Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of amusement machines, and in particular to an interactive component for an amusement machine and an alligator machine. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most amusement arcade machines on the market that feature hitting gameplay, such as the crocodile machine, lack devices that allow the crocodile figure to move forward and backward simultaneously while opening and closing its mouth for interactive experience. These are mostly simple screen-based interactive devices or machines where the crocodile doesn't move forward or backward. After being hit by the player, the crocodile's mouth immediately returns to its open state. The crocodile's forward and backward movement is merely a simple indicator of the hit location; the crocodile's movement and mouth opening and closing are independent, and the mouth remains open at all times. This simple gameplay is rather traditional, lacking in experiential and usability, and fails to meet the needs of most players, resulting in low playability and often leading to a loss of players. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an interactive component for amusement machines, in which the interactive main body moves forward and backward simultaneously and is linked to opening and closing actions, resulting in a good interactive experience and convenient use.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following solution:

[0005] An interactive component for an amusement machine includes an interactive main body, a mounting base, and a drive component;

[0006] The driving component is mounted on the mounting base and is used to drive the interactive body to reciprocate back and forth. The interactive body includes a base mounted on the mounting base and an interactive part hinged to the base. The interactive part can rotate relative to the base to realize opening and closing action.

[0007] The interactive part is also provided with a linkage structure, and the base is provided with a limiting component that cooperates with the linkage structure. When the interactive part rotates towards the base to the closed state, the linkage structure cooperates with the limiting component to restrict the interactive part from resetting. When the driving component drives the interactive body to move backward, the linkage structure can disengage from the limiting component to reset to the open state.

[0008] As described above, in an interactive amusement machine component, the mounting base is provided with a limiting member. When the interactive main body moves backward, the linkage structure abuts against the limiting member and is pushed to disengage from the limiting member.

[0009] As described above, in an interactive amusement machine component, the interactive part is hinged to the upper side of the base, the linkage structure is a locking plate extending toward the base, the base is provided with a channel opening penetrating its upper and lower ends, the locking plate is embedded in the channel opening and can extend out from the lower end of the channel opening, and the limiting member is located at the lower end of the channel opening.

[0010] As described above, an interactive component for an amusement machine includes a limiting seat located on the upper side of the channel opening and a limiting shaft located on the limiting seat. One side of the linkage structure is close to or abuts against the limiting shaft, and a recess is provided on the outer periphery of the linkage structure for the limiting shaft to be engaged.

[0011] In the amusement machine interactive component described above, the limiting shaft is movably mounted on the limiting seat, and the limiting shaft can move back and forth relative to the limiting seat.

[0012] As described above, in an interactive amusement machine component, the limiting member is an L-shaped limiting piece with an upwardly extending limiting end, the lower end of the linkage structure is an abutting end, and when the interactive part rotates toward the base to the closed state, the abutting end extends from the lower end of the channel opening and is horizontally opposite to the limiting end.

[0013] As described above, in an interactive amusement machine component, the mounting base or base is further provided with a detection element for detecting the rotation of the interactive part toward the base.

[0014] As described above, in an interactive amusement machine component, the drive component includes a rotating motor, a rotating disk, and a connecting rod. The rotating disk is mounted on the mounting base, and one end of the connecting rod is connected to the rotating disk, while the other end is connected to the base.

[0015] As described above, in an interactive amusement machine component, the drive component further includes a turntable detection element disposed on the mounting base.

[0016] This utility model also provides an alligator machine, including an amusement host, on which multiple sets of the above-mentioned amusement machine interactive components are provided.

[0017] In summary, the advantages of this utility model over the prior art are:

[0018] This utility model provides an interactive component for amusement machines. The interactive main body opens and closes with the base via a hinged interactive part, allowing riders to interact by striking it. In this solution, after the interactive part closes, the linkage structure on the interactive part cooperates with the limiting component on the base to keep the interactive part in a closed state. Furthermore, as the interactive main body moves backward, pushing the linkage structure allows the interactive part to return to the open state. This ensures that the interactive main body can only return to its open state after each interaction, thus accurately counting the number of interactions for each machine and providing a better interactive experience.

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, this utility model provides an interactive component for an amusement machine, including an interactive body 1, a mounting base 2, and a drive component 3. The drive component 3 is mounted on the mounting base 2 and is used to drive the interactive body 1 to reciprocate back and forth. The interactive body 1 includes a base 11 mounted on the mounting base 2 and an interactive part 12 hinged to the base 11. The interactive part 12 can rotate relative to the base 11 to achieve an opening and closing action. In use, the opening and closing action is an important action for the amusement rider to interact with. It is set on different bodies to achieve different effects, such as the interactive effect of opening and closing the mouth, the interactive effect of closing the mouth, etc.

[0026] In this design, the interactive part 12 is further provided with a linkage structure 4, and the base 11 is provided with a limiting component 5 that cooperates with the linkage structure 4. When the interactive part 12 rotates towards the base 11 to the closed state, the linkage structure 4 and the limiting component 5 cooperate to restrict the interactive part 12 from resetting. When the driving component 3 drives the interactive main body 1 to move backward, the linkage structure 4 can disengage from the limiting component 5 to reset to the open state. The interactive main body achieves opening and closing movements through the hinged interactive part and the base, allowing the player to interact by striking it. In this design, after the interactive part is closed by the player, the linkage structure on the interactive part cooperates with the limiting component on the base to keep the interactive part in a closed state. During the backward movement of the interactive main body, the linkage structure can be pushed to reset the interactive part to the open state. This allows the player to reset the interactive part by reciprocating the back-and-forth movement of the interactive main body after each interaction, thus accurately counting the number of interactions for each interactive component and improving the interactive experience.

