Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of game machine technology, specifically to an anti-pinch device for a children's whack-a-mole game machine. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing emphasis on children's entertainment and education, the children's amusement equipment market is booming. A wide variety of fun and educational amusement equipment is emerging, aiming to provide children with diverse entertainment experiences and promote their physical and mental development. The children's whack-a-mole game machine, as a classic amusement device, is loved by children for its simple and easy-to-use operation and fun game modes, and is widely used in playgrounds, shopping mall children's areas, kindergartens, and other places.

[0003] The most common whack-a-mole game machines for children mainly consist of a panel with multiple whack-a-mole holes. The whack-a-mole models pop out of the holes via a mechanical device, and children use a hammer to hit the whack-a-mole to complete the game. At the same time, many children's whack-a-mole game machines on the market also include gifts. When a certain number of points are reached in the whack-a-mole game, a gift will fall into the dispensing port. To prevent the gift from falling directly to the ground, a baffle is installed at the opening of the dispensing port. Players can push open the baffle to get the gift.

[0004] However, the aforementioned whack-a-mole game machine for children has certain safety issues in actual use. Since the main users of the whack-a-mole game machine are children, some children will hold their hands on the edge of the dispensing spout when taking the prize. After the child takes the prize out of the spout, the baffle will automatically reset, at which point the baffle will pinch the child's hand, causing injury. In order to improve the safety of children when using it, it is urgent to improve the existing whack-a-mole game machine. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an anti-pinch device for a children's whack-a-mole game machine, so as to solve the technical problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an anti-pinch device for a children's whack-a-mole game machine, comprising a device body installed at the discharge port of the game machine body, the device body comprising an anti-pinch frame, a connector and a baffle;

[0007] The connector is installed above the outlet of the game machine body. The anti-pinch frame is detachably installed inside the outlet of the game machine body through the connector. A baffle is rotatably installed inside the anti-pinch frame. The distance between the baffle and the inner wall of the outer end of the anti-pinch frame is 20-30mm.

[0008] A limiting block is slidably installed inside the top of the anti-pinch frame, and the bottom outer wall of the limiting block is in contact with the outer wall of the baffle to restrict the baffle.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, a clear framework is provided for the design, production and installation of the entire anti-pinch device, ensuring that the components can be combined in an orderly manner to achieve the anti-pinch function. It also specifies the detachable installation method of the anti-pinch frame and the game machine body, which facilitates the subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the device.

[0010] Furthermore, the connector includes mutually symmetrical mating shells, which are connected by screws. Both sets of mating shells have through holes on their outer walls for bolts to pass through. The connector is threaded to the outer wall of the game console body through bolts and through holes.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the symmetrical docking shells are connected by screws, which facilitates assembly and disassembly. The through holes on the outer wall of the docking shells are matched with bolts to achieve a threaded connection with the outer wall of the game machine body. This connection method is stable and reliable, ensuring that the device will not loosen during use. The clear connection structure provides convenience for the installation and maintenance of the device, reduces the installation difficulty, and improves production efficiency.

[0012] Furthermore, each of the docking shells has a limiting groove, and a positioning block is slidably installed in the limiting groove. The top of the anti-pinch frame has a positioning groove corresponding to the positioning block.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning block slides in the limiting groove and cooperates with the positioning groove on the top of the anti-pinch frame. During installation, the anti-pinch frame can be installed quickly and accurately, preventing displacement or shaking of the anti-pinch frame during use, and further ensuring the reliability of the anti-pinch function.

[0014] Furthermore, the top of the positioning block has multiple sets of grooves, and each set of grooves is provided with a spring that is in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove, and the limiting groove is only in contact with the positioning block and the spring.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solutions, the installation process is simplified, installation efficiency is improved, and the stability of the anti-pinch frame during use is also ensured.

[0016] Furthermore, the bottom corner of the positioning block away from the baffle is designed at an angle, and the distance between the two ends of the angled corner of the positioning block is greater than the depth of the positioning groove.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, it is ensured that the anti-pinch frame can smoothly squeeze the positioning block into the limiting groove during installation.

[0018] Furthermore, the top of the anti-pinch frame is provided with a guide groove for the sliding of the limiting block and connected to the positioning groove, and the length of the guide groove is greater than the width of the positioning groove.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the length of the guide groove is greater than the width of the positioning groove, which can prevent the limiting block from affecting the cooperation between the positioning block and the positioning groove during the sliding process, ensure that all components of the device work together, effectively prevent the baffle from pinching the hand, and improve the safety and stability of the device.

