provided on the other side surface of the mounting plate. A rotating push seat is mounted on the drive unit. Several protrusions are provided at the bottom end of the rotating push seat. A push head that pushes the corresponding bowling ball back to its position is installed in the protrusion.

[0010] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that the support unit includes two reinforcing plates fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the mounting plate, a connecting plate installed between the two reinforcing plates, and several stop blocks fixed to the back of the connecting plate.

[0011] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that the cross-section of the connecting plate is a symmetrical stepped structure, with multiple steps symmetrically arranged along the center line.

[0012] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that: the drive unit includes a support plate disposed on the back of the mounting plate, a positioning seat is mounted on the back of the mounting plate away from the support plate, a rotating rod for driving the rotating push seat to rotate is installed between the positioning seat and the support plate, a driven wheel connected to the end of the rotating rod is mounted on the surface of the support plate, a belt connected to the driving wheel is sleeved on the driven wheel, and a drive motor for driving the driving wheel to rotate is mounted on one end surface of the support plate.

[0013] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that: a stop post is installed on the surface of the positioning seat above the rotating rod, and a limiting piece is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the end of the rotating rod, with a locking part provided at both ends of the limiting piece;

[0014] The mounting plate has a notch on the top surface of its inner cavity, and the notch is collinear with one of the card parts and abuts against it.

[0015] A further technical improvement of this utility model is that the ball return unit includes a ball return channel and a ball groove, the ball return channel is connected to the ball groove, and the ball groove is located on one side of the projection unit.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. After the ball is launched, it hits the bowling ball, causing the corresponding support bar to rotate. At this time, the support bar and the stop block rotate, and the corresponding torsion spring is released from the elastic tension state and returns to the natural elastic state. The bowling ball spins and flips over (spins after being hit), thus scoring points. The bowling ball does not bounce back after flipping, and the rotation angle of the bowling ball is within the allowable angle of the stop block. Similarly, other bowling balls score points in the same way. Then, the pusher rotates counterclockwise, driving multiple pushers to push the corresponding support bars and bowling balls to flip and reset, and the cycle repeats for the next shot. There is no need to manually straighten and reset each ball, which enhances the interactive experience and increases the fun.

[0018] 2. When the rotating rod rotates counterclockwise, the upper limiting plate contacts the stop post, thus interfering with the rotation of the rotating rod and stopping its rotation. When the rotating rod rotates clockwise, a limiting plate enters the notch and blocks contact, thus interfering with the movement of the rotating rod and stopping its rotation. The lower limiting plate and the stop post block and limit the movement of the rotating rod, controlling its range of motion and ensuring that it can only move within the set range, thus avoiding mechanical damage caused by excessive rotation.

[0024] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a pin return structure for a bowling game machine, including an installation plate 1 embedded in the entrance of the game machine, a small ball return unit and a projection unit connected to the game machine, a support unit installed on one side surface of the installation plate 1, a plurality of stop seats 17 installed on the surface of the support unit, a support bar 4 rotatably installed inside each stop seat 17, a torsion spring 18 fitted at the upper pivot of each support bar 4, and a bowling ball 5 installed on one side surface of the bottom of the support bar 4, one end of the torsion spring 18 is fixed to the stop seat 17, and the other end of the torsion spring 18 is fixed to the upper pivot of the support bar 4;

[0026] A drive unit is provided on the other side surface of the mounting plate 1. A rotating push seat 13 is mounted on the drive unit. Several protrusions are provided at the bottom end of the rotating push seat 13. A push head 16 for pushing the corresponding bowling ball 5 back to its original position is installed inside the protrusions.

[0027] The angle of the projection unit can be rotated, and the user can aim the projection unit at bowling balls 5 at different positions. The ball is ejected by the projection unit. Initially, the bowling ball 5 is in a vertical position (not hit). The rotating pusher 13 rotates 90 degrees clockwise to the initial position (i.e., the initial angle). The pusher head 16 connected to the rotating pusher 13 does not contact the support bar 4, which facilitates the triggering and flipping of the bowling ball 5. The torsion spring 18 is in a stretched state.

[0028] When the ball bounces out and hits the bowling ball 5, it causes the corresponding support bar 4 to rotate. At this time, the support bar 4 and the stop seat 17 rotate, and the corresponding torsion spring 18 is released and returns to its natural elastic position. The bowling ball 5 rotates and flips over (rotates after being hit), thus scoring a point. After the bowling ball 5 flips over, it does not bounce back. The rotation angle of the bowling ball 5 is within the allowable angle of the stop seat 17.

[0029] Similarly, the other five bowling balls are scored in the same way;

[0030] Then, the pusher seat 13 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, causing multiple pushers 16 to push the corresponding support bar 4 and bowling ball 5 to flip and reset, repeating the next shot action. There is no need to manually straighten and reset each ball, which enhances the interactive experience and increases the fun.

