Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of amusement equipment technology, specifically relating to a turntable control device and amusement equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Indoor playgrounds are very popular among young people and children, especially for amusement equipment such as claw machines that offer prizes and gifts. There are already more than 1 million similar amusement equipment such as claw machines in China, with second-tier and lower-tier cities being the main drivers of growth. The related amusement equipment industry is maintaining a high growth rate and has reached a scale of nearly 1 billion yuan.

[0003] Besides the conventional claw machines, a new type of amusement ride using a spinning wheel is also popular. Prizes are hung on the wheel, which spins when the ride is started, and the prizes follow. When the user operates the ride, the wheel stops spinning, and a mechanism moves downwards. When the mechanism is pressed to the locking device, the prize falls. When the mechanism is pressed to the empty space, the game ends. Users can observe the speed of the spinning wheel and the position of the prizes to operate the ride and increase their chances of winning.

[0004] Current turntable-type amusement rides typically use meshing gears or a turntable to drive rotation. These meshing gears are designed with a certain amount of clearance (spare space) to ensure proper operation. This clearance is necessary to compensate for manufacturing and installation errors, absorb shocks and vibrations, and prevent damage from rigid contact. However, this clearance also means that when the turntable or gears stop, they can still move relative to each other to some extent, causing wobbling. This can lead to inaccurate control of the turntable within the amusement ride, affecting the gaming experience. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0040] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand this utility model and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit this utility model. In this embodiment, it should be understood that the terms "longitudinal", "lateral", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0041] It should be noted that when one element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to and integrated with the other element, or there may be an intervening element present. The terms "mounted," "one end," "the other end," and similar expressions used in this invention are for illustrative purposes only.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figures 7-10The present invention provides a turntable control device 30, which includes a mounting plate 301, a drive assembly 302, a support assembly 303 and an electromagnetic assembly 304;

[0043] The support component 303 passes through the mounting plate 301 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 301. The drive component 302 is disposed on one side of the support component 303 and is drive-connected to the support component 303 to drive the support component 303 to rotate. It can be understood that the support component 303 passes through the mounting plate 301, with a part of the support component 303 disposed above the mounting plate 301 and a part of the support component 303 disposed below the mounting plate 301. The mounting plate 301 provides support and fixation. The drive component 302 is also fixedly connected to the mounting plate 301. The power output end of the drive component 302 is drive-connected to the support component 303, which can drive the support component 303 to rotate around its own axis.

[0044] An electromagnetic component 304 is disposed on one side of the support component 303 and electrically connected to the drive component 302. When the drive component 302 stops driving the support component 303, the electromagnetic component 304 activates and attracts the support component 303, fixing it in place. For example, the drive component 302 and the electromagnetic component 304 can be arranged relative to the support component 303 or adjacent to it. The electromagnetic component 304 is a component that generates strong magnetism when energized. The electromagnetic component 304 is linked to the drive component 302. When the drive component 302 stops moving, the electromagnetic component 304 is energized, generating strong magnetism. Since all or part of the support component 303 is made of ferromagnetic material, it can be attracted by the electromagnetic component 304, thus fixing the support component 303 and preventing it from wobbling after the drive component 302 stops, thereby improving the accuracy of the turntable control device 30.

[0045] Please refer to Figures 8-10 In this embodiment, the support assembly 303 includes a support shaft 3030, a bushing 3031, and a driven wheel 3032. The bushing 3031 passes through the mounting plate 301 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 301. The support shaft 3030 is disposed inside the bushing 3031 and passes through the mounting plate 301 and is upwardly disposed. It can be understood that the support shaft 3030 is disposed inside the bushing 3031 and can rotate around its own axis. For example, the support shaft 3030 and the bushing 3031 can be connected by bearings or other means, which can realize the connection between the support shaft 3030 and the bushing 3031 without affecting the rotation of the support shaft 3030.

