[0024] Embodiments of this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While embodiments of this application are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that this application may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided to make this application more thorough and complete, and to fully convey the scope of this application to those skilled in the art.

[0025] It should be understood that although the terms "first," "second," "third," etc., may be used in this application to describe various information, this information should not be limited to these terms. These terms are only used to distinguish information of the same type from one another.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] Furthermore, in the embodiments of this application, "multiple" refers to two or more. Therefore, in the embodiments of this application, "multiple" can also be understood as "at least two". "At least one" can be understood as one or more, such as one, two, or more. For example, including at least one means including one, two, or more, and is not limited to which ones are included.

[0028] Unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0029] Game consoles typically have component matching devices. For example, when two components in the matching device match, the user can be considered to have won the game. However, some matching devices will still force the two components to move back and forth to match when the user has lost the game. This can easily damage the two components and is not conducive to the long-term operation of the game console.

[0030] To address the aforementioned issues, this application provides a star-pushing protection structure that can prevent damage to components during movement and matching when a user fails in a game, thereby improving the lifespan of the game console.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0032] See Figures 1-5 A push-star protection structure includes a base 1, a panel 2 on one side of the base 1, the base 1 being fixedly mounted on the ground, and the panel 2 being positioned at the front end of the base 1. The panel 2 faces the customer and provides support. A mounting hole 201 is provided in the center of the panel 2. A drive module 3 includes a drive motor 301 and a support frame 302, both mounted on the base 1. The drive motor 301 drives the support frame 302 to move back and forth. According to the program settings, the drive motor 301 can drive the support frame 302 to move forward or backward, so that... Mounting component 402 is inserted into or away from mounting hole 201; Rotation module 4 includes rotation motor 401 and mounting component 402. Rotation motor 401 is mounted on support frame 302. The output end of rotation motor 401 is connected to mounting hole 201. Rotation motor 401 can drive mounting component 402 to rotate through output end. Mounting component 402 is located on the side of rotation motor 401 away from output end. Mounting component 402 matches mounting hole 201. Mounting component 402 is located at the front end of panel 2 and at a certain distance from mounting hole 201. Mounting component 402 can be inserted into mounting hole 201.

[0033] In one possible implementation, a fixed bracket 403 is disposed inside the support frame 302, and a rotary motor 401 is fixedly disposed inside the support frame 302. The rotary motor 401 is fixedly disposed on the fixed bracket 403, which can prevent the rotary motor 401 from shifting or falling.

[0034] In one possible implementation, it further includes: a buffer module 5, which includes a buffer control element 501 and at least one buffer unit. The buffer control element 501 is disposed on one side of the support frame 302. The buffer control element 501 can control the drive motor 301 to stop driving the support frame 302 to move backward. For example, the buffer control element 501 can have a certain displacement stroke. When the buffer control element 501 reaches the maximum displacement stroke, it can control the drive motor 301 to stop driving the support frame 302 to move backward. The buffer unit is disposed on one side of the fixed bracket 403. The buffer unit can buffer, and the spring can provide a certain elastic force to prevent the mounting part 402 from colliding with the panel 2 when it is not aligned with the mounting hole 201, and to reduce the displacement force of the mounting part 402. The buffer unit includes a buffer spring 502, a buffer slide rail 503, and a buffer slider 504. The buffer slide rail 503 is disposed on one side of the fixed bracket 403, and the buffer slider 504 slides... The buffer spring 502 is mounted on the buffer slide rail 503. One end of the buffer spring 502 is connected to one side of the fixed bracket 403, and the other end of the buffer spring 502 is connected to one side of the buffer slider 504. When the mounting part 402 does not match the mounting hole 201, the drive motor 301 drives the support frame 302 to move backward. While the support frame 302 moves backward, the buffer slider 504 slides on the buffer slide rail 503. The buffer spring 502 provides a certain elastic force to slow down the backward movement of the support frame 302, thereby slowing down the backward movement of the mounting part 402. After moving a certain distance, the buffer control part 501 prevents the support frame 302 from continuing to move backward to avoid the mounting part 402 from continuing to move backward and colliding with the panel 2. At this time, the buffer spring 502 is stretched to a certain extent, and the drive motor 301 can drive the support frame 302 to reset. The buffer spring 502 can provide a certain tension to assist the support frame 302 in restoring.

