Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of pinball game equipment, specifically a new type of pinball gift machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there are no pinball machines on the market that allow three players to play simultaneously. There are no machines where players use the ball to navigate through obstacles and win prizes by running a JP (Jump Ball) light. The points earned are then exchanged for gifts. Furthermore, three players can play and win prizes at the same time. The pinball mechanism uses an internal circulation system, resulting in a better and more convenient gaming experience with a low failure rate. Traditional pinball machines sell pinball balls in shops or on-site, and players throw the balls themselves. This is cumbersome and difficult to control. Players bringing different sized balls or other items into the pinball machine increases the likelihood of malfunctions and raises labor and after-sales costs. Moreover, ordinary machines lack automatic prize dispensing, and manual prize dispensing adds further costs. These older machines generally cannot meet the needs of most customers, often resulting in lost customers. Therefore, it is necessary to design a fully automatic pinball machine that is aesthetically pleasing, easy to use, and reasonably priced, without taking up too much space or incurring high labor costs.

[0042] The top of the body 1 is equipped with a light box area 37, which mainly displays the product logo and serves a decorative purpose.

[0043] Working principle:

[0044] Ball delivery principle: The ball-pushing motor 34 drives the ball-pushing rotary disk 35 to rotate, which in turn drives the ball-pushing rod 31 to move vertically up and down under the guidance of the slide rail slider under the action of the connecting rod 36. Then, the ball in the return ball lane 32 is lifted from the top of the ball-pushing rod 31 and enters the ball lane 21 from the ball outlet 23. Then, the player uses the elastic force of the ball-bouncing rod 22 to bounce the ball to the ball-bouncing plate area 2 to play the game. The ball-pushing rotary disk 35 stops after rotating one revolution by the ball-pushing photo sensor 38. Then, the ball-winning photo sensor 39 detects the ball and starts the ball-pushing motor 34 to deliver the ball to the player.

[0045] Game Principle: After the ball is delivered to the ball hole 23 by the push stick 31, the player uses the ball-bouncing lever 22 to bounce the ball from the ball track 21 to the ball-bouncing plate area 2. First, the ball is dispersed to different positions by the obstacle pin area 16. Then, the ball passes through the sensing area 18 to obtain the corresponding score. The ball then passes through the prize spinning plate 20. The rotation of the prize spinning plate 20 brings the ball to the corresponding hole. Then, the prize scoring plate sensor 25 and the prize counting photoelectric sensor 26 count and award the corresponding score. Finally, the ball returns to the ball track 32 to wait for the next round of the game. After the game ends, the program uses the total score of all the scores in the game to arrange the corresponding prize exit 4 to give the corresponding prize to the player.