[0046] Driven wheel 3032 is fixedly connected to support shaft 3030. Driven wheel 3032 can drive support shaft 3030 to rotate. It is understood that driven wheel 3032 is set above mounting plate 301 and connected to support shaft 3030, and bushing 3031 is set below mounting plate 301. This arrangement simplifies the installation difficulty of support assembly 303.

[0047] Please refer to Figures 9-10 In this embodiment, the electromagnetic component 304 includes a first fixing plate 3041 and an electromagnet module 3042. The first fixing plate 3041 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 301. A first mounting cavity 3043 is formed between the first fixing plate 3041 and the mounting plate 301. The mounting plate 301 also has a first mounting hole 3044. The electromagnet module 3042 is fixedly connected in the first mounting cavity 3043 and passes through the first mounting hole 3044 and is arranged upward.

[0048] Furthermore, the upper end of the electromagnet module 3042 is close to the bottom surface of the driven wheel 3032, which is made of ferromagnetic material. When the electromagnetic assembly 304 is activated, the electromagnet module 3042 attracts and fixes the driven wheel 3032. Understandably, the electromagnet module 3042 generates magnetism when energized, which is used to attract and fix the driven wheel 3032. The upper end of the electromagnet module 3042 passes through the first mounting hole 3044, close to the driven wheel 3032, and maintains a gap. When the electromagnet module 3042 is not energized, it will not affect the rotation of the driven wheel 3032. The first mounting hole 3044 reduces the distance between the electromagnet module 3042 and the driven wheel 3032, allowing the magnetism of the electromagnet module 3042 to firmly attract the driven wheel 3032, preventing it from wobbling.

[0049] Please refer to Figures 9-10 In this embodiment, the drive assembly 302 includes a second fixed plate 3021, a second driver 3022, and a drive wheel 3023. The second fixed plate 3021 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the mounting plate 301. The second driver 3022 is fixedly connected to the second fixed plate 3021, and the output shaft of the second driver 3022 passes through the second fixed plate 3021 and faces upward. Exemplarily, the mounting plate 301 also has a second mounting hole at a position corresponding to the second driver 3022. The output shaft of the second driver 3022 passes through the second fixed plate 3021 and the second mounting hole, extends upward, and corresponds to the position of the driven wheel 3032. The second driver 3022 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, etc.

[0050] The driving wheel 3023 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second driver 3022 and meshes with the driven wheel 3032. The driver can drive the driven wheel 3032 to rotate via the driving wheel 3023, thereby driving the support shaft 3030 to rotate. The meshing connection between the driving wheel 3023 and the driven wheel 3032 is used to transmit the power of the second driver 3022. Its transmission ratio is accurate, the error is small, and it can achieve high-precision motion transmission. It also has high reliability, requires no intermediate components such as belts or chains, and has strong stability. However, there is generally a gap at the meshing connection of the gears, which means that when the driving wheel 3023 and the driven wheel 3032 stop moving, there is still a small amount of relative movement space between the driven wheel 3032 and the driving wheel 3023. At this time, the electromagnetic component 304 of the linkage control is energized and generates magnetism, fixing the driven wheel 3032, which effectively compensates for the problem of the gear transmission structure and achieves accurate control.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-11 The present invention also provides an amusement device 1, which includes an outer shell, a turntable mechanism 20, a base 40, a pressing mechanism 101, and a turntable control device 30 as described above. The turntable mechanism 20, the pressing mechanism 101, and the turntable control device 30 are disposed within the outer shell.

[0052] The turntable control device 30 is connected to the turntable mechanism 20 via a transmission connection, and the support component 303 is fixedly connected to the turntable mechanism 20. The drive component 302 drives the support component 303 to rotate, thereby causing the turntable mechanism 20 to rotate. It can be understood that the power of the second drive 3022 is converted into the rotation of the turntable mechanism 20. Simultaneously, the electromagnetic component 304, through its control of the driven wheel 3032, ensures that the turntable mechanism 20 is immediately fixed when the second drive 3022 stops outputting power, thus ensuring precise control of the amusement equipment 1 and improving the user experience.

