[0034] This application proposes an interactive component for an amusement machine, including a game prop receiving module and a counting module. The game prop receiving module includes an opening and a drop channel. The opening is used to receive game props and allow them to slide into the drop channel, which is used to allow the game props to enter the game platform. The counting module is installed inside the drop channel and is used to identify the number of game props entering the drop channel. The game prop receiving module is located above the game platform.

[0035] In the interactive amusement machine component provided in this application, the game items inserted by the user will fall into the game item receiving module. The game item receiving module has a Y-shaped opening structure. When the game items fall into the game platform through the game item receiving module, the system will identify and count them. This allows the system to provide game rewards or display special effects to the user based on the number of game items entering the platform, thus enriching the user's gaming experience during the coin insertion phase while the user is playing normally.

[0036] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an interactive component for an amusement machine is shown. Figure 2 This is a side view of the interactive components of the amusement machine. The interactive components 100 include a game item receiving module 110 and a counting module 120.

[0037] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the game item receiving module 110 has a Y-shaped opening structure, making it easier for game items thrown in by the user to fall into the game item receiving module 110. The game item receiving module 110 includes an opening portion 111 and a drop channel 112. The opening portion 111 is the upper half of the Y-shaped opening structure, and the drop channel 112 is the lower half of the Y-shaped opening structure.

[0038] The opening 111 is used to receive game items and allow them to slide into the drop channel 112; the drop channel 112 is used to allow game items to enter the game platform.

[0039] The counting module 120 is installed inside the drop channel 112 to identify the number of game items entering the drop channel 112.

[0040] The game item receiving module 110 is located above the game platform.

[0041] Optionally, the game props can be metal coins, plastic coins, steel balls, plastic balls, etc., or any combination of metal coins, plastic coins, steel balls, and plastic balls. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0042] In this way, if the game items inserted by the user do not fall into the game item receiving module 110, they can fall normally onto the game platform for coin pushing games. If they fall into the game item receiving module 110, they can fall normally onto the game platform through the drop channel 112, and the number of items falling can be identified at the same time to provide corresponding rewards. For example, falling ten game items can reward two game items, or falling ten game items can reward a chance to win a prize, or every three game items falling can display a special light effect. This application embodiment does not make specific limitations on this.

[0043] In some embodiments, the opening portion 111 is composed of two obliquely arranged plates, and the cross-sectional area of ​​the two plates in the horizontal direction increases with the increase of height.

[0044] like Figure 3 As shown, the board material consists of a first sub-board 113 and a second sub-board 114.

[0045] Optionally, the sheet material can be made of metal or metal alloy, or it can be made of high-strength plastic.

[0046] The second sub-plate 114 is fixed above the falling channel 112, so that the second sub-plate 114 forms a fixed tilt angle.

[0047] It should be noted that the second sub-plate 114 and the drop channel 112 can be integrally formed, for example, by bending the upper half of the plate to a fixed tilt angle, or they can be combined, for example, by fixing two plates together to a fixed tilt angle through welding, riveting, gluing or other fixing methods. In this embodiment of the application, no specific limitation is made on this, or on the fixed tilt angle formed by the second sub-plate 114 and the drop channel 112.

[0048] The first sub-plate 113 and the second sub-plate 114 are fixed together by a hinge 115 so that the tilt angle of the first sub-plate can be controlled by the hinge.

[0049] Understandably, fixing the first sub-plate 113 and the second sub-plate 114 with hinges makes it easier for staff to adjust the size of the opening 111, thereby adjusting the ease with which game props can be inserted into the game prop receiving module 110.

[0050] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, the amusement machine interactive component 100 also includes an interference module 130, which is located outside the game prop receiving module 110. The interference module 130 is used to interfere with the game props entering the game prop receiving module 110.

[0051] The interference module 130 includes two rotating disks 131 and multiple cylinders 132.

[0052] Two rotating disks 131 are respectively disposed on both sides of the game item receiving module 110, and multiple pillars 132 are disposed between the two rotating disks 131, so that the game item receiving module 110 is enclosed inside the interference module 130.

[0053] Optionally, the column 132 can be a cylinder or a prism, and the number of multiple columns 132 can be set according to requirements. This application embodiment does not specifically limit this.

[0054] Optionally, the two rotating disks 131 are provided with corresponding screw holes, and the two ends of the column 132 are threaded. The column 132 and the rotating disk 131 can be fixed by screwing the column 132 into the screw holes on the rotating disk 131.

[0055] Understandably, by setting the interference module 130, the ease with which game props enter the game prop receiving module 110 can be controlled, thereby improving the playability of the game machine's interactive components and enriching the user experience.

[0056] In some embodiments, such as Figure 4 As shown, a fixed disk 133 is also provided between the rotating disk 131 and the game prop receiving module 110.

[0057] The game item receiving module 110 is fixed to the fixed plate 133.

[0058] Optionally, the game item receiving module 110 can be fixed to the fixed plate 133 by means of bolting, welding, riveting, etc.

[0059] A bearing 134 is provided between the rotating disk 131 and the fixed disk 133 so that when the rotating disk 131 rotates, the game item receiving module 110 keeps its opening facing upward and continuously receives game items put in by the user.

[0060] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the interference module 130 also includes a motor 135 and a transmission module 136, which is connected to the rotating disk 131.

[0061] When the motor 135 is running, the transmission module 136 drives the rotating disk 131 to rotate, causing the column 132 fixed on the rotating disk 131 to change position as the rotating disk 131 rotates. Users can predict whether the game props will be interfered with by the column 132 and fall outside the game prop receiving module 110 based on the rotation of the column 132, thereby improving the playability of the game machine's interactive components and enriching the user experience.

[0062] In some embodiments, such as Figure 5 As shown, the transmission module 136 includes a connecting rod 137 and a belt 138, with the connecting rod 137 fixedly connected to the rotating disk 131.

[0063] Optionally, the connecting rod 137 and the rotating disk 131 can be fixed by bolting, welding, riveting, or other methods.

[0064] When the motor 135 is running, the connecting rod 137 is driven to rotate by the belt 138, so that the rotating disk 131, which is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 137, rotates.

[0065] In some embodiments, combined with Figure 4 and Figure 5 ,like Figure 6 As shown, the amusement machine interactive component 100 also includes a decorative box 140.

[0066] The motor 135, belt 138, and the connection point between belt 138 and connecting rod 137 are placed inside the decorative box 140 to prevent game items dropped by the user from falling onto the motor 135 and belt 138 and causing safety accidents.

[0067] Optionally, the exterior of the decorative box 140 can be covered with graffiti or stickers to enhance its aesthetics.

[0068] Alternatively, the interactive component 100 of the amusement machine can be fixed to the game platform by fixing the decorative box 140 to the game platform.

[0069] In some embodiments, the amusement machine interactive component 100 further includes a launching module.

[0070] The launching module includes a launching track. After game items are inserted, the launching module launches game items to the game item receiving module 110 via the launching track, further enriching the user's interactive experience.

[0071] Optionally, the launch trajectory can be directed toward the game item receiving module 110, and the launch angle can be adjusted within a certain range.

[0072] In some embodiments, game items inserted by the user fall randomly above the interactive components of the amusement machine.

[0073] In some embodiments, this application also provides an amusement machine, which includes the amusement machine interactive component 100 described in any of the above embodiments of this application, for improving the user's interactive experience during the coin insertion stage and enriching the user's enjoyment of playing the amusement machine.

[0074] Optionally, the amusement machine can be a coin pusher machine.

[0075] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