[0020] Furthermore, the bottom sidewall of the limiting block has an arc-shaped notch, and the bottom of the limiting block is attached to the end of the baffle through the notch. An extension plate is installed at the bottom of the limiting block, and the length of the extension plate is greater than the thickness of the limiting block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotation angle of the baffle can be precisely limited, effectively preventing children's hands from being pinched when the baffle is reset. The design of the extension plate makes it easy for users to push the limit block, thereby realizing the disassembly of the anti-pinch frame, making the maintenance of the device more convenient and reducing maintenance costs.

[0022] In summary, the present invention has the following main advantages:

[0023] This invention effectively limits the rotation angle of the baffle by setting an anti-pinch frame and a limiting block. Even if a child places their hand on the edge of the anti-pinch frame opening when picking up a gift, they can avoid being pinched by the baffle, greatly improving the safety of children using the whack-a-mole game machine. The device adopts a detachable design. By pushing the extension plate, the restriction of the positioning block on the anti-pinch frame can be easily released, making it convenient to remove the anti-pinch frame from the game machine's discharge port. This facilitates the inspection and maintenance of the game machine's discharge port or device components. At the same time, when the spring elasticity is lost, the connector can be further disassembled to maintain or replace the positioning block and spring, reducing maintenance costs.

[0024] This utility model connects to the game machine body via a connector and bolts, and the positioning block and positioning groove cooperate to ensure the anti-pinch frame is stable after installation and will not shake or shift during use, ensuring the anti-pinch device functions properly. At the same time, the size and structure of each component are reasonably designed. For example, the distance between the baffle and the inner wall of the outer end of the anti-pinch frame is 20-30mm, which can effectively prevent pinching without affecting children's access to gifts. The length of the guide groove is greater than the width of the positioning groove, which ensures the normal sliding of the limit block and does not affect the cooperation between the positioning block and the positioning groove, ensuring the overall performance of the device is stable.

[0031] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0032] The core of this utility model is to provide an anti-pinch device for children's whack-a-mole game machine, which aims to solve the safety problem of children's hands being easily pinched at the discharge port of existing children's whack-a-mole game machines, while also taking into account the detachability of the device and the convenience of component maintenance.

[0033] The embodiments of this utility model will be described below based on its overall structure.

[0034] An anti-pinch device for a children's whack-a-mole game machine, such as Figure 1 - Figure 5 As shown, it is mainly composed of a device body 1 installed at the discharge port of the game machine body 101. The device body 1 includes an anti-pinch frame 10, a connector 11 and a baffle 12. The discharge port of the game machine body 101 is the installation base of the device, and the components of the device body 1 work together to achieve the anti-pinch function.

[0035] The anti-pinch frame 10 is detachably installed inside the discharge port of the game machine body 101 via connector 11. It is the main frame of the entire anti-pinch device. A baffle 12 is rotatably installed inside the frame, which works with the baffle 12 to prevent pinching. A limiting block 16 is slidably installed on the top of the anti-pinch frame 10 to limit the rotation angle of the baffle 12, ensuring that the baffle 12 will not rotate excessively and pinch a child's hand when resetting. The positioning groove 14 on the top of the anti-pinch frame 10 works with the positioning block 13 to achieve precise positioning and fixation of the anti-pinch frame 10 during installation, ensuring its stability during use. In addition, the guide groove 162 on the top of the anti-pinch frame 10 provides guidance for the sliding of the limiting block 16, ensuring that the limiting block 16 can accurately restrict the baffle 12.

[0036] This utility model also provides a connector 11, which is installed above the discharge port of the game machine body 101;

[0037] It includes symmetrical docking shells 110, which are connected by screws. Through holes are opened on the outer wall of the shells for bolts to pass through. The bolts are threaded to the outer wall of the game machine body 101 to achieve a stable connection between the device body 1 and the game machine body 101. The limiting groove 111 opened in the docking shell 110 is used to install the positioning block 13 and provide space for the sliding of the positioning block 13.

[0038] This utility model also provides a baffle 12;

[0039] The baffle 12 is rotatably installed inside the anti-pinch frame 10. It is mainly used to block the outlet of the game machine body 101 to prevent the gifts from falling directly to the ground. When a child takes a gift, the baffle 12 can be pushed and rotated to make it easier for the child to take the item. After the child takes the gift, the baffle 12 will automatically reset under its own weight. However, due to the limitation of the limit block 16, its reset angle is controlled within a safe range to avoid pinching the child's hand.