[0053] Please refer to Figures 7-8 , Figure 11 In this embodiment, the turntable mechanism 20 includes a turntable body 201, a connecting plate 202 and a plurality of clamps 203. The connecting plate 202 is disposed at the lower part of the turntable body 201 and is fixedly connected to the turntable body 201. A fourth connecting hole 204 is provided on the connecting plate 202. The support component 303 is fixedly connected to the turntable body 201 through the fourth connecting hole 204.

[0054] Multiple clips 203 are fixed at intervals on the upper part of the turntable body 201. Each clip 203 includes a pressing part 2031 and a clamping part 2032, with the clamping part 2032 facing outward from the turntable body 201. In this embodiment, the game process of the amusement device 1 is as follows: Before operation, the pressing mechanism 101 is positioned above, and the turntable mechanism 20 continues to rotate. The user confirms the operation via a button or joystick, causing the pressing mechanism 101 to move downward, while the turntable mechanism 20 stops rotating. If the pressing mechanism 101 accurately presses against the pressing part 2031 of the clip 203, the clamping part 2032 opens, causing the prize fixed or hung on the clamping part 2032 to fall, thus winning the prize. If the pressing mechanism 101 does not press against the clip 203 but instead extends into the gap between adjacent clips 203, the user does not win a prize. During this process, users need to observe the rotation speed of the turntable mechanism 20 and the desired prize position. By accurately pressing the buttons, the user can ensure that the pressing mechanism 101 presses against the clamp 203, making the game more engaging. However, if the turntable mechanism 20 still has room for relative movement after it stops rotating, the pressing mechanism 101 may squeeze the clamp 203 when it contacts it, causing the turntable mechanism 20 to rotate slightly. This would prevent the pressing mechanism 101 from pressing against the clamp 203, especially if the pressing mechanism 101 was originally positioned near the edge of the clamp 203. This would result in a poor user experience and might lead users to believe that the game device 1 is cheating.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the mounting plate 301 of the turntable control device 30 abuts against the upper part of the base 40 and is fixedly connected to the base 40. Part of the turntable control device 30 extends into the base 40. The base 40 supports the turntable control device 30 and the turntable mechanism 20 by supporting the mounting plate 301.

[0056] Please refer to Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, the pressing mechanism 101 is fixedly connected to the outer shell and disposed above the turntable mechanism 20. The pressing mechanism 101 includes a box assembly 101, a transmission assembly 102 and a pressing assembly 103.

[0057] A receiving cavity 1011 is formed inside the box assembly 101, and a transmission assembly 102 is disposed inside the receiving cavity 1011 and fixedly connected to the box assembly 101.

[0058] The pressing component 103 is located below the transmission component 102 and connected to the transmission component 102. The transmission component 102 can drive the pressing component 103 to move up and down reciprocally.

[0059] The pressing assembly 103 also includes a push pin 1030, which is disposed at the lower end of the pressing assembly 103 and fixedly connected to it. The lower end of the push pin 1030 has a cavity 1031 and a ball bearing 1032. The ball bearing 1032 is fitted into the cavity 1031, with a portion of the ball bearing 1032 protruding relative to the end of the push pin 1030, allowing it to roll within the cavity 1031. Understandably, the pressing assembly 103 is used in the amusement device 1 to press down on the device below, causing suspended or fixed prizes to fall. The pressing assembly 103 is connected to the transmission assembly 102, meaning the transmission assembly 102 can control the pressing assembly 103 to reciprocate vertically. For example, the outer casing of the amusement device 1 is equipped with a control lever or button for user operation. When the user confirms the operation, the transmission component 102 is controlled to control the pressing component 103 to move downward. Upon reaching the lowest point, the transmission component 102 automatically controls the pressing component 103 to reset, i.e., move upward, thus completing one game. The ejector pin 1030 of the pressing component 103 has a freely rolling ball 1032 at its lower end. When the ejector pin 1030 contacts the device below, the ball 1032 can roll within the cavity 1031, thereby reducing friction on the device below and avoiding rigid impact between the pressing component 103 and the device below. This reduces the impact on the pressing component 103 and the device below, extending the service life of the equipment. Furthermore, it prevents the pressing component 103 from shifting or sliding due to rigid impact when it contacts the device below, thus improving the accuracy of equipment control.