[0035] In one possible implementation, the base 1 includes a first limiting photoelectric eye 6 and a second limiting photoelectric eye 7, with the second limiting photoelectric eye 7 located on one side of the first limiting photoelectric eye 6; a limiting piece 8 is provided at the upper end of the support frame 302, which can be inserted into the first limiting photoelectric eye 6 and the second limiting photoelectric eye 7. The first limiting photoelectric eye 6 can be used to control the support frame 302 to return to its initial position. When the limiting piece 8 is in the first limiting photoelectric eye 6, the drive motor 301 stops operating, causing the support frame 302 to return to its initial position; when the mounting part 402 is matched with the mounting part, the mounting part 402 is inserted into the mounting hole 201, at which time the limiting piece is inserted into the second limiting photoelectric eye 7, and the drive motor 301 stops driving the support frame 302 to move backward.

[0036] In one possible implementation, a rotation limiting photoelectric sensor 9 is also provided on the base 1, and a rotation slice 10 is provided on the output end of the rotation motor 401. The rotation slice 10 is located between the rotation motor 401 and the panel 2. The rotation slice 10 can be inserted through the rotation limiting photoelectric sensor 9. The rotation slice 10 and the rotation limiting photoelectric sensor 9 can be used to determine whether the mounting member 402 is aligned with the mounting hole 201. When the rotation slice 10 is inserted into the rotation limiting photoelectric sensor 9, it can be determined that the mounting member 402 is aligned with the mounting hole 201, that is, the drive motor 301 can drive the mounting member 402 to be inserted into the mounting hole 201.

[0037] In one possible implementation, the drive module 3 further includes a drive shaft 303, one side of which is connected to the output end of the drive motor 301, and the other side of which is connected to the fixed bracket 403.

[0038] In one possible implementation, both the mounting hole 201 and the mounting element 402 are pentagonal in shape.

[0039] In one possible implementation, a light-emitting element is provided on the panel 2, which is capable of emitting light, such as a lamp. When the mounting piece 402 is successfully inserted into the mounting hole 201, the light-emitting element can emit light to remind the user that the game has been successfully completed.

[0040] Working Principle: When the push-star protection structure starts operating, for example, when a user inserts game coins into the game machine, the game machine controls the push-star protection structure to start operating. First, the rotary motor 401 starts to drive the rotary slice 10 and the mounting part 402 to rotate. After rotating for a certain period of time, the rotary motor 401 stops driving the rotary slice 10 and the mounting part 402 to rotate. At this time, the position of the rotary slice 10 can be used to determine whether the mounting part 402 is aligned with the mounting hole 201. When the rotary slice 10 is located within the rotation limit photoelectric eye 9, it can be determined that the mounting part 402 is aligned with the mounting hole 201. At this time, the drive motor 301 drives the support frame 302 to move backward through the transmission shaft 303, causing the rotary motor 401, mounting part 402 and other components to move backward together. When the limit plate 8 is located at the second limit photoelectric eye 7, the drive motor 301 stops operating. At this time, the mounting part 402 is fully inserted into the mounting hole 201. After the game ends, the drive motor 301 drives the support frame 302... When the limiting plate 8 is located in the second limiting photoelectric eye 7, it can be determined that the support frame 302 has returned to the initial position, and the drive motor 301 stops operating. At this time, the mounting piece 402 extends out of the mounting hole 201. When the rotating slice 10 is not located in the rotating limiting photoelectric eye 9, it can be determined that the mounting piece 402 is not aligned with the mounting hole 201, and the mounting piece 402 cannot be inserted into the mounting hole 201. At this time, the drive motor 301 drives the support frame 302 to move backward. The buffer unit of the buffer module 5 buffers the backward movement speed of the support frame 302, slowing down the backward movement speed to avoid the mounting piece 402 colliding with the panel 2. When the buffer control piece 501 reaches its maximum stroke, it can be determined that the support frame 302 can no longer move backward, and the drive motor 301 stops operating. After a certain period of time, the drive motor 301 restarts, returning the support frame 302 to the initial position. The limiting plate 8 is located in the first limiting photoelectric eye 6 again, and the buffer control piece 501 also returns to its original position.

[0041] This application also provides a game console that includes the star-pushing protective structure described above.

[0042] The star-pushing protection structure and game console of this application include a base 1, a panel 2 on one side of the base 1, and a mounting hole 201 in the middle of the panel 2; a drive module 3, which includes a drive motor 301 and a support frame 302, both of which are mounted on the base 1, and the drive motor 301 is used to drive the support frame 302 to move back and forth; and a rotation module 4, which includes a rotation motor 401 and a mounting component 402, the rotation motor 401 being mounted on the support frame 302, the output end of the rotation motor 401 being connected to the mounting hole 201, and the mounting component 402 being located on the side of the output end of the rotation motor 401 away from the rotation motor 401, and the mounting component 402 matching the mounting hole 201, which can prevent damage to the components during movement and matching when the user fails in the game, thereby improving the service life of the game console.