[0040] This utility model also provides a limiting block 16;

[0041] The bottom outer wall of the limiting block 16 is in contact with the outer wall of the baffle 12. When the baffle 12 is reset, the limiting block 16 restricts the baffle 12 through the arc-shaped notch on the bottom side wall, so that the baffle 12 cannot continue to rotate to the outside of the anti-pinch frame 10 after rotating to a state perpendicular to the inner wall of the anti-pinch frame 10, effectively preventing hand pinching. The extension plate 161 installed at the bottom of the limiting block 16 makes it convenient for the user to operate the positioning block 13 by pushing the extension plate 161 when disassembling the device, thereby realizing the disassembly of the anti-pinch frame 10.

[0042] This utility model also provides a positioning block 13 and a spring 15;

[0043] The positioning block 13 is slidably installed in the limiting groove 111. Multiple grooves are opened on its top, and springs 15 are installed in the grooves and are in contact with the inner wall of the limiting groove 111. When the anti-pinch frame 10 is installed, the top corner of the anti-pinch frame 10 presses the positioning block 13, so that the positioning block 13 compresses the springs 15 and enters the docking shell 110. When the anti-pinch frame 10 reaches the installation position, the positioning block 13 enters the positioning groove 14 under the action of the springs 15, thereby fixing the anti-pinch frame 10. The bottom corner of the positioning block 13 away from the baffle 12 is designed with an angle, so that when the anti-pinch frame 10 is installed, the anti-pinch frame 10 pushes the positioning block 13 into the docking shell 110.

[0044] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: when using this device to take out the gift from the feeding port, even if a child's hand is held at the opening edge of the anti-pinch frame 10 of this device, the child's fingers will not directly touch the outer wall of the baffle 12, so that the child's hand will not be pinched when the baffle 12 is closed later.

[0045] When actually taking out the gift, the child can take it out of the dispensing port of the game machine body 101 by passing the baffle 12 through the baffle. As the child's hand enters the dispensing port, it will push the baffle 12, causing it to rotate. When the child takes out the gift, when the other hand holds the opening edge of the anti-pinch frame 10, the baffle 12 will automatically reset under its own weight. During this process, the outer wall of its end will be restricted by the limiting block 16, so that after the baffle 12 resets, it will be restricted by the notch of the limiting plate 16. This causes the baffle 12 to rotate to a state perpendicular to the inner wall of the anti-pinch frame 10, and it cannot continue to rotate outward of the anti-pinch frame 10. Since the distance between the baffle 12 and the outer inner wall of the anti-pinch frame 10 is 20-30mm, it can effectively prevent the child's hand from being pinched during the reset of the baffle 12, effectively improving the safety of children using the game machine body 101.

[0046] When it is necessary to disassemble this device to inspect the discharge port of the game machine body 101 or the components of this device;

[0047] First, the user puts their hand into the anti-pinch frame 10 and then contacts the extension plate 161. Then, the user pushes the extension plate 161 upward, causing it to push the positioning block 13 upward, forcing the positioning block 13 into the limiting groove 111. Because the width of the limiting block 16 and the length of the guide groove 162 are greater than the width of the positioning groove 14, the limiting block 16 will not enter the limiting groove 111, thus avoiding affecting the subsequent removal of the anti-pinch frame 10.

[0048] At this time, the restriction imposed on the anti-pinch frame 10 by the positioning block 13 and the positioning groove 14 is released. The user can pull the anti-pinch frame 10 outward to pull it out of the discharge port of the game machine body 101. At this time, the corresponding parts can be inspected and maintained, making it very convenient to remove the anti-pinch frame 10 from the game machine body 101.

[0049] When it is necessary to reinstall it onto the game console body 101, the end of the anti-pinch frame 10 is directly pushed into the discharge port of the game console body 101. During this process, the top corner of the anti-pinch frame 10 will press against the angle of the positioning block 13, forcing the positioning block 13 into the docking shell 110. During this process, the positioning block 13 will press against the spring 15. When the anti-pinch frame 10 enters the installation position, the position of the positioning groove 14 on its top will correspond to the position of the positioning block 13. At this time, the restriction of the positioning block 13 is released, and it will enter the positioning groove 14 under the action of the spring 15 to fix the position of the anti-pinch frame 10. Because the outer wall of the anti-pinch frame 10 is restricted by the discharge port, and it is also restricted by the positioning block 13 and the positioning groove 14, the stability of its position during use is ensured.

[0050] When the spring 15 loses its elasticity, the anti-pinch frame 10 can be removed as described above. Then, use tools to remove the bolts used to fix the connector 11, and it can be removed from the game machine body 1. Then, remove the screws that fix the docking shell 110 to separate the two docking shells 110. At this time, the positioning block 13 and the spring 15 can be removed for maintenance or replacement, and then reassembled as described above.

The specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in one or more embodiments or examples.
