[0002] In amusement parks, the diversity and fun of toy machines are key factors in attracting visitors. Traditional amusement park toy machines typically use fixed electromagnet structures, which significantly limit their working range and flexibility during toy grabbing and launching operations. If a projectile gets stuck on the turntable when it comes off the rack, it can damage the turntable's motor and also reduce the visitor experience. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a rotatable electromagnet structure to improve the functionality and operational flexibility of toy machines, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention

[0027] 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.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 In this embodiment of the present invention, a rotatable electromagnet structure for an amusement park toy machine includes a mounting arm 1, an electromagnetic gun bracket 2, a gun holder bracket 4, an electromagnet 3, a rotating mechanism, and a reset mechanism. The mounting arm 1 is mounted on the toy machine, providing support and adjustment for the entire structure. The electromagnetic gun bracket 2 is rotatably connected to the mounting arm 1 via an adjusting shaft 7, and the gun holder bracket 4 is fixed inside it with bolts. The electromagnet 3 is installed inside the gun holder bracket 4, with an electromagnetic gun head 5 at its lower end and a rotating mechanism at its rear. The electromagnetic gun head 5 is covered with a rubber protective sleeve, and the end of the electromagnetic gun head 5 has a tapered structure. The electromagnetic gun bracket 2 has a strip groove 8 for the movement of the electromagnetic gun head 5 and a wire groove for wires to pass through. One end of the mounting arm 1 is provided with an arm mounting plate 6, and acrylic pressure plates are installed on both sides of the adjusting shaft 7.

[0029] Mounting arm 1, acting as a bridge connecting the toy machine and the entire electromagnet structure, is securely mounted on the toy machine via arm mounting plate 6, playing a crucial role in supporting and adjusting the electromagnet structure. It is connected to the electromagnet gun bracket 2 via adjusting shaft 7. Operators can flexibly adjust the angle of the electromagnet gun bracket 2 according to game requirements using adjusting shaft 7, thereby changing the working position of the electromagnet 3 and effectively expanding its working range. Acrylic pressure plates on both sides of adjusting shaft 7 further enhance the stability and aesthetics of the connection.

[0030] The electromagnetic gun bracket 2, serving as the mounting carrier for the electromagnet 3, is rotatably connected to the mounting arm 1 via an adjusting shaft 7, allowing for flexible rotation and adjustment to adapt to different game scenarios and operational needs. Its lower slot 8 provides ample space for the electromagnetic gun head 5 to freely extend, retract, and swing during operation. The electromagnetic gun head 5 can then launch toys that can be knocked off the toy machine's turntable. The upper wire groove is used to collect the electromagnet 3's wires, tidying up the messy wires and preventing them from tangling and interfering with the equipment's operation. This not only improves the safety of the equipment's operation but also makes the overall structure more aesthetically pleasing and tidy.

[0031] Electromagnet 3, as the core component of this structure, generates magnetism when energized, controlling the ejection of the lower electromagnetic gun head 5. It is a key actuator for the toy machine to achieve various functions. When the electromagnetic gun head 5 on electromagnet 3 gets stuck on the turntable of the toy machine, it will jam the turntable and restrict its rotation, causing damage to the turntable motor. Under the action of the rotation mechanism, when the electromagnetic gun head 5 is stuck on the turntable of the toy machine, the turntable rotates, and the rotation mechanism is driven to rotate by the electromagnetic gun head 5. When the electromagnetic gun head 5 retracts, the rotation of the turntable is also reset by the reset mechanism, which not only reduces the jamming problem of the toy machine, but also reduces the damage to the equipment.

[0032] The rotating mechanism consists of a gun mount rotating shaft 9 and a bearing 16. A disc-shaped mounting plate on the gun mount rotating shaft 9 has a radius larger than that of the bearing 16, and multiple threaded mounting holes are formed on the disc-shaped mounting plate. The bearing 16 is installed in a circular hole in the mounting area 15 of the gun mount bracket 4, through which the gun mount rotating shaft 9 passes. The two work together to allow the electromagnet 3 to rotate with the gun mount rotating shaft 9. The disc-shaped mounting plate at one end of the gun mount rotating shaft 9 is used to fix the electromagnet 3, ensuring that the electromagnet 3 not only rotates but also maintains its stability during rotation, preventing wobbling or displacement that could affect its working effect.

[0033] The reset mechanism consists of a return spring 11, a limiting post 12, a spring pressure plate 13, and a retaining ring 14. The reset mechanism utilizes existing technology, such as a common door lock handle rotation reset mechanism. The return spring 11 is cross-shaped at both ends on either side of the limiting post 12. The spring pressure plate 13 and retaining ring 14, fitted onto the gun mount's rotating shaft 9, provide fixation and limiting. When the electromagnet 3 rotates under external force, the return spring 11 generates a reset force, automatically returning the electromagnet 3 to its initial position when no external force is applied. This ensures the stability and accuracy of the equipment's operation and prepares for the next operation, improving the continuity and smoothness of the game operation.

[0034] It should be noted that, in this document, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Furthermore, the terms "comprising," "including," or any other variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, such that a process, method, article, or apparatus that comprises a list of elements includes not only those elements but also other elements not expressly listed, or elements inherent to such a process, method, article, or apparatus. Without further limitations, the phrase "comprising an element defined as..." does not exclude the presence of other identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes said element.
