[0012] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of a ball-hitting amusement machine provided in an embodiment of this utility model.

[0013] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the striking device.

[0014] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the ball seat structure. Detailed Implementation

[0015] The technical solution of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0016] Example 1

[0017] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present invention provides a ball-hitting amusement machine, including a machine housing 1, a coin-operated device 2, and a control device 3. The coin-operated device 2 and the control device 3 are installed on the machine housing 1 and exposed on the outer wall of the machine housing 1.

[0018] It also includes a striking device 4; the striking device 4 includes a chassis 41, a striking component 42, an identification switch (not shown), and a transparent cover 43; the chassis 41 is provided with a plurality of downwardly recessed ball seats 411 for accommodating the ball 45, and an upwardly arched partition mound 412 is provided between the ball seats 411; the side wall of the ball seat 411 is provided with a notch 413, and the identification switch is installed inside the notch 413; the bottom of the ball seat 411 is provided with a mounting hole 414, and a striking component 42 is fixedly installed below each mounting hole 414; the transparent cover 43 is placed above the chassis 41, and together with the chassis 41, they form a closed space for the ball 45 to move.

[0019] The chassis 1, coin-operated device 2, operating device, etc. are exactly the same as existing technologies, and will not be described in detail here.

[0020] The ball-hitting device 4 implements and presents the lottery through physical means. The specific working process is as follows:

[0021] When playing, the player controls the ball-hitting component 42 to strike and launch the ball 45 upwards. In this embodiment, there are three balls 45. After falling, the balls 45 will randomly land on several ball seats 411. Balls 45 that do not land directly on a ball seat 411 will be pushed to a nearby random ball seat 411 by a barrier ball. When there is a ball 45 on a ball seat 411, the corresponding recognition switch will emit a recognition signal because it is blocked by the ball 45. Through this signal, the arrangement of the balls 45 can be determined, and by comparing it with the preset winning arrangement, it can be determined whether a prize has been won.

[0022] After the ball 45 is thrown up, it stays within the range of the transparent cover 43, so there is no danger that the ball 45 will leave the machine or hit the player.

[0023] Specifically, the ball striking assembly 42 includes an electromagnetic device 421 and a hammer 422; the electromagnetic device 421 is fixedly installed below the mounting hole 414, the hammer 422 is fixedly connected to the movable end of the electromagnetic device 421, and the hammer 422 passes through the mounting hole 414 and is disposed inside the ball seat 411.

[0024] The electromagnetic device 421 achieves rapid extension and retraction of its movable end by being energized and attracted, driving the hammer 422 to strike the ball 45 upward along the mounting hole 414. The hammer 422 can better protect the ball 45, providing a certain buffering effect and preventing damage to the ball 45.

[0025] Furthermore, the device preferably also includes a prize cabinet 5; the prize cabinet 5 consists of a display rack 51, a pushing device 52, a transparent cabinet door 53, and a collection hopper (not shown). The display rack 51 is provided with a plurality of receiving slots 511 for placing prizes, and the receiving slots 511 are equipped with pushing devices 52 for pushing prizes; the transparent cabinet door 53 is closable and installed at the front of the display rack 51, and the collection hopper is located at the bottom of the display rack 51.

[0026] When the system determines that a player has won a prize, they can directly redeem the corresponding prize from prize cabinet 5. The pushing device 52 can push the corresponding prize out of the receiving slot 511, where it will fall into the collection bin by its own weight. The player can then retrieve the corresponding prize from the collection bin.

[0027] To enhance interaction, preferably, a screen 44 is also included. The screen 44 is located behind the chassis 41 and on the back side of the transparent cover 43. It can perform functions such as game introduction, media playback, and prize selection.

[0028] This utility model provides a ball-hitting amusement machine that uses a ball-hitting device 4 to create a physical lottery game. It is simple to operate, requiring only one button to start playing, making it suitable even for young children and older players who are not very skilled at controls. Features such as prize redemption and multimedia interaction enhance its playability.

[0029] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