[0060] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the housing assembly 101 includes a front cover plate 1012 and a rear shell 1013. The rear shell 1013 forms a receiving cavity 1011 that opens to the front. The front cover plate 1012 is fixedly connected to the rear shell 1013. A first connecting hole 1014 is provided on the front cover plate 1012. It can be understood that the rear shell 1013 forms a receiving cavity 1011 that accommodates the transmission assembly 102 and the pressing assembly 103. The pressing assembly 103 is disposed at the lower part of the housing assembly 101. When the pressing assembly 103 moves downward, the pressing assembly 103 extends out of the receiving cavity 1011.

[0061] The housing assembly 101 is also provided with a fixed slide rail 1016, which is vertically disposed on the inner side of the front cover plate 1012 and fixedly connected to the front cover plate 1012 through the first connecting hole 1014. It can be understood that the fixed slide rail 1016 is fixed on the inner side of the front cover plate 1012, where "inner side" refers to the side facing the receiving cavity 1011; that is, the fixed slide rail 1016 is also disposed within the receiving cavity 1011. In this embodiment, the fixed slide rail 1016 is arranged vertically. The fixed slide rail 1016 is also connected to the pressing assembly 103, which reciprocates vertically along the fixed slide rail 1016. The fixed slide rail 1016 ensures that the pressing assembly 103 will not deviate during movement, thereby improving accuracy.

[0062] Please refer to Figures 2-4 In this embodiment, the pressing component 103 includes a slide cover 1033 and a slider 1034. The two sides of the slide cover 1033 extend forward to form a slide cavity 1035, and the slider 1034 is fixedly connected within the slide cavity 1035. It can be understood that the slider 1034 is relatively fixed relative to the slide cover 1033. The slider 1034 is used to connect with a fixed slide rail 1016 to guide the movement direction of the pressing component 103 via the fixed slide rail 1016. Here, the two sides of the slide cover 1033 extending forward means that the two sides of the slide cover 1033 extend towards the front cover plate 1012 to form two side baffles, in which the slider 1034 is fixed. The fixed slide rail 1016, after being connected to the slider 1034, is also disposed within the slide cavity 1035. Furthermore, the ejector pin 1030 is installed at the bottom end of the slide cover 1033 and faces downward. When the slider 1034 moves downward along the fixed slide rail 1016, the ejector pin 1030 moves downward synchronously. The slide cover 1033 provides space for the slider 1034 to connect with the fixed slide rail 1016 and also serves as a shield.

[0063] The slider 1034 has a groove 1036 in the middle that corresponds to the fixed slide rail 1016. The slider 1034 is movably connected to the fixed slide rail 1016. When the transmission component 102 drives the pressing component 103 to move, the pressing component 103 moves up and down along the fixed slide rail 1016. It can be understood that the size of the groove 1036 corresponds to the fixed slide rail 1016. The fixed slide rail 1016 can be inserted into the groove 1036 and move relative to it in the groove 1036.

