[0054] The terms "include", "include", "have", "contain", etc., used in this article are all open-ended terms, meaning they include but are not limited to.

[0055] Please refer to the following at the same time Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a perspective view of the block conveying nail tray device 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention. Figure 2 for Figure 1This is a perspective view of the block delivery nail tray device 100 from another angle. The block delivery nail tray device 100 includes a nail tray module 120 and a block delivery module 150. The delivery pipe 154b of the block delivery module 150 is used to supply the blocks 130 required by the nail tray module 120. The nail tray module 120 includes a panel 121 and a block drop opening 122, a swing arm 124, a nail tray post 126, and prize sensors 128a, 128b, and 128c disposed on the panel 121. The swing arm 124 is located below the block drop opening 122, so that the blocks 130 falling from the block drop opening 122 will pass through the swing arm 124. Multiple prize sensors 128a, 128b, and 128c are located below the swing arm 124, and when the block 130 falls into one of the prize sensors 128a, 128b, and 128c, different prize selections are triggered. Multiple nail plate pillars 126 are located between the swing arm 124 and multiple prize sensors 128a, 128b, and 128c. When block 130 falls, it collides with the nail plate pillars 126 and bounces irregularly, and randomly generates a hovering rotation before falling, or falls into one of the prize sensors 128a, 128b, and 128c, adding a unique effect to the game.

[0056] The block conveying module 150 includes a block storage cabinet 151 and screw motors (152a, 152b), conveying pipes (154a, 154b), motor control boards (156a, 156b), and support plates (155a, 155b) disposed inside or around the block storage cabinet 151. The screw motors (152a, 152b) are fixed to the outer wall of the block storage cabinet 151 to provide the drive source for pushing the blocks 130 upwards to the nail tray module 120. The motor control boards (156a, 156b) are fixed to the outer wall of the block storage cabinet 151 to control the two screw motors (152a, 152b) respectively. The conveying pipes (154a, 154b) are connected to the block storage cabinet 151 to convey the blocks upwards under the drive of the screw motors (152a, 152b). Support plates (155a, 155b) are used to securely lock the delivery pipes (154a, 154b) to the block storage cabinet 151, respectively.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 3 , it is Figure 1The image shows a front view of the nail tray module, specifically the front view of panel 121. The front of panel 121 includes a block drop opening 122, two swing arms (124a, 124b), a nail tray post 126, and award sensors 128a, 128b, and 128c. The block drop opening 122 includes a quantity calculation sensor to count the number of blocks 130 that fall out. The two swing arms (124a, 124b) are located below the block drop opening 122, causing the blocks 130 falling from the opening to pass between the two swing arms (124a, 124b), thus changing their falling direction. When the two swing arms (124a, 124b) swing left and right, the falling blocks 130 collide with at least one of the two swing arms (124a, 124b), resulting in irregular bouncing. Multiple peg posts 126 are located between the two swing arms (124a, 124b) and multiple prize sensors 128a, 128b, 128c. For example, the peg posts 126 may be located below the two swing arms (124a, 124b) or around the multiple prize sensors 128a, 128b, 128c. Therefore, the peg posts 126 affect the probability of a block falling into the multiple prize sensors 128a, 128b, 128c. The arrangement and number of peg posts 126 and prize sensors 128a, 128b, 128c can be changed as needed.

[0058] Please refer to Figure 4 This is the drive module for the swing arm 124 in some embodiments of the present invention. The drive module for the swing arm 124 is located on the back of the panel 121; in other words, the swing arm 124 and its drive module are located on opposite sides of the panel 121. The drive module for the swing arm includes a swing arm motor 125, a multi-link structure 123, and a drive disk 127. The drive disk 127 is connected to the shaft of the swing arm motor 125 and is driven to rotate by the swing arm motor 125. The multi-link structure 123 connects the two swing arms (124a, 124b) and the drive disk 127. One rotation of the drive disk 127 controls the two swing arms (124a, 124b) to swing for one cycle via the multi-link structure 123. The drive sensor 129 is used to detect the protrusion 127a of the drive disk 127, thereby controlling the drive disk 127 and, consequently, the multi-link structure 123 and the swing of the two swing arms (124a, 124b).

[0059] Please refer to Figure 5This is a perspective view of the block conveying module 150 according to some embodiments of the present invention. The block conveying module 150 includes two conveying pipes (154a, 154b), with the output port 157a of conveying pipe 154a lower than the output port 157b of conveying pipe 154b. In some embodiments of the present invention, the output port 157b of conveying pipe 154b is used to connect to the block drop port 122 of the nail tray module 120, and blocks are pushed upward from the block storage cabinet 151 through the conveying pipe 154b to the block drop port 122 of the nail tray module 120 (please also refer to Figure 3).

[0060] Please refer to Figure 6 , it is Figure 5 A partially enlarged view of the block conveying module. The block storage cabinet 151 includes a pair (i.e., two) of flat-bottomed screws 160a and a pair (i.e., two) of flat-bottomed screws 160b. In some embodiments of this invention, the two flat-bottomed screws 160a are arranged in parallel to define the block conveying pipe 159a between them, and the two flat-bottomed screws 160b are arranged in parallel to define the block conveying pipe 159b between them. The block conveying pipe 159a connects to the conveying pipe 154a, and the block conveying pipe 159b connects to the conveying pipe 154b. In other embodiments of this invention, the block conveying pipe may also be defined by a single flat-bottomed screw and a side wall arranged in parallel. The motor control boards (156a, 156b) are equipped with a forward and reverse rotation mechanism. When the sensor detects that the outlet is blocked, the programmable screw motors (152a, 152b) briefly reverse to relieve the blockage.

[0061] Please refer to Figure 7 This is an exploded view of the screw module in a block conveying module according to some embodiments of the present invention. In some embodiments of the present invention, the screw module includes two flat-bottomed screws 160, a transmission gear set 153, a gear protective cover 153', and a motor coupling 152'. The motor coupling 152' is used to connect the rotating shaft of the screw motor to the gears in the transmission gear set 153. The transmission gear set 153 is connected between the screw motor and the two flat-bottomed screws 160 through the motor coupling 152'. The gear protective cover 153' is used to cover the transmission gear set 153 to isolate it from external foreign objects or dust. In some embodiments of the present invention, the transmission gear set 153 includes four gears. The screw motor controls one of the gears through the motor coupling 152', which enables the two outermost gears to rotate in opposite directions, thereby controlling the two flat-bottomed screws 160 to rotate in opposite directions. In other words, the gear configuration design enables the left and right screws to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. When blocks need to be transported quickly, the configuration of left-hand and right-hand screws can ensure stable and rapid transport of the blocks. The flat-bottomed screw design automatically guides the direction when the blocks fall into the gap, preventing blockage caused by angular deviation when the blocks reach the exit.

[0062] This utility model discloses a block conveying nail tray device, comprising a nail tray module and a block conveying module. The nail tray module allows blocks to collide with the swing arm and nail tray pillars during drop, causing irregular bouncing and random aerial rotation before falling, or landing in one of multiple prize sensors, adding unique game effects. The gear configuration design of the block conveying module enables the left and right screws to rotate synchronously in opposite directions. When blocks need to be conveyed quickly, the left-hand and right-hand screws ensure stable and rapid conveyance. The flat-bottomed screw design automatically corrects the direction of the block when it falls into the interval, preventing angular deviation and blockage at the exit.

[0063] Although the present invention has been disclosed above by way of embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
