[0002] A darts scoring device is a specialized device used to record a player's score during a darts game. It accurately calculates the score based on the different areas of the dartboard that the dart hits, according to the established rules of the darts game. On a standard dartboard, the center bullseye has a higher score, while the outer rings have relatively lower scores. The scoring device can accurately identify and calculate the score gained from each dart throw, and accumulate it. The player's current single-round score and cumulative score are displayed visually on a digital screen, allowing the player to easily understand their game progress and score status at any time.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application CN202220299010.X, which discloses an automatic scoring device for rigid darts. The device includes a target plate body with a partitioning component dividing the target plate body into several throwing zones. Each throwing zone has a sensor plate with a throwing plate for dart insertion attached to it. A pressure sensor is positioned between the sensor plate and the target plate body. A controller is located outside the target plate body, and the pressure sensors are electrically connected to the controller. The controller is also electrically connected to a scoring terminal. This application enables automatic scoring during dart throwing.

[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: The existing technologies use several pressure sensors to detect and transmit data to the scoring terminal for scoring, which improves the convenience of scoring. However, during use, especially when beginners throw darts, the accuracy may be uncertain, causing the dart to come into direct contact with the scoring terminal, resulting in damage to the scoring terminal. This leads to reduced lifespan, increased maintenance costs, and inconvenience in use. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome the technical defects of existing technologies, this utility model provides a dart scoring device. During use, its protective cover can protect one side of the counting panel from damage by darts.

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0025] like Figure 1-5As shown, this embodiment provides a dart scoring device, including a target plate 1, an extension block 2 fixedly connected to the lower side of the target plate 1, a mounting frame 3 fixedly connected to the lower side of the extension block 2, a counting panel 4 that cooperates with the target plate 1 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting frame 3, a drive groove 5 opened on one side of the extension block 2, a lifting block 6 slidably fitted on the inner wall of the drive groove 5, and a protective cover 7 located on one side of the counting panel 4 fixedly connected to one side of the lifting block 6.

[0026] A rubber ring 16 is fixedly connected to one side of the target plate 1. The rubber ring 16 is bonded to the target plate 1 and contacts the wall. When the dart scoring device is installed in a fixed position such as on the wall, the rubber ring 16 plays an important role in contact and buffering. Since the rubber ring 16 is bonded to the target plate 1, it is fixed in the corresponding position along with the target plate 1, and its outer side is in direct contact with the wall. During the throwing of the dart, the target plate 1 will inevitably be subjected to the impact force generated by the dart. This impact force will cause the target plate 1 to vibrate. The rubber ring 16, with its good elasticity, can absorb and buffer some of this vibration, reduce the impact force transmitted to the wall, and at the same time, it can also reduce the shaking of the target plate 1 caused by vibration to a certain extent, maintain the relatively stable state of the target plate 1, and ensure the accuracy of scoring and the overall stability of the device.

[0027] Multiple limiting blocks 14 are fixedly connected to one side of the mounting frame 3. A soft pad 15 is fixedly connected to one end of each limiting block 14. When the protective cover 7 is impacted, the impact force is transmitted to the limiting block 14 through the soft pad 15, which can reduce the stability of the protective cover 7 after being impacted.

[0028] A noise reduction plate 18 is fixedly connected to the lower side of the inner wall of the drive groove 5. The upper side of the noise reduction plate 18 cooperates with the bottom of the lifting block 6. During the process of the protective cover 7 moving up and down with the lifting block 6, when the lifting block 6 moves downward, its bottom will contact the noise reduction plate 18. The noise reduction plate 18 is usually made of materials with sound absorption and buffering properties, such as rubber and polyurethane foam. When the lifting block 6 contacts the noise reduction plate 18, on the one hand, the noise reduction plate 18 can buffer the impact force generated by the falling of the lifting block 6 with its own elasticity, avoiding the rigid collision between the lifting block 6 and the lower side of the inner wall of the drive groove 5, which would produce a large noise. On the other hand, the noise reduction plate 18 can absorb and block the sound waves generated by the collision, reducing the noise from spreading to the outside, thereby achieving the effect of noise reduction.