[0064] Please refer to Figures 2-6 In this embodiment, positioning grooves 1037 are provided on both sides of the fixed slide rail 1016, and positioning protrusions 1038 corresponding to the positioning grooves 1037 are provided on the inner wall of the slide groove 1036 of the slider 1034. The fixed slide rail 1016 is engaged in the slide groove 1036; or,

[0065] The slider 1034 has positioning grooves 1037 on both sides of the inner wall of the groove 1036. The fixed slide rail 1016 has positioning protrusions 1038 corresponding to the positioning grooves 1037, and the fixed slide rail 1016 is engaged within the groove 1036. It can be understood that the positioning grooves 1037 and positioning protrusions 1038 are used to define the position of the fixed slide rail 1016 within the slider 1034. Therefore, the positioning grooves 1037 and positioning protrusions 1038 cooperate accordingly. The positioning grooves 1037 can be located on either the fixed slide rail 1016 or the slider 1034, as long as the positioning protrusions 1038 are correspondingly positioned. The positioning grooves 1037 and positioning protrusions 1038 ensure that the fixed slide rail 1016 and the slider 1034 will not derail during relative movement, guaranteeing operational reliability.

[0066] Please refer to Figures 1-4 In this embodiment, the front cover plate 1012 of the housing assembly 101 is also provided with at least one limiting groove 1015. The upper end of the slide cover 1033 is provided with a limiting hook 1039 corresponding to the limiting groove 1015. The limiting hook 1039 is located above the side of the slide cover 1033 and is engaged with the limiting groove 1015. It can be understood that the limiting hook 1039 extends towards the front cover plate 1012 relative to the side of the slide cover 1033 and extends into the limiting groove 1015. The limiting groove 1015 is used to limit the travel of the limiting hook 1039 and ensure that when the slide cover 1033 moves out of control and the slider 1034 and the fixed slide rail 1016 are separated, it will not fall due to the limiting effect of the limiting hook 1039 and the limiting groove 1015, thus ensuring the safety of the equipment. Furthermore, two limiting grooves 1015 can be arranged adjacent to each other, which can reduce the processing difficulty of grooving. If only one limiting groove 1015 is opened, it is necessary to ensure that the position of the limiting groove 1015 corresponds to that of the limiting hook 1039. If they do not correspond, the front cover plate 1012 will become a defective product, resulting in material loss. However, the spacing and position of two adjacent limiting grooves 1015 are the same as the two sides of the slide cover 1033. This can ensure that the limiting hook 1039 can cooperate with one of the limiting grooves 1015, thereby reducing material loss and processing difficulty.

[0067] Please refer to Figures 3-4 In this embodiment, the transmission assembly 102 includes a first driver 1020, a transmission turntable 1021, and a transmission component 1022. The transmission turntable 1021 has a second connecting hole 1023. The output shaft of the first driver 1020 is fixedly connected to the transmission turntable 1021 through the second connecting hole 1023. The first driver 1020 can drive the transmission turntable 1021 to rotate. It can be understood that the second connecting hole 1023 is located at the center of the transmission turntable 1021. The first driver 1020 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor, etc. The first driver 1020 can drive the transmission turntable 1021 to rotate around the center.

[0068] The first end of the transmission component 1022 is movably connected to the transmission turntable 1021, and the second end of the transmission component 1022 is movably connected to the pressing assembly 103. When the transmission turntable 1021 rotates, it drives the pressing assembly 103 to reciprocate up and down. It can be understood that the movable connection of the transmission component 1022 to the transmission turntable 1021 and the pressing assembly 103 means that the first and second ends of the transmission component 1022 are relatively fixed to the transmission turntable 1021 and the pressing assembly 103, while the first and second ends of the transmission component 1022 can rotate around their connection points. When the first end of the transmission component 1022 moves to its highest point with the rotating turntable, the transmission component 1022 is vertically positioned, causing the pressing assembly 103 to be at its highest point; when the first end of the transmission component 1022 moves to its lowest point with the rotating turntable, the transmission component 1022 is vertically positioned, causing the pressing assembly 103 to be at its lowest point. When the first end of the transmission component 1022 moves from the lowest point to the highest point, it drives the pressing component 103 to move upward. When the first end of the transmission component 1022 moves from the highest point to the lowest point, it drives the pressing component 103 to move up and down. During these two processes, the transmission component 1022 is tilted relative to the pressing component 103. The arrangement of the transmission component 1022 converts the circular motion of the transmission turntable 1021 into the linear reciprocating motion of the pressing component 103. The structure is simple and reliable, and it can achieve periodic, fixed-stroke motion. Furthermore, the stroke of the pressing component 103 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the connection between the first end of the transmission component 1022 and the transmission turntable 1021. When the first end is closer to the center, the stroke of the pressing component 103 is short; when the first end is farther from the center, the stroke of the pressing component 103 is long.