[0027] In this design, a linkage structure is used to achieve the forward and backward movement of the interactive main body 1 and the opening action of the interactive part 12. A limiting member 20 is provided on the mounting base 2. When the interactive main body 1 moves backward, the linkage structure 4 abuts against the limiting member 20 and is pushed away from the limiting component 5. Its simple structure allows the interactive opening and closing action of the interactive main body 1 to be linked with its forward and backward movement, thereby enhancing the fun of the interactive main body 1. Specifically, the limiting member 20 is an L-shaped limiting piece with an upwardly extending limiting end. The lower end of the linkage structure 4 is an abutting end. When the interactive part 12 rotates towards the base 11 to the closed state, the abutting end extends from the lower end of the channel opening 110 and is horizontally opposite the limiting end.

[0028] Of course, after adopting the above-mentioned linkage effect, when used in interactive amusement equipment such as crocodile machines and whack-a-mole machines, it can more accurately count the number of hits by the amusement riders. That is, each hit to the closing position can only trigger once. The interactive object must wait for it to retract before it returns to the open state and re-extends before the interaction can resume. This makes it easier to accurately record the number of hits and convert them into scores, thereby improving interactivity and entertainment.

[0029] Specifically, the mounting base 2 or the base 11 is further provided with a detection element 8 for detecting the rotation of the interactive part 12 toward the base 11. The detection element 8 can be a detection sensor, which can detect the interactive part 12 switching from open to closed for easy recording. This solution can also realize the forward and backward movement of the interactive main body. If it is detected that the interactive part is closed, the drive component 3 is activated to drive its reciprocating motion. Preferably, in this embodiment of the present invention, the detection element 8 is a touch switch, which has a touch arm extending to the rear side of the interactive part 12. When the interactive part 12 is open, it presses on the touch arm, and when the interactive part 12 is closed, it moves away from the touch arm.

[0030] Furthermore, in this utility model, the driving component 3 includes a rotating motor 31, a rotating disk 32, and a connecting rod 33. The rotating disk 32 is mounted on the mounting base 2, and one end of the connecting rod 33 is connected to the rotating disk 32, and the other end is connected to the base 11. Its structure is simple and facilitates the driving of the interactive subject 1 in a linear reciprocating motion. Of course, to ensure smoother movement, the interactive subject 1 is mounted on a sliding base, and a matching slide rail assembly is provided on the mounting base 2, making the linear reciprocating motion of the interactive subject 1 smoother and extending its service life.

[0031] Furthermore, to facilitate reciprocating motion, the drive assembly 3 also includes a turntable detection component 34 mounted on the mounting base 2. The turntable detection component 34 detects the angle or position of the turntable rotation, and once it reaches the target position, it reverses the rotation motor 31, thereby enabling the interactive main body 1 to perform linear reciprocating motion.

[0032] In this embodiment of the invention, the interactive part 12 is hinged to the upper side of the base 11, and the linkage structure 4 is a locking piece extending toward the base 11. The base 11 is provided with a channel opening 110 penetrating its upper and lower ends. The locking piece is embedded in the channel opening 110 and can extend out from the lower end of the channel opening 110. The limiting member 20 is located at the lower end of the channel opening 110. Its structure is simple. When the interactive part 12 rotates to the closed state, it extends through the channel opening 110, thereby cooperating with the limiting member 20.

[0033] Specifically, the limiting component 5 includes a limiting seat 51 located on the upper side of the channel opening 110 and a limiting shaft 52 located on the limiting seat 51. One side of the linkage structure 4 is close to or abuts against the limiting shaft 52, and the outer periphery of the linkage structure 4 is also provided with a recess 41 into which the limiting shaft 52 can be engaged. By engaging the limiting shaft 52 into the recess 41, the interactive part 12 is restricted to remain in a closed state. Its structure is simple, and it can be reset by pushing the linkage structure 4. Of course, for better reset, a torsion spring structure can be provided on the hinge axis between the interactive part 12 and the base 11 to achieve automatic reset to the open state.

[0034] Furthermore, the limiting shaft 52 is movably mounted on the limiting seat 51, and the limiting shaft 52 can move back and forth relative to the limiting seat 51. The limiting shaft 52 is also kept pressed against one side of the linkage structure 4 by means of a spring or other structure. In this way, when the linkage structure 4 moves down with the closing of the interactive part 12, its recess 41 moves to be opposite to the limiting shaft 52. Under the action of the spring, the limiting shaft 52 is immediately locked into the recess 41 to achieve a good limiting and locking effect.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, this utility model also provides a crocodile machine, including an amusement host 9, on which multiple sets of the above-mentioned amusement machine interactive components are mounted. That is, the base 11 is the body of a crocodile, the interactive part is the upper mouth of the crocodile, and multiple sets are provided on the host, making it convenient to use and highly interactive.

[0036] This utility model provides an interactive component for amusement machines. The interactive main body opens and closes with the base via a hinged interactive part, allowing riders to interact by striking it. In this solution, after the interactive part closes, the linkage structure on the interactive part cooperates with the limiting component on the base to keep the interactive part in a closed state. Furthermore, as the interactive main body moves backward, pushing the linkage structure allows the interactive part to return to the open state. This ensures that the interactive main body can only return to its open state after each interaction, thus accurately counting the number of interactions for each machine and providing a better interactive experience.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