[0029] A guide groove 12 is provided on one side of the inner wall of the drive groove 5. A guide block 13 is slidably connected to the lifting block 6 on the inner wall of the guide groove 12. When the lifting block 6 is driven to move up and down in the drive groove 5 by the toothed plate 8, the guide block 13 slides in the guide groove 12. This ensures that the lifting block 6 can only move in a straight line along the direction defined by the guide groove 12, avoiding shaking, deviation or twisting of the lifting block 6 during the movement. This allows the protective cover 7 to rise and fall smoothly and accurately, ensuring the reliability of its protection of the counting panel 4 and its opening and closing operation.

[0030] A toothed plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting block 6, a drive motor 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the extension block 2, an incomplete gear 10 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 9, the incomplete gear 10 meshes with the toothed plate 8, and a fixing mechanism 11 is provided on the upper side of the target plate 1.

[0031] The fixing mechanism 11 includes a hanging frame 111 fixedly connected to the upper side of the target plate 1, a tightening groove 112 opened on the upper side of the inner wall of the hanging frame 111, a double-acting screw 113 rotatably engaged with the inner wall of the tightening groove 112, and two tightening blocks 114 threadedly engaged with the double-acting screw 113. By using a hand knob 17 to drive the double-acting screw 113 to rotate, the double-acting screw 113 drives the two tightening blocks 114 to tighten, thereby tightening the fixed position, ensuring stability after installation, avoiding shaking caused by wind or other influences, and ensuring the accuracy of scoring.

[0032] One end of the bidirectional lead screw 113 extends to one side of the hanging frame 111 and is rotatably engaged. A knob 17 is fixedly connected to one end of the bidirectional lead screw 113. By rotating the knob 17, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 113 can be easily controlled, thereby realizing the fixing and disassembly of the device. There is no need to use complicated tools or perform cumbersome operations, which greatly improves the installation and disassembly efficiency of the dart scoring device.

[0033] Each of the two tightening blocks 114 has a locking groove 19 on an adjacent side. The locking groove 19 is trapezoidal in shape. When the two tightening blocks 114 are tightened, if two nails are being fixed, the locking groove 19 can improve the stability of the tightening. Due to the trapezoidal shape, the nail will first enter the wider opening of the trapezoidal locking groove 19 and then gradually tighten, which can be applied to nails of different diameters.

[0034] The implementation principle of the dart scoring device in this application embodiment is as follows: When in use, firstly, the hanging frame 111 is placed on the reserved nail or corresponding protrusion. Then, the double-acting screw 113 is rotated by the hand knob 17, which causes the double-acting screw 113 to drive the two tightening blocks 114 to tighten, thereby tightening the fixed position, thus ensuring the stability after installation, avoiding shaking caused by wind or other influences, and ensuring the accuracy of scoring.

[0035] Once fixed, the dart is thrown in the direction of the target plate 1. When it contacts the corresponding position on one side of the target plate 1, it transmits the received signal to the counting panel 4. The principle is the same as the existing technology in announcement number CN216620829U, thus enabling the counting panel 4 to display. Upon receiving the signal, during the impact, the protective cover 7 is located on one side of the counting panel 4, forming a barrier to protect the counting panel 4. After counting is completed, the drive motor 9 is started by the corresponding control device, which drives the incomplete gear 10 to rotate. The incomplete gear 10 meshes with the toothed plate 8, and the toothed plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the lifting block 6. Due to the meshing relationship between the toothed plate 8 and the incomplete gear 10, as the incomplete gear 10 rotates, it drives the toothed plate 8 to move upward, thereby opening the protective cover 7 and slowly revealing the counting panel 4. This is like a unique opening ceremony of a game, filling players with anticipation during the short time they wait for the scoring device to be revealed. This not only protects the counting panel 4 but also enhances its vitality and fun. After contacting the non-gear position of the incomplete gear 10, the lifting block 6 and the protective cover 7 move downward under the principle of gravity, thus resetting to the front side of the counting panel 4 for the next protection.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications may be made to this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention. All such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the invention as claimed, which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
