Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of entertainment machine equipment technology, specifically a rotating coin-spraying mechanism for an entertainment machine. Background Technology

[0002] Current coin-spraying mechanisms in arcade machines mostly employ linear pushing or simple gravity-based coin drop methods, resulting in a monotonous form and a lack of visual impact and fun. When players receive rewards, traditional coin-spraying effects fail to create a lively gaming atmosphere, failing to effectively enhance players' sense of accomplishment and gaming experience. Furthermore, the fixed movement patterns of existing coin-spraying mechanisms cannot flexibly adjust the trajectory and shape of the coin spraying according to the game scenario, making it difficult to meet the diverse and immersive experience demands of modern arcade machines. Therefore, those skilled in the art have provided a rotating coin-spraying mechanism for arcade machines to address the problems mentioned in the background. Summary of the Invention

The lower part of the central axis is conical, and the mechanism itself rotates 360 degrees infinitely. During the game, a certain number of game tokens are placed in the space between the coin cylinder and the central axis.

[0016] 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. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model. Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the invention, the rotating coin-spraying mechanism includes a rotary motor 1, a slip ring 2, a drive gear 3, a rotating shaft 4, a bushing 5, and a central shaft 6. The rotary motor 1 and the slip ring 2 are bolted to the arcade machine body. The rotating gear at the lower end of the rotary motor 1 meshes with the drive gear 3. The lower end of the drive gear 3 is inserted into the rotating shaft 4, which is fitted with the bushing 5. The lower end of the rotating shaft 4 is connected to the central shaft 6, enabling power transmission and allowing the central shaft 6 to rotate 360 ​​degrees infinitely. The lower part of the central shaft 6 is designed in a conical shape, providing a guide slope for the sliding of game tokens. Coin cylinder storage module: Consists of coin cylinder 7, which is fitted outside the central axis 6. Its height is equal to the sum of the lengths of the central axis 6 and the coin sliding ramp 8. It has an open structure at the top and bottom, with its bottom contacting but not fixed to the bottom of the coin sliding ramp 8, thus preventing game coins from falling. During the game, game tokens are stored in the space between the coin cylinder 7 and the central axis 6.

[0017] The lifting control module's core components include a lifting rod 9, a lifting bracket 10, a lifting crankshaft 11, a lifting arm 13, a lifting motor 16, a sliding bearing 18, a crankshaft movable groove 12, a lifting photoelectric sensor 14, a photoelectric sensor bracket 15, a lifting bushing 17, and a lifting rod mounting cylinder 19. The lifting bracket 10 is fixed inside the coin sliding slope 8, with a lifting plate on the front and lifting rods 9 mounted on both sides via lifting bushings 17. The lifting motor 16 is installed at the lower rear end of the lifting bracket 10, with its output shaft connected to the lifting crankshaft 11. The sliding bearing 18 at one end of the lifting crankshaft 11 is inserted into the elliptical crankshaft movable groove 12 of the lifting arm 13. The crankshaft movable groove 12 and the lifting plate are integrated. Lifting rod mounting cylinders 19 are located at both ends inside the coin cylinder 7. The coin sliding slope 8 has circular holes through which the lifting rod 9 passes, connecting it to the coin cylinder 7. A photoelectric sensor bracket 15 and a lifting photoelectric sensor 14 are mounted on one side of the lifting motor 16 to monitor the operating status of the lifting mechanism. When the coin ejection command is triggered, the lifting motor 16 drives the lifting crankshaft 11 to rotate. Through the cooperation of the sliding bearing 18 and the crankshaft movable groove 12, the lifting arm 13, the lifting plate and the lifting rod 9 are driven to move, so that the coin cylinder 7 rises slowly and the game coins slide down the bottom of the coin sliding slope 8.

[0018] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The rotary motor 1 and the slip ring 2 are firmly fixed to the predetermined installation position of the entertainment machine body with bolts to ensure stability and no shaking. The drive gear 3, the rotating shaft 4, the bushing 5 and the central shaft 6 are installed in sequence to ensure tight gear meshing and good coaxiality of shaft connection. The coin cylinder 7 is fitted over the outside of the central shaft 6 so that its bottom naturally contacts the bottom of the coin sliding slope 8. The lifting bracket 10 is fixedly installed inside the coin sliding slope 8. The lifting rod 9 is installed on the lifting plate on the front side of the lifting bracket 10 using the lifting bushing 17, so that the lifting rod 9 passes through the round hole of the coin sliding slope 8 and is inserted into the lifting rod mounting cylinder 19 inside the coin cylinder 7 for fixation. The lifting motor 16, the lifting crankshaft 11 and the lifting arm 13 are installed. The sliding bearing 18 is installed at one end of the lifting crankshaft 11 and inserted into the crankshaft movable groove 12 of the lifting arm 13. The photoelectric bracket 15 and the lifting photoelectric 14 are installed to complete the mechanism assembly. When the entertainment machine is running, the rotary motor 1 drives the central shaft 6 to rotate continuously 360 degrees, and the game tokens are stored between the coin cylinder 7 and the central shaft 6. When a player wins a prize in the game, the system triggers a coin-spraying command, activating the lifting motor 16 and driving the lifting crankshaft 11 to rotate. The sliding bearing 18 on the lifting crankshaft 11 moves within the crankshaft's movable groove 12, causing the lifting arm 13, lifting plate, and lifting rod 9 to move upwards, and the coin cylinder 7 to rise slowly. As the coin cylinder 7 rises, the game tokens, no longer obstructed, scatter in all directions along the conical inclined plane of the central axis 6 in a parabolic trajectory under the influence of their own gravity and the centrifugal force generated by the rotation of the central axis 6, creating a "fairy scattering flowers" effect. Throughout the process, the lifting sensor 14 monitors the lifting mechanism's status in real time to ensure smooth lifting of the coin cylinder 7 and that the coin-spraying effect meets expectations.