[0031] See Figure 1 As shown, the support unit includes two reinforcing plates 2 fixedly installed on the top of the inner cavity of the mounting plate 1, a connecting plate 3 installed between the two reinforcing plates 2, and several stop blocks 17 fixed to the back of the connecting plate 3 to complete the installation of the support unit.

[0032] The cross-section of the connecting plate 3 is a symmetrical stepped structure, with multiple steps symmetrically arranged along the center line;

[0033] This setup makes the arrangement of Bowling Ball 5 more aesthetically pleasing.

[0034] See Figure 2 As shown, the drive unit includes a support plate 6 on the back of the mounting plate 1. A positioning seat 10 is installed on the back of the mounting plate 1 away from the support plate 6. A rotating rod 11 that drives the rotating push seat 13 to rotate is installed between the positioning seat 10 and the support plate 6. A driven wheel 9 connected to the end of the rotating rod 11 is installed on the surface of the support plate 6. A belt 8 that is connected to the driving wheel is sleeved on the driven wheel 9. A drive motor 7 that drives the driving wheel to rotate is installed on one end surface of the support plate 6.

[0035] like Figure 2 As shown, rotating the pusher 13 90 degrees clockwise is the initial angle. Figure 2 The state shown is the result of rotating the push base 13 counterclockwise by 90 degrees. Driven by the drive motor 7, the rotation is transmitted through the belt 8, and the rotating rod 11 drives the rotating push base 13 to flip, thereby completing the rotation and reset of the support bar 4, which is convenient for the next game.

[0036] See Figure 3 As shown, a stop post 15 is installed on the surface of the positioning seat 10 above the rotating rod 11, and a limit piece 14 is fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the end of the rotating rod 11. Both ends of the limit piece 14 are provided with locking parts.

[0037] The inner cavity top surface of the mounting plate 1 is provided with a notch 12, and the notch 12 is collinearly abutted against one of the card parts;

[0038] like Figure 3 As shown, when the rotating rod 11 rotates counterclockwise, the upper limiting plate 14 contacts the stop post 15, thereby interfering with the rotation of the rotating rod 11 and stopping its rotation. When the rotating rod 11 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, one limiting plate 14 enters the notch 12 and blocks the contact, thus interfering with the movement of the rotating rod 11 and stopping its rotation. The lower limiting plate 14 and the stop post 15 block and limit the movement of the rotating rod 11, controlling its range of motion and ensuring that it can only move within the set range, thus avoiding mechanical damage caused by excessive rotation.

[0039] The ball return unit includes a return channel and a ball groove. The return channel is connected to the ball groove, and the ball groove is located on one side of the projection unit.

[0040] When the ball enters the game machine's entrance, it hits bowling ball 5, causing the initial bowling ball 5 to flip. The ball then enters the game machine through the entrance and automatically enters the ball slot through the return channel. There is no need to manually collect the ball, allowing it to be reused multiple times.

[0041] When this invention is in use, after the ball is launched, it touches the bowling ball 5, causing the corresponding support bar 4 to rotate. At this time, the support bar 4 and the stop seat 17 rotate, and the corresponding torsion spring 18 is released from the elastic tension state and returns to the natural elastic state. The bowling ball 5 rotates and flips over (spins after being hit), thus scoring a point. After the bowling ball 5 flips over, it does not bounce back. The rotation angle of the bowling ball 5 is within the allowable angle of the stop seat 17. Similarly, other bowling balls 5 score points in the same way. Then, the pusher seat 13 rotates 90 degrees counterclockwise, driving multiple pushers 16 to push the corresponding support bar 4 and bowling ball 5 to flip and reset, and repeat the next shot action. There is no need to manually straighten and reset each ball, which enhances the interactive experience and increases the fun.

[0042] When the rotating rod 11 rotates counterclockwise, the upper limiting plate 14 contacts the stop post 15, thereby interfering with the rotation of the rotating rod 11 and stopping its rotation. When the rotating rod 11 rotates 90 degrees clockwise, one limiting plate 14 enters the notch 12 and blocks the contact, thus interfering with the movement of the rotating rod 11 and stopping its rotation. The lower limiting plate 14 and the stop post 15 block and limit the movement of the rotating rod 11, controlling its range of motion and ensuring that it can only move within the set range, thus avoiding mechanical damage caused by excessive rotation.

[0043] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model in any way. Although the present utility model has been disclosed above with reference to a preferred embodiment, it is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any person skilled in the art can make some modifications or alterations to the above-disclosed technical content to create equivalent embodiments without departing from the scope of the present utility model. Any simple modifications, equivalent changes and alterations made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present utility model without departing from the scope of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