[0069] Please refer to Figures 3-4In this embodiment, the transmission component 1022 includes a first spherical bearing 1024, a second spherical bearing 1025, and a connecting rod 1026. The first end of the first spherical bearing 1024 is movably connected to the transmission turntable 1021, and the first end of the second spherical bearing 1025 is movably connected to the pressing assembly 103. The second end of the first spherical bearing 1024 is detachably connected to the second end of the second spherical bearing 1025 via the connecting rod 1026. It can be understood that the movable connection between the first spherical bearing 1024 and the transmission turntable 1021 means that the first spherical bearing 1024 is fixed on the transmission turntable 1021, but the first spherical bearing 1024 can rotate around its connection point with the transmission turntable 1021 or around its bearing. Similarly, the movable connection between the second spherical bearing 1025 and the pressing assembly 103 means that the second spherical bearing 1025 is fixed on the pressing assembly 103, but the second spherical bearing 1025 can rotate around its connection point with the pressing assembly 103 or around its bearing. The circular motion of the transmission turntable 1021 can be converted into the linear reciprocating motion of the pressing assembly 103 by means of the first joint bearing 1024 and the second joint bearing 1025, which makes the structure reliable. Figures 3-4 The diagram shows multiple first joint bearings 1024 at different positions. In this embodiment, the first joint bearing 1024 is set to one.

[0070] When the transmission turntable 1021 rotates, the transmission turntable 1021 drives the first joint bearing 1024 to rotate. The first joint bearing 1024 drives the second joint bearing 1025 to move up and down through the connecting rod 1026, thereby driving the pressing assembly 103 to move up and down.

[0071] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the surfaces at both ends of the connecting rod 1026 are provided with external threads. The second ends of the first spherical bearing 1024 and the second spherical bearing 1025 are each provided with a third connecting hole, and the inner wall of the third connecting hole is provided with an internal thread. The connecting rod 1026 is detachably connected to the first spherical bearing 1024 and the second spherical bearing 1025 respectively through the third connecting hole. It is understood that the connecting threads of the first spherical bearing 1024 and the connecting rod 1026, and the connecting threads of the second spherical bearing 1025 and the connecting rod 1026 are in opposite directions. This allows for adjustment of the distance between the first spherical bearing 1024 and the second spherical bearing 1025 without removing them. The structure is flexible, enabling flexible adjustment of the distance while connecting the transmission turntable 1021 and the pressing assembly 103.

[0072] Please refer to Figures 3-4In this embodiment, a positioning block 1027 protruding outward is also provided on the outer periphery of the transmission turntable 1021. The positioning block 1027 is fixedly connected to the rotating turntable. A first position detection mechanism 1028 and a second position detection mechanism 1029 are also provided in the box assembly 101. The first position detection mechanism 1028 and the second position detection mechanism 1029 are respectively fixedly connected in the receiving cavity 1011, and the positions of the first position detection mechanism 1028 and the second position detection mechanism 1029 correspond to each other.

[0073] When the transmission turntable 1021 rotates, the positioning block 1027 rotates with the transmission turntable 1021 and repeatedly passes through the first position detection mechanism 1028 and the second position detection mechanism 1029. The first position detection mechanism 1028 and the second position detection mechanism 1029 determine the position of the transmission turntable 1021 by detecting the positioning block 1027. For example, the first position detection mechanism 1028 and the second position detection mechanism 1029 can be infrared detection devices, which can detect in real time when the positioning hole passes through the first position detection mechanism 1028 and the second position detection mechanism 1029.

Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature.
