[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will now be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0023] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of this utility model are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly. Furthermore, descriptions involving "preferred," "second-best," etc., in this utility model are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, features defined as "preferred" or "second-best" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a ping-pong amusement machine includes a machine body 1. The upper side of the machine body 1 is provided with a forward-inclined guide slope 11. The upper side of the machine body 1 is provided with a rear side plate 12, a left side plate 13, and a right side plate 14 located behind, to the left, and to the right of the guide slope 11, respectively. A ball movement area is formed between the guide slope 11, the rear side plate 12, the left side plate 13, and the right side plate 14. A plurality of inclined through holes 15 are provided near the top of the guide slope 11. A net frame 2 is provided on the upper side of the inclined through holes 15. A plurality of air blowers 3 are provided inside the machine body 1. The air outlet of one air blower 3 is connected to one inclined through hole 15 to blow up the ball and make it float. A mounting bracket 4 is provided between the rear side plate 12, the left side plate 13, and the right side plate 14 and is provided on the upper side of the inclined through hole 15. A plurality of photoelectric sensors 5 are installed on the mounting bracket 4, with their detection ends corresponding to the inclined through holes 15, for detecting whether the ball is floating. The amusement machine body 1 is equipped with a display screen showing the score, and a control module inside the machine body 1 controls the operation of the display screen, the air blower, and the photoelectric sensor. During gameplay, the air blower 3 blows air outward through the inclined through-hole 15. After the player throws a ping-pong ball into the ball movement area formed between the guide inclined surface 11, the rear side panel 12, the left side panel 13, and the right side panel 14, the ping-pong ball bounces on each panel in the ball movement area or rolls along the guide inclined surface 11. When the ping-pong ball reaches one of the inclined through-holes 15, it is lifted by the airflow from the air blower 3 and remains floating. At this time, the photoelectric sensor 5, located on the upper mounting bracket 4, detects the successfully floating ping-pong ball and sends a detection signal to the control module. The control module calculates the score based on the detection signal and displays it on the display screen. During gameplay, players need to estimate the throwing force and angle of each ping-pong ball, greatly enhancing the gaming experience and fun.

[0025] like Figure 4-5As shown, a sleeve 6 is fitted on the upper side of the inclined through hole 15, and a sleeve through hole 61 is provided on the sleeve 6. The air outlet of the blower 3 is connected to the sleeve through hole 61. The mesh frame 2 is set on the sleeve through hole 61. When installing the mesh frame 2, it is only necessary to insert the sleeve 6 with the pre-installed mesh frame 2 into the inclined through hole 15, which makes it easy to quickly install the mesh frame 2 onto the inclined through hole 15.

[0026] like Figure 4-5 As shown, the net frame 2 includes a planar net frame body 21. The net frame body 21 is provided with multiple outwardly extending connecting feet 22. The other end of the connecting feet 22 is connected to the sleeve 6 by screws, which facilitates the quick installation of the net frame 2 onto the inclined through hole 15. The upper side of the sleeve 6 is higher than the height of the guide inclined surface 11 and cooperates with the planar net frame body 21 to increase the difficulty of the ping-pong ball entering the sleeve through hole 61 and being blown up and floating during the rebound and rolling process, thereby improving the game experience and fun.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown, the air outlet of the blower 3 is connected to a conical nozzle 7. The conical nozzle 7 is located on the lower side of the through hole 61 of the sleeve and is opposite to the through hole 61 of the sleeve. The airflow blown by the blower 3 can be concentrated and output through the conical nozzle 7, thereby ensuring that the ping-pong ball is blown up and keeps floating.

[0028] like Figure 5 As shown, a mounting base 8 is provided on the lower side of the guide slope 11 at the corresponding position of the slope through hole 15. The air blower 3 is installed on the mounting base 8, so that the air blower 3 can be quickly positioned and installed on the lower side of the guide slope 11, and the air outlet is set opposite to the slope through hole 15.

[0029] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the mounting bracket 4 is horizontally positioned between the rear side plate 12, the left side plate 13, and the right side plate 14 to improve the detection accuracy of the ping-pong ball in a floating state.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the upper sides of the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 are both arc-shaped sides that are lower in the front and higher in the back. The upper side of the mounting bracket 4 is provided with an upper protective net 9 that is inclined and cooperates with the upper rear side of the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 respectively to prevent the ping-pong ball from leaving the ball's movement area.

[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, a ball collection port 16 is provided near the bottom of the guide slope 11. A guide baffle 17 is provided on the rear side of the ball collection port 16, which is connected to the guide slope 11, the left side plate 13 and the right side plate 14 respectively to guide the ball into the ball collection port 16. The ping-pong ball moving on the guide slope 11 is guided into the ball collection port 16.

[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the inventive concept of this utility model and the contents of this utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
