Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of entertainment and fitness equipment technology, and in particular to an entertainment tabletop with an automatic ball return function. Background Technology

[0002] Existing bowling tables with automatic ball return function, such as those disclosed in patent CN201520471571.3, include a bowling table and bowling ball bodies 2. The bowling table includes a tabletop 1, ball-blocking plates 3 arranged around the tabletop 1, and table legs 4 arranged below the tabletop 1. The upper surface of the tabletop 1 forms an angle of 2 degrees with the horizontal plane, and a bowling ball hole 5 is opened at the higher end of the tabletop 1. During use, the elderly person who needs to throw the ball takes the bowling ball body 2 from the ball drawer 6, and then takes the bowling ball. The bowling ball body 2 rolls along the upward tilt of the table surface 1, ensuring it rolls into the bowling ball hole 5 and then falls into the ball drawer 6, thus achieving a successful bowling. Conversely, if the bowling ball body 2 rolls along the upward tilt of the table surface 1 but fails to roll into the bowling ball hole 5, instead rolling back along the downward tilt of the table surface 1, the bowling is unsuccessful. Existing technology simply provides a bowling ball hole 5 at the higher end of the table surface 1. To ensure continuous recreational exercise, the diameter of the bowling ball hole 5 is larger than that of the bowling ball itself. The billiard ball body 2 has a large diameter and is equipped with a ball-holding drawer 6. The ball-holding drawer 6 opens upwards and is located below the table surface 1. The ball-holding drawer 6 includes a rectangular base plate and four rectangular side plates connected end-to-end on top of the rectangular base plate. The bowling ball hole 5 of the table surface 1 is connected downwards to the ball-holding drawer 6, and the bowling ball body 2 falls into the ball-holding drawer 6 through the bowling ball hole 5. The end of the ball-holding drawer 6 away from the bowling ball hole 5 extends outwards from the table surface 1, and the length of the ball-holding drawer 6 extending outwards from the table surface 1 is considerable. With respect to the diameter of the bowling ball hole 5, once the bowling ball 2 falls into the bowling ball hole 5, it can roll back to the bottom of the ball drawer 6, allowing the operator to repeatedly throw the bowling ball 2. However, this technique, because there is only one bowling ball hole 5 and the bowling ball hole 5 is larger than the bowling ball 2, results in a single throwing direction and makes it easy for the bowling ball 2 to be thrown into the bowling ball hole 5. Therefore, the entertainment value is limited, which can lead to low entertainment value and reduce people's interest in continuous entertainment and exercise. Moreover, the need to set up the ball drawer 6 results in a complex structure and high cost. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an entertainment table with an automatic ball return function that is simple in structure, low in cost, and offers a variety of recreational and exercise methods to enhance the continuous recreational and exercise experience of users.

[0004] This utility model of an entertainment tabletop with automatic ball return function is implemented as follows: it includes a table and a ball body. The tabletop includes a table surface with ball holes, ball-blocking plates around the table surface, and table legs below the table surface. The angle between the upper surface of the table surface and the horizontal plane is no greater than 6 degrees. The special feature is that the diameter of the ball holes is smaller than the diameter of the ball body, and there are more than four ball holes. Among them, there are more than two ball holes at the bottom of the high part of the table surface, and more than one ball hole at the bottom of the high part of the table surface on both sides.

[0005] When throwing, the ball is thrown towards the hole. The ball rolls along the table surface toward the hole. If it lands in the hole, it gets stuck and cannot move, thus completing a valid throw. If it does not get stuck in the hole or deviates from the hole, the ball will roll back to the bottom of the table surface, allowing the thrower to throw again.

[0006] Because of the multiple holes, the ball's throwing path is varied, enhancing the entertainment value and throwing diversity. The holes are located at the bottom of the tabletop and on both sides of the tabletop near the bottom of the tabletop to avoid interference between the holes. The hole diameter is smaller than the ball's diameter, allowing the ball to stay inside the hole. This makes it easy to determine the effectiveness of the throw, and eliminates the need for drawers required by existing technologies, thus simplifying the structure and reducing manufacturing costs.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, this invention has the advantages of simple structure, low cost, and rich recreational exercise methods, which can enhance the continuous recreational exercise of recreational exercisers. Attached Figure Description
